Chapter 339 The Fat Concubine is Extremely Talented; She Speaks 8 Languages (9)
The young empress stared at Su Dingding, her expression unchanged.
Princess Qi is right no matter what she does!
These were the words that Xiao Fuzi had instructed her to say.
No matter what happens today, she will stick to one principle: to fully support Princess Qi!
Su Dingding lifted the Yue envoy and slammed him to the ground, where he sank completely, with only one foot sticking out.
The envoys from the other smaller countries were terrified. The envoy from the Shu Kingdom stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, are you really going to tolerate Princess Qi and allow her to bully the envoys from the Yue Kingdom at will?"
The little empress pretended not to understand and clapped her hands.
"I am very satisfied with the performance of the Yue envoy and my royal aunt in creating a hole on the spot. I hereby reward them!"
The envoy from the Southern Kingdom of Shu was taken aback. How could they be performing a show?
It was clearly the Yue envoy who was beaten, but the young empress is trying to protect Princess Qi!
"A reward for the Empress Dowager: one thousand taels of silver, a pair of jade ruyi scepters, a pair of glass vases, and a string of fine pearls and agate beads..."
"To reward the Yue envoy..." the young empress said after a moment's thought, "a single cell, a chain, a pair of shackles, a set of prison clothes, and two guards!"
The other envoys all sensed something was wrong upon hearing this.
What do you mean?
Isn't this just throwing him into jail?
The Yue envoy was dragged out of the pit and taken away by two guards.
Su Dingding looked at the little empress; this little girl was indeed lovable.
She placed her hands on her hips and looked at the envoys from the other small countries, "I wonder what kind of century-old tribute you have brought to our Empress of Da'ao this time?"
The envoys from several small countries began to whisper among themselves.
Their voices were low, and they spoke in the languages of their small country.
The young empress sat there, still silent.
Xiao Fuzi said that she didn't need to do anything, she just needed to follow in Princess Qi's footsteps!
Although I don't know exactly what the envoy did to offend Princess Qi, it was definitely the Yue envoy who was in the wrong.
Su Dingding listened to their discussion with a cold expression.
They really didn't take the young empress seriously; even the tributes were perfunctory.
They even dared to call her a stupid fat pig in private. I really wanted to give them a way out, but they insisted on walking into a dead end!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Su Dingding slapped all the envoys across the face in a whirlwind.
Several envoys were struck by her, causing blood to spurt from their noses and mouths.
Several thinner ones were sent flying, covering their faces and staring at her in astonishment.
"Princess Consort Qi, this is going too far!"
"I am an envoy from Cheyin Kingdom. Hitting me is tantamount to hitting our king!"
Su Dingding let out a cold laugh, "Don't you know why I hit you?"
The envoys glared at Su Dingding, their heads held high.
Su Dingding reached out and pulled out the envoy from Cheyin Kingdom, saying, "Speak in my Da'ao language, about the great gift your Cheyin Kingdom has brought!"
"I can only speak my own language, Cheyin!" the Cheyin envoy retorted.
Su Dingding slapped him again, then kicked him to his knees.
Just as they were about to fight again, the envoy from Cheyin Kingdom immediately began speaking in the Da'ao language, "Princess Qi, our Cheyin Kingdom is offering tribute of one hundred fine horses, ten thousand taels of gold, and one hundred bolts of silk..."
After saying that, he covered his slapped face and stole a glance at Su Dingding. Seeing that her gaze was still sharp, he quickly added, "And there's more..."
He wasn't really making any plans. Several small countries had already secretly agreed that their purpose in coming to Da'ao was to humiliate the young empress, test Da'ao's strength, and prepare for dividing Da'ao in the future.
As a result, upon arriving here, he was humiliated by Princess Qi, who nearly beat him to a pulp.
If they don't get serious soon, they might die here.
"Very well, envoy from Cheyin Kingdom, please take a seat," the young empress said with a smile. "Here is a bunch of crystal grapes for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The envoy from Cheyin Kingdom sat down with a pout, looking at the crystal grapes brought by the palace maid.
Their country, Cheyin, is famous for its crystal grapes. I never expected that after arriving in Da'ao, I would have to eat this stuff!
The envoys from the other smaller countries exchanged glances and then stepped forward to present their respective tributes.
In particular, the Kingdom of Su Liu heard that the young empress lived and ate with a dog, so this time they specially prepared a hundred dogs, as well as meat and bones for the dogs to eat.
Now it seems that Consort Qi will probably dislike these things and might even kill them all.
So the envoy from Suliu Kingdom also began to boast, saying that although the item he was talking about did not exist yet, he would send a message back and it should be delivered soon.
The young empress was very satisfied. She would make good use of the gifts from these small countries and vassal states, recruiting soldiers and buying up grain, so that she could bring them under her control.
Finally, Su Dingding, in his capacity as the city lord of Yuncheng, also presented many fine items as tribute.
The envoys from the other small countries were shocked. The tribute from a city lord was more extravagant than that from their own countries, making them lose face.
After the banquet, all the envoys were kept behind; none of them could leave until their names on the list of those to present a gift were served.
Su Dingding also stayed in the capital for a month.
The young empress even made a special trip to the palace to see her.
That night, the young empress and Su Dingding discussed state affairs, and Su Dingding discovered that she was actually very talented and ambitious at such a young age.
"Little Fu has found me more than a dozen talented generals. I would like to ask my royal aunt to train them carefully. When the time is right, we will divide our forces into seven routes and head to the Southern Shu Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom respectively..."
The young empress stood on a stool and explained her battle plan, then looked at Su Dingding, "Royal Aunt, what do you think?"
“My Yuncheng is adjacent to three kingdoms. We can conquer it first, and then divide our forces into three routes to cut off the connections between the seven kingdoms. We can then launch a coordinated attack from within and without, catching them off guard!” Su Dingding said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Imperial Aunt!" The young empress knelt down and kowtowed to Su Dingding.
"To unify the country at the age of seven, one can be remembered for eternity." Su Dingding helped her up.
"If it weren't for Xiao Fuzi, I probably would have died countless times already." The little empress looked at Su Dingding and asked, "I guess my royal aunt sent it to help me?"
"It's because you're such a lovable child that you're so lucky," Su Dingding smiled.
"Linglong kowtows to thank her Imperial Aunt!" The little empress kowtowed again respectfully.
If Princess Qi is Xiao Fuzi's master, then it is clear that Princess Qi is no ordinary person.
With her protection, Da'ao will be worry-free for a hundred years!
Su Dingding prepared to return to Yuncheng, while Gangzi remained in Beijing.
After the envoys from several small countries fulfilled their gifts, they were all hypnotized by Gangzi and returned to their respective countries in a grand procession.
Upon hearing that Princess Qi had single-handedly caused harm to so many countries, they all made a decision.
They dispatched their most skilled assassins to Yuncheng to kill Su Dingding!
This is good news for Su Dingding.
After all, the stronger a person's malevolent aura, the more energy they can bestow upon her.
The more the merrier!
A few months later, Su Dingding mobilized the forces of Yuncheng and took back the three surrounding vassal states.
Then he personally led troops to support Da'ao in recovering other small countries.
Gangzi, with a mad dog ribbon tied around his head, rode a tall horse and went completely berserk!
