Chapter 566: The Extra Story of Flowers on the Road Begins (Part )
"Osmanthus candy - Missy's sweet osmanthus candy -"

"The tuckahoe cake that has been steamed and dried three times, and the tuckahoe cake that has been covered in a gauze cage—"

The streets of Guanyi City are still bustling with people coming and going.

After Xue Shuangtao walked out of the Xue Mansion, she stopped after a long time. She just felt a little depressed in her heart. She could clearly see the beautiful spring scenery, people coming and going, and the atmosphere in the world was very good, but she had a feeling of melancholy.

She just understood more clearly what Li Guanyi said.

Many things are neither good nor evil; they exist inherently.

Even though Xue Shuangtao had guessed about the little thoughts going on in the minds of everyone in the Xue family, she was still greatly shocked when this day really came.

Some things, when they are expected and when they actually happen, give people two completely different levels of feelings.

Although she made the decision, she still felt indescribably depressed.

"It really makes me feel depressed..."

She looked up and saw that the people around her were doing their own things, each living their own life.

Today in Guanyi City, the spring scenery is still there, and it has even become more lively because of the Qin Emperor's marriage proposal ceremony. People have smiles on their faces, and the topic of discussion is the marriage of the founding emperor.

But Xue Shuangtao felt a sense of out of place.

It was as if the things people were discussing had nothing to do with her.

After what happened today, she sees things more clearly.

Yes, what the people longed for and expected was the marriage between the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the eldest daughter of the Xue family who had been in Guanyi City for hundreds of years. It was a big event, and beyond that, it was a hope -

Such a big thing can serve as a symbol.

It symbolizes the end of the chaotic era of the past.

It symbolizes the beginning of a new era of peace and prosperity.

It is just like setting off firecrackers during the New Year, with similar meaning.

A new era begins.

The marriage of the Emperor and the Empress should bring joy to the whole world.

Such a marriage is no longer just a matter between the two of them, nor is it just a matter between two so-called families, but a matter for the entire world and a responsibility.

"Duty?"

Xue Shuangtao put his hands behind his back and tapped his back lightly with his slender fingers.

The world is at peace, and the emperor and empress are engaged.

It is the responsibility of the Lord of Changfeng Tower and the Emperor of Qin.

It conveys a sense of stability to the world. In this era, maintaining public opinion in this way is actually an extremely important government matter.

The Lord of Changfeng Tower fully understood this major event rationally, but he still felt a sense of loss in his heart. What he had been looking forward to for a long time had turned out to be a general government responsibility. But even so, didn't he expect this to happen?
Plus what happened in the Xue family today.

All these things are piling up in my heart, which really makes me feel depressed.

He simply strolled leisurely, avoiding the noisy people at the moment, and walked casually. Unconsciously, the voices of people around him became less and less. Xue Shuangtao was enjoying this kind of alone time. Suddenly, he heard laughter and paused for a moment.

When I looked up, I saw a big tree with a straight trunk and rustling leaves.

Some children were playing around the tree, and there was a naughty little girl who actually climbed up this tree, which was not really a small tree, and loudly showed off something to her playmates below.

The playmates below had expressions of either fear or admiration on their faces.

Let the kid down.

Xue Shuangtao stood not far away, watching this scene, and suddenly felt a little nostalgic.

When they were young, Li Guanyi ran away with her. Finally, she also wanted to do something that the eldest daughter of the Xue family could not and should not do in the past, and ran to climb a tree. However, because it rained lightly that day, she stepped on empty air. Although she landed on the ground, she still sprained her ankle.

In the end, he was carried back to Xue's house by that guy.

Xue Shuangtao still clearly remembers the expressions on his grandfather and brother's faces at that time. When he recalls it now, he can't help but smile.

"Ah, be careful!!."

Suddenly, a short shout was heard over there.

It was the little girl who had climbed up earlier who missed a step, causing panic among her friends below. The child's face turned pale and she fell down. When she had just climbed up, she relied on the courage of children and ignored everything else, but it was different when she climbed down.

Looking at the ground so high, my vision was shaking and I felt a sense of fear.

He stepped on empty air and his hands and feet became limp and he had no strength left.

