Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

Li Chengyuan was dressed in a gorgeous dragon robe, with a serious expression, and bowed to Zhan Doudou.

The other envoys from the Kingdom of Qing followed Li Chengyuan and saluted.

The young eunuch immediately stepped forward and took the letter from the official of the Ministry of Rites of Qing State.

Then he turned around and presented it to Zhan Doudou.

Zhan Doudou took the letter with a serious expression and unfolded it to read.

Not knowing what Emperor Qing wrote, Zhan Doudou frowned and felt relieved at times as he read it.

After reading the last part, Zhan Doudou suddenly looked up at Li Chengyuan, smiled faintly, and asked, "I heard that Li Shixian recently wrote a new book. I wonder if he brought it with him?"

"Ok?"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Li Chengyuan was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, a light cough was heard behind Zhan Doudou.

Zhan Doudou's expression changed slightly in an instant, and his smile faded.

Li Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If I'm not mistaken, the person hiding behind the curtain behind Zhan Doudou should be the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, right?

This is truly a real-life version of behind-the-scenes rule!

Although Zhan Doudou has been in power for two years, the government still needs to work with the Queen Mother to maintain its stability.

Such a big country, with internal and external troubles, is really a difficult situation for the mother and daughter.

So they need someone to share the burden.

.

Zhan Doudou glanced behind him obscurely, then coughed lightly and said, "The delegation has come a long way and is exhausted from the journey. Let's stop here for today! Everyone, please leave!"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Zhan Doudou would do something rude.

After all, this is an exchange between the two countries, especially since the visitor is Li Chengyuan, the officials of Qi State still attach great importance to this matter.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

The ministers saluted and then slowly left.

At this moment, Zhan Doudou spoke again: "Li Shixian, please stay and chat with me!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers did not dare to say anything and all left quietly.

Shen Zhong did look at Li Chengyuan a little longer, but didn't dare to say anything.

After everyone left, Zhan Doudou smiled again and said to Li Chengyuan, "You're welcome, just come up!"

Li Chengyuan said nothing and stepped forward.

Zhan Doudou looked at Li Chengyuan, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Mother, I was so happy to see the Immortal Poet that I was disrespectful. Please forgive me, Mother!"

As soon as Zhan Doudou finished speaking, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi walked out, followed by Haitang Duoduo.

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi came before Li Chengyuan, looked him over, and said calmly, "Are you the Immortal Poet of Southern Qing?"

Li Chengyuan remained calm, bowed and said, "My young prince pays his respects to the Queen Mother!"

"No need to be so polite!" The Queen Mother smiled faintly and said, "The Emperor loves your poems very much, but..."

As the Queen Mother was speaking, she suddenly turned around and asked Zhan Doudou, "Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to him about?"

Zhan Doudou walked down and said seriously, "I would like to ask for your permission to chat about poetry and prose, mother!"

Li Chengyuan remained silent and watched the mother and daughter act.

The Queen Mother replied, "You are the Emperor, and you can make your own decision. If you want to discuss poetry, then go ahead."

Zhan Doudou said, "The palace is so majestic that it's not convenient to be intimate. I really want the poet to walk around with me! Queen Mother, you've been working hard on government affairs, so you should return to the palace and rest!"

The Queen Mother asked solemnly, "Is it this palace that is majestic, or am I too majestic?"

"The Queen Mother is graceful and elegant, known to the world!"

"Well, I'll walk with you guys!"

"My Queen Mother has worked so hard, how dare I trouble her?"

"Since Your Majesty says so, I will return to the palace!" As he spoke, he turned to look at Haitang Duoduo and said, "Your little sister-in-law is here. Since we want to chat, let her accompany us!"

Zhan Doudou hurriedly said, "Farewell, Queen Mother!"

The Queen Mother turned and left.

After the Queen Mother left, Zhan Doudou pretended to ask Haitang Duoduo, "When will Little Sister-in-law return to the capital?"

Haitang Duoduo said, "I returned to the capital this morning. My master was worried that there were too many evil people in the palace, so he sent me back!"

