(1/2)
He looked at me and said word by word: "Liu Qinghan."
The wind blew across the vast grassland, and the leaves of the sycamore trees in the distance were rustling. I also heard the sound of smoke and dust rising, which suddenly filled this somewhat empty world.
I blinked and turned my head.
In just a moment, the wind stopped, the leaves calmed down, and the smoke and dust slowly fell. I just saw the heads that kept moving in front of me. Although there was no sound, they seemed so noisy.
He looked at me quietly for a long time and said, "Do you have nothing to say?"
“…”
"Do you don't know what to say or have nothing to say."
“…”
I was silent, not looking at him, but I also seemed to have not seen the scenery in front of me. I just stood up in an extremely empty feeling for a long time before slowly saying: "Is this different?"
“Of course there is.”
"But what Your Majesty wants to care about now is really what the folk girl thinks?"
"I do want to know what you think, because—" His voice became more and more hoarse: "I can't believe it now. Both of us have read it wrong."
I felt my heart tighter and my breathing was a little difficult, so I could only force myself to sit there, not speak or move, but I still felt an invisible pressure, which made me feel a little overwhelmed. Pei Yuanhao looked at me for a long time and said slowly: "Don't you ask me what happened?"
"The young lady is waiting for His Majesty to tell me."
He said coldly: "Sometimes ago, I asked someone to pass on a handwritten order to him."
“…”
It turned out that what was stopped on the official road was Liu Qinghan's reply.
I took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how he reported to His Majesty."
"You want to know?"
He turned his head and looked at me. I nodded gently. He seemed to laugh: "I want to know too."
"…!" My heart moved, and I turned my head to look at him, but saw his eyes slowly becoming gloomy and cold, and said, "But he didn't have a word, a word to report back to me."
“——?!”
What's the meaning?
When he met my astonished gaze, he looked at me: "He didn't read that handwriting, and he returned it to me intact."
…!
My heartbeat also missed.
When I looked at him like this, I felt that the aura on his body was a little unstable. Although he was not angry from beginning to end, nor did he show too much anger, I could understand that this was a heavy blow to him.
Because, even if there was a me in the middle, he still liked and valued it.
Even if he did not say anything about his value to Liu Qinghan over the years, I knew in my heart that although he was always on guard against us, and even pointed out that marriage was made me grit my teeth, but in the end, in terms of business, he was kind to Liu Qinghan.
Now, Liu Qinghan is far away in Xichuan and has obtained Yan Qinghan's assets. Even if he is not rich enough to rival a country, his financial power cannot be underestimated. Moreover, according to what Bai said before, he is still recruiting soldiers and horses. Pei Yuanhao's hand-in-hand mandate was naturally brought into this circle when he had a good relationship with Xichuan, and even formed a new alliance.
But unexpectedly, Liu Qinghan returned directly without even looking at his handwriting.
This is not just a heavy blow to him, an emperor, or even a tooth-breaking hatred.
No wonder when he arrived here, his face turned so ugly that it made everyone around him breathless.
I took a deep breath, subconsciously reached out and grabbed the table in front of me, grabbed a cup of tea, picked it up, but couldn't drink it into my mouth. The tea rippled on my hands, and I put down the cup again and again, using my palm to wipe the water from my clothes, and then wiped it over and over again, but the tea was not wiped clean, but quickly soaked my clothes, and my skin immediately felt a strange coolness and wetness.
Pei Yuanhao looked at me quietly. At this time, he said, "You still have nothing to say?"
I wiped the water from my hand, lowered my head and didn't look at him: "I... have nothing to say."
His eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden sound of horse hooves. Both of us turned our heads and saw that in the smoke and dust rising not far away, several horses rushed out like arrows.
It’s a deep thought and a wonderful statement!
I could see Nian Shen holding the reins in one hand and holding the other hand, holding a bunch of colorful flowers high, waving desperately towards this side. Miaoyan was only more than a meter behind him, and was so anxious that he shouted loudly, but he could not keep up with this distance.
Then, both of them stopped.
After a while, Princess Ling and the jockey holding the third prince also rushed over. Nian Shen walked up with a bouquet and respectfully presented it to Pei Yuanhao.
"Father."
Pei Yuanhao glanced at the bouquet. Although there was not much smile on his face, his eyes finally calmed down a lot. He nodded and said, "Okay, you have not disappointed your father's expectations. Get up."
Nian Shen stood up with a smile.
Miaoyan also rushed up and stamped her feet in a hurry: "It's just a little bit!"
Seeing them like this, everyone laughed, and Pei Yuanhao also smiled faintly, but at this time everyone was watching him, waiting for him to fulfill his previous words and would reward the first person who took the lead.
I saw Pei Yuanhao stroking the jade hanging on his wrist, wanting to be untied, but hesitated for a moment, tied it back, and passed the message to Eunuch Yu, "I rewarded the prince's brocade with twenty pieces, and twenty inner guards." As he said that, he turned his head and said to Nian Shen, "I have a set of "Martial Classics" where I will give you. Take it back and have a good look."
Nian Shen was stunned for a moment and hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Father."
