Chapter 218 They are the most compatible in this world
Jun Liluo was very relieved that everyone donated money to supplement the military pay. "You are all thoughtful. I think that the "Marshal Shen's March into the Battle" just now is the most exciting of all the performances. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I don't think there will be a better performance."
"Young General Zhao and Captain Chu are truly the best of the younger generation, and Lord Song is also a good teacher."
Listening to the people around him agreeing, Jun Tianyi slowly added a sentence.
"Although this performance is wonderful, Lord Song's kindness is even more precious. We only know how to show our skills in front of His Majesty to make His Majesty happy. We are not like Lord Song who cares about the country and the people and thinks carefully."
Song Yunchu smiled when he heard this, "Your Highness Prince Yi, thank you for your praise. We are all subjects, and as long as we can make your Majesty happy, that's enough."
[What a scumbag, what a weird guy. 】
[What's the matter? Do you think my little brother's demeanor is more attractive than yours? You can't stand hearing people praising us, so you start to lose your defense and try to flatter me, right? ]
[You are allowed to show off, but I am not allowed to do something serious? With your stunning sword skills, you are so fancy and you think you are so handsome that you deserve to be the center of attention, right?]
[I will steal your limelight and make you angry to death. 】
[Do you think that I am too popular, and if you praise me a little more for caring about the country and the people, the dog emperor will be afraid of me? He is not as petty as you. ]
When Jun Liluo heard the abuse in Song Yunchu's heart, he wanted to laugh, but he also felt relieved.
If the relationship between a monarch and his subjects is not harmonious, and the subject is too outstanding, the monarch will naturally be unhappy and try to suppress him.
But if a monarch and his minister care about each other and understand each other, the minister's excellence will only make the monarch more satisfied.
What's more, he and Yun Chu have already passed the stage of being king and subject, and now they are a couple. If others want to sow discord between them with a few words, they are really making a wrong calculation.
"Yun Chu, there is no need to be modest. The words that the emperor's uncle praised you for are what I wanted to say. There is indeed no one present who is more thoughtful than you."
As Jun Liluo spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "You have made great contributions to the country and you are so generous to the soldiers on the border. Today, I will toast you on behalf of all the soldiers stationed on the border. You must accept it."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu quickly stood up with his wine glass in hand, "I am so humbled. Today is your majesty's birthday, and I should pay my respects to your majesty."
"This is not my thanks. I am thanking you on behalf of Marshal Shen and his men. Tomorrow I will write a letter to Marshal Shen. If they knew that you took the lead in donating so much military pay to them, they would be very happy."
"Since your majesty has said so, I will drink this cup."
Song Yunchu brought the wine glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
Jun Tianyi saw the two of them drinking together and sneered in his heart.
The emperor is now completely defenseless against the Song dog thief.
The thieves of Song Dynasty were recruiting talents everywhere and buying people's hearts. Was the emperor really kept in the dark, or was he so stupid that he didn't bother to care?
Since ancient times, kings who indulged their subjects too much would not have a good ending. The emperor was so unclear that I was afraid that one day in the future, the power of the Song dog thieves would directly threaten the imperial power.
He could no longer allow the Song Party to grow stronger, and he would never allow the Jun family's kingdom to be controlled by a treacherous minister!
If the emperor is not virtuous, he should be replaced.
Jun Tianyi's emotions were surging, and he drank several glasses of wine.
Because "Marshal Shen's March into Battle" was so wonderful, no one tried to show their talent anymore, and only the musicians continued to play the melodious and slow music.
"Master Ye, I didn't know you played the pipa so well before."
At the banquet, Gong Mingyuan smiled at Ye Fengmian and said, "I heard you play the flute in Yuzhou before, and the melody was very nice. Today, your pipa skills are even more eye-opening."
"I have loved music since I was young. I don't know who Lord Song heard about this from, but he brought the music score and asked me to play it. Actually, I didn't plan to perform it at first."
Ye Fengmian knew that Gong Mingyuan was a member of Prime Minister Song's party, and was afraid that the other party would think that he also wanted to be a member of Song's party, so he had to explain quickly.
"I heard from Lord Song that he wanted to spread the achievements of the frontier warriors and inspire young generals to be prepared for danger in times of peace. He also wanted a pipa expert to play this piece, and he wanted me to help him, so I agreed."
"I understand. You are doing this for Marshal Shen and the others." Gong Mingyuan took over the conversation. "Lord Song also has good intentions this time."
"That's true." Ye Fengmian nodded.
