Chapter 37: Two Conditions (Part II)
"Thank you, Emperor!" Before those old imperial historians had time to stop them, Qin Yifan was already grateful. Even if you want to stop it, it's already done at the moment, and it's too late. Just the first time, everyone was a little confused, I don't know if I should stop it, and now it's like this again, no matter what, I can't let the emperor allow such a reward. This is also the responsibility of being a courtier.
Seeing the posture of those imperial histories, the emperor knew what they were going to do. However, to him, these two so-called promises and the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant he gave Qin Yifan before were not even dust at all. If I were to come in person, wouldn't it be better than two verbal promises? Would Qin Yifan care about these two verbal rewards?
Sure enough, when the imperial historians were preparing to attend the impeachment at the banquet next, Qin Yifan had already thanked him again: "Thank you, Your Majesty." Just now, the grass people have already made two requests, the emperor is all gracious, and the grass people thank the emperor for his grace!"
Everyone was stunned, when did Qin Yifan make a request? The understanding person hurriedly thought about it, and then remembered that Qin Yifan had indeed asked the emperor before dismantling the cow, and the emperor nodded his head at that time. The other is that Qin Yifan asked everyone to eat raw meat slices while they were hot, and the emperor also ate them. In this way, Qin Yifan actually regarded these two requests as the emperor's reward for himself!
At this moment, not only were the imperial historians speechless, but even the others were dumbfounded. I've seen people who regard fame, fortune, wealth and wealth as nothing, but I've never seen anything like this. The emperor's promise, in front of so many ministers, was used by him so simply?
It's impossible, this person doesn't look like the kind of person who doesn't understand anything? Although he is honest, he is not a fool, how can he waste the opportunity of the emperor's daughter to make a promise? But the person in front of him did it so easily, and he did not drag his feet at all, he was not nostalgic at all, and he might not be able to do so chic if he was himself.
In any case, in this way, the emperor's promise was not broken, but the imperial historians also fulfilled the emperor's mood so easily, and also took care of the dignity of the court, although it was a little unreasonable, but compared with Qin Yifan's generous abandonment, it was already negligible. In short, everyone up and down can still accept such a result.
The emperor looked at Qin Yifan meaningfully, and this time he didn't say anything, and acquiesced to Qin Yifan's resignation. The monarch and the ministers seemed to have a wordless tacit understanding.
Taking advantage of the good mood, the emperor announced that the banquet would continue. The envoys have been defeated several times in a row, and they no longer have the arrogance they had before, and they didn't dare to do anything, but they just let the Celestial Empire lose face, but they didn't expect this goal to be achieved. Qin Yifan came out halfway, disrupting their plan, and in desperation, he could only accept this fact and obediently sit back in place.
It is rare that the monarch and the ministers are so complete, and everyone is so happy, and today's banquet is not drunk and does not return. The emperor was in high spirits, and when the Celestial Empire raised face, no one would jump out and sing the opposite, and the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.
The singing and dancing in the palace were also displayed in front of everyone without hesitation, which was a rare grace of the emperor, and everyone was drunk and fascinated. Except for today, there are not many opportunities to see it in the future.
The generals were more bold, and since the emperor also said that they were happy, everyone was very happy with each other's persuasion. Although the civil officials are elegant, when they are in a good mood, some people are in high spirits and write poems on the spot, which adds to the elegance.
Only Qin Yifan and Long Commander were here, and no one came, I don't know what the reason was. But he didn't care, and the two of them had a very tacit understanding with the dragon commander and drank slowly in a small cup, and they were also very comfortable.
Qin Xiaoling's desire to see the excitement was satisfied by the machine, and she couldn't see any expression on her face, but sometimes her movements were very much like a teenage girl who didn't know anything, and she looked very happy. But if you think about it carefully, when she was made into a yin corpse and her soul was sealed in her body, she was only eighteen years old, and she was originally a little girl who had not grown up and had never seen the world.
Lin Qiulu didn't drink alcohol, as a guard, she shouldn't drink. Among the dragon and phoenix guards, except for the dragon commander, the others did not drink. Here the emperor and his ministers are all there, and a thousand-year-old yin corpse around him is very happy, and everyone is very vigilant, for fear that something uncontrollable will happen. It's a pity that Qin Xiaoling came in to see the excitement because of the emperor's grace, and not long ago, she greatly impressed the barbarians, and she can be regarded as a meritorious hero, so there is no reason to drive it away.
In order to avoid suspicion, the general did not go to Qin Yifan's side, but he has always been by the emperor's side, and I don't know if he said good things to Qin Yifan.
At this banquet, the monarchs and ministers were very happy, only a few envoys of the Fan clan were a little sullen, but their emotions had long been ignored by everyone. The skills are not as good as others, and they have lost militarily, so what is the reason to be happy?
