Flowing Years

Chapter 36

Not surprised to see that the emperor has withdrawn his disguise, changed his clothes and sat in the inner room.

"Brother, Bai Yunhan is in Yue Changming's hands, right?" Bu Jing asked the emperor.

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

"What is Luo Na waiting for with a truce now?" Bu Jing asked.

"I will not let the enemy country have a chance to stand up." The emperor's eyes were very calm.

"The country is broken, and the descendants of the royal family are gone. How much power can they incite? Changing the name of the country will not cause them any loss, and they will live the same way, right?" Don't worry.

"No," the emperor shook his head, "Qilan, you are only suitable to be a merchant. For merchants and common people, it is more meaningful to obtain a stable environment than to support the old lord. For those soldiers, it is more meaningful for those who are obsessed with the monarch. loyal."

He frowns in surprise.

"You see, the Emperor Yuxia is too cowardly and lacking in bravery, yet his royal family and soldiers still support him so much, even if he unjustly killed a loyal minister, Luo Yunhai." Thinking of Luo Yunhai, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant for Emperor Yunxia.For such a talented and loyal subject, the Emperor Yunxia directly beheaded him just because of his cowardice.

"So, Bai Zezhi can't stay too?" Bu Jing asked.

"It's good to be able to use it for me." The emperor paused and said.In fact, he didn't understand why he paused, was it because he became interested in that young general?

"What about King Ning'an?" He looked at the emperor without surprise.

"That's his fate, I have my own arrangements." The emperor sneered and walked out of the inner room.

Bu Jing looked at the back of the emperor's brother and felt tired for the first time.The last sentence has been changed from "I" to "Zhen", which shows that my brother is angry.I have never felt at a loss because of the arranged road. What I get must be exchanged for what I lost. But this time, what should I exchange for what I want to get?

Seeing the emperor coming out of the inner room, Qiyuan said with cold eyes, "What's wrong with the second brother?"

The emperor frowned when he heard the word "Second Brother".Because of this "Second Brother", Qilan softened towards him?It seems that King Ning An has some tricks, and he managed to win over his younger brother in just a few days.

The emperor threw a tael of gold into the hands of the shopkeeper: "All of them."

Qiyuan took the ready-made clothes wrapped and delivered by the store, feeling a little helpless.As soon as Qiyuan walked out of the clothing store, Xiao Linzi, who was waiting outside the store, stepped forward to take it.Seeing the cold expression on the emperor's face when he walked out of the shop, Xiao Linzi was naturally a little scared.Looking at his master's face again, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Qiyuan calmed down after going out for a while, and the emperor's face changed after a while, so it couldn't be his fault.Thinking of the emperor's kindness a few days ago, he thought about it, and took Xiao Linzi to see the prosperity of this small capital.

As he walked, Qiyuan entered an ink studio.

Going in head-on, I saw several calligraphy and paintings hanging, and Qiyuan couldn't help admiring them carefully.At the end, Qiyuan saw that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were neatly arranged on the counter, and with a sweep of his eyes, he saw the inkstone he liked.On one side of the inkstone is engraved the poem "Plum Blossoms" written by Layman Meiyuan, on which a few branches of ancient plums protrude.The body of the inkstone is smooth and delicate with a slight oily luster, it is a good inkstone.

Qiyuan smiled slightly, and just as he stretched out his hand to reach over, he saw a pair of luxuriant hands taking the inkstone.Qiyuan looked up and saw a veiled woman.

Bai Fuqu looked at the half-stretched hand of the person next to him and then retracted it, guessing that he also took a fancy to this inkstone, so she looked over and said, "My lord also likes this inkstone?"

"The stone quality of this inkstone is fine and firm, and there is also the 'pinmei' of Layman Meiyuan, which is a good inkstone." Qiyuan said.

"Then give it to you, Young Master." Bai Fuqu looked into Qiyuan's slightly blue eyes, knowing that he was definitely not from Lixia, and besides, he was not particularly fond of the good inkstone, so he handed the inkstone over in a friendly manner.