Because of the fact that Song Yunchu had pleaded for Concubine Zhen before, he had already changed his opinion of Song Yunchu. Today, seeing Song Yunchu taking the lead in increasing the military pay for the soldiers, he felt even more emotional.
Although Prime Minister Song was arrogant, he treated the people and soldiers very well.
However, there are too many right and wrongs on Song Xiang's side, and he will never take sides easily, otherwise his father will be dissatisfied.
…
After the banquet, the ministers left one after another, and Jun Li Luo also returned to his own palace.
"Little Li, go and get me the gift that Prime Minister Song gave me."
After hearing Jun Liluo's order, Chief Steward Li responded, "Your Majesty, Lord Song said that he would personally give you the gift."
Jun Liluo was a little surprised, "Didn't Yunchu go back?"
He just saw Song Yunchu leaving with the ministers.
"Lord Song has only left the main hall, but has not left the palace. He may be here soon."
As soon as Li Zongguan finished speaking, a palace servant came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Lord Song is outside asking to see you."
Jun Liluo was delighted, but his expression remained calm. "Tell Prime Minister Song to come in. You all wait outside and do not disturb me from discussing matters with Prime Minister Song."
Steward Li and the palace maids retreated.
Song Yunchu walked into the hall and saw Jun Liluo smiling. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips as well, "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at?"
"I thought you left the palace with the ministers." Jun Liluo saw her approaching and took her hand.
Song Yunchu said, "I had originally planned to come to see Your Majesty after the banquet, but Lord Shen called me over. He expressed his gratitude to me and bowed, so I spoke to him for a few more words."
"Chen Yue should indeed thank you. The princes and ministers have been at ease for so long, how many of them can still remember the hardships of the border soldiers? Today you are praising the achievements of the Shen family army and taking the lead in donating military pay. Shen Yue must be very happy in addition to being surprised. He misses his father the most. Now that so many people remember his father's kindness, he is satisfied."
Chen Yue has always been a serious person, and thought Yun Chu was frivolous and presumptuous. But today, seeing that she cares about the soldiers on the border, he will naturally change his opinion of her.
"I'm just doing my part."
Song Yunchu smiled, lowered his head, and took something out from his wide sleeves.
"Your Majesty should still be waiting to open my gift, right?"
Jun Liluo looked at the long silk bag in her hand, his eyes slightly lit up, "What is this?"
It looks like a flute, but also like... a fan?
"Is it a fan?"
As he spoke, he reached out to unseal the silk bag.
It really was a fan! It was made of the same material as the one on Yun Chu's waist.
He spread out the fan and saw the fan painting by Song Yunchu himself.
There are two people in the painting, wearing ink-colored and bright yellow clothes respectively. They are sitting on the eaves, each holding a palm-sized jar of wine in their hands, and looking at each other.
A bright moon was in the sky on the upper right, indicating the quiet night. This was the night of Song Yunchu's birthday, when they were sitting on the eaves drinking.
There is another line of inscription in the lower right corner:
The wind blows and the moon is crescent, two figures on the eaves drink happily.
This poem can be used to describe a close friend or a couple.
It turned out that he and Yun Chu were such a perfect match when they were in the painting together.
It seems as if there is no one else in the world who is more suitable for each other than them.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing Jun Li Luo staring at the fan in silence, Song Yunchu called him.
Jun Liluo came back to his senses and looked up at her.
Song Yunchu was struck by the gentleness in his eyes and murmured in his heart.
[Is he moved again? ]
[It's just a painting, what's the big deal? ]
"My painting skills cannot compare to your majesty's." Song Yunchu laughed dryly, "Your majesty, please don't laugh at me."
"Don't say these boring polite words." Jun Liluo looked at her steadily, "This is the best gift I have ever received."
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu subconsciously asked, "Is there no gift from others that Your Majesty likes?"
“It hasn’t been demolished yet.”
“…”
"No matter how precious the gifts from others are, they cannot compare to your thoughts. Your calligraphy and painting are priceless to me."
“…”
[This is a very corny statement, but the dog emperor seems to be very serious.]
"The wind blows and the moon is crescent, two shadows on the eaves drink happily."
Jun Liluo recited the poem on the fan with a smile on his face, "Yun Chu, the birthday gift you gave me was actually the memory of your birthday. Did you see that when I confessed to you that night, I was testing whether you had feelings for me?"
Song Yunchu was a little surprised, "Your Majesty, didn't you drink too much that day?"
"I was drunk, but I was still sane. I was sober when I asked you if you were willing to be my family."
