Chapter 147 Imperial Master
Yan Jing also took a walk around the crew in the morning.
The filming of the crew is nearing completion, much faster than he expected.
Even the assistant director and screenwriter were still joking that today's actors have adapted to his devilish rhythm and his style.
Yan Jing was also quite helpless, but the crew and actors cooperated very well this time.
That's why the filming went so smoothly.
Today, only some shots need to be re-shot, which are all handled by the assistant director. Yan Jing knew that Jun Qiulan could not pick him up until noon, so he still came to the crew to take a look.
When the time came, he returned to Jun Qiulan and waited.
Returning to ancient times again, he even changed into a suitable set of clothes.
Jun Qiulan looked at them and whispered, "Now let's go out and see who's the male favorite?"
She was dressed more gorgeously than him.
If you insist, his imperial robes are just more low-key, but the materials used are better than Yan Jing's costumes.
But Yan Jing's set...can satisfy the aesthetic tastes of most people.
At first glance, Yan Jing's costume is indeed better looking.
Yan Jing said seriously, "After all, I am your male favorite. If I dress too poorly, wouldn't that be embarrassing for Your Highness?"
Jun Qiulan was speechless. "Let's go take a look in the courtyard outside. The emperor has given us quite a few gifts. See which ones can be sold."
"Okay." Yan Jing said.
The eunuchs and palace maids guarding outside the door were trembling with fear when they saw Jun Qiulan go in, change her clothes, and come out with the man from last night. They didn't dare to say a word.
Especially those who were responsible for close service, when they went in to help their master change clothes in the morning, they did not see this man.
After their master went out to attend court, they went in to tidy up the bedding and clean up, but they didn't see the man.
So where did this man come from?
It was the same last night. The master just washed up alone and brought this man with him when he came out.
They were full of doubts, but they didn't dare to ask. The master didn't introduce the man's identity, so they could only pay their respects.
"Take a look." Jun Qiulan ordered everyone to open all the boxes.
Yan Jing was truly eye-opening. "Now it seems I haven't seen the world."
Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing, "Choose."
Yan Jing really selected some of them in a proper manner.
Calligraphy and paintings, jade, various gemstones, pearls...
There were eighty loads of treasures, and Yan Jing picked out more than half of them.
"So many?" Jun Qiulan asked if so many could be sold for money?
I also selected a lot of porcelain.
Isn’t it said that porcelain can’t be sold at a high price?
Yan Jing: "They look nice. I think Grandpa likes them. Take some back to collect them and sell the rest."
Jun Qiulan nodded as a matter of course, "That's fine."
Anyway, when they leave, they can't take these things with them.
It would be nice to bring some back.
Jun Qiulan thought these things were pretty good, worthy of being gifts from the emperor.
He thought that he could take everything with him before leaving.
Even if they cannot be brought to modern times to sell for money, when they revolt, these things can be used to reward those who have made contributions.
It’s not a waste.
"Put these things in my room, and put the rest in the storeroom."
The eunuchs in attendance went to do it without stopping.
"Your Highness, would you like to have a meal?" asked the serving maid.
Jun Qiulan thought about it and said, "No need to prepare anything, let's go out to eat."
In this situation, he has to be careful about someone poisoning and assassinating him, so it would be safer to go out for a meal.
Yan Jing also meant this.
He was quite curious about the ancient capital, the capital city at the foot of the emperor.
Jun Qiulan was also considered the host. He first took Yan Jing to the best restaurant in the capital for a meal.
"The dishes here are good and quite authentic." Yan Jing still felt that they were not up to par.
Jun Qiulan suppressed a smile: "You feel that there is a lack of technology and hard work."
Yan Jing thought about it for a moment and thought that this was probably the case, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go, let's go to the capital first and show those spies the two of us holding hands." There was a hint of teasing in Jun Qiulan's tone.
Today he was named regent. The court officials were unwilling, and he was also unwilling, but he is now also a first-rank prince.
This identity alone is enough to make many people wary.
Yan Jing held Jun Qiulan's hand and walked on the streets of the capital, looking quite cool.
