Chapter 95 Inviting the Princess to Live Together
Chapter 95 Inviting the Princess to Live Together
As soon as the words "eat well and drink well" came out, Li Xingluo realized that something was wrong.
Eat and drink well?
What am I talking about?
She was really afraid that the "mistress" would invite her to eat and drink together.
I am even more afraid of agreeing.
He also drove the "mistress" away and ate all the food alone.
Ever since she refined that strand of totem energy, she felt as if all her desires were released like a prisoner out of a cage, especially in that aspect...
I don’t know if it was because I happened to witness that scene when the totem source energy was unsealed.
This was the first time in Li Xingluo's life that he felt at a loss.
Fortunately.
She has a pair of sensible princesses and mothers.
Bai Yuji quickly helped Qin Muye put his clothes in order, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "I am treating him. You know, he is not in good health. But there is no rush for treatment. If you have something important to say, you can talk about it first."
"Um……"
Li Xingluo glanced at Qin Muye and felt that he did not seem to be in any bad health.
in contrast.
Even a little bit fierce.
Hey?
What am I thinking?
She quickly said, "It's not a big deal, why don't you continue with the treatment..."
Bai Yuji interrupted quickly: "Let's talk about business first. A lot of things have happened recently, so business is more important."
Done.
Then he left as if escaping.
If it was a complete stranger, she would have chased him away long ago.
But after staying together in the secret realm for such a long time, she had become very familiar with this Miss Wu Lu, and she also quite liked this loyal, free-spirited and open-minded subordinate.
You can’t curse.
Shame cannot be shown.
So I could only pretend to be calm and ran away.
Just a pity.
Qin Muye should be very angry now. If he doesn't vent his anger, he might even blame himself.
She didn't have to worry about leaving Qin Muye and Wu Lu in the same room.
After all, although Wu Lu has a good figure, her appearance is only average, so Qin Muye should not have any thoughts about her.
Moreover, Wu Lu is cheerful and capable, and has strong cultivation, so she should not accept anything Qin Muye does to her.
Bai Yuji felt that just thinking about this possibility made her feel like she was looking down on many people.
……
"Lord..."
"Hey! Come on, sit down. Do you want some tea?"
Qin Muye rubbed his head, quickly sat down at the table, and poured tea to hide his embarrassment.
Upside down.
He paused.
He crossed his legs and continued pouring tea.
Li Xingluo sat opposite, his mind full of the scene just now.
This kind of thing that had seemed like a waste of time just thinking about it over the past decade or so seemed to be counterattacking her thoughts exponentially and she couldn't get rid of it.
So, what is the use of the second strand of totem source energy?
"Drink tea!"
"Oh!"
Li Xingluo took the teacup in a daze and accidentally touched Qin Muye's hand. He quickly pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.
Qin Muye asked: "I see you seem to be in a hurry, what's the matter?"
Li Xingluo didn't think twice and said, "Heal the master!"
Qin Muye: "Ah?"
No!
Do you want to help me cure my illness too?
I know you refined the totem source energy last night.
If someone doesn’t know, they would think you have refined some amazing medicine!
Li Xingluo: “…”
She shook her head quickly: "It was a slip of the tongue! Actually, there is nothing serious. I just went to the Princess's residence to get something. The Princess told me that the master went to ask for someone this morning. I was afraid that the master would be waiting anxiously, so I hurried over."
"Oh, like this……"
Qin Muye nodded, and the embarrassment seemed to be resolved.
But Qin Muye still had his legs crossed.
Li Xingluo also kept his legs tightly together, looking very restrained.
After a while.
Qin Muye calmly put down his crossed legs and said with a smile: "What kind of treatment did you receive in the Emperor's Mansion before?"
Li Xingluo felt his mind cleared up a bit, and his expression became natural again. He took out the answer he had prepared long ago: "My Lord! I didn't get any treatment in the Princess's Mansion before, but my mentor had a good relationship with the former queen, so he asked the Princess and I to help each other.
Whenever she had work to do, I would take some time to help her and get some money for it.
When I have no work to do, I practice on my own.
Don't worry, my lord. I am easy to take care of."
What it means is that when there is no work, I won’t show up.
It’s quite well written.
Qin Muye thought about it, took out a box from under the bed, and put it in front of Li Xingluo: "Take this money. You can come to help me when I need something in the future. You can estimate the wages yourself and deduct them from the money. After deduction, just come to me directly and that's it."
Li Xingluo looked at the small box of spirit stones and was a little surprised: "My Lord, so many..."
Qin Muye smiled and said, "You are worth it! Besides, I am his majesty's man now, and his majesty has money!"
"In that case, I would be disrespectful!"
