At the Spring Palace of Dihua, Ye Zhao slowly sipped the tea and looked through the memorials and messages on the table. Qin Wanjun, who was sitting quietly beside him, changed into a long palace dress of the red yarn, which made him look even more graceful.

Since the night before yesterday, Qin Wanjun seems to have changed her own person and is extremely obedient.

However, Ye Zhao frowned and stared at the letter in his hand for more than half an hour. He didn't look up at her. However, Qin Wanjun didn't care at all. She tasted the bone-bone-deep feeling of love, and her whole heart was melted.

In the letter above Ye Zhao hand, there is news that Prince William has arrived in Berlin safely, and there are also war reports from the Boers in South Africa.

What made Ye Zhao frowned was news from the Balkans. Yesterday, Romania officially declared war on Bulgaria, and the Second Balkan War was unveiled. An alliance of Romania, Montenegro, Serbia and Greece was formed against Bulgaria, which had just restored its former territory.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire has clearly expressed its position in supporting Bulgaria, and the Balkan powder keg may trigger larger conflicts at any time.

At the same time, the London newspaper disclosed the "sincerity agreement" signed by Britain, France and Russia three months ago. In the agreement, the three countries agreed to understand and support each other, and also gave in to each other's disputes in some colonies in the past to form an understanding agreement.

It is reported that Russia and France, Russia and Britain have reached a secret military alliance. According to the secret reports from the Imperial internal affairs agency from Moscow, the Russian-French agreement mainly includes: 1. When France is attacked by Germany or Italy, or when Russia is attacked by Germany or Austro-Hungary Empire, both sides support each other with all their forces. 2. If Germany, Austro-Hungary, Italy or one of the countries mobilizes troops, France, once it is learned, it does not require any prior agreement, and the troops should be transferred to the border immediately. 3. France should have 1.1 million troops used to deal with Germany. If China has not participated in the war, Russia should have 700,000 or 800,000 troops. Some troops should participate in the battle as soon as possible, forcing Germany to fight at the same time on the east and west lines... The validity period is ten years.

The British-Russian military secret agreement is mainly aimed at China. Although the internal affairs agency failed to obtain a copy of the treaty, it also found many clues that the British-Russian military secret agreement mainly stipulates that the military obligations both sides should bear after Russia or Britain enters a state of war with China.

A three-country agreement was made for a military secret agreement, which formed a chain of connections, closely linked the three countries of the alliance, and formed an alliance in the meaning of a military alliance.

"It's hard to pass on the Englishman!" Ye Zhao sighed and said in his heart that if he didn't have to go to war with Britain, he could solve the problems of Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Malacca. Ye Zhao really didn't want to go to war, and the war ended up together. The war was full of war. I don't know how many passionate men in the empire lost their lives in foreign lands, and I don't know how many happy families were broken. Soldiers are also weapons.

Qin Wanjun has read the novel "Jane Eyre" by an English female writer, but she can't get involved if she says she's talking to the English. Moreover, in the past few days, she doesn't know what to say to Ye Zhao. She remembered that she was calling Ye Zhao's name to divorce him, but half a year later, she became his legitimate concubine, and she always had a twist in her heart.

Ye Zhao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, stood up and said, "Go out and relax." He glanced at Qin Wanjun's palace-style long skirt and said, "You change your clothes, this skirt is too eye-catching, let's go for a walk on the street."

Although Novosibirsk is the distribution center for Chinese goods to Russia and even Europe by land, in Dihua, there are also many Russian merchants, not to mention Dihua is the hub city from the Central Plains to Central Asia. A large number of Chinese goods entering West Asia have to go through Dihua. Over the years, Dihua has changed with each passing day. The population is now nearly one million, and it can rank among the top ten in the modernized cities of the empire.

Qin Wanjun felt inexplicably novel when she was wearing Ye Zhao's casual clothes on the street. Although her family was open-minded and she was never a canary in a cage, it would be a unique experience to follow Ye Zhao to visit the largest prosperous city in the western part of the empire.

I bought a bunch of impossible cosmetics at Beijing Road Department Store, such as snow cream, lip red, etc., and went to a halal restaurant to enjoy a skewer of grilled lamb, and went to the informant's shop to buy some hand-painted tapestries and other accessories. When I arrived at the community where Russians gathered on Friendship Street, the sunset was already setting.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Wanjun said he would not go shopping and go back.

Seeing that she was in a deep mood, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Since you are here, let's go."