Whether it was passers-by or people observing secretly, their jaws dropped.
Yan Jing: "I guess they are now speculating about my identity."
Jun Qiulan: "Isn't this the result we want? The truth is ready."
He was brought into the palace today, and the others were just treated as small ornaments.
I had no idea that this was a weapon that transcended time.
Although these people are unlikely to take action under the emperor's nose, it is also possible to avoid any fools from committing crimes against the will of the emperor.
Yan Jing: "Don't worry."
The two of them strolled around for half the afternoon before going to Yan's bookstore.
Last time, Manager Yan mentioned that the closer the area is to the capital, the more likely it is that the Yan family owns it.
The Yan family always stayed a little further away, just in case.
Yan Jing came to the door and told the waiter the secret code.
The waiter was startled: "Gentlemen, please take your seats. If you want to publish a book, you still have to let the shopkeeper review it."
This is of course the statement made to the outside world.
The two went upstairs, and before they had even finished half a cup of tea, an old man and an even older man walked in.
The two supported each other.
"Are the ones coming here the descendants of Brother Huai?" The old man trembled, tears in his cloudy eyes.
Yan Jing and Jun Qiulan immediately stood up and supported the old man on both sides.
Yan Jing: "But Third Grandpa? I am Yan Jing, and Yan Huai is my grandpa."
The middle-aged and elderly people next to him were also excited: "Kid, you should call me uncle."
"Uncle." Yan Jing was also somewhat touched.
Logically speaking, he didn't know he had so many relatives before. Even if he knew, he had never met them, so there was no relationship between them.
But now seeing his third grandfather and uncle so excited, he was not calm either.
Thinking of my grandfather's tearful face after receiving the letter that day, my heart aches.
This era...
Can eat people.
Yan Jing and Jun Qiulan helped Third Grandpa sit down, "Third Grandpa, don't get too excited."
Jun Qiulan offered a cup of warm tea, "Third Grandpa, have some tea."
Mr. Yan Sanye breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.
"I received a letter from my youngest son a few days ago, saying that it was the descendants of my younger brother Huai who came to visit. I didn't dare to believe it, fearing that they were imposters, but I still had some anticipation in my heart. Now that I see you, I no longer have any doubts."
Although Yan Jing and Yan Huai are not very similar, they are children of their Yan family. Perhaps because of their blood relationship, they feel close to each other as soon as they meet.
Yan Jing: "Third Grandfather, I also learned about my life experience not long ago. Grandfather also cares about the tribe members, but he is worried that his appearance will harm the tribe members again. He has lived in torment all his life."
Third Master Yan sighed, "Brother Huai is just like that. Naturally, a family should share the same prosperity, but there's no reason why we can't share the same hardships."
What happened back then cannot be blamed on Huaidi at all.
The family members of the clan all knew that the emperor could not tolerate them and Huaidi's abilities.
Thinking of this, Third Master Yan asked again: "Does Jing'er also have your grandfather's abilities now?"
Otherwise, how can I return to this world again?
Yan Jing looked at Jun Qiulan.
Jun Qiulan: "Third Grandfather, let me tell you. I gained this ability by chance. I just talked to Yan Jing about it not long ago, and then we learned about each other's identities and origins."
Third Master Yan looked at Jun Qiulan and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, right? No, you should call him Prince Rui now."
Jun Qiulan: "I don't dare to be called the prince by Third Grandfather. I came back this time because of the situation."
Third Master Yan smiled and said, "Of course I know. Yan Su has communicated with us about what's happening in the border town. Don't worry, our Yan family will definitely follow."
Uncle Yan also said, "Don't worry, nephew. What's the name of that city over there? Oh, comrade, Comrade Jun, don't worry. Your thoughts and the world you pursue are also the beautiful world that Uncle Huai once talked about. It is also the pursuit of our clan."
Jun Qiulan also felt emotional.
A few decades ago, the country in another world was not so beautiful.
But even so, it is beyond the reach of this world.
