In the back hall of the Qi Palace, Queen Wuyan stared at the things presented by the servants in a daze, her eyes a little lost. She had a pair of bright eyes that occasionally shone with the light of wisdom. Such eyes, combined with the beautiful face of the city, would be enough to cause trouble to the people of the world.

It's just a pity that God is sometimes very stingy. While giving this woman wisdom, he deprived her of her beauty. Wu Yan not only had an ordinary appearance, but also had her best years. When she looked at the fine wrinkles that appeared on her face in the bronze mirror, she knew very well that those who had lost would never come back.

What made the Queen of Qi feel the most sad is actually not these. Wu Yan, as a royal family member of the Great Zhou Dynasty, came to Qi for so many years and had never had a child of her own. This is the most regrettable thing. If she could have a young man, she might be able to give her the greatest peace of mind. However, until she was at her best age, she did not, and she has been completely desperate now.

Of course, outsiders have no way to understand the bitterness in the queen's heart. In the eyes of the people of Qi, she is wise, kind, and generous, and once secretly brought the secret silkworm breeding technology hidden by the Zhou royal family to Qi. After so many years of development, it has become an industry on which many people in Qi rely on for their lives. It can be said that she benefits the people and has immeasurable merits.

Not only that, she also handled the relationship between the concubines and beauties of the Queen of Qi. The King of Qi was lustful and there were many beauties in the palace. It was naturally inevitable to compete for favor and jealousy, but there had never been any such thing as curtain fighting or even killing each other. This has to be said that the queen has superb skills. On the other hand, no matter how favored the beauties of the palace were, they respected the queen very much. Because all of them understood that although the King of Qi did not love the queen, their relationship might be deeper than ordinary love. It was a long-term dependence and support, and no matter how charming they were, it was irreplaceable.

Queen Wuyan has such a transcendent status in Qi State, and her shadow will appear vaguely behind some military and political affairs. But her cleverness is that she will never take the initiative to interfere in government affairs directly. Therefore, although some ministers of Qi State have many complaints about this, they cannot say it out loud, and they cannot publicly criticize anything.

Just like what happened today, Gongsun Ji, the doctor who knew the mystery of this relationship, had already sent his closest confidants to the palace to meet the queen before deciding to give advice to King Qi at today's court meeting, and informed Wu Yan of the whole story. While they were discussing affairs in the front hall, the queen in the harem was in a state of ups and downs in her heart, facing the "fine salt" from Zhao State, and her mood was undone and could not calm down for a long time.

"I have a few words to ask, bring them all in."

After a long time, Queen Wuyan withdrew her thoughts and gave a faint command. The clerk from the Shangfu Mansion hurriedly arched his body and retreated, and soon brought in a few young people under the close surveillance of the guards.

Zimu and others who came from Zhao State had long known what they should do. After entering Qi State, they must first obtain the support of Queen Wuyan. This is what they said when Chu Jiangmian personally gave them face-to-face teachings to them before leaving Zhao State. Although they did not understand why they did this, since it was His Highness's special order, they naturally had to strictly follow the orders.

"I heard that you are all children of the nobles of Zhao State. So who did you serve for this time when you entered Qi State?"

The queen asked softly on it, but her eyes never left the small plate on her palm. She had put it in her mouth and tasted it a little, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Whether it was the color or taste, the salt of Zhao State was completely different from the sea salt produced in Qi State, and it was incomparable. The people of Zhao State are so amazing! How did they use to make those big and yellow bitter salt blocks so crystal clear and white and fine particles?

It seemed that she had guessed that she would ask this long ago. After the leader Zimu saluted respectfully, he replied calmly.

"Queen, of course we all serve the country. To be more specific, we are now serving Raul, our prince!

The queen nodded slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face. She sighed and said, "The death of King Zhao is recently, and the loss of pillars of the dynasty is really sad. And there is another war... Can your prince, Chu Jiangmian, be shocked to the current situation in Zhao State?"

Zimu raised his head, straightened his body, and replied in the firmest tone: "Thank you for your concern. The king is Xinshen. Although the people of Zhao are in a state of grief, it is time to turn grief into strength and share the same hatred of the enemy to defend against foreign enemies. His Highness the Prince specifically asked us to bring a message to the King of Qi and the Queen, and the enemy who violated Zhao for no reason will be resolutely eliminated. Please rest assured about this!"

