Lord Quan teases Houmen's poisonous wife

Chapter 327 Episode 001 [-] Empress Manshu
Jinghuashuiju in the capital received the biggest order in history—receiving national-level heavyweights.

Even Lu Xiuyuan himself didn't know who the person who came was, but this was the imperial decree issued by Emperor Kang Jing He Lianjin himself, and he had to obey, so he began to clean up the arrangement half a month in advance.

Since he is a state-level dignitary, he must live in the upper room when he comes. Afraid of neglecting the distinguished guests, Lu Xiuyuan personally led someone to arrange the arrangement, and carefully checked it over and over again to prevent any mistakes.

The windows of that room were clean and clean, without a speck of dust. On the basis of the original luxury, a lot of flashy things were added, making it even more magnificent.

Generally speaking, envoys from other countries live in the post house without exception, and are received by special officials. In order to show the country's national style, the conditions of the post house are very good, but compared with the top floor of Jinghuashuiju Come on, it’s not even a star and a half. After all, staying here for one night is a price that can directly bankrupt a wealthy county-level businessman—of course, except for the capital, the prices on the top floor of the Jinghuashui Jufen Inn in other state capitals are relatively low. Some, this is related to the housing prices in the capital.

After half a month of tossing, the mysterious figure in the legend finally came.

Early in the morning, the Ministry of Rites arranged for officials to greet him at the gate of the city, and the mighty group of people outside the city came directly to Jinghuashuiju under the attention of half of the people in the capital.

It's no wonder that the common people would go out and stretch their necks so actively to watch, because it's so fresh.

What kind of team is this?
The imperial knight guards who cleared the way at the front were all black and capable, with silver-gray cloaks and high ponytails. They were heroic, and they were all... women.

That's right, the majestic imperial guards riding on horseback are all women.

The entire guard of honor, except for a few handsome and elegant men on both sides of the carriage, the rest of the security guards are all women, and each one is majestic, even the coachman is dressed in strong clothes woman.

The one that attracted the most attention was, of course, the golden root chariot with six horses in the center of the guard of honor.

What is a golden root car?
Gold decoration, special ride for emperors.

This is Emperor Luanjia, that's right.

Ninety-nine percent of the people are in a dazed state. They don't know which country's emperor's honor guard this is. You must know that in Nanliang, most of the women from aristocratic families are pampered. There are occasional ones, but they will definitely not be allowed to appear in public like this, let alone using women instead of men to protect the emperor's safety, which is really shocking enough.

But if you look around, you don't think there is any disobedience, because the imperial knight guards are so majestic and heroic, as if they were born for this identity.

Such a fit figure and unsmiling expression made many men in Nanliang feel ashamed.

Those who turn their brains faster will immediately see that this is a country where women are respected, and then they will continue to search for information about this in the thousands of books they have read.

In the end, I made a rough guess. It should be the Qilin Kingdom, which is far away from Nanliang. As the name suggests, their country respects Qilin.

Then, the person sitting in the golden root chariot with six horses driving side by side should be the Empress Qilin.

Lu Xiuyuan is no stranger to the Qilin Kingdom. He remembers that when he first went to sea, due to the lack of technology in the fleet, he encountered a tornado at sea and almost wiped out the whole group. If the people from the Qilin Kingdom did not rescue him, he would have died and returned alive.

Lu Xiuyuan owed a huge favor to Manshu, the empress of Qilin, and he once promised that he would answer any request from the empress.

But at that time, the empress was still a little girl, and it was the priest beside the empress who wrote down the account for her.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, the empress actually came to Nanliang. Lu Xiuyuan was not worried that he would not be able to repay the favor. After all, the other party was the emperor. Even if she didn't think carefully, there would always be cautious people around her. After thoroughly checking his details, it is absolutely impossible to make a request that he cannot fulfill.

What Lu Xiuyuan was more worried about was, did the Empress come to Nanliang really just to get back the favor she had received a few years ago?

But these things don't seem to be his concern.

The leader of the imperial guards jumped off his horse in front of Jinghuashuiju, went to the outside of Jin Gen's car and whispered something, no one heard whether the people inside answered or not, but they were a little closer and vaguely saw The heavy curtain moved.

