Chapter 618: The Most Fortunate Emperor

d, "You really gained a lot of face this time, actually getting Shi Liyuan to let me come back with you." 。She cast glances behind her as she walked, the palace was in that direction. 。I don't know if...The carriage is definitely off, and the smell coming from it is also off. 。By now, it's technically past the time when city gates should be open. Those who need to enter and those who need to leave would have to wait outside the gate until the designated time for passage. 。But this carriage was able to travel on the main street inside Lin'an City at this hour. It must have entered the city before nightfall last night, or it had the gates opened and the guards willingly let it pass. 。Ye Fei Zhou said, "I didn't enter the city last night, not even the outer city." 。The wheels were covered in mud, though the scent of spices masked the earthy smell. The mud was still wet, showing that they had only just entered the city, even after passing through the outer city walls. They hadn't managed to shake off all the mud yet. 。This carriage is unusual, and I've never heard of any official residence in Lin'an City that uses such golden gauze curtains. 。Moreover, such colors were unaffordable for commoners; they were only dared to be used by royalty and nobility. 。He was speaking, turned his head to look at Quan Qingyun, Quan Qingyun shook his head, “Not from the imperial family” 。"

That's strange. " 。Ye Fei Zhou lowered the curtain, two cars brushed past each other, only the heavy fragrance remained in the car. 。

Quan Qingcheng was utterly bewildered. As a mute in the past, he rarely left the palace and had little knowledge of the outside world. Even after becoming emperor and studying day and night, he had no idea what this carriage was.

He was very discouraged and lowered his head sheepishly, saying that he couldn't offer any advice. 。Neither did anyone make things difficult for him, Ye Fei Zhou continued, "This spice has a very special flavor, it's clearly not something commonly used by people from Bei Qi, or even something made by people from the Central Plains..." 。If I'm not mistaken, this spice should come from Suyuan. Only the people of Suyuan are most particular about spices and have their own roasting methods. The smell when it burns is also different from ours. 。"Yes, it's Su Yuan," 。I don't have much contact with Su Yuan from Bei Qi. Firstly, Su Yuan is located in a remote area bordering the desert. Although they can find resources like gems there, Bei Qi has also tried to explore it before. People sent from our side never had any clue about what was going on there. 。Not to mention finding jewels, even distinguishing directions in the desert would be a problem. 。And their spices, not all the people of Suyuan make them. 。Suyuan's spice craft was concentrated in the royal court. There was a specialized group of people within the palace who made spices, and this knowledge was passed down through generations from father to son. All the transmission took place within the palace walls. Once someone learned this craft, that artisan could never leave the palace for the rest of their life. 。So even if people from other countries try their best, they still can't get their skills. 。"Night Fei Zhou continued, “The common people of Su Yuan also make spices. Though they aren't as skilled as the palace artisans, their methods are still more advanced than those used in Bei Qi.” 。Therefore, there were often caravans traveling between the Northern Qi and Western Regions. They would use goods from our side to trade for spices, gems, and their dyed fabrics. 。Actually, for the Suyuan people, the textile crafts we practice here are something they can't learn. Therefore, the Suyuan people don't prevent bartering within the community, as it benefits everyone involved. 。He continued speaking and looked out again, the carriage was already far away. 。"I just don't know why the Suyuan people suddenly arrived in Lin'an City. When did they enter Bei Qi Have we heard any news about this" This was addressed to Quan Qingyun, who shook his head after hearing it, "No news." 。"After I said it, I felt something was off. After all, with a carriage this big, the scent of spices couldn't possibly be concealed from everyone." 。It would take three to four months to travel from Suyuan to Lin'an City. Could the people of Suyuan have deceived everyone He thought about this and suddenly let out a cold smile, then said: "I'm afraid someone already knew the news, but they kept it a secret." 。Everyone knows who he's talking about. In today's Northern Qi, the person with the second most power after the Emperor is not Emperor Quan Qingcheng, but the Regent King Quan Ji. 。Although Quanji has been low-key in recent months due to the continuous suppression by Ye Wen, his influence built over many years cannot be affected by a few months of pressure. 。Conversely, many of his forces were located outside Lin'an, and Ye Wen's reach had not extended that far. 。So, it was only the Regent who could have made So Yuan's journey to Kyoto go unnoticed. 。Turn around and go back to the palace. 。“It's not appropriate to go out to the mountains at this time,” Quan Qingyun decided for Quan Qingcheng. 。He glanced at Lian Shi, and said, “But Grandmaster Lian can still look for the Emperor’s help. After all, you are people of the Yanhu Palace. According to the regulations of Beiji, even if there is a major incident on the imperial court side, the Yanhu Palace has no obligation to assist.” 。The Emperor's authority encompasses the entire world, not just our North Qi. 。So even if father-in-law wants to go out of the city, we can unload one horse. 。After he finished speaking with Lian Shi, he turned his gaze to Yun Chen, "Yun DaRen can also go together with Lian GongGong." 。Yun Chen glanced at Lian Shi, clearly expecting him to make a decision. 。Then he waved his hand and said: “If I hadn’t seen the carriage, it wouldn’t have mattered. Since I saw it, there’s no need to rush out of the city at this crucial moment.” 。If the Suyuan people dare to enter Lin'an's inner city, they will surely enter the palace. Our family will go back with you. The Yanhuagong not caring about court affairs was in the past. Now... forget it, I think even Emperor Zun now won't really bear the heart to do nothing. 。You guys are so lucky. The Emperor has lived for over four hundred years and never got close to anyone, but now I can see it, he truly cares about all of you and is willing to help when needed. 。 。Of course, all credit goes to Miss Ye Si. You should thank Miss Ye Si!