"So, what is the attitude of Zhao's Congress to treat Qi?"

"Why did the queen ask knowingly? We came today with sincerity. This is the attitude of His Highness the Prince and Zhao State!"

"So, will you teach the fine salt extraction technology mentioned by Doctor Gongsun Shang to Qi for free?"

"Of course! We came for this... and not only that, as long as Qi retreats immediately and can truly understand the kindness released by Zhao, then there will be better things to dedicate to the King and Queen of Qi!"

Wu Yan was slightly stunned. The fine salt like white snow had already made her very moved. If Qi Guo really mastered this technology, then you can imagine how much wealth it would bring to the country! As for something better... she suddenly looked forward to it very much.

"What else is good...you might as well tell me what to do?"

Zimu looked at each other with several other noble children around him. He reached out to untied a package, took out a gorgeous garment from it, opened it and looked at it carefully, and then handed it over to the Qi State attendant in the hall.

"Queen, please take a good look at how this dress is different from the ordinary ones."

The attendant bowed and put it on the desk. When Queen Wuyan looked down, she didn't feel anything special at first, but when she reached out to pick it up, she immediately felt a difference. She was surprised and couldn't help but stand up suddenly, took the clothes and walked to a place with plenty of light. She looked at the light for only a few times, and the expression on her face immediately changed.

"What is this... made of?"

"The silkworm spits cocoons, and the weaver girl's hands are made."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! No Weaver Girl in the world can make such delicate and even fabrics!"

The queen's voice was filled with unconcealed surprise. For her, such a loss of composure had never been before. Even if she saw fine salt like white snow just now, it did not cause such a big shock to her heart. Because, it is better than anyone else to lead the people of Qi to plant mulberry and hemp, how difficult it is to make such a uniform and delicate fabric. However, the next moment, she heard a positive answer.

"Queen, there is nothing impossible in the world. Perhaps the people of Zhao do things that the Weaver Girls in Qi cannot do. Besides, even if the manpower is limited, it is difficult to get what they want. But if there is exquisite equipment assistance and weaving such excellent fabrics, will the queen still find it strange?"

"You mean...the fabric of this dress is not made of artificial but with instrumental assistance?"

"Yes, the Queen. In order to save labor, our prince specially designed and made looms, which not only greatly improved the level of weaving, but also saved a lot of manpower. The details of this, if the queen is interested in knowing, we brought professional technicians this time, who will stay in Qi and teach the people of Qi to make and learn at any time..."

Listening to the talk from young people in Zhao State, Queen Wuyan became more and more surprised. What would it mean if Qi State obtained such technology? She understood very well. However, the only thing she was worried now was that would the people of Zhao State be so generous and generous to give such important things to all without compensation?

"The queen has no doubt that the technology of refining sea salt and helping the people of Qi make and use looms are two important tasks specially assigned by His Highness. Since we come here with sincerity, we will never give up halfway. As long as the two countries take it sincerely, the benefits they get from it will be huge in imagination!"

It seemed that she had guessed the suspicion in her heart a long time ago, Zimu smiled and gave her a reassuring reply. Queen Wuyan returned to her seat and sat down. In this moment, some very important things were decided.

"Please send someone back and tell Prince Jiang Mian that everything he wants to achieve will be as good as he wishes!"

Zimu and his companions finally heard the promise of Queen Qi, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then they felt great joy. Since the queen had nodded in agreement, they were not worried about the recurrence of King Qi. The two forces of Qi, the doctors of Qi and Lanling Juntian Wuzhao, could not only resolve the crisis of war, but also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them and their families. Each of them was extremely convinced that Chu Jiangmian had said to them personally. The important task of expanding family industry and glory hundreds and thousands of times was firmly in everyone's hands. He had created opportunities for them, and it depends on whether he could seize it!

As expected, not long after, the King of Qi returned to the harem with a little excited look and met the queen Wuyan, who led all the concubines and beauties to welcome him in full costumes.

"Queen, why are you so generous?"
