Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 362: Slapping a Dragon's Fart

On the way to the Golden Palace, Eunuch Fu briefly told Hong Xiaoduo about the situation there.

That is, the foreign envoys may have sensed that something was wrong, so they asked for an audience right after lunch without waiting for the emperor to summon them.

"Those gentlemen speculated that it was because they didn't gain any advantage during the morning talks, but they thought that the only opium that could make them make a profit was stopped halfway, so they couldn't sit still.

If we really don't want their opium anymore, I guess there will be trouble." Eunuch Fu looked at Hong Xiaoduo and couldn't help talking more.

It would be inappropriate for a eunuch like him to talk about state affairs, but for some reason, he just wanted to talk to Hong Xiaoduo about it.

"It's useless to make a fuss. You can't just compromise and continue buying things that are harmful to people just because you are afraid of them making a fuss! I think we have been too polite to them in the past and spoiled them." Hong Xiaoduo responded disapprovingly.

As they were talking, they arrived outside the Golden Palace. Eunuch Fu was outside reporting as usual that the interpreter had arrived, and someone inside immediately responded.

As soon as she entered the hall, Hong Xiaoduo felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit tense.

Inside the hall, the foreign envoys were standing on the left side with stern faces.

The ministers from Fengliang Kingdom also didn't look very good.

Hong Xiaoduo brought Kaiyang and first saluted the emperor in front of them, and then stood on the right side.

Minister Cao quickly told Hong Xiaoduo what had just happened. It turned out that while she was waiting for her arrival, the foreign delegation protested, accusing Fengliang Kingdom of disrespecting them and stopping the negotiations.

It was indeed a bit rude to stop the negotiations just like that, so some people from Fengliang Country felt a little guilty. Some of them complained in a low voice that it was all Hong Xiaoduo's fault for not handling it properly. Their original reason was now being used to make trouble.

However, Minister Cao did not dare to tell Hong Xiaoduo this.

I don't know why, but Minister Cao felt that although offending the foreign envoys was a big problem, angering this girl would have even more serious consequences.

"Your Majesty, shall I express myself freely next? Or do you have any ideas?" After hearing what Minister Cao said, Hong Xiaoduo turned sideways and asked the person in front of her.

The ministers standing next to her were speechless. Listen, is this reasonable? How can you talk to the emperor like this?
Still free to play? Things have already gone wrong, shouldn't we think about how to make up for it? Even if opium is not a good thing, we should think about how to say it so as not to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, right?

On the foreign delegation side, the interpreter also translated Hong Xiaoduo's words to his own people.

After hearing this, the members of the delegation were also surprised. They looked at Hong Xiaoduo in disbelief, and then all looked at the person on the dragon throne.

Both sides were waiting for the response from the man on the dragon throne. They wouldn't really let this girl do whatever she wanted! This was no joke!
Facing the gaze of the crowd, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne actually felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

He was very conflicted at this moment, as if there were two voices arguing in his head. One said, don't let this girl act recklessly, this is a national affair!

Another said, just let her do what she wants.

The emperor raised his hand and gestured to Hong Xiaoduo: "You come."

Oh my god, the people from the two countries on both sides actually believe her so much?
Hong Xiaoduo also felt the emperor's dilemma. She had thought it through. If the emperor couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to compromise, she would take Kaiyang and leave. She didn't care about these trivial matters. Whatever happened, she could go back and tell the seven children not to touch the opium.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually believed her. Well, it was worth it that she had just spoken well of him to the queen.

Hong Xiaoduo got the emperor's permission, turned to Kaiyang and said, "Please translate my words later." Then he stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the foreign delegation and asked in English, "I just heard that you have a lot of opinions?"

The envoys of the foreign delegation have now finally confirmed that the reason they suffered a loss in the negotiations was because of this female interpreter.

So, the anger was directed at Hong Xiaoduo, saying that she had no respect for them, did she still want opium, and that she had no sincerity.

Hong Xiaoduo listened to the other party's chatter with an extremely calm expression, without being annoyed or impatient at all, until the other party shut up.

Kaiyang not only translated what Hong Xiaoduo said to the delegation, but also translated the other party's previous accusations.

People from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites looked at their own Emperor and thought, I hope you can be as calm as you appear.

At this time, Hong Xiaoduo said, "It's my turn to speak, right? Your Excellency has mentioned the word respect, but respect is mutual. When the delegation arrived, our Fengliang country treated them with courtesy, but your country, just because you respect us, you can raise the price arbitrarily?
Your behavior is not authentic in itself. Is this friendly trade exchange? I think you are robbers who come to extort money.

He even threatened to ask if he wanted opium. "At this point, Hong Xiaoduo suddenly remembered and turned to look at the emperor: "Do we still want that thing?"

This, you still know to ask me!
I think you just don’t want to take responsibility!

The emperor sat upright and said, "Since opium does more harm than good to people, it's better not to use it."

"Your Majesty is wise and enlightened. The people of Fengliang Kingdom are fortunate to have him." Hong Xiaoduo flattered the emperor very rarely. No, it was a dragon fart!
Then, Hong Xiaoduo faced the delegation again and saw that the other party's interpreter had translated what she and the emperor had said.

"Did you hear that? Our Majesty has discovered the harmful effects of opium on the human body. So, we won't be using it this year, and we don't plan to use it in the future. You can keep it for yourselves." Hong Xiaoduo was very pleased and in a good mood when she said this.

The main thing is that the emperor of Fengliang Kingdom is really a good person, and he is a man who listens to advice.

After learning about the harm that opium can cause to the human body, I decided not to buy it without any hesitation or consideration.

So, Hong Xiaoduo decided to go back and chat with Lord Wei.

The other delegation became furious upon hearing this and loudly questioned, saying that opium was a good thing and their own people were using it. If it were not for the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries, they would not sell it to Fengliang Country no matter how high the price was. They also said that there were many countries that wanted that good thing.

He also questioned where he heard that opium was harmful to humans. He didn't even know what the opium plant looked like or how it was extracted, and yet he was talking nonsense.

If you think it's too expensive and don't want to spend the money, just say so directly. Don't use such despicable excuses.

After listening to Kaiyang's translation, the emperor and Lord Cao looked at Hong Xiaoduo. How should they respond? She must have seen what that thing looked like before it was refined, right?
If you haven't seen it, you can't talk nonsense, otherwise people will laugh at you...