Qin Wanjun smiled and said that the person was more beautiful than Hua. He stretched out his hand and took Ye Zhao's arm. In big cities with the most active ideas such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, it is occasionally seen that couples are so intimate. There are much fewer pictures like this on the streets of the capital. On the contrary, there are many ethnic groups in the northwest of Dihua, and the folk customs are open, so that men and women are more enthusiastic and bold.

This community is called "Russian Street" by the Dihua people. Chauvinists with strong citizenship in the Great Empire are called "Maozi Street" in despised. This street that is hundreds of meters long is actually mostly oriental buildings. The shops on both sides are full of Chinese-style lofts, and Russian-style buildings can be seen occasionally, such as Orthodox Church, Expatriate Primary School, etc.

Looking at Qin Wanjun holding her side, she was wearing a delicate bun like a flower, and her elegant black pink cheongsam, revealing her delicate calves wearing stockings. She was a pair of small satin-faced high heels that were as loud as black gemstones, making her modern and beautiful.

Why do they feel like a Shanghai beach? There are beautiful socialites around them. Ye Zhao didn't know why this feeling suddenly arose and shook his head with a self-deprecating feeling.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Wanjun asked coquettishly.

Ye Zhao said: "It's nothing." If Qin Wanjun heard that she linked her to her socialites, she wouldn't know how depressed she was.

Looking at Qin Wanjun's charming and seductive face shimmering slightly, Ye Zhao knew that she was very happy now, but if she said she liked her more, she would naturally be strong. She was already past the age of love and love. Even if she liked her, she still liked her seductive body.

"Here, the Russian restaurant." Ye Zhao pointed to a second-floor restaurant in front of him with lights on, which looked extremely eye-catching among the oriental lofts.

This luxurious restaurant is called "Mulberry Moon". It is very famous in Dihua. It has pure Russian cuisine. Most Chinese people who want to taste freshness have come here. Of course, most of them will never come again after just once. Today, the restaurant is also improving the dishes and trying to cater to the tastes of locals.

"Well, I just want to try the Russian black bread." There is no doubt that Wanjun is the kind of restless person. Of course, this restlessness does not refer to men and women. But anything new, she wants to try it out. The movie phone calls in the palace have opened her eyes.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You are not allowed to leave it. Back then, I ate black bread for half a year, and I wanted to vomit even if I ate it."

As they spoke, the two walked towards the restaurant. The waiter with white shirts, straps and black pants on the steps had already run down. Seeing that the beautiful Chinese wife, who had no hats and jackets, needed him to serve, five or six servants followed behind them. The waiter felt a little disappointed. But he still guided the way forward with diligent attention.

When Ye Zhao and Qin Wanjun entered the restaurant, Wan Dequan, who pretended to be a housekeeper, threw the waiter ten yuan tip, and the Russian waiter's eyes shone and thanked him.

Sitting at the window table, he ordered bread, cheese and potato soup, and Ye Zhao looked around. The restaurant was decorated with excellent quality, with gorgeous chandeliers reflecting magnificently, and the snow-white tablecloths and blooming vases on the dining table were also unique.

There are many guests in the restaurant, mostly Russians with white faces, and the Chinese guests are Ye Zhao and Qin Wanjun.

The waitress worked hard to introduce the restaurant's special dishes. Obviously, with the decoration and scale of the restaurant, if you only do Russian business without Chinese customers, you will close sooner or later.

"This Chinese girl is so exciting!" A burst of laughter rang out on the table next to her. The rough Russian men were sitting there. They looked like they were all blue cloth shirts, and they should be workers.

They talked in Russian with an Odinburg accent, and obviously wouldn't have thought that any Chinese guests sitting at this table could understand.

Ye Zhao frowned and said nothing. These people were suffering, because they were defeated.

Outside the window, a beautiful little face suddenly appeared, with deep eyes, blue eyes and high noses, and a slightly cold temperament. She was a standard Russian beauty, but she was a little ragged in clothes and a wooden box containing cigarettes hanging around her neck, making her look like a little girl selling matches.

Stomping her feet, the little Russian girl looked at Ye Zhao with her green eyes, pointed to the boxes of cigarettes in her wooden box and said something loudly. The bowl had excellent sound insulation and could not hear her clearly. The waiter guarding the steps over there was coming to drive her away. Qin Wanjun also saw it and said, "Ah, it seems that she was frozen. It's so pitiful. I'll buy her some things?"

