Book with Emperor

After sending Hua Wukong away, Qin Guanyue immediately rushed to the palace with the news. Under the leadership of the inner prisoner, he found Yue Wentian and a girl standing under the plum tree in the imperial garden of Kunyi Palace.

The girl was about 16 years old. She had a rather childish face and was pretty. Her black hair was only tied half into a bun with a lilac hairpin, and half was spread over her chest and back. She only wore lilac-colored hair. The body in the winter coat and coat was trembling slightly, the tip of her nose was red from the cold, and her star-like eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of admiration and joy.

Yue Wentian stood under the tree wearing a pure black cloak with gold piping. His tall and straight figure stood out like a pine and cypress in the snow.There was no expression on his handsome face. He lowered his eyes lightly and looked at the girl in front of him. His lips opened and closed quickly, as if he said something, and then made a gesture to leave.

A trace of disappointment flashed across the girl's face, and she quickly called him out: "Xue Ying came to the palace for the first time, and she doesn't know the way back. It will waste time and worry my grandfather. I want to be bold and join your majesty. Please allow your majesty!"

Yue Wentian's brows furrowed slightly, and when he was about to speak, the internal prison guard beside Qin Guanyue knelt down in a hurry and saluted from a distance: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master has arrived!"

Everyone under the tree turned around and looked around. The people in the palace hurriedly knelt down to see Prince Ming. Only Yue Wentian opened her eyes slightly and strode towards her in a panic.

"...Why are you here?" He said as he took off his cloak and put it on for her, his brows furrowing even more tightly, "You are still wearing such thin clothes."

Qin Guanyue glanced behind him at the girl named Xueying, smiled at her slightly pale face, "I can't come?"

As soon as he said these words, Yue Wentian became really panicked. He hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, I met her halfway, and I came here on business -"

"Why are you panicking? I didn't ask you what you were doing here." Qin Guanyue stood on tiptoes and leaned into his ear and whispered, "Your Majesty... is this a honey trap?"

Her soft voice, accompanied by the familiar scent of fragrant wood and slightly moist breath, fell into his ears. Yue Wentian's ears instantly turned red, and even his face turned red.

His fingers shrank and stretched convulsively, and finally he lowered his head hastily and tied the knot of the cloak for her, saying in a muffled voice: "...it's cold, so wear more clothes."

Qin Guanyue couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she saw his distracted look and red ears, and felt that the man in front of her was very cute.

"Folk girl Zhong Xueying kowtows to meet the Imperial Master." Zhong Xueying took a step forward and bowed her head to kneel in salute, but she heard a sentence coming from above her head, "It's freezing cold, don't kneel down, everyone should stand and talk."

"Thank you, Master Emperor." Zhong Xueying felt a little subtle in her heart, and she was a little more curious about the owner of the gentle voice, so she secretly raised her head and looked over, but she met Qin Guanyue's appraising eyes, and couldn't help but blush. He said: "The daughter of the common people is rude, the emperor and master will forgive me."

Qin Guanyue smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. But why do I feel that you are more respectful to me than to His Majesty?"

As soon as she said these words, there was silence everywhere, and the accompanying maids lowered their heads even further, not daring to express their anger.

Zhong Xueying turned pale and was too frightened to speak. She looked at her with wide eyes and fear, "A civilian girl doesn't dare..."

"Do you know that His Majesty is afraid of me?" Qin Guanyue suddenly smiled and looked at Yue Wentiandao, "It seems that Daxi is the same everywhere. No matter what status a man has, he is always a little henpecked~"

Everyone felt relieved, and the tense atmosphere instantly eased. Zhong Xueying lowered her head in shock, "...that's true."

"If I remember correctly, Miss Zhong should be from the Zhongjijiu tribe?"

"The emperor is wise, Zhong Jijiu is the great-uncle of a civilian daughter. The civilian daughter came to the palace this time to accompany her grandfather to take her uncle's remains back to her hometown."

This matter was brought up by Qin Guanyue, and she naturally knew it, but she did not expect that the head of the Zhong family would bring a little girl here, and this little girl seemed to have taken a liking to her partner.

She glanced at Yue Wentian again, and then looked at Zhong Xueying meaningfully, "Has Miss Zhong ever been married?"

Zhong Xueying mentioned it again, but still replied honestly: "Never married."

"Is there anyone you like?"

Zhong Xueying subconsciously looked at Yue Wentian, who was so frightened that Yue Wentian's muscles tensed up, and he took a step back and stood behind Qin Guanyue.

"No...no." Zhong Xueying said a little disappointed.

"In this way." Qin Guanyue nodded thoughtfully and suddenly asked, "Do you know the Hundred Works Order?"

Several people were stunned. They didn't know why she suddenly asked this. Zhong Xueying was also stunned. The crime of making irresponsible remarks about government affairs could be big or small. She didn't know whether she should reply or not.

Yue Wentian said calmly, "Whatever the Imperial Master asks, you will answer." "Yes!" Zhong Xueying continued, "I heard it when I was in my hometown. The Baigong Order was made by the Imperial Master to revitalize scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce and other industries. decree issued.”

"Yes, one of the plans of the Baigong Order is to rebuild the ancient history books of the dynasty, and there is currently a shortage of people. I once heard Zhong Jijiu say that the ancestors of the Zhong family were descendants of the royal family of Kunyu Kingdom hundreds of years ago, and the family has a collection of books. Wan Qian, your majesty and I now intend to appoint the Zhong family to participate in this matter, so we have specially ordered the head of the Zhong family to bring the most talented people from the family to the capital."

