The palace of King Xuan was heavily guarded, and straight-backed imperial troops could be seen standing guard everywhere.
As Xiao Yuan walked, he looked around everywhere. Naturally, he was stopped many times along the way, but with the token in hand, he was able to pass without any obstruction.
By the time he wandered near the court meeting hall, the government had just dispersed and the ministers were walking out of the palace in twos and threes.
In the past, when Xiao Yuan visited Xuanguo, many ministers had accompanied him at the state banquet, so they knew him, not to mention Yao Tingyu and others.
"His Royal Highness King Qin?"
Seeing him, Yao Tingyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and saluted him.
"Ah, Prime Minister Xuan has just left the court." Xiao Yuan greeted with a smile.
After Yao Tingyu saluted, he suddenly felt confused: "Well, when will His Highness King Qin come to announce, why not inform him in advance so that our country can welcome His Highness? In this way, there is so much negligence."
"No, the Prime Minister's words are serious." Xiao Yuan waved his hand.
"Then...does my king know about this? I will inform you right away." Yao Tingyu said.
"No need." Xiao Yuan stopped him, "If Princess Xuan doesn't know about it, how can I enter Prince Xuan's palace?"
"Ah?" Yao Tingyu was stunned for a moment again, then came to his senses and said, "What His Highness said is, then, I will inform the etiquette officer right now."
"No, no," Xiao Yuan said, "I have made an appointment with Sister Xuan. Just keep everything simple."
"That……"
"Prime Minister, please be busy." Xiao Yuan said directly.
"This." Yao Tingyu hesitated: "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
With that said, he bowed deeply, nodded to Xu Hu, and left.
The palace study.
After going to court, King Xuan first took off his crown, simply changed his clothes, and then came to the study.
But not long after she arrived, Xiao Yuan came looking for her.
Outside the palace, the guard was the maid Feng Qing, who was also stunned when she saw him, "His Royal Highness King Qin?"
"I didn't expect that the charming girl would still remember me." Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Is Sister Xuan here?"
"Ah?" Fengqing came back to her senses: "Yes, your Highness, wait a moment, I will go and inform the king right away."
Not long after, King Xuan walked out quickly. It seemed that he did not expect Xiao Yuan to appear here like this. She subconsciously said: "Brother Wang, why are you here?"
"From what Sister Wang said, it seems that she is not very welcome." Xiao Yuan joked.
"Brother Wang is joking again." King Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "What I mean is, why didn't you tell me in advance how you were going to entertain Brother Wang in such a hurry? In this case, I'll have someone throw a banquet as soon as possible."
"Why should Sister Wang be so formal?" Xiao Yuan said, "I still remember the last time I entered the Qin Dynasty, Sister Wang said that I would entertain you with a family banquet. Can you do the same this time? Besides, I don't want to be drunk by Minister Xuan Guo again."
"Okay." Thinking of Xiao Yuan's drunken appearance, King Xuan smiled, "Since Brother Wang doesn't care about etiquette, then I will keep everything simple."
"This is the best." Xiao Yuan couldn't ask for it.
Next, King Xuan began to walk around the palace with him.
Xuanwang Palace is very large. Not only are the palaces magnificent, but there are also many gardens. The scenery inside is very beautiful.
During the walk, Xiao Yuan also said casually: "Sister Wang, Zhang Jingrui wrote a letter last time. The letter mentioned a small thing, saying that outside this mountain village, there are medicinal herbs that can be exchanged for money. The first one After the villager who found it tied a red string, the other villagers knew that the herb belonged to the owner and would not take it again. How did you achieve such a good custom in Xuanguo?"
"Ah?" King Xuan was a little silly: "The local people are simple and honest."
"I don't think so." Xiao Yuan said seriously: "Although this matter is small, it can show the national style of Xuan Kingdom. It seems that it is true that Wang Mei governs the country with etiquette and morality first."
The great governance of Xuan Kingdom is inseparable from Xuan Kingdom's policies. Another point is that this country has a very good foundation.
There are many scholars here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the women are gentle and well-educated, and the villagers are kind and simple.
After hearing what Xiao Yuan said, King Xuan smiled slightly and said, "What about Brother Wang's Qin Law?"
"In troubled times, heavy laws must be used. If the law is not correct, the country will not be correct." Xiao Yuandao.
"Okay." King Xuan still agreed with this, and said: "Brother Wang established a school. I heard that he was the first to recommend the "Book of Filial Piety". I deeply agree with this point. If a person does not even have filial piety, If so, then he will lose his character as a human being."
"Also, has there been any recent progress in the military academy built by Brother Wang?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "The Prime Minister has always been concerned about the quality of our officers. Recently, I have also been working on this matter. Unlike Xuanguo, a general can become a general after he goes out, and he can become a general after he goes in. Wen is enviable."
King Xuan said: "But among the generals of other countries, there is no one who is more accustomed to fighting than the generals of Qin."
"Sister Wang is joking."
On this question, King Xuan was indeed right. The generals of various countries were all from famous families. They were indeed capable of writing, but on the real battlefield, they were definitely not as good as the generals of the Qin army.
Because on the Qin side, they were all forced to fight!
The two exchanged their opinions with each other on some national policies and political affairs, and they felt like a husband and wife.
At noon, according to Xiao Yuan's request, King Xuan briefly entertained him at the place where he stayed.
In the room, the dishes on the round table were already served. The two of them sat down. Xiao Yuan subconsciously looked around and said jokingly:
"The women's room is just different. Everywhere is exquisite and there is always a light fragrance."
King Xuan rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Brother Wang, please drink this cup to the full."
"Okay, today, Minister Wu Xuanguo, let's see how Sister Wang continues to drink me. Please." Xiao Yuan picked up the wine glass.
The two chatted while eating, without the company of ministers. After two or three drinks, King Xuan began to refuse, and his face even turned a little drunken, flushed and more girlish.
"Ah? Brother Wang is still drinking, I, I won't drink anymore..."
Xiao Yuan found it interesting and did not force it. Both of them were in a good mood after eating this simple meal.
After the dinner and dinner, the palace maid came in to clean up. King Xuan planned to invite Xiao Yuan out of the palace for a stroll, but the latter shamelessly lay on his bed.
Seeing this, King Xuan was very anxious and stepped forward to pull him up: "Brother Wang! Get up quickly!"
"No, I'm drunk." Xiao Yuan acted rogue.
"You didn't! Liar!" How could King Xuan believe it? Even as he spoke, he forcefully pulled Xiao Yuan up.
"Okay." Xiao Yuan was helpless. After getting up, he straightened his clothes and said at the same time: "Sister Wang, can I stay in the palace tonight."
"What a beautiful idea you have!" King Xuan shouted immediately.
"I mean, there are so many palaces, just free up any one." Xiao Yuandao.
"That's not OK!"
"..." Xiao Yuan was speechless for a while.
