Li Fengniang stood behind the rockery not far away, watching Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo wandering around in Yujin Garden, and finally returned to the flowerbed where the flowers were fragrant and birds were singing when they just met.

Under his feet was a lawn like a green carpet, and a beautiful Taihu stone lay across the lawn. Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo and sat down on the stone at his own instructions, while he sat casually on the grass.

"Your mother...has only taught you to become the prince? Have you ignored the others?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.

Visiting the garden together made the two less unfamiliar with each other, and the atmosphere between them became more harmonious and lively.

Zhao Kuo no longer had a vigilance like when he first met, and his face would sometimes show admiration for Ye Qing, especially when Ye Qing talked about the reason why he, the Privy Council Privy Council, was not in the court, but was fighting in the north, Zhao Kuo's admiration and yearning for him were even more prosperous, his eyes were filled with excitement and novelty, listening to Ye Qing telling about the beautiful mountains and rivers in the north, etc.

"The other free gentlemen taught me that my mother only occasionally took the school exam." Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing who was sitting on the grass casually and replied with a smile: "My mother hopes that I can become the crown prince of my Song Dynasty and inherit the throne of my father in the future."

"Do you want to be an emperor?" Ye Qing supported the grass with both hands, and the sunshine shone down from his head. The warm feeling made people enjoy the peace of nature.

Zhao Kuo looked at Ye Qing and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pursed his lips with some hesitation, and then smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't know. But since my mother wants to, I will do what I want."

"It's difficult to become a good emperor, especially at this time. My Song Dynasty is still in a corner. Many jackals, tigers and leopards in the north are eyeing the wealthy tigers of my Song Dynasty. Once you become an emperor, if you are not careful... you will become difficult as an emperor." Ye Qing also looked a little melancholy.

"I know that my Song Dynasty suffered a lot of losses in front of the unreasonable Jin, Xia, and Liao soldiers, but... can't you defend the northern part of my Song Dynasty now?" Zhao Kuo asked with blinking his eyes.

At this moment, in his heart, he obviously did not have a clear understanding of the intrigues in the court and the struggles between his ministers.

Although he knew all the ups and downs of the Song Dynasty since its founding, these were just mechanical indoctrination by the gentlemen around him. Obviously, with his teenage mind and understanding, he still cannot fully understand the true meaning.

Ye Qing stared at the handsome little face and pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "If you one day in the future, you will become the emperor of my Song Dynasty, and other ministers report to you, Ye Qing, who colluded with Jin, Xia, and Liao people in the north, and if you were not guarding the border for my Song Dynasty, what would you do?"

"No, I believe you." Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, his eyes appearing quite firm and serious.

"As an emperor, you must have ideals and ambitions, and you cannot be an emperor just because you want to be an emperor... So if the British Duke still trusts Ye Qing, you might as well start from now on, ask yourself what you want to do if you become an emperor, whether you become an emperor for your mother, or for the royal family, the country, the people, or... to work hard to restore the magnificent atmosphere of the Song Dynasty in the prosperous Tang Dynasty." Ye Qing looked at Zhao Kuo, who nodded as he spoke, and said lightly.

"Just as you said just now? You should hang your head and browse the barbarians on the street to show that they have thousands of miles. Those who are wise invading the powerful Han will be punished even if they are far away! This is to intimidate the Jin, Xia and others who oppressed the wolf, tiger and leopards of our Song Dynasty?" Zhao Kuo's little hand began, and he asked in a tangled way, holding his wrinkled sleeves that had been twisted out.

"This is not what I said. It was written by Chen Tang, a famous Han general, when he submitted a memorial to Emperor Yuan of Han, and it was only said after he defeated the Huns. So... he also told us with practical actions that before we achieve our goal, we can temporarily hide our ideals in our hearts and wait for the day of realization to come, and then say it out. This will be better, so as not to be slapped in the face at the time of time." Ye Qing said at the end, and laughed unconsciously.

"Stop being slapped in the face?" Zhao Kuo asked with some difficulty understanding.

"Just avoid letting yourself go and embarrassing yourself." Ye Qing said lightly.

Perhaps others did not have a deep feeling about this sentence, but along the way, he knew that even now, there were still people laughing and saring about his ideals and goals.

Even Zhao Kuo's mother, Li Fengniang, is still now, and she cannot fully believe that the reason why she would rather give up the court than go to the north was to be able to maintain the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and to preserve the true orthodox Chinese.

No matter Li Fengniang or Shi Miyuan, even Han Tuozhou and other court officials from the army, no one believed that he, a powerful minister who was about to become a hero in the north, would have such noble and selfless sentiment.

