I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 94
Gu Yuanbai looked at the blood stains. After a while, he got out of bed and walked to the window. The sun shone in, making him so blind that he couldn’t even see the scenery outside clearly.
The bright sunshine is the perfect weather to set off.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes to block the dazzling sun, and laughed muffledly a few times.
Good method, Xue Jiuyao.
The people next to me were cautious: “Your Majesty?”
Gu Yuanbai smiled for a while, then turned around and said, “Here comes someone.”
*
Xue Yuan came like a gust of wind and left like a gust of wind.
After the night passed, no one knew that another Xue Jiuyao had come yesterday. When Gu Yuanbai and others were warming tea in the pavilion, he was still thinking about what other skills he had. When he heard others shouting several times, he recovered and looked up.
Kong Yilin smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you took a dip in the spring yesterday. Did you feel a little warmer?”
“Indeed,” Gu Yuanbai, “a wild bird ran over halfway and dropped a few feathers in my pond.”
Kong Yilin sighed: “In this season, I didn’t expect to see birds here with the prince.”
Many young talents were accompanying them, and they all wanted to show off in front of the Holy Master. They were bored by sitting there, and after asking for permission, they regarded it as a small literary party. For now, use flower branches as a medium, and whoever you point to will write a poem.
This is a common appetizer at cultural gatherings. San Yuyan smiled slightly and put his hands behind his back, feeling very confident. Gu Yuanbai deliberately built up momentum and reputation for San Yuyan, but his reputation was out of this world. Many of these people regarded him as a strong rival.
Tang Mian was young and had not yet been crowned. He took the initiative to run out of the pavilion and picked off a budding hibiscus flower. When he was about to run back with a smile on his face, he turned around and met Prince He’s face.
Tang Mian’s face turned pale with fright, and his words were trembling, “W-Wang Ye…”
Prince He glanced at him coldly, implying a warning, “How dare you appear in front of the Holy Master.”
Tang Mian was extremely panicked. Li Yan, the accomplice who hid the paintings of the Holy Emperor with him, was not here either. He was the only one facing Prince He. He was at a loss for a moment, “Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation!”
But Prince He turned around and walked quickly towards the pavilion.
His robes were flying, but Tang Mian was so frightened that he followed him hastily, for fear that Prince He would tell the Holy Emperor what he had done.
In the pavilion, people who had been waiting for Tang Mian for a long time were laughing and chatting. The Holy Emperor was surrounded by everyone, and talented young officials gathered on both sides of him. These officials were all the pride of heaven. They were admitted to the Imperial Academy at a young age. Kong Yilin’s ability to make friends with these people just showed that These are not pedantic people.
He was full of poetry and calligraphy, and there were so many talented people here. The first person he and the prince looked at was Gu Yuanbai.
His breath settled down, and he stepped forward neatly and saluted: “I pay my respects to the Holy One.”
“Prince He is here,” Gu Yuanbai smiled and patted his side, “Sit down.”
The officials bowed to Prince He and backed away. Prince He walked up and sat down. Gu Yuanbai looked sideways at him, “I was a little tired yesterday and went to bed early. I heard from Tian Fusheng this morning that Prince He came over to see me last night. It seemed that something happened. Want to talk to me?”
Tang Mian followed closely. Hearing these words, he felt like stars were in his eyes and he was dizzy.
Prince He did not talk about him, but looked down at the python pattern on his clothes, as calm as a pool of death: “Your Majesty, I just want to tell you a happy event. The doctor came to the clinic a few days ago for treatment, and the princess is pregnant.”
Gu Yuanbai looked at him sharply.
Prince He was still looking at the hands on his knees, with a cold profile and unnatural spasms in his fingers. He looked not like a husband who had learned that his wife had a child, but like a cold executioner, “Madam, it is not appropriate to face the saint now.” , she was a little frightened a few days ago, and the doctor said that she should have a good pregnancy at home at all times. ”
The bloodline of these two former emperors finally has a next generation.
Tian Fusheng murmured: “It’s a big happy event, a huge happy event.”
When the late emperor was still alive, he and the prince had been fighting hard in the army. They were away all year round without returning to the palace, and the palace of the prince and the prince had fallen into ashes. After returning to the capital, I haven’t heard any news about his heirs for such a long time. In addition, the late emperor also had few heirs. Many people speculated whether the royal bloodline was so difficult to extend.
Everyone raised their hands in congratulations, with smiles on their faces, and for a moment they just felt joyful. After a few polite words with the prince, Gu Yuanbai asked: “How old is the fetus?”
“It’s been almost two months,” He and the Prince exchanged lips, “Moyue got it after the Holy Wanshou Festival. He is really blessed.”
Gu Yuanbai smiled and said loudly: “Tian Fusheng, reward!”
Tian Fusheng also responded loudly: “Yes!”
Prince He said: “I would like to thank the Holy One on behalf of the princess.”
Gu Yuanbai smiled and shook his head, took He Prince’s arm to stand up, and walked slowly down the pavilion with him, intending to say some private words between brothers.
Prince He, who was behind him, looked down at his hand and felt why it was so slender and thin. It was as white as transparent against his dark uniform.
The princess’s hands are also white, but they don’t have the meridians and veins of a man. Even though these hands are pampered, they are still the hands of a man, the only pair of hands in the world.
In those late night hours, Prince He would lie on the princess’s body, grabbing her arms and clasping them above her head. Sometimes when he was sweating profusely, he would clasp the princess’s chin while he was absent-minded, and shout: “Gu Lian.”
The princess knew what he was thinking.