The prosperity was exhausted, but the dragon commander let Qin Yifan stay. Not long ago, the emperor had a decree to let Qin Yifan, Lin Qiulu and Qin Xiaoling stay alone. Seeing that they were sitting still, there was nothing particularly strange when the ministers left. Qin Yifan said that there is no specific reward for making great achievements, and he can be a man, and the emperor's reward will definitely not be less, but it is not the kind of unsuitable daughter and promise before. Rewarding a petty official, or rewarding a bunch of treasures and jades for women and gold silks, everyone can accept it.
The people were almost gone, leaving only some of the attendants to clean up the tragedy, but the emperor ordered someone to take Qin Yifan and the three of them to the imperial study.
"Hahaha! It's really fun today!" As soon as I entered the imperial study, I heard some unbridled laughter from the emperor, obviously in a very happy mood, and wantonly vented in a place where there was no one else.
Seeing Qin Yifan and the three of them coming in accompanied by Commander Long, the emperor stopped smiling: "Qin Qing, you came over, you haven't seen each other for a few years, right?"
"It's been four or five years, Your Majesty. "Somehow, when there are no outsiders, Qin Yifan doesn't respect the emperor like when there are so many people outside. The tone of his voice was so casual that the head of the inner court who was waiting by the emperor's side and the dragon commander who accompanied Qin Yifan in changed their faces.
"Bold!" The head of the inner court shouted, and was about to continue to scold Qin Yifan, but was stopped by the emperor with a slight wave of his hand: "It's okay! ”
The emperor, who was already sitting on the dragon throne, even got up and walked to the door of the imperial study. The head of the inner court and the dragon commander were stunned for a while, what kind of person is this Qin Yifan, is there such a casual person with the emperor? The emperor actually stood up to greet him.
"Who is this?" Looking at Qin Xiaoling, the emperor's interest was very great. During the banquet, he could only watch from a distance, but now he realized that Qin Xiaoling was actually such a petite person: "Are you interested in being my guard?" may feel that Qin Xiaoling is infinitely powerful, and she is also a woman, suitable for certain occasions, so she began to dig Qin Yifan's corner in person.
Qin Yifan had already instructed Qin Xiaoling not to act out of the ordinary no matter what she heard or saw. Qin Xiaoling was very obedient, stood firmly in place, and did not reply, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"Absolutely not!" "The first thing that happened was actually the dragon commander, he now knows Qin Xiaoling's true identity, as the commander in charge of the dragon and phoenix guard, for the emperor's safety, of course he has the responsibility to remind the emperor.
"Oh?" The emperor was stunned, seeing that Commander Long was so nervous, thinking about the previous request that Qin Yifan wanted to bring a woman outside the palace to watch the excitement, there were not many women who could make him so attentive, and he immediately understood: "I see, I am a little abrupt." It's just that I couldn't help but look at Qin Xiaoling, wanting to see what this woman who made Qin Yifan a little tempted looked like. However, Qin Xiaoling's whole body was covered with black veil, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
No one dared to tell the emperor Qin Xiaoling's true identity, otherwise he would definitely be interested in cultivating. Even the secret of Long Fengwei, in the eyes of the emperor, is just the Baolong clan, a mysterious sect, but it has nothing to do with cultivation. I am afraid that the emperor will have to forcibly practice the techniques he wants to practice, and he will commit a taboo for cultivators!
"I'm very happy that you're here this time. The emperor returned to the edge of the imperial case and sat down, and Qin Yifan also followed. Lin Qiulu and Qin Xiaoling, as well as the head of the inner court and the dragon commander, were all waiting at the door and did not step forward.
"I love what you gave me. Touching the seal and beads, the emperor was very happy: "However, what is this bead, why does it feel a little cold to the touch?"
"This is the so-called dust-sheltering night pearl, surrounded by a square circle, the dust is not clean. At night, it glows brighter than a full moon night, enough to read and write. In addition, this thing also has a benefit, within the zhang, it is cool and comfortable, and there is no trouble with mosquito bites. Qin Yifan transferred the words that Lin Qiulu said to Qin Yifan almost word for word when he introduced him to the emperor: "It's not of much use, just try to make the emperor more comfortable." ”
"Oh?" I knew that it was a good thing, and Qin Yifan wouldn't take out ordinary things, but I didn't expect it to have such benefits. No wonder I just touched the coolness when I feasted before, it turned out that this was the pearl of the night. To be honest, there are also in the Night Pearl Palace, but it also has the effect of avoiding dust and insects, but it is unique. With this, Xia Yue can indeed be much more comfortable.
"Well, you've got it. The emperor was also not polite to Qin Yifan: "However, the conditions I promised you can't be finished with your two simple things." I still have two requests for you, and whenever you think of them, you can go to my side and ask for them. ”
Knowing that this was the result, Qin Yifan was not surprised. However, there happened to be one thing that needed the emperor's help right now, Qin Yifan was not polite at all, and immediately mentioned it: "Your Majesty, I have encountered some problems in martial arts practice, and I want to ask the first master of the Great Inner for advice, I don't know if it is convenient or not?"
