Chapter 446: Death for Peace
The door of the bedroom was slowly pushed open.
Zhao Hua raised his eyebrows and looked over, and saw Xiao Jingheng walking in with a smile, looking like he was in a good mood.
She stood up to greet him, pretending to be angry and said:
"I don't know how the servants outside do their job. They didn't even inform us when the emperor came?"
As he said this, he knelt down and was about to bow, but as expected, he was helped up by Xiao Jingheng.
"It was I who forbad them to report it, so as to avoid troubling Zhao'er to go to the palace gate to greet them again."
As he spoke, his eyes naturally fell on the conspicuous purse placed on the small table on the warm seat.
When he reached out to take it, he saw Zhao Hua snatch the purse first and hid it behind his back.
"Xiao Lang, you are not allowed to look at this. This is what I want to give to you on your birthday this month."
"But I have seen it."
Xiao Jingheng smiled maliciously, and then began to tickle Zhao Hua's side.
Zhao Hua was teased by him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had to stretch out her hand to block him, which gave Xiao Jingheng an opportunity to snatch the purse away.
He took the purse in his hand and played with it carefully, examining every stitch and thread, praising it from time to time:
"It's very exquisite. I like it very much."
Zhao Hua said coquettishly, "Xiao Lang is used to seeing fine things. No matter how exquisite my work is, how can it compare to the Imperial Household Department?"
Xiao Jingheng laughed out loud and said, "Just this thought alone is already much better than others."
Seeing that Xiao Jingheng was already very happy when he came today, Zhao Hua changed the subject and asked him,
"Since Xiao Lang came to my place today, the smile on his face has never faded. But did you encounter any good things?"
"Zhao'er and I are of the same mind. I have indeed encountered good things. To be more precise, it is the people and subjects of the Qi Dynasty who have encountered excellent things."
Xiao Jingheng said as he held Zhaohua's hand and sat down.
"Ada Khan of the Hu tribe asked to lead the Hu army into Shanhaiguan. After crossing the border, the Hu army became an inseparable part of the Qi army. Ada is a smart man. Now the Hu tribe is short of supplies, and the people are hungry and clothed. If he continues to be the Khan, he will be unable to save the people from the dire situation.
Therefore, he decided to let the Hu tribe completely submit to the Qi Dynasty and become a subordinate country of the Qi Dynasty. In this way, the people of the Hu tribe will naturally become the people of the Qi Dynasty. The Qi Dynasty will never fail to help the people in trouble, so I will also try my best to solve the current predicament of the Hu tribe. "
He had originally thrown this dilemma to Hu Bu.
Now, with these words, it seems that he has become a great benefactor of the Hu tribe.
Although Zhao Hua felt disgusted, he still followed Xiao Jingheng's smile and said:
"The people of Hu tribe have been blessed by Xiao Lang, and will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. They should be grateful to Xiao Lang and Qi Chao."
Xiao Jingheng also said with satisfaction: "The previous emperor spent so many years trying to make the Hu tribe completely submit to Daqi. But now under my rule, the Hu tribe not only submits to Daqi, but also willingly becomes a vassal state of Daqi. I, as the emperor, have finally lived up to the expectations of the previous emperor."
Zhao Hua continued to smile and complimented:
"I have always known that it is a blessing for the people of this world to have such a wise ruler as Xiao Lang."
But she was clear-headed.
The previous emperor was unable to defeat the Hu tribe for several years because he ruled the country with benevolence and put the people first, and would never allow innocent people to suffer in order to achieve his goals.
But Xiao Jingheng is different.
The various methods he used to deal with the Hu tribe were openly a strategic plan, but implicitly, the only word left was "shameless".
And shameless people are often the ones who can achieve their goals most easily.
While chatting with Zhao Hua, Xiao Jingheng kept playing with the purse in his hand.
As he fanned the flame, the faint fragrance from the purse was swept into Xiao Jingheng's nostrils.
He sniffed the scent and said with emotion:
"Zhao'er was so attached to this purse that he couldn't bear to let it go every day, so that the purse was stained with Zhao'er's fragrance."
As he spoke, he suddenly lifted up Zhaohua's black hair with his fingertips, ruffled the fragrance of her hair, and sniffed it deeply with pleasure.
"It is this smell that always makes me feel comfortable and at peace when I smell it."
Zhao Hua blushed and said, "Xiao Lang is used to teasing me."
As she responded, Xiao Jingheng took her into his arms and snuggled up to her quietly.
The faint fragrance of the purse lingered around Zhaohua.
She held her breath slightly, smiled sweetly, and in her heart she repeatedly pondered what Xiao Jingheng had just said.
The smell from this purse makes him feel safe?
Oh,
Some people always cause unrest in their lives.
Only the dead can be completely "at peace".
But since Xiao Jingheng wants peace,
Then, as long as he wore this purse every day to show the emperor and empress's affection,
I believe that his "beautiful" vision will come true soon.
