Xie Tan felt bitter in her heart. What a good emperor! If she knew that he had concealed from her the fact that Xie Yunji was not dead and even ordered the hunting down of Xie Yunji, would she still look at him like this?

Leaving Xie Yunjie behind was really a last resort.

Children from poor families may be able to make up for their innate deficiencies through acquired diligence, but some things can never be cultivated in one or two generations, such as foreign slang, which children from poor families will never be able to reach on their own.

Those are resources that can only be obtained through the connections accumulated by ancestors over generations.

Xie Yunjie is a man from an aristocratic family who works extremely hard. Unlike Xie Yunji, who is extremely talented, he has a trustworthy and steadfast demeanor.

If Xie Yunji is a hypocrite, then Xie Yunjie is his purified version, a true gentleman.

Xie Tan reluctantly gave him the title of Tanhua.

He was not a saint. The closer he got to her, the more he couldn't bear the thought of the four years that Xie Yunji had invaded her. If Xie Yunji was dead, he would have wanted to grind his bones to ashes, let alone that Xie Yunji was still alive!

Her body was so fragrant, soft and graceful, her gentleness was intoxicating, and her skillful kiss was something Xie Yunji had experienced!

How could he not be jealous? !

Seeing that he still looked gloomy, Song Nihuan nuzzled his neck again, "So unhappy? Don't you like me anymore?"

"I like you." His voice was filled with helplessness. He pulled her into his arms and locked her in his embrace, coaxing her gently, "How could I not like you... I like you so much that my heart is breaking."

"I wasn't targeting you just now."

"Yeah, I know." She leaned on his arms, "Then go wash up quickly. You've been tired for several days. Go to bed early tonight."

"I'm not tired, I just want to hug you. You were already asleep when I came back these days, and I haven't had a good talk with you for a long time."

"…How long has it been? Just two days." Song Nihuan said.

"Okay, I knew you didn't miss me." Xie Tan said awkwardly.

"Nonsense. I went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony today and saw you from afar."

Xie Tan's tense face finally showed a smile, and he asked tentatively: "Really?"

"Hmm." She curved her eyebrows and adjusted his crown with her slender fingers, "Brother Tan is very different from what I imagined."

"Why is it different?" He couldn't suppress the smile and asked knowingly.

"Oh, it's nothing." She teased him.

He stretched out his hand to tickle her, and said with a smile, "It's so difficult to get you to praise me."

Song Nihuan had many ticklish spots on her body, and she giggled when he tickled her. She fell on the bed, and he pressed on her while she was laughing.

The air stagnated for a moment, and she could feel the burning of his gaze and the changes somewhere in her body.

After a moment, he let go of the crown on his head, loosened his collar, and gave her a passionate kiss.

His breath was beside her ear, warm and rapid. He bit her neck lightly and then moved down.

Her thin undergarment could not hide her curvy figure. In fact, she was no longer as resistant to Xie Tan's touch as before, and was even willing to accept his closeness. However, she still could not accept having sex with him.

Especially after meeting Xie Yunjie today, she realized that Xie Yunji's position in her heart was more important than she thought. She told herself in her heart that with more time, more time, she would slowly forget him...

Feeling her nervousness but not pushing him away, Xie Tan's heart softened. He stopped peeling off her clothes and kissed her lips tenderly. He restrained himself and pulled her clothes shut, no longer looking at the alluring scene.

He pressed his forehead against hers, closed his eyes to hide his restrained desire, and said, "Go to sleep."

Xie Tan seemed extremely tired and fell asleep beside her after taking a bath.

Song Nihuan stared at the top of the tent but couldn't fall asleep.

What if Xie Yunjie didn’t come today, and what if Zhou Zhong didn’t come either?

Ignorance is the best fault. What if that foreign man really did something to her?

That man was so arrogant and presumptuous, insisting that he thought she was a palace maid and forced himself on her. At a time when all nations were paying tribute, would Xie Tan really punish him severely for her?

Song Nihuan turned around and curled up into a ball.

Why does she always have to rely on others for rescue?

Why can anyone control her fate...

On the other side, Xie Yunjie returned to his mansion and couldn't fall asleep either.

She really didn't remember him...

At that time, her heart and eyes were filled with her elder brother, so how could she care about anyone else?

But now when she mentioned Xie Yunji, she was so calm and indifferent.

She was already a favored concubine of the emperor.

The woman that the ministers talked about in their spare time was her...

The next day.

The complicated tribute ceremony was completed yesterday. Today is the day for friendly exchanges among envoys from various countries. As for the content of the exchanges, in addition to the output of local culture, there is also a competition of military force.

The arena in the palace had been newly renovated. There were red silk tied around the high platform, and swords reflected the sunlight from time to time.

Some came down with gloomy faces, some were full of fighting spirit, and some spectators were fascinated by the winners on the stage and would rush to greet them when they came down.

As the host of the Celestial Empire, Xie Tan naturally has to take charge of it.

However, he had no intention of watching these people compete, as in his hand was a memorial containing information about guests from all over the world who came to congratulate him.

"Your Majesty, the next one is Wuxu Kingdom." Chen Liang bowed and lowered his head.

"What kind of country is that? Why haven't I heard of it before?" asked the emperor.

"It is... a small country next to Loulan. Previously, several tribes came together and seized a valley that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. I estimated that Loulan would not be interested in conquering their small piece of land, so I allowed them to develop into a small country, and their king called himself the ruler." Chen Liang frowned and thought for a moment.

The king did not dare to call himself a king, but only dared to call himself the ruler of the country. It can be seen that he was not a big shot and was probably just following the trend.

Xie Tan pursed his lips slightly and took off his robe.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Chen Liang asked in surprise.

This kind of grand occasion of mutual encouragement and progress is usually an exchange between envoys from various countries, and it is rare for monarchs to take part.

"Challenge them." Xie Tan said.

The young king sitting high on the throne was very eye-catching, with white hair, silver helmet, and upright posture. Some people had seen him on the battlefield. Compared with the sharp and cold look back then, his features were now calm and peaceful, making him even more not to be underestimated.

When the King of Wuxu received the letter of challenge, he could not believe his eyes. Why would the Emperor of Dazhao challenge them?

The host usually just keeps the guests company.

Whose monarch would leave the court directly? If he loses, where will he put his face?

Everyone in the field became excited, even the eunuchs who were bowing with their hands hanging down could not help but look at the king on the podium.

While the King of Wuxu was getting anxious, the burly man next to him looked even worse than him.

He is the king's brother-in-law. He has been spoiled since childhood and has no idea of ​​the immensity of the world. This time he came to Dazhao, he insisted on seeing the elegance of the Celestial Empire, but he did not expect to cause such a big trouble.

The brother-in-law whispered something in his brother-in-law's ear. The King of Wuxu was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He actually offended the emperor's favorite concubine. What should he do?

"The emperor looks just like that. Since he has openly issued a challenge to us, I will fight him. I may not be defeated!" said the man unconvinced.

"You are stupid! I think you are really crazy! It is wrong for you to dare to accept the challenge! Think about it, if he wins, some people will say that he won unfairly because of his home advantage. If he loses, where can you let him put his face? Our Wuxu Kingdom is sandwiched between Dazhao and Loulan. How can we have an easy life in the future?" The king of Wuxu spoke very quickly, as if he was about to face a disaster.
