Chapter 626: Su Yuanren, Looking for Trouble
ce. Her mother didn't agree to it either. I heard even Madam Ye was against it. 。To my surprise, the mistress of the night hadn't been able to overpower her own mother-in-law. Her mother hadn't even b...Quingcheng stood up and personally took the two jars of wine that had just been brought to the table. Then he said, “It’s easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple! The Suyuan Kingdom is short on supplies, and even the royal family can only drink such poor-quality wine. Therefore, I absolutely cannot show off that Beiqi has good wine by putting this top-shelf wine on the table for Lou Han to drink
After all, this kind of wine is hard to find. If you drink this and then go back to drinking your Suyuan's wine, I'm afraid it won't even be as good as horse urine. 。So let's switch to a more ordinary type of wine. This will give Lou Han some time to adjust, and it'll prevent him from disliking his country even more after drinking it. 。" Quan Qingcheng ordered Wu Fei: 'Go get the lowest grade of wine from the palace to entertain Prince Su Yuan.' 。Wu Fei stifled a laugh and walked away. After a while, he came back carrying two broken clay pots and filled them up one by one. 。"Lou Han, you try this. This is already the worst wine that our Northern Qi Palace can offer. Have a sip, and see if it makes you feel any better." 。"Finished, he himself picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then sighed, "Alas, even the worst wine is far better than Su Yuan's." 。This matter you've caused, I have to admit, it weighs heavily on my mind. I never expected Suyuan people to live such lives, without even good wine! What joy is there in that Can we really expect the entire nation to rely on wax-dye fabrics for their existence Even if wax-dye was excellent, it can't compare to Northern Qi's silk! Could clothing made of wax-dye fabric ever be as comfortable as silk
Lou Qinghan kept reminding herself in her heart to stay calm, to remain composed, and not stoop to the level of the emperor of Northern Qi. 。But at the same time, it also gave rise to more dissatisfaction with the regency. He believed that Quan Ji had deceived him, and even that the fact that the emperor was previously mute might be a lie as well. 。How could someone who has been mute for over a decade suddenly become so articulate
He let out a soft hum, raising his wine cup, "Human life is finite. I, Su Yuan, have never been fond of such extravagance. Naturally, I am not as knowledgeable about these matters as the people of Beizhi." 。Wang believes that instead of wasting life on these winemaking and weaving pursuits, it would be better to ponder how to break the shackles of Earth and allow humanity's lifespan to be extended for the better. 。"Is that so, Your Majesty"
"Indeed!" Quan Qingcheng nodded immediately, "I thought the same thing too." 。But our situation is still different from yours, because we have the Emperor seated here. So, researching human lifespans and engaging in activities like brewing and weaving that enhance life's enjoyment are completely non-conflicting pursuits. 。My elder sister once said, "Let the experts do their jobs. The Northern Qi has many talented people; let them each fulfill their respective roles." 。"
Lou Qinghan reminded himself again to remain calm, he couldn't act like this emperor. He looked towards the Regent King, the message in his eyes was very clear, meaning he was full and could suggest ending the meal, allowing him to rest as well >>> 。The Regent King didn't seem to notice either, or maybe he just pretended not to understand. He ignored the look and muttered to himself, "Everyone should do their own job. Suyuan Kingdom isn't short of capable people" 。This king has heard that the current high priest of your country, though not as powerful as an emperor who can command the wind and rain, is a master of divination. He is said to surpass even our Northern Qi's diviner in skill. I wonder if this is true or not. 。My Imperial Office, overseen by the esteemed Emperor himself, has always held itself in high regard and enjoys considerable backing from the imperial court. If Su Yuan were to gain the upper hand this time, it would undoubtedly tarnish our reputation. 。"Hearing this, Quan Qingcheng rolled his eyes and glanced at his third brother, Quan Qingyun. Quan Qingyun didn't say anything, just turned his gaze to Su Yuan, the prince of the Lou family." 。Then, seeing Lord Qinghan laugh even more mischievously, Lou said to the Regent, "I've long heard that Qi’s Imperial Astrologer is renowned for his ability to predict anything. My Suyuan Country naturally cannot compare to a great nation like Qi, but over these years, with the blessings of the Desert God and the insights gained by our High Priest, I have confidence to challenge Qi's Imperial Astrologer." 。Therefore, when the king arrived in Lin'an this time, he also brought the high priest with him, so that Your Majesty could see him. 。"That's the one wearing the silver dress, right" Lóu Qīnghán ground his teeth. A light breeze came along, blowing his white hair about him as he said, "The Emperor calls her màn. The High Priestess is a peculiar person. If you call her 'Auntie' in front of her, she'll probably flip out." 。"Oh, when Priest Suyuan gets angry, it's not a joke. " 。"The Regent continued the conversation, then said to Quan Qingcheng, “Your Majesty is still young and doesn't know about Su Yuan's power. He's the most sacred existence in this world besides the Emperor. No one dares to provoke him." 。" Prince Qingcheng glanced at his third brother, implying: Really The Third Prince snorted, "Is the Regent trying to boost others' morale and diminish his own prestige No one else will dare provoke him. But isn't that premise excluding the Emperor" 。We, in Northern Qi, have an existence like the Emperor Venerable. Aren't you angry 。As they spoke, Ye Wenyan and the others happened to walk up. The leading palace maid said: "The two of you just need to follow this path for a few more steps to reach Yuhuagong. I am a palace maid who walks in the outer courtyard, so it's inconvenient for me to go in. I will only lead you here." 。"
