Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

On the way back home by carriage, Jiang Yuchen asked, "Who is that man?"

"I don't know, I picked it up on the roadside." I fiddled with the bell and grinned at him.

Jiang Yuchen: "Picked up on the roadside? Not to mention his expensive Nanyang clothes, his words and deeds alone are very unusual. How could you pick up such a person on the roadside?"

"Maybe... you are fascinated by my peerless beauty."

Jiang Yuchen: "...Be more serious. He must not be an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could you ask the shopkeeper to call me. If you didn't tell me, I would have guessed that he is from Nanyang and carries a dagger on his waist. With a glazed bead on the sword and a tone that could not be criticized, I think it must be Nanyang Emperor Ling Hengyuan."

I didn't expect him to guess it so quickly: "Master National Preceptor, are you so sure?"

Jiang Yuchen: "I wasn't so sure at first, but after seeing the dagger, I was sure."

"Why?"

Jiang Yuchen: "Emperor Nanyang was violent and good at killing with one blow with a dagger. However, he has restrained himself recently, but he is still very crazy inside. Do you know why he punished the palace maids last time?"

I shook my head.

Jiang Yuchen: "Just because the palace maid touched the glass bead on his dagger, she was punished with ten strokes."

Seeing his indifferent expression, I asked: "Does the Imperial Master think he is cruel?"

Jiang Yuchen: "Yes. However, I heard that the glass bead sword tassel was a gift from his beloved."

He paused for a moment, stroking the bell in his hand: "If someone touches this bell, I'm afraid I will do the same."

I:"……"

Fortunately, he didn't tell him that the red rope was broken by Chi Wanshen. But "I believe that the National Master will not be that kind of person."

"No." Jiang Yuchen interrupted me, "I will. If you stay in that wing for a long time today, the maid may die."

I was stunned: "Why, why?"

Jiang Yuchen: "A man and a woman alone, alone in a room, you know what I am thinking and worrying about."

I opened my mouth, but he suddenly touched my neck. It was hot summer outside, but the tips of his fingers were cold: "I haven't drunk the antidote today, but I will help you brew it when you get home."

Me: "..." I feel like my fate is being strangled by my throat and I can't breathe.

Jiang Yuchen is still the same Jiang Yuchen, but something seems to be slowly changing: "There is no need to go to the Guoshi Temple in the next few days. I will tell the regent that I will have a good rest at home for a few days."

I couldn't resist, and I was afraid that I would meet Ling Hengyuan again when I went out, so I simply agreed: "Okay."

Chi Wanshen received a message from Jiang Yuchen and didn't say anything. He just asked someone to send him some clothes to wait for the birthday banquet two days later.

It’s just that I always felt that I couldn’t sleep well these past two days. I always felt like there was someone on the eaves. I called someone to take a look and found out that it was a little thing called civet flower.

I grabbed it and asked, "How did you get up there? You're so fat. No wonder the tabby cat next door doesn't like you."

Lihua was lying on the ground, too fat to turn over.

Even though it was like this, Jiang Yuchen still wanted to take it to the Guoshi Temple to be a lucky kitten.

On the day of the birthday party, Jiang Yuchen had people deliver the civet flowers to the Guoshi Temple early, then turned around and took me on a carriage to the city gate.

It was the same meeting of envoys at the city gate, but the feeling was different for me.

Standing at the front were the young emperor and Chi Wanshen. Their clothes were much the same as usual. Chi Wanshen, in particular, was still as fancy and eye-catching among the neatly dressed ministers.

Today I put on a long-lost dress. It was the one sent by Chi Wanshen. It was purple with gold trim. I was sad because I rarely wear such gorgeous dresses. The jewelry on her head was purchased by Jiang Yuchen. The long tassels were paired with purple beads, which were luxurious yet dignified.

Song Shiyi still couldn't return to the capital today. The bandits in Yuanqu City had already been wiped out by her, but she went to other border towns.

There were many letters left to the young emperor. Song Shiyi was afraid that he would worry, so he wrote down every detail in them, no matter how big or small. The little emperor didn't put the word "sister" on his lips every day like before, but after all, he was still a child, and his thoughts were all written on his face.

For example, right now, although the little emperor didn't show any expression, his look around from time to time still revealed his mood. He must have missed her.

Jiang Yuchen: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering... should I eat chicken or fish tonight?"

Jiang Yuchen was helpless: "There are chickens, ducks and fish at the palace banquet, so there is no need to choose."

While he was talking, a guard came to report that the envoy had arrived.

The first thing I saw was Qin Che riding a horse at the forefront. He was so handsome in his riding attire. It reminded me of the scene when he returned to the court after a great victory. He had achieved outstanding military exploits at a young age. Now, he is a little more calm and restrained than before. Thinking of Yuan Qucheng's farewell seems like yesterday.

The carriage behind him had also entered the city, and what came down was Ling Hengyuan, whom he had met a few days ago. He never liked others to serve him personally, but now he had Meng Dong to serve him personally.

Oh, what a show.

After I had already confirmed with the system that there was no need to conquer Ling Heng Yuan and Qin Che, I had the idea of ​​watching a show.

"drop! Warm reminder, the host needs to retrieve the remaining soul fragments by himself! 』

I really want to pull out the system in my brain and peel off its parts bit by bit: It's obviously your mistake, why should I solve it myself?

"A luxurious gift package has been added to the host, which will be distributed after the fragments are retrieved (●_●)"

Me:...Am I the kind of person who can be satisfied with just a little favor...

"After the host mission is completed, the wish list will be increased to four times"

good! I'll do it!

At worst, if I negotiate terms with Ling Hengyuan, I don't believe that the things I made are not worth a half-immortal person.

"County Lord."

I came back to my senses and met Ling Hengyuan's eyes in front of me.

Ling Hengyuan smiled and said: "Meeting the county master again so soon, it seems that we... have a good fate."

Chi Wanshen: "When did your Majesty meet the county head of our country?"

Qin Che also looked over and obviously recognized me as the person he rescued that day.

Jiang Yuchen leaned over calmly, the bell hidden in his sleeve jingling.

I:"……"

I was just distracted, why did it suddenly develop like this?

Seeing that I was silent, Ling Hengyuan said: "I heard that the tea in the capital of your country is very unusual, so I was greedy for this tea. I went into the city first to taste it. I met the county lord on the way, and we had a pleasant conversation, and we became acquainted."

Chi Wanshen looked like he just knew: "Is that so? It's because I didn't entertain you well, and I didn't even know that Your Majesty was here."

Oh, just pretend, don't you know who's coming to that restaurant you own?

Ling Hengyuan: "It doesn't matter, I was the one who said it too abruptly."

Seeing them coming and going, I couldn't bear to disturb them. If the little emperor hadn't been giving me winks, I wouldn't have intervened: "How about we continue with the next process?"

Jiang Yuchen made a gesture of invitation, and regardless of what the people behind him thought, he pulled me and walked ahead to lead the way.

I complained softly to him: "As expected of a man in a high position, his words are always thorny."

Jiang Yuchen told me: "This is the reason why I don't want to deal with political affairs."

In fact, in the early years, the Beiyin Emperor allowed the imperial advisor to enter the court to handle political affairs, but Jiang Yuchen was unwilling and only wanted to be a leisurely imperial advisor. Being able to read the horoscope once a month is his greatest patience.
