The flowers are awakening in February.

Prince Yong’s Mansion.

There was already a warm spring sun shining on the flowerbed trail, and a potted plant in autumn and winter was bleak. Bai Yunxiang, a plump figure, and the dignified and gentle Su Qiaoniang followed her husband with her eyes full of worry. She opened her mouth and swallowed her back.

"I know what you want to say for my husband." Geng Qing carried a big scissor and imitated Jiuyu to cultivate and prune the potted plants that he didn't like. It seemed that he was not angry because of the loss of many soldiers in Shu. His son's whereabouts were unknown. He leisurely bathed in the morning sun and cut off the randomly growing branches and leaves. "But needless to say, what you worry about will not happen."

"Hmm? Uncle has already received the news from Nian'er?"

Bai Yunxiang has been in a state of uneasy for nearly a month, not thinking about tea or food, and is following Geng Qing's butt every day, wanting to know the news about her son who is far away in Shu as soon as possible.

Now that I heard my husband say this, his thin face suddenly showed an anxious look. He walked over Qiao Niang next to him and grabbed Geng Qing's sleeve. At this time, he didn't care about the etiquette of the palace.

Of course, Geng Qing enjoys such "no rules" after all, home does not have too many constraints, so it is like home.

"Husband, you are more than Sister Yunxiang."

Qiao Niang was also anxious with Bai Yunxiang during this period. She watched Nian'er grow up, and after all, she was an aunt. She was all handled by herself in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and she could be regarded as her own son.

She walked to the side and used a trick to pull Geng Qing's cuffs and shake them slowly. Her originally dignified and pretty cheeks raised slightly, and she looked like she was acting cute. Geng Qing often told her, "Women, if you are more likely to act cute and be loved, your life will be better."

With his handsome appearance, Geng Qing also enjoyed this suit the most. Qiao Niang pouted and shook her sleeves a few times, said with a coquettish smile, "Okay, okay, if you shake it again, your husband's sleeves will be almost torn to pieces."

Geng Qing smiled and pushed the two girls away one by one, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "The news was sent to the mansion in the early morning. Nian'er and Jiuyu have already arrived at the Chang'an territory. At most tomorrow, you will see it. There is no injury. It is just that Shu is wet and cold, the climate is uncomfortable, and I have a gust of wind and cold. On the way back, I have seen the doctor recover."

"Thank God... Thank you for the blessing of the Bodhisattva!"

Bai Yunxiang relaxed, folded her hands together and bowed to the sky, quickly accused her of guilt, and took the hem of her skirt to find the old lady to go to the Buddhist temple to respect the gods and fulfill her wishes. Qiao Niang also wanted to follow her, but Geng Qing pulled her back and pointed at her lips.

"How? If you know the news, you will not repay it as your husband?"

The old husband and wife are all right. If this request is in the room, it is naturally nothing wrong with it. But in the yard, there are maids and servants watching, Qiao Niang naturally can't let go. She looked at the maids behind her. The latter several people quickly turned their heads down and turned around. They all knew that King Yong never acted as a king in front of the eldest lady, or in the backyard.

"When it's dark... I'm going to do it, so many people are watching here..." Su Qiaoniang gave her husband a little annoyed, but Geng Qing walked over by herself, hugging her and refused to leave. The woman angrily punched the man's shoulder with her small fist, blushed her face slightly, kissed her, feeling that the hand that was holding behind her waist was released, and hurriedly left, called her maid Lian'er, and hurried out of the flowerbed trail with lotus steps.

hehe......

Geng Qing smiled and shook his head, turned around, threw the scissors on the ground for the servant to take away, then walked straight forward with his hands behind his back, passed the crescent gate, and walked up to the stone bridge on the water pavilion. Dou Wei had already rushed over from the front yard. He coaxed the children around him, stood there and bowed.

"The Lord's family, the messenger from Shu has been waiting in the front yard for an hour."

"Is he anxious?"

"I'm anxious... I don't drink tea, sit on the chair, and keep moving my feet."

"Well, it's almost done."

Geng Qing smiled when he heard Dou Wei observing the other party's description. He did not put on airs in front of his family, but it did not mean that he did not show off the aura of King Yong in front of outsiders. Moreover, the other party was here to pay a visit to him, and the two sides were fighting. Hanging it on and dry it, and then smoothing the other party's temper first so that it would be easier to speak, right?

