I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 113
Gu Yuanbai said: “Come in.”
In the blink of an eye, a man jumped down from the tall city wall. The imperial guards guarding the city subconsciously raised their spears towards him, and then quickly looked at Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai rubbed his brows and said to the imperial guards: “Press him to the city gate and let him enter the palace through the palace gate.”
When Xue Yuan saw the Holy Master again, he was already in the Xuanzheng Hall.
The Holy Father had just finished his meal and was going to take a bath soon. At this moment, he saw Xue Yuan coming. He raised his eyelids loosely and then dropped them on the memorial again.
Xue Yuan smiled when he looked at Gu Yuanbai, and finished the ceremony politely, “Your Majesty, can I decide on the day of the Lantern Festival first?”
Before he finished speaking, he caught a book that was thrown at him. Xue Yuan looked up and saw that the expression on his face did not change and he picked up another memorial.
Xue Yuan smiled helplessly, “My lord, why are you willing to give me a chance?”
Gu Yuanbai said: “First, tell me why you came to see me today.”
Hearing this, Xue Yuan closed the book and handed it to Tian Fusheng, and said honestly: “I heard that the Holy One went to the Chu Mansion a few days ago.”
Gu Yuanbai said “hmm” and asked him to continue.
“After I found out, I went to the Chu Mansion to take a look,” Xue Yuan said, “and found that the ten fingers on Lord Chu Wei’s hands were still intact. It seems that the Holy Lord liked Lord Chu’s hands very much. Also, this pair can give the Holy Lord Who doesn’t like painting hands?”
Gu Yuanbai suddenly asked: “Where is the wooden statue you carved for me?”
Xue Yuan suddenly got stuck, coughed a few times, and said: “Give it to the Holy Spirit on the Lantern Festival.”
“Two days and two days, Xue Jiuyao, if you don’t know how to statue, just say so. There is no need to delay like this.” Gu Yuanbai curled his lips silently and finally looked up at him, “Why do you regret those two wolves in your heart?” Didn’t you bite off Chu Qing’s finger?”
Xue Yuan said politely: “Where is it?”
Gu Yuanbai was happy and laughed muffledly. After just laughing for a moment, he felt weak in his arms and legs and his chest felt tight. He stopped laughing and frowned involuntarily.
Xue Yuan had already rushed in front of him, not daring to touch him with his hands, and said cautiously: “Your Majesty?”
Gu Yuanbai held his arm tightly and slowly sat up straight, “I don’t know why lately, but I always feel a little weak in my hands and feet. I usually smile a lot and nothing will happen, but now I can’t.”
Panic arose in Xue Yuan’s heart. He came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down: “What did the imperial doctor say?”
“Tired.”
Gu Yuanbai said.
Xue Yuan tidied the hair around his ears, and Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and felt better, “Every day when I feel weak in my hands and feet, it’s always after I come back from a walk in the imperial garden, and I recover within a short while after returning to the palace. He has gained strength and is even energetic. The doctor must be right, but if he can’t walk anymore, won’t he become disabled if he keeps sitting in the palace?”
“That’s right.” Xue Yuan agreed in a low voice, but his brows were still furrowed.
Tian Fusheng’s affairs were all taken over by Xue Yuan. The old eunuch had no choice but to look at his expression outside and said, “Your Majesty, it’s time to take a bath.”
Xue Yuan suppressed his worries and blurted out: “Your Majesty, I will wash your hair.”
The hall was silent for a moment, and Gu Yuanbai suddenly laughed, “Then it’s up to you.”
*
In the spring hall.
Gu Yuanbai raised his head, his black hair soaking in the spring water, swaying with the ripples. Xue Yuan held his black hair as smooth as satin and loved it. “Every strand of His Majesty’s hair is worth tens of thousands of gold to me.”
Hearing this, Gu Yuanbai took down a piece of hair and wrapped it around Xue Yuan’s wrist, “Bring me ten thousand gold.”
Xue Yuan thought to himself, he is so heartless.
He took out an emerald jade ring from his arms and put it on Gu Yuanbai’s thumb, “Your Majesty, this thing was bought with ten thousand gold.”
I couldn’t help but say, “Don’t lose it again.”
The word “lost” made Gu Yuanbai feel a little guilty. He raised his hand and looked at it. The jade ring finger was still the same as before, with a deep green color. Even if the jade ring ring was not worth ten thousand gold, it was now unusual because It rolled from the palace to Northern Xinjiang, and then returned to the emperor’s hands from Northern Xinjiang.
Not only was the bird carrying me flying, but also I saw what the bottom of the palace lake looked like, and I saw the heavy snow that submerged the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang. Tens of thousands of dollars couldn’t buy these insights.
Gu Yuanbai was a good young man in society and never took advantage of others in vain, so he picked up another fallen hair and wrapped it around Xue Yuan’s other wrist, “Two of them, I’ll reward you.”
Xue Yuan obediently asked him to tie it on, “Your Majesty, don’t you want to go out and have a look during the Lantern Festival?”
Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and lay still on the couch, “Tell me what’s outside.”
Xue Yuan opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say. He had left home since he was a child, and after years of fighting, he had forgotten almost everything he needed to forget. After the palace banquet last year, he went back directly to his home. He didn’t know what to expect in the busy market.
But he was worried that if he said this, Gu Yuanbai would not go out with him, so he said vaguely: “There are many things, countless.”