Uncle Yan and Third Master Yan took Yan Jing aside to talk about what had happened over the years, and how everyone escaped and settled down after the Yan family fell into trouble, and how they got in touch with each other.
Yan Jing also talked about some things about his grandfather and the things that happened to their branch of the Yan family in another world.
Third Master Yan was filled with emotion: "Cousin Huai is truly remarkable. He has made a name for himself in a strange place."
After a pause, he continued, "I'm old now, and I don't know if I can meet Brother Huai again in this life."
Jun Qiulan was finally able to be put to use. "That's easy. I'll send Third Grandpa there when the time is right."
Both he and Grandpa Yan have the ability to travel through time. It is indeed as Yan Jing worried, not knowing who can lead whom and whether it will succeed.
But he could directly bring Third Grandpa Yan over to reunite with Grandpa Yan.
The current name is strange.
Grandpa Yan is the younger brother of Third Master Yan, so he should call him Seventh Master Yan.
Yan Jing understood Jun Qiulan's thoughts and said with a smile, "Grandpa is waiting for you to change your mind."
When the word "Yan" in Grandpa Yan is removed, it will be less difficult to pronounce.
Jun Qiulan's face flushed, and he muttered quietly, "Why are you saying this in front of an old man?"
Third Master Yan laughed heartily: "It's okay, it's okay. We are not old and confused. We have experienced so much in this life. As long as you are happy, that's enough."
Uncle Yan also said: "My youngest son is the same as you. I have seen it a long time ago. Now he has married a man and adopted a child from his clan. He is living a good life."
This surprised both Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing.
The two of them are in a special situation now and cannot stay in Yan's Bookstore for long.
Seeing that the time was almost up, they agreed on the next time they would meet and then said goodbye.
As they walked out of Yan's Bookstore, the two were still holding hands.
But Yan Jing’s mood was not particularly good.
It's not that I'm in a bad mood, it's that I have a lot of emotions.
Jun Qiulan squeezed her boyfriend's hand and said, "Don't think too much. The situation is pretty good now."
Yan Jingzhi nodded: "I just saw that Third Grandpa is not feeling well."
The average life expectancy in this era is not high.
Grandpa Yan San is over eighty years old.
Jun Qiulan: "That's easy. I'll take Third Master Yan over there some other day. You can think of a way to get Third Master Yan checked."
No one can escape birth, old age, sickness and death.
However, with advanced medicine, human life can be extended to a certain extent.
Yan Jing: "Then I'll have to trouble Lanlan again."
Jun Qiulan sighed, "You asked me to change my words earlier?"
If we change our words, we are all one family, right? What trouble are we talking about?
Yan Jing raised his eyebrows: "When can I change my words?"
He could see that Jun Qiulan's parents must have known about their relationship for a long time.
Jun Qiulan scratched his head. "Well, I'll talk to my parents about this after I get back. The customs here may be a little different."
Yan Jing understood.
I just heard my uncle say that his cousin also married a man.
The word "marry" can represent many things.
In modern times, marriage between men is not protected by law, and male couples spend their lives together, which is relatively low-key.
At least it won't be a big deal.
In ancient times, there were different customs and habits here.
He still had to find out more and not let Jun Qiulan's parents think he was too rude.
Suddenly his body stiffened again. He had been living with Jun Qiulan these days. In the eyes of ancient people, such behavior was already inappropriate, right?
Jun Qiulan: "What's wrong?"
Yan Jing hesitated and expressed his concerns, which made Jun Qiulan laugh out loud.
This time Yan Jing felt a little embarrassed.
Jun Qiulan laughed enough before speaking: "My parents have also been influenced by a lot of modern knowledge, so don't worry."
Only then did Yan Jing relax a little.
"By the way, the situation is so complicated now. When are you planning to leave?"
Jun Qiulan was silent for a moment: "We have to wait a few more days."
Today he sent someone to deliver a letter to the general's mansion.
There is no need to worry about the contents of the letter being read by others. General Huo said that his family has a special way of reading letters.
The current situation is to wait for a reply from the other side.
