Chapter 387

It was the day when the envoys went into the palace to meet the emperor. General Kur followed the palace people into the diligent administration hall. He only felt that it was magnificent but not tacky. The extraordinary bearing of people in the royal family is faintly revealed. The original attitude of some indifference can't help getting nervous. He looked carefully at the solemn palace with bated breath.

Chu Zongge sat on the Dragon chair with a casual smile on his lips, "is this the envoy from Xirong?"

General Kur looked up to his seat. The prince who defeated the king of Jin and the former crown prince was still so young. About ten years younger than emperor Xirong. There was an irresistible pressure between his sword eyebrows and star eyes, which was forced directly, and some people were out of breath. He frowned and saluted, "the minister is Kur. Please greet the emperor."

"You are the Kur general who went to the state of Qi?" Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It's really extraordinary at first sight today. I heard that your family has seven daughters?"

General Kur was stunned. "Yes, there are seven daughters in the minister's family," he said with a smile

"It's said that all your seven daughters are beautiful, more beautiful than the princess of emperor Xirong. When walking in the street, you can tell the men on both sides of the road to stop breathing," Chu Zongge raised his eyebrows. "Is that true?"

General Kur felt the back of his head with some embarrassment. "It's not true. Although the seven daughters of Chen are beautiful, they are just beautiful in the words of the people of the state of Qin. The emperor's princess is the real Qing Dynasty. Chen's daughter can make men stop breathing. But the princess can make men can't even breathe."

Chu Zongge gently touched the corners of his lips, "it sounds very interesting. But the general's daughter is always beautiful all over the world. I got a few new beads on Penglai Island, and the number is exactly seven. It's better to give them to the general's beautiful daughters."

General Kur frowned. He had never heard of the beads on Penglai Island. The palace people had already brought up several small and exquisite brocade boxes. Chu Zongge raised his eyelids and asked him to open one of them. As soon as his hand touched the small lock of the brocade box, he felt a chill. When he opened the box, the cold light emitted by the thumb sized beads almost frozen his eyes. He was blinked by the cold light and narrowed before he realized that the beads were absolutely the best in the world, Not even in the treasure house of emperor Xirong.

"Thank you, emperor," general Kur winked. "Chen's daughter will like this gift very much."

"If only your daughter liked it," Chu Zongge rubbed his eyebrows, and a strange flash flashed across his eyes. "Today is the day to meet me. Why did you come alone? I heard you still have a helper. Should you be a deputy general?"

"That's the minister's military division, named Chu Changqing. Because he felt cold before entering the palace, he shouldn't face the saint."

"It's understandable that she's ill, but the other one won't be ill too?" Chu Zongge hooked her lips and smiled coldly. "Didn't you still come with a princess? You just said that the princess of emperor Xirong was toppling the country and the city. If she didn't enter the palace, she wouldn't be afraid that my city wall would collapse by her."

General Kur was cold all over and hurriedly explained, "I dare not. In fact, the princess also suffered from the wind and cold before entering the palace. It is really inconvenient to enter the palace. I dare to beg the emperor to let them have a rest."

"Rest is no problem. I'm not an unreasonable person," Chu Zongge rubbed the Buddha beads at his cuffs. "Since they are not comfortable and should not be holy, I'll let them rest for a few days and pick up the wind and wash the dust for you at that time."

General Kur was a little flustered when he stared at him. He still restrained himself and nodded, "thank you, Emperor."

Chu Zongge felt his chin in his spare time. "The princess's illness needs to get better quickly. You took the princess to the state of Qin all the way. You want to surprise me. I can't delay the business."

The story of Princess Gu's coming to the state of Qin was not disclosed to the emperor. General Kur's fingers shook a few times, covered his hands on his chest and said in a deep voice: "I remember to let Princess Gu keep her body and let the emperor see her best."

The night they came, the street was not busy. Only a few scattered shops were open. Maybe it was about the middle of winter. The weather was getting colder and colder, and thin snowflakes began to float. The tip of Liu Yuan's nose was red with cold. They couldn't help wrapping up the skirt of their neck to prevent the cold wind from pouring in from their neck.

Xu Hanfei looked at her trembling body, frowned and said, "I knew I wouldn't take you out. In such a cold winter, I thought there would be all kinds of vendors selling things in the street. I didn't expect that there was no shadow. I was afraid you would feel cold and freeze you."

"My body and bones are very strong. How can I be frozen?" Liu Yuan sneezed and waved his hand before he finished his words. "Forget it, I really can't support it. We'd better find a place to rest. I wanted to eat something to drive away the cold, but now I can't see anything at a glance."

Xu Hanfei looked around in the cold wanton street and suddenly saw a wine sail flying in the air. He opened his eyes and happily pulled her sleeve, "you see, isn't that a good place to drive away the cold?"