Just fall down.

The playmates around him all subconsciously moved forward, but it was too late. Just when the child thought he was going to fall badly, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing towards him.

Then a gentle hand grabbed her.

The downward momentum was stopped at once.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a very beautiful older sister holding him up. She was like a bamboo leaf, falling gracefully from the air and landing steadily on the ground. The child hadn't reacted yet. Xue Shuangtao let go of her hand and asked with a smile, "Are you okay?"

The little girl came back to her senses and said, "No, it's okay!"

Then, with eyes shining brightly, he said:
"Big sister, are you an immortal?!"

Xue Shuangtao said, "It's just a little martial arts training. However, don't do such dangerous things in the future. I'm here today. If not, you would have been injured if you fell down so hard."

Her tone turned serious.

The little girl had an extremely embarrassed look on her face.

The rest of the playmates also admitted their mistakes. Xue Shuangtao's expression turned gentle and he said, "Okay, remember not to do such things next time. Go back. The adults at home must be worried."

"Yeah, thank you, big sister heroine!"

The children scattered in a hurry, except for the little girl who was the leader of the group. Although she had the courage and stubbornness to climb up, she was still a little weak in her hands and feet after the fright, and could not walk far.

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

A young man who looked about the same age as her scratched his head, looking a little tense. He then squatted down, let the little girl lie on his back, and then he mustered up his strength and stood up shakily.

The little girl asked suspiciously, "You won't be unable to carry it?"

The young man blushed and said, "What? What!!!"

"Don't mention carrying you!"

"I, I can even run!"

He used his pitiful little internal strength, gritted his teeth, and the young man's blushing face could prove everything. The little girl turned around and waved to the woman in green: "Let's go!"

The owner of Changfeng Tower was in a trance for a moment.

It seemed that he saw the young eldest daughter of the Xue family being carried by the young pharmacist and waving goodbye to him.

He subconsciously took half a step forward and then stopped.

He smiled slightly and raised his hand and shook it slightly.

"Don't do that next time."

………………

Xue Shuangtao watched the children walk away, then looked at the tree. His expression gradually calmed down, as if he had figured something out. He exhaled and said to himself, "The Emperor and the Empress..."

She turned around, walked away quickly and quietly.

In the Daqin Palace.

The so-called imperial palace actually has to be thanked to Jiang Yuan.

During those five years, Jiang Yuan built palaces on a large scale. Later, the Ying State was destroyed, but those palaces were still idle. According to the wishes of His Majesty the Qin Emperor, Master Pan Wanxiu of the Mohist School and other great men dismantled the palaces built by Jiang Yuan, transported them to the south of the Yangtze River with the help of the waterways built by Jiang Yuan, and then reassembled and rebuilt them.

The construction of the new palace was completed at a very low cost.

Some civil officials wrote to the emperor, expressing their opinion that this was too shabby. How could the new emperor just move the palace of a fallen king and use it directly when he ascended the throne and founded the new dynasty? Apart from other things, using the palace of a fallen king was not a good sign in itself.

May Your Majesty think twice!

His Majesty the Emperor Qin waved his pen and answered with only two words.

【save money】.

The civil official had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

Then, the Left Prime Minister, who is still in good spirits, will come in person to calculate the so-called cost issue with the civil servant.

The Qin Emperor's wedding was on a grand scale.

The Qin Emperor seemed to intend to let this matter also carry the responsibility of all officials in the world to report on their work, so all officials attached great importance to it. Even the governor Ashina who was on the grassland at the moment, Qibili who was guarding the Western Regions at the moment, and Duan Qingyu who was in the southwest were all planning to come.

We don't do anything wasteful, but there is an indescribable sense of grandeur in mobilizing so many people.

Even if it saves money.

This kind of [grand wedding] can even be said to be a political task in itself. Even the Yan Dai Qing Tian group collectively protested against any proposal of His Majesty to save money, saying that this matter cannot be neglected.

The day before the wedding.

The whole of Jiangnan was already extremely excited. Lord Zuo Xiang successfully used this incident to boost the economy and consumption of the entire Jiangnan again.

