Chapter 5

Mojue escorted the young misses all the way to the Hall of Changxin.
The ruler of the State of Weiyang, Ye Hanxi, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and several other princes were also present.The beauties had worked hard today, but Qinglan was still the same.
He didn't wear any makeup, but was dressed in a scholar's dress.
Qinglan got out of the carriage first, got dressed, and walked lightly up the hall.
He knelt down and bowed.
His gestures were graceful and graceful.
Behind him were several beauties."The Princess of the Feathered Country, Qinglan, led the ladies to pay their respects to the Emperor of the State of Weiyang.
The Emperor is extremely blessed."Ye Hanxi sat down and swept his gaze around.
The corners of his mouth curved into a sneer.
The Feathered Kingdom must have put in a lot of effort, and all of them were beauties."Take them to the Xin Shi's treasury!" Everyone was astonished."Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!""That's right, Your Majesty.
This marriage was originally for the sake of the bond between the two states.
Her identity as a princess is inconsistent with the ancestral rule.
Moreover, it is His Majesty's request.
Aren't you going back on your words and making the world laugh at you?" The older Wangye advised."Your Majesty, if you do this, where will you abandon the Coalition?""Shut up.
The rules are set by humans.
How can a defeated nation like the Feathered Empire have the right to negotiate terms with Wu Yang?"At this moment, Qinglan raised his head and coincidentally met Ye Hanxi's provocative gaze.
He reached out to stop them from refuting, and waited quietly for them.Qinglan glanced at Hanxi Night and saw his handsome features.
His dark eyes glittered with an inexplicable light.
His thin lips were slightly raised, looking unruly.
Together with his extraordinarily handsome face, his well-built body, and his cold and hard lines, every move he made revealed a natural and domineering aura of a king.
That kind of charm was infatuating.Qinglan made a bet.
"Qinglan dares to ask His Majesty.
Does His Majesty recognize himself as a wise king?""How dare you," berated the attendant.Ye Hanxi raised an eyebrow.
He had expected her to be flustered and flustered, but he didn't expect Qinglan to ask him such a question instead.
"Could it be that princess thinks I'm a tyrant?""Qinglan doesn't dare.
Qinglan is just a woman who doesn't understand political affairs.
He only knows that there is nothing he can say.
Besides, His Majesty originally requested for a marriage alliance.
Now that Qinglan and the other young misses have arrived in the State of Weiyang, His Majesty has exiled them to the treasury of the Xin Shihuang for no reason.
If outsiders found out about this, I wonder what the citizens of Weiyang would think of His Majesty.""..."Ye Hanxi raised an eyebrow and asked her to continue speaking.
Qinglan grew bolder and said, "If His Majesty loses his trust because of Qinglan and the others, wouldn't it be worth it?
Even if His Majesty wants to banish us to the Xin Shi's treasury, he should give Qinglan a legitimate reason."Seeing how serious she was, Ye Hanxi raised his interest in Qinglan and deliberately made things difficult for him."If you say so, I can't punish you as I please.
It's time to banish all of you.""I wouldn't dare." Qinglan was neither servile nor overbearing."But if I insist on being a tyrant, what can you do to me?""Your Majesty!" The empress didn't know why the emperor had deliberately made things difficult for these beauties today.
She had always been worried that these beauties would be favored in the future, and her status would be in danger.
Seeing that Ye Hanxi didn't intend to banish them, she was already secretly overjoyed.
She didn't want to kill Cheng Zhejin along the way."Your Majesty, it's been a long journey for all of you.
Why don't you let them rest first?""The empress tried to dissuade her.
She was afraid that things would deviate from her plan.The empress sought help from the Empress Dowager.
However, the Empress Dowager didn't say anything.
She wanted to see how the Emperor would deal with these women."Qinglan is a woman, so he doesn't dare to make a rash decision.
But he has heard the Grand Tutor teach him before: A wood cultivator must strengthen his foundation; those who want to travel far away must obtain the spring water.
Those who want the country to be safe must accumulate their virtues.Monarchs can see and desire, but thinking is enough to quit; if they do, they will think about and calm people; if they are at high risk of thinking, they will rush and start from scratch; if they are full of fear, they will go down to the hundred rivers; when they swim, they will think of how to do it; when they are restless, they will think carefully and respect the end; when they think about it, they will take it without thinking; when they think of evil, they will take it seriously; when they think of kindness, they will be rewarded for nothing, and when they are punished, they will be punished without any anger.All in all, Hongz Jiude."Wei Zhengan Overlord's Ten Thoughts"Not only did the princes and queens nod in praise, but Mojue was even more shocked.
The young misses behind her were already dumbfounded.
They only knew that Qinglan was a princess whom Yuguo didn't favor, but they didn't know that she had such talent.
She even dared to persuade the emperor in the main hall.
What they didn't know was that Qinglan, like Qinghong, had learned the Dao of Monarchs.There were no restrictions between men and women for the succession of the throne."For a king, for a long time in politics, and for a tyrant, he will die quickly." That stifling sentence."It's a good saying that the water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat.
As a ruler, I believe in your words.
Today, I can allow you to stay, but."There were only a few words that made Ye Hanxi treat her differently.
However, he didn't expect that Qinglan would be interested in the Dao of Monarchs.
However, there was only one goal in the first place, and he didn't want to change because of her special nature.
He had already made up his mind."Please speak, Your Majesty." Qinglan kowtowed to the ground.
As long as they could survive, as long as they didn't harm the nation's physique, she would definitely agree."It's not impossible to leave them behind.
In fact, I can even immediately banish them.
The premise is that you can stay by my side and serve as my servants.
What do you think?" He smiled provocatively."Your Majesty, this is against the palace rules." The empress Deling couldn't contain her anger.
