No one could know what was on Gu Yuanbai's mind. No matter how much Li Anshun thought about it, he could not have imagined that the Emperor Daheng, who was graceful and noble on the surface, was already thinking about how to take the entire Western Xia for himself in his heart.
Li Angshun was originally full of resentment, now only feel looked at the skin hot, this embarrassing feeling, until he was eunuch led down to slowly dissipate.
When no one was around, Gu Yuanbai wiped his hands and asked, "Where is the Fusan emissary sitting?"
Tian Fusheng always felt as if His Holiness was paying special attention to the emissary coming from Fusang country, he whispered back, "Your Holiness, it's right at the bottom of the Western Xia emissary's head."
Gu Yuanbai raised his eyes to look, but unfortunately the distance was too far to see clearly. He had deliberately looked at the number of congratulatory gifts offered by the Fusang country, and among the several neighboring countries, the gifts sent by the Fusang country were one of the best.
Fusang has been a vassal of China since the Han Dynasty, and during the Tang Dynasty, it sent people to study in Tang in order to return home and develop its own power. After the Tang Dynasty changed hands, the dynasty changed several times to Daheng, and Fusang is still trying to maintain good relations with Daheng with great respect.
This country was undeniably special in Gu Yuanbai's eyes.
Gu Yuanbai retracted his eyes, but he detected a gaze from the left side, and with it, Prince He raised his cup towards Gu Yuanbai, who smiled and also raised his cup towards him.
The moment the white jade wine cup touched his lips, Gu Yuanbai's brows pressed together, and he abruptly remembered that the white jade cup he had previously lost seemed to have been taken away by Xue Yuan.
Thinking of Xue Yuan, Gu Yuanbai remembered those two wolves. He turned around and looked to the side, the two wolves had long been placed by specialized personnel, and were currently lying down in the middle of a hidden corner, devouring fresh raw meat.
Use it more flavorfully than I do.
Gu Yuanbai suddenly wanted to let out a cold snort as he turned his face away, putting his other thoughts aside for the time being, and began to use his meal in earnest as well.
After three rounds of drinking, the sky was already dark. After the banquet was over, the palace guards sent the hundred officials and messengers out, and Gu Yuanbai walked out of the palace to the imperial garden to get a breath of fresh air.
The moon hangs high in the sky, the breeze stirs, and the fragrance of flowers and plants floats and sinks.
Gu Yuanbai put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at the bright moon on the branch, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and when he looked sideways, he saw the Prince of Harmony, covered in the smell of alcohol, staggering and being helped by the eunuchs to walk over.
The eunuch who endeavored to support the Prince of Harmony said, "Your Holiness, the Prince of Harmony is drunk and is unwilling to leave the palace."
Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Prince He hiccuped, waved away the eunuchs around him and barely stood up straight, his eyes circled around and finally rested on Gu Yuanbai's. He glared and said, "You're not allowed to drive me back. Glaring, he said, "You're not allowed to drive me back."
Gu Yuanbai said, "This is how much you've drunk, smelling of alcohol all over."
The Prince of Harmony, however, was silent, and he only looked at Gu Yuanbai, as if he suddenly didn't recognize him.
Gu Yuanbai laughed, teasingly saying, "Why does Prince He have this expression, don't you recognize me?"
"You are the Emperor," the Prince of Peace said sullenly, one word at a time, "the Emperor, brother."
Gu Yuanbai answered with a nasal voice and said to the eunuch, "Take him to Huayi Palace to rest."
The eunuchs responded in unison.
Gu Yuanbai retracted his sight and continued to look at the bright moonlight, but Prince He was unwilling to leave, he stubbornly stood still and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Yuanbai ignored him.
The Prince of Harmony was unforgiving, "I called you, why didn't you answer?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to drunks." Gu Yuanbai said leisurely.
The Prince of Harmony said, "This king is not drunk."
Gu Yuanbai didn't hold back his laughter as he turned toward the palace attendant and said, "Why don't you take Prince He back?"
Palace guards surrounded the Prince of Harmony, whispering persuasion, hand tugging, half-soft half-hard want to take the Prince of Harmony to go. Prince He did not move, but could not resist the pulling of the bystanders. In the morning, he seemed to wake up, wiped his face and said, "I blow the wind, Your Majesty, let me blow the wind with you for a while."
