Chapter 165 The Voice of Chanting
After making love, Lan Qingwu fell softly into the arms of Emperor Shenwu. Emperor Shenwu gently stroked her lower abdomen, and the two of them embraced each other tenderly.
After a moment, Lan Qingwu whispered softly in the Shenwu Emperor's ear: "Brother Heng, I felt the fetus move today. This is the first time I greet you!"
The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes lit up: "Really? Let me hear it!"
Emperor Shenwu felt strange and excited. He and his weak biological child were growing up little by little. He put his ear to Lan Qingwu's belly and listened quietly to the movements of the child in her belly.
Lan Qingwu smiled, and suddenly thought of her gradually getting older, and the Godly Emperor...
Emperor Shenwu listened for a moment, and the baby stayed quietly in its mother's belly.
Lan Qingwu said with some worry: "Your Majesty..."
Emperor Shenwu raised his head and held Lan Qingwu in his arms again: "What's wrong?"
Lan Qingwu leaned in his arms: "Brother Heng, my weak body will become heavier in the future, so you..."
Emperor Shenwu was slightly puzzled: "Hmm?"
Lan Qingwu lowered his voice: "Then what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
Lan Qingwu whispered in the Shenwu Emperor's ear, then lowered his eyes: "Weiwei is afraid of wronging Brother Heng."
Emperor Shenwu whispered something in Lan Qingwu's ear, and Lan Qingwu's face instantly turned red. She buried herself shyly in Emperor Shenwu's arms and dared not look up.
Emperor Shenwu leaned over again, teasing Lan Qingwu slowly and leisurely...
The night was long, and the shadows of the two people overlapped again on the gauze curtain...
The outer hall of Miaoling Palace is the residence of all officials.
In Leng Qujing's dormitory, Leng Qujing had already fallen asleep. Outside him, Yu Piaolan gently opened her eyes.
This time, Leng Qujing came to Miaoling Palace to escape the summer heat, and he only brought Madam Leng and himself.
Yu Piaolan quietly looked at Leng Qujing's sleeping profile, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Perhaps in the second half of her life, when she is wandering and suffering, she can finally find someone she can rely on.
Yu Piaolan leaned quietly into Leng Qujing's arms. Leng Qujing seemed to sense something and stretched out his arms to hold Yu Piaolan in his arms. Yu Piaolan felt more at ease and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The envoys from the Northern Nar tribe had not yet left the imperial city. They followed Emperor Shenwu to the Miaoling Palace.
Because of this, King Kang did not dare to neglect Uryuji. It was not because he was concerned about the small Beinar tribe, but because he was worried about Emperor Shenwu. The emperor had just given him Uryuji, and he did not dare to come to Miaoling Palace without Uryuji. Otherwise, the emperor would think that he was dissatisfied with the emperor's will. If he failed to appease the tribes on the grassland, it would be his fault.
And that person... The emperor cherishes that person so much, how could he tolerate his covetousness?
King Kang returned to his palace. There was no one on the bed in the bedroom, but there was a jade cage on the ground next to the bed. The jade cage woman, Wuer Yuji, was curled up in the jade cage, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer in fear.
She thought that with her peerless beauty, she would stay in the palace and become a favored concubine. When she received the supreme favor of His Majesty Dasheng, she would surely achieve her goal step by step.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she was given to His Royal Highness Prince Kang, who was famous in the imperial city for his cynicism. It just so happened that the Beinar delegation had previously handled things poorly, and Wuzhina didn't even dare to ask His Majesty Dasheng a single question! It had ruined her...
Wuer Yuji recalled the first day she arrived at Prince Kang's mansion. Prince Kang approached her with a gloomy face. A moment later, he roughly dragged her out of the jade cage. In her panic, Prince Kang said gloomily, "She truly has a body of ice and jade, born to serve men! I just don't know what to expect!"
The brutality and abuse shown by King Kang that day were deeply etched in Wuer Yuji's mind. King Kang did not stop her from taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician sent by His Majesty the Great Sheng, and Wuer Yuji continued to take it. From her initial resistance, she had now adapted to the bitter black medicine in just a few days.
Wuer Yuji listened anxiously as the footsteps approached her jade cage.
