Book with Emperor

Chapter 29

It took five days to travel from Kyoto to Jiujiang, but because of the addition of Qin Guanyue and others, Lou Binghe and others walked for ten days before entering the territory of Langya City.

During this period, whether he was resting or staying in the hotel, Master Han Xiaohou never said a word to Qin Guanyue, and only looked at her with a pair of cold eyes.

Even Xiao Mingyang couldn't help asking, "Did you scum him?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue looked at her with a speechless expression, "He's not yet of age."

Xiao Mingyang raised his eyebrows, "Yue Wentian doesn't seem to be an adult yet, does he?"

"...what are you trying to say?"

"Anyway, you're not an adult yet, and you just broke up with Yue Wentian, why don't you think about this young man."

"..."

Qin Guanyue couldn't hold back, "I heard you have a harem of three thousand?"

Xiao Mingyang looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?"

"The whole Canglan knows about it."

Qin Guanyue looked complicated, "Three thousand harem... Did you move the entire Imperial Guard into the harem?"

At this time, lively voices came from outside, and Xiao Mingyang lifted the curtain to look out with great interest.

"Entered Langya City."

Qin Guanyue naturally saw it clearly, it was indeed very lively.

As the capital of Daxi, Langya City has Guocheng, Huangcheng, Miyagi, Forbidden Garden, and Fangshi in it, each of which is eighty miles long and wide.Its land is vast and its population is so large that it is worthy of the name of the largest city.The avenue in the center alone is three times wider than the main street of Tong'an City. Besides pedestrians, there are also many carriages and sedan chairs. The shops on both sides are also dazzling. .

The carriage drove all the way along Suzaku Avenue, and the magnificent palace covered in gold and vermilion could be seen from a distance.

It is located in the center of the city, like a behemoth with its mouth open, waiting for everyone who pursues power to step in.

"Miss Qin, it's time to get out of the car."

Sun Chu looked at her from outside the carriage, while Xiao Mingyang had already brought Xiao Qi down.

Qin Guanyue nodded and got out of the carriage.

A dozen or so people stood in front of them and saluted together, "Congratulations to General Ling Yun!"

Lou Binghe got off his horse and ordered them to take Dongcheng Wang Ningying who was in the cage to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

Lou Binghe glanced at her, "I'll meet His Majesty first, you can wait in the side hall."

Qin Guanyue nodded.

After all, Xiao Mingyang is the Empress Xiangwei. Even though she is visiting in a low-clothes manner, she can't wait any longer, so Qin Guanyue can only temporarily stay in the side hall of Longquan Palace, waiting for the emperor to meet the empress before going to see her.

Besides Xiao Sheng, there was also Han Zhengwei who entered the palace with Qin Guanyue.

"Please wait here, the two of you. There are maids waiting outside the door. You can call them if you need anything."

After Sun Chu finished speaking, he left, and only Han Zhengwei and Qin Guanyue were left in the side hall relatively silent.

The two were silent for a while, Qin Guanyue drank tea quietly, not in a hurry, but Han Zhengwei who was opposite couldn't sit still.

"Don't you have anything to tell me?"

"No."

"you--"

Han Zhengwei slammed the table down angrily, "It's a shame that Yue Wentian and I trust you so much, you actually sold us to Lou Binghe!"

"Who is behind Lou Binghe?"

Qin Guanyue blew on the tea leaves, "It's the emperor, you are the loyal person of Zhenweihou Mansion, are you going to betray your master for Yue Wentian?"

Han Zhengwei was stunned suddenly, and then asked her, "What about you? He believed in you so much, didn't you say that he had saved you before!"

"I saved him too,"

Qin Guanyue put down her teacup, "If it wasn't for me, he would have died in the hands of Lou Binghe."

"Then why did you—"

"I am the first disciple of Qin Tianjian, and Qin Tianjian's allegiance is to successive Emperors Daxi."

Han Zheng said anxiously, "But haven't you already betrayed Qin Tianjian?"

Qin Guanyue suddenly raised her head and smiled at him, "Little Marquis, you are so naive, how will you succeed Zhenweihou Mansion in the future?"

"Are you trying to say that you were forced?"

"..."

Han Zhengwei's face was gloomy, "Speak!"

"I am not your servant, there is no need to answer you."

Qin Guanyue got up and gathered up her cloak, and went to the imperial study to meet the servant who was leading the way.

After the Five Kingdoms conformed to the emperor of the Kamikaze Dynasty, they all respected Minghuang.The girl in front of me came in a bright yellow sedan chair, and the servants respectfully led her into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Miss Qin will meet you."

"Xuan."

Qin Guanyue heard a low sound from inside the door, pushed open the door and walked in.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

She nodded slightly, then raised her head and looked at the man behind the table.

Dressed in a bright yellow embroidered dragon uniform, he had the same handsome and upright face as that Rilou Binghe wore in Tong'an City, but with a little more unfathomable and innate bearing.

The Emperor Daxi in front of him didn't seem to notice her rudeness, he glanced at her with a smile, then lowered his head and wrote something.

"Come here? Come and see if you look like it?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue walked up to him and took a look. It was a painting just finished. The person in the painting was dressed in white, with long hair sweeping the floor, and a pair of fox-like phoenix eyes slightly narrowed. He was sitting under a tree, lazily propped his head on the ground.

The person in the painting is very familiar to her, and she has even seen it countless times in the past ten years.

"Not bad," she said.

"yes."

Ning Zhao smiled, put down his pen and said, "I heard from him that it is harder to get a compliment from you than to reach the sky, it seems to be true."

"He has too many bad habits, and he always wants others to coax him, so he is not as good as you, Your Majesty."

Hearing the familiarity in her words, Ning Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you want to know why I didn't pursue you for helping Yue Wentian escape?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"Partly because of your master, and partly because your life is still in my hands."

Ning Zhao looked at her quietly, "You know how I came to be the emperor. I have experienced all those hypocrisy and deceitful feelings. I can tell at a glance whether the person in front of me is loyal to me."

"..."

"I have seen a lot of smart people like you, but I should be afraid of smart and arrogant people like you. So since I can't want your loyalty, I can only hold your life. The way to make me feel at ease, as long as you don't betray me, I will give you the antidote sooner or later, understand?"

"clear."

Seeing her docile expression, Ning Zhao changed the subject, "I have read the ledger, what are you going to do?"

"The Yun family of Jiujiang, the king of Dongcheng, a half-dynasty power, can enrich the treasury in the front, consolidate the territory in the middle, and stabilize the government in the future."

Qin Guanyue took a step back, put his hands together and bowed his head, "Repay Your Majesty for not killing me."

"I thought you traded Yue Wentian's life."

Ning Zhao picked up the pen again and sketched the picture on the case, "Remember, Yuewen Tianzhen will only let him go this time, unless he surrenders the Tiger Talisman of Yongzhou and Lieyang Army, otherwise I will never let him go."

Qin Guanyue lowered her eyes and remained silent, as if tacitly acquiescing.

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the study, Ning Zhao looked up at her faint eyes, and suddenly asked, "Who took your name?"

"Watching the moon is a word, but it is taken by oneself."

"What about the name?"

"The single character Xu was taken by the master."

"..."

Ning Zhao stopped the pen in his hand and asked, "He named you Xu?"

"Yes."

"..."

Ning Zhao didn't draw any more, just looked at the painting for a long time before opening his mouth.

"Qin Guanyue, are you willing to be the emperor's teacher?"