But Prince He was very relaxed. As if he had finally found someone who could listen to him tell these secrets, he told the princess unscrupulously the words in his heart that were enough to anger his ancestors to death and to suffer divine punishment.
The princess was trembling with fear, but there was no need to be afraid. Prince He would not do anything to her. On the contrary, Prince He would give her a child, a child who could bear her future wealth and glory.
The Holy Lord Tong and the Prince walked away slowly. Both of them were tall and slender. Everyone in the pavilion watched them walking further and further away, with more or less disappointment showing on their faces.
Kong Yilin took the initiative and said, “Everyone, should we continue?”
Chu Wei looked away, lowered his eyes and said calmly: “We have already agreed, let’s continue.”
Tang Mian presented the hibiscus flowers, and Kong Yilin looked at his face with a flash in his eyes, “Master Tang, why do you look so bad?”
Tang barely managed to hold on, “She must be a little bit cold.”

Among the green leaves and red flowers, on the gravel path.
The Holy Master walked slowly, his footsteps low, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water. Gu Yuanbai put his hands in his sleeves, his sleeves were hanging down, and he said earnestly: “Brother, you have worked hard with the princess, so you should take good care of her. Zhuang Zi, I think it’s good. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, you can take the princess out for a walk. Once you leave, don’t stay motionless in the house.”
“Your Majesty also likes this Zhuangzi?” Prince He nodded vaguely, “I will naturally take good care of the princess, Your Majesty, don’t worry. Having said that, this Zhuangzi has no name until now. The four characters of Prince He’s Mansion are the words “Shengshang” Why don’t you, the Holy One, also give Zhuangzi a name?”
Gu Yuanbai was well aware of his naming ability, “No. If you want my inscription, just tell me after you name it, and I will have it delivered to your house after I write it.”
Prince He looked relaxed and said, “Okay.”
The Holy Sage sighed, “We brothers still have no descendants, and it is very disturbing to tell you. I am not in good health, and I often worry about this. Now that I heard this news, I finally feel like the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining brightly.” ”
The two wolves stared at the prince with their ferocious eyes, making terrible whining sounds from their throats. Each of them required two or three guards to pull hard at the same time to prevent them from rushing up and biting the prince.
Prince He glanced at the two wolves and crossed them with displeasure, “The same goes for me.”
The two chatted for a while, and when they were about to reach the end of the road, the prince and he suddenly stopped and frowned: “Your Majesty, I came to you last night not just to report the princess’s happiness. The month before, the Xixia envoy Someone once sent a gift to my house, saying it was an apology, but they couldn’t tell what kind of apology it was, so I didn’t accept it. These days, they gave me another gift. The gift was not thin, and it seemed like something was wrong. Ask for each other.”
Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help laughing, “You accept it?”
Prince He sneered, “A little Xixia has offered bribes in front of me. He is so bold. How could I accept it?”
Gu Yuanbai felt pity and was about to express his regret, but when he saw Prince He’s face which was obviously hiding disdain, he instantly admired Prince He’s righteousness that would not be captured by money.
As expected of Prince He, he was different from ordinary people like Gu Yuanbai who were watching the excitement all the time and thinking about how to deceive the Xixia envoys.
After Gu Yuanbai finished admiring him, he asked curiously: “What gift did they give you?”
After choosing a few items that he could remember with the prince, Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, he smiled, with desire shining in his eyes: “What a coincidence, why do these things please me so much?”
It’s time for him to talk to Xixia about the situation.

Xue Yuan ran out of the capital when the sky was dark. When he passed the first post station on the way, he was stopped by people who greeted him respectfully in front of the inn door.
The men took away his horses and prepared hot water and hot dishes. A good room, a soft bed, excellent medicinal materials, as well as doctors and attentive servants waiting respectfully to treat Xue Yuan’s injuries.
After Xue Yuan had a good night’s rest, his horse was led out early the next morning. The horse had smooth hair and beautiful and exquisite harnesses. The horse had a loud snort and sufficient water and water were prepared on the horse. The dried meat is as energetic as its owner.
Xue Yuan got on his horse in confusion and rushed towards northern Xinjiang again. But every time he passed by a post station, he would be treated so generally and properly. Sometimes when he didn’t make it to the inn station, the people at the inn station would even bring stoves and seasonings and go to the barren mountains to find him and cook him a delicious meal in the wild. dish.
After repeated attempts, Xue Yuan understood that this was a reward from the emperor.
Xue Yuan chuckled, his chest trembling.
This was His Majesty the Emperor telling him that even though Gu Yuanbai was weak, had cold hands and feet, and would get sick if he was not careful, His Majesty the Emperor still firmly occupies the position of the superior, and he can use his overwhelming power to To give Xue Yuan comfort along the way.
Such a reward forcibly treated Xue Yuan like a concubine in the emperor’s harem, needing to be cared for and receiving strong favor from the Holy One.
Sure enough, it is the subjects who fall into the arms of the emperor, not the emperor who falls into the arms of his ministers.
Xue Yuan accepted it calmly.
When the emperor’s favor really fell, the treatment was unimaginable to ordinary people. The horses were changed every day, the rations were as good as those in Beijing, the fruits were fresh and fragrant, and the clothes were full of smoke every day. Long lasting fragrance.
If Xue Yuan hadn’t been pressed for time, he even believed that these people would have sent him to Northern Xinjiang like they were carrying the statue.
Such behavior would undoubtedly prolong Xue Yuan’s journey, but Xue Yuan still accepted the emperor’s arrangements one by one.
No matter how tired the heart is, it will turn into water.
Xue Yuan was not willing to refuse these things that he had put a lot of thought into.
