Chapter 186 7 Your Highness, This Is Too Injustice to You
"No news about Xiaojiu yet?"
"Your Highness, not yet."
"Keep looking. I want to see him alive or dead!"
"Yes, Your Highness." The guard took the order and retreated.
Xiao Jin looked at the snacks on the table, picked up a piece and squeezed it gently in his hand. This was Xiaojiu's favorite snack. He didn't like sweets, but Xiaojiu did, so he always asked the kitchen to stock up on sweets.
The kitchen still keeps these sweets, thinking that he likes to eat them, and he just wants to see these sweets every day so that he will not forget the instructions of the virtuous concubine.
He shouldn't have forced Concubine Xian to tell him the cause of his mother's death. He harmed Concubine Xian and also made Xiaojiu, who loved him the most, still in doubt about her life or death. He was not worthy of being Xiaojiu's brother.
But he hated that man even more. He didn't know why that man could kill his first wife, and even order the death of the concubine whom he doted on yesterday.
He had no desire for the throne, but for the sake of revenge and for those who had harmed him because of that position, he would not let go.

Two days later
Princess Changping's wedding
The whole Yuecheng was bustling with activity. This bustle was different from usual. People just wanted to see other bustles and laugh at the jokes! The only princess of Nanyue married the husband of the eldest princess of Ziyan Country. This was a bustle that was rarely seen in a thousand years.
Princess Changping is now in a difficult situation. She has to do everything she can to snatch someone else's abandoned husband, and she has to marry him even if she doesn't want to.
No matter how rich her dowry was, it could not cover up the fact that she had taken advantage of the opportunity of falling into the water to stick to the prince consort. From her arrogance two days ago to her anger today, she had no place to vent and could only throw things, scold servants, and beat palace maids.
The old emperor was even more annoyed. Not only could he not get angry, but he also had to appease both sides. He couldn't offend one, and prevent the other from going crazy, so as not to let the people laugh at the royal family again.
Except for the common people who were the happiest watching this wedding, everyone else had all kinds of complicated emotions.
Two days after the wedding, the old emperor invited the young princes and envoys of Zi Yan Kingdom to visit the imperial garden. In fact, his main purpose was to find out what good things Zi Yan Kingdom brought this time that could be sold to South Vietnam.
How could Shangguan Yue not know what the old emperor was thinking? She had to give a thumbs up to old man Zhuge. He really packaged the ordinary soap very beautifully. There were two types of packages: one was the most common one for laundry, which also had ordinary packaging; the other was for bathing, which had much more exquisite packaging.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest soap produced by our Purple Flame Nation. This is used for washing clothes. It is simple and convenient to use. It is easier to rinse with water than wood ash and soap nuts. You only need to soak the clothes, brush them with this, rub them for a while to remove all the dirt, and then rinse with clean water.
Another soap that is suitable for bathing, shampooing and hand washing. You just need to rub it clean and rinse it with water. It can also nourish the skin and care for the hair. It is a good product that everyone needs.
Come, bring a basin of water and a piece of dirty clothes, and show them to the emperor and the others."
Xiaobai instructed the maid that this soap was definitely a good thing that everyone would love.
"If there really is such a treasure, then I must take a good look at it."
The old emperor was looking forward to it very much. If there really was such a good thing, would he no longer have to worry about the treasury being insufficient in the future?
Moreover, the conditions offered by the Zi Yan Kingdom were very good. They would pay half in silver and replace the other half with hay and wood. The dry grass and ordinary wood were useless and worthless anyway.
Now it can be used to replace more than half of the silver. I really don’t know if the new Saint King of Zi Yan Kingdom is a fool. However, according to secret investigation, the envoys told the reason after they were drunk.
Zi Yan Country is an island country surrounded by the sea. There are few mountains, so there is a shortage of trees and hay. The people don’t have hay or firewood to make fires for cooking, and silver can’t be used to make firewood, right?
How could the old emperor know that all this information was deliberately leaked by Shangguan Yue through the envoys.
Although Zi Yan Country is surrounded by the sea, it has a large area of green land and rich marine resources. She plans to turn seafood other than fish that no one eats into dried goods and sell them to other countries that do not have seafood. South Vietnam is a good pilot.
Making soap requires a lot of alkali. In ancient times, wood ash was the main material for extracting alkali and was used in large quantities. Although Zi Yan Country had no shortage of plant resources, some of them were reserved for future papermaking.
Moreover, this would confuse other countries, making them think that Zi Yan Country was short of wood and that one of the former saints had a good vision and could exchange fine iron weapons for black soil (coal).
It is really an ignorant joke to let Nanyue think that they want to expand the territory of Zi Yan Kingdom by filling the sea with this black soil where no grass can grow.
Although the Zi Yan Kingdom cannot be compared with other countries in modern times, it is already hundreds of years ahead of other countries in this era.

"Sir, the fact that Zi Yan Country suddenly found Princess Yong Le seems a bit unexpected. Our people have never received any information about Zi Yan Country looking for Princess Yong An before."
"It is indeed a bit sudden. The Purple Flame Country is very mysterious. Not only is it difficult to find where it is, but we don't even know where the entrance is. It's like a place that doesn't exist in this world.
Moreover, the Zi Yan Kingdom has not sent an envoy to visit for more than 20 years. Although the refined iron transactions were delivered on time in the past, it was impossible to find out when it was delivered, and no trace was found.
Although they brought new products this time, their purpose seemed to be specifically for Princess Yongle. Is the mother of this princess, Princess Yongan, really the princess of Zi Yan Kingdom?
Why has no one come to look for her for more than 20 years? But now she is found all of a sudden? You must investigate this Princess Yongle carefully, and get to the bottom of everything."
"Yes, sir, we don't have enough manpower right now. Commander Wang used to be the best at investigating things, but now he can't show up and has gone into hiding.
Although Eunuch Liu loves gambling, he is very capable. However, he and Commander Wang are hiding together. If they were to show up, the young master would be exposed and the emperor would get to know, which would be very dangerous.
So we can't rush to investigate Princess Yongle's affairs now, we can only investigate slowly. Unfortunately, Princess Yongle is a little old, she is already over 28, and you are only 18. Otherwise, if we get married, we can get the help of Ziyan Country, and Xiao Jin's position as the crown prince will belong to you sooner or later."
"Marriage? This is not a bad idea. I am in my prime, and Princess Yongle is past her prime. If I don't mind her age and ask to marry her, she will definitely be touched."
"Sir, you can't do that! She has a pair of children, the older one is only eight or nine years younger than you. This, this, is too much of a loss! And if she had self-knowledge, she wouldn't dare to dream of you, sir."
"I am only marrying her, not staying with her forever, so it doesn't matter how old she is. And with my looks, she will definitely be happy.
It's settled. The Japanese princess will find an opportunity to ask for marriage when the envoy and my father are here."
"Sir, Your Highness the Seventh Prince! This is unacceptable! This is too unfair to you!"
