Chapter Fifty-Eight: Driving Nanping
Li Yunqing shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and said, "I'm going to go for a walk, but I have to go back to the palace first." This time, we are going to Nanping to wander around, and we will go for a walk with great fanfare. He had promised Ruan Qingrou before that he was going to inspect Nanping, so naturally he had to talk and count.
Of the more than ten vassal states under Daqian, Li Yunqing has never been there. Don't talk about him, even Emperor Taizongren has never been there. As for Emperor Taizu Gao, he went down to inspect several times during the Kaihuang period, and returned to the palace after less than half of his departure. As for this Nanping country, even Emperor Taizu Gao has never been there. It is said that Nanping is only a small country with a territory of 2,000 miles, and there are only two seasons of spring and summer all year round, and there is no winter. Recalling the first time Ruan Qingrou saw the scene when it snowed, Li Yunqing still showed a doting smile now. At that time, he was so happy that he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, and said that it was sugar and delicious.
Zhao Bingyu said coquettishly: "My husband is really fond of Sister Ruan, I have been on the throne for so many years, and I haven't seen you go down to inspect that feudal country." "The reason why Li Yunqing didn't go down to inspect those vassal countries was that he didn't think it was necessary, and second, he didn't have the kung fu.
In the nine years since he ascended the throne, he has always had things to deal with, and there have been three or four large and small wars with foreign countries alone, and the country is not very peaceful. It is only now that the world has completely settled down, and since Ruan Siping has this wish, he, as a son-in-law, naturally can't help but give face to his father-in-law. Besides, there is another meaning for his visit to Nanping Kingdom this time, if the dragon has been staying in the Dragon Palace, those small fish and shrimp inside and outside the Dragon Palace will have any thoughts that should not be there, or think that the dragon is napping, and make some small moves in private.
Go out for a walk, and those small countries below will definitely put away their thoughts that they shouldn't have, this is his deep intention. Of course, making Ruan Qingrou happy is also one of the main reasons. These women around her haven't been home for a long time, and if they can go back, they should let others go back to visit relatives. Originally, he also planned to let Ruan Qingrou go back to save his relatives on his own in two years, and now he can accompany him.
On this day, Li Yunqing went down to Fengming Palace to accompany the women to dinner, and at the dinner table, he told Ruan Qingrou the news that he was going to drive to inspect Nanping Kingdom, but Ruan Qingrou was stunned for a long time. After a while, she covered her mouth and cried, she originally thought that Li Yunqing was just talking so casually, after all, she couldn't know how busy the emperor was as a big cadre. Unexpectedly, Li Yunqing really wanted to go.
Seeing that Ruan got up softly and was about to kneel, Li Yunqing hurriedly stretched out his hand to drag the beauty, and said softly: "What is this for?" ”
"The concubine is just a monarch of a small country in Nanping, and she should be grateful for your favor and favor from the emperor!"
Li Yunqing's brows couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and he said with some displeasure: "It's been so many years, how can you still look down on yourself so much?" On the first day I canonized you, I told you that if you are my woman, you are the noblest woman in the world, and you are the person in my heart! Whether it's you or other harem concubines, there is no distinction between high and low in my heart. Promise me not to say anything like this again, or I'll really get angry, you know? "Spoil a woman like this.
Ruan Qingrou cried even more when she heard this, and she couldn't get up when she lay in Li Yunqing's arms. Li Yunqing smiled, holding the beauty and drinking and eating food. At the dinner table, Li Yunqing said that he wanted to take Zhao Bingyan there, but Zhao Bingyan did not agree, saying that he wanted to take good care of the children at home. The left and right are just going to the subject countries of the lower head, and she has nothing to worry about here.
In the end, Li Yunqing decided to take Yang Jin Piaoyun, Glutinous and Elegant, and Donghuang Yufei to go, and the rest of the people stayed in the palace. It is said that he should take Chun Yu Lanyue with him this time, but this little girl has to stay with Zhao Bingyan to learn the things of her daughter's family.
Early one morning in April, a huge procession came out of Canglongmen. The hundred-man cavalry at the front arrived, and a hundred Jin Wuwei rode on top of a sturdy black horse, indescribably heroic. The hundred-man cavalry was followed by the five-hundred-man Jin Wuwei, each armed with a golden spear, carrying a strong bow and crossbow, and even a group of people carrying small cannons. After that, there were the palace maids carrying the palace lamps, and the eunuchs who waited. In the center is a huge dragon carving, carved on the dragon carved phoenix is indescribably gorgeous. After the dragon, there were five hundred Jin Wuwei, and after that, there were three hundred silver guards. This is already the highest lineup, extremely luxurious.
Li Yunqing sat in the dragon bowl, surrounded by four beauties. Fu Yu Qingya sat on Li Yunqing's left, and Ruan Qinggently sat on Li Yunqing's right. Yang Jin Piaoyun sat beside her sister, and Donghuang Yufei sat on Ruan's side gently. I only heard Fu Yu Qingya ask Ruan softly: "Sister, I heard that there is no winter in your hometown, only summer and spring, is this true?" ”
Ruan smiled softly and said coquettishly: "Naturally, it's true, Nanping Country is located in the southern zone, and I don't want to have a clear season like Daqian." It doesn't snow, but there are two months of rainy season in the hottest season. However, the fruits of Nanping are very sweet, and when you get to the local sisters, you must eat more of our fruits to ensure that you like it. ”
Li Yunqing saw Ruan Qingrou and happy, and his heart was also very comfortable, and he quipped: "When you reach the boundary of Nanping, you will become the host, and everything will naturally be arranged by you at that time, and we will just eat, drink and have fun." Love concubine, you must eat, drink and entertain. ”
Ruan Qingrou smiled sweetly when she heard this, and said coquettishly: "Didn't the emperor tease me?" This Nanping country is said to be the territory of the great Qian, you went to say that it was the concubine of the concubine society, in fact, it was also to inspect the internal affairs of the country, but don't want to be lazy. ”
Li Yunqing smiled even more happily when she heard this, pinched Ruan's soft face and said dotingly: "Oh, this little girl, her mouth is getting more and more clever." Let me taste how sweet this mouth is, is it so sweet after smearing honey? ”
Li Yunqing was originally joking, but Ruan Qingqing really kissed him when she heard this. He was naturally very cooperative, wiped his mouth after a long kiss, and sighed: "Well, it's good, it's really sweet, where did you buy this honey for Aifei?" ”
Ruan gently glanced at Li Yunqing when she heard this, and said coquettishly: "Doesn't the emperor know that the concubines make honey?" ”
On this day, Ruan Siping, the lord of Nanping, also received a letter from Ruan Qingrou. He was overjoyed when he opened the letter and read its contents, and said to a few close ministers around him: "Great, really good! A letter came softly, and the letter said that the emperor would come to Nanping to inspect! Hahaha...... As long as the emperor arrives, the internal and external troubles of my Nanping Kingdom can be solved, and the lonely king is lucky! ”
I only heard Ruan Sanhe, the waiter of the Nanping National Rite Department, a little dazed: "Dare to ask the lord of the country, the emperor is coming, what kind of way will I use in Nanping to greet him?" The emperor of the kingdom has never been to inspect the country, and my country has no experience in this area. ”
Ruan Siping pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Naturally, I will greet the Holy Driver with the highest etiquette and serve the Great Emperor as best I can." I, Nanping, have been able to have smooth weather over the years, relying on the support of the emperor. ”