Li Xingluo accepted the box generously, thinking that the son of the Marquis of Zhennan had indeed been underestimated in the past.
Putting aside the perfect execution of the mission in the secret realm.
The quality of generosity alone is something many people will never learn in their entire lives.
If my guess is correct, he asked Taoist Kongxu to wash away the mark in the spirit core in the morning, probably to give them to these Annan guards.
In addition, there were two other heroic deeds: the prince donated his marrow and went alone to the Honglu Court.
Even if Qin Mingri tried his best, he probably wouldn't be able to snatch the title of "Crown Prince".
And see what Li Hong means.
It is very likely that he will also be allowed to control the trade in the southwest.
It seemed as if he wanted to train him to be the new helmsman of the Qin family.
At the same time, he also tacitly agreed to continue staying with Qin Muye as "Wu Lu".
The attitude...seems to be very firm.
So, am I really overthinking?
"Lord!"
Li Xingluo said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do in the future? Can you tell me in advance? If there is anything I don't know, I will learn it as soon as possible."
Qin Muye smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing more than negotiating the trade. But I think your majesty wants me to continue to cause trouble for those evil officials after I have secured my position as Shaoqing. Do you dare?"
"If my lord dares, I dare!"
"it is good!"
Qin Muye was very pleased: "It happens that I will be discussing trade with envoys from various countries in three days. You can follow me then. I have strong diplomatic skills, and I believe you can learn a lot from me."
Li Xingluo: “…”
It’s time to say it or not.
If scolding others is considered a diplomatic ability, then Qin Muye's diplomatic ability is indeed not weak.
She nodded solemnly: "Okay! I will definitely follow you, my lord, and watch and learn well!"
Qin Muye stood up and asked, "By the way, where do you live?"
"I usually practice in the mountains in the eastern suburbs, and occasionally come to the city to purchase goods."
"That's perfect. I have a courtyard vacated in Zhennan Mansion. Whenever you come to the city, you can stay at home."
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Come with me!"
Qin Muye stood up and took Li Xingluo out. He called all the maids who could be called, cleaned the yard in the southeast of the mansion for her, and arranged for the purchases.
Zhennan Prefecture was originally not small. It was granted by the emperor when Qin Kaijiang was appointed as the Jiedushi of Annan.
However, the Qin family later moved to the southwest, and no one lived there until Qin Muye and Qin Yanying came to Beijing.
We live a very energy-saving and emission-reducing life.
The number of maids and servants was barely enough to keep the mansion from falling into disrepair.
But now that Qin Muye has become the emperor's lackey, his quality of life has improved.
It is no problem to arrange a yard for Li Xingluo.
Li Xingluo was also very satisfied with the courtyard, but he certainly did not continue to live there. He found an excuse and returned to the Princess's Mansion.
After all, as a princess of a country, she has too many things to deal with. How can she live in Zhennan Mansion every day?
Qin Muye didn't expose her either.
After all, the last imperial examination of all races was equivalent to a big advertisement for the puppets of the Princess Palace.
Today's orders must have exploded, so she has to go back and deal with them.
It looks like she works for herself.
In fact, I work for her.
I've been busy again during this period.
Qin Muye stretched himself and decided to work tomorrow. Today...
He quickly ran to his room and found Bai Yuji lying on her side on the bed.
He tiptoed over, lifted the quilt and lay down behind her.
"Is the business done?"
"Ok!"
"Are you still angry?"
"Ok!"
"So... do you still want to continue?"
"of course."
"All right!"
Bai Yuji bit her lip, shrank her body downward, and wanted to turn around.
Qin Muye held her shoulders, his chest pressed tightly against her back, and whispered in her ear, "Let's continue like this?"
Bai Yuji turned around and said, "You obviously wanted that, why did you suddenly stop wanting it?"
Qin Muye whispered, "I hope you do this because you like it, not because you want to atone for your sins."
"Bah! Who would like this?"
"As long as you love someone enough, you will definitely like him."
"I do not believe!"
"Then I'll make you believe it."
"what?"
Bai Yuji cried out in surprise and quickly hugged his head, his voice trembling: "You, don't do this..."
Qin Muye asked back: "Don't you believe it?"
"I, I believe it. Is it not enough for me to believe it?"
Bai Yuji's heartbeat was extremely rapid, and she said in panic: "But this is really too abrupt, I can't accept it now."
Qin Muye nodded helplessly: "Okay! Let's take a nap then."
"Wait, it's already a nap?" "What else do you want to do?"
"me……"
"what happened to you?"
"I think……"
"You still want to atone for your sins?"
"Not atonement!"
Bai Yuji knew that there were some things she couldn't say, so she kissed his Adam's apple directly.
When you kiss.
