Chapter 651: Shocked Xuanyuan Gen
Chapter 651: Shocked Xuanyuan Gen
The next day.
Lu Beichen, who lived in Prince Gen's Mansion, received an imperial edict that only the ninth day of July was suitable for marriage. If he was not satisfied, he would have to wait until September for the nearest auspicious day. There was nothing he could do, as he was afraid that the Queen would quarrel with him, so he had to hold his nose and choose July to get married.
After the imperial decree was announced, Lu Beichen was invited to the palace for "tea".
I originally thought that he was going to be benched, but I never thought that he was too narrow-minded. Xuanyuan Hong was after the manufacturing drawings of the Nine-Repeated Crossbow.
Lu Beichen naturally did not hide anything and handed over the drawings without even the slightest hesitation.
"I want to ask you, are you related to the death of the King and the Crown Prince of Li?" Xuanyuan Hong's eyes were as threatening as an eagle at this moment.
Most people would be terrified to see this, but Lu Beichen was not afraid at all. He looked directly into the emperor's eyes and nodded slightly: "I killed him."
Lu Beichen accepted it without any hesitation.
"So, those betrothal gifts really did come from the Li Kingdom."
"Yes." The answer was concise and to the point.
"Good boy! I didn't expect you to be so bold. If I hadn't agreed to your marriage with Ling'er, would you still be thinking of taking her out of the palace?"
This time, Lu Beichen didn't nod. "No, I will respect the princess's opinion. If she is willing to go with me, I will take her away without hesitation. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her."
Xuanyuan Hong did not see any hesitation in his eyes. He was very sure that Lu Beichen was speaking the truth and was not being hypocritical.
"Oh? What if I don't agree? What do you think?"
"I will do my best to impress your majesty and do everything in my power to satisfy you."
Sincerity is always the most touching thing, especially for such a resourceful person. Because of this communication, Xuanyuan Hong completely changed his opinion of Lu Beichen.
"Can you play chess?" Xuanyuan Hong asked.
"I know a little bit." He didn't know how to do it originally, but there were a few chess masters around him, so he learned 99% of it by watching and listening to them.
"How about playing a game with me?"
"Yes."
In fact, Lu Beichen was a little curious about why black and white chess could achieve the unity of the dimensions. The way of playing chess here was exactly the same as in his world.
Lu Beichen received the true teachings from Fu Dad and Yuan Chenghua, and is unrivaled in the chess world.
Xuanyuan Hong was a little surprised. One can tell a person's character by how he plays chess.
Lu Beichen has a quick mind and a calm personality. Every step he takes is planned. Facing his relentless pressure, he can always counter his moves.
Xuanyuan Gen went out to do something, and when he came back he heard that Lu Beichen was invited into the palace. By the time he found out, it was already two hours later.
Worried that he would have a conflict with his father, he immediately prepared a carriage and rushed to the palace.
As a result, I was stunned by the scene before me.
The emperor, who was always only friendly to his mother, was actually smiling at Lu Beichen.
He once thought it was an illusion. When had his father ever been so kind to outsiders? Not even to his ministers and the princes like them, he had never been like this. It was truly rare to see such a thing.
Even when he requested to see his father, he had to be informed three times before he was called in.
What’s even more heartbreaking is yet to come.
Xuanyuan Gen stood there for a whole incense stick of time before his presence was discovered, and the one who discovered him was Lu Beichen, who had his back to him.
When Xuanyuan Hong saw his son, he frowned slightly, as if disturbing him, and his voice was full of displeasure: "Why are you here?"
At this moment, he wanted to give himself a song "Liangliang" to express the depression in his heart.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask Father, if there is anything you need me to do. I will definitely do my best to help you."
The little thoughts in his mind were not out of his control. Xuanyuan Hong put on a sour face and asked, "Are you free these days?"
"Uh." He was choked and didn't know how to answer.
Xuanyuan Hong didn't really want to embarrass him, so he waved his hand and said, "Since you are here, leave the palace with Cheng Yi."
Xuanyuan Gen was even more confused. Who was Cheng Zhi? He had never heard of anyone with that name.
"Chengzhi, let's fight again another day." Xuanyuan Hong was in a good mood. He hadn't enjoyed himself so much in a long time.
I originally just wanted to use this to test the other person, but I didn't expect that in the end I would feel that we had met too late.
He has no words, no problem, pick them up on the spot...
Lu Beichen stood up and bowed: "Yes."
Xuanyuan Gen didn't even know how he left the palace.
Waving her hand in front of his eyes, Lu Beichen looked puzzled: "Brother Gen, what's wrong with you?"
Xuanyuan Gen came back to his senses and stared at Lu Beichen blankly. After a long while, he finally said, "How did you do that?"
"??? Hmm? What's the matter?" Lu Beichen's mind was full of questions.
"How did you manage to make the emperor love you so much?" Xuanyuan Gen now submits to no one but him. He can even easily deal with his father, who is always difficult to deal with. He is simply unparalleled.
"Nothing much. First he asked about the Nine-Repeated Crossbow, then we talked about some personal matters, and then we played chess." Lu Beichen explained concisely.
"Is that all?"
"Isn't this enough?" Lu Beichen looked confused.
He himself was also very confused. He didn't do anything at all. He just played chess with them and chatted with them randomly during the process.
Without even noticing what happened, the Emperor's attitude towards him changed 360 degrees.
If Xuanyuan Gen hadn't asked, he wouldn't even have noticed.
"Is that enough?" Xuanyuan Gen's face was full of disbelief.
"Isn't that enough? You look surprised."
Finally, Xuanyuan Gen patted Lu Beichen on the shoulder and said, "Beichen, you don't know this. As your father, apart from being kind to the Queen Mother, this is the first time I've seen him treat anyone other than her like this. He even treats us, his children, harshly. Even Ling'er has never been treated this way. You are the only one."
Lu Beichen even saw envy, jealousy and hatred on his face.
He touched his nose, feeling somewhat proud, and made a rare joke: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent."
"···"
Well, that's not wrong...
The wedding is approaching, and there are many places in the house that need to be repaired.
"Leave the renovations to me." After a moment's thought, he asked, "Your house isn't small. Do you need my help with the servants?"
"No need, Lingling is a professional in this area."
She has simulation robots on her side. Who could be more loyal than the system's anti-shock robots?
"Well, luckily we still have a month to make arrangements. Your wedding is indeed a bit rushed."
"You know, we don't have much time here, and Lingling wants to go to Wanyao Valley to study Chinese medicine."
It’s not in vain that you follow Xuanyuan Gen’s dramas. In their world, the medical field is divided into two types of medical skills.
Although both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine can save lives, their methods are completely different.
He also benefited a lot and once thought about promoting Western medicine in the Xuanyuan Dynasty, but now he has no idea how to do it. If he wants to achieve the balance between Chinese and Western medicine, he has a long way to go.
