East Palace, side hall.

Huang Ji Tian sat in the guest seat, smiling as he accepted the tea water from the palace maid. After politely nodding to her, he lowered his head and took a sip, letting out a sigh and saying: "One sip, fragrant on the palate; after swallowing, the aftertaste lingers endlessly. First bitter then sweet, it makes one's tongue feel refreshed, feeling the taste is wonderful and unmatched. The tea of the Great Qin is fragrant, even ordinary tea leaves from the East Palace are much better than the tribute tea from our Jin Kingdom."

Seated at the head of the great hall was a man in his fifties, sipping from his cup of tea.

Upon hearing the words of Huangji Tian, he put down the teacup that he had already brought to his lips and said lightly, "If what Thirteenth Brother says is spread back to the capital, I'm afraid it would cause quite a stir."

Huangji Tian chuckled and said, "What else could there be to argue about It's just that as the thirteenth brother of the Jin Kingdom, I always think about the good of Da Qin. They say I am pro-Qin and foreign-minded, belittling our own Jin Kingdom to nothing. Turning one's elbow outwards... In the end, it all boils down to these few words. These words aren't new to the Jin court, I've grown accustomed to them. An Tu, haven't you gotten used to them yet"

An Tu's pale eyebrows twitched, but she remained silent.

Huangji Tian looked at him with a deep meaning in his eyes, and asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "An Tu has been in the capital for three days now. In these three days, how do you see the capital compared to my Jin Kingdom's capital city"

Antu fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "They are completely different, not comparable at all."

Shaking his head, Huangji Tian said: "I agree with half of that statement."

“You said that the two are completely different, and I agree. After all, one is in the Central Plains region with thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage, while the other is located in a harsh and cold land outside the pass. Although this land beyond the pass may be considered so by those from the Central Plains, we must also admit that most of the Jin Kingdom's territory has only two seasons throughout the year: the dry season and the rainy season. Either it is unbearably hot with thousands of miles of barren land, or it is bitterly cold with tens of thousands of miles frozen.”

"These two places are, of course, completely different."

But you say there's no comparison, that's not right. Both are the capitals of their respective countries, with a political status above all others. How can my Jin Dynasty's capital city compare unfavorably to the Qin Dynasty's

An Tuhun said in a deep voice, "What is the Thirteenth Brother trying to say"

Huangji Tian said faintly, “What I want to say is that when there is a gap, you need to admit it. Recognize the good in others and your own shortcomings. Only then can you learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, strengthen yourself, and make progress. If you always remain stagnant, you will only be a frog at the bottom of a well, with limited vision and no ambition.”

For example, your master, the eldest brother.

An Tu abruptly raised his eyes, looking at Huang Ji Tian, and said in a deep voice, "Thirteen Gege's words, I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just keep it in mind. Big Brother, with his status, has meddled in how many things"

Huang Ji Tian Leng smiled and said, “Although I don’t know how this time the eldest brother persuaded the father to allow you to come to negotiate with Day Qin, but you must be clear that it has always been me and Day Qin in contact, the prince of Day Qin recognizes me, not you, nor your eldest brother behind you!”

"To pick peaches is impossible."

"To think that you would dare to force the Crown Prince of Qin to bow his head with your so-called abilities, is impossible!"

Huangji Tian's words left An Tu's face as black as ink.

Before he could even speak, a sonorous cry of "hail" rang out from outside the side hall.

"The Crown Prince has arrived!"

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate! something fishy going on here."Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "You, a commander of the Jinyi Guard, are really idle. You've even extended your hand to the military"Before Chen Tong could explain...
