Heaven and earth return to one

On the twenty-sixth day of the seventh month, King Qiujue brought his son into the palace to face the saint.

The generous gifts brought along from Qiujue filled half the hall, and more than half of the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty still looked very unhappy.

Ben Lang and his two sons bowed down to Li Yunshen who was sitting on the throne, saying long live.

Li Yunke watched from the side, and saw that although Ben Fusheng knelt down because of his father's majesty, his expression was very disdainful when he kowtowed; Ben Hongsheng beside him was not willing to perform such a grand ceremony, but his face was calm, which should not be there at all No emotion was shown.

Li Yunshen was very satisfied, raised his chin arrogantly, raised his hand and said, "King Qiujue and the prince don't need to be polite, let's get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." With the support of his two sons, Ben Lang got up, and drew a big circle along the boxes behind him, "Your Majesty, Xiao Wang knows that Chengning is rich in land and things, and there is nothing lacking. I don't think I would care about such a small gift, it's just a little respect from Qiu Jue, please don't dislike it, Your Majesty."

These few words put Li Yunshen in a good mood, "King Qiujue is being polite."

Ben Lang walked to the back, picked up a small box, opened it, and handed it up, saying, "This one is special, it's called Resurrection Grass, and it doesn't grow here in Chengning. This kind of herb is extremely precious. It can be seen only in the depths of the most dangerous mountain. If you are lucky, you can get such a plant for more than a hundred years, which can bring the dying back to life. Now there are only five plants in the Qiujue palace, and Xiao Wang dedicated two of them to the emperor. , so that Chengning and Qiujue will have a good relationship forever, and there will be no war."

Director Bai stepped forward to take the box from him, and held it in front of Li Yunshen.

Li Yunshen glanced at it, but didn't see anything special about this so-called miraculous medicine, and it was inconvenient to test the authenticity, so he didn't take it very seriously.But the sincerity of the man was there, and he couldn't take the other party's face seriously, so he nodded with a smile and said: "This gift is really too expensive, King Qiujue has a heart."

Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, Ben Lang said, "The Emperor, please make peace..."

"Not busy," Li Yunshen said, "King Qiujue and the two princes traveled thousands of miles to come here. They must have endured a lot of hard work on the way. Let's take a rest in the post station for a few days. I will ask someone to set up a banquet in the palace three days later." , when the time comes, King Qiujue will accompany me to have a few drinks, let's talk while drinking."

He didn't agree in one word, Ben Lang didn't know what to do, and looked a little uneasy.However, Li Yunke knew that the matter had been settled, even if the Resurrection Grass didn't suit Li Yunshen's liking, the boxes of gold, silver and jewels were enough to impress him.Moreover, Li Yunshen was originally a person who did not want to fight. If someone put the steps under his feet, how could he not step on them?

At this moment, Ben Hongsheng, who was standing behind Ben Lang, stepped forward, bowed deeply to Li Yunshen, and said, "Your Majesty, when can I see General Xiong?"

"It's easy." Li Yunshen pointed to Xu Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, "Xu Aiqing, you can return the person to them when the imperial court is over today."

He only said he wanted to see him, but he returned it directly, which is really generous.Li Yunke subconsciously frowned, but he restrained himself.

Xu Yan didn't care so much, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is unreasonable. Even if the prisoner is to be returned, it should wait until they leave Yingzhong, and the Criminal Department will escort the prisoner outside the city, and then they will take him away." .”

What Li Yunshen couldn't bear the most was that he said one thing and others said another. This time, he was still in front of foreign kings. Wouldn't it make people think that he, the emperor, had no prestige at all?

He immediately darkened his face and said: "Such a trivial matter, do you still need to issue an imperial decree?"

Xu Yan wanted to say more, but Qi Lan pulled the corner of his clothes, and when he looked sideways, he saw Li Yunke shook his head very quickly.He clenched his fists tightly and stood there for a while, then he said in a suffocated way: "I obey the order."

"In a big country like Chengning, you should not be too harsh on your neighbors. Do you remember, Ai Qing?" After Li Yunshen finished speaking, he looked at Li Yunke without waiting for him to answer, "We will stop here today Now, Prince Duan, you will send King Qiujue and the two princes back to the station for me. After that, you should also rest, and you don’t have to come back to report.”

He saved his face in front of others, and if he suffered a loss in the future and stumbled, I don't know if he would regret it.Li Yunke slandered and said respectfully: "Your brother accepts the order."

Ben Lang and his two sons said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Yunshen stood up from the dragon chair, "If you think of where to go in the past few days, just ask the people in the station to find Prince Duan, he will take you to visit Yingzhong."

Ben Lang even said yes.

Li Yunke: "..." It was hard for me to stay in Yingzhong for a few more days, and I didn't forget to find something for me to do.

After counting the gifts, it happened to be around noon when the person was sent back to the station, and Li Yunke was left by Ben Lang to have lunch with them.

After a meal, each other was testing each other, and the food was tasteless.Li Yunke felt that if this happened a few more times, he would have to ask Xu Mingxi for some digestive medicine to take.

