Chapter 171 The reception banquet
"The one above?"
"The Emperor said that he thinks your level of English is higher than that of the people in the Honglu Temple. You sit up there, and if you come across something they don't know, you can translate for them to avoid being cheated."
Su He: ······
"My English is good? How did he know that? I don't even know."
"The Emperor said that the common phrases communication cards you prepared for the people going out to sea were unanimously approved by everyone."
"And you used so many languages above. The emperor thinks you are knowledgeable, well-educated, and have mastered both Chinese and Western knowledge. You are outstanding~"
"stop."
Su He quickly lowered his voice and stopped Xiao Xiazi from flattering him.
"Is it not okay for me to sit up there?"
Su He was most afraid of others praising her in an unrealistic way, which made her face blush. Her English level was already so low that it was not even close to that of the teacher. That was all thanks to the system search and had nothing to do with her.
Xiao Xiazi chuckled, "Your Majesty, please come in quickly. Her Majesty Hua Guifei will also go up, so you don't have to worry."
"The Emperor has arrived~ Concubine Hua has arrived~"
Nian Shilan walked to Su He, took Su He's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Sister He, I will accompany you, let's sit together."
When Fat Ju saw his concubine biting her ear, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
After getting up there, Su He leaned back in his chair and felt it. Indeed, that feeling.
"Shilan, lean over and feel it, then look down."
The people below were just bowing to Fat Orange, and the two of them happened to experience the feeling of being a court official paying homage.
Su He was immersed in the experience and didn't feel anything was wrong at all. Nian Shilan was also fooled by Su He and had a lot of fun. Pang Ju thought that since the people below didn't notice it, that was all.
I was muttering to myself that these two people were getting bolder and more outrageous. They had no rules to begin with, and now they had come together and were truly lawless.
Just once, just this once. If it happens again, I will chop off both of their heads.
Zhou Ninghai and Song Zhi have been following Concubine Hua all the way, and have always centered their queen around her. Although their queen has restrained herself a lot now, since they learned about what the emperor did to their queen, they have become even more united with her in their hatred of the enemy.
The emperor probably knew that his Shilan knew about the past, but neither of them broke the window paper. So now the relationship between Concubine Hua and the emperor remains in an extremely strange state.
The two people were chatting more and more lively.
"Sister He, did you bring me a gift when you came back?"
"Yeah, not only me, Lingling also brought you a gift."
Nian Shilan then noticed the little boy standing behind Concubine He.
Nian Shilan blinked at him, and Lingling smiled back, revealing a row of small baby teeth.
"Sister, is he the same as that little girl?"
"Yeah, yes. But they seem to be a little different. They all seem to be unable to go out of the space to play. I don't know the specific reason."
"By the way, how are you doing with the things I asked you to do?"
"It's a small matter. The emperor has agreed. As long as the emperor asks, who among us dares not come up and perform a show?"
Su He rubbed his hands excitedly and whispered in Nian Shilan's ear, "It would be great if I could watch such performances three or four times a month."
Year of Shilan: ······
"I haven't rolled my eyes in a long time. You were able to see it once because of Elizabeth. You want to see it three or four times? Your idea is even more unrealistic than my idea of Death Shield."
Su He felt it was a pity. At this moment, a summons came from the hall for the Princess of England and a delegation to come to the emperor for an audience.
This was the first time Su He saw Elizabeth looking so exquisite. The last time might have been because she had been on the ship for many days, and because of the inconvenience in life and the long voyage, she was in a bad mental state.
Now that I see it, it is truly dazzling.
Elizabeth was wearing a gorgeous red puffy skirt, and there were two people following her to hold up her skirt.
Everyone's eyes stayed on Elizabeth for a few moments, then quickly lowered their heads.
"Wow, she is so fair, and in this red dress, she looks even more stunning."
Su He also nodded, "It's really pretty, like a doll."
Nian Shilan was puzzled, "What is a doll?"
"Dolls are their little human-shaped dolls."
Nian Shilan shook her head in disdain, "That's pretty scary. I think stuffed toys are cuter."
"However, I think their clothes are quite nice and daring. The courtiers below you and even the sisters in our harem all look as if they want to see them but dare not."
“It’s indeed pretty, but it’s only gorgeous and not practical. And you don’t know, putting on this dress is very hard. Not only are the steps complicated, but it’s impossible for one person to complete it.
"They will wear a heavy bra inside to restrict the female body shape, with thick padding and heavy crinoline, which will cause great damage to the female spine over a long period of time."
"This dress is nice to look at, but just like foot binding, it is a product created to restrict and objectify women."
"Sister, how do you know so much? Why do you always look at things differently from me? Sister, I feel like I am far behind you~"
The more she interacted with Su He, the more she discovered the gap between them, which was the different perspectives and views on things. She suddenly felt a little lost.
Su He saw through her thoughts and whispered in her ear again, "Do you really feel that you are much different from me, or are you afraid that you are much different from others?"
Nian Shilan did not speak, Su He consoled her: "Don't always think about what you don't have, you can think more about what you do have, why belittle yourself?"
"Hahahaha~~"
A familiar laugh interrupted the two men's distraction.
"Princess, what you said is absolutely right. What are your plans next?"
Su He and Nian Shilan looked at each other, and both saw contempt in each other's eyes.
[Look at Fat Orange's smile. The wrinkles on his face are more numerous than the petals of a chrysanthemum.]
Su He nudged Nian Shilan with his elbow, "Did you hear why the emperor was laughing so happily?"
