Chapter 57: Ya is just a village girl!

Comparison of Northern Qi and Southern Qing?

This topic is a bit sensitive, not to weaken his country’s prestige, as an envoy, but also not to lose too much face of Northern Qi. But Fan Xian answered smoothly and freely, as if he had been thinking about this answer since his mother’s womb, and said it with a straight face, forceful and fast, making Miss Haitang’s anger distort that face that seemed to be forever serene, and making His Majesty the Emperor’s mouth open wide, revealing those extremely well-maintained white teeth.

Only to see Fan Xian, full of gentle smiles, clasp his fists and open his mouth to utter a few words:

“The foreign minister does not know.”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then began to laugh, this is a rogue response, but he is not good at how to punish him, after all, he is a so-called “foreign minister”, even if he knows how the country of Qing is, he doesn’t know how the country of Qi is, so how can he compare?

The emperor looked at Fan Xian and shook his head with a smile, “Today, I realized that the generation of poets that I’ve been thinking about is actually a skillful debater, no wonder the Emperor of Southern Qing sent you to be the ambassador.”

Fan Xian smiled and said, “The foreign minister has been an official for only a year, and His Majesty sent me here mainly because his heart adores the culture of the North, and I have a bit of a thin reputation in this area, so that’s why he sent me here to be more educated.”

The emperor smiled and said, “The name of the Poetry Immortal is here, so I will naturally let those students of the Imperial College come and listen to Minister Fan’s lectures.”

Fan Xian’s heart was bitter, thinking that he was a fake professor who didn’t have to attend classes at the Imperial College in Kyoto, Qing, so how come when he came to the north, he had to become a visiting professor.

“If I go south, how much chance of success does Minister Fan see?”

The young prince of heaven face serene, but since childhood in the deep palace to raise the sense of majesty suddenly forced face and come, this sensitive and arrogant question, today’s world, there are only two people can ask. But the question was asked by an envoy of an enemy country, the meaning of which was somewhat interesting, like a spring thunderbolt exploding –

Fan Xian’s face did not change, and he replied lightly, “There is not a single chance of success.”

“Why?” The Emperor by the bar looked at Fan Xian coldly.

“If the Qi do not think of war, they will be in danger.” Fan Xian smiled and said, “If the Qing people are more warlike, they will be in danger. It’s a good thing that the two Your Majesties, one of whom is vigorous and strong, and the other of whom is old enough to hold the country, have just the right balance between these two ends of the spectrum.”

The emperor suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “What kind of person is your Emperor of Qing? I have passed two private letters with him, but I have never been able to understand him.”

Fan Xian began to curse in his heart, thinking that he was after all a minister of the Qing State, what exactly do you mean by playing such a trick? So he kept his mouth shut. Beiqi Emperor saw his appearance, but laughed, said softly: “Your emperor will eventually old, I will eventually grow up. In the future, when I go south on horseback, I still hope that Minister Fan will be my wordsmith in the temple.”

Fan Xian raised an eyebrow and responded without being overbearing, “If Your Majesty goes south as a guest, the foreign minister will surely write a poem to congratulate you.”

It was the same as going south, but the meaning was at two ends. Emperor Qi’s meaning was naturally to lead his army southward and swallow Qing into his territory; Fan Xian’s meaning was that Emperor Qi would come southward as a guest, and naturally he would be a prisoner.

The words are not in agreement, Fan Xian face calm, the heart also does not speculate, just think in front of this young emperor, really is a person with a big heart. Just in front of his own face to say words, not inevitably also too much. I do not know because of youthfulness and speechlessness, or simply do not take himself as a foreign minister seriously, just want to borrow his own mouth, his will will be transmitted to the court in the south.

The emperor suddenly brow welled up with faint sorrow, don’t know what came to mind, gently waved his hand and said, “Shangjing has always been peaceful, but there have always been many misunderstandings between the two countries, I’m worried that there will be people who intend to be unfavorable to Fan Qing, although those people don’t dare to do anything to you, but provocations are only inevitable, Fan Qingjia, for the sake of me, take it more seriously.”

Fan Xian was shocked, not by the content of these words, but by the tone of the young emperor’s words, what is it to look at the face of the Son of Heaven and take more responsibility? Fan Xian paid himself how he was not qualified to let the king of a country so valued, moreover, he did not understand why this young emperor would be so generous to himself.

“I’m a bit tired, Fan Qing will return first.” The emperor gently tapped the railing and looked back at Haitang who had been silent all along, “Young Master Aunt, you send Lord Fan out of the palace so that he doesn’t get lost. During this period of time, if anyone is rude to the Southern Qing envoys, I’m still tired of Little Senior Aunt saying a few words.”

With a word from Beiqi Haitang, I believe that those fanatical patriots would be much more restrained.

Haitang gave a slight blessing and said, “Honor Your Majesty’s order.”

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself, “Wouldn’t that mean that he would have to meet with this woman on the ninth rank often? This was not really sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

The emperor suddenly smiled and said, “Hearing that Mr. Fan is no longer composing poems nowadays, my heart is really a bit disappointed.”

Fan Xian responded with a bitter smile, “I beg Your Majesty’s pardon, poetry is the language of the heart, and recently, foreign ministers have been unsettled, so it’s really not possible, it’s not possible.”

