Chapter 441 A weak country has no diplomacy!
When Mu Qingqing saw Emperor Tai'an's reaction, she knew that he must have suffered losses in this regard before.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingqing slightly raised her chin, her upturned eyes showing her pride, "Your Majesty, a weak country has no diplomacy! If Zhaoxue had learned the language of Xisheng Country at that time and was familiar with the national conditions of Xisheng Country, the result would definitely be self-evident."
When Ye Nanli saw Emperor Tai'an pointing at the picture, his narrow dark eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately thought of the red wine glass that Mu Qingqing had taken out before.
At that time, he had wanted to show off the glass white wine cup seized from the defeated vassal state, but when he saw Mu Qingqing's thin and exquisite red wine glass, he immediately gave up the idea.
Looking at the expression on my brother’s face, I know without a doubt that he must have failed because of this.
Ye Zhaoxue was aroused by this and said, "Master, Xue'er listens to you! I must learn these foreign language books thoroughly and try to understand the national conditions of their countries clearly."
Once I learn these foreign languages, I will be able to help my father deal with foreign envoys.
The next time the foreign delegation comes to Beijing for exchanges, we will never let the other side take any advantage of Donglin Country.
Emperor Tai'an's gloomy face darkened further and further. What Mu Qingqing said was correct. As the last of the four major countries, Donglin Kingdom had almost no say in every meeting of the four countries.
The prince has studied the art of governing a country for many years and has a unique political vision. He learned another key to governing a country from Mu Qingqing's remarks.
The prince bowed to Mu Qingqing and made a sincere request: "Sixth aunt, I also want to learn these foreign language books. I beg you to teach me together."
Mu Qingqing looked at him jokingly, and raised her eyebrows slightly when she looked up, "Does the prince really want to learn? Or is it just a whim?"
The prince bowed respectfully to Mu Qingqing again and said in a sonorous voice, "My nephew is determined to learn this lesson well! This way, I won't be deceived by other countries without knowing it."
Emperor Tai'an's majestic eyes sparkled with a gleam: It's good that the prince has this awareness. If he can also catch the eyes of my sixth brother's wife, then I can really sleep peacefully.
Mu Qingqing's pair of dark eyes seemed to be thoughtful, revealing an unfathomable and profound look that made it difficult to understand.
The prince kept looking at Mu Qingqing with hope, and his posture of saluting remained unchanged.
After a while, Mu Qingqing glanced at him gently and nodded gently, "If the prince really wants to learn, then I will give you an extra set of teaching materials and a reading pen. If you have free time, you can also communicate with Zhaoxue, but you have to communicate in the foreign language you have learned."
The prince couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he heard this. From what the Sixth Aunt meant, did she want him to study on his own?
"Master, if Xue'er doesn't understand something, can you please explain it to me?"
Ye Zhaoxue thought of his time in school. He realized that he could not understand most of the knowledge that the young master taught him, so he spoke nervously.
Mu Qingqing stuffed the book and the reading pen into Ye Zhaoxue's hands and patted her shoulder to encourage her, "Master believes you can do it! If there is anything you really don't understand, you are always welcome to come to Master for help."
Seeing Ye Zhaoxue was extremely excited, Mu Qingqing quickly warned him, "But this can only happen when Master is free!"
After all, I will become busy after the New Year, and it is still a question whether I will be in Shengjing City.
"Well, Xue'er doesn't need to worry about this. She will definitely find Master when he is not busy."
Ye Zhaoxue's eyes were full of admiration for Mu Qingqing, and her slightly flushed cheeks revealed the shy look of a little girl.
Master is so nice, not only is she beautiful, but she is also kind-hearted...
This was such a beautiful misunderstanding. If she had seen how ruthless Mu Qingqing was when training the mercenary group, she would have been so scared that she wouldn't even be able to cry.
Prime Minister Mu quietly turned behind Mu Qingqing, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Qingqing, regarding the exchanges between countries, Daddy, as the prime minister of a country..."
