The eunuch obeyed the order and left.
GongYimo stretched and rubbed her stomach.
These days were really boring. Sometimes, she would think of Gong Dai in her previous life.
In her previous life, he had not only managed Dai Yu State, but also the combined area of the four countries. In an era without information networks, how did he manage such a big country? Would he be tired? Would he be lonely?
Perhaps some people were born to bring others down. In any case, she felt that it was very strenuous and boring.
The feeling of being high and mighty was not very comfortable.
Gong Dai, I miss you so much …

"Guiba-kun, did you really fully express my intentions?"
The bearded man was called Tokugawa Takanori. The moment he came out, he asked Li Yu unhappily. He felt that GongYimo had suddenly chased them out because Li Yu did not express himself properly.
Li Yu quickly shook his head. "Tokugawa Lord, I am sure that I have expressed your intentions."
Tokugawa Takanori frowned when he heard this. However, although Li Yu did not have an official position, he was still the son of a noble family. It was not good for him to say much.
He only said, "Regarding our plan, you must not leak it out! Dai Yu State is so rich, but they are unwilling to help us. They are going overboard, so we are doing this. Of course, if this plan succeeds, everyone's family will rise to another level! "
Someone at the side laughed sinisterly. "Who would have thought that Dai Yu State is ruled by a woman? Does she have the strength and ability of a man? But she is really beautiful. Beauties are all brainless. She should be easy to fool. "
Another person stroked his beard. "It's a pity that her position is too high. Otherwise …"
At this point, everyone laughed tacitly. Li Yu's face turned red. He knew that it was wrong of him to do this, but this matter concerned his own country … He did not know what to do.
The eunuch walking in front saw them laughing and laughed as well. How dare they make such a shameless request of the princess. It sounded nice, but with such a distance, the Dai Yu State would definitely be the one at a disadvantage!
Even though that was what they thought, the palace servants still did their best to show them around. For a few days, they were dazzled by the sights.
Those exquisite porcelain pieces were like jade, making one unable to put them down. Tokugawa and the others thought that what they saw on the road was the best, but now they realized that the best was in the capital!
The two words "Official Kiln" were not only a symbol of status, but also represented the highest standard in this place!
"These things are too beautiful! At that time, we must cheat the porcelain manufacturing technology, and we will become very rich! "
Tokugawa's eyes flashed with greed.
His words gained the approval of the others. They thought it was very noble, for the sake of the progress of their own people, but in reality, only they knew what it was for.
The palace maids allowed them to discuss. After showing them around the official kiln, they were brought to the Imperial Tea Service the next day.
This was the largest teahouse in the capital. Good teas from all over the world would be sent here for selection. The best teas would be sent to the imperial palace, while the rest would be auctioned in the city. Some of the best teas were often priceless.
Things like tea, when paired with porcelain, were so mesmerizing.
The palace maids invited them to taste the tea and let the tea maids perform the tea ceremony. The beautiful steam seemed to be able to evaporate into a landscape painting. It made these people feel that they were not drinking tea, but were drinking nobility.
In Li Yu's impression, tea was bitter. His father had imitated it before, but the taste was not complimentary. However, this tea was fragrant in the mouth and sweet in the throat. There was a hint of bitterness at both ends of the tongue. It was really the best in the world! So this was tea!
Moreover, there was more than one type of tea. Each type had its own merits, and they were all the best teas. Therefore, even people like them who did not know anything about tea could taste its beauty.
Tokugawa's eyes lit up! He knew that such elegant things were the favorite of the aristocrats. They would go crazy for this!
The palace maids did not bring them here for too long. Occasionally, when Li Yu's companions asked the palace maids, he would not say much.
Seeing that the palace maids were bringing them away, the few people behind were obviously reluctant to leave. They wanted to know how to make tea. It did not seem complicated.
However, they still followed because they wanted to know what other good things Dai Yu State had that they had to take away!
"Sir …" Li Yu did not know how to address the palace maids, so he could only call them that.
The head of the palace maids glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Honored guest, do you have any questions?"
Li Yu was a little embarrassed.
"What does Your Highness mean? Why do you want us to visit this place? "
The palace maids smiled meaningfully. He did not dare to say that this was a prank by the princess, so he only said.
"Are you all having fun?"
Li Yu nodded. "Dai Yu State is very beautiful and very powerful!"
The palace maids smiled and said, "Then let's continue. There are even better things ahead."
With that said, they led the way.
Seeing that the palace maids had left, Tokugawa hurriedly asked Li Yu, "What did he say?"
Li Yu opened his mouth and finally sighed. "He said that there are even better things ahead."
Tokugawa's eyes lit up when he heard that! Was there anything better than silk, porcelain, and tea?
The few of them muttered for a while, showing unprecedented excitement. Furthermore, Tokugawa repeatedly warned Li Yu not to reveal their plan! Whether the country could become as powerful as Dai Yu State would depend on them!
Li Yu nodded, but he became even more silent.
The palace maids brought them to the Myriad Treasure Tower.
The Myriad Treasure Tower gathered the best from the four countries! All kinds of rare treasures could be seen there. Moreover, a large-scale auction would be held every year. The money from the auction would be used to fill the national treasury. This was all the princess' idea.
When the group arrived at the Myriad Treasure Tower, they were mesmerized by the pearls and precious treasures in front of them. The Myriad Treasure Tower was in the shape of a tall tower, and in the tower, the treasures were arranged side by side, competing with each other for glory. It made one's heart tremble!
Every treasure was separated by glass so that people could see it clearly, but they couldn't touch it. The Nihon people screamed when they saw the glass!
The palace maids snickered behind their backs.
The Myriad Treasure Tower had many good things, but the real good things were all in the national treasury. Here, it was merely the leftovers that were screened out. It was a pity that the other party did not understand and was almost drooling. After all, the impact of so many treasures piled up together was not an ordinary kind of great.
Ambition suddenly arose in Tokugawa's heart! It would be great if they could annex Dai Yu State! Then, all these treasures would be theirs. All of them!
However, he could not show it now. He had decided to pretend to submit first, then slowly encroach on Dai Yu State, turning Dai Yu State into their territory! Only they deserved to enjoy these good things!
How could the palace maids not see the ambition in his eyes? Therefore, he sneered and opened a hidden buckle on a shelf at the side, casually taking out a sword.
Seeing that the palace maids suddenly took out a sword, Tokugawa and the others immediately became alert! They were surrounded by people from Dai Yu State. What were they doing?
