"Your Majesty, Storyteller Ren is here." A palace guard entered the hall to report.
"Let him in." The empress waved her hand.
A moment later, Ren Baqian entered the hall and greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
At this moment, the empress was still wearing the same clothes. After seeing Ren Baqian, she passed the wine cup to Qing Yuan and waved at Qing Yuan and Hong Luan. Both of them immediately bowed to the empress and retreated.
When they passed by Ren Baqian, they didn't forget to size him up. Tonight's incident was a surprise to everyone, including the two of them.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" the empress asked.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say to you." Ren Baqian was already here, so he naturally couldn't shrink back. Furthermore, he could hide today, but he couldn't hide tomorrow. Since it was going to be like this sooner or later, he had to express his sincerity.
"Speak!" The empress sat up from the couch, shifted her body backward, and leaned against the back of the couch. "Come closer and speak."
Ren Baqian took a few steps forward and stopped two meters away from the couch. Then, he said, "I'm from China."
"I've heard you mention it before." The empress nodded her head.
"China isn't in this world. I don't know how far China is from here. Perhaps it's separated by an entire galaxy or even a different universe, "Ren Baqian said.
"I thought this was the only world in this world. Is there a world outside of the galaxy? Isn't that the place where the gods lived in? "the empress asked.
"I don't know about other things, but Earth is definitely not the place where the gods lived." Ren Baqian shook his head.
"Is Earth the place where you live? Continue speaking. "
"I have to return to Earth once every three days and return after one day. I'm afraid Your Majesty already knows about this, and I don't want to hide it from you. This kind of return trip is beyond my control, and I have no choice, "Ren Baqian said.
"So you can't stay here?" The empress's voice didn't change much, but Ren Baqian felt the surroundings suddenly turn cold.
Ren Baqian felt a chill down his spine, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Your Majesty, you're wrong."
Ren Baqian mobilized all his brain power, and without waiting for the empress to speak, he directly said, "I never knew why I had the opportunity to come here. But these days, I suddenly realized that there was a reason why I came to this world. I came for His Majesty.
Otherwise, why would I appear in front of Your Majesty's carriage instead of somewhere else?
It was meant to be.
Just as Your Majesty is destined to be the king of this world, I am destined to come here to accompany Your Majesty.
This was arranged by the heavens, and the heavens were the most powerful.
Since the heavens have arranged for me to be by Your Majesty's side, I will never leave. "
"Tell me the truth," the empress said as she looked at Ren Baqian carefully.
"Every word I said is true and comes from the bottom of my heart. If God has arranged for me to stay by Your Majesty's side for a period of time, I hope it will be ten thousand years. "
After Ren Baqian finished speaking, he could clearly feel the empress withdrawing her aura.
"If I find out that you lied to me, you know the consequences," the empress said. Her pair of phoenix eyes were filled with an indescribable look.
Even though she was the empress, she had never heard such words before.
Her gaze toward Ren Baqian became gentler and gentler.
"It's just that I really can't control my movements, so I'll have to go back tonight. However, I feel that it's also a good thing to go back. I can help Your Majesty find something worthy of Your Majesty. "
"Pour me some wine," the empress said.
Ren Baqian nimbly filled the wine cup beside him and passed it to the empress. After seeing that she had finished drinking, he filled another cup for her.
"Remember your words," the empress said again.
"How can I not remember? Even if I lose my life, I will still look up to Your Majesty from the netherworld, "Ren Baqian said.
"Drink this cup of wine." The empress immediately handed the wine cup over.
Ren Baqian looked at the wine cup in the empress's hand and thought that this was an indirect kiss, right? However, his hands didn't slow down. After receiving the wine cup, he drank it in one gulp.
He felt that there seemed to be a fragrant aroma in the wine.
"I will remember your words. Go back and look for me the day after tomorrow, "the empress said.
"I will take my leave." Ren Baqian placed the wine cup at the side, bowed to the empress, and left.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Qing Yuan and Hong Luan standing not far away.
"Greetings to the two ladies." Ren Baqian cupped his hands toward them.
"Greetings to Storyteller Ren." Both of them bowed as well. Today, Ren Baqian was no longer just a storyteller.
Even if their attitude toward him wasn't like how they treated the empress, it was still much better than before.
Ren Baqian found the imperial guard outside and asked him to bring him back to his previous room. After closing the door, Ren Baqian went back to his bed and thought about the empress's every move just now.
He remembered the change in the empress's attitude. So far, it seemed that he had done a good job?
He wasn't too sure about other things, but Ren Baqian could see that the empress liked to listen to flattering words.
This was normal. Since ancient times, who hadn't been like this? Even those famous emperors in history couldn't escape. Therefore, even the empress was like this.
No matter what, she was only a 23-year-old woman. Although her position as an empress was different, she was far superior to ordinary people in many aspects, such as the mind and vision of an empress, the governance of the country, and personal strength.
However, all these couldn't hide the fact that she was only a 23-year-old woman. In some aspects, she might even be inferior to ordinary people.
For example, she didn't have much resistance to pleasant words.
This was especially true when she didn't hate him.
Although it was a little despicable to think this way, he still had to work hard in this aspect.
Of course, there were other actions that he had to take. For example, he had to choose some gifts for the empress when he returned.
At the same time, he had to prepare information on the exploration and excavation of iron ores, as well as the smelting of iron ores.
The former was private, and the latter was public. He had to firmly grasp both aspects.
After thinking for a while, Ren Baqian fell into a deep sleep. Too many things happened tonight. His mood was like a roller coaster, and he was really too tired.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on a soft mattress and was surrounded by a familiar scenery.
"I'm back." Ren Baqian lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling. He was so lazy that he didn't want to move at all.
In Dayao, he didn't dare to slack off. In a short period of time, he did things that he had never done in his entire life. He didn't even think that he would do them.
After returning, he could finally slack off a little.
He rolled a few times on the bed and lay down for a long time before sitting up.
Ren Baqian stood in front of the window and looked out. It was snow-white outside, and the entire neighborhood was white.
It should be seven or eight o 'clock at this time, but he didn't see the sun. The sky was a little gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow soon.
Another twelve days had passed, and it was now the middle to late November.
