Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 709
"Princess, just listen to what the general says and think about the overall situation!"

General Shen was also anxious.

"General Shen, Emperor Yongtai of the Chinese Empire is a friend of this princess, and Master Deng is also a friend of this princess. He led an envoy to our country of Shu. Can't I, the princess, do my best to be a landlord?"

Princess Furong asked coldly.

"Princess, of course you can do your part as a landowner, but..."

General Shen didn't know how to persuade her.

"At that time, I went to Yandi City to seek foreign aid. I was the princess who was received by Lord Deng. Do you want me to be a ruthless and unjust person?"

Princess Furong said with tears in her eyes.

She thought of opening the precious gift Lu Hao gave her last night, and the affectionate letter, and she couldn't let the Chinese Empire's mission leave Shu quietly.

"If my father doesn't want to see Lord Deng, then we will not enter the palace. I want to entertain Lord Deng from the Chinese Empire at Juxian Tower."

Princess Furong settled for the next best thing.

All in all, she was determined to keep Mr. Deng. Even if the two parties could not reach any agreement or sign any treaty, she would still fulfill her loyalty as a landlord.

Princess Furong's deep love and righteousness moved Lu Hao deeply, and at the same time he was filled with emotions.

After all, thousands of miles away from the Chinese Empire, there were still people who remembered his kindness, which made his heart warm.

As for the short-sighted leader of Shu, let him hide in the cracks and survive.

General Shen looked at Princess Furong, picked up Lord Deng and his party, and went to the largest restaurant in the capital of Shu. He had no choice but to gallop his horse and whip straight to the palace.

Although he could not stop Her Highness the Princess, with the king and queen here, he could only report first.

Zhuge Feng, the leader of the Shu Kingdom, suddenly panicked when he learned that Princess Furong was hosting a banquet for the Chinese Empire's envoys.

If this matter reaches the ears of Zhou Lifeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will definitely not let it go.

"My lord, the princess hosted a banquet for the Chinese Empire's envoys. Once this matter reaches the Zhou Dynasty, some people with ulterior motives will definitely add fuel to the fire. The situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Prime Minister Zhang Peixian said in a deep voice.

"What now? What on earth are we going to do?"

Zhuge Feng was so anxious that he was spinning around.

"My lord, since the matter has come to this, why don't you go out and see Mr. Deng in person? If you can get the support of the Chinese Empire, the Zhou Dynasty will not dare to attack us randomly."

Prime Minister Zhang Peixian spoke loudly.

"Get the support of the Chinese Empire? Is this possible? Besides, they are thousands of miles away from us. If we want to send troops, it will not be that simple."

Zhuge Feng said with a crying face.

"But if you don't see the Chinese Empire's mission, you won't get their support and you will be jealous of the Zhou Dynasty, which will be even more disadvantageous for us."

The Prime Minister, Zhang Peixian, does have some brains.

"You are right. Now that this matter has reached this point, we can only choose one side. Since the Chinese Empire is so powerful, it may not be completely right for us to choose them, but it is better than choosing nothing at all."

Zhuge Feng made up his mind.

"My lord, if the Zhou Dynasty sends troops to attack our Shu Kingdom in anger, it will be very dangerous. Even if the Chinese Empire wants to send troops, it will not be able to kill them in three or two days."

General Shen held a different opinion.

"General Shen, you don't have to worry about so much now. Once the Chinese Empire's mission leaves, the Zhou Dynasty will still wonder whether the princess was authorized by the king to receive the mission."

Prime Minister Zhang Peixian continued to persuade.

As the prime minister of the Shu Kingdom, Zhang Peixian is not a loser. The last time he asked the princess to get married in exchange for help from the Great Yan Empire, it was his idea.

In fact, if such a small country wants to survive, it must rely on a large empire. This time, he placed his treasure on the Chinese Empire.

"General Shen, lead the way, we are going to meet the Chinese Empire's envoy."

Zhuge Feng finally made up his mind.

The group of people headed towards the restaurant in a mighty manner. The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and the Zhou Dynasty naturally got the news.

When Zhou Lifeng heard the news, he was like a madman, shouting that he would send troops to attack Shu, but he was restrained by the king of the dynasty.

Princess Furong is determined to make good friends with the Chinese Empire, because she has seen the power of the empire with her own eyes, and she still misses Lu Hao.When the restaurant learned that the princess was treating guests, it immediately started to get busy. It even put up a sign that the restaurant was reserved for today and would not accept outside guests.

In fact, Shu's economy is now on the verge of collapse. Even if the Zhou Dynasty does not attack Shu, its economy will not last long.

The business of this restaurant was not good at first, but now that the princess came to book the restaurant, the boss was very happy.

"I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for your warm hospitality!"

Master Deng was deeply moved.

After going through all kinds of hardships as envoys to the Western Regions, not only were they disliked by others, but some people also ambushed and intercepted them. Princess Furong, who could treat them as friends, undoubtedly won the favor of Lord Deng.

Of course, all this is for Lu Hao's sake, and the relationship between the two is not that simple.

"Master Deng, you are so polite. I still want to ask about Emperor Yongtai's situation?"

Princess Furong asked with a smile.

"Emperor Yongtai, with his great talent and strategy, destroyed the Eastern Turks, wiped out the Chimir Grasslands in the north, and incorporated these lands into the empire's territory..."

Mr. Deng spoke eloquently, and every piece of it is enough to be recorded in the annals of history.

"Master Deng, please bring a message to Emperor Yongtai, saying that this princess misses him very much."

Princess Furong did not hide anything and spoke out boldly, but her face turned red with embarrassment.

"I will definitely bring it to you."

Master Deng responded seriously.

"My father does not dare to offend the Zhou Dynasty. Please don't be angry, Mr. Deng. After dinner, this princess will go to the palace to see my father."

Princess Furong means to beg her father again.

"That's not necessary. We are already very grateful to Her Highness the Princess for her hospitality."

Mr. Deng expresses his sincere thanks.

"No! If my father doesn't see you, this princess will have enough trouble with him!"

Princess Furong is quite courageous.

"Who do you think you want to make trouble with?"

A loud voice came from outside the door.

"The king is here!"

General Shen's voice came in at the right time.

"Father, are you here?"

Princess Furong was extremely excited.

"If I don't come, why don't you make the palace miserable?"

Zhuge Feng smiled happily and strode in.

When Princess Furong saw that it was her father, she immediately felt embarrassed and blushed.

"Meet the king!"

Lord Deng and the others quickly bowed and saluted.

"I'm too busy with national affairs, so I'm a bit neglectful of all the gentlemen. I'm really sorry, so please don't be too polite."

Zhuge Feng found a very frustrating excuse.

"The Lord is so kind. It's already good to have a princess entertain us."

Lord Deng can also speak.

"Yes, yes, the princess entertains all the envoys on behalf of me..."

Zhuge Feng walked down the steps, everyone knew it.
