Adore Trick of Beauty

Chapter 176 Autumn Hunting (8)

This was the boldest thing she had ever done in her life, to say such words directly to Xiao Fengming. After a while, there was an even louder sound in the palace, ticking, boring, and boring, making people even more panicked. Her heart sank a little bit.

After all, she was too naive... She lowered her eyes, and the handsome face so close seemed to be getting further and further away.

"Concubine..." She suddenly didn't know how to round out her words.

Xiao Fengming looked at her for a long time and laughed softly. He sighed, hugged her, and stroked her long hair: "Is that scholar Gu Qinghong?"

"Yes." Nie Wushuang's voice was as low as an ant's murmur.

"I'm not Gu Qinghong." Xiao Fengming said lightly: "He won't be me either. So you don't have to worry."

Nie Wushuang's heart palpitated, and after a long while, he said calmly: "I understand, I understand." Sadness welled up in his heart, and for some words, one or two sentences were enough.

Nie Wushuang felt confused. Xiao Fengming actually didn't make a very good vow to her. Maybe he couldn't even describe it as a vow. It's just that she has already become dissatisfied. She no longer believed his kindness before he presented it to her.

But he still insisted on telling her: He is not Gu Qinghong.

Yes, he is not Gu Qinghong, and he will not make promises to her easily. She is no longer the naive Nie Wushuang before, and she no longer dares to easily believe in a man's sincerity, not to mention that his sincerity may still be in the air. rich.

A little warmth touched her forehead, and Nie Wushuang was startled. She looked up suddenly and saw that it was Xiao Fengming kissing her. She was stunned for a long time before she let out a breath: "Your Majesty, don't you blame me?"

Xiao Fengming laughed dumbly: "Why should I blame you? If it weren't for you, the hidden dangers of this disaster would not have been detected." Who would pay attention to a horse? Even if he was a good horseman, maybe the person who arranged this conspiracy still had some tricks up his sleeve. It was scary to think about it.

Nie Wushuang smiled bitterly: "It's good that the emperor doesn't doubt my concubine."

Xiao Fengming looked at her sad face and comforted: "Of course it won't be you."

She asked him to teach her how to ride a horse for no reason, and now that the horse is going crazy, she is the first person to be suspected. But it was definitely not her. Firstly, Nie Wushuang did not have the ability to bribe the imperial court's chamberlain to swear to his death. Secondly, she would not be so stupid as to take risks herself even though she knew there was something wrong with the horse.

Both of them are smart people, and they can tell everything at once. Silence fell in the inner hall. The setting sun stretched his shadow long, like a clear silhouette, tall and clear. Nie Wushuang felt relieved and nestled softly against his chest, quietly watching the light and shadow in the palace flow gracefully...

For two days in a row, Nie Wushuang stayed in the "Ganlu Palace". In accordance with the ancestral rules of the country, concubines were not allowed to stay in the emperor's bedroom for a long time, lest the emperor be greedy for beauty and delay political affairs. It's just that Xiao Fengming had previously made a decree that Nie Wushuang was injured in the Imperial Garden and was specially given to recuperate in the "Ganlu Palace".

Nie Wushuang stayed for two days. There was a lot of discussion among the courtiers in the DPRK. Many admonishers came to advise the emperor that this move was not in line with the old system. The envoys from Qi State expressed their dissatisfaction. Xiao Fengming laughed it off. When the commotion got serious, Xiao Fengming asked the admonishing officer: "Should the courtiers also intervene in my harem? Where are you waiting to put the Queen Mother and the Queen?"

The censor's admonishment officer blushed when asked, and could only stop talking.

At the banquet for the envoys of the State of Qi, Xiao Fengming asked the envoys of the State of Qi again: "Is it the true sincerity of the king of Qi to interfere with the harem of another country?"

The envoy from Qi State was speechless. After a long time, someone said unwillingly: "Your Majesty favors the daughter of a criminal minister who fled from Qi State to Ying State. Is this the real reason why Your Majesty refuses to lend troops?"

Xiao Fengming glanced at the outspoken person and smiled faintly: "I never said I wouldn't borrow troops. You are worrying too much. The matter of borrowing troops is of great importance. It is definitely not a child's play. I have to think about it carefully."

He dismissed Qi's envoys with just one sentence. When Xiao Fengming played Tai Chi with them and entertained them, he was enthusiastic and without losing the demeanor of a great nation. However, when it came to borrowing troops, there were many considerations. Faced with such an emperor whose palace was extremely deep and watertight, the ministers of the Qi State Envoy felt troubled. Those who had previously thought that they would be able to borrow troops quickly were all discouraged.

The person who received them was King Rui of Ying State. They first set their sights on him and found out about King Rui's personality.

Liu liked beauties, so he donated ten beauties from Qi State at once, and also gave many rare and rare treasures from Qi State. Xiao Fengqing accepted the order, but once the borrowing of troops was mentioned, he smiled and said: "I am just an idle prince, and I can't speak in front of the emperor."

The envoys of Qi State didn't believe it and asked again if it was true. If this road doesn't work, of course we'll have to find another way. They found Qi Yan, the concubine of virtue in the harem. But Qi Yan didn't expect to see them. She only asked about the health of her father, the emperor and her mother, and seemed a little indifferent to the affairs of the two countries.

The envoys of Qi State persuaded her one after another, urging her to work more on the emperor of Ying State. After being persuaded too much, Qi Yan said angrily: "The good men of Qi State do not bleed and die on the battlefield, but they choose to target women. I am ashamed of you! There is still a saying among the people that 'the water thrown by the married daughter' , Do I have to be ignored by the emperor because of your stupid things?"

The words of the concubine Qi Yan made the persuader feel ashamed and had to retreat quietly.

There seemed to be no way out. It has been less than half a month since the envoy from Qi State arrived in Ying State. Almost everyone's hair has turned gray and countless beards have been twirled. Finally someone suggested: "Why don't you... persuade Mr. Nie to take a look? Should..."

As soon as this proposal came out, the envoys were in an uproar. Some people scolded it, while others agreed...

Nie Wushuang is here

On the third day, she moved out of the "Ganlu Hall" and returned to the "Yonghua Hall", not because of the advice of the courtiers, but because the autumn hunt was approaching and she had to return to the palace to organize.

This year, there was a bumper harvest in various parts of the country. When the Ministry of Household Affairs reported the good news, Xiao Fengming was overjoyed. While commending local officials for meritorious service, he ordered officials not to profit from it and deduct the grain handed in by the people, let alone the local tyrants and gentry to oppress the people.

For a time, the government of the country was peaceful and people were harmonious, and there was a prosperous scene. At this time, the autumn hunt seems to be no longer simply an annual hunting festival, but the greatest opportunity for the royal family to demonstrate its imperial power.

Sorry for being so late. I have a habit of reading the chapters I wrote the day before the next day. I find more and more that sometimes I write too fast and make typos. Or because I type faster, I type more words. I would like to say sorry to my dear friends. Will check as much as possible in the future.

Keep asking for monthly votes and I should be able to reach the top ten. But Bing's mentality is still okay now. Haha, if you work hard, it doesn't matter if you can't catch up. So those of you who have voted monthly, please feel free to read the article!
