Boiling water in a copper pot, boiling soup with stick bones, sprinkled with a few longans, wolfberries, and red dates, Jiang Fan and the empress continued to dine in the pavilion.

The Empress also likes hotpot, even better than barbecue. Of course, the only one who can cook something in the same pot with her is Jiang Fan.

The weather was so beautiful that it actually started to rain lightly, and the temperature was just right, so eating was very interesting. Of course, even if it was hot, Jiang Fan loved to eat, and it felt so good to be sweating profusely.

Although there was a light breeze and drizzle, it was early summer after all. As soon as he ate the steaming hot pot, Mr. Jiang started to sweat profusely.

Then a scene that Zhao Gao couldn't bear to watch appeared. Prince Jiang took off his robe, threw off his shirt, stepped on the stool with his shirtless body and ate fiercely.

Fortunately, at this time, there is at most Zhao Gao waiting by his side. Otherwise, if the news spreads... Oh, don't mention it.

Of course, Zhao Gao was also a little proud. Although he had less meat than others, he had much more meat in other places than the prince, making him look stronger. Although he was paler than him.

"Indecent." The empress gave him a dirty look.

"No one saw it." Jiang Fan didn't care.

Zhao Gao felt a little worried, what's the point of co-authoring it with me?

The empress just said lightly: "Yes."

Jiang Fan was stunned and turned to look at Zhao Gao: "You mean him?"

Haha... Zhao Gao can only laugh along with you, I won't argue with you.

The empress shook her head gently, picked up a vegetable leaf, shook her hand gently, and the vegetable leaf flew away.

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and found nothing.

The piece of vegetable leaf disappeared into the sea, and the empress' eyes narrowed slightly.

"……what happen?"

Jiang Fan said a little confused.

The empress just smiled softly: "I have underestimated the masters in the world."

"Is someone spying on you?" Zhao Gao was shocked and quickly asked if he needed to search.

"No need, he's gone."

The empress looked at Jiang Fan and said, "He is looking at you."

Jiang Fan was confused and looked at himself up and down: "Is it because I'm shirtless?"

Empress:......

——

Very early in the morning, the sleepy Prince Jiang returned to his mansion.

Yu Wen Chengxin has been waiting for a long time, "Master, master, my aunt has agreed. It will be delivered in two days at most. When will you see her?"

Jiang Fan waved his hands and yawned: "We'll talk about it later. Let's go to bed first."

Sleeping? Yuwen Cheng was stunned. Didn’t you sleep last night? Not staying

At the empress' place? Could it be...

Jiang Fan was startled by the sudden blush on her face. When he realized it, he became furious and struck her head hard with his finger: "Get out of here, what are you thinking about!"

Swinging his sleeves, he groaned and went to rest. Biquku

I can't help but sleep. Last night, I was kicked out of bed by the empress while I was struggling in my sleep. I cowered on the hard floor all night.

I slept until noon and then woke up hungry.

After freshening up, Xiaoshuang ordered Xiaoshuang to inform Yuwen Chengxin and ask her to make an appointment with Ba Qing for lunch.

When Yu Wencheng excitedly informed Ba Qing of the news, Shi Guanyin's eyes flashed imperceptibly.

"Please allow Baqing to take a bath and change clothes."

Yu Wencheng was a little dazed. Aren't everyone in a hurry? Why didn't everyone seem to be in a hurry?

However, she was so smart that she understood it quickly and didn't rush her. She just let Ba Qing mess around for a while.

Although Ba Qing does not appear often, it does not mean that she is reclusive. As the largest merchant in the five countries today, in fact, she has a lot of information and is better informed.

However, due to the special events this year, he did not pay much attention to the outside world. Although he was one of the few very special people, King Xiaoyao also got her attention. However, this person was too mysterious, and she only knew about him and everyone.

Some people think the same. Of course, this so-called majority is already a very small minority.

She knew about his title of Immortal of Poetry and Saint of Ci, knew about his wonderful book "Three Kingdoms", and also knew that he had rescued people five times. Although she didn't know the inside story, she knew that he was awarded the title of Double King, but that was all.

In fact, Ba Qing, like others, often thinks that the fundamental reason why Jiang Fan wins the favor of the empress is not the five rescues that are true or false, nor is it any meritorious service of this or that. It is most likely that he is naturally handsome and has outstanding literary talent. That's it.

Who doesn't like men and women? Most of them are just faces, and other so-called things are just cover-ups.

However, the first thing she felt was wrong was that in Tangwu Mountain, the Supreme Emperor actually handed her over. Although she didn't know the inside story, she knew that she had a huge effect on the Supreme Emperor and could make him let go of him like this. Is this young man really extraordinary?

Even so, she was only slightly confused, and more suspected that he was sending a message on behalf of the Empress. The one who really wanted to get her should be the Empress.

subsequent development

, which seems to support this point. The Xiaoyao King is completely indifferent to her. In her opinion, it is obvious that he is waiting for the empress to deal with him.

However, the information revealed in Yuwen Chengxin's conversation with her finally made her suspicious. But she refused to listen to more, or this was her smart point. Ba Qing understood that if she knew more, she would leave.

It won't open.

As time passed, she understood that all the forces that should be moved after she was captured had no effect. At this time, she already understood that things were not simple.

Therefore, Ba Qing changed from refusing Yuwen Chengxin's talk about certain things to actively asking.

The result of the inquiry shocked her inexplicably. Although the real core had not been touched yet, even so, the goosebumps all over her body could not be suppressed.

No matter from the external game or from this extremely novel knowledge, she wanted to see this Xiaoyao King.

As a businessman, she understands how she rises and understands that something is above everything else. She really wants to figure out her next destiny, or how she should choose.

But even at this time, she still believed that King Xiaoyao represented the empress. All of this was just the empress showing her strength through King Xiaoyao. All she wanted was herself and the massive wealth she represented.

The root cause was that she understood the true situation of the Qin Dynasty from the Supreme Emperor. Perhaps the four kingdoms were fighting, and the Qin Dynasty's inaction was directly related to the emptiness of the treasury. In her opinion, it might even be the root cause.

However, everything must be clear in the end. The only channel he has is to meet this mysterious young king.

The king in front of her was younger than she had imagined. Not surprisingly, he was indeed handsome and had a free and easy temperament.

He was eating under the pavilion by the Green Lotus Pond. His lunch was a bit light. A small bowl of rice, two stir-fried dishes, and water ball soup.

"Ba Qing, meet the prince."

She was polite and courteous.

Jiang Fan said while eating: "I'm a little hungry because of the impatient wait. I'll eat first. Please sit down."

Ba Qing said calmly: "You are the king of a country. Ba Qing, a merchant, would not dare to do so."