After passing the water pavilion, he came to the front yard. The guards in the mansion and the maids and servants in the front yard salute one by one. Zhao Huanzhi, who was sitting in the middle hall, heard the movement and hurriedly got up. At the door, a man in his thirties was about thirty years old, wearing a round neckline and narrow sleeve robe, was stepping into the threshold and looking at him with a smile. Behind him was there a fat guard with a beard who had greeted him before.

"Is it the envoy of Zhao?"

"Zhao Huanzhi pays homage to King Yong."

The messenger from Shu hurriedly bowed. Geng Qing, who came in, raised his hand and walked straight to the first place to sit down, pressing his palm towards the other party.

"Sit down and talk, there are not many rules in the palace."

The maid brought the tea over, Geng Qing took a sip, and after the other party sat down, he exchanged some casual greetings.

"I am busy every day, and I only have time to meet the envoy today. I hope I don't mind. Oh, by the way, are the officials in my mansion being disrespectful these days in the city?"

In an ordinary sentence, others could not hear the concern, but Zhao Huanzhi on the other side was so scared that his face turned pale, and the teacup in his hand shook.

He ran around the city, trying to make peace talks, bribed many officials and collected gifts. If King Yong knew about it, no one would like this one after all.

"The officials in the Yong Prince's Mansion are all kind... and treat Huan very well."

"That's right." Geng Qing nodded with a smile, "From the way, if you want to give gifts, just give them to Gu. Give them a gift. They will just turn around and hand them over to Gu. It's so troublesome to go there, so don't do this next time."

Zhao Huanzhi's face was covered with cold sweat, and he swallowed his spits, not daring to look at the first King Yong.

"yes....."

"Don't be restrained, just talk about the serious business."

Seeing that it was almost done, Geng Qing stopped going around the circle and directly spoke out the price of peace negotiations. He pointed out two fingers, "If you want Gu Longyou's troops to withdraw, you can transport them a batch of food and fodder in Shu, and let the governor of Longyou decide the specific amount, but Gu only has two conditions here."

When he was on a mission to Chang'an, Zhao Huanzhi had already had a vain in his heart. Before leaving, the new emperor naturally revealed that it was difficult to say whether he could satisfy the opposite King Yong. As for providing a batch of food and fodder to the Longyou Army, it was nothing at all.

He hesitated for a moment, stood up and bowed: "Please let King Yong make a clear statement."

"Okay, then Gu Ke said......"

Geng Qing's smiling look made Dou Wei's eyelids twitch when he saw it. When he turned his face and looked outside, Geng Qing's voice had already sounded in the middle hall.

"Gu has a bad habit. I have heard of it. Gu has a good relationship with the late emperor (Zhu Wen), like-minded, and both like beautiful women. I heard that Wang Jian has two concubines, and is a sister with the surname Xu. He has a beautiful country with a beautiful figure. He is very stature. Gu is unbearable in his heart. He has long wanted to have a love for his beauty."

Dou Wei's eyelids twitched. King Yong really lived up to the name of "Cao Thief". He asked for women and widows when he spoke...

Zhao Huanzhi on the other side, if he hadn't been at the Yong Prince's Mansion, would have already started to curse at this time. He endured his unhappiness and said in a gentle voice: "Is this a bit inappropriate for King Yong? Sister Xu is the wife of the late emperor, and she is also the mother of His Majesty..."

"It's because of the widow, the orphan."

"Ah?" Zhao Huanzhi opened his mouth in a daze, not knowing how to continue the conversation. After a while, he quickly waved his hand: "King Yong, you can't do it, you can't do it..."

Before he could finish his words, Geng Qing's smile gradually became colder and his eyes became cold.

"Are you doing business with or bargaining? This is the first condition of orphans, the second..." Geng Qing choked his next finger, and his voice became cold.

"Gu still wants Shannan West Road. Just these two conditions. If you bring the words to Wang Zongyan, if you don't give them, let's continue fighting. By the way, the Tubo people and Gu are doing business together. On several occasions, they even sent people to discuss another big thing. It's just right for the war in Shu. Do you think Gu wants to do this business with them?"

"King Yong, this is not possible..."
