304 The Darkness Can't Hide Life and Death Penglai 4
"How are you doing, Your Majesty?" Hua Jinglan asked Qin Fu in the carriage.
"Replying to the prince, the emperor's appetite has improved a lot since he heard that you are here." Qin Fu replied respectfully.
Hua Jinglan felt uncomfortable hearing this, so she said: "Don't call me Prince, I may not stay in Loulan."
Qin Fu couldn't help but look up at her, "Your Majesty...why did you say this?"
Hua Jinglan shrugged and said matter-of-factly: "I'm not interested in governing the country."
"Young Master!" Qin Fu said anxiously: "Your Majesty sees that each day is worse than the last, do you want to abandon the whole Loulan?"
Hua Jinglan only felt annoyed. This big mountain was pressing down on her again. She was silent for a moment and then asked: "Does the Loulan family have relatives with the same surname?"
"Nothing." Qin Fu replied.
"Then only the foreign surnames are left," Hua Jinglan continued: "Is there any outstanding candidate among the foreign surnames?"
Qin Fu's face became even more ugly, "Why is the young master so evasive? I have made bold remarks. There is no one else in the royal family to choose from except the young master!"
Hua Jinglan raised her eyebrows, "How come I heard that the emperor has a distant relative whose daughter is good at literature and martial arts and has won the first prize in civil and military affairs. This person can't achieve anything?"
"Talent does not necessarily mean the ability to govern the world. Your Majesty has already seen this woman, and she still lacks the ability to control people's hearts." Qin Fu said bluntly and had no intention of hiding Loulan Erxue from doing what he wanted.
Hua Jinglan nodded and said, "Can't great things be accomplished even if a female prime minister is assisting you?"
"Relying on talent with a small amount, Loulan Kingdom is determined not to leave it in her hands to train on her own." Qin Fu said firmly, "Young Master is the best choice!"
Hua Jinglan didn't understand. Chunyu Yan could entrust Hou Yue to his young brother without any worries, but Lou Lan didn't dare to bet his country on a woman with the talent to govern the country?
When Qin Fu saw her questioning, he sighed and said, "What you saw today, Master, is not all Loulan's fault. People have to kneel down in order to survive, and the same goes for the whole country."
Hua Jinglan frowned and turned her gaze to Chunyu Yan.
Chunyu Yan pursed her lips and said: "Although Loulan remains neutral, it is surrounded by four countries. It is run by women and its national power is lower than that of other countries. It is inevitable that there is a sense of inferiority, because trade tariffs are the main source of Loulan's national treasury."
Source, this is tantamount to being controlled by another country."
"But if the four major countries want to communicate with each other, they can only go through Loulan. This matter cannot be a threat?" Hua Jinglan asked.
"The four countries have strong national power and naturally consume energy, but Loulan cannot consume it for a long time." Chunyu paused and continued: "And in order to weaken Loulan's location advantage, the four countries also have corresponding policies, such as controlling the amount of trade, or limiting the relationship between countries.
For trade between the two countries, the goods are sold directly to Loulan, who then sells them separately. This is still an exchange of goods, but it saves on customs duties. Loulan also had to compromise."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," Qin Fu said.
Chunyu Yan smiled and said, "I am no longer a prince. There is no need for the female Prime Minister to call me that."
A hint of admiration appeared on Qin Fu's face, and he said: "Master Chunyu sacrificed himself for his younger brother, which makes Qin Fu admire him!"
"The female prime minister is so impressed." Chun Yuyan turned her gentle eyes to Hua Jinglan.
Naturally, Qin Fu could see clearly that Hua Jinglan had to be the factor that caused Chun Yuyan to give up such a great country.
Arriving at the small town, Qin Fu dismounted first and went to the inn to prepare, while Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan stayed in the carriage.
"I didn't expect Loulan to be in such a situation." Hua Jinglan couldn't help but sigh.
"The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Loulan's natural advantage is also what the four countries are afraid of," Chunyu Yan said: "This is probably the reason why Loulan has always remained neutral."
"One thing is going up and the other thing is going up, and this thing is going up and the other thing is going away. In short, we have to calm down the situation in order to maintain peace in the world." Hua Jinglan sighed, "But how long can such peace be maintained?"
Chunyu Yan raised the corners of her lips, "Rather than worrying about this, it is better to go see that woman who has the talent to govern the country. Seeing it with your own eyes is the truth. You can take care of this worry for your aunt."
Hua Jinglan smiled, "That's true."
The two entered the inn and sat at the same table with He Lianhuai. Feng Chen was about to take a seat, but Hua Jinglan stopped her coldly, "There are only four people at the table."
She, Chunyu Yan, Helianhuai, Helianrong.
Feng Chen was unwilling but had nothing to do. Who told Hua Jinglan to become the crown prince of Loulan Kingdom now?!
