Chapter 384 (1/2)

Chu Changqing sat in the courtyard prepared by the state of Qin for them for a long time. His mouth was full of the aroma of green tea. He looked at the delicious dishes on the table and raised his eyebrows. Some asked lazily, ”the emperor is considerate. We haven't entered the palace yet. All the delicious and delicious food has been sent to us. I really don't know how to use chopsticks when I look at the delicious food on the table.”

General Kur had already stuffed his mouth with food, chewed it over and over and said, ”when you don't know how to move chopsticks, I've almost eaten it. I think you always drink the green tea. You don't come to eat the roast duck. I feel that the oil in the meat will flow into my throat.”

Chu Changqing smiled with a low eyebrow and casually took a chopstick of cabbage. ”I know the general has been thinking about the roast duck in the capital of the state of Qin for a long time, but you'd better not eat too much. That greasy food is most likely to hurt your stomach. You must drink more green tea to relieve the greasiness after you finish your meal.”

General Kur ate a few more mouthfuls as if he hadn't heard it. ”By the way, where has Princess Ku gone? I haven't seen her since I arrived in Kyoto. Is she sleeping in her room? It should be time for dinner.”

Chu Changqing sighed helplessly. ”You said how could the princess sleep in her room? She had already wandered in the street. She said she wanted to have a good look at what the most prosperous city in the world looks like. Now she should buy all kinds of clothes and jewelry in the street.”

”If I had known, I would have asked the princess to bring me some. I have to go back and bring it to my daughter,” general Kur turned and thought. ”But the princess knew it was from Xirong. At this time, it was Xirong who had a bad relationship with the state of Qin. The people of the state of Qin wouldn't do anything to her. Come on, I'm afraid she would be in danger.”

Chu Changqing smiled. ”Don't worry, general. The princess has many helpers around her. She also knows martial arts. If someone really attacks her, we don't have to worry. The princess and those helpers are enough to deal with the common people.”

General Kur had a toast with him. ”Kyoto looks good, especially the food is better than that of Xirong. It would be better if we could bring some cooks back to Xirong. We and my daughters can also eat delicious food in Xirong.”

”If you have such an idea, just tell the emperor when you see the emperor. Won't he satisfy you yet,” said Chu Changqing. ”But in my opinion, the emperor of the state of Qin doesn't seem to be very interested in Princess Gu.”

General Kur was stunned, stopped his chopsticks and asked, ”what do you say? I'm Princess Gu, but I'm the first beauty in Xirong. Why doesn't the emperor dare to be interested? I don't think there may be a beauty like a princess in the state of Qin.”

”Although the princess is beautiful, the emperor is not interested,” Chu Changqing half narrowed his eyes. ”Doesn't the general know that there is only one person in the emperor's back palace, the queen who shared joys and sorrows with him until he ascended the throne. For many years, there is only her around him, and there has never been anyone else.”

General Kur frowned and said, ”do you mean that the emperor has only the queen in his heart and won't take the princess in his eyes?”

”Yes, according to my reliable information, the relationship between the emperor and the queen is quite deep. The emperor should not give up his hairy wife and let the princess become the queen instead.”

”That's not necessarily. For a king of a country, interests are always more important than feelings. Now Xirong is pressing the border. He can't not understand this truth,” general Kur bit his chopsticks. ”Besides, Princess Gu can't be a concubine. She must be a queen, even a noble princess.”

Chu Changqing nodded, ”you said a lot, but with the queen, we should be more cautious. What if the emperor really only loves beautiful people and doesn't want rivers and mountains? He would rather let Princess Gu go home and keep his position as a beauty. It's going to be difficult.”

”It's impossible,” general Kur whispered. ”The war between Xirong and the state of Qin will only be a lose lose situation. The emperor can't joke about the whole state of Qin.”

Chu Changqing's eyes became more and more profound, ”if only it were as we thought.”

The breeze stirred the curtain, and the room was filled with the smell of sandalwood. Chu Changqing sat quietly at the table. His eyes were deep. He didn't know what to think. The wind grew stronger and stronger. He gently raised his eyes and looked at the curtain. Hehe said with a smile: ”you don't have to pretend to be a ghost anymore. I know you're back and hide behind the curtain.”

There was a rustle in the curtain. Gu fan jumped out of the curtain in a woman's dress of the state of Qin, tooted his mouth and said, ”it's really boring. You know I'm inside.”

”Of course I know you're inside,” Chu Changqing narrowed her eyes and looked at her for a while. ”How did you dress like this? You look like a woman in the state of Qin. Your eyebrows and eyes smell like Xirong. Did you go out for most of the day to buy clothes?”

Gu Gu smiled. ”What else do you do if you don't buy clothes? Did I go to the street to listen to books?”

Chu Changqing took her into his arms, smelled the flavor of Xirong spices on her, and sighed with satisfaction, ”you still know something about Kyoto, and you know that there are storytellers on Kyoto street, which is more powerful than general Kur who only knows how to eat and drink.”

”As the eldest princess of Xirong, I still have to study, or my father and Emperor will blame me for my lack of courage,” Gu raised his bright red lips and said with a smile, ”shall we go into the palace to see the emperor tomorrow?”
