Book with Emperor

Chapter 86
"Yan uses the fire phoenix as its totem and the red flag, so Yan people respect red, but the royal family wears red. The higher the status, the more correct the red color it wears."

Qin Guanyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It smells slightly bitter in the mouth, sweet in the throat, and the jade-scented amber specially provided by the Kingdom of Yan, Your Highness reminded me time and again, if I can't guess it again, even the young master will give it a try." It’s not worth the job.”

"The young teacher is just a false job, and the emperor's teacher is a real job. Miss Qin's natural talent is not inferior to that of a respected teacher. It is a pity to be relegated to the position of a young teacher."

"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"Just call me Yaoque."

Yao Que looked indifferently and said, "The girl was born in a bright family, and she is also a genius in the sky. However, she was still young when she entered Beijing, and her foundation is weak. Even if His Majesty wants to promote her today, the courtiers will not agree."

"so?"

"That's why I can go with you. The person behind the snare, the former princess of the Yan Kingdom, and your great achievements at the Son of Heaven Festival, are enough for His Majesty to overcome all opinions and promote you as the emperor's teacher."

"What do you want?"

"Cuiping, and all the captured Yan people."

Qin Guanyue was not surprised, but smiled and said, "Cuiping is indeed a loyal servant. Lou Binghe said that she has endured almost all the punishments of the Ministry of Criminal Justice without saying a word, and even the fire phoenix tattoo on her body was destroyed in advance." Yes, it's a pity that it wasn't destroyed. "

Yaoque clenched her hands slightly, "She and I grew up together."

"No wonder."

Qin Guanyue paused, then suddenly asked, "Since she is so important to you, why don't you ask Xiao Mingyang for help?"

A trace of surprise finally flashed in Yaoque's eyes, and she said nonchalantly, "Young Master, why bother to tease me? My country of Yan died at the hands of the Empress, how could I ask her?"

"Really? Then why did you tell the empress where Cuiping hid the prince?"

"..."

Yaoque was silent for a moment before slowly opening her mouth, "Is this also the girl's guess?"

"half."

Qin Guanyue's tone was light but unquestionable, "The entire capital city is under my control, even so, you were still able to rob the crown prince, although it was due to your internal cooperation, it was my mistake after all."

"Young Master is too modest, you have almost thought of all the schemes in the huge Langya City."

"A wise man would consider a mistake, but the Empress shouldn't have caught this mistake so precisely."

The corner of Qin Guanyue's mouth twitched slightly, "Since you told her, why shouldn't you ask her for help, after all, you bought a city for her."

"That's repaying her for not killing. Back then, the 72 countries were annexed by other countries, and the country of Yan was the only country that was not slaughtered. My life, including Cuiping's life, was given by her. I promise But she will repay her kindness."

The corners of Yao Que's mouth raised slightly, "Although the Kingdom of Yan is dead, I am still His Highness of the Kingdom of Yan, and I cannot do such a thing of begging for mercy."

"Living is never a matter of begging for mercy, and dying is not necessarily supreme."

"But it's true for me."

The corners of Yaoque's mouth raised slightly, and she looked at her and said, "When Yan was alive, I was the most favored Highness. When Yan died, I was the only emperor of Yan. I have been honored for half my life, but I have never done anything for the country. What, now that my people need me, I cannot retreat."

Qin Guanyue stared at her for a long time, "Even if you have not participated in these conspiracies from beginning to end?"

Yao Que's smile faltered, and then she smiled wryly, "If my country of Yan had a resourceful man like you, maybe I wouldn't perish."

Having said this, Qin Guanyue knew that she had made up her mind and there was no possibility of turning around.

"So you rejected Mr. Lin's marriage proposal?"

"Ah."

Yao Que lowered her eyes and said lightly, "He has a smooth life, so he shouldn't have met me."

The candles were flickering, the voices of people in the street outside the window were still noisy, and the flickering candles in the room cast an afterimage on the wall.

"I agree to this matter, but you must do as I say." Qin Guanyue stood up and said goodbye.

"Thank you girl for your kindness."

Yaoque stood up with her hands on the table, folded her hands, and bowed to her.

"It's a deal."

"Miss Qin was joking, even if I didn't find you today, the little brother next to you should have found me."

"..."

Seeing that she was unstable, Qin Guanyue stepped forward to support her, "What's wrong with your leg?"

"When I escaped from the palace, it was almost cut off. Although it was connected later, it was almost useless."

Yao Que smiled nonchalantly, "Great kindness, Miss Qin, I will make a grass ring in my next life."

