Chapter 69

"If all Jing Country officials were as wise and valiant as Your Majesty the King of Jing, Jing Country would undoubtedly be the greatest in the world, unrivaled by any!" The Wu Yun envoy's flattery astounded the entire court of Jing Country ministers.

[Ding, the Wu Yun envoy's affinity level has increased to LV2 'Willing to Negotiate' trade level.]

[The highest level is LV5 'Willing to Offer the Lowest Price' friendly level.]

Xiao Chuchu blinked.

Xiao Yunzhou, upon hearing his daughter's thoughts, narrowed his eyes and looked towards the remaining two envoys, sensing untapped potential.

The banquet soon began.

The Wu Yun envoy instructed his attendant, along with officials from the Ministry of Rites and guards, to fetch horses from the courier station.

The courier station was within the imperial city, so it wouldn't take long. Everyone ate while waiting.

During the banquet, Xiao Yunzhou also arranged for performances from the palace's singers and dancers to entertain the Wu Yun envoys.

[Woo-woo, the Wu Yun people were raised in a life of harshness and bloodshed in their early years.]

[They most revere those with physical strength and martial prowess. Their preferred women are also capable, frank, and robust.]

Xiao Chuchu exchanged gossip using the system information.

[Slender women would starve on the grasslands.]

Xiao Yunzhou listened and was taken aback.

He looked at the thin-armed, thin-legged singing girls in the hall, his expression instantly stiffening.

Indeed, when he turned to look at the two envoys, their eyes were fixed on the slender figures of the palace dancers, and they yawned.

Evidently, the dancers were not to their taste.

Xiao Yunzhou let out a hiss.

[So it seems, the Wu Yun people prefer strong liquor, fierce horses, and domineering women!] Xiao Chuchu excitedly commented to herself, absorbed in the juicy gossip from the system.

Domineering women?

Xiao Yunzhou immediately glanced sharply at the Old Master of the Liu Family.

"???"

The Old Master of the Liu Family blinked in confusion, his mouth twitching.

As expected, Xiao Yunzhou spoke up, "Old Master Liu, how has your wife been lately? Has she scolded you again and pinned you against the wall?"

"??!"

The Old Master of the Liu Family's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.

If he hadn't heard his great-granddaughter's thoughts, he would have wanted to pin the Emperor against the wall right now!

How could he ask such a question! It was unbecoming of the monarch!

But never mind, whatever his great-granddaughter said was law.

"Ahem, she didn't scold this subject. It's just that I woke up a bit late today and almost missed the morning court."

"My wife kicked this subject out of bed with one foot this morning."

"She didn't even give me breakfast, just kicked me out the door."

"!"

The surrounding officials stared at the Old Master in disbelief.
