The White-haired Queen
Chapter 18 Exchange of Secrets
Gu Changfeng raised his eyes and said, "Is there any more news about Yue'er? I am all ears."
Wen Lanyue raised her eyebrows and said mysteriously, "It's a matter of state."
Gu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Oh! Yue'er, do you want to reward or punish a certain official?"
Wen Lanyue pursed her lips and kept it a secret, saying, "It has something to do with the Regent."
Gu Changfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, so it seems that Yue'er wants to promote me?"
Wen Lanyue rolled her eyes and said, "It has something to do with the military uniform you are wearing."
Gu Changfeng frowned and said, "I am already the regent king, I don't care about generals or not."
Wen Lanyue shook her head and said speechlessly: "I know. What I want to say is that there are unusual movements in the Northern Cang Kingdom. What do you think, Regent?"
Gu Changfeng frowned and asked with a little surprise: "Empress Dowager, how did you know?" He himself only received the news from the spies yesterday that the Beicang Kingdom purchased horse harnesses. Except for him and General Lin, no one else could have known about this so early.
Wen Lanyue held her cheek and said proudly, "I have a brilliant plan, but it's a secret."
Gu Changfeng chuckled and said, "Yue'er has a secret? Then can you share your secret with me?"
Wen Lanyue retorted: "No, secrets are for exchange, not sharing. Today you took me to the Forging Department, and I have shared with you the secret of my amnesia." Wen Lanyue deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "I".
Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Okay, then Yiyue'er, then this king...oh, then Yue'er and I will exchange a secret."
Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and asked, "What secret do you want to exchange? I want to see if it's worth it."
Gu Changfeng said: "I will tell you the preferences of the best blacksmith in Shangxie Country in exchange for your secret."
Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and said, "We can exchange a secret, but it's not worth it for me to exchange this secret with you. I'll exchange another secret with you."
Gu Changfeng laughed again and said, "It seems that Yue'er has more than one secret, but many secrets."
Wen Lanyue raised her neck and said proudly: "Of course, everyone has their own privacy."
Gu Changfeng gently patted Wen Lanyue on the forehead and said, "Okay, I respect Yue'er's privacy. Yue'er can talk about it whenever she wants."
After a pause, Gu Changfeng continued, "The best blacksmith in Shangxie Country is named Jing Li. He is young, handsome, and has first-class blacksmithing skills. His greatest hobby is designing and collecting various patterns."
When Wen Lanyue heard the name Jing Li, she couldn't help but recite it silently in her heart: "Jing Li, Jing Li, it sounds similar to koi. Such an interesting name, this person must be interesting too, right?"
Gu Changfeng looked at Wen Lanyue's expression and said half seriously and half jokingly: "If Yue'er has any special design drawings, maybe he can be bribed."
Wen Lanyue asked curiously, "Oh, really? Then is a stick figure like mine considered a special pattern?"
Gu Changfeng answered without hesitation: "Yes, although it is only a few strokes and very simple, it is very novel and a new technique. He will be interested, but it is still far from being bought."
Wen Lanyue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll tell you a secret." She cleared her throat and continued, "Do you know why I made this decoration? I'm planning to open a bank, and this will be my mascot."
Gu Changfeng immediately asked: "Wait, wait, what is a money house and what is the mascot of the village? Why do you have so many new terms and new ideas now?" After saying that, he reached out to touch Wen Lanyue's forehead. His temperature was normal, so why was he talking nonsense?
Wen Lanyue patted Gu Changfeng's hand, her heart was beating fast, was she exposed? Thinking of the method to deal with her mother and master, she said coquettishly: "Brother Changfeng, Yue'er is fine, I just want to do something well, develop Shangxie Kingdom well, and take on the responsibility of the queen mother."
Gu Changfeng frowned even more tightly. After losing her memory, Yue'er became more multifaceted. She was more sensible, mature, and concerned about the overall situation than before. He didn't know whether this kind of Yue'er was a good thing or a bad thing for him.
Wen Lanyue went on to explain: "During the days when I was unconscious, I seemed to see my father, the king, who told me, 'The people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important', and asked me to work hard."
"I also dreamed that when I was a child, my mother asked me to practice calligraphy and promised to reward me if I did well. When my handwriting was quite good, my mother handed me over to a master and told me that the best reward was to let me study hard with the master."
"I also dreamed of myself. Sometimes I was traveling and wandering around the world; sometimes I was reviewing memorials and making decisions about the country..." Having said that, Wen Lanyue licked his lips and closed his mouth.
How could this be a dream? She made it up. Her memory when she was unconscious was that she was racing. Wen Lanyue hated lying because lying was like drawing a circle. If she wanted to make the lie complete, she had to make up one lie after another.
But she knew that if she told everyone that she was a soul traveler, they would definitely treat her as a monster or a lunatic. This was a white lie, and it would not harm anyone.
Hearing this, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but take Wen Lanyue's hand, patted it twice, and said, "I had a great chat with Yue'er today, and learned a lot from her. I will definitely remember the principle of 'people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important.'"
"No matter what Yue'er becomes, she is still my Yue'er, and I will definitely make her fall in love with me again."
"Now, can Yue'er introduce the bank and its mascot to me?"
Wen Lanyue thought for a moment and briefly introduced: "A bank is a place where people save and borrow money. Whether you save or borrow money, you will get interest."
"The mascot of a village is an auspicious object, just like my 'Bull Market', which means everything goes well and the bull market continues. It's a good omen, right?"
Gu Changfeng gently touched the tip of Wen Lanyue's nose with his index finger and said, "My Yue'er is quite interesting."
Then, Gu Changfeng said patiently: "However, I think Yue'er's mascot is not forged, but cast."
Wen Lanyue blinked a few times. To be honest, although they lived in the 21st century and the technologies of casting and forging were quite advanced, she majored in finance, so she was completely confused about casting and forging.
I had some impression of the word "forging" because I had seen it when I was a female general in my first life.
Wen Lanyue asked hurriedly: "Can the place we are going to today make this village mascot?" Any cat that can catch mice is a good cat, whether it is black or white. It doesn't matter whether it is forged or cast, as long as this mascot can be made, it's fine.
Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "No problem."
At this time, a male voice came from outside the carriage, "Reporting to the Regent, the carriage cannot pass ahead."