Qin Guanyue said, "There is no need to tie a grass ring, just remember not to be born in the royal family in the next life."

"It's not that the royal family is bad, it's that the people who were born in the royal family are bad. When the kingdom of Yan and even the 72 kingdoms perish, it's the countless people who suffer."

Yaoque said slowly, "I hope they will meet a Mingjun in the end."

"Will do."

Qin Guanyue turned around and pushed open the door, but was stunned the moment she stepped out of the room.

Under the moonlit corridor, Lin Hong in white stood there quietly.

Qin Guanyue pondered for a long time, but finally did not speak.

However, when she passed by the other party, the other party suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Qin."

"..."

Qin Guanyue stopped and turned to look at him.

Lin Hong said, "His surname is Ji, his name is Yao, Yao from Yao Chi."

Qin Guanyue nodded, "I wrote it down."

There was no more sound behind her, and Qin Guanyue walked down the lobby on the first floor without looking back.

The familiar hustle and bustle came again, she stopped and looked out through the window at the bustling lights and crowds of people.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Yue Wentian came over and looked out the window side by side with her, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the prosperity of this city, look at the prosperity of this country, and wonder how long this scene will last."

"When the people here no longer remember their emperor and cannot return to their hometown."

Qin Guanyue looked at the colorful galaxy outside the window, and then at the lights everywhere, and chuckled softly.

Yue Wentian looked at her quietly, and suddenly said, "It's so beautiful."

Qin Guanyue looked back at him, "Huh?"

Yue Wentian turned his head to look out the window, with a soft smile in his eyes, "I said this city."

Qin Guanyue was stunned, her heart beat faster for a moment.

Yue Wentian saw that she was looking at him in a daze, so he simply met her gaze and looked over, calmly said, "Empress Cai and Longnu asked me which of them was the prettiest, I thought about it, I offended both of them I'm sorry, it's better not to praise anyone, so I said you are the prettiest."

Qin Guanyue laughed softly, "Really, I thought you were fearless."

Seeing her smile, Yue Wentian asked, "Why was you in a bad mood just now?"

"..."

Qin Guanyue shook her head, turned around and walked out, said with a slight smile, "It's nothing, where are the Empress and the others?"

"The charity show is not over yet, that Miss Tang called them away just now."

"is it?"

Qin Guanyue paused and said with a smile, "Look."

Just at this time, the music outside suddenly flew up again, shouting loudly, and it was very lively.

As soon as Qin Guanyue walked out, she saw the dragon girl flying to the stage, playing the jade flute that came from nowhere.

The sound of the flute is bursting, clear and melodious.

Everyone booed one after another, and the empress picked up her luxurious skirt, walked slowly to the stage, picked up the drumstick with one hand, and reached out to Qin Guanyue who was standing under the stage with the other.

"One?" She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Qin Guanyue smiled helplessly, held her hand and jumped onto the stage, and sang slowly in response to the sound of the dragon girl's flute, "I am only a few layers away from the distance, and you came all the way to see me off, giving me the ancient sea and the sky... ..."

Xiao Mingyang raised his hand to beat the drum, and sang softly, "If I am immortal, I will cross every eternal night and eternal day..."

"If I am a wanderer, it is as if I have passed through the dust of the world..."

Li Xuanxi let go of the flute, and looked at the two with a smile, "I will meet you again, at the end of the prehistoric world."

Yue Wentian stood in the noisy crowd below the stage, with a smile in his eyes, all eyes were on that one person only.

Xiao Sheng and Xiao Qi looked at each other, and resigned themselves to their fate, holding their swords and guarding the audience.

"I finally understand what my father said back then."

On the second floor of Feiyanfang, Yaoque leaned on the railing and looked at the three singing and dancing people on the stage, and said with a smile, "Every dynasty has so many amazing and brilliant characters, they are either public, or Conceited, rough, indifferent, or ambitious, they are all so amazing that no one can envy them, and they are the only ones who can leave their names in the history books."

Lin Hong looked at her profile and said in a deep voice, "You too."

"What kind of person am I? I dare not even admit my own name."

Yao Que smiled and shook her head, her eyes fell on the three laughing and laughing people downstairs, her eyes were full of expectation and sigh, "Seeing them, I have seen the vicissitudes of the next hundred years."

Lin Hong covered the sadness in his eyes, looked at the three people on the stage and said, "They are indeed the most amazing and beautiful women I have ever seen in my life."

Yaoque slowly raised her head to look at the bright moon above her head, and sighed softly.

"The world is reincarnated, the bright moon is still there, and there are no people under the moon...Under the history books, who is not dust."