Jun Liluo said, stepping forward to hug Song Yunchu, "Yunchu, perhaps everyone in the world thinks that the monarchy is supreme and the monarch will not give too much sincerity to anyone, but what I want to say is that my love for power and my love for you are not contradictory. I can use power to suppress anyone, but I will never use it to suppress you."
"You don't have to believe it now, I'm just telling you this, you will believe it one day."
Song Yunchu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and patted him on the back, "Then I am looking forward to the future development between me and Your Majesty."
Jun Li Luo felt satisfied when he heard this.
She didn't say "I believe" but "I look forward to it", which is what she really thinks.
If she had just said she believed it, it wouldn't have been true.
She is a minister, so it is normal for her to be wary of the monarch. Now that she is willing to open her heart and try to trust him slowly, it is already a very good development.
Jun Liluo let her go, looked at the fan again, and said with a smile: "You painted it very well. Drinking together under the moon, the artistic conception is very good."
"Your Majesty, please stop praising me. Painting is not something I am good at."
Song Yunchu is very self-aware and her painting skills cannot be compared with Jun Liluo's.
But it doesn't matter. Her outstanding martial arts skills are the most important. She can practice calligraphy and painting when she feels like it, and occasionally show off her artistic talents.
"Even though he is not good at painting, he can still create such a good artistic conception. It shows that he is talented."
Jun Liluo said, "A painting doesn't have to be vivid, as long as it can convey the feelings, it is a good work."
Song Yunchu couldn't respond.
[Okay, you can praise me if you want, I won't suffer any loss anyway.]
[It really is true that the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Fortunately, my painting skills are not bad, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to save my reputation. ]
[But to be honest, the Dog Emperor really does provide emotional value to people. ]
Jun Liluo slowly closed the fan.
Yun Chu once said that a partner who cannot provide emotional value is unqualified.
What's the point of two people being together if they can't make each other happy? Besides, he wasn't complimenting her for no reason, he really liked the painting.
"Your Majesty, what do you see outside that window?"
Hearing Song Yunchu suddenly ask this question, Jun Liluo subconsciously turned his head, only to see that the window behind him was closed and there was nothing inside.
He also remembered that he closed the window, otherwise he would not have felt comfortable holding her hand.
"What's outside the window..."
The moment he turned his head, Song Yunchu's hands were already around his neck, drowning out his unfinished words between his lips and teeth.
Jun Liluo: "..."
Yun Chu has actually learned to tease people?
This caught him off guard, but also made him extremely happy.
Every time he got close to her, he was the one who took the initiative most of the time. He felt that it was not easy for her to go from being uncomfortable at first to accepting it later.
She had taken the initiative once or twice before, but he was the one who provoked her first, which aroused her desire to win, so she chose to take the initiative.
Today's kiss was very different from before, and he could sense her gentleness.
Her breath gently sprayed on his face, and the light fragrance from her body lingered between his nostrils, causing ripples in his heart.
He also put his arms around Song Yunchu's waist and rubbed his lips against hers.
After a long time, Song Yunchu was the first to evacuate.
Because she felt a little breathless.
It was indeed she who took the initiative at the beginning, but later on, Jun Li Luo became more and more excited.
[Tsk, the dog emperor seems to be much more skilled than me. ]
[It seems I have to practice more when I have the chance. I can’t lose, or he will laugh at me.]
Jun Li Luo was already in a good mood, and after hearing this, he became even happier.
He liked Song Yunchu's unyielding character.
Sometimes having a strong desire to win is a good thing.
"Yun Chu, today is the happiest birthday of my life, thanks to you." He stroked her face and whispered, then gave her a light kiss on the forehead.
Song Yunchu smiled when he heard him say that, "I hope Your Majesty can be this happy every year."
"With you here, I will."
After Song Yunchu left the palace, Jun Liluo saw that it was not late yet, so he read some memorials and then wrote a letter to express his condolences to Marshal Shen who was far away at the border.
Outside the window, night has fallen.
Jun Liluo put down his pen, then remembered the fan that Song Yunchu had painted for him, so he took it out and admired it carefully.
What was Yun Chu feeling when he was painting? He must have felt that they were the best match in the world.
Half a meter away, Manager Li saw that it was getting dark and wanted to ask Jun Li Luo if he wanted to order meal. But when he turned around, he saw Jun Li Luo sitting behind a pile of memorials with his eyes downcast and the corners of his lips slightly raised, as if he was in a good mood.
Judging from your majesty's expression, there must be some good news coming from the court and the public.
