Chapter 262: Standing with Princess Celestia completely
The lake house has a stone bridge that connects to the land outside.
"Lord Qi, you go along the stone bridge, the master is already waiting for you in the room. The palace maid smiled.
Obviously, she will not follow Qi Tian to the house in the lake.
Qi Tian nodded, and walked along the stone bridge towards the house.
Before he entered the door, he stood at the door and smelled a wonderful fragrance that cleared people's hearts and lungs and shook people's hearts.
This fragrance is very special, noble with charm, cold and arrogant with enthusiasm, colliding with amazing feelings in contrast.
This wonderful fragrance was also present in the body of the palace maid.
Although Qi Tian didn't understand things like perfume, he also knew that it was by no means ordinary, and it was likely to be unique and specially blended.
He gently pushed open the door of the room, and a fragrant breeze blew in his face, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
I don't know why, Qi Tian likes this aroma very much, and feels very similar to his own taste.
"Isn't it rude to enter a woman's boudoir at will without knocking?" a woman's voice came from inside the door.
This woman's voice is very special, it is also very good, it is very recognizable, and her tone has a sense of confidence that she is high and in control.
Just like many people who have been in high positions for a long time, they are obviously very kind and leisurely when communicating with other people, but you can hear an unquestionable sense of authority in their words.
"Your Royal Highness the Celestial Princess, you are a very person, do you still care about these false courtesies?" Qi Tian said as he walked inside, without the slightest uninvited embarrassment.
He observed the layout of the room, the sandalwood table and chairs, the rosewood tea table, the tea table with a jar of water next to the tea table, and several ink paintings hanging on the walls on both sides...
And in the middle of the house hangs a huge golden silk curtain that divides the whole room in two.
The simple arrangement reveals nobility and elegance everywhere.
Qi Tian has been coming to the Xuangu Continent for a while, and things like sandalwood and purple rosewood are sold in two ways, which are very precious, and even the Xia family rarely uses sandalwood and rosewood furniture, and generally only the emperor's family will use these precious woods in large quantities.
Not only that, but every city, every month, according to the requirements of the imperial court, the ration of these precious timbers for the royal family to enjoy.
Qi Tian once heard the following ministers talk about this when he was the city lord in Yunhai City.
"You're fine. Celestia's voice came from behind the golden curtain.
Qi Tian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "You said that you will fight my hundred court battles?" haha, it's okay, don't worry, I have a good waist." ”
"After watching it for so long, what do you think?" Princess Celestia changed the subject.
Qi Tian turned his eyes to look at the golden curtain, and a looming figure was reflected from the curtain, although it was very hazy, it gave people a very mysterious feeling.
"Fierce. He spat out a word faintly.
"Oh?" said Celestia, curious, "why?"
"The painting of the house can best reflect the character of the owner of the house," Qi Tian walked to a landscape painting, "although this painting is a landscape, but it is not an ordinary landscape, the mountain is a majestic mountain, the river is a magnificent river, I think..."
His eyes flashed with a light, "In this landscape painting, the river is the river of 'Wanli River and Mountain', and the mountain is the mountain of 'Imperial Jiangshan'. ”
"Hehe," the eldest princess laughed, "this can only be said to be the person who paints the painting with a far-sighted vision and a heart for the world, but what about the fierceness you say?"
Qi Tian walked to the opposite painting again, "This painting is a tiger, and it is a downhill tiger, although I don't know how to paint, but I also know that all the tigers are painted, and the most difficult thing to paint is the downhill tiger." Because the tiger in the lower mountain is the most ferocious, the shape is good to draw, but the god is difficult to add. ”
He turned around and looked at the previous landscape painting, "This time the mountain tiger is staring at the mountains and rivers opposite, it seems that he is determined to win." ”
"Haha. The eldest princess suddenly laughed arrogantly, "Many people have commented that you are observant, you can control the overall situation by looking at a little, and you can understand people's hearts by looking at people's faces, which is true." ”
"There are also many people who comment that the eldest princess is ambitious, secretly strategic, unpredictable, and her every move has infinite mysteries. ”
"If you are a royal nobleman, maybe this palace will be willing to recruit you as a concubine. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'm your own brother?"
“…”
Qi Tian slowly walked to the golden curtain, stretched out his hand to lift the golden curtain, he wanted to see the true face of the eldest princess.