She herself couldn't tell whether it was because of atonement or because of love.
……
A long time, a long time.
Bai Yuji half-closed her eyes, leaned on Qin Muye's shoulder, and said in a dreamy voice: "Be more restrained in the future, your body..."
Qin Muye turned his head and said, "No? You took the initiative this time. You asked me to control myself?"
"You should learn to say no to me."
"..."
Qin Muye curled his lips: "Are you still double-standard? You have no self-control, no self-control. You are so beautiful, how can I be self-controlled?"
As he said that, he was ready to push her away a little to take a better look.
Bai Yuji was most afraid of him staring at her at this time, so she stuck close to him.
My cheeks were burning, but I felt a little secretly happy in my heart.
She bit her lip and said, "After a while, I may have to give you strong medicine to treat you. By then, your cultivation should be greatly improved, but your body will also be very agitated. Then, then you..."
Qin Muye became interested: "What kind of powerful medicine is it?"
Seeing that he was attracted by this topic, Bai Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and slowly explained: "The most basic function of blood Gu is to retain and refine blood. Before Nanzhao was destroyed, it often stored the surplus blood from civilians to treat the wounded who lost too much blood on the battlefield.
However, this method should not be used too often. External blood and energy are not harmful to ordinary people.
However, once a practitioner's blood and qi become mixed, it will easily affect his future practice.
People like you with weak blood and marrow are more likely to be overtaken by the enemy, so I can only use blood Gu to help you retain the blood and energy that may be lost.
In fact, this limitation is because the blood parasite cannot completely remove impurities in the blood.
As long as the blood parasite can be transformed into a holy item, the impurities can be completely removed and even refined into its original blood marrow.
In the secret realm, didn't I ask you to help collect the blood of the fierce beasts? "
"hold head high!"
Qin Muye's eyes lit up: "You are planning to use the blood of the beast to replenish my blood marrow. Will this turn me into a half-demon?"
Bai Yuji shook her head: "Don't worry! In the Nanzhao's "Heavenly Gu Secret Book", there are very detailed records about the mutual restraint of the bloodlines of various races. As long as we control the timing and let them devour each other, they will turn into pure energy.
However, during the time when they are devouring each other, the demon blood has not yet disappeared, and your body will be very restless.
As long as this period of time passes, you will be able to recover as before, and you can even secretly learn many of the demon race’s innate magic spells.”
"How long will this period last?"
"do not know……"
Bai Yuji no longer dared to think about it.
Newlyweds.
Eat the marrow to know the taste.
Now Qin Muye will ask for help whenever he gets the chance.
By the time……
Qin Muye felt her heart beating fast and curled his lips: "It's okay, I will control myself when the time comes."
"Why did you restrain yourself then?"
"I hope my impulse towards you comes from love, not drugs."
"!!!"
Bai Yuji suddenly felt very ashamed, and at the same time, an indescribable joy lingered in her heart.
Qin Muye didn't say anything nonsense.
He really didn't like mating like wild animals.
What's the point of having your mind dominated and ruthlessly driven into action?
Honey mixed with oil is the best way, right?
He hugged Bai Yuji and began to ponder the value of this holy blood Gu.
Logically speaking, if she can improve her own cultivation in this way, she can also improve the cultivation of others.
It is indeed a good method.
But it is difficult to affect the overall situation.
Just a group of experts cannot affect the overall situation at all.
Like Li Hong, he doesn't even care whether there are more big monsters. His pattern is obviously much bigger.
But you can't compare it that way.
One is the monarch of the prosperous Daqian, and the other is a princess of a destroyed country.
The situations of both parties are at two extremes. It would be strange if they think about the problem from the same angle.
Anyway, put Qin Muye in Bai Yuji's position.
Apart from squeezing the son of the Marquis of Zhennan dry and holding on to the means of killing Qin Kaijiang, he could not think of any other way to turn the situation around.
Think about this.
He kissed Bai Yuji on the forehead.
Bai Yuji was shocked, thinking that he was going to do something harmful again.
But Qin Muye said seriously: "Except for the Juncai Feast later, you should not go out these days, just stay at home with me, especially don't meet the Baiyue gang, do you hear me?"
"why?"
"Because only in this way can I strive for the greatest benefit for your people."
"...How big is it?"
"Very big!"
"!"
……
night.
An unprecedented grand banquet was held in the Imperial Garden.
The so-called Juncai Banquet is a welcoming banquet held by the emperor for new talents after the imperial examination every year.
Only the top three in the civil examination and the top 100 in the military examination could participate.
Li Hong seemed particularly happy today and promised many official positions on the spot.
However, these official positions are only awarded to the top 25 in the martial arts examination, and this ranking is entirely based on breaking jade plates and hunting ferocious beasts.
