Splendid Twins

Ying Han touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience, "It's called woodblock printing. It's a method of carving words in reverse on a whole wooden board, and then adding ink to the whole board to print the recipe. I have mastered the technique recently, and I have made a small fortune with my brothers..."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, looked at Si Yao with interest, and chuckled:

"Tsk, since the state master is so generous, then I can't be stingy. Shadow Blade has counted that those who have been on missions recently will have their monthly silver tripled, and those who are guarding the mansion will have their monthly silver doubled."

Yinghan wanted to say something, but Yingyue spoke quickly:

"Thank you, my master, and thank you, Master Imperial Master."

As he said this, he glared at Ying Han without leaving any trace. This idiot, just take the money given by the master...

Si Yao was happy to see this. Lu Yuan's subordinates were all capable and lively, especially the two in front of her. She felt much happier after interacting with them recently.

"Where are you busy? I'll go take a look."

"backyard."

Lu Yuan openly held Si Yao's hand in public and said in a friendly tone:

"Go with me?"

Si Yao pulled back her hand embarrassedly, her cheeks slightly red: "Let's go, I'll go with you."

Just talk, how can this person take action...

Seeing this, the people present lowered their heads and tried to hold back their laughter. Oh my God, who could have thought that their arrogant regent king would be humiliated in front of the state master! !

Si Yao completely transformed the Imperial Master's Mansion into a museum similar to that of her time, spacious and tall.

The lobby of Sixian Hall is filled with easy-to-understand picture albums and large calligraphy copies, the contents of which were rewritten by Si Yao based on part of "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature", and are most suitable for the current development of Nanliang.

The bookshelves on the higher levels have restrictions. One must be a student to obtain articles related to the imperial examinations. These topics are all old questions from previous years that Si Yao asked from Tutor Ouyang, and they have been re-formatted and printed, so that the students here can experience five years of college entrance examinations and three years of simulations.

Lu Yuan looked around and was very interested. He immediately chose a printing plate and tried it twice. He did it quite well. The people working next to him were so timid that they didn't dare to say a word. Who would do this personally? !

Si Yao noticed everyone's nervousness, and seeing that Lu Yuan was having fun, she immediately said:

"Come on, I'll take you to the Innovation Institute. There are more fun things over there."

Lu Yuan then withdrew his hand and nodded: "Okay, let me learn more. I used to copy books by hand, which was not only slow but also time-consuming. Now that I have seen your design, it really proves the saying that wealth comes from skills rather than hard work!"

"Of course, the fairy's things are all the best."

Si Yao teased deliberately, smiling with a teasing look on his face.

Lu Yuan couldn't deny this. He washed his hands, let the others continue to work, and walked up to Si Yao. He covered his hand with his sleeve, held Si Yao's hand tightly, and leaned closer:

"Yes, yes, yes. In this world, only fairies can broaden my horizons."

Si Yao knew that he was teasing her on purpose, so she rolled her eyes and whispered in his ear:

"Lu Yuan, you will pay for what you have done sooner or later."

There is no reason to refuse an opportunity that comes to your doorstep.

Lu Yuan stretched out his hands and held the person in his arms, and pressed his lips against hers...

"Woooooooo..."

Seeing that the two of them were leaning against each other, Ying Ren and Lan Ying tactfully took a few steps back and avoided their eyes. They looked up at the sky and down at the ground, but not at the front.

The weather in August is dry and the wind carries a cloying sound...

Later, Si Yao didn’t understand why she was brought to the Regent’s Palace in a daze.

The next day, before dawn, Si Yao went to court for the first time as the imperial teacher. Lu Yuan personally helped her put on her court dress. She stretched out her arms, her eyes filled with sleepiness:

"I haven't gotten up this early in a long time..."

"Just bear with me for a moment. After today, the whole world will know that you are the Grand Master of Southern Liang."

"I have to wake up, otherwise it will look ugly if I yawn in court..."

"No need, Xiao Chen is not awake yet, you can take a nap for a while."

Lu Yuan fastened her waist belt for her. The imperial teacher's court robes were like clouds blooming in the morning light, gorgeous and solemn.

The main color is deep sky blue, supplemented by intricate patterns cleverly woven with gold and silver threads. On the sleeves of the robe, there are auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes embroidered, with dragons soaring in the clouds, which are lifelike.

This is the pattern chosen by Lu Yuan himself. She has the dragon vein in her hand, so wearing a piece of clothing is no big deal.

Si Yao fiddled with the gem on the jade belt, and her eyes regained some clarity. She stared at Lu Yuan, who was wearing a python robe in front of her. The man had sharp brows and a handsome face. A pair of large hands with distinct joints fiddled with the collar of her neck. For some reason, Si Yao trembled.

"what happened?"

"No...it's okay."

Lu Yuan looked at her meaningfully, his eyes deep and dark, his fingertips accidentally brushed across Si Yao's lips, and he said in a low voice:

"It's time to put on makeup..."

"You go out first, Lanying will help me."

Lu Yuan: "..."

After all the trouble, Si Yao was completely sober when he arrived at the palace.

In the main hall, the little emperor was in particularly high spirits today. He stared at the entrance of the hall with his sharp eyes, making all the ministers a little nervous.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

"What's the big deal today?"

"The prince hasn't arrived yet, maybe His Majesty has something to do..."

At this moment, the eunuchs shouted loudly at the palace gate:

"The Prince Regent has arrived!"

"The Imperial Master has arrived!"

Inside the hall, the eyes of all the ministers converged on the entrance of the hall.

As the footsteps slowly approached, two figures walked out of a painting, side by side into the magnificent hall, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The Regent stood tall and straight, as majestic as a mountain, and every step he took exuded an aura of authority without even being angry.

The sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices and shone onto his intricate and exquisite dragon robe. The golden dragon pattern sparkled brightly in the sun, adding a touch of nobility and elegance.

However, Si Yao, who stood shoulder to shoulder with him, had a completely different style.

She has a lithe figure and looks heroic, with an indescribable bravery and tenacity revealed between her brows.

The two stood side by side, one tall and one short, complementing each other, like a match made in heaven.

The little emperor's eyes were instantly attracted by this scene, with a flash of surprise and light in his eyes. He quickly said, "Uncle, Master Imperial Master, you are here."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly in response. Today, he did not follow the old custom and sit beside the dragon throne, but stood at the head of the ministers in an independent manner.

That position is noble and lonely, as if the focus of the entire hall is concentrated here!

It goes without saying that the empty seat next to him was reserved for someone, and no one dared to encroach upon it.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Today is a great day."

Lu Yuan spoke in a deep voice, which was brief but full of profound meaning.

However, when the little emperor heard these words of congratulations, he felt mixed emotions.

The little emperor stared at Lu Yuan, who held great power, with complicated eyes.

He was a man of swift and decisive action, never troubled by emotions, and his ruthlessness and resoluteness were known to everyone in the government and the country.

However, what he saw today shocked him like never before.

Such a big fanfare...

They haven't even gotten married yet, but they're already protecting me very closely.
