Daxia Imperial Palace, Guangming Hall.
Under Nangong Piaoxue's meticulous care, Jia Nanxing's complexion improved a lot.
He even planted a lot of flowers in the yard.
The seeds of these flowers were given to him by Xu Xinyan. There were various unknown wild flowers on Li Luoyuan, as well as seeds of a kind of flower that Liu Jin brought back last year.
In April, the flowers in the flower garden are in full bloom. Jia Nanxing likes to water the flowers with a kettle in the early morning, and also likes to stand in the yard and admire the flowers in the evening when the sky is filled with colorful clouds.
He likes flowers and often misses the plum blossoms on Luomei Mountain.
Fu Xiaoguan hadn't come for some time. He missed Fu Xiaoguan, but he knew that Fu Xiaoguan was an emperor who could do great things, so he shouldn't bother him anymore.
At this moment, the sunset was brilliant and the swallows were returning to their nests. Jia Nanxing sat in the pavilion in the garden, brewing a pot of tea. He looked at the sunset in the sky, then looked at the yellow, red and black flowers, then turned his head to look at an old man sitting opposite him - You Beidou!
"Don't look at me with such pity. I'm living a good life now, better than ever before!"
"Now I have let go of everything and just want to live a few more years, because His Majesty said that he would take me to travel around Daxia."
Jia Nanxing smiled, and the wrinkles on his face shone in the setting sun.
"You don't believe it? You're always doubting this and that. What's the fun in living?"
Jia Nanxing poured You Beidou a cup of tea and said with a smile, "I won't go to Luomei Mountain because I feel like this is more like my home. The Empress and the Imperial Concubines come to see me every day, and even the Empress Dowager comes over occasionally. I've learned to play mahjong, but my brain is a little slow and I can't keep up with the thinking of these young people, but I always win..."
"Lan Fei said that I was lucky, but actually... I know in my heart that they just want to make me happy."
"I am indeed happy. I feel like they are my granddaughters-in-law."
You Beidou was shocked, "Don't ever say such things!"
"See, you don't understand the Emperor after all. He told me he didn't have a grandfather and has always treated me like one. He wants to take care of me until the end of my life!"
You Beidou was horrified. He leaned forward and said in a low and serious voice, "You're crazy! He's the emperor. How could he possibly recognize you as his grandfather? How could he possibly take care of you until the end of your life?! I know he's a good person. He's already doing you a great favor by letting you live here. Since you don't want to return to Luomei Mountain, then stay here. But remember, stay calm and don't have any wishful thinking!"
Jia Nanxing withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at You Beidou. He didn't understand after all. Since that was the case, there was no need to explain anything further.
Just at this moment, Fu Xiaoguan walked in with Liu Jin.
He came to the pavilion, looked at You Beidou's surprised eyes and smiled, "Nothing, I'll come and talk to him."
You Beidou stood up, and Fu Xiaoguan waved his hand. "You are brothers, and you are like grandfathers to me. You know I don't like those formalities. Sit down. Liu Jin..."
"The servant is here!"
"Tell the imperial kitchen to send food here tonight, enough for three people. Oh, and tell them to cook the vegetables a little softer. Also, tell them to bring a jar of my old wine from the cellar. Tell the Queen Mother and the others not to wait for me. Go ahead."
Liu Jin bowed and retreated. Jia Nanxing laughed cheerfully and looked at You Beidou again, as if to say: "So? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
You Beidou sat down slowly, but his heart was filled with turmoil - although emperors of all dynasties trusted eunuchs, it was unique for them to trust eunuchs to the extent of the current Majesty!
This has transcended the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, and has been elevated to the relationship between grandfather and grandson!
He actually wanted to accompany Jia Nanxing for dinner... It seemed that Jia Nanxing was probably right, but Jia Nanxing had lost all his martial arts skills and was just an old man in his twilight years. Such a person was meaningless to His Majesty, so what was his reason for doing this?
You Beidou ultimately didn't understand the deep bond between Fu Xiaoguan and Jia Nanxing. He sat quietly, drank tea quietly, and listened to Fu Xiaoguan and Jia Nanxing's conversation quietly.
"Here's what I was thinking. Isn't spring here? We talked about this at the end of last year, saying we'd go explore various parts of Daxia this spring. Now's the time. I plan to leave in two days. Don't bring anything with you. I'll make all the arrangements, but the itinerary will have to be rescheduled..."
Jia Nanxing's eyes lit up, but You Beidou frowned slightly.
The event of Daxia's attack on Liao shocked the world. Although he did not know the specific military details, according to the time, if what Fu Xiaoguan said at the court worship meeting was true, shouldn't he be sitting in Guanyun City and mobilizing troops at this time?
How could he have the leisure to take Jia Nanxing out for a trip?
Was he just talking casually that day?
Just as he was about to ask himself, Fu Xiaoguan said, "Let's take a boat from Jiangcheng Port to Jinling, and stop by Xishan. Then we can stay in Jinling for a few days, see the flowers on Tengxi Mountain outside Jinling City, and fly some kites."
"Then let's go to Ci Le Chuan to see the vast grasslands. Next... we'll go to Xixia. Xixia has also become an autonomous region of Daxia. I don't know much about that place, so I have to go and see it. If you feel tired and want to rest in Jinling, you can stay in the current Shengguo Mansion. I'll send someone to take care of you until I return. How about that?"
Jia Nanxing had no idea what was happening outside, and he was quite surprised... "Your Majesty has also incorporated Xixia into Daxia?"
"Yeah, that's a nice place."
Jia Nanxing said quickly, "This old servant must go with Your Majesty to take a look."
"Okay, let's go and take a look together."
You Beidou was stunned, he seemed to understand something - Fu Xiaoguan's trip to Xixia was probably not just for a simple visit!
Western Xia was once the Liao Dynasty... He must attack the Liao Dynasty!
I don’t know much about You Beidou in the Liao Dynasty, but that place is very likely a battlefield!
There will be unpredictable dangers on the battlefield. If Your Majesty goes there, won’t he be putting himself in danger?
"Your Majesty, I will follow you!"
"This time, I'm setting off in a grand manner. Ning Siyan will lead 10,000 guards, and Bei Wangchuan will accompany me... You should rest and recover. I know you were also injured last time when you protected Tuoba Feng."
"I hope that when I come back, you and Ning Fatian will both recover!"
"Daxia's territory is growing ever larger, and you are its patron saints! So you must take good care of yourselves and safeguard Daxia's development!"
After hearing these words, You Beidou couldn't help but re-examine Fu Xiaoguan.
Fu Xiaoguan, however, was looking towards the garden. He suddenly became interested in some of the flowers there. He walked into the flowerbed, picked one, and asked, "Do you know what flower this is?"
Jia Nanxing smiled and said, "The Empress Consort Yan gave me the seeds. If the Empress doesn't know about it, then naturally, this old servant doesn't know either."
Fu Xiaoguan laughed, "It's called Tulip!"
tulip?
A very nice name.
But Fu Xiaoguan knew that this thing had once caused the economic collapse of the Netherlands, the extremely powerful European economic center!
