Chapter 139: Someday
"That entourage is so rude!"
In the inner sanctum, the queen took off her veil and the chalcedony beads on her head, pouted and complained, "He humiliated me and the national teacher. β
ββ¦β¦ He is no ordinary person. Cheng Yin smiled and comforted her, "He should just pretend to be an entourage, maybe his status is noble." β
"Yes, his pride is undisguised." The national teacher said.
ββ¦β¦ Come with me, Erner. Cheng Yin beckoned to the national teacher, took him out, and admonished: "Ranran, you are not allowed to follow." β
The queen was about to follow curiously, but was forbidden by Chengyin, and stood in place with a pouting in displeasure.
But Brother Chengyin called me Ranran, hehe.
She pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and turned to walk towards her bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Chengyin was really powerful just now." The waitress smiled and chatted with her.
"Hmm!" The queen nodded happily, "I never knew that Brother Chengyin's archery skills were so good!" You say, why don't we have such people in our country......"
"We are just a small country, I heard that the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains is vast, and the four seas are the territory of the Tang Emperor, and there are many talented people!" The waitress replied as she took off her heavy gown.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know if Brother Chengyin is in Datang, can he be regarded as a capable person? The queen tilted her head in thought.
/δΈ/ζ¬/Read/Novel ybdu"It must be, people like Mr. Chengyin are respectable everywhere...... Belch...... Phoenix, phoenix feather antlers? β
"Poof! You are foolish! That's a rarity! You haven't studied Chinese well! The queen laughed and pushed her.
The waitress pursed her lips and said, "Do you think anyone can get Mr. Chengyin's personal guidance?" He has only taught you and the national teacher, and we can only hide under the window and eavesdrop. β
The queen loved to hear this, and with a smile she picked up the big dates brought by the caravan and took a bite, which was sweet.
When I thought of Chengyin, all the humiliation, grievances, and impatience flew away.
The national teacher Ernar was called to his room by Chengyin.
He loves and hates Chengyin, a Han man who is seven years older than him.
Love him to teach himself, love him to assist that little fool king.
I hate him for being so good, I can't compare to him everywhere, and in the heart of that little fool monarch, his status cannot be shaken.
"Chengyin...... Sir, what are you calling me for? The national teacher asked.
"Erner, it's been a long time since I've called you that." Cheng Yin pointed to the bench and asked him to sit down and speak, "Since you inherited the position of national teacher, I have not treated you as a child, but as a man. β
Hearing this, Ernar straightened her back faintly.
"You have been studying hard, working hard day and night, I know all this, and then that little stupid monarch also knows...... You've worked hard. Cheng Yin couldn't help but smile when he saw the look of unwillingness to admit defeat on his face.
The young boy always wants to prove himself, and he has always instilled in him that he must be rational and let reason prevail over blood, so that he will not do anything wrong.
"Although the Jade Fuling Kingdom is small, it is also the brainchild of several generations, and it is your destiny to protect this place." Cheng Yin sighed softly, "Although you are not very old, you have to take responsibility and cannot retreat. β
"Of course!" Ernar frowned, "What the hell are you going to say?" Is there something I need to do? No need to beat around the bush, I can do anything for the sake of the country! β
Cheng Yin smiled and nodded, "Good boy." β
"You said you wouldn't treat me as a child!" Ernar is a little fried, he hates Chengyin's attitude the most, and immediately compares himself to himself!
Cheng Yin changed the conversation and took out a leather roll with a long list of gift slips written on it.
"In the past few years, I have collected a lot of tributes, most of which are things that the Tang court likes, and this court meeting is very important, and I can't think of a better candidate......"
ββ¦β¦ Are you asking me to go? β
Cheng Yin nodded, "No one knows this place better than you, no one speaks Chinese better than you, and no one has a better position to represent the queen than you...... There is no one more faithful than you. β
Ernar pursed her lips, Cheng Yin said so, and she had nothing to say.
"However, the Jade Fuling Kingdom is a small country, and for the Tang Dynasty, it is an insignificant small country, and you must also have a clear understanding of this, and it is expected that you will be despised by others." Cheng Yin said as he took out his nameplate.
He stared at the nameplate in his hand, groaned for a moment, and finally handed it out.
"You are in Yumen Pass, you can take this nameplate to find the guard, and he will open the door for you...... After going to Chang'an, if you encounter any difficulties, you can go to the house written on this nameplate for help, and I will repair a book and bring it to you. β
Ernar took the nameplate, looked at it carefully, and looked up at Chengyin.
There was shock and anger in his eyes.
