The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional.
Zhao Ziliang's words made Charlie's face turn cold.
He raised his hand: "Angelo Bertes, please retreat first.
You are no longer needed here."
Angelibertes opened his mouth and found Gisla winking at him.
He gritted his teeth and saluted Charlie before exiting the restaurant.
Queen Mother Beltrada smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, let's continue to eat, don't let some boring things and people disturb our interest."
Everyone then returned to their original position and continued eating.
However, the Queen Mother's words made the third princess Gisla feel a little unhappy.
King Charles munched on the barbecue and asked: "Prince Yunge, I forgot to ask you in the political hall this morning, what is the main purpose of your mission to our country this time?"
Zhao Ziliang stopped his knife and fork and said seriously: "Of course it is to establish normal diplomatic relations between our two countries and strengthen cultural exchanges and commercial exchanges between our two countries.
In recent years, only sporadic oriental caravans have come here.
There is almost no cultural contact.
Our country just hopes that we will increase contact and exchanges in these two aspects, because it will be beneficial to both of us.
In the past, caravans had to pass through the sphere of influence of the Eastern Roman Empire to come here, but Now both of us can We can have direct dialogue without being constrained by the Eastern Roman Empire and other forces.
I think this is an improvement.
Our caravans can directly cross the Mediterranean to reach the southeastern coastal ports of your country, and the official representatives sent by your country, Caravans, literati, artists and other civil groups can use this channel to travel to our country, but this requires the permission of His Majesty the King.
As a king who created an unprecedented prosperous situation in the Frankish Kingdom, I believe that His Majesty has such long-term vision and wisdom. " Charlie smiled and said: "Don't be too busy saying nice things.
What are the benefits of doing this to the French Kingdom?
Even if I agree, only your Western Qin caravans will come here to do business, and we Franks rarely can go to Western Qin to do business.
You have made all our money, but we cannot make your money.”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I understand your thoughts.
Maybe you haven't understood the potential and actual wealth of the Frankish Kingdom.
Compared to our Western Qin, the Frankish Kingdom is indeed inferior in terms of product manufacturing.
Quite a few, but this does not prevent Flan The Kingdom of Croatia can also make money.
For example, you have a vast territory and plant a lot of flax, wheat, and grapes; you also have minerals and many other specialties, which we need, and you also need our commodities.
There is a prerequisite for trade exchanges.”
"As for cultural exchanges, let me give you an example.
You like to listen to songs and recitations while dining.
You like to watch dramas.
This is a spiritual pursuit.
Don't you want to listen to our songs, poems and poems from the Western Qin Dynasty?
For drama, if our Western Qin drama troupe, poets, etc. come here, you and the Frankish people can enjoy a different audio-visual feast, isn't it?
This is also one of the aspects of cultural exchanges."
After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, Charlie weighed it and agreed: "Okay, you have convinced me.
I will send a special official to talk to you about this matter."
After dinner, Princess Herodrut left first, while others stayed to eat desserts.
Only the nobles of the royal palace could eat these things.
Ordinary people could not even provide food and clothing, so how could they eat them?
dessert The Frankish Kingdom was influenced by Roman culture in its cultural life, especially the upper class.
Roman culture was reflected in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Germanic habits were gradually disappearing.
In terms of diet, using knives and forks, drinking red wine, wearing Roman robes, etc. are all copying the Romans' eating habits.
This is the credit of the church priests.
They also brought these things to the Germanic people while preaching.
All classes.

It was slightly better among the people, but generally speaking, the entire Western world was increasingly influenced by Christ, and Christ's influence became more and more profound, but there were only a few real Romans in the Frankish Kingdom.
The current Frankish Kingdom is generally divided into three classes: the highest ruling class is the Franks among the Germans, mainly members of the royal family, feudal nobles, priests, officials of the kingdom, senior generals, and middle-level officers; the middle class is mainly Germanic Other tribes mainly serve as grassroots officials, grassroots officers and soldiers; the lowest level is the original resident Gauls, and the vast majority are also Gauls.
After finishing the dessert, Charlie called Zhao Ziliang into the study for a chat before ending the palace trip.
Then Zhao Ziliang walked out of the palace under the leadership of the waiter.
When passing a palace, Zhao Ziliang saw a woman spinning and weaving in a window.
He couldn't help but stopped and looked at it curiously.
When the waiter saw this, he said: "This is the eldest princess spinning and weaving.
She is weaving."