According to unofficial history, this event boosted diet and consumption so much that the left prime minister's mouth almost curled up to his ears, and he sighed and said that he really hoped that Your Majesty would get married once a year, which would greatly benefit the economy of the Qin Dynasty.

Your Majesty, it is really valuable!

There is also an unofficial history that one day the Left Prime Minister went out with his left foot first and was beaten up by a white-haired fisherman. His nose and face were swollen and it took three days to heal.

On this day, the entire Jiangnan region was brightly lit. There were veterans from the expedition to the Western Regions, captains who had returned to report on their duties, and people from nearby villages who had been given the opportunity to come...

There are also old comrades who went their separate ways after peace was restored in the world.

Now that we meet again, I am overjoyed.

Even General Fan Qing, who is usually serious, did not prohibit drinking this time.

So General Fan Qing was forced to drink by countless veteran soldiers, and he was already under the table before the emperor's wedding even started.

Yue Qianfeng just laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Brother Fan Qing, you can't do it! Come on, Ling Pingyang, come here!"

"Hold Fan Qing!"

So Ling Pingyang and Yue Qianfeng stood on the left and right, with Fan Qing in the middle, and went to drink with their comrades. Yue Qianfeng laughed loudly, and the sound was like the roar of an old dragon. This guy must have vomited blood countless times in the more than ten years on the battlefield.

But now he is as vigorous as a dragon and as strong as a tiger, and his drinking capacity and physique are the best among everyone.

Yue Pengwu's expression was solemn, but there was a hint of a smile on his face. At the open-air banquet outside the city, he raised his eyes slightly, passed through Changfeng, looked at the prosperous world in the city, and then drank with Xiao Wuliang beside him.

Xiao Wuliang said: "Your Majesty's wedding will be tomorrow."

"What about the rules? Have they been decided?"

Yue Pengwu said: "Mr. Nan Hanwen is in charge. Tomorrow, your majesty's aunt will go to welcome the lady in person. There will be a golden book, a jade book, many ritual vessels, and wine. We will offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple and report to the gods and the country. Only then will the ceremony be completed."

"However, since your majesty is the founding emperor, matters like etiquette do not need to be too complicated."

Xiao Wuliang nodded.

Yue Pengwu said: "Wen Mian still doesn't plan to get married?"

Xiao Wuliang just said: "With the young master's experience, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a woman to enter his heart."

He added: "Now that the world is peaceful, the young master plans to resign from his post and become a knight-errant, traveling around the world."

Yue Pengwu nodded. He and Xiao Wuliang raised their glasses and drank. The sound of the wine cups was crisp, as if old friends were present. The whole of Jiangnan was brightly lit. All the veterans, heroes, generals, and celebrities from the past ten years were there.

Everyone takes this opportunity to reminisce and chat, and on this day tell old friends about their current lives and tell them about the peaceful times.

The best way to pay tribute to the deceased is to live a better and harder life.

Replace fireworks with fine wine and replace long crying with singing.

People like you and me should be like this.

The world is bustling, and today is indeed the busiest day in the world in the past decade or so. However, Li Guanyi is still "captured" in the palace, dealing with files with civil officials, and finally solved a problem.

Yan Daiqing, Wen Qingyu and others retreated.

Li Guanyi sat alone on a chair with a file spread out on his knees. He read the text on it, which recorded how some remnants of the previous era were wiped out, most of whom were human traffickers, and some were similar to loan sharking.

And in this era, there are new unstable entities that intend to take advantage of loopholes and promote interests for themselves.

The Qin Emperor picked up his pen and began to write.

With his legendary martial arts realm, he could easily hear the hustle and bustle of the entire city, which was even more lively and lively than the Chinese New Year. However, before his wedding, he still had to take care of official business.

These things are more difficult to deal with than that old man Jiang Su!

What is this?

Emperor Qin sighed.

Suddenly, he heard a crisp sound.

Li Guanyi raised his head slightly and was stunned to see a golden bean slowly turning forward on the steps of the imperial palace in the night, reflecting a faint fluorescent light.

His Majesty the Qin Emperor stood up, walked over, raised his hand and picked up the golden bean.

