"Oh...... yes, but I don't think you're angry, so forget it. She smiled and waved her hand, and ran away with a puff of smoke.

Running to the door, the queen remembered the image problem of Chengyin's daily ear, and quickly stood on her feet and stepped out of the door in a dignified manner.

This stupid and headstrong monarch! The national teacher looked at her back, grinded his teeth, got up to coax his precious gray camel, and had to rely on it to greet the messenger.

The queen asked the guards where Mr. Chengyin went, and knew that he had gone to the hill where the palace was located, and went there with the guards.

The mountains here are overgrown with the flowers of the herb and the saxon, the flowers of which can stop bleeding and the rhizomes to clear heat, which are all very good medicinal materials.

The roots of the shuttle will parasitize the precious medicinal herb, Cistanche.

When Cheng Yin came here, he taught the doctors here to use these two plants, which the locals considered "weeds", into medicine, and he often went up to the mountains to collect them himself.

The queen was sick when she was young, and she got better in his decoction and embrace.

Bypassing the foot of the mountain, she saw the figure of Chengyin in the middle of the mountain.

She ran up the mountain with great interest, and began to call her "Brother Chengyin" from afar.

Cheng Yin glanced back, sighed and shook his head, ignoring her, turned around and continued to dig the root of a shuttle with a dagger.

The queen ran to him, panting, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and the red jade on her head [1^book^read^novel][.[ yb][du].] The jewelry of the pith was also crooked to the side because of the climbing.

She threw herself on Chengyin's back, hugged his neck, rubbed his hair affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Brother Chengyin, why don't you ignore me?" I'm so tired from crawling. ”

Cheng Yin didn't look at her, shook off her hand, and dug up the medicinal materials he found.

Seeing his cold face, the queen pursed her mouth aggrievedly and changed her words: "...... Sir, Cheng Yin...... Mr. ”

After speaking, tears broke down.

The white veil that covered the eyes was immediately soaked.

Since the death of his father Khan last year, he has no parents and no brothers, if it were not for the protection of Mr. Chengyin and the national teacher, he may have been conquered by the Great Khan in the west, where would he still be the queen who has no worries about food and clothing?

The affairs of managing the country are also done by Mr. Chengyin and the national teacher, and he is responsible for giving orders, and in order to establish his authority, Mr. Chengyin does not allow himself to call him brother in front of others.

However, my brother, who has been called for seven or eight years, really regards him as a relative, the only relative now.

Chengyin turned her head and saw that she was wiping her tears, she just ignored her, she loved to cry so much, it was really ......

He waved to the two guards and motioned for them to go farther away, and when the guards had gone away, he pulled the queen to his side.

"Why are you crying? Didn't I say that you should pay attention to your address in front of outsiders? I called it wrong, and I blame me for not agreeing? He hugged her skinny body and patted her comfortingly.

"I don't like it." The queen said, "Everyone else calls you sir, only I can call you brother, I don't like to be like everyone else." ”

Dislike.

What I want is different, I want to be unique, I don't want to be like others.

Chengyin knew her thoughts, but he could only pretend not to know, he was not a good candidate to become a husband for her.

"Okay, in front of others, you need to maintain the status of the queen, and there is no place for others, it's all up to you, okay?"

"Hmm." She burst into tears and laughed, rubbing in his arms, "Brother Chengyin, what are you doing?" ”

“…… This is Cistanche, the court of the Central Plains, I like this kind of tribute very much, I will collect some more for you, you can send a messenger to make offerings, ask for the edict, so that the Great Khan in the west can not bully you from time to time. Chengyin bent down and kissed her forehead, motioning for her to go away.

With her hands behind her back, the queen bent down to watch him dig out a cistanche plant, and asked curiously, "Why does the emperor of the Celestial Empire like this?" ”

"Because the emperor of the Celestial Empire has a lot of women......" Cheng Yin replied casually.

"Huh? A lot of women? Women are going to eat this? ”

Cheng Yin looked at her, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled playfully, "This cistanche is a precious Chinese medicinal material." Sweet in taste, warm in nature, it has the effects of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang, filling the essence and replenishing the marrow, nourishing the blood and moistening the dryness, and prolonging the life of the pleasant color. ”

He paused, and in the tone of a doctor, he added seriously: "Cistanche can also be used for both medicine and food, long-term consumption can increase physical strength, enhance endurance and resist fatigue, and at the same time can enhance the ability to have sex and fertility...... Do you still want to listen? ”

The queen blushed and pouted, "...... Brother Chengyin, you bully people. ”

Cheng Yin laughed and said, "Who told you so many questions." ”

He dug out the cistanche, cut off a piece of clothing and tied it up, clapped his hands and said, "This plant is in good condition, it is better to leave it to your future husband." ”

The queen tilted her head and said with a smile: "Brother Chengyin, do you want to use it?" Do you want a lot of women too? ”

Cheng Yin frowned slightly.

