Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

The emperor put the bun into his mouth, chewed it carefully twice, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is indeed a delicacy!" He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Not long after, Su Peisheng came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Guo has returned and is waiting at the palace gate. Should we summon him to see you first?"

The emperor thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, let him go to the Yangxin Palace and wait for me first. I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I miss him a little." After speaking, the emperor picked up the cup again, took a sip of soy milk, then stood up and left.

At this time, Shen Meimei was shocked when she heard that Prince Guo had returned.

She originally thought that Prince Guo would never come back after leaving the capital, but she didn't expect him to return suddenly.

Moreover, since Prince Guo has returned, Zhen Huan will definitely come back with him.

Thinking of this, Shen Meimei couldn't help but feel nervous and worried. After all, if the emperor found out that Zhen Huan was still alive, many people would definitely die.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was solemn. Prince Guo had been traveling in Sichuan and Bashu for more than a year, and he looked more calm and reserved than ever before.

At this moment, he was standing quietly in the hall, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

Finally, the emperor walked slowly into the hall with steady steps.

Upon seeing this, Prince Guo immediately knelt down and performed a standard kneeling ceremony, saying respectfully:

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed!" The voice was loud, with some joy and excitement.

When the emperor saw Prince Guo, a gratified smile appeared on his face. He strode forward, gently patted Yunli on the shoulder, and said with emotion:

"It's been more than a year since we last met, Seventeenth Brother. You seem to have become much stronger, while I look older! It's better to be young!" There was a hint of envy in his words.

When Prince Guo heard the emperor's words, his heart tightened, knowing that the emperor had something else to say, but he did not dare to respond rashly.

So he quickly bowed and answered sincerely:

"What are you talking about, my brother? I haven't seen you for over a year, and I think you look better now!"

He tried to ease the atmosphere with his words, while also expressing his respect and concern for the emperor.

The two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, so the emperor asked Su Peisheng to set up the chess board, and he was going to play chess and have a heart-to-heart talk with Prince Guo.

"Old Seventeen, I always envy you. You have been to so many places all over the country. Do you have any interesting stories to tell me?" The emperor first placed a chess piece on the chessboard.

Yunli smiled and waved, and had someone bring up a painting. He then opened the scroll.

The emperor took a closer look and found that Yunli had painted a picture of a night rain in Bashan Mountain, with majestic and continuous mountains and a man in Taoist robes sitting at the foot of the mountain.

Yunli pointed at the man in the Taoist robe and said:

"Brother, I know that you are busy with state affairs and have no time to travel. So whenever I go to a place, I will use my pen to draw the beautiful scenery. And this Taoist priest in Taoist robes, brother, who do you think he looks like?"

The emperor took the painting, took a closer look, and laughed. "Great! Brother Seventeen is really smart! This Heavenly Master painted me so vividly, and I look very much like him. Very good. I will accept this painting!"

"As long as my brother likes it, I will definitely paint a picture for you wherever I go in the future. What do you think?" Yun Li said.

Emperor: "Excellent! Oh, by the way, Seventeen, did you meet General Yue Zhongqi in Sichuan and Bashu this time?"