Their craftsmanship is excellent, they are durable and the clothes they make are beautiful. ” Zhao Ziliang said curiously: "Princess also spins and weaves."
The waiter smiled and said: "Of course, His Majesty the King loves his children very much, especially in terms of education.
He not only allows them to study literature and art, but also allows the princes to learn to ride horses when they reach the appropriate age, and trains them to use weapons and hunt. , let the princesses learn Learn textile technology, operate shuttles and thread rods to prevent them from being idle and lazy, so that they can develop noble qualities.
But you also know that princesses are delicate after all.
It was okay to do it when they were young.
Now only the princesses can persist.
Princess Herod Rut” As the two of them walked out of the palace gate, the waiter introduced to Zhao Ziliang: "The eldest princess is a person with both literary talent and virtue.
Her poems have been praised by many poets and scholars, and she is deeply loved by His Majesty.
The clothes she cuts with her own hands are in high demand among nobles and women of the common people.”
"Actually, the princess's heart is very bitter.
She once liked a man, and they loved each other, but His Majesty the King thought that man was not worthy of his princess.
He had decided to marry her to the emperor of the Greeks.
That man The man was greatly stimulated and chose to join the army to fight against the Saxons and Slavs. , the emperor of the Greeks broke off the engagement.
In the eyes of others, the eldest princess had suffered a great shame and humiliation, but the eldest princess herself did not care at all.
She was even secretly happy.
She thought she would have another chance to be with her beloved, but very soon Bad news came from the front line.
Her sweetheart disappeared during the battle with the Saxons.
The army was at the front line.
After searching for a long time, he could not be found.
The general on the front line sent a message saying that the possibility of his survival was almost zero.
This incident was a great blow to the eldest princess.
She did not step out of the door for three months.
They all became taciturn, rarely even having contact with other men, and rarely attending meetings with His Majesty the King, the Queen and other A banquet held by noble ministers.
It is said that the eldest princess once told some people on a private occasion that she would always wait for her sweetheart to come back.
But five years later, she still has not waited for her sweetheart to come back.
People are She said that if he was still alive, he would definitely have come back long ago and would not wait until now, but she still refused to give up."
A few days later, the weather improved and the temperature warmed up.
Zhao Ziliang took a few people to go for an outing to the Luce Mountain north of the center of Aachen.
The Luce Mountain has the legend of the devil and is also a beautiful place, so it is visited every early spring.
Many young aristocratic youths and ladies from Aachen came for an outing.
On the path leading to the top of the mountain, young men and women in twos and threes were walking up to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Ziliang attracted a lot of people's attention with his oriental faces.
The air on the top of the mountain is fresh, the view is wide, and the whole person feels relaxed.
The bronze statue of the devil and the peasant woman is erected on the top of the mountain, and many people are hanging out under the bronze statue.
Zhao Ziliang saw a familiar figure on the top of the mountain, raised his hand and shouted: "Herodrut" Several palace guards who were secretly protecting Herodrut were about to stop Zhao Ziliang, but when they saw Herodrut showing a smile when he looked at Zhao Ziliang, they stopped and put down the hand holding the weapon on his waist.
"What a coincidence, I met Her Royal Highness here."
Zhao Ziliang walked over to say hello.

Herodrut also smiled and said: "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Yunge is already somewhat familiar with the city of Aachen.
He actually knows about Luce Mountain and even comes here to visit."
"Of course" Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "You know there are very few Easterners who come to Aachen.
When I come into contact with people here, they all look at me like a monster to see how I am different from them. " Herod Rudd smiled: "You are a very special person."
"Really, do you know monkeys?"
"Of course" Herodrut replied, suppressing a smile.
Zhao Ziliang said: "They look at me like a monkey.
You know I am not a monkey.
Maybe in their eyes, a handsome person like me is an ugly monster in their eyes.
Someone must have said to others, look, this Oriental He looks really ugly.”
"Pfft."
Herodrut couldn't help laughing any longer.
She giggled and said, "Yes, you, the handsome prince of Western Qin, are so ugly in the eyes of many Franks.
That's because they have never I have never seen an Oriental.
The appearance of an Oriental conflicts with the education and aesthetics they have received.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of an Oriental will make them very uncomfortable, and that is why they feel this way."
Zhao Ziliang asked with a serious look: "Then Princess, do you think I am handsome or ugly?"
"Of course it's ugly," Herodrut said, covering his mouth and laughing.
Zhao Ziliang looked sad: "This is really terrible":
