In the Imperial Garden, the feast continues. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at the young envoy of the Jin Kingdom without smiling.

"Yuan Shizi, I wonder how your father's health is doing? I haven't heard from him for a long time since the Battle of Guguan. The emperor took a sip of his glass, his eyes full of playfulness.

The envoy of the Jin State who came to the Great Zhou this time was not someone else, but Yuan Hao, the son of Han Wang Yuannu, who was in power in the Jin State for a while.

Speaking of Han Wang Yuanfu of the Jin Kingdom, we have to mention the Battle of Guguan. In this famous battle between the two countries ten years ago, the Jin State invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and when the Great Zhou fell into the crisis of the war to destroy the country, the emperor Zhao Qi personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. The two armies clashed on the Guguan Plain and fought fiercely for several months, culminating in the Great Zhou's success in repelling the Jin invasion. And this war made the Jin State lose a lot of national strength, and it was difficult to start another war in ten years, and it also gave the Great Zhou ten years of precious time to survive.

And the commander of the army of the Jin State in the Guguan War was none other than the Han Wang Yuanfu of the Jin State. Because this battle did not succeed in destroying the Great Zhou Dynasty, it also damaged the national strength of the Jin State, and made 100,000 warriors of the Jin Kingdom die in battle. After Han Wang Yuanfu returned to the Jin Kingdom, he was questioned by countless people in the court, and he was even more bedridden under depression. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor of the Jin State still trusted him, I am afraid that Yuan Nu would have gradually withdrawn from the political stage.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, they were full of irony. The banquet, which was still lively, suddenly quieted down, and everyone's eyes looked at Yuan Hao, knowing that he was Yuan Nu's son, thinking about how he would answer this humiliating question.

"My father is still in good health, and when I left, he specially asked me to say hello to His Majesty, hoping that this time I can see His Majesty's heroic posture on the battlefield." Yuan Hao sat in the lower seat, his face had not changed, he squinted his eyes slightly, and replied without showing weakness.

The emperor was not angry when he heard this, and snorted softly in his nasal voice, "Really? That's something I'm looking forward to. The emperor gestured to him with a wine glass, and then drank it all, "Yuan Shizi, I still have some things to deal with, please take care of yourself." With that, he left the Imperial Garden with a group of guards.

The emperor's sudden departure from the table left the ministers scratching their heads. Now that the emperor is gone, the banquet is naturally over, and the ministers whisper, and then they all leave. Yuan Hao naturally couldn't stay in the palace, he was a noble person, he was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom, and the ministers all hugged him and left.

On the high platform in the distance, someone took in all these scenes.

Shen Qiwu did not rush back after coming out of Cining Palace, but went to Rongde Palace full of concerns.

She took Zhao Mu with her, and the two stood on the high platform in the palace and looked motionless into the distance.

"Is he the little prince of the Jin Kingdom?" Zhao Mu frowned, he felt that his gaze had never been stagnant. He watched many ministers circling around Yuan Hao, currying favor.

Shen Qiwu nodded and looked at him sideways, wanting to see how Zhao Mu would react.

Zhao Mu's face was as serious as it had never been, Shen Qiwu was the first time he had seen him like this, and his usual indecent appearance was like two people.

"Your mother is very worried about you, if this Yuan Hao knew that you were going to preside over the poetry meeting, he would definitely try his best to humiliate you." Shen Qiwu's eyes were worried, and when she thought of this, she felt a little distressed in her heart.

She taught Zhao Mu a lot, but she never taught poetry. It's not that she doesn't want to, but she herself actually doesn't, do you want Zhao Mu to memorize 300 ancient poems?

Zhao Mu's face did not have a panicked look, he looked at Shen Qiwu, his eyes were firm and fearless.

"Isn't there still you?" The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked into a smile, and his hair flew in the wind.

Shen Qiwu looked at him and was stunned for a while, and there was a faint throbbing in her heart, which made her heart beat slowly.

"I don't want to help you." Shen Qiwu hurriedly tilted his head, not daring to look at him. Even she didn't notice it, and there seemed to be a little more coquettish in her tone.

Zhao Mu may have been amused by her appearance, and laughed softly.

"Then what should I do, you are my wife, what if you don't help me?" Zhao Mutang is a prince, but at this moment, he has a rogue expression like a disciple. forced Shen Qiwu to cover his eyes.

I just can't see it.

"You, you, you." Didn't you say that the prince was just stubborn? Didn't you say that the prince wouldn't be able to pick up girls at all? Why is this person in front of him so scoundrel!? Shen Qiwu blushed and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

"What are you?" Zhao Mu slowly approached Shen Qiwu's body, Shen Qiwu subconsciously wanted to quickly distance himself from him, but he stiffened in place and couldn't move.

Watching Zhao Mu's face dilate in his pupils little by little, he could even feel Zhao Mu's hot and humid snort and the murmuring in his ears.

"Kick you." Shen Qiwu's face turned crimson, and he kicked Zhao Mu's calf in a hurry.

Zhao Muqu was caught off guard, where did he think that Shen Qiwu would suddenly make a black hand, hunched his body and covered his calves and screamed in pain.

"Hmph." Shen Qiwu snorted triumphantly and walked off the high platform with brisk steps.

Zhao Mu looked at her back, couldn't help but show a bright smile, and then stood up straight, as if nothing had happened. He still had words in his mouth, "Sure enough, I was reluctant to kick so lightly." After speaking, he also got off the high platform, and shouted in his mouth, "Hey, wait for me, I'll send you out of the palace." ”

"I don't want you to send me!"

Shen Qiwu in the distance replied, so his steps became lighter.

......

Yuan Hao got rid of those flattering ministers, and after returning to the post station alone, a personal maid came to serve him and changed into civilian clothes.

At this time, there was still a person sitting in the hall, and he should be dressed as a guard next to Yuan Hao, but what was strange was that he was sitting on the main seat with an indifferent expression. Holding a teacup in his hand, he is sipping tea.

Seeing Yuan Hao come out, he didn't raise his eyes, and tasted tea by himself.

Yuan Hao straightened his expression, hurriedly walked to his side, and actually saluted the guard, and shouted respectfully, "Second prince." ”
