Chapter 1431 First Tea Delivery
The person who brought in the tea was actually Shi Qianquan. She had changed into a Tang Dynasty palace dress, which gave her a unique charm.

Shi Qianquan had already had dinner with Li Ye three times, so they were not strangers to each other, but this was the first time that they were alone together. This was obviously arranged by Queen Dugu Xinyue.

Shi Qianquan's pretty face flushed, she put down the teacup and turned to leave. Li Ye smiled and said, "Wait a moment!"

Shi Qianquan stopped and asked nervously, "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

"Don't be afraid, sit down and let's talk."

Shi Qianquan sat down slowly, glanced at Li Ye with his bright eyes, then lowered his head quickly, a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm not scared, I'm just not mentally prepared, so the Queen asked me to serve tea!"

The Sogdian women in the Tang Dynasty were famous for their passion and unrestrainedness. Later, due to the influence of religious culture, they gradually became introverted and shy.

Li Ye smiled and said, "We often drink in restaurants. The Hu Ji who shuttles between restaurants are all enthusiastic and lively, full of energy. I like them too. I hope you can also be generous and enthusiastic, and not be too restrained and introverted."

Shi Qianquan blinked his big eyes and asked cunningly, "How many Hu Ji have you met, Your Majesty?"

"It depends on how you make contact. Normally speaking, there are many contacts, but if you go a little deeper, there are only two."

"Is one of them Jinshan Ling?"

On the way, Shi Qianquan heard Li Chenghua telling the story of the emperor and Jin Shanling, which really surprised her. It turned out that the Holy Maiden of Light Jin Shanling had also had love affairs, and the other party was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ye nodded, "She is the one who has the closest contact."

"What about the other one?"

"The other one was a Hu Ji from Anguo. She was the first woman I kissed. I was only fourteen that year."

Shi Qianquan covered his mouth and laughed, "Your Majesty, you can kiss a woman at the age of fourteen?"

Li Ye smiled and nodded, "What about you? Do you have any?"

"there has never been!"

Shi Qianquan said shyly: "Although we are warm and welcoming, the first time is with our own husbands."

"Would you like to try it, like now?"

Shi Qianquan smiled and said, "Don't try to seduce me. I won't fall for your trick."

"Okay! Let's talk about something serious. How have you been living here these days? Are you not used to it?"

"I'm not unaccustomed to it. I live very well here. Although the climate is different, I prefer the climate of the Tang Dynasty. I like the humidity here. It makes my skin feel comfortable."

"I heard that you live with Qingyu. Have you looked elsewhere to find a palace you like?"

"Your Majesty, I like Liu Sanjie very much. Can I live with her in the future?" Shi Qianquan said in a low voice.

"This is up to the Queen to decide! I usually don't care about this kind of thing. If you want to stay, I won't let you go!"

"The Queen has agreed. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Just say thank you casually?" Li Ye said with a smile.

Shi Qianquan blushed and quickly stood up, "I won't disturb your majesty, I'll take my leave first!"

She stood up to leave, and Li Ye grabbed her hand. Li Ye stood up, pulled her back to him, put his arms around her waist, and slowly moved closer to her face.

Shi Qianquan knew that this moment had come. She felt both excited and nervous, and slowly closed her eyes.

Li Ye lowered his head and kissed her decisively, then held her in his arms.

Shi Qianquan was slowly melted and intoxicated by the deep kiss. She couldn't help but hug Li Ye's neck and kiss him back with all her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ye gently let her go and whispered in her ear, "Go! Have a good dream tonight."

Shi Qianquan nodded gently, turned around and walked a few steps, then looked back at Li Ye with affection, his eyes rolling, bit his lip, and ran away quickly. Li Ye sat down slowly, savoring this sweet kiss, and his heartstrings were also moved by this beautiful and passionate foreign woman.

Shi Qianquan sat down in front of her dressing table, her cheeks still burning. She cooled her face with her hands, and the intoxicated scene reappeared in her eyes.

She was held tightly in the arms of her future husband, with a strong masculine scent and a kiss between a man and a woman that she had never tasted before. Ah! It was so wonderful that it made her soul fly to heaven.

If a kiss is so beautiful, what would it be like to have sex in bed?
At this moment, Shi Qianquan was so eager for the wedding night to come.