Gu Yuanbai said: “What?”
Xue Yuan was more vague, “Everything.”
“I didn’t hear you,” Gu Yuanbai frowned and raised his fingers, “Say it in my ear.”
Xue Yuan lowered his body and was about to speak when hot air sprayed into Gu Yuanbai’s ears. He couldn’t help but glance at His Majesty’s ears. His Majesty was lying flat on the beauty’s couch, wearing only a single piece of clothing. From the side of his ears to his neck, he could clearly see everything at a glance.
The single clothes were hidden under the neck, and the slender neck was shining with white light. There was a slight rise and fall at the mouth of the clothes, as if you could follow it if you fiddled with it gently.
Xue Yuan forgot everything he wanted to say.
The heat was mixed with moisture, just like Xue Yuan tasted Gu Yuanbai’s ear beads that night. Gu Yuanbai straightened his legs calmly, intending to let Xue Yuan taste his sin of not getting up or down that night.
“Xue Qing,” he said with a half-smile, “speak.”
“Chen…” Xue Yuan opened his mouth and leaned closer. Every word he spoke seemed to touch the ear of the Holy Emperor, and every word he said could be eaten in his mouth. His voice was hoarse, “During the Lantern Festival, “There are many kinds of food in the market, including the donkey meat that the Lord ate last time. We can walk from the beginning of the road to the end of the road and buy you whatever you want.”
Gu Yuanbai felt uncomfortable due to the hot air. He moved his ears and wanted to turn his head.
Xue Yuan held his head, told him not to move, and laughed muffledly: “Your Majesty, you are still washing your hair.”
Gu Yuanbai turned his head again, his ear beads moved back and forth in Xue Yuan’s eyes, seeming to attract all of General Xue’s attention on purpose. General Xue couldn’t hold back, and wanted to take the opportunity to speak “unintentionally” He took a sip, but just as he was about to get closer, Gu Yuanbai said, “Are you done?”
Xue Yuan just choked on the spot, closed his mouth, and thought about his words again: “There are many things to play with. I have carved wooden sculptures for the Holy Spirit. There should be craftsmen who make candy figures during the Lantern Festival.”
Gu Yuanbai closed his eyes and hid the faint smile on his lips, “Candyman, did you do well?”
Xue Yuan was close again, and his lips had already touched the white jade-like beads. Gu Yuanbai turned his head and said lazily: “Turning my hair.”
Xue Yuan: “…”
He took a deep breath and left to wash the Lord’s soaked black hair.
The smile flashed across the Holy Master’s face, and then quickly disappeared.

Before the Lantern Festival comes, the things sent by Xixia are put into the warehouse first.
“Five thousand fine horses, ten thousand cattle and sheep, five million taels of silver, and three million stones of grain,” said the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, “every penny is a lot.”
After hearing this, Gu Yuanbai pondered for a while and asked someone to invite the Xixia envoy to come and see the saint.
Two quarters of an hour later, the second prince of Xixia, Li Angyi, together with the Xixia envoys, came to the audience. Only then did Gu Yuanbai see the face of the second prince. He was three-thirds of the same as the seventh prince, but there seemed to be worry all the time between his eyebrows and eyes, and occasionally he was confused. When Gu Yuanbai’s eyes met, his eyes were evasive and his expression was shrinking, without any hint of princely style.
Therefore, the ministers in the palace only glanced at him, and then turned their attention to the ministers behind the second prince of Xixia. Both sides came and went. During this process, Gu Yuanbai did not say a word, and the second prince of Xixia also buried his head. Make a statement. After the confrontation was over, the second prince of Xixia timidly said under the urging of his courtiers: “Emperor of Daheng, can you let my seventh emperor brother go now?”
Gu Yuanbai looked at him and said slowly: “Here, please bring people up.”
The Xixia people who were under house arrest in Mingshengyi had already been suppressed outside the palace. The guards politely invited Li Angshun and his party into the palace. As soon as he saw the seventh emperor brother, the second prince of Xixia hurriedly greeted him and asked hurriedly: “Seventh brother, how are you spending these days?”
Li Angshun shook off his hand, his face gloomy, “Why are you here so late.”
After the two teams met, the second prince was about to take his people to resign. Gu Yuanbai suddenly smiled and said kindly: “In a few days, it will be my Lantern Festival in Daheng. There is no need for you to go back in a hurry. You will have to wait for the Lantern Festival.” After that, I will entertain you all again so that you can see my style of Daheng.”
The second prince was about to speak, but Li Angshun had already agreed in advance, so he had no choice but to hesitate and shut up helplessly.
The group of people said goodbye and left. Gu Yuanbai looked at their backs, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of warm tea. When the Xixia people were about to step out of the palace, Gu Yuanbai suddenly shouted: “Li Angyi!”
Li Angyi quickly turned to look at the Holy Lord, but his body was still facing forward, “Yes.”
Gu Yuanbai took another sip of tea and said, “I like your national fragrance very much.”
Li Angyi relaxed and even said he didn’t dare before leaving cautiously.
When the person disappeared, Gu Yuanbai lowered his eyes and swept away the floating tea leaves with the lid of the cup.
Li Angyi has the look of a wolf.
A wolf is a person who looks back without turning around, has a ruthless nature, and often harbors the intention of killing and harming animals. ①
The second prince of Xixia is not simple.
