Chapter 219 A Provocative Letter
Fu Chenan watched Xiao Yingchun quietly as she was being served, looking around with eyes full of curiosity and happiness, and he couldn't help but smile.

He has been looking forward to it ever since he decided to rebel with his father.

He was looking forward to the day when Miss Xiao would come to the palace and experience being surrounded and served by palace servants, and what her reaction would be.

Finally, his dream came true.

Her reaction was cuter and more genuine than she had imagined.

She is different from all the women in the Tianwu Dynasty.

When Xiao Yingchun saw Fu Chenan's smiling face, she realized belatedly: I was probably like "Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden"?
"Hehehe..." Xiao Yingchun giggled twice, drank the frozen pear juice, drank the red date ginger tea, and ate some snacks...

Xiao Yingchun hurriedly said: No need to serve me.

Fu Chenan then waved his hand and asked the palace servants to leave.

When only Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were left in the warm room, Fu Chenan came over and sat next to Xiao Yingchun. He grabbed her with his big hands and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"How does it feel?"

Xiao Yingchun smiled and narrowed her eyes: "No wonder the emperor likes to indulge in luxury. So many beautiful ladies are surrounding him, and beauties and delicacies are at his fingertips. It's a pleasure to think about it."

"Do you like it? If you like it, come often?" Fu Chenan tried his best to seduce.

Xiao Yingchun chuckled: "Okay..." but his eyes looked around.

The warm room is about 30 square meters, but the windows are covered with screens and paper, so it is not bright enough.

"Will you replace the glass of the windows later? That way the light will be better."

Fu Chenan: "Okay. I'll measure the dimensions later. Can you ask someone to do it?"

"Okay. Why don't other places in the East Palace use earthenware fires?"

Fu Chenan: “Save money.”

Now, apart from the Golden Palace and the Imperial Study, only the emperor and the prince's bedrooms had a warm room.

The harem retained the tombs of the Empress Dowager, the Queen Dowager Qi and her son, and the legless Prince Shunan (the former crown prince).

The people in the palace said that Emperor Tianwu had a kind heart like a bodhisattva. He was harsh on himself, but generous to the four people from the previous dynasty.

Emperor Tianwu, who had a kind heart, was in a bad mood at this moment.

He was in the imperial study, reading a letter handed to him by Lu Daban and listening to Lu Daban talking about events from the long past.

"Back then, I only had time to hide this letter, but I didn't dare let anyone know..."

The late emperor asked Lu Daban to burn the letter after reading it.

Lu Daban was careful and didn't burn it, but hid it.

Not long after, the Fu family army was defeated due to lack of food, and the Fu family was demoted to commoners. Marshal Fu died with regrets.

"The late emperor was instigated by someone and decided to abolish the Fu family..."

The main reason for the defeat of the Fu family army was the suspicion of the late emperor, and the person who instigated it was by no means innocent.

However, this letter only contained content that instigated the late emperor to be wary of the Fu family army, but there was no signature.

Obviously the other party was also trying to be careful, fearing that his identity would be exposed.

The person who was able to deliver the letter directly to the Emperor of Daliang back then was definitely not an ordinary person.

If he were a minister of Daliang, he would not dare to write to the emperor of Daliang in such a tone.

Then it can only be a Gentile.

According to Lu Daban, the late emperor received this letter three months before the defeat of the Fu family army.

It was just around the time when the Fu family army and the Ao family army switched defenses.

The Fu family army was originally stationed at Jiannan Pass, and after the change of guard, they went to Ju'an Pass.

On the other side of Jiannan Pass is the Kingdom of Annan, famous for its abundant fish and rice.

On the other side of Ju'an Pass is the Tianlang Kingdom with its towering mountains and steep cliffs.

The people of Annan are wealthy, fond of enjoyment, and like the beauty of music, singing and dancing, as well as writing, but they are not warlike.

