Zhen Jian said with a serious face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you need to know that once you leave the palace, you will become an ordinary person, there is no brocade clothes and jade food, there is no palace with carved beams and paintings, there is no clothes to stretch out your hands and eat to open your mouth, you must choose carefully, in this world, there is no regret medicine." ” "I don't regret it."
Princess Kira said with a firm face, "Although this palace is gorgeous, it is like a big cage, I have been locked up here for seventeen years, and I want to go out and have a look." ” "Okay."
Zhen Jian nodded vigorously, "Since this is the case, then it will be set the day after tomorrow, and His Royal Highness King Qi will come down to pick up the princess out of the palace." ” As he spoke, he took out a thing wrapped in lotus leaves from his arms, handed it to the princess, and said, "This is a prop for disguise, I will teach you to use it now, and you can use it when you leave the palace." ” "Thank you."
The princess took it and slowly opened it, only to see some cosmetics inside, and some strange things, such as fake noses, fake beards, etc.
Zhen Jian asked the princess to sit in front of the dresser and dress up the princess in person, because it was not too exquisite, the time for half a pillar of incense was completed, it was quite simple, Zhen Jian asked the princess: "Have you learned?"
” "Got it."
The princess nodded, picked up the bronze mirror and took a photo, and sure enough, her appearance changed greatly, and she turned into a bearded man.
Zhen Jiandao: "You have time to learn more about men's walking, you must not show your feet in your walking posture, there is only one opportunity, you must cherish it." ” "Don't worry."
The princess nodded vigorously, "I will definitely take advantage of this opportunity." ” "That's good."
Zhen Jiandao, "I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." ” King Qi also said: "Sister Huang, we have to go, otherwise the palace gate will be keyed." ” "Well, go ahead."
Princess Kira smiled and waved them away.
As soon as they left, Princess Kira hurried to find a basin of water to wash off the makeup on her face, so as not to be seen, and she had to be extremely cautious in order to escape from the palace.
As soon as he left the imperial city, King Qi asked Zhen Jian: "Zhen Jian, why do you have to wait until your father acts tomorrow morning, you also know that my father will meet with the envoys of the two countries tomorrow morning and promise them to marry the princess. ” Zhen Jian smiled lightly: "I have a backhand, you don't have to worry." ” King Qi nodded when he heard this, and smiled heartlessly: "Then I will wait for my father's board." ” "You have to hold back."
Zhen Jian smiled and sighed loudly, "Okay, I still have to help the princess arrange a place to go, let's leave it at that." ” "Well, go ahead, be careful."
The two were separated.
Early the next morning, Zhen Jian waited outside the Honglu Temple, and when Yin, the emperor arrived on time, and sure enough, wearing a civilian dress, Zhen Jian took the emperor into the Honglu Temple, went straight to the protocol, and went to the place where the envoy of the Jiaozhi State lived.
Seeing Chen Zaixian, the prince of Jiaozhi Kingdom, Chen Zaixian didn't know the identity of the emperor, and asked Zhen Jian with a smile: "Zhen Siqing, can you give me a good word to the emperor for me?"
” Zhen Jian coughed embarrassedly, and said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, let me introduce to you, the person in front of you is our Son of Heaven!"
” "Huh?"
Chen Zaixian looked at the emperor with a bewildered expression.
The emperor smiled indifferently and slowly stroked his beard and said, "Prince Chen, hello." ” Chen Zaixian hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Chen Zaixian, the prince of Jiaozhi, pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu." ” "Excuse me."
The Emperor came to the throne and sat down, spread his hands, and said, "You two sit down." ” Zhen Jian and Chen Zaixian both sat down in the guest seats.
The emperor got straight to the point and said, "Prince Chen, I heard that the rice yield in your Jiaozhi country is very good?"
” Chen Zaixian thought he was talking to him, so he smiled and said modestly: "It's okay." ” "Huh?"
Hearing this, the emperor looked at Zhen Jian suspiciously.
Zhen Jian hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, don't be modest, you can tell the emperor truthfully how much rice you yield per mu." ” When Prince Chen saw Zhen Jian say this, he immediately realized that this matter was very important, so he didn't dare to be humble anymore, and said truthfully: "The rice in our Jiaozhi country, if it is carefully cared for, has a production capacity of 300 catties per mu. ” The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how many seasons of rice can you grow in a year?"
” Prince Chen said: "The rice in our Jiaozhi country grows relatively fast, and it can grow three crops a year, also known as three crops of rice. ” The emperor forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said with a tiger face: "Prince Chen, you don't have to deceive me, otherwise it will be a big crime, and when the time comes, your lies will only bring disaster to your lies!"
” "I didn't deceive the emperor!"