Although the eldest princess has always covered her face with a golden curtain, he always felt that this ambitious eldest princess should be a peerless beauty, without any basis, just by feeling.
Suddenly, the eldest princess changed her previous conversation and laughter, her voice became cold, and she said in an irrepressible tone: "This can't be done!"
Qi Tian paused, his eyes rolled slightly, he withdrew his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the purple rosewood tea table.
"The water tank next to the tea table is the morning dew, and the light blue porcelain jar is the floral tea, which is the taste you like. Princess Celestia motioned for him to make tea.
Qi Tian's eyes flashed, glanced at the figure behind the golden curtain, and said lightly: "Thank you." ”
Then, he began to make his own tea, and the two fell silent at the same time.
A pot of kung fu tea was brewed quickly.
Qi Tian sniffed slightly, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise.
A strange aroma of tea that is rich and not cheesy slowly wafts from the teapot.
He has never had a special preference for tea, and even if he drinks tea, he always drinks it with others.
He will drink a few cups of what others drink, and will not choose tea independently.
But this floral tea really made his eyes shine, and he even liked it immediately.
"How's that, do you like it?" said Celestia.
Qi Tian nodded, "It's very fragrant, it's very soft, I like it very much." ”
Who knows, as soon as his voice fell, his heart sank suddenly, and he looked at the figure behind the golden curtain with a little horror.
Just a cup of tea, he completely felt the power of the eldest princess.
Since he came to this world, the most contact is the Xia family and Liu'er, and after coming to the imperial capital, Li Jiaomei has been by his side every day.
They all know that they don't have any special hobbies for tea, that is, everyone knows that he is not interested in such things as tea.
But the eldest princess would say that she would like floral tea, and after trying it herself, she did like this floral tea!
What does this mean?
Princess Celestia has completely figured out his personality, preferences, and so on!
Even know him better than the Xia family sisters, Liu'er, and Li Jiaomei!
It's like a person who never eats rice, but likes to eat grilled sausages very much, so someone made him a "sausage fortified" Yangzhou fried rice, and this person immediately fell in love.
"What, scared?" Princess Celestia sensed Qi Tian's nervousness, and her words were slightly provocative.
Qi Tian didn't know what was going on, and his heart was suddenly a little chaotic, and he felt like he was stripped naked and standing in front of others.
"Celestia called me so secretly, could it be just to invite me to tea?" he knew that he had lost this game, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"I am very happy that you have succeeded in becoming the deputy director of the Procurement Bureau. Princess Celestia said lightly.
"Don't reward me for something?" Qi Tian said.
"Just the floral tea. ”
"This is a bit stingy, shouldn't there be millions of gold coins, dozens of beauties, and two or three mansions?"
"Are you missing these?"
"But it's just tea..."Although Qi Tian didn't finish speaking, he was very dissatisfied.
"Do you think this is an ordinary tea? This palace dares to say that even if you search the entire Xuangu Continent, you will never find this floral tea, and even the top tea masters will not be able to cultivate the same taste of floral tea. Princess Celestia said this with confidence.
"Huh, this is a special character?" Qi Tian thought that Floral Tea was just a variety of tea.
"Yes, there are not only top-quality teas in it, but also special natural flavors, and the combination of the two can become the floral tea you like to drink. "When Princess Celestia said 'you', her tone was particularly heavy.
"Just like your aromatherapy?"
"Yes, spices are the most attractive things in this continent, raw materials, collocation, proportions, before and after, are very particular, more than a point, less than a point is missing, everyone should have their own exclusive taste, just like your floral tea. ”
Qi Tian nodded, agreeing with the words of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess suddenly changed her tone, "Your time is running out, according to the news obtained by this palace, my father's physical condition is deteriorating, and I may have to find the first king one day." ”
Qi Tian said secretly, "Celestial Princess, you are also in a hurry?"
He picked up the teacup unhurriedly and drank it all, "This floral tea is really not ordinary, it is lubricated in the mouth, and the lips and teeth are fragrant." ’
"Do you think this palace has to be you to be the emperor?"
Qi Tian smiled slightly, "No, I think the eldest princess can completely seize the imperial throne by her own means." ”
He obviously deliberately provoked the eldest princess by saying this.
"Do you know the consequences if the crown prince becomes emperor?" asked the eldest princess.
