Chapter 72
He Qin ignored Lu Xiaobai's resistance, took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub.
The old rogue's appearance frightened Lu Xiaobai so much that he stood up and wanted to run away, but as soon as he came out of the water, He Qin hugged him and grabbed his arm: "Don't you like bathing with me?"
Perhaps the people in the palace took the emperor's preferences into consideration, so the bathtub was very large, so there would be no problem even for two people to stay in it.
But the presence of one more person made the water level even deeper, reaching Lu Xiaobai's neck. He pouted and turned his head away: "Bathing is nothing, I, I'm just afraid that you don't just want to take a bath."
He Qin was not Nan He's destined emperor. He replaced his elder brother after his elder brother's imperial star faded. However, as a member of the royal family, he had been exposed to sexual intercourse at the age of fourteen.
Even if he doesn't touch others, there will be eunuchs to teach him, so He Qin is very good at it.
He Qin raised the corner of his mouth, hugged the person in his arms and said: "It was you who asked me to love you more."
Lu Xiaobai:!!!
He suddenly remembered that after hearing what Ling Er's father said at the palace gate, he told He Qin that if she didn't love him, he would marry someone else.
But, but the pain he said was the same as the pain He Qin said?
It's completely different, okay!
Finally, the reason for getting out of the tub was not because I was done with the bath, but because the water was cold...
Just like before, He Qin got up before daybreak the next morning. However, this time, he was worried that Lu Xiaobai would be scared when he woke up and couldn't see him, so he pinched Lu Xiaobai's face and woke him up, saying, "I'm going to court.
Although he was shocked when He Qin was not there when he woke up yesterday, he later knew what He Qin was going to do and didn't understand why He Qin woke him up and told him again.
He snorted in dissatisfaction, turned over, and pulled the quilt over his head.
He Qin shook his head helplessly and left with a smile.
Lu Xiaobai continued to sleep with the quilt covering him, but suddenly remembered that he had taken out the seeds last night, and He Qin should have gone to deal with it today.
As long as we distribute the seeds and persevere in the first half of this year, everything should be fine by autumn and winter.
Lu Xiaobai fell asleep while thinking. Whenever Lu Xiaobai had something on his mind, he would dream. This time, the dream was about the scene where He Qin took him to the national treasury to get seeds yesterday.
But for some reason, the treasury was empty, but as soon as he took out the seeds, many strangers appeared around him. He was so scared that his heart skipped a beat. He turned around and cried, "He Qin, it's over. We've been seen. What should I do..."
But when Lu Xiaobai turned around, He Qin was gone. He was so scared that he started to tremble. He called out several times but couldn't find He Qin. He quickly turned around and said to those people: "I, I am, I am here to help you, I am not a monster..."
But the next second, those strangers rushed over, tied him up, and without saying a word, took him away to burn him to death.
Lu Xiaobai opened his eyes crying. It was already dawn and He Qin was not there. He thought for a long time before he remembered that He Qin had gone to deal with the seeds.
He remembered the dream he had just had and his face turned pale instantly. He jumped out of bed and ran towards the hall without wearing any clothes or shoes, and he didn't even comb his messy hair.
Because He Qin had to get up early to attend court, his bedroom was very close to the main palace.
He didn't know if it was what Lu Xiaobai thought, but he heard a faint noise across the palace wall. He was scared, afraid that those people were here to catch him.
He was wearing a thin inner garment and standing barefoot under the high palace wall, looking at the long blue brick road, somewhat afraid to move forward.
The young eunuch behind came panting, carrying clothes and shoes: "Master, put on your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold!"
Lu Xiaobai suddenly jumped off the bed and ran away, scaring the young eunuch so much that he didn't react. He then hurriedly asked the secret guards to find the emperor, and he chased after him with his clothes and shoes.
Lu Xiaobai stood there with a pale face, his hands and feet red from the cold. Listening to the faint sound, he had an urge to turn back and leave.
The young eunuch saw him standing there and quickly put his clothes on him. Then he squatted down and put his shoes in front of him and said, "Master, please put on your shoes first."
“Yo!”
Before Lu Xiaobai could recover from the dream, Feng An came out from behind them. Seeing the young eunuch squatting on the ground trying to put on Lu Xiaobai's shoes, he subconsciously mocked him, "I didn't expect a country boy could rise to prominence and become a phoenix. He entered the palace without even a title, yet he's already started snatching my share. Now he's even trying to make things difficult for me, a servant. He's really just relying on the power of others."
Lu Xiaobai slowly turned his head and looked at Feng An's face full of disgust and sarcasm, then looked at the little eunuch on the ground who looked embarrassed and dared not speak.
He reached out to wipe away his tears, raised his foot and kicked the shoe in front of Feng An and said, "Then you put it on for me."
Feng An: "You! How dare you! Do you know who I am? I am..."
Lu Xiaobai was in a bad mood and spoke like a little firecracker. He caught Feng An and said, "Didn't you say that I made things difficult for him? You are so kind and treat people so well, so can you bear this embarrassment for him?"
Feng An's expression turned even uglier when he heard this: "Why should I take it for him?"
"Then what the hell are you talking about!"
Lu Xiaobai sniffed, turned around and wanted to leave.
Feng An's appearance brought him back to his senses. Although he was still a little scared, he was not as panicked as in his dream.
Moreover, he seemed to see something?
Lu Xiaobai saw a familiar figure rushing out at the end of the long road. He panicked and looked down at his feet that were numb and painful from the cold. He quickly ran to Feng An, pushed him away, and squatted down to put on his shoes.