Of course, the so-called "closer" people are all the people who live in the Lu family in Jinghuashui. As for the common people, they have long been isolated from this street. Emperor Kang Jing seemed to be extra cautious about this matter, and specially arranged Jinyiwei to come To escort the Empress, the inner, outer, and inner floors are all brocade guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists, plus Qilin Kingdom's own royal cavalry guards, it is really impenetrable, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to spy on the Empress Tianyan.

People from the Ministry of Rituals stepped forward to greet the empress, and people from Jinghuashuiju put the footstool on the side of the car shaft in time for the empress to get off.

The thick and complicated curtain was finally lifted, and all the people inside stood out.

Lu Xiuyuan looked sideways.

The person standing on the shaft is dressed in the color of a fire unicorn, with a red three-petal plum on his forehead. His clothes are simple and capable, and his waist is slim. Like the guards of the imperial cavalry, his hair is not decorated too much, but is simply tied with a unicorn headband. He stood up, with hair hanging down to his waist. He was clearly only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had a lot of prestige. As soon as he came out, the faces of the royal guards outside showed reverence. Judging from experience, these imperial knight guards respect the empress from the bottom of their hearts.

As for what the Empress did to convince the subjects of the Qilin Kingdom, it is unknown, but compared to the first time I met a few years ago, she has grown a lot taller.

Lu Xiuyuan restrained his thoughts and stepped forward, "Grassman Lu Xiuyuan, welcome Your Majesty the Empress to Jinghuashui Residence."

Hearing his voice, Manshu lowered his head slightly, "Lu Xiuyuan?"

"It's the grass people."

"It seems like we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Is your leg okay?" She said as she walked down with her hands behind her back. Her steps were different from the reserved and restrained Nanliang women. Instead, they were vigorous and free, and her voice was even more unusual. Delicate and soft, slightly neutral, if you don't look at people and just listen to voices, maybe your little daughter will be teased.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled, "Your Majesty still remembers what happened ten years ago. Caomin is really flattered. Caomin's legs have been cured by a miracle doctor and they are already recovering."

Manshu raised her eyebrows, why did she remember, because she was so impressed with this man.

In the Qilin Kingdom, it is practiced that women dominate outside and men dominate inside, and any matter that requires the use of force and brains is done by women, and men are only responsible for beauty.

Therefore, when he saw Lu Xiuyuan, who had bad legs and went out to sea to do errands, the eight-year-old Manshu thought, which woman is so cruel that she would let such a beautiful man come out to suffer and suffer, and she doesn't know how to feel sorry for her.

Later, the high priest told her that the Qilin country is a country where women are respected, only this family, except for their family, no matter inside or outside the East China Sea, are all patriarchal countries. In those countries, women are the objects of protection, and men are the battlefield The main force of officialdom and even the market.

Manshu found it incredible.

She didn't completely believe the words of the high priest until today when she saw it with her own eyes.

When entering the city gate before, the voices of the people outside were very lively. Manshu took the opportunity to open a slight gap and saw that most of the people onlookers were men. Of course, there were also a few women, but they all shyly hid behind men. Behind her, there is no such thing as the boldness and unrestraint of a woman from the Qilin Kingdom.

Manshu turned his head and glanced at the exquisite and gorgeous Jinghuashuiju, "Is this your territory?"

"Yes."

"You're really amazing." Manshu smiled, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "How about it, meet again after a long absence, go up for a drink or two?"

"Your Majesty has an order, and the grassroots dare not disobey." Lu Xiuyuan's brows and eyes were filled with the joy of seeing an old friend.

The two turned around and walked towards the gate.

The leader of the royal guard wanted to follow.

Manshu seemed to have eyes behind his back, without turning his head, he directly raised his hand and waved it back twice.

The leader of the Imperial Cavalry Guard watched Lu Xiuyuan's back vigilantly, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey the Empress's wishes, and retreated angrily.

Under the leadership of Lu Xiuyuan, Manshu went directly to the top floor, scanned the various fresh designs inside, and said "tsk", "I really want to break your brain to see why there are so many things in it." thing."

There is a wine cellar on the top floor, and Lu Xiuyuan has already brought the best wine here, and said while pouring wine, "Does Your Majesty still like it?"

"Can you say you don't like it?" Manshu took the wine glass he handed over, raised his eyebrows, "It's more gorgeous than my palace, you're trying to make me jealous."

Lu Xiuyuan's top floor is naturally not comparable to her palace, it was just a joke just now, and even if it is really comparable, she may not like it.