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and Wan Dequan hurriedly gestured to the window outside the window. The waiter hesitated for a moment and then let go of his big hand holding the little girl's thin arm.

"Sir, Madam, buy a box of cigarettes, and you can buy all kinds of brands. I only charge you five cents a piece of old sword cards." The girl was taken to Ye Zhao and Qin Wanjun's table by the waiter, and quickly promoted her cigarettes. She spoke in Chinese in a straightforward manner. It seemed that she was born in Dihua. The girl was quite beautiful and had clothes clean. She had frostbite on her hands. Now it's almost summer and is still red and swollen.

Ye Zhao said to Qin Wanjun: "You make the decision." Now that he saw this, he didn't feel anything. What he had to consider was not the situation of ten people in front of him or a thousand people, but the knots of billions of people in the empire, let alone the little girl in front of him was just an immigrant.

"Don't you know this little girl? The daughter of the old prostitute No. 13, her mother is my sweetheart, and she is also a sweetheart. I touched her little butt." The filthy table over there became louder again.

The little Russian girl could hear it naturally, her face turned red and her eyes were filled with anger, but she didn't dare to look back.

"You guys are quiet!" Ye Zhao finally couldn't help it and said to the table in Russian.

The laughter came to an abrupt end, and the Russian workers in the blue cloth shirt immediately disappeared. Look at me, and I look at you, it's all boring.

However, the matter was not over. Wan Dequan had long suspected that they were talking about their master. At this time, he took a stalking and strided over, following the Russian man who had just laughed the most, cursing: "What the hell do you do? Who dares to chew on his tongue?!"

The entire restaurant was silent. These Russian men stood up and looked at Wan Dequan angrily, but no one dared to fight back and even said nothing. They were just workers who came to China to hunt gold. Although they had just arrived in China and did not know the depth, how could they dare to offend locals in foreign lands?

"Where is the boss here, call the police and the police station. I want to see what kind of demons these bastards have become!" Wan Dequan shouted loudly.

None of the Russians in the restaurant spoke, and the waiter who knew Chinese wanted to persuade him but did not dare to persuade him. They were also shocked to find that when the butler made such a fuss, more than a dozen young men in black Zhongshan suits entered the restaurant, and they didn't know where they came out.

Ye Zhao said helplessly to Qin Wanjun: "So it is difficult for me to say it's hard for me to leave the palace." He didn't blame Wan Dequan. If he knew that someone was insulting him verbally, he should have lost his head according to the rules of the past.

On the side, there was a guard who gave the little girl a few bills and protected Ye Zhao and Qin Wanjun to leave the restaurant.

After returning to the sequel, he spent dinner and talked about today's affairs with Qin Wanjun. Ye Zhao said that there were more and more immigrants from outside. When legislation was banning black workers, Wan Deqian came to report happily, saying that several people were sent to the police station, and he showed the post from the purchasing office of the clan mansion. No one would think of the emperor.

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's all poor people, so it's not difficult for them." He also said, "Call Yan Fu, Kang Youwei and others will come early tomorrow, and discuss with them if you have something to do." There is no saying that the empire is a gangster. Foreigners who smuggled into the empire can usually live as long as someone is willing to work. They just don't have an imperial household registration, are not an imperial citizen, and have no various rights of imperial citizens. In this way, their labor is cheap. There are many merchants who like to use smuggled workers, and it's time to manage them. After all, the empire is different from Europe and the United States, and the labor resources are scarce, so they have to look for cheap workers everywhere.

Wan Dequan suddenly knelt down again and said, "There is another thing. The slave took Lilia, the little girl who sold cigarettes, back. Seeing that there was no one who could work with her, the empress got along with her, she boldly became the master. If the empress thought it was OK, she asked Lord Bao to look through Lilia's bottom. If Empress did not like her, the slave would send her away."

Obviously, Wan Dequan was versatile. Seeing that Qin Wanjun was ordered and had just won favor, he quickly curled up to him. In short, don't ask people to tell him what he was wrong and turn over the old accounts of the past.

Ye Zhao looked at Qin Wanjun and said, "What do you mean?"

Qin Wanjun nodded and pink cheeks at Eunuch Wan: "That little girl is pretty good. Since Eunuch Wan brought the person, please stay."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and waved his hand and said, "Go and call Baozhu." He asked Baozhu to check the origin of the little Russian girl. Although it was impossible for him to deliberately approach him and Qin, he had to be more cautious.

"Zhe!" Seeing that he had done his job, Qin agreed and Wan Dequan agreed and left happily.