"Bad guy?" Zhan Doudou pretended to be surprised.

Haitang Duoduo glanced at Li Chengyuan and said seriously, "Yes, there are many evil people in this world. Some are greedy and lustful, some are cunning and sinister, and some are full of conspiracies and tricks! It's hard to guard against them!"

Li Chengyuan: “…”

Zhan Doudou couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.

After a light cough, Zhan Doudou said, "Let's go, let's go out and talk!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

Li Chengyuan and Haitang Duoduo followed closely behind.

Along the way, Li Chengyuan didn't say a word, but his eyes were fixed on Haitang Duoduo, which made Haitang Duoduo feel extremely guilty and her face became redder and redder.

.....

Soon, everyone arrived at a pavilion in the imperial garden.

The eunuchs and palace maids lit the palace lanterns and then served tea and snacks.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan came to Haitang Duoduo and kicked her lightly.

Haitang Duoduo was stunned and turned around in confusion, then saw Li Chengyuan winking at her.

However, Haitang Duoduo couldn't understand it at all and had a face full of questions.

Li Chengyuan was speechless and simply retreated without saying anything.

Haitang Duoduo: "..."

But this scene was seen by Zhan Doudou.

But Zhan Doudou said nothing.

Soon, the palace maids filled the table with fruits and snacks and then left.

Only Zhan Doudou, Li Chengyuan and Haitang Duoduo were left on the pavilion.

"Let's rest here!" Zhan Doudou turned his back to the two of them, looked into the distance, and began to recite: "Knock on the railing, the forest flowers blow in the cold mountain wind, the loud song startled the floating clouds away..."

Zhan Doudou read a few sentences, but found that there was no response.

I couldn't help but look back out of curiosity, and then I saw Li Chengyuan and Haitang Duoduo winking at each other.

Haitang Duoduo was asking Li Chengyuan what he meant just now.

Li Chengyuan responded with his eyes, but Haitang Duoduo still didn't understand.

The two of them just used their eyes to express their own thoughts, and neither of them understood what the other meant.

Zhan Doudou was so angry that he laughed and said:

“When I read poems in the past, no one dared not to compliment me. Even if it was just a perfunctory response, they would still give me a few words of praise.

You are definitely the first to dare to ignore me like this!"

Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but glare at Li Chengyuan and snorted, "It's all your fault!"

Li Chengyuan said innocently: "You are stupid and can't understand my expression, and you blame me?"

Zhan Doudou: “…”

Being ignored again, Zhan Doudou shook his head speechlessly, then went to sit at the table.

"Okay, you guys take a seat too!"

Li Chengyuan was not polite and took off his shoes and sat down opposite Zhan Doudou.

Haitang Duoduo also took off her shoes and sat between the two of them.

After the two sat down, Zhan Doudou asked:

"Can I ask what you were doing just now?"

Haitang Duoduo replied, "Your Majesty, this is not my fault. Just now, when the palace maids were serving snacks, he kept winking at me. I didn't understand, so I kept asking him what he meant!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Doudou looked at Li Chengyuan curiously and asked, "Oh? But is there anything in this palace snack that the Immortal Poet doesn't like?"

"Your Majesty, just call me Chengyuan!" Li Chengyuan said casually, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. It's not that I don't like the food in your palace. It's just that I brought a lot of gifts this time, including food and drinks. I want Your Majesty to taste them all, so I wanted Duoduo to help me ask the palace maids to remove all these."

"I see!" Zhan Doudou suddenly became interested and shouted, "Someone come!"

Soon a palace maid came.

Zhan Doudou ordered that everything on the table be removed, leaving nothing behind.

After a while, the maid cleared the table.

Zhan Doudou ordered everyone to retreat and no one was allowed to linger nearby.

Only after the Imperial Garden was completely quiet did Zhan Doudou ask Li Chengyuan, "Chengyuan, you said you brought a gift. Where is it?"

Haitang Duoduo also looked at Li Chengyuan curiously.

Li Chengyuan directly took out the small jade mirror, and then took things out of it in front of the two women.

This scene made the two women dumbfounded.