For a person who has been in a high position all the year round, she has never seen any kind of gorgeous battle. Compared with the more gorgeous, she wants to pursue "quietness, inaction, naturalness and authenticity".

However, it's just an extravagant idea. Think about her hands that have been holding swords, bows, and killing enemies and beasts all year round. They are full of blood and human life, and even the clearest water can't wash them clean.

If you can't wash it clean, you simply don't wash it. Who made the Empress Qilin have such a destiny? How can she protect her country and people if she doesn't get a little blood and a little life.

Lu Xiuyuan raised his wine glass and saluted her.

Manshu also paid a little respect, drinking in a very chic way.

"Just drinking is boring, why not talk with each other," Manshu suggested.

Naturally, Lu Xiuyuan would not refuse, and quickly fetched the chess pieces and the chessboard, and the two sat opposite each other.

Lu Xiuyuan intended to let Manshu have a son, so she went first.

Manshu put the chess piece down, looked at him and said, "Ten years ago, you let me do this. Today, in order to remember the past, I accept your let. But next, you have to show your real skills, just let me see it." How are you progressing?"

Lu Xiuyuan nodded, "Caomin does have that intention."

So the two fought back and forth on the chessboard.

At the beginning, the chess moves were very fast, but slowly, the chessboard fell into a stalemate. Lu Xiuyuan held the white pieces and did not move, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his brows were deeply frowned.

When he played chess with Manshu ten years ago, the little girl was just a beginner, and she asked him to give way everywhere, so don’t be too casual about regretting chess. I didn’t expect her chess skills to improve to such an extent after ten years of absence. In all fairness, Lu Xiuyuan won at all. not her.

Taking a deep breath and putting the white pieces back into the chess box, Lu Xiuyuan said shamelessly, "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and the grassroots are willing to bow down."

Manshu propped his elbows on the chess table and touched his chin, "You didn't try your best, did you?"

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, "No, His Majesty is diligent."

He has indeed given his best, or in other words, he is mostly busy with business and neglects to practice, and his level is almost stagnant ten years ago, so how could he win Manshu.

"It would be great if Abai was here." He murmured nonchalantly, Abai's chess skills are astonishing, if you let him come, you can easily beat the Empress.

only……

Thinking of Ah Bai, Lu Xiuyuan felt a little headache.

In recent years, Ah Bai has become more and more "desireless". Not to mention marriage, he has completely looked down on matters related to his mother Lu Qingwan. In his spare time, he plays chess, fishes, grows flowers and reads scriptures. , but in Lu Xiuyuan's view, his state is the same as in the Taoist temple, but his state is higher. In the words of his little wife, Abai can live in a house full of gold like Lu's. The place is spotless, because of "peace of mind".

When the mind is quiet, all things are quiet. In his eyes, all living beings have only one appearance, no difference between good and evil, no distinction between beauty and ugliness.

"Who is Ah Bai?" Manshu has a keen ear and easily grasped the point.

Lu Xiuyuan came back to his senses, and replied with a smile, "It's Cao Min's cousin."

"Is he good at chess?" Manshu became interested.

"Above grass people." Lu Xiuyuan said truthfully.

"Oh, if you are free some other day, can you bring him over so I can see him?"

Ah Bai probably wouldn't come, Lu Xiuyuan could only say, "He's not in the capital recently."

"That's really unfortunate." After all, it was someone he didn't know, so Manshu stood up and stretched his muscles casually, not to mention regret.

In this kind of country where men are respected, women are not used to being passive in everything.

She wouldn't make a special trip unless there was something important to do.

Lu Xiuyuan said: "Your Majesty is tired from traveling and traveling, and the grassroots will not disturb your rest."

Manshu squeezed his arms. For those who grew up in the martial arts field, they just stayed in the carriage for a few more days, and it was not "tired" at all. However, they are newcomers, take a bath and sleep It is also good.

Nodding his head, Manshu said, "I won't see you off. You will go down to meet my people later, and let the commander of the imperial guards come up."

Lu Xiuyuan responded, turned around and opened the door to go out.

At the same time, Yi Bai looked up at the sky on the top floor of the abandoned Star Observation Tower. Frowning tightly.

Knowing that he was here, Lu Xiuyuan came here to pick him up.

On the top floor, he looked at the tall and slender figure and called softly, "Ah Bai, it's time for us to go home."
