Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 189: Foreign Envoy One
Li Mushang was sitting in the side hall, with only one attendant behind him. They had been sitting in the hall for two hours. He picked up the tea cup again and took a sip.
Shi Hu stood behind him and said dissatisfiedly: "The hospitality of this villa is really amazing. Your attendants are blocked at the entrance of the villa. If you don't need someone to get the gift box for you, I probably wouldn't be able to come in." . Are you planning to let the prince come in alone?"
Li Muchang didn't answer, but tapped his fingers on the edge of the saucer a few times.
Shi Hu sighed: "My lord, why don't you feel angry at all? How long have you been waiting for? We have been sitting here for more than two hours. Not only have we not seen the owner of this courtyard, not even the Lord of Yue City has come. To treat guests, I only asked a butler to deliver tea a few times. What on earth does the owner of the other courtyard mean? He agreed to see us and left us here to hang out."
Li Muchang laughed: "Don't worry, Ah Hu, your biggest problem is that you are a little impatient. If it were Ah Rong, you wouldn't be anxious. Since the owner of this other courtyard has agreed to see us, just wait."
Shi Hu said: "I don't know who the owner of this courtyard is. He is so mysterious. Although we couldn't get out of the courtyard yesterday, we could still hear faint voices in the distance. I heard that the person with the highest status in Mocheng Villa It’s a few elders, isn’t it some elder who is here? Is it necessary for the people to be so excited?”
Li Muchang smiled and said, "You think too simply."
"It's too simple. Who else could come? Isn't there just five families gathered together in their villa? Besides a few elders, who else could be there?"
Li Muchhang: "Since people don't want others to know, there is a reason. Don't ask so much."
"What are you afraid of? There's no one around."
Li Muchang glanced at him, "Who told you there was no one."
Shi Hu looked around and whispered: "Your Majesty, this villa still sends people to monitor us."
Li Muchang picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Good tea. This tea can only be found in the Li Kingdom Palace. Others are not so lucky to drink this. Ahu, try it."
Shi Hu shook his head, the prince could really bear it. He glanced at the other glass prepared for himself, picked it up and drank it in one gulp, "It's a bit fragrant, but isn't it just for drinking? It's just like ordinary water to quench your thirst."
Li Muchhang smiled: "It's a waste of natural resources. Good tea needs to be tasted slowly." After speaking, he looked at the partition aside.
Yue Ren walked in with a smile: "It's just a rough tea. King Bowei has been waiting for a long time."
Li Mu Shang put down the tea cup and stood up: "Mr. Yue is too polite. I will treat you with good tea. Mu Shang has no idea if you wait a little longer. What? Can the master of the other courtyard see me waiting?"
Yue Ren said: "The master of the hospital is waiting in the front pavilion. King Bowei, please come with me."
"General Manager Yue leads the way."
Yue Ren led Li Muchhang out of the side hall from the other side. Li Muchhang looked at the various precious flowers and plants in the courtyard. Any kind of it is hard to find in Lihuang City. The architectural decoration is not inferior to that of the Imperial City of Li State, but it is just a separate courtyard. The main city of the villa must be much more powerful than here, but unfortunately no one can enter. The villa's financial resources are far different from what I knew before.
Compared with this place, Xibao City's City Lord's Mansion is a bit inferior. The people who can live here have a much higher status than the City Lord.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the edge of the guardrail of the garden pond. There was a soft chair for resting every other section. From the traces around it, it could be seen that it must have just been installed today. People moved in yesterday and there were such changes today. Mu Shang smiled.
Yue Qing walked in the largest building in the courtyard. Looking at it from the outside, she felt that it was too big to look like. She thought she was meeting guests in a certain room here. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw a hall inside. Qing rubbed her face. She was just a visitor. Is it necessary to stay in such a big place? It's as big as a playground, and if you speak in the open space, you can feel the echoes all around you.