People who are willing to be villains will never be able to reach the big stage in their lives, and they will never be looked down upon. In Hua Jinglan's eyes, people like Feng Chen can't even be considered as opponents.
"Young Master Xue Yue's identity is really confusing. Huai Fang has just been rude." He Lian Huai raised his wine glass and said, "A glass of wine to Mr. Xue Yue."
Hua Jinglan also raised her glass and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. How can His Highness be rude?"
"Master Xue Yue is an open-minded person, and Huai Bian also follows the good deeds."
He Lianhuai was quite talkative. He talked almost all the way through the meal. There was no awkward silence at all. He always kept provoking topics. In a sense, he was a talent.
He Lianrong glanced at Hua Jinglan several times, still refusing to believe that the person in front of her was the famous Young Master Xue Yue, but she was followed by King Xiaoyao and a group of servants who were as beautiful as immortals.
There is probably no other person in the world who can show such pomp and circumstance as Kuanglan Sword. His unrestrained temperament and arrogant and uninhibited style add a bit of human touch to the name "Master Xueyue".
After all, he is still a mortal, not as unattainable as a god.
He Lianrong felt relieved in her heart, but she frowned because of what happened in the inn. Meeting Mr. Xue Yue was not a good start. She probably thinks that she is a cunning and willful savage princess now!
Thinking of this, she couldn't even sit still. She wanted to turn her head and treat Jin'er better, but she couldn't do it too obviously, so she just lowered her head and ate. The days ahead were long and she didn't have to worry about Hua Jinglan not changing her mind.
Hua Jinglan wrapped her belly, rested for half an hour, drank a cup of tea, then stood up and said: "I'm going to look at the glass."
"I'll accompany you." Chunyu Yan turned around and ordered to greet Zhu and send them off, saying: "You guys have the hot water ready."
"Yes." The two replied respectfully.
Two shadows as fast as lightning shuttled through the woods, and soon caught up with the big white beast that was running wildly in the mountains to hunt for food.
The glass body was too big, and because it was still in the transformation stage, in order to avoid hurting people, Hua Jinglan let it follow them in the mountains and forests.
Loulan country is also a mountainous country. It ran into the forest very happily. It was chasing a doe at the moment. It was chasing the deer. Hua Jinglan and Chun Yuyan were chasing it. The two animals were at the same speed.
, flashed across the mountains, and flew far away in a moment.
Glass finally caught his food and ate it contentedly. Hua Jinglan stood on the tree, looked at its shaking head and said, "Chunyu, has Glass grown bigger again?"
Chunyu Yan looked at it for a while and said, "I don't think it's big when I look at it every day, but now I think it's really big."
Hua Jinglan was worried, "This big-headed thing will eat wherever he goes. Will he still eat people when he gets mad in the future?"
"Don't scare yourself," Chunyu Yan said, "Isn't Glass very obedient now?"
"Look at Wen Ruyu's face. It was as big as a deer at that time. Now, it's about to catch up with three tigers." Hua Jinglan turned her head and looked around, and her eyes naturally fell on its bare butt again, wondering.
He said: "What kind of breed is it? It's said to be a wolf, but it has no tail. It's said to be a bear, but its shape is wrong."
"A year ago, it was only the size of a hamster, and it has grown to this size in just a few months. Even Tianshui Kingdom has never heard of such a tailless spirit beast."
Hua Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "How about taking it back to Tianshui Country to recognize its ancestors?"
"Anyway, I'm going to take Yuchi Yue to Tianshui Country and simply look for its family tree, so that I can find out what it is."
Chunyu Yan nodded, "I'm also curious. After the tailless spirit beast grows up, its tail is not revealed. I'm afraid I picked up a treasure without noticing."
"Don't call it a treasure, don't be a nuisance." Hua Jinglan flew down, touched the glass with her paws, and finally looked at it with disgust and said, "Go to the river and wash it for me!
"
The glassy green eyes looked at her for a while, then turned and ran down the mountain.
Chunyu Yan and Hua Jinglan looked at each other, smiled, and followed.
Glass, who had eaten and drank enough, was very docile, and his huge body could not be submerged in the water. He jumped up and down to have fun, and rolled the water on his body from time to time, as if he was deliberately shaking the water on the two of them.
"The wings are stiff, tsk tsk!" Hua Jinglan said with a half smile and half anger.
Glass stepped on the water and ran to her side, lowering his huge head and rubbing her legs, sticking out his tongue in a flattering manner. That look was as cute as he wanted.
In the end, Hua Jinglan couldn't help but take off her shoes and socks and get into the water to play with it. Chun Yuyan found a big rock and sat on the bank to watch, with a smile on her thin lips. He looked at the water with gentle eyes and smiled like a child.
A beautiful woman, with a soft and warm heart, and a smile like this that you will never tire of even if you look at her for the rest of your life.
