Chapter 158 Xie Lang knows how to bribe people
Wen Hemian: “…”
Wen Hemian was afraid that he would say more unbearable words, so his eyebrows jumped and he asked, "Your Majesty, why didn't you rest in the palace at night and sneaked to the palace? Do you think you have too much energy?"
Being an emperor is hard work. No matter how diligent Xie Lang is, he may have to review memorials for four or five hours every day. If he doesn't get enough rest, his body will be worn out sooner or later.
Xie Lang's eyes were fixed, not at all embarrassed: "I can't sleep without you here."
Wen Hemian laughed: "Do I have a sleeping effect? Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that your headache is gradually easing. You have to get used to it as soon as possible so that you can get better quickly."
Wen Hemian chose to follow Wen Chengyuan back home after considering this issue. Xie Lang's excessive dependence on her might not be a good thing.
This is a mental illness and he has to rely on himself to overcome it.
Xie Lang refused: "No."
After saying this, Xie Lang didn't look like he was going to leave. He just stood by the window, looking at her quietly without moving.
It seems to depend on who has more patience.
Wen Hemian felt both amused and helpless at his childish behavior. He was usually dignified and indifferent in front of outsiders, but in front of her he really didn't care about his face at all. He retracted his sharp claws pitifully, hoping to be kept by her.
Just as I was about to say something, there were two knocks on the door.
"Shuang'er, you haven't rested yet?"
Wen Hemian heard her father's voice, her pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly responded: "Yes, I was just washing up."
"That's good." Wen Chengyuan stopped outside, with no intention of coming in. There was no unusual emotion in his tone. "The secret guard told father that he saw a rat coming this way. Did it not enter your room?"
Wen Hemian: “…”
Xie Lang: "..."
It's hard not to wonder what's going on.
Wen Hemian covered his lower lip and said calmly, "No."
"That's good, that's good." Wen Chengyuan muttered a few words, as if he just wanted to say this. After achieving his goal, he went back home, "Go to bed early, my father will go back first."
As they were talking, the footsteps gradually faded away.
It seems that he really left.
The secret guards are, after all, the secret guards of the palace. Even though they would not stop the emperor who came secretly, they had the duty to tell the other master. What Wen Chengyuan wanted to convey was that he knew Xie Lang was here.
His Majesty, the emperor who was a rat himself, finally restrained himself a little. He offered, "I'll sleep on the small couch."
Wen Hemian's room was decorated entirely according to her own preferences. The small couch was more spacious and comfortable than the one in the palace, and was almost like a small bed.
She glanced at it and nodded: "Okay."
In this way, it seemed as if they had returned to the time when they had just met again, but this time there were no chains. Listening to another even and rising breathing sound in the room, Wen Hemian quickly fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, Xie Lang was no longer in the room.
Since there was no court session today, Wen Hemian was not in a hurry.
When I went out, Wen Chengyuan just came back from morning exercise. It was hot and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. He wiped them away without caring: "Let's go have breakfast."
Wen Chengyuan saw through what happened last night but didn't expose it. His daughter is more opinionated than anyone else. Since she has made a decision, she will know how to handle it properly.
Wen Hemian felt warm in his heart and had breakfast with Wen Chengyuan.
Before they could finish chatting for a few words, Qingyun came in from outside: "My Lord, Miss, there are people coming to the palace, but they didn't stay. They just delivered something and left."
Wen Chengyuan's eyebrows jumped, and when he saw the servants holding wooden boxes behind Qingyun, he said, "Bring it here for me to see."
Wen Hemian had a guess, but didn't say anything. He stared at the wooden box opening. When he saw what was inside, his guess was confirmed.
It was none other than a musket.
Fire guns are not easy to make. These two were probably made in a hurry, but they were not perfunctory at all.
Wen Hemian had talked about this kind of weapon with her parents when she was at the border, but the materials were insufficient at the time, and searching for it on a large scale would be too blatant, so the idea of making it had to be put on hold for the time being.
Everyone likes good things, especially those that can be used on the battlefield. Wen Chengyuan felt quite regretful about this at the time, but now when he sees the musket, his eyes light up.
"Good stuff!" He touched it, but didn't pick it up hastily because he didn't know how to use it. He turned his gaze to Wen Hemian, "Shuang'er, how should I use this thing?"
Wen Hemian had many new ideas in his mind, and Wen Chengyuan and Qin Yi knew it well. They were probably related to the system. In order to avoid touching on things that could not be said, they would ask directly whenever they had any questions.
"Come to the yard and I'll teach you."
Wen Hemian felt amused and thought that Xie Lang knew how to bribe people.
Sure enough, after she taught Wen Chengyuan how to use the musket, Wen Chengyuan held the treasure tightly and refused to let go. Uncle Lu beside him would occasionally agree with him, and the two of them chatted with great interest.
After this incident, although Wen Chengyuan still treated Xie Lang badly, his attitude had improved visibly. Just as he himself said, he did not want to be a bad guy.
The couple had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally their daughter had grown up successfully. They could boldly do whatever she wanted.
Life on earth is but a short hundred years. It would be truly miserable if we had no freedom at all.
In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is soon here.
Over the past few days, most people in the capital were watching the situation in the palace. Life was peaceful inside, but outside, it was turbulent. However, after everyone had grumbled, Prince Huailing did not take any action and it seemed that he was not going to pursue the matter.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that with Lord Wen in the middle, even if a conflict occurs, there will be some reservations.
Besides, Prince Huailing currently holds military power, so it would be best if they could live in peace.
Taking advantage of the special opportunity of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xie Lang finally found a chance to invite people into the palace openly.
Wen Chengyuan said nothing, changed his clothes and entered the palace with his daughter.
The imperial kitchen is always good at serving people and taking into account different tastes when cooking. In the past, it was Xie Lang and Wen Hemian, but now there is Wen Chengyuan, who is not fooling around at all and makes dishes that suit his taste.
All in all, the meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
Looking at the little emperor being attentive to his daughter at the dinner table, Wen Chengyuan sighed. Although he was a little unhappy, he was more satisfied in the end.
He knew that the timing of his return was not good. His daughter had not yet come to terms with the little emperor, and now, once he left, it was likely that it would almost be settled.
Xie Lang said: "General, you might consider staying for a few more days. The Grand Tutor must think so too."
Xie Lang knew that Wen Chengyuan would leave after the Dragon Boat Festival. He selfishly wanted to be alone with Wen Hemian, but he also didn't want to see her sad, so it might be a good idea to keep Wen Chengyuan for a few more days.
"No." Wen Chengyuan shook his head. His face was serious, and his gentle appearance was gone. He was an invincible general who had fought on the battlefield. "The barbarians are restless. If I stay for a long time, I am afraid something unexpected will happen."
