Chapter 422 Yelan Kingdom is coming to Beijing
It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry. She could even see the blue veins on the back of Xie Ci'an's hand.
Who wouldn't be angry when faced with so many troublesome court officials? They don't even know how to take care of their own reputation.
"Is the emperor really not angry?" Gu Jianchu leaned forward and stared into Xie Ci'an's eyes seriously.
"I'm really not angry." The moment Xie Ci'an finished speaking, he quickly leaned forward and pecked the corner of Gu Jianchu's mouth lightly, leaving a light kiss.
Since the queen became pregnant, Xie Ci'an has not had sex for a long time. Now, just a quick kiss is far from enough for Xie Ci'an. He wants more.
Xie Ci'an looked at Gu Jianchu's eyes, which changed from gentleness at the beginning to burning passion.
Gu Jianchu was very familiar with Xie Ci'an's eyes. Whenever he looked at him with this kind of eyes in the past, nothing good happened.
Now she is pregnant and can't stand his torture.
If you think about it carefully, it is understandable.
Xie Ci'an hadn't touched her for a long time, and there were no other women in the harem for him to vent his desires. She had also heard that once a man started doing this, he couldn't stop.
It's like a rushing flood.
If she continued kissing, she was really afraid that Xie Ci'an would lose control. Gu Jianchu couldn't help but think of what happened that night, which almost made her tired to death.
If we continue like this, there is no need to deal with this memorial.
Before Xie Ci'an came forward, Gu Jianchu quickly raised his hand to block Xie Ci'an, "Husband, please deal with the memorial quickly."
Xie Ci'an looked at the hand pressing on his lips, and then at Gu Jianchu's evasive eyes. Xie Ci'an immediately understood what he meant. He really scared the little girl that time.
Forget it, she is still pregnant, so let’s not bother her.
Xie Ci'an sighed softly, but couldn't help but gently took a bite of Gu Jianchu's palm.
Gu Jianchu screamed and quickly withdrew his hand. He couldn't help but look at Xie Ci'an fiercely with his eyes wide open.
The palace servants waiting outside heard the noise and were about to rush in to check. After taking two steps, Qiutou grabbed their wrists. Qiutou shook her head at them and said, "No need to go in to serve. With the Emperor here, nothing will happen to the Empress."
After Zhuxi was promoted to a female official, she also had to help deal with some mundane affairs in the palace. The people in Kunning Palace were too busy to handle it. The Queen was about to give birth in a few months, and they would be even less able to serve her then. Instead of transferring her here temporarily and causing a rush, it would be better to send her here in advance, train her first, and then she could serve the Queen directly.
The identities of these palace maids have all been investigated. They are newcomers who were transferred here in the past two days. Naturally, they don't know anything about the Emperor and the Empress. If they barge in at this time, they will definitely see some embarrassing things and may even be scolded by the Emperor.
After all, the Empress is shy, and the Emperor would naturally not be happy if they barged in for no reason and saw something.
Qiu Tao also gave a few instructions, "From now on, when you serve the Empress, as long as the Emperor is here, no matter what you hear, do not go in, unless you hear the Emperor or the Empress summon you. If you have something important to report, remember to knock on the door, understand?"
The two young palace maids nodded ignorantly.
After all, Cheng Song and Yun He had done this kind of thing.
Xie Ci'an forcefully suppressed the desire in his body.
The two continued to deal with the memorials in silence.
Although most of them were trivial matters in the homes of some officials, at least they were not as infuriating as what happened just now.
When he saw the last memorial, Gu Jianchu frowned and quickly handed it to Xie Ci'an. "Your Majesty, this is a report from Lingnan. I don't know why it got stuck in the memorial from Lingnan. The report says that the Yelan Kingdom wants to come to pay tribute on the New Year's Day."
Xie Ci'an took the official report and took a look at it. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were very cold.
"We seldom have any contact with the Yelan Kingdom. Why would the Yelan Kingdom want to come and pay tribute during the New Year?" Gu Jianchu directly asked the doubts in his mind.
The Yelan Kingdom is far south of Lingnan. Their environment is suitable and it is like spring all year round. Although it is a small country, because of its good environment, it can grow fruits, vegetables and melons in multiple seasons, which can be regarded as a rich country and a strong people. The Yelan Kingdom and Lingnan also have trade exchanges. Although it is not a mutual market opened by the court, the two countries have never been at war, so naturally there is no hostile tendency. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if they conduct some transactions secretly, and it is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
Xie Ci'an said bluntly, "I'm afraid you want to get along again now."
"When the King of Annan was stationed in Lingnan, he had frequent interactions with the Yelan Kingdom. I'm afraid there are other interests involved that we're unaware of. Now that the King of Annan has been arrested for those previous incidents, your eldest brother has been appointed to handle the matter. Your eldest brother is a man of integrity and I'm afraid he didn't respond to the Yelan Kingdom's overtures. Now that they can't gain any benefits from Lingnan, they naturally have to find a solution."
"They can't directly infiltrate Lingnan officials, and the Beijing officials can't help them. They can only come to the capital to discuss with me."
When I was eating the melon about the King of Annan before, I did hear that the King of Annan had frequent contacts with Lingnan officials.
Although he could get a simple understanding of some things through the system, Gu Jianchu didn't know what Yelan Kingdom was trying to do before meeting them.
We can only take it as it comes.
Or once they arrive in Beijing, they will know everything.
Gu Jianchu looked at Xie Ci'an and said, "Then the emperor must invite them to the capital."
The Yelan Kingdom would not come to the capital for no reason. They must have some plans. If we don't let them come to the capital, we naturally won't know what they are thinking. Only by keeping them under our noses can we know what they really want to do.
It's not like they want to go to war.
Even if Ye Lan is a rich and powerful country, if the two countries really come to blows, Ye Lan will not gain any benefits.
What's more, they are different from the Tatars in the northwest and Liaodong border. Their geographical location is very favorable and the people live a rich life. There is really no need to start a war. Letting the people live in war is not good for the development of their Yelan Kingdom.
Whether we can win is another matter.
I'm afraid the Yelan Kingdom has other plans.
But it is unknown what they are trying to do. They will send some spies to various countries, just like some people sent spies to the capital before. Even if those spies are very capable, it is easy for them to find out some peripheral news, but it is a bit difficult to find out the news about the royal family or their government.
After all, they are not fools and will be on guard, especially spies.
Under Gu Jianchu's scorching gaze, Xie Ci'an said softly, "Let them enter the capital. I will then send the Imperial City Bureau to escort them there. Only when they arrive can we know what they really want. Otherwise, we can only guess."
Gu Jianchu only knew about the Yelan Kingdom, but she didn't know the names of their royal family. She couldn't even get a piece of the melon from the outside.