In their opinion, their every move is full of conspiracy and intrigue, all for power and ambition.

When Li Fengniang appeared, Ye Qing naturally gave enough face to the current queen in front of Zhao Kuo.

The queen Li Fengniang, who was dressed in red palace clothes, looked out of place with the atmosphere of a concubine who had just died of illness in the palace. Funing Palace was immersed in endless grief, but she was in a festive look in the palace.

Zhao Kuo was taken down by Zhu Yeer and other eunuchs and palace maids. Before leaving, Zhao Kuo still couldn't help but salute like Ye Qing, and then left slowly.

Li Fengniang has been scrutinizing Ye Qing and Zhao Kuo's faces. The gray hair on her temples made Ye Qing look more vicissitudes of life. But even so, her eyes still felt frightened when she was wandering around two people, one big and one small, and she secretly made up her mind that she would never let them meet again after today.

"It is not impossible to teach him to become the crown prince since childhood and become the crown prince who inherits the throne of the emperor, but the queen should not forget to teach him that as the crown prince, the responsibilities and ambitions of the crown prince are. It is not difficult for the British Duke to become the crown prince, but it is rare... What kind of emperor do you want him to become? Do you also want to..." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang in a festive dress and said calmly.

"You don't have to worry about the royal family." Li Fengniang coldly interrupted Ye Qing's preaching, and then smiled charmingly at Ye Qing and said, "Do you know why I dress like this today? But compared to your curiosity, I'm even more curious about how you convinced the Supreme Emperor."

Ye Qing frowned and looked at Li Fengniang who was in a good mood, and asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"

"Today, Gushan has an order to enthrone the British Duke Zhao Kuo as King Jia, which means that King Jia is only one step away from the crown prince." Li Fengniang said happily with a smile.

Ye Qing finally understood why Li Fengniang was wearing a festive red palace outfit today. After looking at Li Fengniang up and down, he said, "I will try my best to do what I promised you, but... I don't want King Jia's eyes to be limited to the court and the throne. His eyes and mind should be broader. He should look at the whole world, including the Jin, Xia, Tatars, Liao and other territories, rather than the corner where my Song Dynasty is now."

Li Fengniang, who was in a happy and excited mood, didn't know if she regarded Ye Qing's words as a warning. In short, she had no reaction to Ye Qing's teachings on her King of Jia, Zhao Kuo, and was still immersed in her joy.

"In addition to Gushan's order to promote Zhao Kuo, the royal family has already proposed to urge Gushan to establish Zhao Kuo as the crown prince. This...is probably nothing to do with you, right?" Li Fengniang asked proudly.

"It's just Zhao Shicheng, the prince of Xin'an." Ye Qing said calmly, then walked out of the grass and began to walk out along the quiet path.

Li Fengniang didn't care about Ye Qing's disrespect for her. After all, the slander in front of her had too many disrespect for her. Since we met him back then, until now, when has this man who turned his back to him really respected her queen?

"And I also know that Zhao Shicheng has brought a list of several daughters of ministers to the royal family." Ye Qing stopped, turned around and looked at Li Fengniang who had stopped with her. Looking at the puzzled expression, he continued: "This is enough to show that there are already people who are interested in starting to put their ideas on King Jia and have begun to make a long-term plan."

"Are you talking about Zhao Shicheng? It is his deed that Gushan advises Gushan to make King Jia the crown prince and find the concubine for King Jia? He... what is his intention? Do he want to be the second Zhao Ruyu?" Li Fengniang asked in an instant cold layer of coldness on her originally proud face.

"No, it's Shi Miyuan." Ye Qing sighed. Li Fengniang never respectfully called Zhao Sheng the Supreme Emperor from beginning to end, and always replaced him with Gushan.

Looking at the blue sky, he thought for a while and said, "Shi Miyuan is unfathomable in dealing with people and things, and his scheming is extremely deep and elusive. What I worry about is that the reason why he started to make arrangements is that he discovered something, so that it is so?"

"What do you mean?" Li Fengniang's eyes also became cold and asked.

"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked back, and then said: "For Shi Miyuan, as long as it is beneficial to him, no matter what method it is, he can use it for himself. The Maritime Bureau established a chamber of commerce in Fujian to follow the example of Yangzhou, and now he is focusing on the future princess of King Jia..."

"You mean...you and me?" Li Fengniang said in her heart.

