Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 158 Chang'an (changed slightly)

Li Qin's heart moved, as if he suddenly understood something. His expression became strange for a moment, but soon returned to calm, and he even forced a smile.

"Regarding Mr. Zhongli... Ah Huan, please stop hiding it from me. I have a rough idea in my mind, but I just want to get a definite answer from you. Is he... the Emperor?"

Although Li Qin's voice was not loud, it was filled with surprise and confusion that could not be concealed. He stared at the person in front of him, hoping to find some clues from the other person's expression or eyes.

Lin Huan was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"In fact, the answer to this question is in your heart. Since you have already made a conclusion about his identity, there is no need to doubt yourself. And there is really no need for you to be too reserved and nervous in front of him."

“Alas… you don’t understand…” Li Qin shook his head helplessly, “In front of us Seven Stars, the Emperor is always dignified and never easily reveals emotions or gives praise… In fact, I am still… a little nervous.”

“But this is also because he has high hopes for the Seven Stars, hoping that you can make greater contributions to Liyue and do better.” Lin Huan smiled and comforted, “He has a firm belief in his heart, just like a good teacher and helpful friend… I believe you can also understand his painstaking efforts, right?”

"I understand, I really understand... But now that I am in this position, I must be careful and cautious, and dare not make any mistakes... I am afraid that I will never be the person I was before I took office... I also suddenly understand how hard my father and several predecessors worked, and how they were walking on thin ice..." Li Qin sighed softly, with a trace of annoyance on his face. Thinking back to his old father who had worked hard for Liyue all his life, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. "That's why I don't want to disappoint my father's expectations, and I don't want to disappoint the emperor..."

"But, the first step is to believe in yourself, give yourself encouragement and confidence, believe that you will not disappoint the Emperor and your father... Then just do it boldly. It doesn't matter if you make mistakes. There is no need to be afraid of mistakes caused by the pursuit of progress, and there is no need to be afraid of taking detours... This is all for the purpose of being able to do better." Lin Huan bent his eyebrows and looked at him soothingly. Beside him, Qiqi pulled Xiaolan to her side, and seemed to see that the serious conversation was finally over, so she ran over happily to act coquettishly.

Lin Huan's thoughts seemed to drift a little far away, and her gaze slowly focused back to the young Yuheng Star in front of her. Li Qin was about the same age as several of her close friends, in his prime. He had already taken the position of Seven Stars at this age, allowing his father to retire peacefully, which was enough to prove his excellence.

As for my acquaintance with him, it dates back to a few years ago. It was all related to Qingce Village and Xu Yuan, and it was because of these things that we met each other. At that time, the former Yuhengxing was already in a semi-retired state, handing over most of the work to his most valued son, and fully supporting him to let go and do things.

So, on a sunny day, they set out on the road to Qingce Village together. Along the way, the wheat ears swayed in the wind, as if telling the joy of the harvest; the breeze gently brushed across the face, bringing a touch of coolness, making people feel relaxed and happy.
