Over the past hundred years, no one had submitted to anyone. They all wanted to swallow each other up and reunify the country. As a result, there were endless disputes between the big and small. The Great Wei Kingdom suffered the most in the middle, and everyone wanted to split the cake, however, it was fortunate that the Great Wei kingdom had the largest area and the largest population, which was why it was well guarded.

Jian Qingqing said sincerely, “Yes, our country may not even occupy one-tenth of this world. However, this is not what I said, but what the foreigner said. He once sailed on the sea for many years and never met a country. However, it is also possible that the foreigner lost his way on the sea and has been wandering around that place. Perhaps he lied. In fact, it has not been that long. Otherwise, what could he eat for a few years on the sea? No ship can stay on the sea for that long.”

In order to prevent the Emperor from doubting again, Jian Qingqing simply blocked all the roads. After all, her great-grandfather was no longer around and that foreigner did not really exist. Who would know if she lied?

The Emperor laughed out loud and said, “That’s really interesting. However, I still feel that it was that foreigner who lied. After all, our Great Wei is still very big. It would be impossible for us to complete the border even after walking for a year. How could there be other countries that are even bigger than our Great Wei?”

After hearing Jian Qingqing’s nonsense, the Emperor also forgot to ask about the high yield of grain. In his heart, he already believed Jian Qingqing’s words.

Following that, he asked again, “What about fine salt? How did you discover the method to make fine salt? Could it be that it was also said by that foreigner?

Jian Qingging shook her head. Her face was a little shy, she said embarrassedly, “At that time, I was still young. I was not sensible. I thought that my family was working too hard and wanted to cook for them. I was three or four years old then? I can’t remember clearly. Anyway, I didn’t know how to cook. When I saw my mother cook, she needed to put the salt in the salt jar into the water. I also imitated her and put the salt in. I didn’t know how much I needed to put in, so I poured it all in. When the firewood was burning, I ran to play. When I came back, I found that the water inside had been boiled dry, and there was a layer of white stuff under it. I was afraid of being scolded by my parents, so I put the salt back into the salt jar. I thought I was very smart when I was young. Later, when I grew up, I thought of that incident and realized that there was something strange about it. For example, after the salt was boiled, it became much whiter, and the dirty stuff came out. I studied it for a long time before I figured out a way to make fine salt.”

The Emperor listened to the story with great relish. After listening to it, he laughed loudly, ‘Qingqing, you are really interesting. My Eldest Princess was the same when she was young. After she wet the bed, she quietly moved to another place to sleep. After she got up, she told the nanny that she did not know who had poured the water on the bed.”

Jian Qingqing had heard a little about the Eldest Princess’s reputation. She was the first-born princess of the Empress. It was said that she was deeply favored by the Emperor. It seemed that her reputation was indeed well-deserved. In just a few short conversations, the Emperor had already mentioned the Eldest Princess several times.

Therefore, Jian Qingqing followed his topic and praised the Eldest Princess a few times, which made the Emperor laugh out loud.

The two of them chatted happily until noon. When they knew that Eunuch Zhong had come to remind them that it was time to eat, the Emperor came back to his senses and actually chatted for such a long time.

He laughed and said, “Qingqing, accompany me for a meal. I will introduce the Eldest Princess to you.”

Jian Qingqing bowed respectfully.. “Thank you, Your Majesty!’
