Chapter 64： diplomatic

There is nothing to say about the Dachengjiao case. Since the church's case was nominally settled by Pei Yu, Li Zichou praised him well and mentioned Wanbang's coming to the court by the way.

Li Zichou held the roster of officials with ties to the church, perhaps because of a guilty conscience. When she proposed that Xie Zhi and Yang Dejin be in charge of receiving Shuobei's envoys, those officials who wanted to oppose were especially powerless.

Moreover, with Zhou Huaijin, the emperor's sword, and Liang Jing, the emperor's dog leg, the matter of receiving foreign guests was basically settled.

Xie Zhi already knew that she had no objections, but Yang Dejin was not so calm.

Yang Dejin showed the bitter expression of an adult: Why do you have to work overtime...

After the court, Li Zichou accompanied Bai Qingyang back to Yuheng Palace.

"Qing Yang, what happened? Are you not sick?" Li Zichou asked with concern.

For some reason this morning, Bai Qingyang resisted going to court, Li Zichou thought that she was not feeling well, and asked her if she wanted to go back to rest, but Bai Qingyang said no.

Li Zichou had waited for a long time to see all the officials, but Bai Qingyang said that there was no problem, so he took her by the hand and entered the Hanyuan Hall.

Bai Qingyang shook his head embarrassingly: "I'm fine."

Li Zishou: There must be something wrong.

But seeing that although she was uncomfortable, she didn't have any major reactions, so it shouldn't be a big deal, so Li Zichou decided to let her handle it by herself.

"Okay." Li Zichou compromised, "If you feel unwell, you must ask the imperial doctor to take a look for you. There are so many things to do recently, I'm afraid I can't take care of you too much."

As soon as she mentioned the imperial physician, Bai Qingyang thought about the incident of his drowning again, and felt even more shy and helpless, and even said in a hurried tone: "I understand, Your Majesty has a lot of work to do, go back quickly." Hurry up and disappear from my sight !

Li Zichou didn't understand why she was about to chase her away all of a sudden, so he let out an oh, and then told Xiao Le who was behind Bai Qingyang: "Xiao Le, you have to take good care of your young lady. It’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be a headache.”

Xiao Le chuckled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will take good care of Miss."

She really cares about her young lady.

Bai Qingyang looked at them: ... that's enough! You two are giving me a headache!

After finally sending Li Zishou away, Xiao Le came to make trouble for her.

"Miss, why do you want to drive His Majesty away?" Xiao Le leaned forward and asked without any insight.

Bai Qingyang supported his forehead, thinking that this little girl was too troublesome: "I don't have one."

"But…"

"I suddenly have a headache."

"..."

It's acting up, right?

"I want to rest alone."

Xiao Le shook her head: "In this case, you can ask the imperial physician to treat you, Miss!"

Bai Qingyang: "..." Don't mention the imperial physician anymore!

Bai Qingyang casually flipped through the Tao Te Ching, changed the subject and said, "Go and call Meng Shike over here." She wanted the teacher to question her!

Forget it Xie Zhi, Meng Shike had so many opportunities to explain to her, he never mentioned a word about swimming in the lake!

Xiao Le Yinghao, just took a step, then turned around and asked: "Then the imperial doctor...?"

Bai Qingyang: "..." Everyone said don't mention the imperial physician anymore! !

Xiao Le quickly slipped away before Bai Qingyang couldn't bear to curse, leaving only Bai Qingyang blushing in the main hall of Yuheng Palace.

On the other side, Li Zishou did not return to Tianshu Palace, but dismissed his followers and went to Yaoguang Palace by himself.

Yaoguang Palace, one of the seven palaces that have been idle for a long time, has many pavilions and is usually the place where concubines live. In the generation of Li Zichou, not to mention concubines, even the face-shoulders raised by the original owner were thrown out without exception.

Zhou Huaijin didn't count, he became a full-time employee.

Li Zichou built a field here, which is specially used for training gymnastics. There are a lot of swords here against the wall, most of which have not been sharpened and are used for duels.

It is said to be a training room, but it is actually somewhat similar to a dojo. The straw mats woven with rushes are laid on the ground tightly, and the thick straw woven fabric is stuffed underneath, which helps cushioning. Even if you fall on it, you will not feel much pain, which is environmentally friendly and healthy.

When I came to the place where I usually practiced, I saw Yang Dejin dancing there with a horizontal knife, the kind that opened the blade, whistling, it was dangerous to look at.

Li Zichou stopped him and said, "Okay, don't dance around there, be careful not to hurt yourself."

Yang Dejin clicked his lips, and then put the horizontal knife back into the scabbard: "I'm very careful not to hurt myself."

"I'm afraid you'll hurt me."

Yang Dejin: "?" I haven't seen you for a few days, how did Li Zifu become so hurt?

"You've changed, it's only been a while, and I'm no longer your most important friend." Yang Dejin said grumblingly, covering her heart, "Do you have a new love?!"

Li Zishou: "..." For some reason, when Yang Dejin mentioned Xinhuan, Bai Qingyang's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Yang Dejin, who was waiting for Li Zi to accept the scene: "?" Why did you look away?

Yang Dejin was about to ask, but Li Zichou said abruptly, "That knife is for you."

Yang Dejin was pleasantly surprised: "Really?" She just used it for fun because she thought the pattern on the knife was very beautiful.

"Well." Li Zifu said, "Shangyang Mansion paid tribute to the imperial court, and the golden one is very suitable for you."

Yang Dejin was so happy that he couldn't remember what he wanted to ask just now, so Li Zichou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why do you want me?"

