Book with Emperor

Chapter 158 The So-Called Infatuation

The man on the roof was dressed in white, with white silk covering his eyes, holding a famous sword in his hand and pillowing the frosty cold, with the posture of a peerless master, as cold as he wanted.

It was his idol, the sword god Shuang Hanzhou.

"Sword God Hero... I'm Han Zhengwei, Qin Guanyue's friend. She's gone out, don't worry, let me come and see you... Well, we actually met each other in Qin Tianjian last year. I'm next to Yuewentian."

After Han Zhengwei finished speaking, he looked up at the people on the roof expectantly, "Do you still remember me?"

The white-clothed Sword God acted like he didn't hear him, sitting motionless on the roof. If it wasn't for the wind blowing his long hair and hem of his clothes, he would really be like a statue.

Han Zhengwei scratched his head, probably because he was too far away to hear clearly, so he simply moved a ladder and climbed up to the roof.

"This roof is so cool..."

Han Zhengwei leaned over while looking for something to say, but the other party didn't respond at all, until he boldly sat next to the other party, and suddenly heard the other party speak.

"—Do you know what the most beautiful sound in the world is?"

Han Zhengwei's scalp tightened, and his muscles all tensed up, thinking, is this the test from a peerless master mentioned in the scriptures?Can he become his disciple if he answers correctly?

He licked his lips and replied cautiously, "...what do you think?"

Shuanghanzhou tilted his head and "looked" at him, but didn't speak again.

Han Zhengwei: "..."

In front of the Duke's Mansion.

Miaomiao helped Qin Guanyue get off the carriage, and He Lin's personal maid greeted her, as if she had already been waiting in front of the door.

"My lord, Miss ordered me to wait here."

Qin Guanyue nodded, before saying anything, the servant girl turned around and told the porter, "Hurry up and report to the master, the emperor is here!"

The concierge was taken aback, first glanced at Qin Guanyue, then his expression changed, and he hurried to report.

Not long after, He Mian came out to greet her, seeing that it was Qin Guanyue who was a little worried, "The emperor and master are here, and the plants are shining, I don't know...what's the matter?"

Qin Guanyue knew in her heart that she almost abolished the three-generation single male, and the other party's attitude would not be much better, so in order to show goodwill, she immediately expressed her intention to come.

"Nothing important, I'm bored, so I came to play with He Lin, I wonder if the Duke would agree?"

He Mian was a little flattered, and hurriedly said, "Where is the emperor's teacher, it is Lin'er's blessing to be appreciated by the emperor's teacher. Zhen'er, call the lady out."

Jane turned around immediately.

Qin Guanyue followed He Mian all the way to the front hall, chatting while drinking tea.

"Lin'er is stubborn, if you offend the emperor, please be lenient."

"The rumors outside are not bad. The Duke really raised the He Lin brothers and sisters as his own children."

Qin Guanyue said politely, and then asked along the line, "It's just that Guanyue is a little curious, why didn't the Duke marry a wife and have children?"

He Mian choked, he had been single for many years, and was often asked this question, but it was the first time he was asked this question by a 16-year-old girl, and he couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing this, Qin Guanyue didn't feel impolite, and continued to ask, "Is it because the father-in-law doesn't love women but men?"

He Mian's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears, "How...how is it possible! There is absolutely no such thing!"

"That is……"

Qin Guanyue shifted her gaze to his abdomen in obscurity, and then said slowly amidst the increasingly ugly face of the other party, "I have a heart to belong to, but I can't love it?"

He Mian's face froze slightly, but he quickly recovered, "Why is the emperor suddenly interested in the old man's private affairs?"

"Grandpa is only in his forties, and he is not worthy of the title of old man."

Qin Guanyue smiled and said, "I'm not suddenly interested, but before I came to Beijing, I heard that the father-in-law is an infatuated person, and he will never marry a woman for life. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the rumor, so Guanyue simply asked the truth , and please don’t take offense, my lord.”

He Mian felt relieved, and then said, "Everyone says what they say, and the rumors are mostly false, so the emperor doesn't have to take it seriously."

Qin Guanyue sighed pretending to be disappointed when she heard the words, "Sure enough, I said that there are no infatuated men in the world, and the true love is only for a while."

Seeing that her expression was different, He Mian couldn't help but retort, "No, there are true feelings in the world. Although things change with the situation, they can go through fire and water."

"Will you go through fire and water..." she murmured, then raised her head and asked with a smile, "Would your father-in-law go through fire and water for the one you love?"

He Mian opened his mouth and was about to answer, but suddenly his expression changed slightly, he coughed lightly, and lowered his eyes and said, "What trouble did the emperor encounter? The old man is dozens of years old, and he may be able to solve your doubts."

Qin Guanyue didn't care that he changed the subject, looked at him sincerely and said, "Actually, I came to talk to He Lin about this matter today, but I think my father-in-law might be able to clear up my doubts."

"Emperor, please speak frankly."

"It's good for the father-in-law to call me by my name."

Qin Guanyue showed a bit of shyness, "My lord, you should know that Guanyue was taught by Qin Tianjian and came to assist the government. However, as a woman, her Majesty has many scruples, so Guanyue simply made a vow not to marry for life. I swear, but now..."

"How is it now?"

"Now someone has expressed his heart to me, and I refused because of my country's merits, but he said that he would wait until the moment I retire after I have completed my career, so I..."

"Adult shaken?"

When He Mian saw that she didn't speak, he knew that he had guessed right. He looked at the girl in front of him with spring thoughts and felt a little bit embarrassed, but he said, "Your Excellency is born smart, and now he will be confused by this matter. I think the other party has something to make people laugh." Appreciation."

"That's natural, he became famous when he was young, he once lived and died with me, and he also once-"

"and many more."

The more He Mian listened, the more frightened he became. He had heard a lot about this young imperial master before he entered Beijing, and among them, the only one who lived and died with her was——

"Who are you talking about?"

"The third son of the late King Qing Yue Wentian."

"when!"

He Mian's hand trembled, and he knocked off the lid of the teacup. He lowered his head to pick it up, and looked up again with a calm expression, "Does your lord know that he is still on the arrest warrant after treason?"

"know."

"Aren't you afraid that this matter will spread?"

Qin Guanyue smiled, "I only told this matter in the Duke's mansion, if it spreads, it will only be done by people in this mansion, and I don't need to look elsewhere."

She said it lightly, but He Mian felt a chill in her heart, and quickly said, "Don't worry, the emperor, this matter will never be spread."

"I trust my father-in-law."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qin Guanyue suddenly asked again, "If you are a father-in-law, what would you choose between glory and wealth and the one you love?"

He Mian pondered for a long time, then murmured, "The glory and wealth are nothing but clouds, but the glory and wealth can't be easily given up..."

Qin Guanyue's heart moved slightly, she didn't say anything else, she just sipped her tea until He Lin arrived.

Seeing his niece's happy look, He Mian thought of something, but he didn't stop her. He just said to Qin Guanyue, "Lin'er is still young and straightforward, I'm afraid she won't be able to relieve the emperor's teacher's worries."

He Lin mentioned it in her heart, and was about to speak, but Qin Guanyue said with a smile, "My father-in-law has already solved my doubts for me, so I won't embarrass He Lin anymore."

He Mian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She dragged Qin Guanyue all the way back to her boudoir, and said, "Guanyue, you must help me!"
