I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 83
No one can know what Gu Yuanbai is thinking in his heart. No matter how Li Angshun thought about it, he never imagined that Emperor Daheng, who looked graceful and luxurious on the surface, was already thinking about how to take the entire Xixia as his own.
Li Angshun, who was originally full of resentment, now only felt that he was being looked at. This embarrassing feeling did not slowly dissipate until he was led down by the eunuch.
When no one was around, Gu Yuanbai wiped his hands and asked, “Where is the Fuso Messenger sitting?”
Tian Fusheng always felt that His Majesty seemed to pay special attention to the envoy from Fusang Kingdom. He whispered back: “Your Majesty, it is at the bottom of the Xixia envoy.”
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyes to look, but it was a pity that the distance was too far and he couldn’t see clearly. He had specifically seen the number of congratulatory gifts sent by Fuso State before. Among several neighboring countries, the congratulatory gifts sent by Fuso State were among the best.
Fusang has been a vassal state of China since the Han Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, people were sent to study in the Tang Dynasty to return home and develop their own national strength. After the Tang Dynasty changed hands, the dynasty went through many twists and turns, and now it has become Daheng. Fusang is also very respectful to Daheng and still wants to maintain a good relationship with Daheng.
In Gu Yuanbai’s eyes, this country was undeniably special.
Gu Yuanbai withdrew his eyes, but noticed a gaze from the left side. Then he looked and saw that his wife raised his glass to Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai smiled and raised his glass to him.
The moment the white jade wine glass touched his lips, Gu Yuanbai raised his eyebrows and suddenly remembered that the white jade glass he had missed before seemed to have been taken away by Xue Yuan.
Thinking of Xue Yuan, Gu Yuanbai thought of the two wolves. He turned around and looked aside. The two wolves had already been placed by someone and were lying in a hidden corner, wolfing down fresh meat.
It tastes better than mine.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly wanted to snort. He turned away, put aside other thoughts for the time being, and began to eat his meal seriously.
After three rounds of drinking, the sky was getting dark. After the banquet, the palace attendants sent out the officials and envoys. Gu Yuanbai walked out of the palace and came to the imperial garden to take a breath of fresh air.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers and plants floats.
Gu Yuanbai put his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright moon on the branches. Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps. He turned his head and saw that the prince and the prince were staggering over, smelling of alcohol and being helped by the eunuch. .
The eunuch who tried his best to support Prince He said, “Your Majesty, Prince He is drunk and doesn’t want to leave the palace.”
Hearing the word “Holy Lord”, he burped with the prince. He waved away the eunuchs around him and forced himself to stand up straight. His eyes turned around and finally landed on Gu Yuanbai. He stared and said, “Don’t drive me back.”
Gu Yuanbai said: “This is how much I drank. I smell of alcohol all over my body.”
But Prince He was silent. He only looked at Gu Yuanbai, as if he suddenly didn’t recognize Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai laughed and said jokingly: “Why does Prince He look like this and don’t you recognize me?”
“You are the emperor,” Prince He said solemnly, word by word, “Emperor, younger brother.”
Gu Yuanbai responded with a nasal voice and said to the eunuch: “Take him to Huayi Palace to rest.”
The eunuchs responded in unison.
Gu Yuanbai withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the bright moonlight, but he and the prince were unwilling to leave. He stood stubbornly and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Gu Yuanbai ignored him.
Prince He refused to give up, “I called you, why didn’t you respond?”
“I’m too lazy to talk to drunkards.” Gu Yuanbai said leisurely.
Prince He said: “I am not drunk.”
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help laughing, he said to the palace attendant: “Why don’t you take the prince back with you?”
The palace attendants surrounded Prince He, urging him in low voices, and holding him in their hands, half softly and half hard, trying to take Prince He away. Prince He couldn’t move, but couldn’t bear the pulling of others. After a while, he seemed to wake up, wiped his face and said: “Let me blow some wind, Your Majesty, let me blow the wind with you for a while.”