The geniuses of the demon race wasted a lot of time on the totem source energy, so there are only a few who are ranked in the top twenty-five.
On the contrary, Qin Muye, with his one hundred puppets, achieved many victories and firmly secured the top spot.
From start to finish.
Li Hong praised him endlessly and also directly announced that he would officially take up the post of Right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from today onwards.
This made the evil officials feel annoyed.
An Nanwei, who was shortlisted, was laughing so hard that Qin Mingri felt jealous.
As for the commoner candidates who had benefited from Qin Muye, after Li Hong left the stage, they simply came to toast him, not sparing any words of gratitude. Qin Muye also directly attributed the credit to the princess.
It seems that they are helping the Princess Party to recruit people.
The young man from aristocratic family saw this with twitching mouth corners, but he could do nothing about it.
They could only sigh that they were lucky, because as long as they performed well in the Imperial College, they could at least stay in Beijing to work, or go to the local area and start directly as a top leader like a county magistrate.
Many of them have heard about it, and each family is discussing whether or not to support the prince in carrying out the "reform of the recommendation official system."
If I choose to be a recommended official, I will have to be sent to a remote area to be a teacher.
This imperial examination.
It was a terrible loss.
After the Juncai Banquet, it would take another three days before one could report for work and enroll in the Imperial College.
Many people invited Qin Muye to tour the capital at night, but Bai Yuji refused them all on the grounds that he needed to recuperate.
Then the two of them got on the carriage back to Zhennan Prefecture.
……
In a teahouse between the Imperial Palace and Zhennan Prefecture.
Xu Yuyao looked at the carriage slowly passing by under the window, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
Then he closed the window and looked at He Xifeng across from him: "Great Elder, I have contacted Yu Ji many times today, why has she not responded?"
He Xifeng smiled and said, "The princess must have her own considerations!"
Xu Yuyao didn't say anything.
The current dominant power is completely out of their hands.
Last night, Luo Cheng spent a lot of money to invite Jin Ni, hoping that the evil official would defend his own interests within the Qian Kingdom.
As a result, Jin Ni just made some nodding responses and did not send any more messages after he returned. It was obvious that he was not going to lose face for the imperial examination.
In other words.
Now the initiative is completely in the hands of the Qian Kingdom court, and the surrounding countries can only compete for market share honestly.
But in this kind of situation, the most frightening thing is to compare yourself with others.
Thus.
Baiyue is actually the one that suffers the most.
Because of Xu Yuyao's brother-in-law Qin Muye, the "Dai" in "Dai Shaoqing" has been removed, which is undoubtedly a considerable advantage.
So Xu Yuyao and Luo Cheng were not in a bad mood.
But they didn't expect that they had been trying to contact Bai Yuji all day but didn't get any response.
Looking at the smile on He Xifeng's face.
Xu Yuyao couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and her face darkened: "Great Elder, I have helped you a lot in the past, right? This time it's your turn to help me, why..."
He Xifeng quickly said, "Don't worry, Miss. The princess will definitely be on your side."
"Towards me? Not necessarily!"
Xu Yuyao snorted softly: "I see her going out with Qin Muye all day long, her complexion is getting rosier day by day, their married life is really sweet!"
"The princess said that Qin Yanying, as an elder, must see Luohong the next day."
"Do you need to see your bleeding several times a day?"
"..."
"Great Elder!"
Xu Yuyao shook her head and sighed, "I don't know if our plans can go smoothly if this continues. Great Elder, others may not know, but you must know how much pressure I am under.
The Queen of Baiyue is Siamese and has a bad relationship with Nanzhao. I have tried my best to protect our people.
Yu Ji found the precious blood Gu and the Secret Book of Heavenly Gu, and she just thought it was her good luck. Only you know how much effort I put into it. I don't want to put pressure on her, so I even asked you to secretly put it in the place where she wants to search.
Now our people are either living in the mountains or suffering in other countries. Without any external help, there is no hope of restoring our country.
It can be said.
Only when Baiyue is well, can Nanzhao be well.
But look at what Yu Ji is doing?
They completely refused to communicate with us about the share of this trade.
Although the blood Gu has the hope of being promoted to a holy product, looking at how affectionate she is with Qin Muye, do you think she would be willing to use the blood in her belly to refine the Gu and kill Qin Kaijiang?
If Qin was not killed and the borders were not expanded, how could the Qian Kingdom be in chaos?
If the state of Qian is not in chaos, how can the Baiyue be strong?
If Baiyue is not strong, how can Nanzhao restore its country? "
He Xifeng: “…”
The smile on her face slowly faded.
Take a deep breath: "Big girl, tell me what I should do?"