Then as he walked out, he saw a woman in a green shirt and with her hair tied up with a wooden hairpin on one side of the door. She was smiling and was about to continue throwing golden beans.

Li Guanyi grabbed Xue Shuangtao's wrist and stuffed the woman's hand into his pocket without changing his expression: "If you want to throw golden beans, just throw them directly into your pocket."

Xue Shuangtao laughed out loud: "You are so lazy."

Li Guan smiled: "It's better to save some trouble."

"Miss, why are you here today? According to etiquette, you have to stay at the Xue family now."

Xue Shuangtao's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Waiting there is really boring."

Li Guanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"

Xue Shuangtao touched his eyes and smiled: "Is it so obvious?"

Li Guanyi: "How long do you think we have known each other?"

Xue Shuangtao chuckled and said, "That's right."

She leaned against the palace pavilion, her hand held by Emperor Qin, but she did not take it out. She just gently clenched it, looked up at the distant sky, and said, "It has been more than ten years. I am getting married tomorrow, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I just feel that my identity will change tomorrow..."

The previous feeling and the changes in the Xue family flashed through my mind.

Xue Shuangtao paused, and suddenly smiled slyly:
"So, my guest, are you willing to do something different with me?"

Li Guanyi was slightly startled: "What?"

Xue Shuangtao pulled Qin Huang and suddenly pulled him hard. Qin Huang did not resist, but just walked forward, watching the woman's hair rise and fall slightly, her almond-shaped eyes clear and bright.

Mr. Wen Qingyu was just looking for Li Guanyi, asking His Majesty the Emperor to continue the next small meeting with the civil officials, but he was slightly stunned when he saw the Lord of Changfeng Tower pulling the Emperor out.

Li Guanyi said: "Mr. Wen Qingyu."

The owner of Changfeng Tower exhaled, as if he had made up his mind, and said:

"Mr. Wen Qingyu."

"Your Majesty, please lend it to me for half a day."

Mr. Wen Qingyu thought for less than a third of a breath before he determined the situation and betrayed the Yan Daiqingtian Group without hesitation. He said confidently:

"Your Highness, please go."

"I will take care of the rest."

Li Guanyi was pulled forward and looked at Xue Shuangtao, wondering:
"Miss?"

The owner of Changfeng Tower turned his back to him and said, "When we get married tomorrow, we will be the emperor and empress, but today, it's just Xue Shuangtao and Li Guanyi, how about that?"

She looked back and saw that after experiencing the hardships of this turbulent time, the owner of Changfeng Tower, who was in charge of the world's intelligence files, lowered her eyes and head, with the gentleness and determination of a young girl again.

She pulled hard, then pulled Qin Huang forward. Although Qin Huang had great martial arts skills, he seemed unable to resist the woman's pull. It was just like the incident more than ten years ago when he pulled the eldest lady out of the literary gathering between the aristocratic families.

It was he who had pulled her away from the literary gathering of young ladies from aristocratic families.

This time, she was the one who pulled him out of the palace and out of his status as emperor.

Wen Qingyu watched the woman pulling Emperor Qin out of the palace.

It was a joyous occasion for the whole country. Heroes from all over the world gathered here again, just like when they conquered the world. Lights were lit all over the south of the Yangtze River. Retired soldiers held wine jars and sang "Pozhenqu", while the people talked and laughed enthusiastically.

The copper bells on the eaves jingled.

Wedding tomorrow.

His Majesty the Emperor Qin was dragged away from the palace by the owner of Changfeng Tower.

Leaving their status in the secular world and temporarily leaving the achievements that will be recorded in history, everyone is waiting for a grand ceremony. And in the interval of this grand ceremony in history, in a place unknown to the written words of the thousands of years of history, the little girl once pulled the little pharmacist.

On the last day, have a grand and romantic 'escape'.

Before becoming the emperor and empress of the world.

It should be the wedding of Xue Shuangtao and Li Guanyi.

Mr. Wen Qingyu touched his chin and smiled unconsciously:

"Elope? Another kind of elopement."

"It's really graceful."

Just at this moment, Qingzheng's voice came.

Yan Daiqing came over holding the file:

"Where is your majesty?"

Mr. Wen Qingyu's smile froze.

worse.
