Chapter 498 Rome Requests Marriage
"The prince of your country is indeed a talented person from heaven, this tofu brain not only smells delicious, but also feels good to the whole body after eating, and feels that the whole body is instantly emptied.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness not only has achievements in military science and technology, but also is a master in food. All these wonderful ideas are really admirable. "
Little Scipio held up the tofu brain in his hand and praised it greatly.
"Hahaha, the prince is indeed quite talented in cooking. Even I often go to his prince's mansion to eat, and now I am not used to the food in the palace."
Ying Zheng laughed loudly.
This is not a lie. Ever since I tasted the food made by Ying Yu in the Prince's Mansion, Ying Zheng has been completely fascinated. 360 days a year, Ying Zheng spends at least 100 days at Ying Yu's place. mixed drink.
All the cooks in the imperial dining room were about to lose their jobs.
Now these cooks have to go to the Prince's Mansion every day, on the one hand, to serve Ying Zheng, and on the other hand, they have to learn from Ying Yu the production techniques of new dishes and the amount of raw materials used.
Otherwise, if they continue to follow Ying Yu's way, they are really afraid that one day Ying Zheng will be unhappy and disband the imperial dining room, and they will be too sad!
"His Royal Highness, can I take some of this tofu back to my father? I also want to make a bowl of tofu for him."
"In recent years, there have been internal and external troubles in Rome. My father has been working hard on state affairs in recent years. His appetite is getting worse day by day, and his teeth are not as good as before."
"But Sophie doesn't understand state affairs, so she can't share his worries, and she doesn't know medical treatment, so she can't improve his symptoms. She can only watch her father weaken day by day, full of worries but can't do anything about it."
"Fortunately, I came to Daqin for a visit. The appearance of this tofu finally gave me hope! Not only is it easy to eat, but it is also fragrant and delicious, which can greatly stimulate people's appetite. After taking it to my father, maybe it will be good for me. His loss of appetite helped."
Sophie looked at Ying Yu, her big beautiful eyes were full of sincerity.
Although saying this on such a public occasion might be suspected of expressing herself in front of Ying Yu, these are indeed Sophie's heartfelt words.
Since the war with Carthage in the Mediterranean Sea, Scipio has not had a good day. The army led by Hannibal is very strong and has put a lot of pressure on him.
In addition, in order to help Daqin build the railway, people in the Senate also had constant disputes with Scipio, which made Scipio and other Sophies anxious in their eyes, so even this would expose some of their shortcomings However, as long as she could improve her father's health, Sophie would not hesitate.
"Princess Sophie can have such filial piety, I naturally don't want to let it down. Besides, this tofu is not a precious thing. If you want it, the prince can sell the formula to you Rome at a low price."
It was such a small request, Ying Yu would naturally not refuse, but he didn't give it away for nothing.
Tofu was nothing to Ying Yu, but it was different in other people's hands.
After all, this is something that can create huge benefits.
However, Ying Yu didn't intend to kill Sophie. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, and a person who never forgets to hang on to his parents must be as bad as possible.
"Really? Sophie thanked His Royal Highness for the generous gift."
Sophie frowned, and immediately saluted Ying Yu.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so talented and generous, and also has such a kind heart. If anyone can marry His Highness the Crown Prince, it will be a blessing from the third generation!"
Little Scipio always kept his mission in mind, while praising Ying Yu, he also reminded Sophie.
"Sophie's filial piety is also invaluable. Although she is in Daqin, she still misses her old father's body thousands of miles away. It seems that Scipio gave birth to a good daughter, which is enviable."
Ying Zheng spoke slowly, looking at Sophie with something meaningful in his eyes.
Of course he knew that Rome came this time to make peace, and in fact he was also moved.
Because Yingzheng had always hoped that Yingyu could have more side concubines, so that he could spread the branches and leaves for the Great Qin royal family, and let him enjoy the joy of being full of children and grandchildren.
However, Ying Yu would refuse every time on the grounds that the state affairs were heavy and he had no time to think about it. Although Ying Zheng was a little unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
After all, this kind of thing still depends on fate. If Ying Yu really has such thoughts, he will naturally be happy to push the boat along. If not for the time being, Ying Zheng is not willing to force it.
The only thing he did was to create some opportunities for Sophie and Ying Yu.
As for the result?
Just go with the flow.
All the ministers knew it well, but they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, drinking and drinking in their seats, as if they were already intoxicated by it.
"His Majesty the Emperor was joking. The foreign minister has a proposal that can make His Majesty the Emperor no longer envy my uncle."
Little Sidiah followed Ying Zheng's wishes and immediately stood up and said.
"Oh? What's the proposal, let's hear it?"
Ying Zheng actually understood what little Scipio said, but deliberately pretended not to ask.
"To be honest, Your Majesty, the reason why my uncle sent me to Daqin this time is because he has heard about the advanced and powerful state of Daqin, and he has always wanted to visit him in person. However, the frontline battles are tight, and various The government affairs are busy, so I had no choice but to send me to appreciate the elegance of Daqin."
"The second is that Princess Sophie is eighteen years old and has reached the age of marriage. For this reason, my uncle hopes that Rome can marry Daqin, and plans to marry Princess Sophie to His Highness the Crown Prince of your country!"
"The marriage between the two countries, from now on, we can communicate with each other, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will make it happen!"
After the words fell, little Scipio presented the highest courtesy of Rome to Ying Zheng, and other Roman envoys also bowed down to Ying Zheng.
Sophie was stunned for a moment, and then followed behind little Scipio, feeling full of apprehension.
In fact, at this moment, everyone in the Roman mission was very upset, because they all knew that the two reasons that Scipio said to Emperor Shihuang, the first was purely polite words, and the second was their mission. The real purpose of visiting Daqin.
Make peace with Daqin!
If they had no concept of the strength of Great Qin before, then after visiting the surrounding area, they finally knew what the most powerful country in the world was.
Rome was completely crushed by the Great Qin from ruler to common people, from farming development to military technology!
This made everyone in the Roman mission, especially Scipio the younger, feel more and more the necessity of making peace with Da Qin.
Not to mention that the object of their marriage this time is a famous figure in the world.
