After being married for so many years, it was only during this time with Huang Qiong that Bai Feng truly realized what it meant to be a first-time woman. Only then did I realize that that was the real man. Only then did I realize that this kind of thing could actually be such a joy. Being entangled with her husband, Bai Feng couldn't help but think of the scene when she was with Huang Qiong, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly. At this time, looking at Duan Suping who was sleeping soundly next to him, he sighed slightly in his heart.
His face looked somewhat confused and overwhelmed for a moment. She had never thought before that she would still be thinking about that man at this time. I didn't expect that those days that were originally humiliating to me would be so difficult to forget. What happened to me? Now that I have returned to my husband, shouldn’t my heart also come back with me? Why was he still thinking about that in his mind? He kept torturing his man in different ways during those days.
After being confused for a long time, he lowered his head and looked at his belly again, hoping that this time he could hide it from the people around him. Along the way, Bai Feng thought repeatedly, but in the end he still could not make up his mind to not want this child. Even when she was entangled with her husband just now, she was still somewhat hesitant about whether to keep him or her. But at this moment, he didn't know the courage he had before, and would rather risk his reputation to keep this child. As for the Lord, there was no chance of seeing him again.
And Huang Qiong, who was on his way to Jingjiang Mansion, didn't know about this scene in Yangjumei City. Little did he know that Bai Feng was thinking of him at this moment. When passing through Shicheng County, Huang Qiong was missing one of the women. After Lao Li confirmed that none of them were pregnant, they were each given generous rewards and sent home. There are two people who are unwilling to go back and are planning to take them back to Beijing. As for the man who deceived Meng Dang Shuna, Huang Qiong directly sent people to deal with the whole family, which was regarded as revenge for Meng Dang Shuna.
The ashes of Mengdang Shuna were originally enshrined in the Buddhist temple. Before leaving, Duan Jin specifically told Duan Suping and Bai Feng to do so. He also told Duan Suping and Bai Feng to treat the Mengdang clan favorably in the future, at least to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. With Bai Feng's promise, Huang Qiong believed they could still do it. Any promises he made to Duan Suping may not necessarily be believed. But Huang Qiong still trusted Bai Feng, who had had this passion with him and was as tender as water.
Xiaoxing stayed overnight along the way, and by the time we arrived at Jingjiang Mansion, it was already a month later. Seeing Lu Mengzheng, Kou Zhun and his entourage coming out of the city to greet him, Huang Qiong quickly got off his horse and helped everyone up. Looking at Lu Mengzheng who was losing weight, Huang Qiong patted him and sighed: "You, why don't you cherish your body so much? If you collapse from exhaustion, who will I entrust with this important matter? I will be in the west of Guangnan We’ll stay on the road for half a month. You don’t have to do anything during this half month, just give me a good rest.”
Huang Qiong's words made Lu Mengzheng shake his head and smile bitterly. Isn't this nonsense? If we let the emperor in front of us handle all the government affairs in person, then what are we going to do with ourselves, the envoy, and these officials? How could Lu Mengzheng say these words? After inviting Huang Qiong and his entourage into the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, which was temporarily used as a palace, Lu Mengzheng said: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness. Now that officials are arriving one after another, and there are people helping to share the worries, I am no longer so tired."
"I have almost dealt with the current major issues on Guangnan West Road. Now it has entered a stable stage, and there are not so many trivial matters. What I am most worried about now is the capital. After all, His Majesty has been away from the capital for too long. Although His Majesty The queen is left to guard the capital, but after all, the queen is not familiar with government affairs. Although there are some things that I should not say, I have to say them. Your Majesty, although the scenery of Jingjiang Mansion is beautiful, it is best for your Majesty to return to the capital as soon as possible. The overall situation comes first.”
Regarding Lu Mengzheng's answer, Huang Qiong did not answer him immediately. He stood at the gate of the palace for a long time with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't understand the reason for Lu Qing's painstaking efforts. But on Guangnan West Road, in addition to Liu Jinli's matters, there are still some things that have not been resolved. Wait. Once these things are over, I will return to the capital immediately. I will not stay here for too long. However, Lu Qing has to speed up here, and I can't live without Lu Qing for too long in the capital."
Hearing Huang Qiong mention Liu Jinli, Kou Zhun over there hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I and Liu Jinli have been grinding their teeth for such a long time, and finally we have almost settled it. A while ago, Liu Jinli promised to hand over the Ryukyu foundation within thirty years. came out, and the rest of the things were generally agreed. However, the court was asked to give certain care to the royal clans who went north. Except for violating national laws, the rest of the people were not allowed to abuse and kill wantonly. In the open treaty ports, the court Treat the Liu family equally."
"He also promised not to destroy the fleets of other merchants, and their ports in Nanyang could also provide them with supplies. And when his fleet went overseas, he guaranteed to pay taxes in accordance with the imperial regulations. In order to express his sincerity, the first two batches of compensation were Ten thousand taels of gold, three hundred thousand taels of silver, and fifty thousand jins of copper have been transported north to the capital. I consider that there is not much difference between twenty years and thirty years. What the court urgently needs now is to fill the empty treasury. Therefore So I accepted the order without asking for it."
Huang Qiong was stunned when he heard Kou Zhun's report. Then he smiled and said: "This guy is aware of current affairs. I solved the Dali Kingdom and the Shanchanhou Mansion. He softened first and made concessions. Okay, this matter is not a big deal. I originally He also gave you the right to make a decision. You told him not to focus on the little legacy left by his ancestors in front of him. He should look further ahead. The vast world has a lot to offer. If he can bring the Liu family's fleet to the extreme west Land, I canonize him as King of Pingxi."
