Chapter 71
The man looked at his white clothes, then looked at Lu Xiaobai, and said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, what you said is not right. If wearing white clothes at night means you are a ghost, then aren't you also a ghost like me?"
Lu Xiaobai wiped away the tears of fright, looked down at her snow-white clothes, turned back somewhat embarrassedly, and found that the man was saluting He Qin.
No wonder He Qin didn’t comfort him just now. It turns out it wasn’t a ghost.
And, and…
Lu Xiaobai touched his clothes and said, "I don't want to wear white clothes anymore. I want to wear black clothes like you. It looks good."
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's words, the man paused, because in Nanhe, the black robe embroidered with gold thread was a garment exclusive to the emperor.
Ordinary people can wear black, but not black with gold embroidery.
But He Qin didn't blame Lu Xiaobai for not telling her about his bold request. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, wear mine tomorrow, and then I'll ask the embroiderer to take your measurements and make it for you."
Lu Xiaobai's eyes widened in surprise: "You still have to rush it? Forget it, just take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
He almost forgot that many of the clothes here have to be made on the spot and cannot be sold finished.
He Qin nodded, comforted Lu Xiaobai, and then asked the man: "It's so late, what do you want from me?"
"Reporting to the Emperor."
The man smiled and said, "I have good news to report to the emperor."
He Qin: "What good news?"
When Lu Xiaobai heard this, he widened his eyes curiously, looking forward to the good news from the man's mouth.
The man smiled and said, "Last night, I observed the stars and discovered an unnamed star appeared next to the Emperor's star. Not only was it exceptionally bright, it also illuminated the entire Nanhe."
The man was Qi Yu, the head of Nan He's Imperial Astronomical Observatory. After He Qin returned to the palace yesterday, the star lit up at night. He observed it all night and couldn't believe it. It was not until he confirmed it again today that he dared to come to He Qin and tell him the good news.
Hearing Qi Yu's words, Lu Xiaobai's heart tightened instantly, he trembled involuntarily, and then lowered his head.
It has long been known that ancient people could predict some future events based on the stars, but he always thought it was fake. After all, stars can't talk, so what can they see?
Scientists in the modern world cannot predict the future by looking at the stars!
But he didn't expect that people in ancient times could actually do it.
There is someone next to He Qin's Emperor Star, isn't that him?
Because he was the only one who appeared out of thin air.
Lu Xiaobai raised his head cautiously, glanced at Qi Yu with some fear, and asked in a low voice: "Then do you know who it is?"
"Why is that so difficult?"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "I know everyone around the emperor very well, with the exception of Master Lu. That nameless star is most likely Master Lu."
Qi Yu's words frightened Lu Xiaobai. He was worried that Qi Yu would tell others about this, so he suppressed his fear and waved his hands fiercely: "You are talking nonsense, I am not, you must be a liar, go away, we are going home."
After saying that, she turned around, hugged He Qin's waist and cried and acted coquettishly: "He Qin, He Qin, let's go back. I don't want to talk to him."
He Qin was stunned for a few seconds, then helplessly reached out to hug him, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, saying: "Don't be afraid, I know your background is not ordinary, but if you don't tell me, I won't ask. Qi Yu is also a trustworthy person and will not leak this matter. Besides, you still need to rely on him to keep your secret."
He Qin's words startled Lu Xiaobai, and his head instantly started buzzing. He then looked up and stammered, "You, you know, I'm not the real Lu Xiaobai anymore?"
The real Lu Xiaobai might have died before He Qin and He Qin got married.
He Qin nodded: "Yes."
It didn't take too much time from the initial suspicion to the final confirmation.
Lu Xiaobai looked at He Qin's firm answer and shook his head in panic: "No, no... I, my real name is also Lu Xiaobai, I'm just not the Lu Xiaobai from Lujia Village."
He Qin nodded; "I understand. Don't be afraid. I'm here. No matter who you are or what your identity is, no one can hurt you."
He Qin patted his head, then said to Qi Yu, "Let's find a restaurant and sit down to talk in detail."
"yes."
He Qin knows!
Lu Xiaobai felt terrible, his head buzzing as he followed them to the restaurant like a zombie. Fortunately, He Qin did not treat him as a monster to be killed.
But just like before, she said she would protect him and would not let anyone hurt him.
This made Lu Xiaobai breathe a sigh of relief. He watched the two of them seriously discussing how to deal with this matter and how to avoid exposing him.
Lu Xiaobai finally felt relieved and listened to their plan while eating snacks.
Finally, Qi Yu suggested that he could tell everyone that he had a dream in which God blessed Nan He and bestowed upon him ten thousand kilograms of high-yield seeds. The next day, he made a scene in the palace, demanding that the treasury be opened to see, and took all the court officials with him to witness it.
If we deify this matter, the problem can be solved.
He Qin nodded and said, "This is the only way."
Lu Xiaobai also thought it was okay. He peeled a peanut, put one in He Qin's mouth, and ate the remaining one himself. He then asked, "Then I am your god. Do you have to pay tribute to me and give me lots of delicious food?"
He Qin looked at the table full of snacks and said, "There's not enough food to eat. We can't ask everyone to pay tribute. If you want to eat something, I'll buy it for you."
"Oh well."
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips, thinking that this was fine, nodded and said, "I want to eat crispy candy."
The crispy candies in the palace were much more delicious than the ordinary candies He Qin bought for him in Lujia Village, and he wanted to eat them every day.
He Qin shook his head: "It's dark, I can't eat candy."
