Chapter 147 Perfect timing
this day.

Di Hong came to the palace to have tea with Xue Ye.

The two walked in the imperial garden, admiring the surrounding scenery on a snowy night.

"I am tired of the beautiful scenery of this imperial garden, and there is nothing new to see."

Di Hong smiled and said, "If your majesty wants something new, just give a hint and the people below will bring you all the good stuff."

Xue Ye snorted and pointed at Di Hong.

"If you were a minister, you would be a traitor at least."

"Hahahaha." Di Hong laughed.

"A treacherous minister is good. A treacherous minister can help your majesty share his worries."

"Your Majesty, as long as you are happy, I don't care. Do you need it? If you need it, I can be a treacherous minister now."

"Can a treacherous minister also be a loyal minister?"

Xue Ye waved his hands: "What a twisted theory. You are a Titled Douluo after all, and the youngest Titled Douluo. How can you have so many twisted theories?"

"You are a traitor, how dare you say such a thing?"

"You must not be a treacherous minister. If you do, your wife will fight me to death. She doesn't care whether I am the emperor or not."

"Let's go to Qinghe."

The two continued and soon arrived at where Xue Qinghe lived.

The palace where Xue Qinghe lives is very close to the Prince's Mansion, but the current Prince's Mansion no longer exists. After Xue Ye came to power, he connected the Prince's Mansion and the Imperial Palace, and the current Prince's Mansion is part of the Imperial Palace.

At this time, Xue Qinghe was sitting outside, reading a book in the breeze, feeling very comfortable. When he saw Xue Ye coming, he immediately stood up and went forward to greet him.

Snowy night is coming, and we notified you yesterday.

"Meet Father, Uncle Di."

Xue Ye nodded slightly, and just as Di Hong was about to salute, he was stopped by him.

"You are Qinghe's elder, and it is only right for him to bow to you. How can you bow to him?"

Di Hong chuckled.

Xue Qinghe also said: "Father is right, Uncle Di, please don't do this again in the future. I don't even dare to go to Yuexuan anymore."

Xue Qinghe is also a frequent visitor of Yuexuan. He often visits Yuexuan. He likes the atmosphere there very much, it is elegant and quiet. However, Di Yuan is not there every time he goes there. It is a well-known fact that Di Yuan is obsessed with cultivation. People who are in Yuexuan all year round hardly see him.

Di Yuan's two well-known hobbies are cultivation and painting.

"Okay." Di Hong didn't insist anymore.

"If Your Highness doesn't go to Yuexuan because of me, then Yuehua will be unwilling to do so."

After saying that, Di Hong suddenly looked towards a place not far away. Qian Renxue was standing there respectfully at the moment. Di Hong's gaze made her feel very uncomfortable, as if her soul was being seen through. She had only felt this feeling from her grandfather.

Seeing that Di Hong was staring at her, she couldn't help but get nervous.

After looking for a while, Di Hong retracted his gaze and Qian Renxue breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the person she was most afraid of in the Tiandou Empire was Di Hong. She was afraid that Di Hong would see something. If Di Hong discovered her and attacked her, then she would really not be able to leave the Tiandou Palace.

She has been in the Tiandou Palace for a year, and she doesn't want to give up all her efforts.

But fortunately, Di Hong probably didn’t notice anything.

She didn't notice that after Di Hong withdrew his gaze just now, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

Xue Ye patted Xue Qinghe on the shoulder.

"Let's go play chess with father."

Then Xue Ye looked at Di Hong again.

Di Hong understood immediately.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will watch the chess game without saying a word."

Xue Ye chuckled a few times and nodded with satisfaction.

Soon the father and son started playing chess. Qian Renxue was watching Xue Qinghe from a distance, but she would look at Di Hong from time to time. Di Hong just stared at the chessboard without saying a word until the two finished playing.

Looking at the chess game on the board, Xue Qinghe couldn't place the chess piece in his hand.

"It turns out that father is the better chess player, and I am not as good as him." Xue Qinghe put his wife back into the chess box and bowed to Xue Ye.

Xue Ye twirled his beard and smiled, "Haha, you are still too young after all, but it is not difficult to see from this game that your horizons have broadened a lot."

Then he put his hand down and said, "However, I lack the fighting spirit and the awareness of details in front of me."

Obviously, Xue Ye was educating Xue Qinghe. As the eldest son, Xue Qinghe spent the whole day reciting poems and composing couplets, indulging in mountains and rivers, and had no interest in the throne at all, which made Xue Ye a little unhappy.

His own son did not even fight for it.

He didn't want his son to fight too much, but he also didn't want him to not fight.

"I am grateful for your advice." Xue Qinghe said and looked to the side.

"Someone, serve tea."

"Yes, Your Highness." Qian Renxue, who was not far away, responded, then walked over with tea set. After pouring three cups of tea, she placed the cups in front of several people.

Xue Ye took a sip of the tea, and then his eyes lit up.

"Well, this tea is good. How do you make such good tea?"

Qian Renxue replied softly: "Your Majesty, there is nothing special about the tea. It's just that the water used to boil the tea is the dew collected from the Roselle grass."

"The dew of Roselle, so you have to collect it early in the morning." Xue Qinghe was a little surprised. He knew that if he wanted to collect the dew, he had to do it before dawn.

Qian Renxue smiled and said, "I heard that His Majesty would be here today, so I went to collect the snow before dawn."

"That's really thoughtful." Xue Qinghedao felt very relieved at the same time.

"Your Highness is flattered. You saved my life. It is my honor to work for Your Highness. And I am also very happy to be able to do something for Your Highness."

Di Hong glanced at her and then took a sip of tea.

The tea is really good and not poisonous.

Xue Ye also took another sip of tea.

"This child is smart and loyal. Why haven't I seen him in your palace before?"

Xue Ye doesn't come here often. After all, he has a lot of things to do every day. For Xue Qinghe, it's good enough to come here once or twice a year, so he has never seen Qian Renxue before.

Xue Qinghe replied, "Father, I rescued Xiaoxue from a wild beast a year ago. I felt sorry for her and thought she had no family, so I kept her by my side."

"Oh?" Xue Ye nodded slightly: "Not bad."

Then he stood up and looked into the distance.

"Speaking of which, I haven't gone hunting for a long time. Next month is your birthday, and someone has written a letter saying that they want to hold a hunting competition for you, and I have approved it."

"Thank you, father." Xue Qinghe was very happy and thanked him quickly.

"Okay, prepare yourself. There will be envoys from various affiliated kingdoms at the conference. You must show the demeanor of a prince of the empire."

"Yes." Xue Qinghe bowed.

Then Xue Ye left.

Di Hong patted his shoulder before leaving.

"Come on, I believe in you. Don't do anything else for this month. Just take good care of your thumb injury."

Then he left.

Di Hong naturally saw that Xue Qinghe was injured, but his injury was not serious.

Qian Renxue seemed to be thinking about something. The hunting meet, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity for her to take action? After a year of observation, he was now familiar with Xue Qinghe's every move and words and deeds, and there was no need to observe him anymore.

So, that night, she spread the news.
