Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 131: Resentment from afar

"Being a concubine, what's wrong with that? I'm the crown prince of Idan. You should know that to enter my backyard, only Idan nobles can become my woman. Not everyone can become my woman."

Crown Prince Itami raised his chin proudly as he spoke.

He glanced at the crowd with undisguised contempt in his eyes.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please don't go too far. Our Tang Kingdom is not a small country that will allow others to bully us." The generals in the court lost their temper and fought back loudly.

Crown Prince Itami, however, completely ignored the man and simply looked at the Empress. He said, "The Six Nations New Meeting is an important meeting for negotiations on trade, resources, and territory. Your Majesty must be aware that having more allies means having more say."

The empress breathed hard. Tang State was once a powerful country, but since the civil strife, it has been divided among the princes. If it were not for the rise of Taizong, Tang State would have been torn apart long ago. It is unknown whether it has been annexed by the other five countries by now.

Tang State, which had experienced war, was naturally no match for these huge and powerful countries that had been developing steadily.

The reason why Tang State can still survive in the cracks is that it relies on the checks and balances between these countries and the support of neighboring countries.

It would not be wise for Tangguo to offend Yidan at this time.

"Among the six countries, Idan is not the only powerful country. Besides, trade is about interests. I believe that many countries will be interested in our paper." Prime Minister Pei interrupted.

Crown Prince Idan's smile gradually faded, and his cold face revealed a ferocious and fierce look, as if his previous pride and cheerfulness were just a facade.

"Your Excellency, this is wrong. I have traveled extensively in many countries. Although I may not be very knowledgeable, I do have some understanding.

How can our small piece of paper compare to the jewels, gold and silver of Idan?

Even compared to the horses, ironware, and grain of other countries, this stuff is not up to par."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the court, the eldest prince hurried forward to speak up for Crown Prince Itami. He was afraid that if he angered Crown Prince Itami, the marriage would be ruined.

"Enough! I will discuss the matter of marriage with Lord Itami, and then we'll discuss it again! Let's adjourn the court." The empress looked at her son with great disappointment, then stood up and left.

The chief eunuch quickly announced the end of the court session, leaving aside the group of courtiers with their own thoughts.

The eldest prince Fu Lilu wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the clan leader Fu Zeqing. He held an idle position in the Ministry of Revenue and usually did not attend the morning court. Today, he came to the court early because he heard that the envoy of Idan had come to request a marriage alliance.

It was indeed a good show.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. It's natural for His Majesty to feel sorry for his daughter. You have to give Your Majesty some time to think it over." The clan leader stood beside the eldest prince and found that the child had grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a few years, but his thoughts became heavier.

"Mother is too soft-hearted. She almost ruined everything. But if we can win the support of Idan Nation through a daughter, not only can we obtain approximately ten years of asylum, but we can also have a seat at the Six Nations Conference. Those resources, those technologies... As long as they can get a little bit of it, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of Tang Nation!"

Fu Lilu had seen the prosperity of various countries, but he had never seen the life of those nobles and royal families. The luxurious life in those countries made him full of yearning, so he had no way to understand his mother. In her eyes, the people were more important than the noble families, and the royal nobles were actually guilty of the same crime as those poor people.

As the royal family of Tang Kingdom, isn't their purpose to be high and mighty and to control everything?

"Hey, hey, hey, your highness is right. I think how about this? I will host a banquet for your highness and the crown prince at the best restaurant in the capital." The clan leader waved his hand and called over several royal relatives. He took the eldest prince and the crown prince out of the hall.

"This is too much. They simply don't take our Tang Kingdom seriously."

The Minister of Works is a practical man. He has recently been studying Ge Youguang's flood control method with people from the Ministry of Works. The results are remarkable. Based on the cases he has seen over the years, the method they have developed this time is definitely the most advanced technology among the six countries.

What is the point of just owning gold, silver and jewelry? Knowledge and skills are the foundation of a country's prosperity.

"Your Majesty will not agree, the little princess is so young." Ge Youguang's father Ge Hongtao looked at Prime Minister Pei worriedly.

Prime Minister Pei did not miss the many pairs of prying eyes in the hall. He knew very well how many of these people were the Grand Princess's staff and how many were minions recruited by the royal family. He had accompanied the empress to this day and had never begged her for anything. He also understood very well the helplessness in the face of the general situation.

But he had been sober and rational for too long, and he was not allowed to be impulsive and willful for his daughter.

In the downtown area of ​​Beijing, as the New Year approaches, red lanterns are hung everywhere. Many people set up stalls on both sides of the street with various foods, and their shouts can be heard from far away.

Qian Qiansui looked helplessly at Princess Yongle, who was holding a candied haws in her left hand and fried tofu in her right hand, and said, "Your Highness, why are you out again? Isn't His Majesty angry that you've been out all day?"

"My mother asked me to spend more time with you and learn how to do business." Princess Yongle's mouth was full of oil, and the aroma of fried tofu made her miss it for several days.

"I don't know how to do business. The ones who do are my cousin and the talented people in the academy."

Dumbledore is Dumbledore. All her former bodyguards have entered her store. Their brainwashing skills are top-notch and they have already produced several top-selling products. They are also very skilled in martial arts and many hooligans who wanted to cause trouble have been defeated by them.

As the variety of products has increased and branches have been opened in various places, Qian Qiansui also went to find Mr. Cao specifically. He did not ask about the royal family at all, but only talked about logistics and his caravan.

She now knew the origins of Mr. Cao's caravan. They were all soldiers from the fiefdom, much more powerful than the group brought by Han Zhi. If anyone wanted to take advantage of her goods on the road, they would probably have to think twice.

"Yongle! Why did you come out? Does mother know you are out?"

Yongle subconsciously wanted to hide the food behind him, but when he looked at the person again, he seemed familiar, yet a little strange.

"Brother?" There was icing sugar on the corners of Yongle's mouth. She had heard that her brother had returned, but she had never seen him in the palace. She didn't expect that they would meet again on the street.

The eldest prince, Fu Lilu, wanted to scold loudly, but after looking at the crown prince beside him, he forced a smile and said, "This is my good friend, the crown prince of Yidan Kingdom, and this is my sister, Princess Yongle."

Crown Prince Itami's eyes were already glued to Princess Yongle. His backyard was full of beauties, but lacked such a young and cute type, and he suddenly felt a little distracted.

When Qian Qiansui heard that this man was Crown Prince Itami, he was actually happy. Isn't this the big grudge in the book that gave Fu Zichan warmth but ended up losing his head?