The banquet etiquette department has almost arranged, and Li Yunke didn't need to go to work, so he rarely returned to the palace early.

When entering Jingyuan, seeing Xu Mingxi moved a small bench and was sitting in the yard collecting herbs, Li Yunke rolled his eyes and walked towards him.

Kong Ying, who was helping, came forward first, and whispered: "My lord came back really early today, but the leader of Nangong just fell asleep."

Li Yunke threw the sour plums he bought along the way, "Don't bother him, I have something to ask Xiaoxi, you go and make a pot of tea for us."

Xu Mingxi looked up at him suspiciously, "What does the prince want from me?"

Li Yunke sat on the small bench that Kong Ying was sitting on, thought for a while, and then moved the bench closer to him, and asked expectantly: "Xiao Xi, Ah Xuan, can we have sex this month?" ?”

Not long after returning to the room, Nan Gongxuan, who did not fall asleep and came out when he heard Li Yunke came back: "..."

Both Xu Mingxi and Li Yunke heard him open the door, and the former laughed unceremoniously when he saw his embarrassing and angry face.

"What are you laughing at? Hold on!" Nangongxuan walked over and pretended to be fierce and said to Xu Mingxi.

Li Yunke stood up with a pure and innocent expression, as if he wasn't the one who asked that sentence.He showed a harmless smile, and asked Nangong Xuan: "I heard Yingying said that you were asleep, did I wake you up?"

"I know I'm still quarreling so much!" Nangong Xuan scolded him, but his face turned red.

Xu Mingxi watched it interestingly, and said: "My lord, after the first three months, it will be fine, but you have to take it easy. A pregnant person's strength is not good, not to mention that my family's leader is still wounded, you can't be too cruel gone."

Nangongxuan bent down and tried to shut him up, "Besides, I will abolish your position as Qingyu Dharma Guardian!"

"Be careful!" Li Yunke supported him with a smile.

Xu Mingxi dodged his hand, jumped to the side and continued: "However, you can't let him bear it just because you are afraid of hurting him. It is good for your body to vent once in a while."

Nangongxuan blushed from face to neck, and said from embarrassment, "Xu Mingxi, I will expel you from teaching!"

Xu Mingxi's response to him was a series of laughs.

Nangong Xuan: "..."

Li Yunke felt itchy again, but in order not to really make Nangong Xuan angry, he, the culprit, ran out again to pretend to be a good person, coughing dryly: "Xiaoxi, that... I didn't want to ask you this, the main thing is I just want to ask you, have you heard of the 'Resurrection Grass'?"

Xu Mingxi was still making faces at Nangong Xuan, but when he heard him say this, his eyes widened, and he didn't care if he would be beaten, so he stepped over and grabbed Li Yunke's forearm, and said excitedly: "Why did the prince suddenly ask about the Resurrection Grass, where did you see it?"

Nangong Xuan really slapped the back of his hand.

Xu Mingxi had no time to talk to him, and asked urgently: "My lord, did you really see it?"

Li Yunke held Nangongxuan's hand with a smile, nodded and said: "There is such a gift among the gifts brought by King Qiujue. I glanced at it, and there were only two grasses, which looked no different from the weeds in this yard."

"Then it is very likely to be true!" Xu Mingxi couldn't stop when he mentioned the precious medicinal materials, "Qiu Jue can't compare to Cang Xun, there are precious medicinal materials everywhere, and this is the only one they can get, but it is extremely precious , it can almost be said to be an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. It is hard to find one plant, but King Qiujue gave two plants so generously!"

Nangongxuan got a headache from his quarrel, broke away from Li Yunke's hand and said, "You can talk to him, I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

"I'll accompany you." Li Yunke followed immediately.

"My lord!" Xu Mingxi groaned, and grabbed Li Yunke's sleeves tightly, blinking her round eyes, "I have to see the Resurrection Grass once in my life, and I will die in peace. Go and steal one for me." !"

Li Yunke: "..."

Nangongxuan pulled Xu Mingxi's hand away in dissatisfaction, pushed Li Yunke forward, and said to him: "You go back to the room first, I want to teach my disobedient subordinate a lesson."

In Li Yunke's ears, the words "Go back to your room first" were even more pleasant than the most beautiful tunes in the world. He wrapped his arms around Nangongxuan's waist and said in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if you rest well. Just let Kang Hui do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Hui appeared behind Xu Mingxi and dragged her away.

Xu Mingxi exclaimed in mid-air, but the figure disappeared.

"I intentionally guided the emperor to set the palace dinner on July 29th, avoiding the first day of the new year." Li Yunke helped him into the room, asking for credit, "Is there any reward?"

Nangongxuan suddenly thought of the question Li Yunke asked Xu Mingxi when he just came back, and said: "It's a bright day, what do you think about dirty things?"

Li Yunke was stunned and then understood, and said with a smile: "I really didn't mean that, but since the princess wants to wait until after dark, then I will accompany you."

Nangong Xuan: "..."
