Chapter 183 The Princess Who Struggled to Protect Herself (37)

Xin Zhuyin gritted her teeth and said, "Nothing."

"That's good. I thought I had failed to entertain you properly and made the king angry."

After saying this, Shui Zhizi slowly picked up the teacup and looked at Xin Zhuyou.

"My brother proposed to give some food to Lai every year because he was worried that I would not be able to take care of myself in Lai. So he hoped that everyone in Lai would be more tolerant of me for the sake of food."

Shui Zhizi paused for a moment, looked at Xin Zhuyou with an inexplicable expression, and continued:

“But King You has also seen that I have taken good care of myself and do not need any help from anyone.

Furthermore, the money earned by the fruits and vegetables developed by Dong Meng’s master for Lai State should be enough for Lai State to buy a lot of food, right?

Moreover, I have also said that my people have developed seeds with higher yields, and the food shortage situation in Lai Country should be improved by next year.

After I wrote to my brother to tell him about this, he said he would not send any more food in the future and that he would write to the king to make it clear.

Xin Zhuyou was also shocked. He thought that they would not send gifts this year only, but it turned out that they would not send gifts in the future.

But what Shui Zhizi said was true. Dong Meng and she had done a lot for Lai State.

Moreover, when it comes to something as closely related to the life and death of the people as food, it is best for us to rely on ourselves.

But Xin Zhuyin couldn't accept it at all.

"What did you say? How can you go back on your promise?

Besides, the seeds you are researching have not been planted yet, so who knows whether they will increase production?"

Shui Zhizi glanced at Xin Zhuyin who seemed like he was about to hit someone.

Isn’t it funny that now you know that you can’t go back on your promise made earlier?

Shui Zhizi looked at Xin Zhuyin innocently and said, "I and my brother have said all this. I said that as a human being, you cannot go back on your word.

But my royal brother said in his letter that it was not us, Dong Meng, who broke our promise first, and asked me not to interfere.

I didn't understand what my brother meant before, but now it seems that it's probably because the king was too busy and forgot to write the letter, so my brother misunderstood. "

Shui Zhizi asked herself whether the conditions she had proposed to Laiguo were excessive compared to the benefits Dong Meng had brought to Laiguo.

But Xin Zhuyin was unwilling to do even these simple things, so she could only make Xin Zhuyin remember this lesson for a long time.

“And like His Majesty said, we still don’t know what the seeds from this study will be like.

If the situation is not good, I will have to continue researching it.

If the situation is good, my people can also make the seeds better.

These all cost money, and I have been supported by the dowry given by my royal brother. I am too embarrassed to ask my royal brother for anything more. "

Xin Zhuyin's eyes were about to pop out, and his eyes were so fierce that he looked like he wanted to kill someone.

Shui Zhizi was openly mocking and scolding him.

What does it mean that a human being should not go back on his word, and what does it mean that you are too embarrassed to ask the emperor for anything?

Doesn't it mean that he is not a human being because he doesn't keep his word, and he is still asking Emperor Dongmeng for things with a shameless face?

Yingfu, who had been staring at Xin Zhuyin, rolled his eyes when he saw Xin Zhuyin was about to reach out and hit someone.

"Queen, I'm going to prepare dinner. The snacks that the Sixth Prince just sent over are pretty good. If you're hungry, you can have them first."

Xin Zhuyin's face turned red, and finally he gritted his teeth and took his hand back.

Shui Zhizi saw this and sighed in her heart that the blessing was reliable.

But in front of Xin Zhuyin, she glared at Yingfu.

"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to accept things from other princes, so as not to cause trouble for the king? How do you do things?"

Yingfu immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Queen. It was the Sixth Prince who kept asking me to accept it, saying it was not a valuable item. I'll just take it as a token of my gratitude for your agreement to do business with Yan State."

I thought that compared with what the Queen had done for the Kingdom of Lai, a box of snacks was nothing, so I accepted it. "

Xin Zhuyou, who had been watching all this from the side, had a smile flashing across his eyes in a corner where no one was paying attention.

He was really afraid that the king would really beat Shui Zhizi, but now it seems that neither Shui Zhizi nor the servant are easy to bully.

She can talk about what the king cares about whenever she opens her mouth.

It seemed like he was confessing his crime, but actually he was telling the king that Shui Zhizi had done a lot for the State of Lai, and the Sixth Prince had always wanted to win Shui Zhizi's support. With that being said, how could the king dare to slap her in the face?

“I am the Queen of Lai, and it is my duty to do things for the people of Lai. Why do you have to keep your mouth shut?

If you act on your own again, go back to Dongmeng."

"Please forgive me, Queen. I know I was wrong, and it won't happen again."

"Go out and kneel down. When you wake up, come back."

After Yingfu left, Shui Zhizi said to Xin Zhuyin with an apologetic look: "Yingfu, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that I let the Sixth Prince into the mansion today. After all, the Sixth Prince rushed over to protect me on the day I was assassinated.

I am embarrassed to ask the guards to chase the Sixth Prince away as I did before, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I have nothing else to talk about except some interesting things about Lai State."

Xin Zhuyin wanted to say in a tough tone, "Stop pretending, you are doing this on purpose, you are threatening me."

But Xin Zhuyin, who was afraid of having his throne taken away, had to hold it in. He felt extremely aggrieved, his fists were clenched so tightly, and his teeth chattered whenever he spoke.

He was even thinking now, if he had not let Shui Zhizi marry, and just asked Dong Meng for more gold and silver, he would not feel so aggrieved.

If Shui Zhizi knew what Xin Zhuyin was thinking, she would definitely ask him why he didn't react earlier.

Who is willing to marry? The national strength of Lai is not enough to compare with Dongmeng.

But because of the promise his father had made to Lai State, Dong Meng could not refuse Lai State at all.

If she had a choice, Shui Zhizi would also like to stay in Dongmeng and work directly for her country.

Instead of being like now, always living with a mask, sometimes arrogant, sometimes simple, and sometimes scheming.

Shui Zhizi didn't even know what kind of personality she had.

"Don't see him again. He didn't really protect you."

"Yes."

"Since the food promised by Dong Meng is gone, Queen, please have your people quickly study how Lai Kingdom can avoid food shortages."

"Yes."

Just when Xin Zhuyin was most angry, he also wanted to tell Shui Zhizi that she didn't need to pretend to be kind.

Don't think that Lai State will be defeated without her. They can also study seeds and grains on their own.

But the reality is that most of the capable people in Lai State are busy practicing martial arts and fighting.

No one cares about food.

Moreover, the farming technology in the north has always been inferior to that in the east.

Only the people of Dongmeng could, based on Dongmeng's development experience, research fruits and vegetables that could be grown in the cold country of Lai in just a few months.

In this way, Xin Zhuyin made a trip but didn't solve anything, and instead made Shui Zhizi angry and had a headache.

He finally learned his lesson.
