The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 211 The Messenger Enters Beijing

Zhen Qingping woke up leisurely, in a trance, he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or really woke up. The lavender bed curtain above his head was really strange, and there was a smell of ginger in his nose?
He turned his head to the side and stretched out his hand to lift his quilt. He caught a glimpse of his clothes from the corner of his eye, and he paused for a moment. Did he change his clothes?
Hearing the movement, Xiao Yu put down the bowl and walked over, stretched out his hand to press the brocade quilt, pushed it lightly, and pushed Zhen Qingping back into the quilt.

"Ayu? Where am I?"

Zhen Qingping's voice was so hoarse, Xiao Yu frowned and poked his forehead, it was really hot, "Yunlai Pavilion, I reserved a room for my little uncle here for a month, you should live here for the time being , this place is quiet and elegant, no one will disturb you, you take care of your body and adjust your mood."

Zhen Qingping was a little surprised, but didn't ask further, "Thank you, Ayu."

Knowing that he didn't want to go back to Duke Ding's mansion, he specially prepared a room here for himself.

A Yu looked indifferent, but in fact he was more meticulous than anyone else.

Zhen Qingping lay on the soft quilt, her mind relaxed a little, "It's my fault, I took you to the rain together, and I want you to clean up the mess for me."

"What did the little uncle say? If you really feel guilty, take care of yourself. Neither I nor Qingshan want to see you sick. I have already asked people to make medicine. After a while, the little uncle must drink it."

Zhen Qingping's eyes were gentle and calm with a little smile, "Okay, listen to A Yu."

Seeing that he was still in a peaceful state of mind, Xiao Yu didn't say much. After all, he was 20 years old, so he couldn't ask her 13-year-old child to comfort her. If she talked too much, Zhen Qingping would feel bad about it, right?

Guessing that he wants to be alone now, Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Young uncle, if you need anything, you can call out. There are maids outside the door. Let them get what you need. Don't worry about money, medicine. Someone will deliver it on time, and I have someone prepare the clothes. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the palace first, and my little uncle will rest earlier."

"Okay, Ah Yu will go back to the palace earlier, don't worry about me, I...just be quiet for a while."

Xiao Yu took a deep look at him, Zhen Qingping was no longer in high spirits like when he was in Datong Academy, now his hair was slightly disheveled, his cheeks were flushed sickly, his lips were dry, his face looked haggard, but those eyes were more It was brighter before, and there was something more in there.

She nodded slightly, turned around and was about to leave, when Zhen Qingping suddenly opened her mouth to stop her: "Ah Yu——if you see the dean, please give him a message for me."

Xiao Yu turned his face sideways to show that he was listening: "What are you talking about?"

Zhen Qingping smiled relievedly, and sighed: "Let's just say that I've figured out my name, so I'll call it Qingshan."

Xiao Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded: "Okay."

……

After Xiao Yu returned to the palace with Tsing Yi, Jun Rong inevitably pulled her to ask her whereabouts, Xiao Yu briefly talked about the previous incident, Jun Rong sighed: "The confidantship between the two of them is really touching, They are willing to use the other party's name as their own characters."

Xiao Yu fiddled with the leaves of the orchid by the window, his eyes were far away: "Probably he wants to live with Nanqingshan's share."

"Ah?" Jun Rong didn't understand the meaning of the words.

Xiao Yu did not explain.

She turned around and looked at Jun Rong, "When I entered the palace, I saw a man wearing a foreign costume, is it the envoy from another country?"

Jun Rong nodded and sat down on the side of the couch, "I was about to tell you about this, and I received news from various post stations that the envoys from the Wind Country and the Cloud Country are about to arrive in Kyoto, and there are still about seven or eight days to go. , and the people sent by Wenzhu, a small border country that is closer, have arrived, but it is raining heavily today, and it is inconvenient for them to enter the palace, so I will let them settle down in the post house."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Wenzhu is a small country at the junction of Dagan and Yunguo, and it is difficult to survive in the cracks. This time, I may not have the same thoughts as Yunguo. After all, Wenzhu is closer to Dagan. If you are smarter, I will seek the protection of Daqian."

"You mean they're here to make peace?"

Jun Rong fiddled with his fingers, thoughtfully, "According to historical records, Wenzhu is a small country with an open atmosphere, simple folk customs, people live and work in peace and contentment, and most of the rulers have no ambitions, and they have lived in peace with Dagan for many years. In history, Wenzhu There are very few records of rebellion, so it can be said that they are very peaceful, so they can survive between the two big countries."

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head: "Not only that, if Wen Zhu had no ability to protect himself, he would have been annexed by the ambitious Dagan or Yun Kingdom long ago."

She dipped her fingertips in some tea and drew a simple map on the small mahogany table.

"Wenzhu's terrain is steep and surrounded by mountains. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The whole country is composed of three cities, which form a three-legged posture to defend each other, each occupying a natural danger. If Daqian or Yunguo rashly attacks Not to mention the benefits, even if we take Wenzhu with great effort, it is far away from the capitals of the two countries, it is difficult to manage, and the products are poor, at most, we can dig a little more gems, but it is of no great use."

"From a long-term point of view, it's not worthwhile to go to war if you can't make ends meet. The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and it's easy to breed tigers. It's better to keep Wen Zhu. With him around, if Dagan wants to attack Yunguo, he has to weigh the middle. Wenzhu, and vice versa."

Jun Rongmao suddenly realized, clapped his palms and smiled admiringly, "Teacher is worthy of being a tutor, he always sees things more thoroughly than me."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and gently wiped the table with his fingertips, seemingly unintentionally said: "Your Majesty knows that the two countries have a good relationship, what is the easiest way?"

Jun Rong was startled: "What?"

"Marriage."

Xiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at him jokingly, "Believe it or not, Your Majesty, there must be a young girl among Wen Zhu's envoys this time."

Junrong: "..."

"Marriage, is it with me?"

He pointed at himself hesitantly, Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise?"

"But I'm only... ten years old, isn't it too early?"

Xiao Yu smiled: "No, His Majesty will be 11 years old in a few days."

Junrong: "..."

Is there a big difference?

He looked at Xiao Yu tangled, and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her calm expression, why did the Tai Tuo seem to not care at all?

"Does the Taifu want me to marry Wenzhu?"

Jun Rong asked cautiously, and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Xiao Yu looked at him with his hands on his cheeks, "Of course, His Majesty is in charge of matters of marriage. If you like it, you can marry anyone. If you don't like it, we can find another way to get along."

"I don't want to, and I don't like it."

Junrong was firm and refused without even thinking about it.

Xiao Yu was startled: "Your Majesty is still young, no one has seen it, why don't you like it?"
