Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 1336: A Strong Dragon Doesn’t Fight a Local Snake

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Lord Shao is absolutely correct; this is a specialty of Great Qin!”

“Indeed, Great Qin boasts an array of remarkable dishes.”

“Ah, you folks simply lack the culinary enlightenment to appreciate it!”

“Of course!”

“….”

The officials remained gracious and extended warm hospitality to the Qingdi diplomatic delegation, fearing any displeasure or discomfort on their part. However, they were taken aback by the excessive politeness displayed by Qingdi and the barbarians, which went beyond their expectations. In response, they couldn’t help but react with mockery and jest.

Fueled by their frustration, they vented their displeasure freely.

The Qingdi diplomatic delegation, hearing these comments, found themselves torn between anger and frustration. This treatment was a world apart from what they had encountered earlier. The contrast was palpable, and the feelings of disparity were evident.

But what could they do?

A mighty dragon had no reason to contend with a local serpent!

To Great Qin, they were neither mighty dragons nor local despots; they were merely barbarians who dared to open a dye shop.

Their own amusement was all that mattered to Great Qin.

Shao Yunduan maintained his genial smile. “Prince Nuo Nuo, Vice Envoy Da Si, shall we present the third dish now?”

All eyes turned expectantly to Shao Yunduan, brimming with anticipation and excitement.

By this point, it was clear to everyone present:

The Eastern Palace had come prepared.

He had devised a solution in his mind, but he chose to keep it to himself for now.

Yet, this situation had its merits. It would serve as a grand surprise for Qingdi and the other detractors, allowing them to experience the sensation of falling from arrogance.

Who were they to be so ungracious?

Nonetheless, this wasn’t the usual demeanor of the Crown Prince. Something must have truly incensed him this time.

Nevertheless, the Crown Prince’s conduct only garnered more respect from everyone present. As the heir to the throne, he needed to be magnanimous and courteous, refraining from losing his temper, especially in the face of those who behaved rudely and unreasonably.

The Fourth Prince, the Third Prince, and the Second Prince were utterly bewildered.

What had come over the Crown Prince? What had led him to alter his approach?

They had been anticipating him making a fool of himself, only to find that the outcome defied their expectations.

The three princes clenched their teeth in secret frustration. The Crown Prince had become cunning as well. He had covertly made preparations without revealing anything when they inquired out of concern.

It was too much, far too much!

The Qingdi diplomatic delegation, meanwhile, experienced disappointment twice over. They were well aware that a live braised carp was no match for the other dish. They no longer wished to witness this ordeal.

Yet, curiosity nagged at them. They genuinely wanted to see how this predicament would be resolved. Despite their efforts to make things difficult, they lacked the knowledge of how to untangle the knot they had created.

Having endured two setbacks, they were unfazed by the prospect of another.

Prince Nuo Nuo let out a light snort and stiffly remarked, “Well, what are you waiting for?”

Shao Yunduan nodded. “Of course.”

With a meaningful glance to the eunuch who had been observing the proceedings outside, Shao Yunduan signaled him to proceed.

Everyone craned their necks, eagerly awaiting the unfolding spectacle.

Before long, a braised carp was placed before Prince Nuo Nuo.

The sight left everyone utterly speechless.