It wasn't until Gu Yuanbai nodded that the palace guards surrounding Prince He retreated to the side. Gu Yuanbai strolled between the paths, the bright moon overhead following him.
The gentle white moonlight gently and softly scattered, everywhere is a layer of silver light of the snow fall.
The Prince of Harmony followed, walking, and was dizzy up, his feet began to be unsteady, passing a rockery, he suddenly tugged on Gu Yuanbai's hand, hard to pull the emperor immobile.
Gu Yuanbai frowned, "Gu Zhao."
The Prince of Harmony's breaths came in one after another, his five fingers contracted, and the smell of wine from his body drilled under Gu Yuanbai's nose. The palace man who fell far behind him was about to step forward when Prince He spoke, "Gu Convergence."
His voice was low, "Why don't you marry the palace consort."
Gu Yuanbai calmly returned, "I told you once that you wanted me to die in the palace consort's bed?"
"But you can't even fuck a woman," Prince He's head was also lowered, only clutching Gu Yuanbai's hand harder, "how can you still have a child."
Gu Yuanbai said, "And the clansmen, and you."
The Prince of Peace's fingers twitched and his heart skipped a beat, "Me?"
"You'll have kids too."
Prince He stiffened, and after a long time, he took the initiative to let go of Gu Yuanbai's hand, murmuring, "Worthy of being an emperor."
Worthy of being the emperor chosen by the late emperor to be on the throne.
He walked past Gu Yuanbai in a state of disorientation, with a few wobbly steps, and Gu Yuanbai was about to have someone come forward to support him when his brows suddenly condensed and he abruptly reached out and yanked the Prince of Harmony behind him.
Two pairs of beast pupils lit up in the darkness, and two wolves with athletic postures swiftly rushed towards this place. Their eyes were glowing green, staring fiercely at the Prince of Harmony.
Screaming more dangerously than ever, with sharp teeth exposed, Gu Yuanbai ordered them sternly, "Back off."
The two wolves circled around Gu Yuanbai a few times, looking for a chance to take a bite out of the Prince of Harmony, and Gu Yuanbai nonchalantly lifted his foot and kicked them twice, pointing into the distance and saying, "Get lost."
After a few repetitions, the two wolves whimpered and clamped their tails together, slowly backing away into the darkness.
The Prince of Harmony completely cleared his breath of alcohol after this, and some sweat broke out on his back, "Your Holiness, you keep wolves around?"
Gu Yuanbai responded perfunctorily, his mind filled with the thought that what Xue Yuan had said was actually true.
The Prince of Peace frowned, "How can you keep a wolf around."
He spoke a whole lot more, but Gu Yuanbai was impatient to listen. He had someone take the Prince of Harmony to the Huayi Palace and sent guards to protect the Prince of Harmony so that he wouldn't really get his fingers bitten off by these two wolves.
Before the Prince of Harmony left, he didn't know what came to mind and his tone suddenly sank, "Your Holiness, are these two wolves given to you by Xue Yuan?"
Gu Yuanbai: "What's the harm in being?"
The Prince of Harmony looked deeply at him and sulked as he followed the palace attendant away.
When the Prince of Harmony was out of sight, Gu Yuanbai took another walk, and the two wolves adorned his back, pitifully not daring to approach. Gu Yuanbai wasn't afraid of them, but the others already had chills running down their spines because of these two wolves, tensing up to the point where their sweaty hairs stood on end.
"Saint, Your Majesty," Tian Fusheng said cautiously, "it's getting late."
Gu Yuanbai looked at the sky, "Then go back."
Before going to sleep, His Majesty also went to take a bath. While His Majesty was bathing, the two adult wolves that had been raised to have exuberant black fur also paced into the hall, curtly carrying the shoes scattered on the floor to Gu Yuanbai.
Gu Yuanbai opened his eyes and glanced at them, hooking his lips in the midst of the lingering heat, "Things resemble their master's form."
As soon as he spoke, the two wolves dropped their dragon boots and curiously ambled down, stretching their tongues to lick up the hot water in the pool.
Gu Yuanbai: "......"
Is this the wolf that Xue Yuan, a man of culture, has worked so hard to tame?