The Tianlang Kingdom is surrounded by mountains and ridges, and the farmland is scarce and barren. It is difficult for the people to grow crops, and most of them need to hunt and collect herbs to survive, and they are more warlike. At first glance, the Tianlang Kingdom is more suspicious.

But the people of Tianlang Kingdom do not stick together and are used to fighting on their own. Moreover, the country is poor, and the Daliang Dynasty is not interested in them. What is the reason for them to attack the Daliang Dynasty?
However, the Kingdom of Annan was very wealthy and was able to offer huge benefits to the Daliang court.

In recent years, the powerful and even the royal family of the Daliang Dynasty have become increasingly extravagant, which has a lot to do with the large quantities of various silks, satins and jewelry sold from Annan.

No longer a threat to Annan...

Who could it be?

A guard came in hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the prince sent someone to report that Miss Xiao is here."

Emperor Tianwu came back to his senses: "Oh? Where is she?"

"In the warm room of the East Palace..."

Emperor Tianwu started walking, and suddenly turned back and glanced at Lu Daban's graying temples: "You should work harder in the next two years and bring out some reliable and smart people."

"After two years, if everything goes well, I will allow you to leave the palace and retire."

"...Yes!!" Lu Daban responded while suppressing his excitement.

In the warm room of the East Palace, before Emperor Tianwu entered, laughter came in first: "Hahaha... Miss Xiao! I'm late, don't blame me!"

Xiao Yingchun hurriedly got up from Fu Chenan's arms: The emperor is here!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yingchun saluted casually, but the emperor hurriedly gave her a fake support.

"Don't be so polite! You are a noble of my Tianwu Dynasty, and I should be the one to show respect to you."

"It's just that I'm a few years older than you. I didn't want to embarrass you, so I shamelessly didn't greet you... hehehe..."

Emperor Tianwu had a soldier's unrestrained and heroic spirit. He put himself in a very low position in his words. As soon as he sat down, he asked Fu Chenan: "Anything else to eat or have fun? Bring them all to Miss Xiao?"

Fu Chenan: "Father, I have asked someone to prepare..."

Emperor Tianwu Fu Zhonghai: "Why call me father? We are all family, call me dad!"

Fu Chenan: "...Yes, Dad."

"That's fine. If there's anything else here that Miss Xiao can take away, pick it up and bring it to Miss Xiao!"

Fu Chenan: "Okay..."

Xiao Yingchun had a strange look on her face. She always felt that Emperor Tianwu was plotting against her, but she had no evidence.

"Miss Xiao, don't be stingy about what you want to buy. I have a lot of things here. I have as many as you want. Just take them and exchange them for money..."

"Oh, by the way, where's the milk tea? Bring it over for Miss Xiao to try!"

The palace maid brought three cups of hot milk tea.

Xiao Yingchun drank the milk tea and felt that the taste was a little familiar: "This milk tea..."

Fu Chenan laughed dryly: "My father tasted the Yitong milk tea that I brought back and found it delicious. After he ascended the throne, he asked the chef to find a way to adjust the flavor. Isn't this..." This is the taste.

Xiao Yingchun:!!!

No wonder it tastes familiar, it turns out to be an ancient imitation!

"It tastes delicious!" Xiao Yingchun quickly gave a thumbs up.

“Hahaha! Miss Xiao, I’m glad you like it!” Emperor Tianwu suddenly stood up and slapped his head, “I still have things to do over there, so I won’t talk to Miss Xiao for now…”

"An'er, you must take good care of Miss Xiao!"

"Yes! Dad."

"If you make Miss Xiao unhappy, I will break your legs!"

After Emperor Tianwu finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yingchun with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, Miss Xiao. I only treat this brat like this. I am usually very gentle..."

Xiao Yingchun laughed dryly: "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Daban lowered his head and pretended to be deaf.

Is this Majesty gentle?

The kind of gentleness that comes when the whole family is exiled after their property is confiscated?
