Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 288: Entering the Palace (4)
Yue Qing said truthfully: "It's very big and spectacular. The villa is also very big, but compared with Li Palace, it's far behind."
Li Huang said: "Really? I heard that there are many towering buildings in the villa."
"Yes, there are several of them, but none of them are as majestic as Li Palace."
Emperor Li nodded: "Is Yu Qing willing to live in this palace?"
Chang Ge immediately looked over and was about to speak when Yue Qing said, "Can I run around and play while living in the palace?"
Li Huang said: "There are naturally rules in the palace."
"That won't work. It's better to be free in the villa."
Chang Ge felt relieved.
Li Huang said lovingly: "Well, I heard from Mu Shang that you are a fun-loving person, and you are indeed such a personality. I also have a son who is not easy to worry about. You are about the same age. When you have nothing to do, you can let me know. He takes you to play."
Yue Qing followed his gaze and looked at the three young men sitting opposite. I've actually noticed it just now, is it the prince? I just don't know who Emperor Li is referring to.
Without letting her guess for long, Li Huang continued: "Mu Cheng, why don't you come out to see me?"
The man sitting three seats stood up and said, "Yes, Father. I have long heard that Sister Yuqing is a beautiful person. When I saw her today, she was so beautiful that I was stunned. Sister Yuqing, if you are like this in the future, If you want to go anywhere, just tell me and I can take you there. I know a lot of interesting places."
Emperor Li taught him a lesson: "Humph, for princes of similar age, you are the only one who has fun. Now that Yu Qing is here, it can be considered to be of some use. I will take care of you more in the palace. If anything goes wrong, I will blame you." "
The prince nodded: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Sister Yuqing."
Yuqing looked at him without expressing any opinion.
Li Huang introduced: "Yu Qing probably doesn't know you yet. Let me tell you. The one standing is the fourth prince. He is the least useful, but he is good at playing. The two sitting there are the prince and the second prince. The third one is the prince and the second prince. Everyone is about the same age as you, so you can get along with them more in the future.”
Yue Qing nodded and thought to herself, this is not an attempt to pull a red line, right? The seventh elder has said that she cannot marry into the royal family, and she is not interested.
Emperor Li was satisfied, "Well, today a distinguished guest is here. What do you think?"
Someone in the palace stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the princess' return to Li Country this time represents the friendly exchanges between the Villa and Li Country."
"Yes, that makes sense. But I heard that the princess had some issues with General Zhang when she first arrived in Li State. Yuqing has something to do with it."
Hearing this, Yue Qing glanced at Mo Xue and the others, and then at the general in the palace.
After thinking for a while, he replied: "It seems that this is indeed the case, but uncle the emperor, you don't have to blame General Zhang."
Li Huang raised his lips: "Oh, why."
Yue Qing said: "Because the main reason for this festival is that the two parties have different ideas. General Zhang was angry again and said a few words that people didn't like to hear. And I had already vented my anger at that time, not only in my words He defeated him in battle, and also surpassed him in the martial arts he was good at."
After saying that, he chuckled. "He suffered a loss. When I thought about it later, I felt that I had gone too far. General Zhang, please don't take it to heart because I am still young."
General Zhang immediately came out and bent down and said: "Your Majesty, I did make a mistake, and my skills are inferior to others. I am willing to acquit Princess Yuqing."
Emperor Li did not let him get up immediately, but looked at Qi Jiao and said, "This one must be the Commander Jiao who fought against General Zhang. He is really skilled in martial arts."
Qi Jiao said coldly: "I don't dare to take it. General Zhang is not bad either."
Li Huang smiled and said to General Zhang: "My love, please be safe. Since the princess said so, the matter is over. You must not act rashly in the future."
General Zhang immediately agreed and retreated.
The civil servant in front said again, "Your Majesty, I also heard that the Red Guards are the most famous in the villa in terms of military force. I didn't know that Commander Jiao is in charge of the Red Guards."
Emperor Li nodded and looked at Qi Jiao with interest.
Qi Jiao looked at the civil servant: "This gentleman knows a lot, but there are not that many red guards in the villa to lead."
The civil servant then asked: "Then I wonder what kind of army Commander Jiao is commanding?"
Commander Jiao said: "My lord, I have so many questions, Qi Jiao has nothing to say."
Another official smiled and said: "It can't be a false name, it's too embarrassing to tell us."
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
Emperor Li looked at the faces of everyone in the villa and stopped him: "Don't make nonsense. Distinguished guests from all the families in the villa are here today. Such remarks will damage the dignity of our country, Li, and we are not afraid of making people laugh."
The palace instantly became quiet.
The civil servant said: "Your Majesty, the villa has a long history and does not engage in diplomacy with other countries. It is rare to see so many people appear together today. I and others are inevitably curious. I think that the villa is so prosperous and powerful, so the etiquette must not be bad. Wherever you go, you can always introduce yourself in Fei Luan Hall."
All the ministers nodded. A civil servant continued: "What Mr. Qin said makes sense. Your Majesty, we are very curious about the status of everyone sitting in the villa. I think that if you can sit with the head of the Yue family, you must be a person of noble status."
"Yeah yeah."
"That makes sense."
"..."
There was a burst of noisy discussion in the hall. Emperor Li stopped trying to persuade him and looked embarrassed.
Yue Qing glanced at the civil servant again, and it turned out that this was Prime Minister Qin. Didn't Yuze say that his son said that the Yongjing Palace relies on women to get to the top? Looking at Mo Xue and the others again, none of them seemed angry.
Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Emperor Li said, "Mr. Mo, you see, my dear friends are so curious that I can't stop them. Why don't you just satisfy their curiosity, Mr. Mo?" Let me introduce you to everyone in the villa."
Mo Xue smiled and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty Li, please forgive me, our Villa has never had diplomacy. We don't have any special status. We are just attendants who accompany the young lady to Li Country. Li Country is a huge country, and we can't even think about it. We will look at people based on their status, and our villa never cares about fame and fortune.
The reason why this gentleman is curious is probably because he wants to consider whether we are qualified to sit in this hall. "
"What do you think, dear friends?"
When Prime Minister Qin was about to speak, King Bowei said: "Your Majesty, I think this method is feasible. There is no diplomacy in the villa, which is known to all countries. And the fact that Mr. Mo and others can come to our country of Li is just a new beginning. We, Li, should behave as a great country."
Emperor Li nodded. "What Aiqing said makes sense. So, do you have any opinions on Mr. Mo's suggestions?"
King Bowei said: "Since ancient times, there is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts. I think it is better to ask the question from the aspect of martial arts. Firstly, the source of this problem comes from the competition between General Zhang and Commander Jiao. Secondly, Come and I can answer the doubts in the hearts of all the adults as soon as possible."
"What do you think, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Xiang said: "Your Majesty, although what King Bowei said has some truth, we civil servants don't understand this martial arts. Who is strong and who is weak can't be clearly distinguished. This kind of literary fight is also indispensable. In addition, I heard that in the villa, There are many skilled craftsmen in the country, and the production of various crafts is far superior to that of our country, Li. I would like to see it."
Li Huang said with a smile: "Well, since everyone has no objection to Mr. Mo's opinion, let's have a competition, first with martial arts, and then with literary combat. In addition, I hope that there will be someone in the villa to let you open up in terms of craftsmanship. What does Mr. Mo think about his vision?"
Mo Xue nodded and said, "Okay, but I hope it won't take too long."
"Okay, Prime Minister Qin."
"I'm here."
"Arrange it immediately. Three competitions will be held in the next few days. Talents will be carefully selected. The winner will be rewarded."
"Yes, I feel that it is easy to distinguish between high and low in martial arts, so it is better to hold it today. Today, the palace has prepared a night banquet for Princess Shun'an and everyone in the villa. It is better to hold this martial arts during the night banquet."
"good."
Prime Minister Qin retreated.
Emperor Li glanced at Chang Yuxiao, "Speaking of this martial arts fight, I heard that Prince Yuxiao, the adopted son of King Yongjing, is quite powerful in martial arts. Changyuxiao, there happens to be a vacancy in my imperial guard. You Do you want to serve in this palace?"
Chang Yuxiao stood up and bent down to salute: "Back to the emperor, the common people are used to being idle and don't like to be restrained. I'm afraid they won't be able to do the job."
Emperor Li didn't let him get up, "I heard that you are also the Red Guard of the Villa."
"yes."
"But because of this relationship, I can't agree to it. Could it be that there is a rule in the villa that if you become a red guard, you can't go home."
San Yuxiao said: "It's not this reason, it's the Cao Min's own reasons. The Cao Min voluntarily stays in the villa forever."
Emperor Li narrowed his eyes: "Don't forget that you are from Li country."
Chang Yuxiao stood up: "The common people know, but the common people have already made up their mind and will not change it."
There was another burst of discussion from His Highness.
Emperor Li: "Well, I'm not someone who wants to force you. Since you don't want to, I won't force you to stay. I just hope you can remember that the country of Li has raised you, and you must not do anything to betray our country, the country of Li."
"Yes, Cao Min understands."
Emperor Li said lovingly: "You are the brother of Princess Shun'an. You don't need to call yourself a commoner anymore. Just follow your sister's example and call yourself me."
San Yuxiao said: "Yes."
Li Huang sighed: "Okay, let's go down."
San Yuxiao retreated to Yue Qing and sat down.
Yue Qing glanced at him and glared at Emperor Li with a pout.
Of course Li Huang noticed it, "What's wrong? Yu Qing has something to say."
Yue Qing said: "Uncle Emperor, why are you being mean to my brother? My brother has been with me since I was a child, and he has always taken care of me in the villa. If you are mean to him, I won't be happy. I won't like you anymore."
Emperor Li laughed loudly: "You child, you are a protector of your own shortcomings. It's just that the people of Li country are all my subjects. If San Yuxiao openly said that he would submit to the Villa in front of all the ministers, he would be harming my face. Originally, I You can kill him. But I didn't do that. I just gave you a warning and made you unhappy."
Yue Qing thought for a while, "What you said seems to make sense."
Emperor Li nodded: "Well, it's good that Yu Qing understands."
Yue Qing continued: "But you can't be harsh on my brother. He is the closest person to me in Li Guo, closer than my mother. Yuqing also saw that the emperor's uncle was very kind, so he didn't get angry. Otherwise, he would be like the right one. Just like General Zhang, Uncle Huang cannot stand down in front of everyone."
Li Huang laughed again: "Really? How do you plan to prevent me from coming to Taiwan?"
Yue Qing said: "I can't think of it now, because I think you are very good to me and can't do that kind of thing. Uncle Emperor, don't you believe it? You can ask King Bowei, I usually have a very venomous mouth, and I never do. Suffer a loss."
Emperor Li nodded: "Well, I also think that Yu Qing is very satisfied with me, but it's a pity that I can't see Yu Qing's power. I must see it someday."
Yue Qing smiled.
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