At this time, Qingyu looked at her at the door and smiled, "What beautiful things are you thinking about?"

Shi Qianquan was startled, and then she realized that Qingyu was looking at her at the door with a smile on her face. She immediately said shyly, "Why didn't you say anything, Third Sister? You scared me."

Qingyu came over, put his arm around her shoulders from behind and said with a smile, "Did you go to serve tea just now?"

"How did Third Sister know?"

"Originally I was supposed to serve tea today, but my elder sister told me to take a rest today, so I guessed that I asked you to serve tea instead."

Shi Qianquan lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Is there any special meaning in sending tea?"

"Of course, this is an opportunity to communicate with my husband in private. He is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he will have more and more concubines. He dotes on my second sister so much. I don't know when it will be his turn to visit us. So sending tea is a rare opportunity for communication."

"Then I'm taking up Third Sister's place by delivering tea today."

"What does it matter? Get pregnant sooner after you get married. When you have your own child, you won't be alone anymore. Growing up with your own child is the happiest time in my life."

Shi Qianquan nodded gently, and she continued: "I asked His Majesty today if I could live with my third sister, and he said he had no objection."

Liu Qingyu smiled and said, "That's what I said, but it's unlikely. You are named Zhaoyuan, the ninth concubine. According to the palace rules, concubines cannot live with concubines. The queen will not break the rules. Although I also hope to have a companion, it is impossible in reality."

Shi Qianquan showed disappointment on her face and sighed, "So that's how it is. Where will I live then?"

"It should be the Pearl Mirror Palace. I see they are decorating it. It should be your new house. Let's go take a look together tomorrow."

Shi Qianquan nodded slightly. Zhujing Palace, this name is good.

Liu Qingyu put his arm around her shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't be disappointed. In late November, we will go to Huaqing Palace to spend the winter. There are no rules there, and we can live together then."

"That's great!" Shi Qianquan's mood improved again.

The next morning, Li Ye met with Ma Lin, accompanied by Guo Ziyi. The three of them were all generals, so there was no need to say empty words, but to see the real results directly in front of the sand table in the staff room.

Li Ye pointed to the sea route with a wooden pole and said, "The court's grain preparations will be transported by sea. Large ships with a capacity of 10,000 dan will deliver 300,000 dan of grain to Juehua Island, and then small boats with a capacity of 1,000 dan will transport it from Juehua Island to Liucheng. The same goes for various supplies. They will be transported by water and delivered to Juehua Island before the ice forms. General Ma will lead an army of 100,000 to arrive in Liucheng before the end of November, and then prepare for war in Liucheng. Together with the 10,000 troops supported by Liaodong, it will be a total of 130,000 troops."

Ma Lin is now the chief priest of the Yanwu Hall. He thought he would be appointed the Minister of War and was looking forward to it. However, he did not expect that the emperor wanted to give the position to Bai Xiaode, which made him disappointed. Yesterday, Guo Ziyi sent someone to inform him to prepare to meet the emperor today, and he became excited again.

Ma Lin understood that the emperor was going to let him lead the army to destroy the Shiwei tribe. He became excited again and stared at the sand table in deep thought for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, I think the enemy is likely to attack from multiple directions this time."

Li Ye nodded, "This is also what I think. I hope that this time, Lord Ma will not be impatient or hasty in deploying troops, and that the time will be extended a little. I don't care about Bayegu and Kulubo, but the Shiwei tribe must be annihilated completely!"

At this time, Guo Ziyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to support the Sijie tribe? This time, you can let them go together."

Li Ye was a little hesitant. He wanted to support the pro-Tang Sijie tribe, but Sijie was a little too far to the east!

Guo Ziyi understood the emperor's concerns and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the grasslands are our home. Distance has never been a problem for the Sijie tribe."

"I'm worried that we won't make it in time. It will soon be November and the grassland will soon enter winter. Wouldn't it be a bit late to come back tomorrow when spring arrives?"

"Didn't your majesty ask General Ma to fight patiently for a longer time? Sijie can catch up with the later stages of the battle and perhaps cut off Shiwei's escape route to the west!"

Guo Ziyi's last words convinced Li Ye, and Li Ye nodded, "You can let Sijie join the war. I have approved it. The Privy Council will be responsible for contacting the other party!"

"I will definitely make arrangements!"