"It's just that I returned to Yunhai City and continued to be my prince, but instead I helped the eldest princess hide from the throne, and I didn't do any good. Qi Tian was blunt.
"You're thinking too simply. The eldest princess said, "If the crown prince wins the throne, Qi Wuxi, Qi Zaiqing, including your second sister Qi Baishi, will be buried in the imperial capital, and Yunhai City, which you think is impregnable, will gradually collapse." ”
Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "Why?"
"If the crown prince takes the throne, he will slaughter those who have opposed him at all costs, and you will definitely be the first on the list of slaughters. ”
Qi Tian smiled, "Yunhai City now has nearly 20,000 northern male soldiers, and tens of thousands of city guards and Qi Gate guards. By the way, you already know my Qi Gate, right? Yunhai City is by no means something that can be easily attacked. ”
The eldest princess can conclude that he likes floral tea, and she must know all her information well, and there is no need to hide the affairs of Qimen.
"Hehe, sometimes I think you're smart, but sometimes I think you're stupid. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Although the strength of the Yanyang Empire is not strong, it has a lot of people, the four princesses have 200,000 troops, the Changyang Legion has 100,000, and there are more than 100,000 guards under Xie Jin. ”
"I believe that my legion will be able to defend against these generals, and don't forget that the number of troops is only part of the battle that determines the victory of the war, and the key is still by strategy.
I've done a demonstration outside the city before, and there were a lot of people watching it. Qi Tian smiled.
The four princesses have 200,000 troops, and they have not been beaten by tens of thousands of cavalry of the Lion Empire and lost their armor?
There is also Xie Jin's guards, the lion legion almost broke through the city with 150,000 people, and the legion of the Yanyang Empire is not weak at all, it is quite weak.
"What if you add the Lion Empire and the Canghai Empire to the west? You know, if you defeat the Lion Emperor Ah Nuhan twice, he will already hate you to the core. In order to deal with you, he even released the top ten tiger generals ranked first in the Emperor Cleret, An Lushan was just a poor worm in front of the Emperor.
And the Canghai Empire is good at water warfare, and it is said that it has developed a long-range weapon with great lethality with the people of the Western Regions, and your Qimen Mountain will not escape its doom. ”
Qi Tian was stunned, the eldest princess even knew about Qimen Mountain? Is there anything else he doesn't know about the eldest princess?
I seem to have heard An Lushan mention it before, and he is a very powerful figure, but wasn't he locked up because of his thirst for killing?
Extremely lethal long-range weapons? Could it be a thermal weapon?
"What, now you have reacted? Remember, your opponent is no longer the Li family, Liu Liheng, these little ants! You have fallen into the war at the imperial level, if the crown prince wins the throne, he will unite the Lion Empire to level your Yunhai City, and unite the Canghai Empire to level your Qimen Mountain, and you and your wife, sons, and daughters will die at their hands. ”
Qi Tian frowned, if the crown prince ascended the throne, he really didn't expect the situation of the Sunny Empire uniting the Lion Empire and the Cangyun Empire.
"But it will be different if the palace wins the throne, the descendants of the Qi family will become the pillars of the empire, and the Xia family will live a safe life and live in Yunhai City. Princess Celestia confidently assured.
It's just that now Qi Tian didn't notice the assurances of the eldest princess at all, and he was resorting everything in his mind.
I have to say that these words of the eldest princess really made Qi Tian's heart shake.
If this is the case, no matter how high Qimen Mountain is and how thick the city walls are, they will never be able to withstand the lethality of cannonballs.
And Emperor Kree, how powerful is he? This person ranks first among the top ten tiger generals, and he is by no means a wasted person.
Although he thinks that there is a certain exaggeration in Celestia's words, what if these key points are true?
He couldn't joke with the Xia sisters and his own children.
"One more thing. ”
"What?" Qi Tian frowned.
"The crown prince has already sent someone to invite Uncle Lei to come to the imperial capital. ”
"Who is he? Prince's father-in-law?"
"It's nominal, because the prince's concubine only recognized Uncle Lei Guo as his father, not his biological father and daughter. ”
"Is he strong?"
"An incomparably powerful person, it can be described as unfathomable, this palace knows that there is a martial arts master by your side, but he will not be Uncle Lei's opponent. ”
"Oh. Qi Tian was a little unimpressed, even the five elders of the Imperial Temple couldn't beat him, how could a national uncle be powerful.
