Ji Wu Jiu looked up, and gazed into her eyes and asked “why don’t you first tell me why are you so anxious?”
Ye Zhen Zhen took a deep breath, and looked back seriously, “Your majesty, in this world, there is a place we don’t understand, but they are observing us. What is scarier is that they have strong arm power, they can build stronger and bigger war ships than us, and they also have gun powder that are equally strong as us, this type of opponent, although not enemy now, we still have to be on our guards. Instead of waiting for them to attack us first, why don’t we first understand them so that we can prepare first”
“How do you know if they will attack us?”
“Their king is supportive of public criminals like stealing, their pirates/criminals, as long as they bring back money, they can be big heroes, and be respected by the citizens, is that not enough? Etiquettes cannot win over crime, towards these type of people, we can only use force against them. The reason why they haven’t attack us yet, is not because our Da Qi has strong arm forces and still can win over them, but because the cost to fight with us all the way from the west would be very costly, not something they can afford right now. Although this is now, but who can know what will happen in the future, so that is why now we must first take actions and to guard”
Ji Wu Jiu was quiet, and did not speak for a while.
“Your Majesty?” Ye Zhen Zhen thought that he was trying to think of ways to reject her idea.
He stood up from his chair and walked towards her, with slow but strong steps. Ye Zhen Zhen looked at him walking over, and not sure why she looked down and not facing him, and stared at his shoes, and seeing it get closer by the moment.
“You think very far ahead”, pausing for a while Ji Wu Jiu’s voice was heard again on top of her head “I cannot compare”
Ye Zhen Zhen saw the closed up belt of his, black based with 2 golden embroidered dragons, with a huge pearl in the middle,… “your majesty, you overly praised me, I am a slow and straight person, what I see I will say, cannot be compared to your majesty, you must have more thinks to consider”
Most probably after getting praised by her, Ji Wu Jiu’s mood got better “I want to gift you something, what do you want?”
Ye Zhen Zhen did not give him face “no need, I do not lack anything”
“I want to gift you, look up”