She didn't understand why Ye Hanxi would do this, so she quickly stopped him.
The dignified princess of a nation had never been a palace maid in Weiyang.
However, before she could finish her words, the princes and young misses had already tried to persuade Qinglan."Princess Qinglan?""Princess Qinglan, we know that this is very unfair to you, but don't you think that we're all going to the Xin Shifu to wait for death?""That's right, Princess Qinglan.
Please let yourself be wronged and promise His Majesty.
Don't worry.
As long as we dote on you, we will definitely speak a few words of praise for you.""How can you take the life of a princess for self-preservation?" Liu Wanyi spoke on behalf of Qing Lanming."Shut up.
Do you want to wait for death in the Xin Shihuang's treasury?" Wen Yi said softly."But that can't be done.
It's detrimental to the nation.
Princess, Wanyi is willing to accompany princess.""Princess, you are a man who cherishes his life.
As the saying goes, Qingshan is not worried about not having firewood, princess?""That's right, Princess.
Princess doesn't want us all to die, right?
We finally arrived in the country.
Do you want us to die from travel?"Qinglan lowered his head.
Even though she was used to the cold and warmth of people, she was still hurt by their words.
If he agreed, it would harm the Feather Country.
If he didn't agree, he would be waiting for death in the Xin Shihuang.
Was he suffering alone, or was he waiting for death?
Qinglan weighed his options and hesitated.Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help but feel pity for her.Ye Hanxi, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying a good show.
"Aiya, this really makes things difficult for others.
You're the princess of a nation, yet you're willing to become my servant's maid.
Look at how you've suffered.
Forget it, I won't force you.
It's better for me to go to Xin Zheku.
Someone..." His words carried a threat.
He emphasized the words 'Xin Zheku', forcing Qinglan to make a decision."Hold on!" Qinglan clenched his teeth and sat up straight.
"Qinglan can just agree."The moment these words were spoken, everyone was once again surprised.
Ye Hanxi, however, was confident and confident.
He smiled and left.
He didn't forget to order his attendants to bring Qinglan to the imperial study.
This was like a farce that left everyone confused, but no one dared to say anything.Qinglan appeared in front of Ye Hanxi.
He had already changed into a palace suit, and was dressed in a pinkish-blue palace suit.
A silver belt was decorated, and it was simple and elegant.
There was a piece of Bai Yu on his fair and delicate neck that he often wore under his collar.
There was no expression on his face, and he looked like a fairy who didn't know the mortal world.Although she was a palace maid, she was still a third rank imperial maid.
She was of a higher rank than the bestowed beauties.
This was quite interesting.
Ye Hanxi was probably the only one who knew the real reason."I, Qing Lan, greet the Emperor.
His Majesty is blessed."Ye Hanxi held a memorial in his hand and dismissed everyone.
He wasn't in a hurry to get Qinglan to his feet.
After a long time, he recalled his cold and magnetic voice and said, "You were originally a princess of a nation, so you didn't have to call yourself a servant.""Qinglan thanks Your Majesty."Ye Hanxi walked up to her and lifted her chin, asking, "Do you know why I kept you here?""I don't know!" Qinglan said nonchalantly."Then do you hate me?"Qinglan lifted his eyes, afraid that his ears might have misheard him.
He just happened to bump into Ye Hanxi's eyes, which were deep and without any signs of joy or anger.
However, a flash of hatred flashed across his eyes, making Qinglan think that he was mistaken.She thought about it for a moment.
"I hate you, and I'm grateful."This answer was unexpected.
"Oh?""Qinglan couldn't protect himself in the imperial harem of the Feather Country, and he couldn't afford to fight for the throne.
It was also because of the marriage that I was able to leave the place where I was worried every day.
I had just entered a different prison.
Qinglan wasn't a saint, and he was afraid of dying.
As a woman, I had to wait for death in the Xin Shifu.
Although it was harmful to the nation's physique, it didn't matter if I wanted to be the emperor's maid."..."Qinglan deliberately said this, making him think that she was just a woman, and that everything was just a sacrifice.She was satisfied with what she said, so she continued to ask her, "Who taught you what you said today?""Grand tutor!""The Grand Tutor also taught you the Dao of the Monarch?""No, I just heard it while I was studying with the Crown Prince.""Then what do you think is the Bright Monarch?""The people are noble, and the society is second.
The monarch is light."Ye Hanxi admired Qinglan somewhat.
This wasn't something an ordinary princess could say.
He was a little curious about Qinglan.
It seemed like the Feather Country had given him a treasure, but it wasn't good for him to be too smart.
Killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, which didn't contain a hint of joy or anger.
"Then, do you think I'm a wise ruler?""Qinglan doesn't know!""Hehe, I don't know!" Ye Hanxi paced over to Qinglan once again and lifted her chin, allowing her to meet his gaze.
In that instant, his beauty shook everyone.
"You really are making me happier and happier.
Why don't I let you witness how I will become a wise ruler?
It might be a good decision to leave you alive!"."Hehe, I don't know!" Ye Hanxi paced over to Qinglan once again and lifted her chin, allowing her to meet his gaze.
The sight of her was truly stunning.
"You really are making me more and more excited.
Why don't I let you witness how I will become a wise ruler?
Perhaps it's a good decision to leave you alive!"Qinglan stared blankly at Ye Hanxi.Ye Hanxi, on the other hand, looked at her with a charming smile.
"Go down and learn the palace etiquette from Zhong Ling.
It's not easy to be righteous.
If you don't pay attention, you'll lose your head."Ye Hanxi summoned an elderly palace maid.
Zhong Ling was the steward aunt of the palace, and she served him with all her heart.
As he watched Qing Lan's body gradually move away, the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.
He wanted to settle her down.