When Mu Qingqing heard this, she immediately understood Prime Minister Mu's hint, smiled at him, and made an OK gesture to him.
Prime Minister Mu also naively made an OK gesture to Mu Qingqing and happily stepped back.
The Queen was originally a little dissatisfied with Mu Qingqing because of the huge loss (120,000 taels of gold). Now that she saw that the Prince was so concerned about foreign language knowledge and Mu Qingqing was willing to teach him, she gradually let go of her dissatisfaction with her.
At this time, Eunuch De walked up to Emperor Tai'an and whispered to him softly, "Your Majesty, the 120,000 taels of gold have been prepared and are placed outside the imperial study."
Emperor Tai'an and Mu Qingqing looked at each other and raised their eyebrows slightly: Sixth brother's wife, what should we do now?
When Mu Qingqing first proposed to Emperor Tai'an to charge admission to the play, he made it clear that all the ticket fees collected would be deposited into his treasury.
As for whether it was deposited into the national treasury or into Emperor Tai'an's private treasury, that was not something he should care about.
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and said jokingly, "Your Majesty, the ancients said that brothers should settle accounts clearly! Regarding the matter of silver, it is best for both parties to count it in person."
Emperor Tai'an nodded very sensibly, "Sixth brother's wife is right! Xiao Dezi, move all 120,000 taels of gold to the imperial study."
Mu Qingqing immediately turned to the Queen and said, "Queen, where can I get rid of Mr. Lu's poison later?"
You can go find a quiet and spacious place for Lu Ziyuan to detoxify now, and I will count the gold slowly in the imperial study.
When the queen heard this, she was unable to react for a moment and stood there in a daze.
Seeing the prince nodding his mouth towards the outside, I suddenly realized that he was asking me to ask for the place to get rid of the poison.
The Queen then leaned forward slightly towards Emperor Tai'an and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, where should I find a place to cure Ziyuan's poison?"
Emperor Tai'an's dark eyes were filled with an unquestionable majesty. "Empress, since we have already found out that Lu Ziyuan is not an accomplice of King Xiaoyao, he should not be cured in the palace given his status. But for the sake of the Grand Tutor, let's arrange for him to be cured in a side hall of the East Palace."
Upon hearing this, the Queen and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, and they both bowed to Emperor Tai'an and hurried to the East Palace.
"Xiaowu, there is nothing for you to do now. Take your new foreign language book and electronic pen back to your palace and study."
Emperor Tai'an spoke to Ye Zhaoxue, who was holding the new book and smiling foolishly, and sent her away.
Ye Tianran was quite perceptive. When Ye Zhaoxue left, he said respectfully to Emperor Tai'an: "Father, I still have a lot of things to do. I'll take my leave now!"
Seeing that Ye Tianran was so aware of the current situation, Emperor Tai'an looked at him lovingly and waved his sleeves to let him leave.
"Okay, Sixth Sister-in-law, now you can count your gold in peace!"
Emperor Tai'an walked around the mahogany box and extended a friendly invitation to Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing smiled evilly, "Your Majesty, you are wrong! You should say, Sixth brother and sister-in-law, come and share the gold that belongs to both of us!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahahahahahahaha, my sixth brother's wife is still good at talking! Then I'd be disrespectful to refuse her!"
Prime Minister Mu and Ye Nanli looked at each other, and just stared at Emperor Tai'an and Mu Qingqing friendlyally opening the boxes and counting the gold, one box after another.
After Mu Qingqing counted four boxes containing a total of 20,000 taels of gold, she stopped opening the boxes.
A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. If it doesn’t belong to him, he won’t even look at it twice!
"Ye Feng, move these four boxes of gold onto the carriage for me!"
Mu Qingqing closed the mahogany box and gave instructions to Ye Feng who was standing in the corner.
Of course, the moment Mu Qingqing closed the box, all the gold in the box had been transferred to the system space.