He lifted the curtain and urged the palace maids outside, "Turn around, return to the palace!"

Quan Qingcheng sniffed his nose and wiped away a tear, "Sister has been so good to me, I don't know how to repay her for a lifetime>>>" 。" The best way you can repay her is to be a good emperor and rule Bei Qi well. " 。I don't expect you to govern better than Father Emperor, but at least don't let Northern Qi regress. 。Of course, if you have a conscience and ambition, you should go even further than your father. 。After all, the Emperor originally didn't expect anything from the Divine Emperor, nor did he have a sister who would become Empress. 。“ I'll definitely do my best, Third Brother. Don't worry. Even if I can't do it now, I'll be able to do it in the future.” 。I have been learning a lot of things. Last night, I only slept for one hour and kept reading articles all night. 。Although I haven't taken office yet, I believe that as long as I continue to work hard, by the time I assume office, I won't know nothing and won't be able to do anything. 。And the Empyrean Lord has agreed to take me as his disciple. After the Hua Palace banquet ends, besides attending court every day, I will be at the Hua Palace learning from the Empyrean Lord. Even if my third brother doesn't believe me, he should believe the Empyrean Lord. 。“

Quan Qingyun took a deep breath, looking at his younger brother with envy, and sighed helplessly: “How much I resented you for ascending to this throne in the past, now I am just as convinced that you should be the one sitting on it.” 。

Quingcheng, you're truly blessed. No wonder Father bestowed the throne upon you instead of the sixth brother or any of us.

Only someone with your physique, capable of attracting an Emperor and Empress, would emerge from our Quan family after centuries. 。As it turns out, everything happens for a reason. Every arrangement made by Heaven is logical and meaningful. 。" He patted Qian Qingcheng's shoulder, "Just be steady and learn well from the Emperor, learn well from the Empress. Listen to whatever they say, ask if you don't understand." 。Whether I can make further progress in the Northern Qi Dynasty, it all depends on you. 。But... you just said that the imperial banquet at Yanhu Palace... now that Su Yuan has entered Kyoto, I'm afraid this banquet will be even more lively. 。The palanquin chose another route into the palace, avoiding Su Yuanren's carriage and heading straight for Chao Feng Gate. 。As no one had time to return home, they decided to follow along to the palace. 。Quan Qingcheng entered the palace from Zhaofeng Gate and went straight to Chengguang Hall. Quan Qingyun accompanied him and stayed in Chengguang Hall. 。Zhui'er and Yefei Zhou were then brought to Yanhuagong by Lian Shi, and she left a message for Wu Fu, saying that if anything happened here, they could seek help at Yanhuagong. 。

Just as Quan Qingcheng had not even had time to settle into his new position, a palace servant came running in and announced: "Prince Su Yuan has arrived at the palace gate!"

At that moment, on the outskirts of the capital, within the mountainous region, Ye Wenyan looked at the bare mountains and asked Shi Linyuan, "Isn't removing all the flowers a bit too obvious In this scorching summer, every mountain looks like it has been shorn, not a single blade of grass left. Won't people be afraid passing by"

Shi Linyuan was puzzled, "What are they afraid of The fact that the mountains are bare means there are no flowers growing. What's there to fear about that"

"But yesterday the mountains were covered in flowers! If someone saw these mountains yesterday and sees them again today, they will definitely notice something unusual..."

I'm afraid of causing panic among the people. If I make up any more stories about beasts that eat mountains, things will get out of hand. 。Shi Liyuan thought for a moment, nodded, then raised his hand and cast a disorienting spell. 。Just now, the mountain was bare. Now it's covered in flowers and grasses, but they are all fake. Even the bees find them disgusting. 。Night Wen Yan chuckled twice, shaking his storage bracelet with a satisfied face. "I feel incredibly wealthy," he said, "because I've never had this many flower reserves all at once." 。In the past, where I came from, it wasn't convenient to cultivate and harvest on such a large scale, so the amount of fresh flowers I could store was limited. 。But on the other hand, it seems there wasn't much opportunity to use flowers in that era. Conversely, here I must always be prepared with them, ready to face a possible disaster at any moment. 。She rattled her bangles again, “Now that there are so many flowers here, facing the catastrophe our confidence has increased by a few points.” 。" >Third Prince is my elder brother from a different mother." 。You don't have to be afraid, I brought you out here so I will take responsibility for you. At least I won't throw you out like your aunt and...
