Chapter 104 Your Majesty, would you like to try it?
The pure black horse saw that the mud that originally belonged to it was being sat on by Ji Qingwu, and it flared its nostrils and snorted at her in dissatisfaction.
Ji Qingwu came to his senses and seeing that it was dissatisfied with him, he raised his eyebrows at it provocatively.
Su Bai's hands were still patting the animal hide beneath him.
If Ji Qingwu also had a tail, it would have already reached the sky.
Seeing that this man and horse were communicating without any obstacles, Emperor Wu Su on the side couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
The black horse stared at her for a long time with its big, moist and bright eyes. Seeing that she had no intention of returning the horse, it finally turned its head and pointed its butt at her, wagged its tail a few times, and then dug its hooves and ran away.
Ji Qingwu's eyes widened and he asked, "Why did it leave?"
Emperor Wu Su said: "Don't worry about Tayun, it will wander away on its own."
It turns out that this horse is called Tayun. When running, it really feels like walking on clouds. It is also very smart and knows how to run on its own.
Ji Qingwu lay back comfortably, using the ground as her mat and the sky as her blanket, looking at the stars in the night sky. She had never experienced such a comfortable time before.
When she had seen enough, she raised her head and looked at Emperor Wu Su who was sitting next to her. He left the entire leopard skin to herself and sat directly on the grass.
She then straightened up with a guilty conscience and said, "There is still some space. Your Majesty, please come closer. The ground is cold."
"You just remembered to ask me to come over and sit down now?"
This couldn't be blamed on her. Ji Qingwu was so dizzy when he got off the horse that he didn't even know where she was lying.
The woman's skin was as smooth as jade, and the night cast a halo on her face.
Her eyebrows are dark as green mountains in the distance, her eyes are bright as white teeth and her eyes are as clear as blue water. Although she is lying on the white animal skin with neat clothes, she looks enchanting because of her lazy posture.
Emperor Wu Su had to sit farther away to suppress the urge to turn into a wild beast and pounce on the enemy.
He said, "You lie down. When I was marching and fighting in the north, I even lived in the snow."
These days, Ji Qingwu treated him as an emperor and almost forgot that he was once the General Dingbei in the northern border.
The border area was bitterly cold and the Xijin Kingdom had invaded many times. He had led his troops in at least a hundred battles. Not to mention sitting on the grass, he even ate grass when in danger.
Emperor Wu Su looked at the stars dotted down the hill in the distance with a profound expression. Ji Qingwu followed his gaze and saw the lights of thousands of homes in Lin'an City.
The two of them looked at each other quietly for a long time, and Ji Qingwu said softly: "Your Majesty, Beili will definitely establish a long-term peace and achieve long-term governance."
He looked at her with deep eyes: "Have you learned how to guess the emperor's mind?"
"I dare not."
"Is there anything you dare not do? Allow me to guess what I am thinking."
Since the emperor has asked her to do so, she should be allowed to do so.
Ji Qingwu said seriously, "Your Majesty is the best in the world, and has made great achievements on horseback. A king who founded a country must have faced many difficulties and setbacks. He must be thinking about the affairs of the court."
Emperor Wu Su was silent for a long time, then lowered his head and chuckled, "Awu's guess was wrong."
Ji Qingwu looked at him, and he took her hand and held it in his palm.
"I wonder, among all the lights in the houses, is there one that is lit for me?"
It is not a matter of the country, but of family affection.
His palms were hot, but Ji Qingwu's palms began to sweat.
She understood the deep meaning behind these words.
Ji Qingwu paused, and said with mixed feelings: "The lights in Lin'an City are so bright because of Your Majesty."
That burning gaze fell on her face.
Ji Qingwu continued in a soft voice: "In the entire Phoenix Palace, if Your Majesty wants to go somewhere, that place will be lit up for Your Majesty."
Asking her to enter the palace and be a canary in a cage for people to admire, Ji Qingwu asked herself, for her now, freedom and happiness are more important.
When she finished speaking, the light in Emperor Wu Su's eyes dimmed, and obvious disappointment was revealed in his eyes.
Why were she rejected again and again? For whom should her lamp be lit? The emperor already had the answer in his mind. It was Wei Ting who was far away in the northern military camp.
Ji Qingwu pursed his lips and was about to speak.
Emperor Wu Su beside her stood up and left. She didn't need to look at his expression to feel the man's obvious anger from his back.
She quietly followed the sullen emperor and returned to the tent she saw when she came.
There were a dozen black-armored guards from the Imperial City Bureau on patrol, and the rest were roasting meat in front of the campfire. The aroma of meat and wine reached her nose.
When the Black-Armored Guards saw Emperor Wu Su, they immediately stood up and knelt down in neat and well-trained salute. Envoy Duan Mingfeng stepped forward quickly and was visibly surprised when he saw Ji Qingwu.
The emperor had never brought a woman here, not even the favored Concubine Wei.
Duan Mingfeng bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu Su waved his hand and said, "Do as you please." The emperor enforced strict military discipline, but was relaxed to a certain extent. He asked, "Has Yuchi Lianping returned?"
Duan Mingfeng said: "The general has not returned yet."
Emperor Wu Su nodded expressionlessly, then ignored Ji Qingwu and went into the large tent in the center. Ji Qingwu's mind was not on the emperor.
As soon as she approached, she turned her head and stared at the sizzling red meat roasting on the charcoal fire.
She twitched her nose a few times and said, "It's almost blurry."
Duan Mingfeng didn't react to what she was saying.
After the emperor entered, the black-armored guards were all looking at the woman following behind his majesty with curiosity. She was not a concubine in the palace, and they did not pay attention to the barbecue in front of them.
Ji Qingwu hurried forward and neatly turned the meat in the iron net over.
She said, "If you don't turn it over, the meat will get mushy."
Emperor Wu Su sat in front of the large desk in the tent for a while before Ji Qingwu followed him in.
He was holding a metal tray in his hand, which contained freshly roasted meat. The skin was golden, the meat was cooked to the perfect temperature, and it was steaming hot.
Ji Qingwu just asked Duan Mingfeng and learned that this was a wild boar hunted in the mountains.
She had heard that black pork was delicious, with firm but not dry meat, but she had never had the pleasure of trying it.
Ji Qingwu secretly swallowed her saliva. It was not because she was greedy, but the aroma of the meat kept drilling into her nostrils.
Especially when it was freshly grilled and the skin was still crispy, she licked her lips thinking about the taste and texture of the meat.
Ji Qingwu was the first to break the silence after the two returned from the grassland, took the initiative to move forward and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"
Emperor Wu Su saw that she was unwilling to do anything for no reason, and his forehead twitched with pain. He said unhappily, "You can use it yourself."
Ji Qingwu was waiting for this sentence. She had no intention of persuading him to eat. She immediately picked up the chopsticks from the plate, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. As soon as she bit into it, she felt the gravy bursting in her mouth.
Before she could enjoy this delicious meal, her expression froze.
As soon as Emperor Wu Su picked up a book on military strategy, he heard her hiss.
