I traveled through time and space and became the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 175: Alliance with An Guo!

Just when Chu Qingmo and An Yi were puzzled, Mu Lingshuang in the hall had already looked at the two of them without leaving any trace. After Chu Qingmo and Jiang Yuwan finished their greetings, she bowed and stepped forward and said:

"I have long admired the reputation of the Queen and the Regent. Rong An has come here with his husband. Firstly, I want to ask for the Regent's help, and secondly, I want to cooperate with your country."

Because she had something to ask for, Mu Lingshuang's attitude was particularly good.

Even Fang Yuanqi who was standing by was a little surprised. It turned out that the dog had such a polite side. This was really rare.

But what does my sister want to ask this regent for help? Why didn't she mention it during the whole journey?

Just when Fang Yuanqi was wondering, An Yi, who was sitting high on the phoenix chair, felt a little guilty because of Mu Lingshuang's words. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Qingmo, and his smart and playful eyes clearly expressed: My dear, now is the time for you to share my worries.

Chu Qingmo, who was sitting with the empress, had beautiful peach blossom eyes that sparkled and were very affectionate when she looked at her own Majesty, as if to say: Don't worry, leave it to me.

After all, since the last time he experienced a life-and-death crisis in Jiang State, Chu Qingmo changed the ideas he had always held.

Not only is he no longer obsessed with making Your Majesty study hard on government affairs, but he is very active in doing things that can help Your Majesty share his worries.

Especially after the wedding, her favor towards Her Majesty the Queen increased day by day.

Now, when facing her own queen, she put away all her tricks and exploitation, and was left with only tenderness and patience (except at night).

After indulging her own feelings, Chu Qingmo realized that she could no longer bear to force Yi'er to do things she didn't like. She just wanted her to be happy every day...

So, such trivial matters will naturally be handled by herself, and Her Majesty just needs to be happy every day...

Chu Qingmo's eyes, full of tenderness, shifted slightly, and when they fell on Mu Lingshuang, seriousness and steadiness appeared in his eyes again.

"I wonder what Princess Rong'an wants to cooperate with my Anguo?"

Chu Qingmo was also very thoughtful. She didn't mention helping, only cooperating. The implication was very obvious...

I want to ask for your help, but first I want to see if your cooperation can attract me. How sincere are you?

If both are possible, it would be nice to help out.

With just a casual remark, Mu Lingshuang realized that the Regent of An State was as cunning as the eldest princess of Jiang State.

There is no need to beat around the bush with such people, as this will only annoy them.

Mu Lingshuang, who had a plan, did not hide it and spoke directly in front of Jiang Yuwan and others:

"On the way to Anguo, I reached a consensus with the Princess of Jiang. Jiang and Qi will form an alliance. Qi will open some trade channels with Jiang. I wonder if the Regent is interested in this?"

Chu Qingmo glanced at Jiang Yuwan beside him without leaving any trace, and then smiled:

"Just trade?"

She didn't believe this. After all, it was not only An State that benefited from the mutual trade, but also Qi State. Judging from the current situation, Qi State should show enough sincerity no matter which country it formed an alliance with.

Just trading with each other is a bit lacking...

Mu Lingshuang naturally knew that the Regent of Anguo was not easy to fool, so she did not keep him in suspense and said directly:

"Of course, there's more to it than that. Just like Jiang State, An State will collect only 50% tax from all caravans entering and leaving Qi State for the next three years. And currently, Qi State has only opened up foreign trade with Jiang and An State."

After hearing this, Chu Qingmo nodded secretly in his heart.

The 50% tax revenue can be regarded as Qi's sincerity in maintaining friendly relations with their two countries. Coupled with Qi's demand for food, those countries that are the first to trade with Qi will definitely gain considerable profits. This is the key to Chu Qingmo's satisfaction.

If you want to do it, be the first to try it...

Otherwise, the conditions offered by the envoys of Liang some time ago were much more generous than those offered by Qi.

However, compared with this, Liang State was indeed greedy.

Not long ago, the envoys of Liang State brought a personal letter from their queen, which clearly expressed the hope that they would send troops to help, and then wait for the division of interests after defeating Qi State, etc. Unfortunately, neither Jiang nor An State had much interest in this.

However, the fourth princess of Qi was much smarter. She started with the trade that Qi had never opened to the outside world in recent years, and gave both sides an opportunity for cooperation.

In this way, even if Anguo and Jiangguo could not become her allies in her conquest of Liangguo, at least they would not become her enemies.

Chu Qingmo and Jiang Yuwan in the audience looked at each other and nodded secretly in their hearts.

Before, I had only heard about how powerful the Fourth Princess of Qi was in military affairs, but I never thought that her political talents were also not to be underestimated. She is truly a wonderful person.

What puzzled Chu Qingmo and Jiang Yuwan was that, thanks to Princess Rong'an's efforts, the crisis in Qi State had been resolved. So what did they want this time?

Chu Qingmo, who was playing with his Majesty's hand, accidentally glanced at Princess Rong'an's husband below, and his originally relaxed expression suddenly became solemn.

She even sat up straight. An Yi, who was sitting beside her, was the first to notice the change in her lover's mood. Just as she was about to ask, Chu Qingmo stopped her by shaking his head.

Interesting, it seems that Princess Rong'an is also a person with great luck!

No wonder she observed the sky at night a few days ago and found that two small stars near the Azure Dragon Stars in the direction of Qi State were shining abnormally and strangely. It seemed that another alien star had appeared.

However, this Qi State Consort was different from Lin Xuan. She looked more like someone who had come from another world...

Thinking of the records in ancient books, Chu Qingmo's heart was slightly moved...