"My future husband is you, I don't want anyone else." As she spoke, her eyes shining behind the white veil.

Cheng Yin felt a little dizzy, the flush on the queen's face, the dark pupils behind the white veil, and the pursed lips were all so beautiful in his eyes.

Strong affection.

The young queen pursed her lips a little uneasily, holding her little hands behind her back, and raised her eyes to look at Chengyin.

Cheng Yin smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "I am not a good couple, and your people will not allow their queen to have an alien husband, let alone ......"

What's more?

Besides, I'm not as good as you think, silly girl.

Hearing that this was not a refusal, the light in the Queen's eyes dimmed, and her head drooped.

"I know...... You don't like me, I heard that the women of the Central Plains are plump and beautiful, with white skin like fat, and they are covered in silk and gorgeous clothes...... I'm not that beautiful, and I'm not as rich as the Central Plains, so you don't like me, do you? ”

As he spoke, his nose was sore, and tears overflowed from the white veil that had never dried.

The man sighed and stroked her cheek, "Silly girl, this has nothing to do with whether it is beautiful or not, the Central Plains has a saying, if it is not my race, its heart must be different, how can your people believe that I am a foreigner?" They respect me, but they don't want the royal blood to become impure, it's your responsibility...... Well, stop crying. ”

Not a good couple.

This is what I mean from the heart.

Cheng Yin sighed secretly in his heart.

“…… Then I won't be a queen anymore. ”

"Well, yes, when you give birth to an heir, when the heir grows up, maybe your people will agree...... Now that you are the only bloodline, if you don't think about it, no one else will agree. Cheng Yin pinched her sleeve and wiped away her tears.

"How long will it take?"

"Even if you have a baby next year, when the child grows to your age, there will be fourteen or fifteen years...... What's wrong? Want to have a baby? ”

The queen blushed and muttered quietly, "Have you been born to you?" Then I'll give birth to ......."

Speaking of which, the problem came back again, Chengyin smiled and sighed, took her hand and said, "Let's go, the sun is going down, it's time to go back to the palace." ”

The two walked down the hill hand in hand, handed the cistanche to the guards to carry, and the two whispered as they walked towards the stone steps of the palace.

Xu Nianran looked at these pictures and smiled unconsciously, how similar is it?

But his own big demon king is not as good as Chengyin, he is so gentle and gentle.

The Great Demon King is very fierce and bad, and it hurts people and makes people almost drown in his arms.

……

"At present, there are 1,328 households, with a population of more than 5,900, more than 10,000 camels, donkeys, mules, horses, and sheep, and about 1,500 young and middle-aged men who can be armed." The national teacher reported to the queen sitting on the throne, "Do you think it is better to use more people to greet the envoy?" ”

“…… I don't want to meet them, these people want to rob us of our wealth, and if it weren't for the fact that we have a barrier and can't get in without the king's permission, they would have sent troops a long time ago! The queen said displeased.

"But if we don't make friends with them, and they send troops to attack our caravans on the periphery, then we will not be able to trade with the outside world, and we will perish." The national teacher reminded, "Since our tribe migrated here, it has always been like this, offering to them in exchange for a safe living environment. ”

“…… I know. The queen pouted, looking unwilling.

Cheng Yin on the side opened his mouth and asked, "Has the messenger arrived at the outpost?" ”

"The deputy envoy has been staying at the outpost for more than ten days, and today the scout came to report again, saying that the envoy will arrive in two days." The national teacher replied with a frown.

"Hmph...... What a big shelf. Cheng Yin smiled and shook his head, "It's just a messenger, we have to prepare in advance." ”

The national teacher also felt breathless, frowned and said: "It is said that the people who came this time are all the personal entourage of the Great Khan of the West, all of them are wise men and warriors, they say they are friends, but in fact, they are here to show their strength, I hope we will become a subject country and pay tribute honestly." ”

"We give them a lot of tribute every year, and if there is more, the lives of the subjects will be affected. Cheng Yin reminded.

“…… It's up to you to say that. The national teacher said unhappily, and was glanced at by the queen complainingly.

How can you talk to Mr. Chengyin like this!

Cheng Yin didn't mind, he was six or seven years older than the twenty-year-old national teacher, and he just let him go as if he were a younger brother.

"I'm now sorting out the tribute and exchanging it for a feud from the Tang Emperor, so that I can get the protection of the trade route, at least the eastern route from here to Yumen Pass will not be harassed...... Even if the trade route in the west is broken, there is no need to worry about the problem of living materials. Cheng Yin said.

"So now you have to deal with the Great Khan of the West, and you can't do evil, right? I'm not a kid anymore, you don't have to explain so much to me. The national teacher replied angrily, "You can teach this stupid monarch more, she doesn't understand anything, she is still a child's temper." ”

"You, you, bold!" The queen is angry, even if it's a bamboo horse, you can't call me stupid!