Yang Dejin hung the knife on the leather belt around his waist, and responded, "Isn't it that people will come to the grassland next month? Why did you ask me and Xie Zhi to pick up the foreign guests? What do you want me to do?" ?”

"Shuobei's coming to the DPRK is no small matter. I don't worry if you come to take over." Li Zishou replied, "And from the perspective of outsiders, they will only think that I let you who have never been in contact with foreign affairs do this, and I am making things difficult for you. That's all."

Yang Dejin: "Indeed."

Li Zishou: "Huh?"

"I've never been involved in foreign affairs before, so you're making things difficult for me!" Yang Dejin protested.

"You can learn."

"..." Yang Dejin's eyes widened, "You can't be serious, are you?"

Li Zishou: "You won't be allowed to do it yourself, you and Xie Zhi will act as mascots. At most - just talk **** to the leader of the envoy."

Yang Dejin: "But I'm social terror!"

"..." Li Zichou flicked his eyebrows in disbelief, "...instigating religious believers to mutiny?"

Social terror means social terrorists, right?

Hearing this, Yang Dejin said with erratic eyes, "This..." This...isn't this for solving the case...

"There are so many ways to solve the case, but you chose the most outrageous one!" As if knowing what she was thinking, Li Zifu didn't give her a chance to defend himself, "And he said he wasn't looking for excitement, do you know how much I have? worry about you?!"

Yang Dejin lowered his head in guilt, thinking how he had to be trained again by Li Zichou after being trained by Xie Zhi.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong, I won't do it next time."

Seeing that she really admitted her mistake, Li Zichou didn't hold her back, but said: "Next time you do something like this, you must tell me in advance. Even if you can't find me for a while, you must find a way to tell Zhou Huaijin or Bai Qingyang."

"Huh...huh?" Yang Dejin nodded halfway through, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Forget about Zhou Huaijin, why is Bai Qingyang included? Did Li Zishou trust Bai Qingyang so much?

"Zixou, you and Bai Qingyang..." Yang Dejin asked tentatively.

Li Zichou: "..." Why did the topic that was so difficult to talk about come back again?

"I'm on good terms with Qingyang, don't worry." Li Zichou said simply.

"You call her Qingyang?" Yang Dejin squinted at her.

"?" Li Zichou asked in confusion after hearing this, "What's wrong, didn't I also call you Yang Dejin?"

Yang Dejin: "..."

It's the same, didn't Li Zichou feel that the sense of distance changed when this title came out?

"What's the matter, what's the problem?"

Yang Dejin looked at Li Zishou with a bewildered face, and knew that she didn't realize what was wrong at all, she turned her face away sadly: "It's nothing, it's fine, just keep screaming."

Maybe my radar is too sensitive, not good not good...

But…

Yang Dejin thought of Bai Qingyang's shy and timid attitude following behind Li Zichou this morning. The more I think about it, the more something is wrong. It must not be that simple!

Even if Yang Dejin has ninety-nine percent of her imagination, isn't Li Zifu's behavior not one percent wrong? !

No no no! It's definitely weird, Yang Dejin decided to take a good look after it.

Li Zichou obviously didn't know about the divergent thoughts in Yang Dejin's mind, he just felt that these people were a little weird today, so he thought he might as well give them a few days off.

"You don't have to go to work for a few days, take a vacation. Go to the Ministry of Rites at the beginning of next month, they will teach you."

"Okay," Yang Dejin was very happy when he heard that there was a holiday, "I'll stay up all night tonight!"

Li Zichou: "..." You're a fart if you haven't been online all night!

Li Zichou suddenly thought of something, she looked around nervously, all the maids were dismissed by Li Zichou, without her order, they would not dare to follow.

Li Zichou lowered his voice and secretly said to Yang Dejin: "Well... there are several Nanfeng Pavilions registered in Dongshi, you can go and have a look if you have nothing to do."

Yang Dejin: "...you know I'm not interested in men."

"I'm interested!"

"?"

"No," Li Zichou waved his hand and added, "I'm not interested in men, I just want to know how these cowherd shops operate, I'm so curious!"

"…so?"

"So let you go and investigate for me!"

"Wait a minute, why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Yang Dejin simply didn't know how Li Zichou brought the topic here.

"It's not that you said you'd stay overnight. I thought you shouldn't go to Pingkang all the time, and change your taste occasionally."

Yang Dejin: "?"

It took more than a second for her brain to make a sharp turn, and Yang Dejin came to her senses, and she yelled loudly: "I didn't go shopping in brothels all night!!"

Is she so indiscreet? How could Li Zichou think of her so much? !

"!" Li Zichou hurriedly gestured in a quieter voice, and looked in the direction of the palace gate, "No? Then what are you doing all night?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, but it's definitely not going to whoring!"

"Oh, OK."

"Really..."

"The Nanfeng Pavilion..."

"Watching men sell their butts is a kind of torture for me. I'm still very innocent and I can't bear this crime!" Yang Dejin's attitude is very firm, it seems that no one can force her to go to a male prostitute.

"Hmm..." This doesn't give me any benefit, and I can't talk to others, "The individual crossbows and guns you showed me before have all been improved."

"?" Yang Dejin was a little moved.

"There are already troops equipped, how about I give you a set?"

"..." Yang Dejin was still hesitating.

"Exclusively built, specially made arrows, limited worldwide."

"Deal!" Yang Dejin changed her tough attitude just now, and readily agreed, changing her face at a speed comparable to turning over a book.

Li Zichou: "..." Sure enough, she is still looking for excitement, right? !

The author has something to say:

Yang Dejin: She gave too much.

In the near future, Yang Dejin would wish to kill her current self.