ββ¦β¦ So, what kind of lost travelers, what encounter with sand bandits, are all lies?! He clenched the nameplate indignantly, "You are a prince in the Tang Dynasty!" How can you get lost at the desert border? Bandits?! β
ββ¦β¦ I was indeed lost, and on the way to find the Jade Fuling Kingdom, I got lost. Cheng Yin said lightly, "I could have kept you hidden until one day I disappeared in front of your eyes, but I have a lot of feelings for this place and for you, so before I leave, I still want to protect you." β
"Wait! What did you say? You're leaving?! Hearing this, Ennar's surprise overshadowed his anger.
Chengyin smiled, "Someday...... Isn't it? β
Ernar looked at Chengyin in a daze, over the years, he had already accepted Chengyin's identity as a "wandering traveler", seeing that he stayed here without desire, and thought that he was a homeless person.
Suddenly took out a nameplate and said a parting word suddenly......
"You...... You're not really leaving, are you? And she-"
How can the little foolish monarch who clings to you all day long accept your departure?
"I said, one day...... Not now. Cheng Yin waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about these later, let's talk about the things in front of me first." β
He unfolded the list, looked at it carefully, rolled it up, and handed it to Ernar.
"Do you remember what I told you about how subtle it is in the officialdom of the Central Plains?" Cheng Yin put his hands on his knees and sat upright looking at Ernard.
"Yes." "If you are rejected by one side, seek the help of the other side, and in the meantime, look at what you want and what you are most afraid of the other side." β
Cheng Yin nodded and pointed to the gift list, "There is a part of this, which is used to open up the important ministers of the imperial court for you, except for chalcedony, there are no precious metals here, only special tributes, you can play well...... Remember, when you arrive in Chang'an, you are just a foreigner, a junior, and an envoy of a small country, and you must know etiquette. β
"Yes, yes! Thousands of wears are not worn by sycophants! Central Plains people like to listen to good things! Right? Ernar waved her hand impatiently.
Cheng Yin laughed, "Yes, I learned Chinese very well." β
The two sat opposite each other, Ernar bit her lip and asked hesitantly, "That little fool, do you know about you?" β
Chengyin shook her head, "No, she doesn't know anything, and there's no need for her to know...... When the decree of the Tang Dynasty comes, it is time for me to go back and restore my life. β
Ernar frowned, and asked unhappily, "What is your life?" Why did you come to find the Jade Soul Country? β
"The emperor of the Celestial Empire, sitting on the four seas, heard from somewhere that there was a strange small country, the trace is difficult to find, so his curiosity is blazing, and he wants to find out...... When you arrive in Chang'an, what should you say to the outside world, do you want me to teach you? Cheng Yin glanced at him.
"You and I are like that little fool monarch? She's learned how to be coquettish with you over the years! I'm honestly learning everything about the Han people! "Of course I know you can't tell the truth!" If you really want to talk about her eyes, the emperor of the Celestial Empire would have arrested her to Chang'an a long time ago and treated her like a rare animal! β
Cheng Yin nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "The future life is terrifying, in just seven years, you can learn from a border city boy, and you can inherit your family's strange spells, it's really a genius." β
"Seven years is not short!" Erner was praised, blushed slightly, and retorted: "In seven years, that little girl who can only cry has grown into a big girl!" β
ββ¦β¦ In my eyes, she is no different from seven years ago, she is still a little girl. Cheng Yin laughed, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, put away what I gave you." β
Ernar came out of Chengyin's room, walked a few steps, and couldn't help but look back.
This room is the most remote part of the entire palace, and Chengyin's living expenses are better than ordinary maids and guards.
The Jade Fuling Kingdom is a small country, whether it is a monarch or a national teacher, it is better and richer than ordinary people, not to mention luxury.
Not to mention compared with the Central Plains, even the wealthy families in Yumen Pass can't compare, Chengyin is here...... After seven years of "poverty", why is this?
He could have left by himself and never come back after finding the Jade Fuling Kingdom, why did he have to live in this yellow sand desert for so many years?
Erner has never been to Chang'an, he has been to Yumen Pass as far as possible, the people of Yumen Pass shouting horses neighing, the prosperous scene has left a deep impression on him, he can't imagine what the legendary Chang'an is like.
As he distracted, he walked out, and it was already a very dark night outside, and in order to save supplies, the palace was often in a corridor, and only one stone platform was burning with fire.
Just after a corner, he was hit coldly, and the nameplate he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
As soon as Ernar looked up and saw that the little fool monarch was rubbing his sore nose, he first opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Hey, why do you walk without sound!" βγ
