Sheng Fu

Chapter 1306 And Calmly

The next day.

Early morning, Feilongtai.

The thin mist over the capital had not yet completely dissipated, and lights were flashing in the distance. The breakfast stalls along the street had already begun their daily hawking.

The Emperor brewed a pot of top-grade evergreen tea, and its aroma filled the entire Flying Dragon Terrace.

Yuwen Jun and the Queen of the Demon Realm arrived gracefully, and the tea drinkers arrived as promised.

Logically speaking, Zhong Yi should also be present in person, but upon further reflection, Yuwen Jun was the regent of the Ling Clan, and Yuwen Jun's presence was equivalent to the Ling Clan's supreme leader being present in person.

The Emperor poured tea for the two of them with slightly clumsy hands, and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Although I like to drink tea, I have rarely brewed tea myself since I was a child. Although I have a deep understanding of the tea ceremony, I find it difficult to practice. If there is anything you dislike, you can just say it. There is no need for you two to forgive me."

The Queen of the Demon Realm tapped the corner of the table, her expression calm and humble. She bowed her head slightly and said, "The words 'forgive and forgive' are too heavy. Besides, a half-baked tea ceremony shows more sincerity."

If they were to fight one-on-one, Guangli would be no match for the Human Emperor, but the difference between them would be minimal.

Guangli always respected His Majesty the Emperor.

Putting aside other things, the Human Emperor governed the human race's territory, and powerful figures like Empress Fuyao and Gu Yong emerged within its borders.

In terms of governance, Guangli knew that she was far inferior to the Emperor.

The Emperor chuckled and said, "There's no need for that. If it tastes good, it tastes good; if it doesn't, it doesn't. Sometimes you can't force yourself to accept something bad just because of face. The more you consider face, the more you'll suffer."

Upon hearing this, Guangli could only look to Yuwen Jun for help.

Women sometimes find it difficult to understand what men are thinking.

Men sometimes find it difficult to understand what women are thinking.

Even among politicians, there are differences in perspectives between men and women.

Yuwen Jun picked up the teacup, swirled it slightly, took a deep sniff, and then clicked his tongue and said, "To be honest, the tea is good, but the brewing technique is really too clumsy."

"His Majesty personally brewing the finest evergreen plants is a waste of their quality."

"But even the finest evergreen will not lose its elegance because of Your Majesty's clumsy technique."

Guangli raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what Yuwenjun was up to.

The Emperor laughed heartily, gave Guangli a knowing look, and said clearly, "From now on, you don't need to be cautious or modest in front of me. Yuwen Jun is your role model."

Guangli pursed her lips slightly, not understanding her meaning for a moment.

Yuwen Jun changed the subject, saying, "I have already sent Chu Yu to ride Yinglong to explore various parts of the world. Perhaps he will discover some extremely hidden secret realms. Of course, I don't think Chu Yu will be able to gain anything."

"The young man has already entered the ranks of the strongest. Riding a giant dragon to travel all over the world is a wonderful thing."

The Emperor smiled knowingly and said, "At this critical juncture, to still possess such refined character deserves reward, but unfortunately, I can no longer reward you with such virtues."

Yuwen Jun casually handed the teacup to Guangli beside him, stretched lazily with a look of enjoyment, and said, "Are all the arrangements in place?"

The Queen of the Demon Realm was the first to react, saying, "Everything in the Demon Realm is in order."

The Emperor looked up at the gloomy sky and said in a deep voice, "Everything is ready. We're just waiting for the war to begin."

In seven days, it will be the Spring Equinox.

For these seven days, his soldiers could do whatever they wanted, as long as they didn't break the law.

……

Inside the White Deer Academy manor. The manor still belongs to Pu Weiqing, and is also the former dean's manor.

The interior remained as simple as ever.

Although it was far less simple than the former residence of Lord Qiu Qing, it appeared too simple compared to the other high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.

But the house smelled delicious with the aroma of food.

Upon closer inspection, it was a feast of eight delicacies.

Furthermore, this feast of eight delicacies was prepared by the Imperial Kitchen and personally delivered by the Imperial Advisor Li Hongshan, so that Pu Weiqing and Jing Peiyao could enjoy a proper meal.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, Pu Weiqing laughed and said, "This is the first time I've ever had an eight-treasure feast so early in the morning."

This master and disciple pair are certainly living legends, but the fact that Li Hongshan personally delivered an eight-treasure feast to them early in the morning is even more so because Jing Peiyao is Yuwen Jun's wife.

Jing Peiyao served Pu Weiqing a bowl of soup, her face slightly gloomy as she said, "I fought against the Queen of the Demon Realm. I thought I could win easily, but I lost, and lost without any controversy."

A war between women is also a war.

Upon hearing this, Pu Weiqing showed no pity for the girl he had raised since childhood. Instead, he jokingly said, "Your journey has been far too smooth."

"The journey of the Demon Queen has been fraught with difficulties, which is a good thing for you."

"Remember, no matter how immoral what the Demon Queen did to Yuwen Jun was, Yuwen Jun also benefited from it and cultivated the Chaos Emperor Qi."

"If you really think about it, both of you owe them money."

Jing Peiyao's expression was subtle; she was no longer the little girl who was obsessed with right and wrong.

Adults have their own way of doing things, and politicians have their own way of doing things.

Jing Peiyao smiled with relief and said, "That's true, but I don't know how to make it up to her. I can't possibly take care of her during her postpartum period..."

Pu Weiqing nearly stumbled; if that had happened, the situation would have been far too chaotic.

Pu Weiqing pondered, "If we can win the Spring Equinox Battle, the years to come will be long. Even the Queen of the Demon Realm will need external support at some point. No matter who it is, there will be times when they need help."

Jing Peiyao thought about it and agreed.

Pu Weiqing changed the subject, asking, "Is Xiao Huangyue settled in?"

Jing Peiyao shook her head, slightly helpless, and said, "Our relationship has never been deep. She is neither an ungrateful person nor does she not understand kindness and gratitude. If I am in trouble, she will risk her life to save me, but our relationship is just not deep."

"Moreover, I don't know how to settle her. If I lose, she won't survive either. After thinking it over, I've given up on settling her. However, her current state of mind is quite suitable for studying and cultivating the Tao."

"Although young and immature, it has already experienced many hardships and misfortunes. Once the weathered grass is given a new environment, it will surely grow more vigorously."

I didn't go to my parents' place either, and even if I did, I wouldn't know what to say.

"So not caring about anything makes it more carefree and relaxed."

Jing Peiyao naturally wanted to see Xiao Huangyue and her parents, but she couldn't. If she went, even if she only told some white lies, it would be considered as giving her last words in advance.

She felt that this was a bit unlucky.

In contrast, she was raised and nurtured by Pu Weiqing, so in terms of feelings, she naturally had a deeper connection with Pu Weiqing.

Even compared to her parents, Jing Peiyao still felt that Pu Weiqing was her true second parent in a real sense...

She wouldn't show any vulnerability in front of her parents, nor in front of Yuwen Jun; only in front of Pu Weiqing could she feel at ease...