"No," Qiyuan blocked it, "Since the girl gets it first, it should belong to the girl." Qiyuan swept his eyes, reached for a blue-purple lotus pond inkstone without any inscription, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This way The inkstone is also a good inkstone." There are no celebrities and laymen to inscribe with a pen, but it is made of high-quality stone, Qi Yuan stroked the inkstone with his fingertips, and smiled.

Behind them, Luo Anchang only glanced at it, then turned to look at Chen's scroll.

Bai Zezhi watched silently behind them without interrupting.He knew that this was King Ning'an, the idle prince of Mosang Kingdom, and Bai Zezhi was stunned by the indifference of his innocence, as he was not at all like his queen mother who was always fighting for favor.

"Shopkeeper, let's calculate these things." Bai Zezhi said.

Bai Zezhi paid the silver and left Mo Studio with his mother, younger sister and Luo Anchang.

From the beginning to the end, Qiyuan never raised his eyes to look at others, he just immersed himself in his own world, reading calligraphy, painting and inkstone, enjoying himself.

In the private room of the inn, Emperor Mosang listened to the report from the hidden guard, raised his eyebrows and drank.

"He's a leisurely prince, and he's at ease when he's at the border of Xiaxia." The emperor sneered.

The dark guard bowed his head and remained silent.

"It's this temper," the emperor's eyes narrowed, "I don't know if it's true or not."

The dark guard remained silent.

"Go down."

After half an hour, Qiyuan was led by the guards to the elegant room.

"Second brother." Qiyuan walked in, and found that the emperor had a cold face and didn't respond, he hesitated and saluted: "Your Majesty, Wanan!"

"Sit down." The emperor said lightly.

Afterwards, the guard asked the servants to serve the food.

Qiyuan's meal was very restrained, just like the day he left Mosang.Qiyuan didn't understand how the emperor, who was quite gentle a few days ago and often had a gentle look, became so cold all of a sudden when he arrived in the capital of Xiaxia.It seemed that the gentle second brother was all his imagination.After thinking about it, this is the capital, and the emperor will soon face the emperor of the enemy country with the posture of a defeated country, so naturally he will not be in a good mood.

At this time, the servant brought up two servings of bean curd.

"What is this?" asked the emperor.All the meals he ordered were presented, but this one was not included.

Qiyuan was taken aback when he heard the words, looked at the emperor, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"This is the Xiaoxia snack that King Ning'an bought from outside, and his subordinates have tried it." Ser replied, every dish must be tested to see if it is poisonous before it is served.

"Yes." Qi Yuan lowered his head.

Emperor Qilie looked at the slippery milky white snack with some golden osmanthus on it, and took a bite.The sweetness of the golden osmanthus does not conceal the inherent green taste of the bean curd.Qi Lie doesn't like vegetarian food, but prefers meat. He doesn't like the green taste of plants, and he doesn't like sweets.Qi Lie frowned slightly involuntarily, and put aside the tofu curd he had tasted.

Seeing the emperor's reaction, Qiyuan's heart sank.

After eating, the emperor returned to his room.

"My subordinates, please forgive me!" Se knelt down. Seeing King Ning'an's unnatural expression, he realized that there was something wrong. Only after asking the hidden guard did he realize that he had made a mistake.

"What's the matter?" asked the emperor.

"King Ning'an said that he bought it specially for His Majesty. His subordinates tried it and it was not poisonous. The hidden guards followed him all the way and found no problems. It was just his admiration." Se regretted, "I don't know what happened just now. Only after asking the hidden guards who followed before did I know that Master Lan took King Ning An to eat this snack."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, Qilan brought Qiyuan to eat snacks?This brother is really messing around!

Se buried his head and waited for the emperor's punishment, but heard that the emperor unexpectedly did not punish him.

"I want to see, what will he do? What can he do?" the emperor said.He managed to win over the "emperor", but found out that he was not the real emperor, what would he do?Use this secret to win over the Emperor of Xia?Or should he win over himself, Emperor Mo Sangzhen?So what if you know?Qi Lie thinks that at this point, nothing can disrupt his plan.
