The upgrade of Concubine Xian in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 187 Detaining Envoys
As the Golden Festival approached, the capital was extremely lively. Many foreign envoys appeared in the Lifan Courtyard. Zarafen heard Hongli mention that these foreign envoys came to congratulate Yongzheng on his enthronement. She looked at the window in surprise. peony flowers in front.

In the history of Qing Dynasty, there is absolutely no record of ten-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand congratulations. She remembers that ten-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand-thousand congratulations took place during the Qianlong period. , the King of Portugal sent an envoy Medello to Beijing via Macau to pay homage to Emperor Yongzheng.He kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, presented a large amount of tribute, and implored the Qing government to protect the Portuguese in Macao and the mainland of China, and no one else came again.

"Jiaojiao, what do you see me doing?" Hongli asked curiously.

Zarafin stuck out his tongue: "Ah Hun, I haven't seen foreign envoys yet, can I go and see them?"

"Do you want the Western dialect taught by Castiglione?" Hongli looked at Zarafin and asked.

According to the imperial decree issued by Kangxi, Lang Shining taught the princes in the study to learn Western dialect, and Zarafin was fortunate to attend a few classes. The little girl's Western dialect was the best, so Kangxi had to admit that learning Western dialect is a must. It takes talent.

"Of course!" Zarafin straightened his chest and said, "If I didn't say a word to those people, wouldn't it look like talking on paper?"

When the two were arguing, several Western warships had already berthed at Tianjin Port. Compared with the warships built by Yinzhen and others when he was the prince, the warships built by the Qing Dynasty were even larger. Big, on the warship, a red cannon suitable for the hull was designed.

The people along the coast did not watch the warships as the Western envoys expected. Beside the warships, there were also several merchant ships from the Jiuye family. Yinzhen was allowed to use the drawings of warships.

However, the tonnage is definitely not comparable to that of warships. Although Yinzhen's merchant fleet is small in tonnage and has fewer muzzles, it is the same tonnage as Western ships.

The people near Tianjin Port are used to the coming and going of warships. In addition to the warships in the military port, the merchant fleet of Yinzhen and others has been haunting the port.

The envoys were required to disembark at the port of Tianjin and change into horse-drawn carriages before they could arrive in Beijing. Except for the 30 guards, the rest of the envoys would be left on the warship and not allowed to disembark. Those who disobeyed the order despised Arrested.

The Qing Dynasty was very stubborn, and the guards in France violated this regulation, and nearly 30 guards were detained. Now, the French envoys are still thinking about how to beg for mercy with Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.

In the Lifan Courtyard, many envoys were inquiring for news. All the families with big surnames received the gifts from the envoys, but no one dared to accept them, and all of them refused.

When Hongli heard the wind, Niu Hulu Lingzhu actually accepted the French envoy's greeting, which made him scratch his head.

"Ah!" Zarafin poked his head out of the door, and watched Hongli take a note, he was in a daze, Gao Wuyong noticed that Hongli had been sitting stiffly for an hour, so he hurried to call her over.

"Jiaojiao." Hongli sighed, with a smile on his face, he waved to her and let her come over.

Zarafin came close to Hongli's side, but not close to Hongli's side.

"Ah, are you in a bad mood?" Zarafin asked curiously.

When the envoys came to congratulate, the Lifan Court was extremely busy, and Hongli was sent to help. In just three days, Hongli didn't go there again.

"Jiaojiao, from today onwards, I can accompany you." Hongli sighed.

"Ah, aren't you going to Li Fanyuan? Why don't you go?" Zarafin picked up the teacup at the side, took a sip of tea, "Why didn't you go today?"

"I won't go in the future, I want to avoid suspicion." Hongli sneered?
Uh uh uh!
Zarafin became confused: "Why do you want to avoid suspicion? Hun, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

When the words fell, Hongli burst into laughter, Zarafin's timid little eyes swept away his heavy heart.

"Jiaojiao, have you heard about the detention of the French guards?" Hongli asked.

"Of course, didn't Ah Hun still talk about it a few days ago?" Zarafin was stunned, how could Hongli ask why he knew it?
"My concubine's Ama received the French envoy's things. The censors participated in my performance yesterday. In order to avoid some troubles, I had no choice but to stop participating." Hongli and Zarafin explained.

Zarafin squeezed Hongli's hand with his little hand, hoping to give him some comfort.

"It's okay, when Tianshen comes back, I can still tell you about the actions of the envoys." Hongli would often tell her the envoys' noisy jokes, so that she could learn more about the outside world.

"Has Tianshen passed away?" Zarafin was hugged by Hongli on his lap, allowing her to see the note just now.

She found that Hongli didn't care at all, and Hongli was very happy that Hongzhou could take over his position.Hong Zhou was finally able to put away his dandies and do things properly.

"Jiaojiao, if Tianshen can handle it well this time, I will let him work more in the future, and stop making such absurd things." Hongli said directly.

Zarafin looked at Hongli in astonishment, Hongzhou was not that absurd, let him see it.

"Ah, how do you know Tianshen's absurdity will be ridiculous?" Zarafin looked confused.

"In the study room, he has done a lot of ridiculous things." Hongli snorted coldly.

In the study room, Hongli asked Gao Wuyong to change a piece of rice paper. He picked up the writing brush on the side and began to write.

"Ah Hun, why did you write this?" Zarafin found that Hongli's comments were on how to deal with Niu Hulu Lingzhu, but Hongli's immature handwriting was a sophisticated way of dealing with it.

"Of course, one of the exam questions Khan Ama gave me was how to deal with it." Hongli had a headache, no matter how to deal with it, it was a bit tricky.

"Ah, I think you're taking it too seriously. No matter what the relationship between Empress Xi and you is, you have to treat Mr. Niu Hulu as your elder. You must pay special attention to it. I think you should plead with Mrs. Niu Hulu. Even better." Zarafin said in a low voice.

Hongli listened to Zarafin's words, thought about it for a while, changed another notebook from the side, and re-wrote his opinions on handling it.

Later, Hongli put down his writing brush and wrote out an opinion on disposal, with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Jiaojiao, I really want to thank you this time!" Hongli kissed her on both sides of the cheek.

"Ah, I've grown up, and you're still like this!" Zarafin said angrily.
