Chapter 679 Spending a lot of money to find a son
Chapter 679 Spending a lot of money to find a son
The buildings are connected, and the silvery moonlight layered on the glazed tiles looks like sea waves.
Orange-yellow lanterns hung from the eaves, shrouded in warm and luxurious light, plunging the entire palace into a warm and soft atmosphere.
The square was spotless, without a trace of the fighting that occurred during the day.
The Imperial Music Commissioner ordered the performance of "Showa".
The Holy Emperor raised the wine, and all the ministers drank together.
Afterwards, hundreds of palace maids dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes came out from behind the curtains and beat thunder drums. The solemn atmosphere instantly collapsed, and it became more light and lively.
Liang Qu slept until dusk, put on loose clothes and rushed to the banquet with the Tianyu Guards. The bitter smell of medicine was still on his body, but being hungry for a day did not affect his appetite at all.
During the banquet.
Hot mist rising.
An envoy from a small country whose name could not be told performed a dance, which then sparked a fierce competition.
Envoys from various countries were not willing to be outdone and jumped out one after another.
You wouldn't know his talents until you show them. Once they do, you'll be shocked. They're so varied. Some play music, some dance, some sing. He doesn't know how to do anything, but he still insists on shaking his arms, which is embarrassing.
Batu, the envoy from Beiting, was also sitting at the table. He silently stretched out his chopsticks and would raise his glass when he saw something funny, as if what happened during the day had never happened. However, no smart person would go up to him at this time to bring bad luck.
The wolf suffered a temporary defeat and it was not the rabbit's turn to comfort him.
Apart from this, the rest of the contestants were also present, but the scenery was different.
The medicinal materials from the Imperial Hospital and the healing methods from Tianshui Chaolu worked together.
Liang Qu had almost recovered, but Harukhan was still wrapped in bandages. He opened the leg of lamb and cleaned it with his wounds.
Although they both entered the Imperial Medical Service, the medicines they used were different.
"Your appetite is still so good after losing the fight?" Meng Qiang saw Harukhan eating a sheep in several bites, and his own appetite seemed to improve.
"What the commander said is true. Eat when you are hungry and drink water when you are thirsty. You have already lost. How can you teach people not to eat? This is just a punishment for children."
"Indeed." Meng Qiang put down his chopsticks, "Raise your glasses! This is a great year! We should celebrate!"
"Come on, come on!"
Everyone raised their hands high, and foam fell.
New Year.
Liang Qu looked outside the hall.
Silver clouds spread across the night sky, stars were everywhere, and brilliant fire trees rose up little by little.
……
The next day.
Before dawn, New Year's firecrackers woke people up from their sleep, and energetic children ran from one end of the street to the other.
The fat catfish and the other animals ran off to make some fun.
Taotao practiced handstand in the courtyard and studied and practiced diligently.
Liang Qu dressed neatly and prepared to "take a bath" in the palace as instructed yesterday.
Before he could leave, the servant arranged by Xu Wenzhu came in and said that someone wanted to see him.
"Who's coming?"
"They are said to be envoys from the Ba Kingdom and the Loulan Kingdom. They all have big beards and their voices smell like pepper. Would you like to meet them, sir?"
Envoy?
Liang Qu was puzzled.
What did the envoy from another country want to see him for so early in the morning?
Calculating the time, there is still fifteen minutes left for us to meet.
"Let them in."
A few moments.
Two bearded men each led two women, a total of six people, into the hall.
Liang Qu looked up and down and felt that the face was very familiar. After a little recollection, he suddenly remembered it.
Last night, these two people were dancing in public!
The envoy from Ba was so happy that he accidentally kicked over a wine jug.
Long Yao served tea.
The two of them thanked him repeatedly, took a sip, and exclaimed that it was a fragrant and delicious tea.
With the "stereotype" of last night, Liang Qu found such compliments more and more funny.
"You two envoys have come all the way to Dashun. This is a rare opportunity. Why don't you go and enjoy the scenery and people of Dashun? Instead, why do you come to find a small water official like me? If it involves foreign affairs, you should find an official from the Honglu Temple. I can't help you at all."
"Lord Liang has misunderstood." The Loulan envoy hurriedly put down his teacup and saluted, "This matter cannot be handled by you alone!"
"It has to be me?" Liang Qu was surprised. The two looked at each other, and then turned around to let the woman behind them take off her scarf, and a faint fragrance spread.