"Anyway, remember, don't underestimate Shi Miyuan, be careful." Ye Qing sighed again: "Even if he has not seen any clues yet, it is hard to guarantee that he will not use this method and eventually find your weakness."

"Kill him!" Li Fengniang bit her silver teeth and said murderously.

Ye Qing frowned, glanced at Li Fengniang, who was about to kill someone, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Even if Shi Miyuan is killed, it will be useless. If Shi Miyuan dies, do you think it will be peaceful? In the end, Li Miyuan, Wang Miyuan and other court officials will appear in the court. Once things are on the verge of being exposed, it will not be possible to kill people by silence them. Besides, how can Shi Miyuan be so easy to kill? Over the years, he has been able to wander in the court, which is not as simple as we think."

Li Fengniang's eyes gradually became as cold as before, and slowly moved closer to Ye Qing two steps, and the faint fragrance on her body penetrated into Ye Qing's nose from time to time.

Then, with a playful smile, he looked at Ye Qing and said, "Ye Qing, did you notice this, or was it an excuse you deliberately found to get rid of me? Let me tell you Ye Qing! You can never get rid of me in this life! It was agreed! Even if you went to the north, my Li Fengniang just had a call, no matter how many mountains and rivers or the oceans were everywhere, you would come back to me immediately! You are my Li Fengniang, and no one could take it away!"

"Put your unreasonable speculations." Ye Qing looked at Li Fengniang's eyes that wanted to bite her, reached out to touch Li Fengniang's cheek, and said with a smile: "Since I entered your boudoir, I have been destined to be entangled with you for the rest of my life. Life is so wonderful, no one could have predicted that the entanglement and pulling of the two people for the rest of their lives were all caused by the inadvertent first encounter."

Li Fengniang twisted her face that was touched by Ye Qing, then opened her red lips slightly, gently put Ye Qing's thumb in her mouth, and her teeth bit Ye Qing's fingers lightly, and said vaguely: "What should I do? Should I just sit and wait for death?"

"It's better to be cautious these days. In the next few days, Shi Miyuan won't have much thought on this matter. As for the future, after I go to the north, it will be even more difficult for him to find out." Ye Qing wanted to pull out the thumb that was held in his mouth by Li Fengniang, but as soon as he moved, he was gently pulled by Li Fengniang's teeth.

"Why? Are you so afraid of being bitten by me?" Li Fengniang finally let go, and then said disdainfully: "Even if I, Li Fengniang, is it not just biting your fingers, but I will directly make you the Ye family's death better?"

"I want me to enter the palace so much?" Ye Qing looked at his saliva-filled thumb, then simply pulled Li Fengniang's sleeve and wiped it.

Li Fengniang didn't refute, nor did she care about Zhu Yeer's gaze not far away, and said calmly: "Since Shi Miyuan is so cunning and insidious, can you feel at ease leaving Lin'an like this?"

"The palace is now the only one who respects you? What else do you want?" Ye Qing asked with a frown.

"Imperial City Department!" Li Fengniang said these three words firmly, and then said: "As you said, I have to be careful that Shi Miyuan broke my Li Fengniang's plan."

Looking at Ye Qing who was hesitant, Li Fengniang smiled and slowly moved forward, saying, "I remember when Emperor Gaozong handed over the Imperial City Department to you, he once said to you: The soldiers who investigated the matter were spread all over the capital. If you were a little hunger, you would arrest and punish them, and you would be deeply instructed. Is it right?"

"You are not Shi Miyuan's opponent, and you can't beat him. Before I leave and go to the north, I will give you a satisfactory explanation. As for the Imperial City Department, you have been offended by you, but you will...." Ye Qing sighed.

"You..." Li Fengniang turned around and pointed at Ye Qing with some angrily, and then put her hand down angrily. She knew that the Zuo brothers had indeed offended the Imperial City Secretary because they betrayed Ye Qing and said: "This is the Imperial City Secretary of the Song Dynasty, not your Ye Qing's Imperial City Secretary!"

Ye Qing looked at Zhu Yeer not far away and thought for a while, "I can let Zhu Yeer walk to Wuyi Lane every now and then. If there is anything, they will tell Zhu Yeer. As for the Zuo brothers, there is no need to appear in front of the Imperial City Division again, so as not to backfire."

"Ye Qing..." Li Fengniang gritted her teeth. She was a queen who was in power in the world and could not easily regain one from a slander. She was a knife that originally belonged to the royal family.

"This is for your own good, and even more so that you can become the future empress dowager safely." Ye Qing said coldly, and then Li Fengniang, who was opposite, instantly disappeared most of her angry arrogance.