The emperor raised an eyebrow, looked at him with a smile, and said, “I’m afraid it’s only poetry due to feelings, Fan Xian, you’re looking at this turbid thing of mine, so naturally, you can’t rise to any poetic excitement.”

Fan Xian was sweating profusely.

The emperor suddenly laughed: “Yesterday, the empress dowager showed me a small order …… to know whether to know, should be green, fat and thin, Fan Xian really good talent.”

Fan Xian was greatly embarrassed, and Haitang was even more embarrassed.

Fan Xian, led by Haitang, went out of the mountain pavilion, along that quiet path, traveling towards the palace ebony complex in front of the mountain. In the mountain pavilion, that young ruler of Northern Qi stood in silence, his face had faded from the excited look he had earlier during the conversation, and his lips were tinged with a faint smile. The Son of Heaven suddenly closed his eyes and took two deep sniffs, realizing that he seemed to have really recovered a trace of the feeling of that night when he was alone and looking at the moon.

Behind the sound of footsteps ringing, the emperor knows is the eunuchs rushed over to serve themselves, slightly bored waved his hand, preventing the crowd into the pavilion, still a little lonely standing on the banks of the mountain pavilion, I do not know what to think.

After a long time, he suddenly sighed and said softly to himself, “So this is what Fan Xian looks like, and Li Li should be here, right?”

On the other hand, Fan Xian was silent and tense, following behind Haitang and walking towards the outside of the palace, all the way to the mountain scenery without any intention to see, the breeze without any intention to beckon, just piling up a face full of hypocritical smiles, haughtily keeping his distance from this strange woman.

The eyes can see the posture of the Haitang girl walking very clearly.

Miss Haitang took three shakes in one step, but it was not the kind of shaking method of a woman who seduced people with her smoky eyes and charming behavior, but a kind of shaking method with an extremely rustic flavor. Her hands were inserted in the pockets of the big coarse cloth clothes outside her body, and her whole upper body did not shake much, but her feet were dragging her legs underneath, dragging forward on the stone road, looking extremely lazy, but not the kind of sexy lethargy that a beauty out of the bath has.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes for half a day, but never understood what kind of walking method this was, could it be that the other party was constantly practicing some kind of natural gong method through walking? Fan Xian was greatly impressed, he had always thought that he was the most diligent type of person in the world in practicing martial arts, practicing at the morning and evening hours of the day, and had never stopped since the beginning of Tanyu, but he had never thought that one could even practice gong when walking!

No wonder the other little girl is on the ninth grade at such a young age, she herself has only just stepped into the threshold of the ninth grade after fighting to the death! No wonder the other young lady was arched by the people of Northern Qi as the Heavenly Pulse, while he could only shamelessly rely on some verses to win the “status of the jianghu”! No wonder the other little girl gently waved her hand, they have to crawl on the ground! No wonder his own hidden crossbow flying needles and aphrodisiacs, other people also but bubble lake, and finally very elegantly waved his sleeve and left, simply do not put himself in the eyes – due to disdain, so do not hate also.

Fan Xian heart a gloomy, thought this kind of genius character, and so diligent, probably only five bamboo uncle this kind of genius in the genius can be compared, he may be out of luck.

After looking for a long, long time again, Haitang also seemed to feel the two hot gazes behind her, always staring at her hips and waist, and finally couldn’t take it anymore, and quietly turned back her head, quietly staring into Fan Xian’s eyes, seemingly wanting to peel off Fan Xian’s clear and beautiful skin, revealing the lewd true body inside.

Fan Xian’s eyes were clear, there was not a trace of mixed feelings at all, looking at the other party turned around slightly stunned, knowing that the other party thought of something wrong, said with a bitter smile, “I just see that the girl walks in a strange posture, I think that she is practicing kung fu, so I am very impressed.”

He was stunned, Haitang was even more stunned, slightly open-mouthed, looking at this young man from Qing, her heart was in turmoil. She had stayed in the mountains and the palace for most of her life, and had always been as stable as a rock in her heart, but for some reason, seeing this abominably beautiful face of Fan Xian, and listening to Fan Xian’s unorthodox speech, she was just on fire for no reason, and at this moment, listening to what Fan Xian said, she was even more baffled, and only after a long time did she stifle her words, “It’s not practicing kung fu.”

Only after saying this did Miss Haitang feel somewhat marvelous, why did she have to explain this to him?

So she said in a slightly rattled voice, “I’ve been walking like this since I was a child, the Empress Dowager has been talking about me for many years, and I can’t even change it, if Lord Fan thinks it’s obtrusive to look at, he might as well walk in front of him.”

Fan Xian froze, thinking what’s going on here? He could only follow behind Haitang, who had turned around and continued to walk forward.

But Haitang was still walking forward lazily with her paws dragging and her hands tucked in like that.

Fan Xian slightly inclined his head, frowned for a long time, and suddenly figured out this matter–where is this any kind of gong method? This wasn’t just the most common walking stance of those lazy bitches in the countryside!

When he thought that a ninth grade master, a fairy-like Haitang in the eyes of the world, was really a village girl at heart, walking in the palace as if she were walking on top of a field, Fan Xian finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
