Chapter 399 Xinluo
Silla was one of the vassal states of the Viet Dynasty and sent a prince to pay homage to Dai Viet.
The little prince was very curious.
Thinking that the officials from the Ministry of Rites could not understand Silla's language, he mumbled to his own ceremonial officer in the back.
"I heard that the crown prince of the Yue Dynasty is a bastard girl."
"In our Silla, except for the royal family, illegitimate children are all slaves, not even worthy of calling me father."
"Even the brothers can only bow down in front of the prince, and dare not cross the line between legitimate and illegitimate children."
"Let's not talk about the gender issue first. If he is not a legitimate child, he will not be able to win the support of the people. Why doesn't the King of Yue register his female crown prince under the name of the Queen? At least it can be put on the table."
He said without losing any sound.
The ceremonial officer also replied: "Your Highness, mixed blood cannot be changed by name."
"You are the legitimate prince of the queen, and the biological brother of the Crown Prince from the same mother."
"Of course no other prince or princess can compare to you."
The prince was coaxed into feeling completely relaxed.
The proudest thing in his life was that he crawled out of the queen's belly and became the most beloved youngest son of King Silla.
Except for the Crown Prince, none of his other brothers and sisters are as noble as he is.
Xinluo’s concept of legitimate and illegitimate children is ingrained in her bones.
As they discussed without restraint, the official from the Ministry of Rites smiled and turned back, replying in fluent Sinluo language: "In our Da Yue, the only time we care about the other party's bloodline is when we breed dogs."
Silla's Prince and Ceremonial Officer: !!!
To talk badly about the prince of Yue Dynasty in the territory of Yue Dynasty is like touching the cub of a tiger in front of it.
The ceremonial officer ignored their fear and asked with a fake smile: "I have long heard of Xinluo's 'Follow the Mother Method'."
In the past, officials from the Ministry of Rites might not know the languages of these small countries, but since Bei Jingchu implemented the professional selection of talents, those who know multiple languages have priority in entering the court.
There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the six departments.
The official from the Ministry of Rites stroked his chin and thought, "In the past, Silla did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. It seems that there were too many nobles and the national treasury could not afford to support them."
"The previous kings of Xinluo came up with a 'good idea' to exclude children born to non-marriage wives from the nobility, making them obey their mothers instead of their fathers, and treating them as slaves."
The official from the Ministry of Rites sighed and said, "How cruel! They abuse their own children just to save money. The fundamental reason is that they are incompetent."
"It's obvious that the father is too poor, and conversely, the child is of lowly descent and unworthy of his raising."
Anyone smart enough could tell that he was saying that it was his father who was incompetent, but he was clearly referring to the entire Xinluo country.
The prince blushed and shouted back, "We are not poor!"
The official from the Ministry of Rites looked him up and down and said in a flattering manner, "The clothes that the prince is wearing must be made of the most luxurious material of Silla, right?"
The prince began to feel proud. After all, he was coming to pay homage to the superior country. The King of Sinluo gave him their best clothes to show off Sinluo's wealth to other vassal states.
The official from the Ministry of Rites changed the subject and said, "What a pity! This kind of material is kept in the royal storehouse and is given as a reward to slaves."
"There's no way I can get on top of a princess or a prince."
Prince Silla looked at the satin on his body with an expression of doubt about life.
He believed what the officials from the Ministry of Rites said.
Along the way, he was dazzled by the wealth of the Yue Dynasty.
Their Xinluo capital is not even as prosperous as a county, and the posthouse in the capital of Yuechao is more comfortable than their palace, but it's a little smaller.