Then, amid Lu Xiaobai's protests, He Qin took him and Qi Yu, and the three of them sneaked into the national treasury.
Although it is called the national treasury, the place is actually not that big, at least not as big as Lu Xiaobai imagined.
But it can hold 10,000 kilograms of seeds.
In front of He Qin and Qi Yu, Lu Xiaobai was still a little scared, but in order to avoid death, he could only grit his teeth, check the planting coins in his mind, and asked again: "Only rice seeds?"
He Qin was about to nod, but suddenly thought of something and asked him, "What else can you get?"
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips and said uncomfortably: "Well, it's the same as in Lujia Village. Vegetables, corn, wheat, and some beans are all available."
Qi Yu looked at Lu Xiaobai in surprise. Although He Qin didn't say anything, in his eyes, Lu Xiaobai was a god since he could produce more than 10,000 kilograms of seeds out of thin air!
Hearing Lu Xiaobai say that he could come up with something else, he almost cried with excitement, but he still shook his head and said, "We only need rice. We've missed the planting season for other crops besides rice and corn, but we can have corn. After all, the season from rice planting to harvest is relatively long, and corn can produce grain earlier, so that everyone won't go hungry."
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "Okay."
Then, under Xiao Baicai's command, Lu Xiaobai used 500,000 planting coins to buy 13,000 kilograms of rice seeds and more than 3,000 kilograms of corn seeds.
The empty room was suddenly filled with sacks. He Qin and Qi Yu couldn't wait to open them and see that they were indeed seeds.
He Qin's eyes were red with excitement, as if tears were about to flow out in the next second, and Qi Yu knelt down in front of Lu Xiaobai and kowtowed to him three times.
"Qi Yu, on behalf of the people of Nanhe, thanks Master Lu for saving his life!"
Qi Yu suddenly knelt down, frightening Lu Xiaobai so much that he took a few steps back and hid in He Qin's arms: "It's okay, you don't have to thank me, just don't tell anyone. Hurry, get up."
He was not an ancient person and did not enjoy others kneeling to him, so he quickly shook his head.
He Qin hugged the person in his arms tightly and said excitedly: "I said, you are sent by God to save Nan He."
Lu Xiaobai curled his lips after hearing this, not knowing how to respond. At the same time that He Qin opened his mouth, Xiaobaicai told him that Lu Xiaobai had already upgraded halfway in this planting game.
If you plant these seeds in spring, you will have a good harvest by the end of the year. Then you can change the seeds and plant them in the ground next year. Once they sprout, they will be full of harvest.
Once you reach the maximum level, you can exchange it for the wish in the main system.
After hearing this, Lu Xiaobai was as confused as before, not knowing whether he should leave.
He Qin took him to the room where the jades were stored. He Qin touched his cheek and said, "What you gave me is more precious than the greatest treasures in the world, but I don't have anything to give you. You said you liked jade before, so take a look here. Is there anything you like?"
Jade?
Lu Xiaobai came back to his senses and found himself in an empty room. The walls were lined with collection shelves that looked like bookshelves. Each shelf was filled with beautiful jade and jadeite.
Lu Xiaobai immediately laughed and said, "Never mind, let's deal with next year's issues next year. The seed issue has been resolved now anyway, so he can just pick the jade with peace of mind."
"They look great. I like them all."
Lu Xiaobai's fair and tender face was full of smiles. She walked around the room for a long time and finally picked out a pair of crescent-shaped jade pendants.
He held the jade in front of He Qin: "One for each of us."
If they hang together, it's a couple's style!
Lu Xiaobai didn't know how to wear a jade pendant, so he gave the jade to He Qin, who bent down and helped them both wear it.
Lu Xiaobai stood on tiptoe, trying to make his slender waist level with He Qin's waist, so that the crescent jade pendant was on the same level.
But He Qin was much taller than him, and he couldn't reach her even if he stood on tiptoe. In the end, He Qin put his arm around his shoulders with one hand and picked him up, finally fulfilling his wish.
But Lu Xiaobai didn't care at all. He looked at the jade and smiled: "It's the same. We can put it together as a whole piece. From now on, people will know that we are husband and wife at a glance."
He Qin laughed out loud after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yeah."
Qi Yu, who was following behind them, watched them suddenly change from being a little sad to being sweet and loving, even hugging each other...
Qi Yu always felt a little uncomfortable.
Qi Yu looked at Lu Xiaobai lying on He Qin's chest, still talking sweetly. He touched his stuffy chest and felt like going home quickly.
Fortunately, the two did not stay here for long, and He Qin secretly took Lu Xiaobai away.
Back in the palace, Lu Xiaobai took a bath in a large bathtub. While washing, he sighed that the palace was still the best and bathing was much more advanced than in Lujia Village.
In Lujia Village, people take a bath in a wooden tub, and have to wash their body and hair separately. In the palace, there are large bathtubs and hot springs, so you can wash wherever you want, it's comfortable.
Lu Xiaobai was smiling happily when suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. He shuddered in fear. Then he saw that the figure taking off his clothes was He Qin. He threw the handkerchief in his hand at him and asked angrily, "What are you doing? You are walking silently in the middle of the night. Do you want to scare me to death?"
He Qin didn't answer, just smiled and continued to take off his clothes.
Lu Xiaobai instantly became alert, hugging his chest and shouting fiercely: "Why are you taking off your clothes? I'm taking a shower. Go away, don't come in, don't come in, get out, get out..."