Chen Zaixian was so shocked that he hurriedly got up, bowed his hand to the emperor, and said, "Everything I said is the truth. ” The Emperor nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "Do you want to marry my daughter?"
” "Back to the emperor, yes!"
Chen Zaixian said respectfully, "Our Jiaozhi country has always been proud to be able to marry the princess of Dachu. ” The emperor didn't say much, just said lightly: "I came to see you today, only the three of us know, if the fourth person knows, I won't spare you!"
” "Yes!"
Chen Zaixian hurriedly bowed his head, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.
The emperor slowly got up and beckoned to Zhen Jian, who walked up to him.
The emperor said: "I will return to the palace first, and the rest will be handed over to you." ” Zhen Jian smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The ministers are doing things, the emperor can rest assured." ” The Emperor nodded in satisfaction and left.
Seeing that the emperor had left Chen Zaixian, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although the national strength of the Chu State was declining day by day, it was still much stronger than the Jiaozhi State, and Chen Zaixian felt pressure in front of the Emperor of the Chu State.
Zhen Jian slowly walked in front of Chen Zaixian and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the prince." ” Chen Zaixian asked suspiciously: "What is there to congratulate?"
” Zhen Jiandao: "The emperor has promised to marry the princess to you." ” "Really?"
Chen Zaixian shouted in surprise when he heard this.
Zhen Jian made a gesture of silence, Chen Zaixian hurriedly covered his mouth, and then asked in a low voice, "Is what you said true?"
” "Of course it's true."
Zhen Jian smiled lightly, "However, Your Royal Highness, you need to come up with a decent dowry." ” Chen Zaixian was surprised when he heard this: "My dowry is already a lot. ” Zhen Jian shook his head and smiled: "What we want is not gold and silver. ” Chen Zaixian was a little stunned for a while.
Zhen Jian felt that his wisdom was a little low, so he said directly, "What we want is food, a lot of food." ” Hearing this, Chen Zaixian hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll immediately pass a letter to my father and ask him to send 100,000 stone of grain." ” "No, no, no......"
Zhen Jian waved his hand and said, "We have a saying in Da Chu, which is called that it is better to give a fish than to give it a fish." ” "Huh?"
Although Chen Zaixian was no stranger to Da Chu's language, when he heard this sentence, he felt very tongue-twisting, and he didn't understand what he meant at all.

Zhen Jiandao: "It means that it is better to teach him how to fish than to send fish to help others." ” "Sending fish?
Catch fish?
Chen Zaixian muttered for a moment, and suddenly suddenly realized, "You mean, let me use rice seeds as a dowry?"
” "The prince has finally come to his senses."
Zhen Jian grinned and said, "It's really a waste of energy for you, if you want to marry a princess, you need 10,000 catties of excellent rice seeds as a dowry, otherwise you don't need to talk about it." ” "No problem!"
Chen Zaixian didn't say a word, patted his chest and said, "Our Jiaozhi country and Da Chu have always had a good relationship, Da Chu is strong, and it is good for us, I know, you Da Chu has a saying called cold lips and teeth." ” Zhen Jian laughed when he heard this: "His Royal Highness the Prince really impressed Zhen, and even understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, that's right, the Xiongnu and the Liang State have always been fierce and belligerent, if our Great Chu is defeated by the Xiongnu or the Liang State, next, you Jiaozhi State is afraid that it will also suffer." ” "Yes."
Chen Zaixian nodded and said, "The most important thing in fighting a war is armor and food, so I hope that Da Chu can be well, so that our Jiaozhi country will be fine, Da Chu is very friendly, I like it very much." ” Zhen Jian couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard this, it turned out to be a foreign friend, oops, he was a little embarrassed to pit him like this, but ......
I'm going to cheat you, what's the matter, come and beat me......
Zhen Jian took out a folded piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Chen Zaixian, and said, "The prince put it away, memorize all the poems on it, and then burn it." ” Chen Zaixian took the paper in a daze, unfolded it and looked at it, sure enough, there were some poems written on it, he looked at Zhen Jian suspiciously, and asked, "What's the use?"
” Zhen Jian smiled secretly and said, "If you want to marry a princess, you must memorize it, and you must not make a mistake, otherwise you won't be able to marry a princess." ” "Oh, that's important."
Chen Zaixian hurriedly folded the paper carefully and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely memorize it all." ” Zhen Jiandao: "Tomorrow morning, the emperor will receive the envoys of your two countries, you should prepare well." ” "Okay, thank you, thank you very much."
Chen Zaixian saluted Zhen Jian again and again.
Zhen Jian smiled lightly and waved his hand: "It's okay, my bad habit of helping others can't be changed." ” In fact, he was secretly thinking in his heart: "I like to cheat people, and I can't change it for the rest of my life." ”