King Kang's gloomy voice came: "Climb out by yourself!"
Within two days, the emperor finally made a decision on the rebellious poetry case that had been a hot topic in the court for several days.
In the dungeon, Elder Shi Binyuan and Lan Shuren were stunned when they heard the imperial edict. Shi Binyuan asked, "Your Majesty wants me and your disciple to travel around the country? To spread...your Majesty's wisdom?"
Master Lin Suzhi nodded solemnly: "Master, His Majesty said that since writing poems and lyrics has damaged His Majesty's reputation, then I will write more poems and lyrics to praise His Majesty's wisdom in various places until His Majesty is satisfied, and then I will end my travels."
Shi Binyuan gave Lan Shuren a barely perceptible glance and asked, "Master Lin, may I ask how my other student was handled?"
Lin Suzhi said, "Since Yu Huaian loves to copy other people's poems, His Majesty has punished him by sending him to the mines to dig and move stones. Oh, and all the accomplices who printed books and maliciously spread this rebellious poem have also been punished by His Majesty to go to the mines."
Shi Binyuan: “…”
With Yu Huaian's frail constitution, he would probably have lost his life within a few days of arriving at the mine. However, the emperor appeared to have let the matter go lightly. His students and the literati he knew would probably have marveled at the emperor's forgiveness and mercy.
As for Lan Shuren, it all depends on Your Majesty's wishes when his journey ends. However, next year will be the imperial examination held every three years. If Lan Shuren cannot take part in the imperial examination on time after so many years of hard work, it will be a huge blow to him.
Mr. Shi Binyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it possible for me to personally express my gratitude to Your Majesty?"
Lin Suzhi nodded and said, "Of course you can. Your Majesty regards Master Shi as a friend. He was even praising Master Shi's divine calligraphy to us before."
On the way to the inner hall of Miaoling Palace, Shi Binyuan seemed to ask Lan Shuren casually: "Mingzhi, are you willing to travel with Master?"
Lan Shuren was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this His Majesty's order? Lan Shuren said respectfully, "Disciple is willing to travel with Master."
Shi Binyuan shook his head and asked again, "Are you willing to travel with me?"
Lan Shuren finally understood this time and remained silent for a long time.
Shi Binyuan frowned slightly: "Why? Is there a reason why you must return to the Imperial City?"
The Blue Tree Man opened his mouth with difficulty: "Yes, Master, I must return to the Imperial City!"
I must take the imperial examination and be promoted to an official position! Not only for my mother, my adoptive father, myself, but also for... that person!
Emperor Shenwu was summoning royal relatives in the octagonal pavilion, including Prince Ding, Prince An, Prince Kang and others.
Lin Suzhi brought Shi Binyuan and Lan Shuren to the octagonal pavilion to meet Emperor Shenwu.
The three of them knelt and bowed, and the Emperor Shenwu called out repeatedly, "Master, please stand up. Someone, please take a seat!"
Shi Binyuan stood up calmly and said, "I didn't realize that Your Majesty was summoning the princes and dukes. I apologize for my rudeness. I have come here with my disciples to thank Your Majesty for your forgiveness."
The Emperor Shenwu glanced at Lan Shuren with his phoenix eyes. "It's not a big deal. I summoned the royal relatives only to discuss poetry and painting. Master Shi can give them some guidance."
Shi Binyuan hurriedly said he didn't dare.
Prince Ding had already stood up. He laughed heartily and said, "Your Majesty, I have long been acquainted with Master Shi's literary talent. Please allow me to learn from him."
Emperor Shenwu smiled without saying anything, allowing Prince Ding and Shi Binyuan to talk. In less than a moment, several royal relatives who loved poetry and painting had half-surrounded Shi Binyuan and were discussing his paintings.
King Kang watched indifferently from the side, thinking blankly about his own paintings.
But after a moment, King Kang suddenly opened his eyes slightly, as if it was an illusion, he seemed to hear the man's singing again. King Kang quietly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Shenwu, only to see that Emperor Shenwu also paused slightly, listening attentively to the low and beautiful singing voice.
In the Jingyou Pavilion not far away, there was only a wall separating them, but the beautiful singing could not be stopped and spread throughout half of the Miaoling Palace.
