Chapter 351 Xuanyue Country Seeks Cooperation
Ye Tang and his companions had just arrived in Beijing and had not had time to rest when Emperor Yuanwu, the Empress and the Queen Mother came over in casual clothes.
"You finally came back. Where is my little great-grandson? Hurry up and bring him here for me to have a good look." The Queen Mother said excitedly, "His name is Yun Ting, right? Yun Ting, Nangong Yun Ting, what a nice name."
Emperor Yuanwu and the Empress were also extremely looking forward to it.
Ye Tang hurriedly asked Tan Yun to bring Xiao Yunting over.
The three big guys held Xiao Yunting in their arms and couldn't let go.
"This is Zhaoyang's grandson. He looks exactly like Zhaoyang."
"The eyebrows and eyes are like Tang'er."
Xiao Yunting is already five months old and can see people clearly. Suddenly he was surrounded by three strangers. He looked around with his eyes wide open with curiosity, without a trace of fear.
From time to time, he would grin at Emperor Yuanwu and the other two, and saliva would flow out of his mouth as soon as he opened it.
Emperor Yuanwu said in amazement: "He has grown teeth. This little guy has grown teeth!"
The queen smiled and said, "She's already growing teeth at just five months old, but Bojin didn't start growing teeth until eight months old!"
The Queen Mother held the child's hand, her eyes kind, "This child is just like his parents, he is blessed!"
After teasing Xiao Yunting for a while, Emperor Yuanwu called Xiao Jingxuan to the study and told him about the natural disasters in Beiyi and Fuso.
"After the natural disasters in these two countries, the border has completely quieted down. However, you also know the temperaments of these two countries. In order to prevent Fusang from bringing the plague to the Yuan Dynasty, we should strengthen our prevention." Emperor Yuanwu looked at Xiao Jingxuan seriously and said, "The official positions in the court have basically been filled, but the officials who have been filled are all newcomers. They lack experience and still need time to gain experience, especially those military officers, who need to be trained well. Jingxuan, I think highly of you, and you have never let me down. I hope you can lead those military officers well."
"My nephew will never let my uncle down." Jamel Xiao said respectfully.
Then, the two talked about opening the border of the North Wing and allowing foreign businessmen to enter and exit.
At the end, Xiao Jingxuan said seriously: "Your Majesty, during this trip to Yuncheng, the minister and the Duke of Protectorate made a new discovery. The North Wing has joined forces with the Miao clan."
After talking for nearly an hour, the two came out of the study.
Ye Tang had already ordered people to prepare dinner, and Xiao Yunting had fallen asleep after feeding.
After dinner, Emperor Yuanwu and his two companions left. Ye Tang and the other two returned to their room, and little Yunting was taken care of by the wet nurse and Tan Yun.
"I told my uncle about Miao Lingshan. He told us to be careful. He will not take Miao Lingshan away. He will leave her for us to catch big fish." Xiao Jingxuan held Ye Tang in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and whispered: "The old emperor of Xuanyue Kingdom has passed away. The new emperor who has just taken office likes our Yuan Dynasty's white sugar, peppers and other things very much. He wants to cooperate with the Yuan Dynasty to buy more white sugar and peppers."
Ye Tang raised his eyebrows: "Is the only thing Emperor Xuan Yue wants is chili peppers?"
"No, there are also high-yield grain seeds."
"I knew it."
"My uncle said that the grain seeds can be given to Xuan Yue, but not now. When to give it depends on Xuan Yue's performance and his mood."
"My uncle also said that the reason why the old emperor of Xuanyue died was because of Helian Roujia. She was sent to Xuanyue to marry and became the old emperor's concubine. She was young, beautiful, energetic, and knew how to seduce. She captured the emperor's heart as soon as she entered the palace, and made the old emperor stay in her room day and night. With her ability, she would have become the most favored concubine of Xuanyue Kingdom in time, but she was unlucky. Less than half a month after entering the palace, the old emperor lay down because of excessive indulgence."
"After the old emperor fell, Helian Roujia became the target of public criticism. Everyone believed that she was the one who killed the old emperor. Not long after, the old emperor passed away and Crown Prince Xuanyue succeeded to the throne. The concubines of the previous emperor, except for the empress, who gave birth to princes, moved out of the palace with the princes. Those who gave birth to princesses were placed in the royal courtyard to enjoy their old age. Those who had no children had to be buried with the previous emperor."
"Beiyi sent two princesses to marry. The second princess of Beiyi gave birth to a daughter, who was placed in the royal courtyard. Helian Roujia had just entered the palace and had not yet had a child, so she did not have the good luck of the second princess of Beiyi. She was sent to the imperial mausoleum and was not allowed to come out for the rest of her life."
Ye Tang sighed deeply upon hearing this: "The Xuanyue Kingdom's system of burying people alive with the dead is really harmful. Helian Roujia and the concubines who were buried with the dead are really pitiful. However, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. I will not sympathize with Helian Roujia."
"She's just an irrelevant outsider. Don't worry about her."
Xiao Jingxuan also talked about the plague in Fusang: "The plague over there is getting worse and worse, and Fusang has not yet found a cure. My uncle said that given Fusang's temper, I'm afraid they will bring the plague to the Yuan Dynasty, so we should be careful."
Ye Tang frowned: "Is Fusang so inhumane? Once the plague spreads widely, it will not only harm the Yuan Dynasty, but also Beiyi and Xuanyue will be affected to some extent."
"If Fuso dares to invade the Yuan Dynasty with a plague, we will flatten Fuso and make it disappear completely."
At dawn the next day, little Yunting started crying loudly. Ye Tang heard the sound and went over. When he saw her, the kid stopped crying and reached out for a hug.
While eating breakfast, the kid half-sat on the cushion, drooling at the mutton noodles in Ye Tang's bowl.
Ye Tang turned around and said to him sideways: "Children can't eat it, it will cause diarrhea."
Xiao Yunting burst into tears.
Ye Tang pretended not to hear.
Jamel Xiao came over with a bowl of mutton noodles that smelled strongly of chili peppers: "Don't cry, son. Dad will give it to you."
He brought the powder to Xiao Yunting. Xiao Yunting smelled the fragrance and opened his little mouth.
The next second, Jamel Xiao took the bowl back: “I’m just kidding, I won’t give it to you.”
Xiao Yunting cried even more heartbreakingly.
Jamel Xiao laughed.
"Don't cry, you can eat it next year."
Tan Yun walked in at this time.
"Your Highness, Princess, the Crown Princess is here with the Crown Prince."
Ye Tang put down the bowl: "They came so early."
She smiled at Xiao Yunting and said, "Don't cry, your cousin will be here to play with you soon."
Ye Tang and his friend came to the flower hall with the child in their arms. Before they entered, they saw a little kid in exquisite clothes standing at the threshold, holding onto the door frame. He raised his short legs, trying to step over the threshold, but he couldn't lift them up.
When Ye Tang saw this little kid, his eyes lit up instantly.
She walked over quickly holding the child.
"Bojin, be careful, don't fall." Qin Jinhua's voice came from the house, and the two maids were guarding the little kid nervously.
The maid wanted to reach out to help the little kid, but he made two dissatisfied noises and refused to let her help. In his excitement, his little foot tripped over the threshold and he fell out of the door.
The maids were very anxious.
Ye Tang strode over, freed up one hand, and quickly supported the little kid's head.
"Little darling, be careful!"
