"Really? Their ship has docked?" Fu Jiaojiao asked excitedly.

After all these months, with people constantly talking about Si Ge going out to sea, we finally have a response. Now Si Ge won't be misunderstood or spoken ill of anymore.

Of course, these people wouldn't dare say it to the Fu family's face, but behind their backs, there was no shortage of gossip.

Their mouths may be long, but they can't control what others say. Besides, they haven't heard back from the other side, so they have no reason to be confident, do they?

Tang Xian looked at her excited expression and smiled, "Just arrived ashore, I'm here to find you. I can't do anything without you."

Language barrier.

Fu Jiujiu looked at him, "Haven't you learned anything these past few days either?"

Tang Xian shook her head. "I can't, who told you that your master is so hard to find, he doesn't even show up for three or five days."

Tang Xian was a very clever student, but unfortunately, Fu Jiujiu had never been a teacher before, especially when it came to language. He needed to explain more, but who could Tang Xian talk to?

Besides Fu Jiu Jiu, no one else around me spoke anymore. The two of them were both busy with their own things. When they met, they couldn't even get enough of each other. How could they have the time and energy to focus on studying?

But Tang Xian is already very capable. Although he has been learning for a short time, he has learned quite a few simple communication skills.

"Has the Emperor found out yet?" Fu Jiujiu asked again.

"Well, this matter is that he asked me to come find you." Tang Xian said.

Fu Jiujiu raised a faint smile. After Tang Qi and the emperor had spoken that time, the emperor indeed stopped doubting her.

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Fu Jiujiu. She realized she had to be more careful, because no matter how much someone loved her, once they threatened the imperial power or throne, that love might disappear.

"How did the Emperor know I could talk to them?"

Tang Xian smiled. "I said they left us some books. You're smart and learn quickly, I only learned a little bit."

Tang Xian knew that the little girl was now being more careful in her actions, which made him feel guilty.

"Then I'll go get Fourth Brother." Fu Jiujiu said happily.

Fu Si Jin was also quite excited after hearing the news, "Jiu Jiu, to be honest, I thought they wouldn't come at all."

Fu Jiujiu raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect they would actually bring them. Let's go."

A group of people arrived at the ferry crossing on horseback. Tang Xian also brought some men, wanting to show the other side that the Li Chao dynasty was a powerful country with proper etiquette and decorum.

Carl had been waiting for a long time, and because he couldn't communicate, things were getting a bit awkward with the person who was receiving him.

He always said he wanted to find a beautiful girl, but unfortunately, where could the people around him understand what he was saying?

Carl gestured again, but they still couldn't understand each other.

Carl once thought he had come to the wrong place until he saw Fu Jiujiao and Tang Xian appear, then a smile appeared on his face.

He shoved the official who was trying to reason with him aside and strode towards Fu Jiu Jiu. Just as Fu Jiu Jiu stood before him, he instinctively wanted to hug her and then offer a peck on the cheek.

However, the moment he showed any intention of doing so, Tang Xian's face fell.

Although Fu Jujju didn't think it was a big deal, her current status wouldn't allow her to act that way. She could only smile and explain to Karl.

Karl shrugged, expressing regret, but he also said he was very excited to see Fu Jiujiao again.

Not to mention Fu Si Jin, even Tang Xian was left out in the cold.

"Tang Qi, what are they saying? Could this boy be interested in Jioujiou? Look at his eyes, they're always on Jioujiou. And those pupils, why are they that color?"

Fu Sijin is also thinking of Tang Xian.

Tang Xian also couldn't quite understand what they were saying, but he absolutely trusted Fu Jiujiu. However, he didn't trust this man.

"Chirp...chirp... Don't just talk, ask them what they brought!"

"Fu Jiujiu turned back and said, "Fourth Brother, you're too impatient."

Fu Si Jin pursed his lips, being scolded by his sister. He wasn't even afraid of Tang Xian getting angry, was he?

How did my little sister become so foolish all of a sudden?

Fu Jiujiu saw that there were still people on the boat, so she asked Karl to call them over. They would be treated as honored guests, and they were also planning to invite them to the palace to meet Emperor Li Chao.

Carl got excited and, pointing to the people on board, made a gesture with his jewelry. Then many of them came down.

There were also several beautiful maidens, with golden hair and blue eyes, that left the common people of Li Chao speechless.

"Tang Qi, how could they be so easily deceived? Don't they worry that we'll steal their ship and leave the goods behind?"

Fu Sijin naturally wouldn't, but it is important to be cautious. These people don't seem to have that idea.

They trust Jojo, let alone us?

"Of course not." Fu Sijin smiled, and couldn't help but glance at the exotic beauty.

Along the way, Carl and CooCoo chatted animatedly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in ages, chattering away nonstop.

Tang Xian and Fu Sijin both couldn't get a word in, only Qian was anxious, but couldn't interrupt them, as if they were being petty.

Their belongings were also numerous, and they were all transported to the capital city.

The Emperor of Chengde was also excited and summoned all the ministers to come and see these envoys from other countries.

Not to mention them, even the Empress Dowager wants to see that golden-haired and blue-eyed girl, as she's never seen one before.

Emperor Chengde and Karl could only communicate through Fu Jiu Jiu.

Carl also showed Emperor Chengde the things he brought, gold and silver wares, as well as craftsmanship, and the seeds of many fruits, grains and vegetables that Fu Jiujiu had requested before.

The Chengde Emperor nodded, "Yes, these are indeed different from ours. Jiujiu, you ask him what he wants to take away from us?"

Fuju asked Karl, and Karl only said, “Medicinal herbs!”

After Fu JiuJiu's translation, Emperor Chengde was surprised, "Medicinal herbs, they don't have medicinal herbs? What are they going to do with our medicinal herbs?"

Karl, of course, had witnessed Fu Jiujiu's medical skills. However, he was unaware that the Emperor in Chengde didn't know about their trip to discuss matters overseas.

But luckily, besides Fujujiao, no one else here can understand this kind of talk.

Fu Jiujiu made up a random excuse to get by, but she felt she couldn't hide this matter any longer. She should ask Tang Xian to find a time to tell Emperor Chengde.

Anyway, since things are already done, his anger should have subsided by now.

"Is it just medicinal herbs?" the Emperor Chengde asked again. "Our Li Chao has vast land and abundant resources. There are many good things here as well. Just ask them what else they need, and we can use it for trade."

Unfortunately, Karl didn't know much about Li Chao, so besides herbs, he wasn't very familiar with anything else. Fu Jiu decided to let him stay in the history department for a while, just to see what else needed to be taken back.

Trade between the two countries is not a bad thing, Fujujui should know the danger of isolationism.

The Emperor of Chengde was also very pleased, but it was so troublesome to entertain these foreign envoys. They didn't understand a word!
