An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1306 Know Both Yourself And Your Enemy

The notice about the Wanshou Festival had been posted, and there were more and more people

gathering in the Jin City.

Hearing Qian Yin's report, Yun Shang had made up her mind not to leave the palace.

"Many vendors and people from all over the country gathered in the Jin city. It's hard to guarantee that

no one will take the advantage to do something bad. I'd better not go out of the palace at this time. "

"Don't your majesty go out and have a look? I've heard that many acrobatics troupes have entered the

city, and there are many new performances that we've never seen before. "

"No." Yun Shang shook her head and said, "I won't go out."

Now there was a shortage of secret guards. Every time she went out of the palace, more secret guards

had to protect her secretly than usual. She didn't want to add more burden to the secret guards.

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Qian Zhuo stopped persuading her.

In the afternoon, Luo Qingyan asked someone to bring a box of items.

"These are colorful glazed jewelry. They look especially beautiful in the sun."

"This is the fabric. It's similar to the gauze fabric here, but the pattern is more complicated and not so

soft."

Yun Shang looked at them with curiosity. "What's this?"

"Is the doll more exquisite and interesting than those we have seen before?"

Yun Shang nodded, "I haven't seen these things before. Where did they come from?"

Liu Wenan smiled and said, "Some other countries sent messengers to celebrate his majesty's

birthday."

"Some other countries?"

Liu Wenan nodded and said, "They said they came from the other side of the sea. The country is called

the Sate of Youyue. And the other is called the Sate of Yihai. They had done business in Deer City

before. They heard that his majesty's birthday is coming, so they came to the Jin City to celebrate his

majesty's birthday and strength the relations between their countries and the Sate of Xia."

Hearing Liu Wenan mention Deer City, Yun Shang couldn't help but raise her head. "Shouldn't their

countries send some royal members or ministers to celebrate the birthday of his majesty and strength

the relations between their countries and the Sate of Xia? They are from trade teams? "

Liu Wenan didn't expect that Yun Shang would ask the key at once. He just smiled and said, "Yes. It is

said that the royal family of their country are interested in some special products of the State of Xia, so

they specially came with the trade teams to see if there are anything they don't have in their countries. "

Although Liu Wenan said so, Yun Shang didn't believe it at all.

Most of the royal members were living a comfortable life, how could they come all the way to the State

of Xia just to see some special products in another country?

She was afraid that only they themselves would believe it.

"They are already in the Jin City? Where did they settle down? "

"Yes, they've arrived at the Jin City, and settled down in the post." Liu Wenan replied and added,

"Among the royal envoys sent by the two countries, there are also female members. They didn't bring

them when they came to visit his majesty. They said that they would bring them to the palace to visit

your majesty in two days."

Yun Shang put her hands in her sleeves and nodded, "I see." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

After Liu Wenan left, Yun Shang asked servants to put all the things into the storehouse.

"These things are what we have never seen before. They look very interesting. Don't your majety leave

some? Put them all in the storehouse? "

Yun Shang smiled, "We haven't seen each other before, but they are familiar with them. So it's easy for

them to do something on it, but we can't detect it easily."

Qian Zhuo thought Yun Shang's words made sense. She nodded slightly and said, "It seems so. I'll ask

someone to put all the things in the storehouse."

Yun Shang nodded. After a moment's silence, she said, "Give me the list of things in the storehouse by

the way."

Qian Yin nodded and took the things away. Soon she came in with four pamphlets.

"Here is the list of items in our storehouse."

Yun Shang nodded and took it over.

"Your majesty, are you looking for something?"

"Yes." Yun Shang nodded carelessly, "You heard it just now. Master Liu said that the envoys of the two

countries would bring the female members to the palace in two days. Since I received so many gifts

today, I should prepare some gifts for them."

Yun Shang frowned and said, "But I don't know what's in the storehouse. And I don't know which of

these things the two countries have and which they don't have."

Qian Zhuo didn't know either. She blinked and said, "Your majesty, why don't you ask his majesty later?

Maybe his majesty knows it. "

Yun Shang nodded. She didn't mean to ask Luo Qingyan about it, but she didn't find anything suitable

after reading the list for a long time. When Luo Qingyan came in the evening, Yun Shang told him

about it.

"I've asked the officials in Deer City and Yunzhou City about it. They said that the trade groups of the

countries across the coast bought things such as silk, porcelain, tea and embroidery. Maybe those

countries don't have these things."

Yun Shang nodded, "Okay, I'll prepare these things."

Yun Shang thought to herself that it was difficult to do something on the porcelain, but it was easy on

silk or embroidery.

However, a simple method like poisoning couldn't be used.

And now she didn't know what the purpose of the people sent by the two countries was. She had to

think carefully and make good preparations.

Seeing that Yun Shang was in a daze, Luo Qingyan waved his hand in front of Yun Shang and asked,

"What are you thinking about, my lady?"

Yun Shang shook her head with a smile, "Nothing. I think the trade groups of the two countries have

also purchased a lot of things in the Yunzhou City and Deer City, but the tribute from the palace is the

best things in all parts of the country. They should not have such things. This is a business opportunity."

Luo Qingyan chuckled, "Your ladyship is getting more and more interested in doing business."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I think it's a way to make money."

After saying that, Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan with her bright eyes, "You said there were trade

groups of other countries coming to our country to purchase goods. Then, are there trade groups of the

State of Xia bringing our goods to those countries to sell? Do they buy the things there at a low price

and take them back to sell in the State of Xia? "

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does your majesty want to send trade groups to other

countries?"

"Why not?" Yun Shang's eyes lit up. "We can do business and get to know other countries at the same

time. Know yourself, know your enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories."