Determine how many people are going with him.
It is said that there is only an old lady Huo and General Huo's two children.
But the Huo family is also a family of military generals with a huge family network.
When they started the rebellion, the Huo family members would not be safe either.
Of course, those are side branches. General Huo and his men have made a lot of arrangements in this year.
Most of them left Beijing one after another.
The emperor didn't keep as close an eye on the side branches.
But we must also be wary of unexpected situations. What if someone else is unable to leave?
He has to be responsible for General Huo's family.
Yan Jing nodded, "For now, just listen to what's happening in the court, don't interfere."
"Oh, by the way, the emperor also gave me ten pills today." Jun Qiulan said, "At the morning court today, I also noticed that the expressions of other ministers were not quite right."
I'm afraid it's all the emperor's gift.
Yan Jing: "It's your own fault."
Jun Qiulan added, "And that miraculous doctor hasn't shown up yet."
This person is a variable.
No one knows his origins.
Yan Jing was silent for a moment: "Do you think it's possible that he is also from another world?"
Jun Qiulan was shocked.
Countless imperial doctors had failed to cure the emperor's infertility. This miracle doctor appeared and cured the emperor within a few months, and the emperor gave birth to so many children one after another.
According to the medical knowledge of their time, imperial physicians were considered the ceiling of medicine.
They couldn't cure the emperor, so where were the more advanced medical techniques?
Jun Qiulan has the opportunity to travel through time, and Grandpa Yan also had such an opportunity more than ten years ago. In another world, maybe there are people who have similar opportunities as them?
Traveling back and forth is a bit novel. Even if he can only travel to one side, as long as he comes from a more advanced world, even if it is just a world with more advanced medical skills.
The two had just talked about this person and had not walked far when a man dressed as a young Taoist priest suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Prince Rui, my Imperial Master invites you."
The national teacher is the miracle doctor from before.
Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing looked at each other.
He even came to me on his own initiative.
Yan Jing thought for a moment: "Since he's here, let's go and meet him, so that he won't think we're afraid of him."
Jun Qiulan nodded, "Young Taoist Priest, please lead the way."
The young Taoist priest bowed and led the way, taking them straight to a teahouse.
The location is a bit remote.
Jun Qiulan whispered to Yan Jing, "Hold me tight, don't let go under any circumstances."
Yan Jing also whispered: "Don't worry, the truth is in my hands."
As soon as they entered the door, Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing saw a man in his thirties.
But his aura was quite that of a hermit.
Jun Qiulan had dealt with this person when he was still the crown prince.
The imperial teacher at that time was relatively low-key, just like a doctor. It was not until the birth of the first prince and the emperor lavished rewards on him that he changed a bit and began to emerge.
Now it seems that the successive births of princes and princesses are due to the great contribution of this imperial teacher. The momentum is indeed different.
As soon as Jun Qiulan entered, he pulled Yan Jing to sit in the main seat and asked, "I wonder what the Imperial Master wants from me?"
The Imperial Master smiled and said, "Of course, I'm here to congratulate His Majesty on his return to the court, and to catch up with him."
Jun Qiulan didn't want to waste time talking to him. "Master, please get straight to the point. I don't have the time to reminisce with you."
Yan Jing watched Jun Qiulan showing off with great interest. It felt really different.
Fascinating.
The Imperial Preceptor laughed and said, "Your Highness is still so straightforward. This Imperial Preceptor, I have something to discuss with Your Highness today."
Sometimes he calls him Your Highness, sometimes he calls him Crown Prince.
Jun Qiulan: "I don't think there's anything you and I can discuss."
The Imperial Master didn't waste any more words. "Your Highness only needs to allow me to continue to be the Imperial Master after the matter is accomplished. I can also provide you with what you want."
Jun Qiulan laughed and said, "Success, what can I accomplish?"
It seems that this national teacher is very powerful and knows a lot of information, so we must be more careful.
Jun Qiulan had tested the emperor, but the emperor didn't know much information, and it was all messy, a mixture of true and false.
