Elder Wang was speechless, but seeing that the emperor was very emotional now, he dared not stop him. He laughed and said: "The emperor wants to go, of course he can, but it is no small matter to travel by imperial car. Please wait patiently for a day, and I will make preparations. How will tomorrow be?"
Li Huaide nodded weakly.
Elder Wang took Xu Ruyu out and sent her back to the mountain to report to the temple master. He went to find someone to prepare for the emperor's trip.
Xu Ruyu returned to the mountain feeling disappointed.
After Xu Guanzhu heard about it, he was very speechless. Damn it, you are all stupid, what else can I expect from you if such a trivial matter is messed up
But the matter had come to this, and he had no other choice.
Li Huaide returned to the imperial study room, and had nothing to worry about approving the memorial.
Seeing the emperor's face full of grief and indignation, many eunuchs serving him trembled and did not dare to vent their anger.
The clever little eunuch Ma Debao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, something interesting happened in Jianye today."
Li Huaide hummed indifferently.
Ma Debao is responsible for passing on information to the emperor. If there is any abnormality among the princes and officials, he usually informs the emperor.
"Wenzheng Hou's family has a big banquet today, and they say that they are inviting Chu Shenjun, Mr. Chu from the Chu Kingdom."
Li Huaide didn't pay attention at first, when he heard the word Chu Shenjun, he immediately turned his head and asked, "Chu Shenjun of the Taiyi sect of the Chu Kingdom?"
Ma Debao smiled in surprise: "Oh, your majesty, you are really powerful, and you even know this. The servant just received the news that Mr. Chu and his fiancee came to Jianye to play. The younger ones don't understand, so far away from Chu In the country, Wenzheng Hou’s family is also rushing to flatter.”
Li Huaide's heart moved, and he asked: "He has a fiancee? What's her name?"
Ma Debao frowned and said, "Yu Qingyao, the same name as the one the emperor met today, is it strange to you, Your Majesty?"
Li Huaide couldn't believe it and shouted: "You say it again?"
Ma Debao was startled, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I said her name is also Yu Qingyao."
Li Huaide looked up to the sky and laughed, overjoyed.
The eunuchs in the room were all stunned. They don't understand why the emperor is so moody today, but the emperor is smiling, which is a good thing.
Li Huaide hurriedly said to Ma Debao: "Prepare the carriages and horses, I'm going out of the palace to Wenzhenghou's house."
Tianlong Temple does not prohibit the emperor from visiting his officials, but it is necessary to send Taoist priests to protect them.
Ma Debao asked cleverly: "Your Majesty, are you going to see Mr. Chu?"
Li Huaide said in his heart, I don't want to see him, I just want to see my junior sister. But he was too lazy to argue, and nodded with a smile.
The eunuchs rushed to prepare, Elder Wang was a little surprised, isn't the emperor heartbroken? Why do you suddenly want to go to Wen Zhenghou's house for a banquet
Now he has a guilty conscience and doesn't dare to see the emperor, so he asks Elder Yue to protect the emperor for him. Elder Yue replaced Elder Liu, and now takes turns guarding the emperor with Elder Wang. It's just that Elder Wang is the master, and Elder Yue is the deputy.
Li Huaide sat on the carriage, and after he calmed down a bit, something went wrong.
Back then, he suspected that his junior sister went to Wu to live in seclusion in order to hide from Chu Shenjun. It didn't make sense that she would be with Chu Shenjun again. Chu Shenjun came here from a long distance, and he was very suspicious. He was afraid that he was here to arrest his junior sister.
He suspected that his junior sister had been captured by Chu Shenjun and was forced to be his fiancee. He immediately felt that he had to rescue his junior sister, and save her from Mr. Chu's clutches.
He remembered that Mr. Chu chased and killed him back then. He secretly felt ruthless, today is different from the past, back then he was a fox demon who would scream and kill anyone who saw him. Now that he is the emperor of the Wu Kingdom, he raised his arms, and if there are people to help, he can avenge his past.
Amid the shouts of the emperor's arrival, Li Huaide walked into Xiyuan with his head held high.
The princes and princes lined the road to welcome His Majesty the Emperor.
The Taoist priests of Tianlong Temple stood up one after another and bowed their heads to pay tribute to the emperor.
Chu Shenjun was very surprised. He really didn't expect the emperor of Wu to be so popular.
However, he didn't get up, he sat at the head of the seat, he just bowed his body and saluted the emperor.
Yu Qingyao got up following Daliu, and saluted with a smile.
Li Huaide saw his junior sister at a glance. At this time, Yu Qingyao was standing among a group of gorgeously dressed young ladies. She was dressed in Tsing Yi, and she was plain and unpretentious, just like a pure green lotus.
Li Huaide admired in his heart: "This is my junior sister. Pure and innocent, like a lotus in clear water."
"Everyone, please sit down. I'm just going out for a walk. May I ask who is Mr. Chu Shenjun?"
Chu Shenjun was slightly taken aback, and said with a smile: "I am, Emperor Wu looking for me?"
Li Huaide strode towards him and said with a smile: "I heard that Chu has many talents, but now that I see Mr. Chu, I know the rumors are true."
Seeing that Emperor Wu was so polite, Chu Shenjun was embarrassed to let the emperor get off the stage in public, and said with a smile: "Emperor Wu has won the prize, please sit down!"
The servant next to him hurriedly moved the chair and placed it beside him.
Li Huaide took advantage of the opportunity to sit next to Chu Shenjun. He was so polite to Chu Shenjun, an enemy, for the purpose of sitting next to him.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Huaide asked, "Why did Mr. Chu come to the country of Wu? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Chu Shenjun became Emperor Wu because he wanted to make friends with himself, and said with a smile: "Emperor Wu is interested, thank you, I just came out for a walk, nothing special."
Yu Qingyao walked back curiously, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Chu Shenjun froze for a moment, he didn't expect Yu Qingyao to know Wu Huang.
Seeing his junior sister come to talk to him, Li Huaide was full of joy, and said with a smile: "Qing Yao, long time no see, how are you doing?"
Yu Qingyao smiled and said: "So-so, not comparable to the emperor. When I met you earlier, I really didn't expect that you would have the day of turning into a dragon and flying into the sky."
This is a pun, not only referring to Wu Qingde's sudden prosperity and becoming an emperor from a wanted criminal, but also referring to him now having the body of a half-dragon, who can fly and disappear.
Li Huaide said affectionately: "Although the palace is luxurious, I hope to live in the bamboo forest. The charming green hills and graceful green bamboos have won my heart, and I have been intoxicated for a long time."
Yu Qingyao couldn't help smiling and said, "I didn't expect you to remember."
Li Huaide smiled and said: "Don't dare or forget."
The people around couldn't help but wonder to themselves, hearing what this meant, Yu Qingyao had a very close relationship with the emperor, they were old acquaintances.
Mr. Chu was unhappy and stared at Li Huaide.
What does this kid mean? Tease my woman in front of my face? This is provocation, right
Li Huaide ignored Mr. Chu and stared at Yu Qingyao's attitude, which made Mr. Chu confirm that this was a provocation.
He wanted to be brave right away, he had never encountered such a thing when he grew up so big.
A follower secretly pressed the young master's shoulder, and said via voice transmission: "Young master, this is not the state of Chu. This kid is very popular. If you start a fight at this time, it will not be good for you, young master."
Master Chu remembered the scene when Emperor Wu entered the arena, and his heart shuddered.
If he wants to fight the emperor at this time, everyone present will turn their faces. I am just an outsider, needless to say, these people must be helping Wu Huang. I will inevitably suffer a big loss. It was too late when grandpa heard the news.
