Splendid Twins

After returning to Zangfeng Garden, Si Yao went back to the house to change clothes. After getting ready, she went to the hall and saw the little emperor.

In the land of Southern Liang, identity is no longer a secret. Si Yao knew that she could no longer avoid it, so she nodded slightly and saluted the little emperor in the most appropriate manner.

"Seen..."

Just as he was about to say the routine greeting, the little emperor interrupted him:

"Please stand up quickly. Why do we need all this red tape between you and me? I came here without notice today. It is really abrupt. I hope... Miss will forgive me."

The little emperor's words were a mixture of apology and kindness. His words were fluent, but he could not hide the complexity in his eyes that drifted towards Lu Yuan from time to time.

Lu Yuan sat there with a relaxed posture, sipping tea leisurely, as if all the troubles around him had nothing to do with him.

The little emperor muttered to himself, the old man is so leisurely, but he has to worry about this uncertain status! !

Whenever he met Si Yao, the three words "Miss Si" were like a thorn stuck in his throat. He wanted to appear friendly while being polite, but he was at a loss for a more appropriate name.

He could still get away with it in North Vietnam, but if he continued like this in Southern Liang, he would sooner or later become a laughing stock in the court!

The sharp eyes of the Grand Tutor and those conservative ministers, if they knew that he had made such an exception for a girl without a formal status, would definitely cause an uproar in the morning court, accusing him of behaving inappropriately and bringing disgrace to the royal family!

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and glanced at the little emperor lightly, with a hint of warning hidden in his deep eyes.

The little emperor secretly groaned in his heart, "Auntie, oh auntie, you really don't play by the rules. Don't you see that the old man's eyes are almost staring through him?"

"Have you completed the homework assigned by the Grand Tutor?"

Lu Yuan looked at the little emperor expressionlessly, as if he didn't recognize any relatives, which made the little emperor immediately behave himself.

"There are still twenty large characters to go."

"Shadow Blade."

Little Emperor: "..."

He was very familiar with the scene that was about to happen. He obediently walked to the desk, raised his pen, and Shadow Blade waited beside him to prepare the pen and ink...

"Yaoyao, come and have some tea."

Lu Yuan's attitude changed so suddenly, as if he had become a different person. He gave Si Yao a warm smile, his eyes flashing with unprecedented tenderness.

He personally picked up the teapot with skillful and graceful movements, and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Si Yao. This meticulous care could be felt by everyone present.

The little emperor witnessed all this and couldn't help feeling a little jealous. He tilted his head and rolled his eyes with a helpless and slightly mischievous look. His expression revealed the innocence of a child and a hint of the arrogance typical of an emperor.

This scene happened to be caught by Si Yao. Their eyes met in the air. The little emperor made a naughty face at Si Yao, and then quickly lowered his head, pretending to write seriously on the paper. His well-behaved and naughty look made people laugh.

Si Yao looked at Lu Yuan, a meaningful smile flashed in her eyes, and there seemed to be a tacit understanding and understanding between the two that did not require any words.

Lu Yuan's action was not only out of respect and care for her, but also a subtle way to ease the little emperor's embarrassment and dissatisfaction.

The road to becoming an emperor requires both iron-blooded tactics and human warmth. Therefore, Lu Yuan's educational strategy for him must be both strict and meaningful.

Si Yao picked up the tea and took a sip, then spoke slowly:

"Do you remember I mentioned to you before that I met a person whose scent was the same as yours..."

Lu Yuan paused after hearing this, then nodded: "The production of that kind of fumigant soap that can leave a lasting fragrance is not high in Nanliang, and the one that can be used on me must be a special supply for the royal family. However, Shadow Blade has checked and found that during that period, no one from the Nanliang royal family entered North Vietnam..."

Si Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and tapped the table with her fingertips seemingly randomly, but the sound made the little emperor's heart tremble!

"This man's name is Gou Huan, his identity and origin are unknown, but he has magic skills that are comparable to mine. Today, before you came, he just left..."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said in a low voice:

"It was him? He saw me, glanced at me quickly, and seemed to be avoiding me..."

Si Yao recalled the details in her mind, starting from the time they met... Suddenly, her eyes tightened!

Then he focused his mind into the space, looking at the dragon veins surging on the ground like maggots. His eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he said with a fierce momentum:

"That person today... knows of your existence?"

The dragon vein was frightened by the powerful pressure emanating from Si Yao and trembled. He originally wanted to deny it...

Unexpectedly, Si Yao stretched out her hand, pinched its vitals with her five fingers, stared at its green eyes, and smiled evilly:

"You don't have to tell me. I'll throw you out now to save you from being annoying!"

Longmai shrank his neck, and under the pressure, he had to nod.

"Who is he?"

The dragon vein shook its head. It didn't know either...

"waste!"

Si Yao's eyes were cold. Gou Huan was the first person to see that she had two souls. He also gave her the lightning-struck wood and asked her to help him when he needed help!

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world!

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Yuan comforted her:

"As long as he is still in Nanliang, he will definitely show up again. I have someone keep an eye on him."

Si Yao came back to her senses, stared at him and said:

"Don't make things difficult for him. If you start fighting, your people will be afraid..."

Lu Yuan knew what she meant, which was to not resort to violence. If a fight broke out, all his men would surely be killed! !

The little emperor was doing two things at once. Seeing Si Yao not avoiding him, his eyes became deep and quiet. He couldn't help but think... could it be that person? ?

At this time, Lu Yuan handed a memorial to Si Yao:

"open to take a look."

Si Yao was stunned. He first glanced at the little emperor who was writing seriously, and then hesitantly said:

"This... is against the rules..."

Memorials were only read by the royal family. As an ordinary citizen, wouldn't it be too pampering for her...

"Specially for you, ordered by His Majesty himself."

Little Emperor: “???”

Si Yao opened it and saw that she was appointed as the National Master of Southern Liang!

"What's your idea?"

"In Nanliang, you don't have to hide anything. You can do whatever you want, or you can do nothing. The only thing is that you have to stay by my side."

Lu Yuan spoke in a negotiating tone. He would remove all obstacles and give Si Yao a chance to show her abilities. From a selfish point of view, if she stood the highest, the only ones who would benefit would be the Southern Liang royal family!

Upon hearing this, the little emperor immediately put down his pen and looked at the familiar seal on it, smiling and saying:

"This is what I built myself. You must keep it well. When the Imperial Master's Mansion is completed, I will issue an imperial decree to announce it to the world!"

Is this the emperor’s uncle’s arrangement?

No wonder, he took away his personal seal early in the morning and also took away his best house in Kyoto. Thinking of this, his eyelids drooped slightly, and a dark color flashed in his eyes...
