Lu Ren closed his eyes, but still couldn't help but put the brocade bag back into his arms.
At this time, Jin Kong had just walked out of the teahouse, but unexpectedly ran into Lu Ren head-on.
He was so frightened that he stepped back repeatedly, and then ran away around him as if he had seen a ghost.
Lu Ren returned to the second floor with an expressionless face and walked into the empty box alone. Wen Yu had already left.
He put Jiyue down, sat down slowly, took out the brocade belt from his arms, rubbed it slowly with his fingers, his eyes heavy.
A love that is willing to be one among many?
He couldn't do it, he wanted the princess to have only him in her eyes and heart.
When the emperor saw Wen Yu coming back, he took a sip of tea, looked at her meaningfully, and said leisurely: "My sister is really good at hiding it. There is another person selling paintings, and even I don't know about it."
"How could I hide it? This princess has always been fair and square, right? Lord Jiang?"
Jiang Qi: ...
The corners of his lips twitched, he looked at Wen Yu, then quickly lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lin Yuzhi on the side was neither angry nor happy, his face was so calm that no emotion could be seen. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a high-level monk who was practicing with his hair uncut.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly outside the window.
The emperor curled his lips: "Here it comes."
Wen Yu held her chin with her hand and looked down with interest, and saw an old acquaintance at a glance.
It was Alice who was leading the group.
She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was dressed in Western clothes, which attracted many strange looks from the people.
“Is this the Xili people?”
"The eyes are indeed blue..."
"Look at their yellow hair. Is it because they don't have enough food to eat?"
When Wen Yu heard the words from the crowd downstairs, she burst out laughing.
Lin Yuzhi said on the side: "Your Majesty, the leader is the princess of Xili, Alice, and she also signed the agreement on behalf of Xili."
The emperor glanced at Alice and hummed lightly.
The Xili delegation brought with them the tribute agreed upon in the proposal on this pilgrimage, and had a convoy of two hundred meters long.
Wen Yu said proudly: "Look, my royal brother, these are all the good things I got by borrowing your power and bullying! They are all for you!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Really? I saw in the proposal that the tribute to me also includes the beautiful men from Xili? Are they for me too?"
Wen Yu: ...
"Royal brother, what are you talking about? Are you really attracted to both men and women?"
emperor:……
The emperor had already guessed why Xili offered him a tribute of a handsome man.
"Royal sister, is this what you say about me outside? You are attracted to both men and women? How can you say that?"
Wen Yu looked innocent: "Ah?"
"Royal sister, there is no point in playing dumb."
"Ah?" Wen Yu covered her ears, "I can't hear it."
The emperor said, "In this case, I will take the beautiful man from Xili into the palace."
Wen Yu immediately said, "No, that won't work. The handsome man is mine."
emperor:……
"But I have to wait for me to confirm whether she is beautiful or not. If not, my royal brother, you can take her into the palace. You are a very nice person."
emperor:……
"Does my harem collect filth? I collect the ugly ones into my harem, you are really something."
The emperor laughed in anger, stood up and said helplessly: "You are really my good sister."
Wen Yu agreed with what he said: "It's good that you know it, my brother."
emperor:……
He flicked his sleeves and left with Lin Yuzhi and Jiang Qi.
Liu Chun, who had been afraid to breathe, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, Lord Jiang is still here, and you don't restrain yourself, and you even bargain with His Majesty."
Wen Yu's face was calm, but she said, "Oh, I forgot."
Only after seeing the entire convoy of the Xili delegation did Wen Yu take Liu Chun away.
At this time, the Secretary of the Honglu Temple had already led Alice and others to the inn that had been arranged early in the morning.
The Secretary of the Honglu Temple said in a businesslike manner: "Please rest early, everyone in the delegation will go to the palace for pilgrimage tomorrow afternoon."
"Thank you, Master Temple Secretary."
After everyone left, Alice couldn't help but want to slam the table, and even her expression changed from humble to angry.
El seemed to know what Alice wanted to say, and stopped her before she opened her mouth, "Princess, no."
Alice's face changed, and she finally uttered in Xili language after holding it in for a long time: "Damn it! Didn't you see the posture? If you didn't know, you would think they were here to take us down!"
El replied softly: "This inn must have been surrounded by the imperial guards."
"It seems that Dasheng has not completely let down its guard against us, but the imperial guards are guarding us so closely, how can brother contact us?"
"Princess, don't worry about the eldest prince. Let's prepare for the pilgrimage tomorrow."
Alice nodded: "Success or failure depends on this one move."
The two looked at each other and went back to their rooms.
Early the next morning, the princess's residence received an oral order from the emperor, saying that Wen Yu should dress up and attend the pilgrimage ceremony.
How could Wen Yu miss such a major event? After all, she was really curious about what Xili was trying to do.
Although he was beaten by Lu Ren so hard that he surrendered in fear, he still had his own hidden agenda.
Now that they have arrived at Dasheng’s home turf, can Xili do anything to overturn the home turf?
Wen Yu finished lunch and was about to change into new clothes when Liu Qiu walked in: "Princess, Cui Xin fell into the pond."
Wen Yu:?
Wen Yu was puzzled: "How did he fall into the pond? Wasn't he recovering from his injuries?"
Liu Qiu blinked: "Because Cui Xin felt that her injury was almost healed, I arranged for her to do some work and asked her to fetch water from the small pond to water the flowers. Who knew that she would fall down..."
Wen Yu: ...
Liu Qiu is also a talented person. His buttocks haven't recovered yet, but he asked people to fetch water from the pond. It must be said that Liu Qiu is a natural black.
Even Liu Chun fell silent after hearing this.
Wen Yu said: "I know, just pull the person out."
But Liu Qiu said, "It hasn't been fished out yet. I'm here to report to the princess first."
Wen Yu:?
Wen Yu came to the small pond and saw Ning Xuanyan still soaking in the water, holding a wooden bucket in his arms to prevent himself from sinking.
"Princess……"
Wen Yu was curious: "You can't swim?"
Ning Xuanyan gritted his teeth and said, "My servant's butt is a little weak."
Wen Yu said: "It's okay, I'll teach you, you can float on the water without using your buttocks, it's very simple."
Ning Xuanyan was surprised: "How to do it?"
Wen Yu taught him seriously: "First, you must not be afraid of drowning. Let go of the barrel, and then relax your whole body. When you are about to sink, breathe gently and relax. After a few days, you will naturally float up."
Ning Xuanyan:?