"What do you think of this woman, sir?"
"What do you think of the woman who poured tea for you just now?" Liang Qu asked back.
"Forehead……"
Liang Qu was dissatisfied with the two envoys' beating around the bush and not talking about serious matters: "Wait another quarter of an hour, I will enter the palace, the two envoys may as well speak clearly about what you want to say."
"Master Liang, please don't be angry. To be honest, the two of us came here today... to pray for a child."
"Pray for a child?" Liang Qu was stunned. "Pray for what child?"
The Loulan envoy caught a woman and talked to her: "Look, sir, this woman is called... She is still a virgin and has a natural body fragrance..."
Talk for a long time.
Liang Qu finally understood.
The son of offspring!
The shadow on his face gradually deepened.
Across from Loulan, the envoys from the State of Ba were unaware of what was happening and continued to talk freely and speak in high praises.
Yesterday, the two of them attended the Yuanzheng Grand Court Meeting as envoys, and saw the fight between Liang Qu and Harukhan very clearly.
fierce!
So fierce!
Not like an ordinary person, but like a god!
The reincarnation of the Naiman king was defeated.
What a strong body and what an extraordinary martial spirit!
An eighteen-year-old martial arts master is unheard of, so how powerful would his offspring be?
Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix.
Not everyone in the Naiman tribe is a foot tall. There is a Harukhan, a martial saint, every two or three decades. But the rest of the Naiman male nobles are also far taller than ordinary people. Each of them is a brave warrior who can defeat ten people at once!
A rare opportunity.
Save seeds!
Must save seeds!
We must bring the talents of Dashun geniuses to Loulan/Ba!
If he could inherit two or three tenths of Liang Qu's skills, even if he didn't expect to become a Martial Saint in the future, at least one or two more Grandmasters would be precious treasures!
As for the woman herself, she had no objection.
She was originally a dancer brought as tribute to the princes and nobles of Dashun. Liang Qu is young, strong and handsome. If she gets pregnant and is brought back to her country, it will be a step up to success. Isn't it better than letting her accompany an old man?
Just be happy in secret!
After talking to himself for a while, it seemed that he finally saw that Liang Qu was in a bad mood. The envoy of Ba State quickly pointed out the key point: "Sir Liang, it's not in vain. One hundred thousand taels!"
"One hundred thousand taels?"
The Loulan envoy added: "If the baby is not pregnant, it will be 100,000 taels. If the baby is pregnant, it will be doubled to 200,000 taels. If both babies are pregnant, it will be 500,000 taels. Of course, Lord Liang is young and strong, so if all four babies are pregnant, it will be 1 million taels! If the baby is born successfully in the future, another 50,000 taels will be added for each baby!"
"..."
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Inside the palace.
Meng Qiang and others laughed wildly after hearing Liang Qu's reason for being late, and they were so happy that they couldn't even straighten their backs.
"One hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand taels at a time, that's a good thing! Do you agree?"
"How is that possible? I chased them away."
"I heard that the Imperial Stables have a breed of big stallions that are not used for riding, but for breeding. Every time they are bred, they must be well fed and served. If someone from outside were to bred, the prize would be more than several thousand taels. You, hahahaha, cough cough cough, I can't take it anymore, I got a stitch in the side."
"I heard that the successful Jinshi, the 28 constellations, went to visit brothels without paying. Liang Hengwei is far better than that."
"Not only do I not need any money, I can't even save up one million even if I get paid for a hundred years."
After yesterday's battle.
Tianyuwei and Liangqu have a much closer relationship, and their words are full of jokes.
Meng Qiang put his arm around Liang Qu's shoulders, full of sarcasm: "Why didn't Lieutenant Liang Heng agree? Good thing, if it's my turn, I'll earn this hundred taels, oh, one million taels!"
"It's a pity that Yuan Yuwen didn't catch up with this good thing in his early years, otherwise he could have earned 10 million."
"It is possible that Loulan of Ba State will change his surname from now on!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and get going."
Liang Qu was speechless about what happened today.
The country may not have a large territory, but it has a rich imagination.
Everyone laughed at him for a while, Meng Qiang suppressed his smile and straightened up: "Eunuch Li, where are we going to take a bath?"
"Your Majesty has already arranged everything for the top floor of Moon Watching Tower."
