Chapter 1067: Delusion
Kiss, just a taste.
Xiao Rongyan restrained his heavy breathing, and stared at Bai Qingyan, whose breathing was disordered, with his dark eyes. He kissed her lips again, and then said in a low voice: “Abao’s heart is filled with these books left by your mother. Do you still have room to miss me?”
“Speaking of this…” Bai Qingyan looked at Xiao Rongyan and asked again, “Do you know the meaning of these words in Queen Ji’s books?”
Xiao Rongyan glanced at the bamboo slips left by his mother, stood up, picked up the bamboo slips and took a look, and said, “I have read these books… I once asked my mother about it, and she said… these books are not suitable for the current era. She left them behind in the hope that one day, when the right era comes, they can inspire the monarch at that time and prevent the Great Yan from being destroyed.”
Bai Qingyan’s lips slightly opened, so…Xiao Rongyan’s initial refusal to allow the two countries to decide the outcome based on national policy was also due to Queen Ji?
She didn’t want to remind Xiao Rongyan of his sad past, so she stood up and took the bamboo slips from Xiao Rongyan’s hand: “In that case, let’s discuss it later. Let’s talk about the alliance of the four countries first.”
Xiao Rongyan nodded and put the bamboo slips that Bai Qingyan had rolled up aside: “Come…”
Xiao Rongyan pulled her to the chair, and after he sat down, he held Bai Qingyan in his arms and let Bai Qingyan sit on his lap.
Looking at each other, Xiao Rongyan said to Bai Qingyan, “The reason why Tianfeng Country held this four-country alliance this time is because their great wizard… received a revelation from God, saying that God has chosen the owner of this land, so if they forcibly occupy this land, they will be punished by God!”
“God’s punishment?” She looked towards Xiao Rongyan.
Xiao Rongyan nodded: “There is a desert in Tianfeng Country. It is said that the gods punished Tianfeng Country… and turned the fertile grassland that was originally most suitable for grazing into a desert that the people of Tianfeng Country cannot easily set foot in. Moreover… it is said that the desert in Tianfeng Country is expanding every day, swallowing up the arable land of Tianfeng Country. This is the real reason why Tianfeng Country set foot in Xiliang, not because Xiliang has the same god as them.”
“How did you know?” she asked.
“Xiliang is not so defensive against Dayan, so it is easy for Dayan grain merchants to sneak into Xiliang to get information.”
She nodded and lowered her eyes to think carefully: “God’s punishment…”
Hearing Bai Qingyan’s low murmur, Xiao Rongyan grabbed Bai Qingyan’s boneless hand and played with it, and asked Bai Qingyan in a low voice: “Do you believe in God?”
She looked up at Xiao Rongyan’s eyes that seemed to be unconvinced, and said firmly: “I don’t know whether the gods believed by the people of Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom really exist, but I respect the gods they believe in, and I don’t think their beliefs are false. I believe that God has eyes…”
Otherwise, how could she be reborn and return to the time before Jinxiu got married when she was experiencing despair and dying with her eyes open?
Therefore, Bai Qingyan has always believed that God has eyes! It is precisely because God could not bear to see a loyal family like the Bai family end up like that that he let her come back and let her brothers come back!
Xiao Rongyan didn’t expect Bai Qingyan’s answer to be so firm. He was quite surprised. He whispered, “The idea of gods and Buddhas has always been one of the means to comfort and reassure the people… and guide the people to be good.”
The implication was that Xiao Rongyan didn’t really believe it in his heart.
These are what the imperial teacher will teach the emperor after he becomes the emperor. It can be said that… these are words that are kept secret by the royal family of all generations. Because the teachings of gods and Buddhas have always been used as a means to guide the people, over time… those who truly hold power in the royal family will become less and less respectful of gods and Buddhas.
In particular, Queen Ji analyzed things when her children were young, and was always able to dispel their fear of unknown things by taking them to practice, and taught them that there are no ghosts in this world.
Without the fear of ghosts and monsters, there will naturally be less reverence for gods and Buddhas.
She had not yet figured out how to tell Xiao Rongyan about her rebirth, and at this point… the structure of the nations and the world had changed tremendously from Bai Qingyan’s last life. Even if she told Xiao Rongyan about it, she would have no way of proving that what she said was true and not just a dream.
Bai Qingyan, who was meditating quietly, suddenly felt her abdomen move, and she hurriedly held onto Xiao Rongyan’s arm.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Rongyan looked nervous.
“The baby is moving…” Bai Qingyan put his hands on his abdomen, showing a look of surprise.
Xiao Rongyan heard Bai Qing say that the child’s throat was moving and rolling: “I’ll try…”
He carefully placed his palm on Bai Qingyan’s abdomen, and waited for a long time but the baby in her belly did not move. Xiao Rongyan was a little disappointed. He stood up and helped Bai Qingyan sit on the chair. He knelt on one knee beside Bai Qingyan and put his ear to her abdomen to listen for any movement. He felt the fetus in Bai Qingyan’s belly move.
“It moved!” Xiao Rongyan raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan. His deep dark eyes were rarely calm and full of surprise.
Bai Qingyan’s lips curled up, and she saw Xiao Rongyan holding her bulging belly with both hands, and whispered to the little one in Bai Qingyan’s belly: “Daddy heard from mother, you are very good, and you didn’t let mother suffer! Daddy is very happy, Daddy… is not with you and mother, but… I am thinking about you and your mother! You must love mother well, and when you are born, Daddy will thank you very much!”
After saying that, Xiao Rongyan couldn’t help but put his ear to her belly to listen to the baby’s movements…
To be honest, Xiao Rongyan’s feelings towards the child were not so clear before. He just knew that he had to protect Abao and his child and must not let himself become a father like his father. But when he felt the movement of the child in his belly just now, it was like a feather stirring Xiao Rongyan’s calm fatherly love, causing ripples in his heart.
She looked at Xiao Rongyan’s excited expression, raised her hand and gently stroked the top of Xiao Rongyan’s head: “Don’t worry, the child is really well behaved, I’m not saying this to comfort you.”
She held onto Xiao Rongyan’s arm and said, “Get up first, and let’s sit down and discuss the alliance…”
The alliance between Great Yan and Great Zhou was simple. It was a treaty that if any country attacked Yan or Great Zhou, the other country would send troops to help, in order to deter Tianfeng from acting rashly.
“The Ninth Prince will come over tonight to finalize the matter with the Queen of the Great Zhou. Next… Abao and Ali will need to go through the motions.” Xiao Rongyan sat down below Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Besides… now that the emperors of Great Zhou and Yan have arrived, Tianfeng will definitely send people to discuss the time of the alliance, so we don’t need to sign the alliance too early. When Tianfeng sends people to inquire, as long as our two countries say the same date, they will definitely know it in their minds.”
