Chapter 25 Meeting Gollandar

Chapter 25 Meeting Gollandar
Luoping An took the dazzling jade box.
Du Gufu looked at Luoping An, who was dressed in official robes and looked full of spirit. In a trance, it seemed that the one kneeling there was the former Luo Shi. Du Gufu smiled from the bottom of his heart.
For decades, he lived with the events of that year, blaming himself for not being able to protect the master and the lady. Now, he handed over the things left by the master and the lady to the young master with his own hands, and he smiled.
洛平安手捧着玉盒，那里面装的便是重阳商库的玉玺，刹那间，似乎洛平安看到了父亲和母亲微笑着看着自己
似乎胡坤的影子也站在一旁，微笑着
Luoping'an thanked the emperor and stood up, holding a jade box and walking to the side.
Shangguanwu looked at Luoping'an and nodded, then an eunuch walked slowly into the hall.
"Prince Colanda seeks an audience!"
“宣”
庆武帝上官武挥动袖子，回到龙椅坐上，目光看着殿门
只见哥兰达亲王身着不知是什么动物制成的皮甲，意气风发的走入大殿，单膝跪在殿前
"Golanda has met the emperor of Daqing."
"Shangguan Wu raised his eyebrows, propping his arm on the chair to support his neck, looking very comfortable."
"Seeing this, Golanda's face turned dark, but still respectfully asked."
"How does Your Majesty consider the proposal we have put forward?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Goranda laughed.
"Your Highness, I have considered your proposal, compensation can be given, but the princess cannot be married off."
Golanda's face immediately turned angry.
"You're not giving us a way out! The blood of the grassland people still runs strong!"
After saying this, Golanda turned and tried to leave.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu spoke slowly.
"If your father were still alive, we would definitely grant you this favor, but don't forget your place."
Gorantan hesitated for a moment, then left the hall. There was a heated discussion among the officials.
"This Guolangda really doesn't know his place."
Yeah, yeah.
"Who dares to speak to the emperor like this...."
Wu Shangguan knocked on the chair, and the courtiers finally quieted down.
Shangguan Shuo walked out from the side.
"Father Emperor, your child believes that if Goranda acts impulsively, our dynasty can take this opportunity to send troops to rectify the grassland tribes. Your child has already found out that Goranda's uncle, Goran Mountain, is weak-willed. If we can support him to take the position of the Grassland King, the grassland tribes will be in our hands."
Lord Shangguan Wu nodded after listening, stood up.
"I'm tired, there's something to report."
After saying that, he left Taiqing Hall.
"Dismissed!"
"Long live our Emperor, long live, long live!"
…………
Lu Ping'an followed Dugu Fu out of the hall, about to speak when Li Gonggong walked up to Lu Ping'an.
"Young Master Luo, His Majesty wants to see you."
Luo Ping'an nodded and followed Li Gonggong towards the study. As they passed Dugu Fu,
Dugu Fu glanced at Luo Ping'an, the uneasy look in his eyes beneath the golden mask slowly fading, and then quickly left the hall.
Luoping An followed Li Gonggong to the Imperial Study. On the way, they passed by the harem, and Ye Shi appeared in Luoping An's sight.
"The servant pays respect to the Empress."
Li Gonggong first bowed and said.
Luoping An realized and also followed suit, bowing.
Yè slowly walked up to Lùo Píng'ān.
"This palace has long heard of the distinguished appearance of Lord Lùo, and today upon seeing, it is indeed true,"
Lǐ gōnggōng chuckled and said.
"Empress, His Majesty is still waiting,"
Ye nodded and left, and Luo Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief.
The people of the royal family don't seem easy to provoke.
Luo Ping'an muttered in his heart, and then followed Li Gonggong towards the study.
…………
In a room of the Honglu Temple
Golanda angrily smashes the jade bottle, and the room is no longer in its previous tidy state, it is filled with shards of broken glass from Golanda's outburst
Golanda deflates and leans on the table
"Damn the Shangguan clan, when this king returns to the tribe, you will pay the price."
After saying that, Goulanda shouted towards the door.
"Someone, prepare a carriage for this king. I'm going back to the grassland!"
"Prince Goranda, please stay a bit longer in Tian Du."
Before the words had even settled, Lord Xia Zhong from the Imperial Council entered the room, followed by Goranda's bodyguard being thrown into the room.
Goranda's face was filled with terror, his pupils dilated.
"What are you all doing?"
He Yangzhong smiled slightly.
"Just letting the prince stay as a guest a little longer."
After speaking, He Yangzhong's smile disappeared, he turned and walked out of the room, and the door closed behind him, leaving Goranda sitting on the ground.
He Yangzhong walked out of the Honglu Temple and saw that the Imperial Guards had already surrounded the temple.
"Do not let a carrier pigeon leave or enter the Honglu Temple,"
He Yangzhong gave the order and then mounted his horse to leave the Honglu Temple.
……….
In the study
Shangguan Wu looked at the sand table with the Ge Shen Nu tribe sign and slowly pushed it down
At this time, Li Gonggong entered
"Your Majesty, Luo Gongzi has arrived"
Shangguan Wu smiled
Lou Ping'an immediately walked in and bowed to the emperor.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
Shangguan Wu waved his hand and then sat down on the chair.
"How is it possible that someone so young has taken this position? I have never heard of such a thing."
Luo Ping'an smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your promotion."
Shang Guanwu waved his hand.
"There's no need for you to argue with me here. Tell me, how do you view the issue of the Geshu Nu tribe?"
Luo Ping'an was startled and pondered for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I believe that war only brings disaster to the people. If we can reduce casualties, then it would be a good thing."
Listening, Shangguan Wu nodded and pondered for a while, waving his hand to signal Luo Ping to step down.
"I hereby retire,"
"Wait a moment,"
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wu called out to Luo Ping'an again.
"After I deal with this matter, you should also get ready for your own marriage."
Luo Ping'an was startled and quickly tried to speak.
Interrupted by Lord Shang Wu with a single glance, I had to leave.
………..
In the Fandu Palace.
Princess San of the Shang family, Yue'er, was extremely anxious, not having had a proper meal for three or four days in a row.
Then, Crown Prince Shang Qian walked in and Yue'er hurriedly surrounded him.
"Big brother, how is Luo Ping'an?"
Shangguan Qian looked at Shangguan Yue'er's anxious appearance and couldn't help but feel amused and angry.
"He's already fine, so you can relax."
Shangguan Yue'er's worried heart finally settled.
Shangguan Qian looked at Shangguan Yue'er curiously and teased, "
Our Yue'er seems to be worrying about someone for the first time."
When Shangguan Yue'er heard this, her face instantly turned red, and she stuttered to explain.
"No, no, it's not. Isn't that the person who saved me? I should go back to them first!"
Unable to explain, Yueer covered her face and ran back into the room.
Shangguan Qian couldn't help but laugh at Yueer's embarrassed state, then turned and walked out of the bustling hall.
只见二皇子上官朔就靠着红墙在一侧
上官乾的笑容凝固在脸上，上官朔缓缓走到上官乾面前
“见过太子陛下，不知什么事笑成如此这般，不如说出来让弟弟也乐呵乐呵”
Shangguan Qian's smiling expression faded, and he spoke coldly
"What does it have to do with you? You'd better focus on being a carefree Second Prince."
After saying that, he brushed past and left.
"If big brother finds the position of the crown prince too tiring, why not let little brother share the burden for you!"
Shangguan Shuo shouted to the departing figure of Shangguan Qian with a smile.
Empress Ye, watching the two from upstairs, smiled slightly and then turned away.