Miaoyan was still beside him and said angrily and regretful: "Oh, I'm really a little bit away."
Looking at her competitive appearance, Pei Yuanhao smiled instead and waved her to come. Miaoyan sat next to him. He reached out and stroked Miaoyan's hair and said, "Girls, don't be so strong either. It's not good to be like your mother. However, I like you very much as you ride a horse well. I will let Yuquan take you to Curry later. Take a few items if you like. Don't be greedy."
Miaoyan also felt sorry for having just left the prince a few steps, but when he heard that there was a reward, he immediately stood up and knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Father!"
I sat next to me and didn't say anything.
Just now, I saw it very clearly that Pei Yuanhao should have wanted to give Nian Shen the jade in his hand, but in just a moment, he changed his mind.
Why change it? I thought about it, but because the warm jade restrains people's evil spirits and tempers people's temperaments, but in the current situation, he probably cannot make his prince more gentle, and he has no evil spirits.
This means that he has already felt that the future situation may be more difficult than what he had predicted in advance...
I was thinking this way, and he turned to Eunuch Yu and ordered, "Let the team come up." As he said that, he turned to ask Miaoyan and others: "Come and watch the game with your father."
Nian Shen immediately agreed. Just as he was about to sit back to his position, he heard Miaoyan pouting, "I don't want it! I was only a little short of winning over the prince's brother just now. I was not convinced. I had to ride a horse for a while. If I practiced again, I could beat the prince's brother."
Pei Yuanhao laughed when he heard this.
Eunuch Yu listened, hurriedly bent down and whispered: "Your Highness Princess, the emperor has asked me to take the princess to choose the good things, and there are rewards. Why should your princess be so concerned about winning or losing?"
Miaoyan said, "But I just now, I was only a little short of defeating the prince's brother."
"Your Highness, the emperor has already said that you can let your highness watch the game with you."
"No!"
Miaoyan said, turning his head and grab Pei Yuanhao's hand and swaying: "Father, let me go!"
Although she was acting cute, Pei Yuanhao just said that she should not be so strong. Everyone listened to her, and she was a little unruly like this. I frowned from the side and pulled her over: "Miaoyan must be obedient, don't be willful."
"mother--!"
Listening to her soft and coquettish voice, all the coldness in Pei Yuanhao's eyes melted by the spring breeze, and he smiled and said, "You, it's only you, you dare not listen to whatever I say."
Miaoyan blinked his big eyes and looked at him.
He also looked at her, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, go."
I was anxious: "Your Majesty!"
He looked up at me and said, "It's rare for a child to come out, so it's better for her to play with it."
"But she just rode around-"
As soon as I finished speaking, Miaoyan immediately lay on my arm: "Mom, that circle is very small, I can walk back, and I didn't run away at all. Let me go, I'll ride for a while, okay?"
Pei Yuanhao immediately said, "This is what you said. I will allow you, but I can only ride another lap. I will come back after the run and guard your mother obediently. Did you hear it?"
Miaoyan immediately straightened his back: "I understand!"
The two of them sang together completely, and I looked at them angrily. Pei Yuanhao then said to me again: "Just run another lap, there will be no problem. If you are worried, I will ask a few more people to watch her. And Nianshen, you will be with your sister."
Nian Shen hurriedly said, "Yes."
At this time, Miaoyan had already agreed and jumped down happily, and was cheering like a wild horse that broke away. Pei Yuanhao ordered, and immediately several eunuchs and jockeys followed. I was still not relieved. While Pei Yuanhao turned around and spoke, he waved to Xiao Fuzi to come over and told him to look at Miaoyan. Xiao Fuzi agreed.
Seeing Miaoyan running down, she flexibly turned over the horse and shook the reins skillfully. The horse rushed out like a liying arrow. It was more familiar to many adults. Maybe I was a little worried. Her riding skills were really good, but the words Liu Li said to me before made me feel like a thorn in my throat. Thinking of this, I turned my head and looked at it again, and saw that Nangong Lizhu was still sitting in her position, and there was no movement, so I felt relieved.
It shouldn't happen.
At this time, Eunuch Yu sent an order to let the polo team come up, and immediately set up a formation to fight. I didn't like this kind of activity too much, because it was too noisy and too intense. However, it seemed that everyone here liked it very much, and the concubines in the harem also watched it with relish. Only Pei Yuanhao. Although he kept watching it, I felt that his mind was not there.
Liu Qinghan...
Liu Qinghan...
This name entangled my heart, and I refused to retreat for so long, and now it completely occupied all my thoughts. Now, it is probably not just my mind.
But...what is he thinking?
What exactly does he want to do?
While I was thinking, I went to see Nangong Lizhu in a little confusion. She was still sitting there. I breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Yuanhao, who was standing beside him, looked at the hot polo below and suddenly said in a low voice: "What do you think he is doing this?"
"Minister women...normal women don't know."
Xichuan is now in a very subtle and critical position, and he is in Xichuan, leading a considerable force. In this way, he will really have an immeasurable impact on the situation in the entire Central Plains.
To be continued...
