Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Chapter 80 Wading Through the Water

While the people of the six small countries in the Paracel Islands were enjoying hunting and traveling in the Qiling Mountains, they signed a coexistence treaty with the Dasheng Dynasty.

The six small countries paid tribute to the Da Sheng Dynasty every year and pledged their allegiance. When the six small countries were invaded by neighboring countries, the Da Sheng Dynasty was obliged to send troops to protect the six small countries from invasion in order to achieve the goal of coexistence.

Secondly, the Da Sheng Dynasty traded with the six small countries and opened markets in the counties of the Da Sheng Dynasty closest to the six small countries, promoting economic and trade exchanges between the countries and enhancing the social and economic development among them.

That day, Gao Lanyan came to Lan Qingwu's tent and excitedly told him, "I heard about a fun place. I'm going to take you there today."

Lan Qingwu was hesitant. Ruping had just told her something and she didn't really want to go out.

Gao Lanyan was puzzled. "What's wrong? You don't want to go out and play. The affairs of the six countries are being discussed. We won't be able to play around Qiling Mountain for a few days. I think Qiling Mountain really has spiritual energy. Are you really not going out?"

Ru Ping approached Lan Qingwu and whispered, "Master, go if you want to. How can we keep him away all the time? Just have General Wei take precautions and go quietly. It should be fine."

Lan Qingwu thought about it and realized that it was not worth it for that person, so he asked Gao Lanyan: "Lanlan, what fun place are you talking about?"

Gao Lanyan smiled mysteriously: "It's a singing stream."

Lan Qingwu was actually interested and went there with great enthusiasm, but when he got there he was a little disappointed: "There's no movement here, at least there should be some ding-dong sounds."

Gao Lanyan looked back and forth: "There must be more than a dozen creeks running in all directions. Could it be that I am listening to the sound of the flowing water?"

I saw that these streams intersected in irregular patterns vertically and horizontally, and they flowed in different directions.

While they were studying these streams, Concubine Li, accompanied by her palace maids and guards, slowly walked towards them, obviously coming to see these streams as well.

Ru Ping reminded them softly, and Lan Qingwu and Gao Lanyan looked at Concubine Li. Concubine Li did not salute, but only nodded slightly. Gao Lanyan also nodded in return. Lan Qingwu just glanced at her without moving.

Gao Lanyan whispered, "This Concubine Li relies on being outside the palace and can't even perform the blessing ceremony?"

Lan Qingwu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they are from a family of etiquette?" Maybe they are relying on their distinguished background and are too disdainful to bow to her.

Gao Lanyan chuckled, her almond eyes curved.

Lan Qingwu laughed at her: "Prince Jiang has been following me around like a shadow these past few days."

Gao Lanyan looked at the figure in the distance and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

At this time, Ruping whispered something in Lan Qingwu's ear, and Lan Qingwu's face suddenly turned cold.

Emperor Shenwu was talking with Prince Tuoyan in the inner tent. After the discussion on state affairs, Prince Tuoyan thought of Princess Yunqi and looked slightly worried. "Your Majesty, I want to ask you something. Are you really...?"

"Tuoyan," Emperor Shenwu interrupted him, "My harem is relatively peaceful. I don't want to throw a thunderbolt into it."

Prince Tuoyan paused for a moment, "Your Majesty's description is quite true. Yunqi is indeed being unreasonable. I will control her properly."

Emperor Shenwu raised the wine glass in his hand and said: "Let's take it back and leave it to your country of Shayue."

Prince Tuoyan quickly raised his glass and drank it all.

When Prince Tuoyan left, only money was left in the account. Emperor Shenwu then asked Li Xiang, "Did Concubine Yi go out today?"

Li Xiang replied, "Yes, Ru Ping came to tell me that she was going to see the singing stream."

Emperor Shenwu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can you sing?"

Qian thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, this singing stream can trap people."

Lan Qingwu and Gao Lanyan were indeed trapped. They just went close to the stream to watch the fish swimming in the stream. When they came to their senses, the stream had already surrounded them as if it were alive. After a while, they were in the center of the stream. Lady Li, who was not far away, was also startled and looked around helplessly.

Lan Qingwu and Gao Lanyan exchanged a glance, and Lan Qingwu said, "Can this stream sing? It must be able to perform magic."

Lan Qingwu had just finished speaking when the stream seemed to respond. The sounds of flowing water, birds singing, and the tinkling of clear spring water were pleasant to the ears.

Gao Lanyan suddenly realized: "So this is how you sing."

After she finished speaking, another burst of music from nature rang out.

Lan Qingwu looked at the stone road under his feet: "I'm afraid the rocks will be swallowed by the stream soon. Let's see how to get out."

Ru Ping and Lady Li's maid Tao Li were running over from not far away.

Ru Ping was also stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, and Tao Li was already panicking: "My lady, I will go to find you." After saying that, she waded towards Concubine Li.

Ru Ping didn't know what to do for a moment. Lan Qingwu had already ordered her, "Don't move. Even if you come over, it won't help. Go report to General Wei and have him send someone to find some stones and pave them in the river."

Taoli had already crossed the stream and supported Lady Li: "My lady, the stream is not deep, but you must not lose your manners."

If a concubine returned to her tent with half her dress soaking wet, countless people would see her and who knows what would be said. Lan Qingwu naturally knew this; being trapped was a minor matter, but losing etiquette was a major one.

Ru Ping took the order and left. After a while, Ru Han and Lan Hao also ran over. Ru Han said worriedly, "Master, please wait a moment."

Jiang Qi was wandering around nearby. When he heard Ru Ping and Wei Yanting report this, he turned around and went to the stream to find Gao Lanyan.

Jiang Qi looked at the stream for a while, then walked into it decisively. He walked to Gao Lanyan, picked her up horizontally, and soon returned to the stone road.

Lady Li stared at it in amazement, her eyes revealing genuine envy.

Gao Lanyan couldn't help but look back at Lan Qingwu: "Qingqing, wait a moment."

Lan Qingwu nodded helplessly. It was the only way. After all, her husband was not here.

Wei Yanting came to check on the stream and said, "This... I've never encountered anything like this before. I've sent people to look for stones. Please wait a moment, my two young masters."

Lan Qingwu looked at the gurgling water flowing around him. It was truly a unique scenery. "Thank you, General Wei."

The guards following Concubine Li also hurriedly asked people to find stones.

As the stream gradually approached Lan Qingwu and others, the space where they stood became narrower and narrower. Lan Qingwu couldn't help but think that it didn't matter if his shoes and socks got wet, so he could just step in the water in the stream.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the distance. When Lan Qingwu looked up again, he saw the Shenwu Emperor dismounting and heading straight for the stream.

Wei Yanting and the others quickly knelt down to pay their respects. Lan Qingwu was standing in the stream and was about to bend her knees when the Emperor Shenwu said, "Don't move! Don't get your skirt wet."

Lan Qingwu looked at him across the stream: "Your Majesty..."

Concubine Li stiffly straightened her bent knees. If the emperor came, would he be able to take her away? After all, she couldn't let her skirt get wet.

Emperor Shenwu stepped directly into the stream without stopping. The sunlight shone on his angular face, casting a layer of golden light on him. He was wearing a black dragon robe, and the golden dragon on it seemed to come alive.

Lan Qingwu stood in the middle of the stream, watching the emperor wading in. The Shenwu Emperor treaded on the water to approach her, picked her up, and walked out of the stream while teasing, "I suspected that there was a beautiful woman trapped in the middle of the water, so I came to bring her out."

Lan Qingwu had already wrapped his arms around Emperor Shenwu's neck and leaned into the emperor's arms with peace of mind.
