Xia Yuan gently closed the door, and there were several palace maids holding dragon robes standing side by side outside the door, and as soon as he handed the bowl to the side, a palace maid immediately stepped forward and took the bowl in his hand. The other palace maids carefully unfolded their dragon robes and put them on Xia Yuan's body, and Xia Yuan also cooperated with her hands and asked them to tie their clothes tightly.

"Well, let's all go down." Xia Yuan patted the dust that didn't exist on his clothes, waved his hand at the palace maids, and then walked in the direction of the imperial study.

After the palace maids finished saluting Xia Yuan, they walked in the opposite direction to Xia Yuan and left in small steps.

Xia Yuan rarely walked alone in the corridor, and on the side was a small pond that looked sparkling because of the sunlight, which seemed to be much smaller than he remembered. Before he reached the imperial study, he had already seen Qin Han waiting at the door from a distance.

"Your Majesty." Qin Han also noticed Xia Yuan who was walking this way, and hurriedly touched the ground with one knee and saluted towards Xia Yuan.

"Brother Qin? Why are you here so early? Hurry up. Xia Yuan walked quickly in front of Qin Han and helped him up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Qin Han got up, he stood by Xia Yuan's side and welcomed him into the imperial study, while he stood near the door, looking at Xia Yuan. It's just that after a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something again, and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, it's already after noon, and it's not early." ”

Xia Yuan almost sprayed the tea he had just drunk on the fold in front of him, the point was not here at all, okay?

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Your Majesty! What's wrong with you? Do you want me to call the Imperial Doctor? ”

"Ahem......" Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Qin Han and signaled that he didn't have to worry about himself, and his other hand was lightly clenched into a fist, constantly patting his chest, trying to let himself take this breath, "I'm fine, I'm just choking on this tea." ”

"It's fine if you're okay." Seeing that Xia Yuan gradually calmed down, Qin Han returned to his previous position.

"By the way, you came to me at this time, is there something wrong?" Xia Yuan casually opened a book of notebooks and picked up his pen to read it.

"Hmm...... Your Majesty, the Mandarin Duck girl doesn't seem to be in a particularly good mood at night these days, and she will always suddenly open her eyes and start calling your name, and then start crying, you ...... Really don't plan to see her? Qin Han didn't know what kind of statement to use to mention Mandarin Duck in front of Xia Yuan, he always had a faint feeling that Xia Yuan didn't really want to mention Mandarin Duck Girl, but when Xia Yuan took the initiative to mention Mandarin Duck a few days ago, he actually wanted to send himself to the General's Mansion, although he said that he wanted to protect Mandarin Duck, but in fact, Qin Han knew that Xia Yuan hoped that he could monitor her, and he was afraid that she would do something to hurt Wen Mu.

"The mandarin duck matter will be dealt with after a while, you don't have to worry, but before that, you continue to stare at night, as long as she doesn't do anything too impulsive, don't worry about her first." Xia Yuan said very casually, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

"Yes."

There was a moment of silence between the two.

After a while, Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled at Qin Han after seeing that Qin Han had no intention of continuing to speak. "You've been waiting for me for so long, just to talk about this inconsequential matter?"

After Xia Yuan opened his mouth, Qin Han remembered why he had come to the imperial study to wait for Xia Yuan in the first place.

"No, there is also something about the investigation in the South China Sea some time ago, after that return, Your Majesty asked me to report to you after finishing your wedding. The current situation in the South China Sea is just like what Commander Liu said, pirates are rampant, and the fishermen who disturb them are not able to make a living, as long as it is a passing cargo ship, or a caravan ship, without exception, they have all been looted, and it is very strange that the people on board are also unable to escape, and they are all arrested, leaving only an empty ship, either sunk, or become a ghost ship, floating on the sea. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Commander Liu told me that he was only pirates, but he didn't expect them to go so far? ”

"Besides, there were only a few hundred sailors originally stationed in the South China Sea, which was not enough for half of the number of pirates, and they were enough to calm down the pirates who wanted to board the dock, not to mention that there were many lurking on the sea, and the sea was full of fog, and there was no way to know where they came from, and this group of pirates was very demonic, I don't know where they learned the martial arts, it was very strange, and a few people could overwhelm the navy."

"And such a thing?"

"That's right, plus the soldiers of the Central Plains are not good at water, and the pirates are familiar with the terrain of the South China Sea, if we start a war rashly, I am afraid that it will do all kinds of harm and no benefit, so we can only watch out for them for the time being."

"Oh? I was a little curious about their martial arts, and after this year, I personally led my troops south to meet these people. Xia Yuan was suddenly a little interested by Qin Han.

"Your Majesty, if you can, I hope you can bring Sect Master Lin with you, I heard that he has been studying various martial arts all these years, what do you think he will know about this matter?"

Xia Yuan put down the pen in his hand, propped his head, knocked on the table with his hand, pondered for a while, and said, "Hmm...... After that year, let him come to the palace to see me. ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." Qin Han fumbled in his arms, took out a letter, and handed it to Xia Yuan's desk, "Your Majesty, there is another letter from the northwest here." ”

"Lord Rong's letter?"

"Exactly."

Xia Yuan picked up the envelope on the table, and it was the seal of the Northwest Palace. He opened the envelope, and on a large piece of paper, there were only four big words written on it: "I'm not happy!" ”

"Hahaha, this really has the style of Rong Nanfeng." Xia Yuan smiled and crumpled the letter paper in his hand into a ball, and threw it into the charcoal basin that was still burning on the side along with the envelope.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for Prince Rong for something?" Qin Han was a little curious, what was the content of this letter that could make Xia Yuan burn it so casually.

"It's not an important thing, it's just that I want Senior Hua to come to the palace to be my imperial doctor." Xia Yuan picked up the pen again and began to review the folds in front of him again.

Some of them don't quite remember what they just saw......

"If you want to let the Flower God Doctor enter the palace, it's just a matter of an order, why do you have to ask Prince Rong so troublesomely?"

Xia Yuan seemed to remember something funny, and smiled brightly at Qin Han: "Secret." ”

Qin Han saw that Xia Yuan was unwilling to tell him, so he didn't continue to ask, the emperor must have his own reasons for doing this.

He had to swallow his curiosity into his stomach: "Then Your Majesty, I'll retreat first." ”

"Well, go ahead."

The door was gently slammed shut, and silence returned to the study.