Yue Qing has seen several such large places in the main city of the villa. One is the main hall of the villa that San Yuxiao took her to when she first arrived at the villa. Of course, it was a much bigger place than here. One is the place where we discuss with the elders in Qingyue Pavilion. It feels on par with this place. But there were many people inside at that time, and it didn't feel empty at all. Another one is the hall of the worship hall when I went to find Mo Xue. There were many people there. After all, it is a large office space. Of course there is another place, that is the underground palace in the altar, but that one cannot be compared with this one. It can no longer be regarded as a house. I don’t know how deep it is. The space on the first floor is larger than this one.
But this is just a separate courtyard. People who come here probably only stay for a few days. Do they use such a large space? Do you need to meet a lot of people? The villa has so many high-rise buildings, so there is so much money and so little space to spend.
While Yue Qing was thinking, she followed Mo Xue and others to the main seat in the palace. Qing'er helped her sit on the seat that could be used as a bed. Yue Qing sat aside and touched the red sculpture beside her. The bird looks like a rosefinch, a firebird. The other side is symmetrical.
Then Yue Qing looked up at the few people who came with her, thinking about when she came just now. Qing'er and Qiao'er cleaned themselves up for a while before letting themselves go out. As soon as they came out of the pavilion, several deacons except Medical Officer She were standing outside the door, and then there were several red guards. Also coming with him was the Lord of Yue City. Yue Qing was shocked, why is it so formal?
Everyone, including Lord Yue, who was sitting in the sedan chair and being carried all the way, was on foot and frowned again. Then Yue Qing saw the newly installed soft chairs beside the flower beds and pools in the courtyard, and glanced at Yue Ke. She just wanted to distract Qing'er on a whim and let her move a chair, facing the flower pool. There are so many of them. Yue Qing walked all the way and there was one at every other section.
Yue Ke saw her looking at the chair and introduced it with a smile. This chair was designed to rotate in circles and could face wherever she wanted. Yue Qing was speechless for a while and told him not to do such things again.
Several people came here with him all the way. The main seat in this hall is on a stage and is divided into two floors. The height difference of each floor is not big, but it is very wide. The main seat is on the highest floor. Before he came in, there were already many guards standing on both sides of the hall. City Lord Yue did not follow Yue Qing, but stood in the middle of the hall below, followed by several people from Xibao City.
Yue Ke, Chang Ge, Qi Jiao, and Mo Wei stopped on the middle floor. After they stood, a gauze curtain separated City Lord Yue from them.
Then when Yueqing took the seat of honor, another gauze curtain separated her from several deacons.
Chang Song and others stood on both sides of the main seat. Yue Qing saw Qingwei holding another curtain, stopped them and said to Mo Xue: "Deacon Xue, is that foreign envoy down there with Lord Yue and the others?"
"yes."
"It's so far away and there are three layers of gauze. I can't see anything. Do I have to pull it? Don't pull it. Just one layer at most."
Mo Xue frowned: "The spiritual daughter of the Villa never sees outsiders. If the hospital wants to receive foreign envoys, it is best to open the gauze curtain."
Yue Qing looked at him, "What can you see from such a distance? It's the same as if I haven't seen you now. And the deacons can't see people either. Just pull away and leave a layer."
Mo Xue thought for a while and said: "It will be done as the hospital master wishes." After saying that, he asked the Qingwei to open the two layers of gauze curtains inside. Yue Qing looked much more comfortable and could almost see the figures of Yue Chengzhu and others. .
Seeing her, I have no other opinions. Mo Xue said: "Master, the envoy will arrive shortly. Yue Qing does not need to speak, just nod and shake her head, and I will convey the Master's meaning."
Yue Qing nodded. "Okay." He said and put his legs on the chair. This soft chair was quite comfortable to sit on.
Mo Xue sat at the desk on the side.
He took a look at the snacks, fruits, drinks, and dishes prepared on the table in front of him. I just saw a small table below with some things on it. It looked like a banquet.
Looking at City Master Yue and several deacons standing outside, he said to Mo Xue: "Why are you all standing? Please sit down."
Everyone sat down one after another, there were exactly four deacons, two on each side of the middle stage.
City Lord Yue is at the top of the table, and several people from Xibao City are sitting below him and in the row behind him.