It wasn’t until Gu Yuanbai nodded that the palace attendants surrounding He Prince stepped aside. Gu Yuanbai walked among the paths, and the bright moon above his head followed him.
The gentle and white moonlight falls gently, and there is a layer of silver light from the falling snow everywhere.
He and the prince followed behind. As he walked, he became dizzy again and his steps began to become unsteady. When passing a rockery, he suddenly grabbed Gu Yuanbai’s hand and held the emperor still. .
Gu Yuanbai frowned, “Gu Zhao.”
Prince He breathed one after another, his fingers contracted, and the smell of alcohol on his body went under Gu Yuanbai’s nose. The palace man who was far behind him was about to step forward when he spoke to the prince: “Gu Lian.”
He said in a low voice, “Why don’t you marry the palace concubine.”
Gu Yuanbai calmly replied: “I told you once, do you want me to die on the palace concubine’s bed?”
“But you can’t even fall in love with a woman,” Prince He lowered his head and could only hold Gu Yuanbai’s hand hard, “How can you still have children.”
Gu Yuanbai said: “There are also clan members and you.”
Prince He’s fingers twitched and his heart jumped, “Me?”
“You’re going to have kids too.”
Prince He was stiff. After a long time, he took the initiative to let go of Gu Yuanbai’s hand and murmured: “As expected of the emperor.”
He is indeed the emperor chosen by the late emperor to take the throne.
He walked past Gu Yuanbai in despair, his steps shaky. Just as Gu Yuanbai was about to let someone step forward to help him, his brows suddenly condensed, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Prince He behind him.
Two pairs of beast eyes lit up in the darkness, and the two wolves were strong and vigorous, charging towards this place quickly. Their eyes glowed green, staring at Prince He fiercely.
The screams became more dangerous and the sharp teeth were exposed. Gu Yuanbai ordered them sternly: “Back off.”
The two wolves circled around Gu Yuanbai several times, looking for an opportunity to bite the prince. Gu Yuanbai kicked them twice without ceremony, pointed to the distance and said: “Get out.”
After several repetitions, the two wolves whined and clamped their tails between their legs, and slowly retreated into the darkness.
After this, Prince He completely cleared away the smell of alcohol, and his back started to sweat a little, “Holy lord, do you have a wolf by your side?”
Gu Yuanbai responded perfunctorily, and all he could think about was that what Xue Yuan said was true.
Prince He frowned, “How can you keep a wolf by your side?”
He talked a lot more, but Gu Yuanbai couldn’t bear to listen. He asked people to take He and Prince to Huayi Palace, and sent guards to protect He and Prince to prevent his fingers from being bitten off by these two wolves.
Before leaving, Prince He didn’t know what he thought of, and his tone suddenly darkened, “Your Majesty, were these two wolves given to you by Xue Yuan?”
Gu Yuanbai: “What’s wrong with it?”
Prince He looked at him deeply, followed the palace attendant and left with his head down.
When Prince He disappeared, Gu Yuanbai took a walk again. Two wolves were behind him, pitifully afraid to get close. Gu Yuanbai was not afraid of them, but the others had chills running down their spines and the hairs on their bodies stood up because of the two wolves.
“Holy, Your Majesty,” Tian Fusheng said cautiously, “It’s already getting late.”
Gu Yuanbai looked at the sky and said, “Then go back.”
Before falling asleep, the emperor went to take a bath. While the Holy One was bathing, the two adult wolves that had been raised with thick and black hair also walked into the hall, fawningly holding the shoes scattered on the ground in front of Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes and took a look at them. He raised the corners of his lips in the heat, “The objects resemble their masters.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two wolves put down their dragon boots, bent down curiously, and stretched out their tongues to lick the hot water in the pool.
Gu Yuanbai: “…”
Is this the wolf that Xue Yuan, a cultural man, tamed through all the hard work?