I don’t know whether the person who delivered the message spread false information, or whether the information I heard was false.
In short, the emperor didn't know what they were really going to do.
This imperial teacher probably knows more than the emperor.
Now that they are in the capital, things have not been settled yet, so naturally they have to be cautious.
They still don't know the origin and purpose of this national teacher.
Imperial Master: "Your Highness, there is no need to beat around the bush with me. When Your Highness succeeds, I, the Imperial Master, will certainly allow you to ascend the throne legitimately."
According to the current situation, Jun Qiulan's rebellion and enthronement as emperor is not orthodox, and many traditional aristocratic families would probably not recognize it.
What if there was a way to make Jun Qiulan legitimate?
Jun Qiulan exchanged glances with Yan Jing again at this time.
This person doesn't look like someone from modern times.
Yan Jing, however, thought that this might not be the case. He had read many male-oriented novels before, and many of the protagonists in male-oriented novels traveled through time and space to ancient times to cause trouble, all in order to rebel and become emperor.
Becoming emperor was basically their only goal.
This imperial teacher... couldn't become emperor himself, perhaps because he lacked the ability, so he might have wanted to turn the emperor into his puppet.
Yan Jing thought for a moment and then took out the truth: "Master, do you recognize this?"
The Imperial Master took a closer look.
Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing were both observing carefully.
I didn't see anything unusual in the eyes of the national teacher.
"I don't recognize it. Is this what it is?"
The two exchanged glances. Even if this person was a time traveler, he couldn't have come from the modern era.
But we cannot rule out the possibility that it came from another world.
Yan Jing retracted the truth: "It's no big deal. Since the Imperial Master doesn't recognize this thing, then he is not of the same kind as us. We can't possibly agree to the Imperial Master's conditions."
The Imperial Master was annoyed for a moment, but then returned to normal.
"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that I will tell His Majesty what you did in the border town?"
Jun Qiulan spread his hands: "Just go ahead and tell me."
At worst, they can leave overnight.
Anyway, as long as Mrs. Huo is taken away, they will no longer have any interest in the court.
It's a complete mess.
Just one morning court session, Jun Qiulan's head was ached from their noise.
Originally, I just wanted to take a look at the situation in the court, analyze the situation, and see if it would be helpful for future development.
But this is only under favorable circumstances. If not, they don't have to force it.
In the end, all the princes' relatives will be liquidated.
The Imperial Master looked at Yan Jing fiercely again: "Who are you?"
Yan Jing: "He is just a nobody, so you don't need to worry about him, Imperial Master."
The Imperial Master looked at their holding hands again and began to mock again, "He is nothing more than His Highness's male favorite."
Jun Qiulan and Yan Jing looked at each other.
Here it comes, here comes the sarcasm.
The two of them felt nothing in their hearts, and even felt like laughing.
The laughter was hidden in his throat, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.
The national teacher felt like he had punched cotton.
Jun Qiulan pulled Yan Jing up again.
"It's getting late. I need to take my male favorite home to have some fun. Imperial Master, why don't you go to the palace and talk to His Majesty about what we did in the border town? Oh, and also tell him about me parading around with my male favorite."
When he left, the Imperial Master's face was dark with a hint of green.
Like being angry.
Jun Qiulan was in a good mood.
Yan Jing: "Hasn't anyone ever checked this person's background before?"
Jun Qiulan shook his head. "When he entered the palace, he only said he was a country doctor who knew a bit about fortune-telling. He figured out that the country's fortune was unstable and that the reason was because the emperor had no heir. That's why he specifically sent money to treat the emperor in order to stabilize the country's fortune."
Yan Jing seemed to be thinking, "I'm more inclined to believe that he traveled through time, but I don't know from which world."
This matter still needs to be observed and investigated.
Don't wait until a rebellion breaks out in the future, when this person jumps out to trip you up. You still don't know what tricks he has up his sleeve.
Jun Qiulan didn't have so many concerns: "Why not just kill him directly."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: If you are 10 minutes late today, you will get a small red envelope.
Love you.