Kou Zhun didn't dare to answer Huang Qiong's attitude for a while. When Huang Qiong saw Kou Zhun who was in a daze, he sighed. Even though the monarchs and ministers of the Qi Dynasty today have a broader vision, their vision is actually still a bit narrow. Don't you know that the greatest harm to this nation in the future will come from the West? Although I still can't tell what danger those people in the far west are in. But hundreds of years later, it was those people who really brought disaster to this nation.
Just these words, how should Huang Qiong talk to Lu Mengzheng and Kou Zhun? Looking at Huang Qiong who was a little tired from the continuous rush. Lu Mengzheng and Kou Zhun were about to stand up and say goodbye. But when the two were leaving, Huang Qiong turned his back to Kou Zhun and said: "Ai Qing, I will go back and tell Liu Jinli later that I won't see him today. In three days, let him come to the royal mausoleum to see me." It’s time to settle all the grievances between me and the Prince of Guilin. From now on, it’s up to him to decide what to do.”
After the two people left, Huang Qiong glanced at the thick stack of folding notes on the desk. I picked up a few books and read them briefly. Except for Yang Jiyuan's two military reports and some information from various state governments asking for peace, the rest are matters that need to be reported in the aftermath of the Guangnan East-West Second Road. But it was a helpless smile. These two guys, if they have something to say to each other face to face, they have to do something for themselves. After pinching the bridge of her nose, Huang Qiong lost interest in reviewing and put down the paper.
Among these notes, except for the two military reports and the request for money to be allocated for the expansion and dredging of Guangzhou's trading port, the rest were either official transfers or a bunch of nonsense greeting notes. Even Yang Jiyuan's military report was nothing more than nonsense between Shangzou and the Zhangquan Second Prefecture rebels. These discounts are not in a hurry. I was really tired from traveling all this way. It’s better to take a rest for the night before reading these things, which are mostly nonsense.
Somewhat worried, Huang Qiong went to see Duan Jin first because Duan Jin was already showing some signs of being pregnant. He had a long conversation with Duan Jin and had dinner with Duan Jin before going to take a bath. Lying in the hot water, Huang Qiong felt that the fatigue from the journey had finally disappeared. And Nangong Mei, who was standing next to him with only a veil covering her body, gently helped him wash his hair. There are also Duan Yan'er, Da Ru, Qing Zi Erluo, Dao Meiping and Gao Mei who are still dressed in the same way.
Because it was the first time to serve Huang Qiong like this, it was somewhat unnatural. As for Duan Yu and Duan Yun, the two young women were even more ashamed and angry. Seeing these people standing outside the bathhouse, they were somewhat at a loss. Huang Qiong waved her hand and motioned for them to get into the water and take a bath together. Duan Jin, who is now pregnant, naturally cannot take a bath. Huang Qiong could only help her scrub carefully with her own hands, and then asked Duan Miao to send her back to her room to rest. Nangong Zhen came to Yue Xin, and there was nothing she could do about it.
When Dao Meiping and Duan Yaner's faces turned red with embarrassment, they entered the bathtub and were hugged by Huang Qiong before they sat down. Feeling the astonishing plumpness, Huang Qiong leaned into the ears of the two girls and teased softly: "There is nothing to be shy about. There will be more days like this in the future. Yan'er and Ping'er need to get used to it. They have already. We have been husband and wife for so many days, and I haven’t seen it there? Wash yourself well, clean yourself up for a while, and serve me properly. I was very hungry along the way."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, the two women's faces turned even redder. He wanted to leave and go to the other side, but he didn't expect his hand to be firmly grasped by Huang Qiong, and he could only helplessly bathe Huang Qiong. While Huang Qiong was admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, he was doing evil things. As a result, halfway through washing, Da Ru was directly pulled over by him and pushed her head down. The scene in front of her made Nangong Mei couldn't help but cover up her smile. How could she really not see Huang Qiong's thoughts?
She also heard Nangong Zhen mention the relationship between Da Ru and Duan Yan'er. And these days, with Nangong Mei's intelligence, how could she not see the deadlock between the three of them? She knew that Huang Qiong's move today was to break the shackles in Da Ru's heart so that he could continue to do evil in the future. But before Nangong Mei could smile for long, Huang Qiong grabbed her into his arms. She said softly: "The two of them are too naive, and I have suffered a bit. Meier should teach them well."
After hearing Huang Qiong's words, the helpless Nangong Mei rolled her eyes at him and then meekly lowered her head. After a night of wind and rain, Nangong Mei, who was nestled in Huang Qiong's arms, opened her eyes the next morning and looked at herself who was still closely connected to Huang Qiong, as well as Duan Yan'er and Da Ru who were clinging to Huang Qiong's side, but she sighed softly. A sound. Seeing that Huang Qiong was also awake, he lay on Huang Qiong's chest and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty and I have known each other for so many days, and it's time to leave."
Hearing that Nangong Mei was about to leave, Huang Qiong opened her mouth to say something, but Nangong Mei gently covered her mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than two months since I came out. Now Fan Dao is at home. I don’t know whether the Western Region is alive or dead, and the head of the family is ill. The Fan family can’t be left alone for a long time to take charge of the overall situation. I can’t just care about the happiness between myself and His Majesty, regardless of the life and death of the Fan family. After all, the Fan family is truly my root. . Not to mention there are two children who are too young to be left unattended for a long time."