Liu Yuan looked in the direction of his fingers. There were three words "listen to snow building" written on an earthy yellow wine sail. She narrowed her eyes slightly and exhaled a cloud of white gas, "are you going there?"

"Yes, it's tingxue building, which can be regarded as the best place to drink in Kyoto. There are all famous good wines in it. You can't drink them in line when you want to drink."

Liu Yuan showed suspicious eyes, "is it really so magical? Why haven't I heard of this restaurant? It shouldn't be funded by you. You want me to go in and pay you?"

"Am I the one who asked you to pay? Since I invited you out, I paid you to drink," Xu Hanfei raised his eyebrows. "Of course, you who stay in guimeng temple every day have never seen this tin snow building. There are all precious and good wines in it. Some of them have to be sent to the imperial palace. I guarantee you like it."

Liu Yuan tilted his head and said with a smile, "you say it's so magical. I really want to have a good taste and see what tricks the wine in the restaurant can play."

They couldn't stand the cold wind in the street, so they turned and entered the tingxue building. There seemed to be very few guests tonight. The waiter dozed off on the table with his elbow. The shopkeeper glanced at two distinguished guests and kicked him to wake up when they came to the door.

Xu Hanfei was used to sitting in the box. He immediately took Liu Yuan to the place he usually liked. The waiter remembered his identity in the twinkling of an eye and said with a smile: "young master Xu, what wine are you going to drink tonight?"

As soon as Liu Yuan heard it, he immediately said, "you are still a distinguished guest here. No wonder you want to turn me in."

"When you drink the good wine here, even if you don't want to go, I'll carry you back," Xu Hanfei said with a smile on his lips. "Do you have any special wine today?"

"It was originally peach blossom wine, but it was sold out. Now there are only xifengchun and cunsi years left."

"That's a bad time. I just want to drink some peach blossom wine," Liu Yuan turned his eyes. "I've never heard of what this inch silk year is."

The waiter introduced the year in a methodical way: "this inch silk year is unique to our store. It adds gold and silver. When drinking, even the wine has a shape, from invisible to tangible."

"It sounds really strange," Liu Yuan asked. "Do you want to drink this?"

"I can drink anything. Since you're not sure, let's try this inch silk year," Xu Han raised his hand. "Just have a cup of inch silk year. You must heat it up, otherwise it's not good to drive out the cold."

The waiter laughed and said, "it's definitely hot for Mr. Xu. I'll send it right away."

Liu Yuan looked around the store. There was nothing strange about it, but it was just ordinary decoration. When he was about to go over and say a few words to Xu Hanfei, a sound came from the stairs, and a childe in a crane cloak appeared in front of him.

Liu Yuan's heart moved. The childe's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xu Hanfei. She stretched out her hand and pushed his arm. "Look, someone there looks very similar to you."

There was a curtain across. Xu Hanfei was not interested in the things outside the curtain, and his mind was all on her. "You always see what you see outside. I take you into the box so that others can't disturb us."

"I don't think there's anything outside or inside," Liu Yuan shrugged indifferently. "You're in good spirits today. I heard that your brother has entered the palace. You don't have to act on your hands."

"Staying still is the best strategy. I can't act like an impatient and reckless person," a strange flash flashed through the bottom of Xu Hanfei's eyes. "You underestimate my brother. He doesn't go to the palace so fast. He has to make trouble outside for several times, such as being infected with wind and cold. It's all easy."

Liu Yuan looked at him with deep eyes and wondered, "why is the relationship between you and your brother so bad? Have you had any discord?"

"Of course," Xu Hanfei narrowed his eyes and smiled softly, "and the horizontal groove is not small."

"Is it for feelings," Liu Yuan looked at him blankly. "Most brothers are in the wall because of feelings. Don't you fall in love with a woman at the same time?"

Xu Hanfei was stunned for a long time and said with a laugh: "don't guess. Do you think everyone is the king and the emperor who are so attached to the queen? The things between me and him are really because of feelings, but they have nothing to do with women. I haven't met a girl who can move my heart."

"So it is. That's because your father and mother came to Xirong from the state of Qin. They gave birth to you and him in Xirong, but only you returned to the state of Qin," Liu Yuan frowned. "So is this the reason why you are not good?"

Xu Hanfei was silent for a long time. After all, he didn't say anything. He immediately smiled and said, "this inch of silk has come for years. After that, we just drink, no matter what discord or brother."

Liu Yuan couldn't mention it more. He leaned close to the mouth of the pot and smelled it for a few times. There came a sweet aroma, "look what's inside. It seems that it's really gold and silver. I can see the shape of that silk."

"This shows that the store is really not cheating. It's a good thing to keep out the cold," Xu Hanfei poured her a cup. "Try it."