Ye Wen nodded, "Thank you" 。He reached out and handed him a piece of silver. 。The palace maids immediately knelt down to show their gratitude, then bowed and retreated. 。Ye Si Jie looked and laughed, "I didn't expect that in just half a year you've gotten the hang of this whole rewarding the servants thing." 。That's good too, the King of Hell is easy to deal with, ghosts are hard. No matter how powerful you are, if your subordinates don't do their job well, there's nothing you can do about it. 。But speaking of which, what are we even doing here Where is Zhu'er" Ye Wenyan shook his head. "It’s not certain, but it’s highly possible she isn't there. Otherwise, Yan Huagong wouldn’t have rushed to send someone to General Manor to deliver the message." 。Being with the emperor isn't considered missing! So she probably isn't here. 。Then why are we here Shouldn't we be looking for Zhuier She's the maidservant you fancy, isn't she 。"Yes, I chose her. So you should learn from me, take a look at the maidservant I've chosen, and compare her to that XiChun you had before." 。"I'm ashamed to even say anything to you, what kind of eyesight do you have" Ye Sijie made her feel a bit embarrassed, so she pouted: "Alright, I know I was wrong, I'll change..." 。"
"Well" 。"Ye Wen nodded, and added, "The reason we came here is because the Prince Su Yuan is here. Since we've come, we should go meet him." 。 。“You’re right,” Night Four Sister said, clenching her fist. “Catch the thief first, catch the king! He’s captured our maid, so we’ll capture their prince. Even if it’s a life for a life, the prince’s life is worth more than the maid’s!”Night Wen Yan glared at her. “Do you think the life of Prince Su Yuan is worth more than my maid When I get back, I’ll give you a lesson!” She said this, and with a thought, she summoned the Knowledgeable Bird. 。The bird circled in the air for a bit, then swooped down to rub against Ye Wen's face: "Did the Spirit Master miss me again! After I went to greet the people returning from Ping County last time, the Spirit Master didn't reward me well at all" 。" Night Wenyan patted its head, "After this is done, I'll reward you!" "Hmm, okay! What are we doing this time Please tell me what the master wants!"Night Wenyan told it: "Within the palace grounds, search with all your might for Zhuier's whereabouts. Find her and protect her." 。"Yes, sir!" The bird turned in a circle, showering down sparkling gold light, and soon disappeared. 。Night Four Sister looked at him with astonishment: "Good fellow, a god is indeed a god, they even raise divine birds, and the divine birds can actually speak human language! If I had something like this before, I wouldn't have been so disadvantaged that I almost lost my life." 。Ye Wen had no intention of paying her any mind. He raised his steps and continued walking forward. As he walked, he heard the Regent King's voice ahead: "It is a terrible thing for Su Yuan, the priest, to become enraged, so I hope Your Majesty will think carefully before speaking, lest you bring disaster to Beiqi." 。 She almost laughed, what the heck was this A subject telling the emperor to think twice because he was afraid of angering foreigners Was it the Regent King who was too arrogant, or Su Yuan who was too arrogant, or were they both arrogant, and only Quan Qingcheng was a soft persimmon Ye Wenyan expressed dissatisfaction, so while walking towards Yuhua Pavilion, he said: "I heard someone was angry, so I came to take a look" 。As they walked into the hall, someone casually shoved a chair towards Quan Qingcheng's side and said, "If anyone gets angry, it wouldn't be good for our young emperor to be frightened. If anyone truly becomes enraged, we must immediately escort them out of the palace." 。She sat in the chair, crossing her legs, and her sister Ye Si on the side was also crossing her legs. 。Although they look different, their actions and mannerisms are exactly the same. They're like two parts of the same person. 。The Regent King frowned deeply, today the thorny words from Quan Qingcheng were enough to make him upset, how did Ye Wenyan come again tonight Why didn't anyone report Ye Wenyan's entry into the palace Those people he placed in the palace were now useless "Hmm Why don't you answer Qingcheng, who is angry Is it our own people The Third Prince"Quan Qingcheng immediately shook his head, "It's not one of us..." 。“ Oh, so that’s from out of town. 。"Ye Wen looked at Lou Qinghan with a puzzled expression. 'How dare an outsider be so angry in the Northern Qi Palace' she asked, her gaze sharp and pointed, her words carrying a clear lack of politeness." 。"Didn't the Emperor do something very bad to anger the outsiders"
Qian Qingcheng still shook his head. "No, I just called their priest 'Auntie'."
"Why would calling her 'auntie' make her angry How old is that priest" "About thirty!" "Then calling her 'auntie' is right! Wouldn't you call her grandma instead" She looked at Lou Qinghan again, "Su Yuan person, are you looking for trouble"here's also some activity in Xi Chun and Liu's courtyards. 。Xi Chun's courtyard was renamed "Ta Yu Yuan", and the plaque had already been hung up. Someone specially sent an invitation to Xiao Shu Bai...