Zhong Xueying's eyes widened and she couldn't believe what she heard, "The Imperial Master wants me to participate in the revision of historical books on behalf of the Zhong family?"

"Exactly." Qin Guanyue's expression became more serious, "This matter is very important. I hope that the Zhong family can use the efforts of the entire clan."

Zhong Xueying's heart was beating as if it was about to burst out of her chest, and she couldn't wait to say: "The daughter of the common people will live up to the high expectations of His Majesty and the Imperial Master!"

After saying this, he no longer hesitated, said goodbye in a hurry, and quickly left with the maid, without mentioning whether he knew the way or not.

Yue Wentian felt relieved when he saw that the person was finally gone. He held Qin Guanyue's cold hand with a calm expression. His broad palm covered her whole hand, transmitting his own warmth bit by bit.

Qin Guanyue was not polite. She turned around and stuffed both of her hands into his chest and took a sip of white mist. "Tell me, what are you doing here? If I remember correctly, this is The scope of the harem.”

"I plan to find a good place for you to live in Xiangyang." He pressed the two cold hands across his chest, raised his eyes and looked at her steadily and said, "But I want you to live with me in Longquan Palace. Or send it to the Cloud Palace."

Jiyun Palace is remote and not big. It is not as good as the house in the harem. Yue Wentian naturally cannot live in it. However, Qin Guanyue originally planned to move into the palace. After all, the distance between Emperor's Palace and Longquan Palace is not far. It's better than a long-distance relationship.

"When I find a clear day, I will move to Longquan Palace." She raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "I will live with you."

"Yeah." Yue Wentian coughed slightly and changed the subject uncomfortably, "Why are you looking for me?"

When Qin Guanyue mentioned this matter, she no longer had any thoughts of flirting, and directly told him the news of Hua Wukong's return and her own speculations. Yue Wentian's expression became serious after hearing this.

"My great-father told me about the Daxia royal family. It is said that among the heirs of the Daxia royal family, the male surnamed Jun is responsible for inheriting the throne, while the female will be sent to the Dragon King Pavilion to check the qualifications for practicing secret arts. If she passes the examination, she will be He changed his surname to Li and was taught by the Dragon King Pavilion until he succeeded as the master of the Dragon King Pavilion."

"The outside world has always regarded the Dragon King Pavilion as a sharp sword in Daxia's hands, but the relationship between the two is quite subtle. Especially after Emperor Ziwei succeeded, the relationship between the royal family and the Dragon King Pavilion became increasingly tense." He said solemnly. , "It is said that Emperor Ziwei is afraid that the Dragon King Pavilion has too much power, and even has a disobedient heart."

"It is said?" Qin Guanyue found it a bit funny, "We are both members of the Daxia royal family, but we have two surnames, and we were raised and taught in two places. How is this different from treason?"

"However, there must be a reason for such a ridiculous thing to exist, and the death of Emperor Ziwei is probably related to this reason." Yue Wentian paused and suddenly remembered something, "The empress may have gotten wind of it, so she went out of her way to Send an envoy to show your goodwill.”

After the five kingdoms were all emperors of the dynasty, the matter of Yue's ascension to the throne was ultimately unjust and unjust. Looking at Canglan, only Xiang Wei sent an envoy to attend the enthronement ceremony. Sheyu also had Qin Guanyue send Bai Chan back safely. As an ally, the Yue clan was officially recognized as a royal family, while the rest of Daxia and Qin were silent.

"Emperor Qin is a smart man. We can see that we don't want to see him even more than the empress, so we didn't even test him to avoid leaking the news. It seems that Qin also wants to get a piece of Daxia's pie. Daxia is in danger."

"The emperor's bloodline, Daxia's secret techniques, and rare secret medicines are all coveted. Today's Daxia is no more than a child in the busy city with a daughter in mind."

"What about us?" He looked at Qin Guanyue, knowing in his heart that Qin Guanyue had already anticipated the current situation in Daxia, so she had made many arrangements in advance. However, based on his understanding of Qin Guanyue, he felt that her purpose was different from the others. Several countries are different.

Qin Guanyue raised her thin lips, "Now Xiangwei is the only one among the five kingdoms. If it were not for Qin's control, the first person Xiangwei would take action would be Sheyu, and then Daxi. Sheyu would also do it after seeing this order. Form an alliance with Yongzhou. Dividing Daxia is indeed a big pie, but most of the people who will share the pie will be Xiangwei, and Xiangwei will be stronger by then."

"Instead of taking the risk of sharing a piece of pie and strengthening the opponent's strength, it is better to take the opportunity to use this piece of pie as bait to chop off the arm of the strongest opponent."

Yue Wentian's idea coincided with hers, "But now the whereabouts of the dragon girl are unknown, it is difficult to join forces. If we don't join forces, it will be difficult to severely damage Xiang Wei."

"Besides Dragon Girl, there is another person in Daxia who is more prestigious."

Yue Wentian thought carefully but couldn't find the right person, so he asked: "Who?"

Qin Guanyue's tone was subtle, her narrow phoenix eyes slightly raised to look at him, "Of course it's Emperor Ziwei."

Yue Wentian showed surprise on his face.