But his speed was not as fast as He Qin's. He had just put on one shoe when He Qin squatted in front of him.
He Qin squatted on the ground, gathered the clothes that Lu Xiaobai was wearing, picked him up and put him on his knees, then wrapped his warm big hands around Lu Xiaobai's feet.
"Why are you running outside without clothes or shoes?"
Didn’t he already say he was going to court? Why did this silly guy come to find him? He was even more anxious than yesterday.
If I had known this earlier, I would have asked him to get up and go together.
But when he thought about waking Lu Xiaobai up before dawn, He Qin couldn't bear to do it.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaobai exploded with grievance, grabbing He Qin's clothes and started crying: "He Qin, wuwu, I had a nightmare again..."
He Qin opened his mouth and was about to ask what the dream was about, but suddenly heard another cry.
He Qin covered Lu Xiaobai's feet and turned around while putting his shoes on. He found Feng An sitting on the ground crying. When she saw him looking over, she pointed at Lu Xiaobai and shouted, "Brother Qin, Lu Xiaobai..."
"presumptuous!"
Before Feng An could finish her complaint, He Qin angrily shouted, "How can we tolerate your disrespect within the palace walls?"
Feng An was so frightened by He Qin's serious expression that he was speechless for a long time. It was not until He Qin put Lu Xiaobai's clothes on that Feng An came back to his senses and said, "I am rude, but he, he calls you by your full name, doesn't greet you, doesn't kneel, has no manners or etiquette at all, why is he..."
He Qin took a white fluffy hat from the young eunuch and gently put it on Lu Xiaobai. Then he pinched his cheek and said, "Xiaobai is the one I hold dear to my heart, but you are not."
Feng An was speechless for a moment. He lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and asked, "If that's the case, then why didn't you send me out of the palace?"
"I'm busy in the front court, so I'll send you out today."
He Qin explained to Feng An, but actually he was explaining to Lu Xiaobai.
He had been back for less than three days and had been dealing with state affairs. He had no time to take care of the affairs of the harem.
What's more, he had no harem, and he had explained the matter of Lu Xiaobai to the Queen Mother as soon as he came back, so he had no time to deal with Feng An.
Lu Xiaobai rarely saw He Qin so serious, so he felt a little scared. He lowered his head as if he had made a mistake, and lay in He Qin's arms, secretly wiping away his tears.
But He Qin was only mean to Feng An, not to him, because while He Qin was mean to Feng An, the big hand that was hugging him was patting his back again and again, and comforting him, saying that he was the apple of his eye. He was so straightforward.
Lu Xiaobai started laughing while crying, and looked at Feng An with a smug look.
Feng An was crying and was helped up by the eunuch behind him. He couldn't speak, but still wanted to reach out to pull He Qin.
But He Qin turned around, carried Lu Xiaobai horizontally and brought him back to the bedroom, then stripped him of his clothes and threw him into the warm hot spring to soak, saying it was to drive away the cold.
Lu Xiaobai soaked his body in the water, his head resting on the steps. He looked at He Qin, who had brought a table to the hot spring to accompany him, and asked, "He Qin, why didn't you ask me what I dreamed about?"
He Qin was writing an imperial edict. When he heard Lu Xiaobai's words, he smiled and said, "I guessed it. You dreamed that others treated you as a monster, didn't you?"
He knew that Lu Xiaobai always had some strange dreams, but none of them had such a big reaction as today.
Lu Xiaobai's biggest fear was being mistaken for a monster, and it just so happened that he had taken out the seeds last night, so...
Lu Xiaobai nodded in surprise: "You are amazing, you can guess this."
"Um."
He Qin nodded proudly. He knew that if Lu Xiaobai came forward to admit this matter, he would become famous and become a god in Nanhe.
But human hearts are two-sided, and good and evil are only a thought away.
Since some people regard him as a god, naturally there are also people who regard him as a demon.
Even though there are few people like Nan He, it cannot be ruled out that people from other countries covet Lu Xiaobai's abilities, try to cause trouble, sow discord, stir up public anger and harm him.
Therefore, He Qin couldn't afford to take this risk.
For Lu Xiaobai's safety, he would rather Lu Xiaobai be an ordinary person and not try to be a hero.
Fortunately, that silly guy Lu Xiaobai is a person without any desires, which can just ensure his safety.
"Well, how did you resolve this matter? I heard a lot of people talking loudly today, but I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly..."
Lu Xiaobai lowered his head. He would not be able to rest easy until this matter was resolved. He suddenly didn't want to stay in the palace anymore. It was a bit scary.
He wanted to go back to Lujia Village.
He Qin finished writing the imperial edict, put down his pen, and said, "Don't worry, this matter has been resolved. The noise today was just caused by their excessive joy. I have already ordered them to be distributed according to the production figures you gave and the regional population. To prevent corrupt officials, I have had secret guards escort them."
After He Qin finished speaking, he looked out the window and said, "The journey is too far. We can prepare for planting after we deliver them to their destination."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai smiled sweetly, and looked at He Qin with a bit of admiration: "You are quite suitable to be the emperor, you are so thoughtful."
Many emperors on TV order officials to release grain or earthquake relief funds, but they will be exploited at every level, and only a little will reach the hands of the people, which is of little use. The disaster is still a disaster!
But He Qin actually thought of asking the secret guards to deliver it. The secret guards were all his confidants and would never betray He Qin and exploit the people.
Feeling the admiration in Lu Xiaobai's eyes, He Qin couldn't help but curl his lips: "I also did something with this seed. Can you guess what it is?"
