Chapter 2 Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are not as good as yours

Huazhi really couldn't bear Li Qingxuan waiting here alone, but for some reasons he couldn't reveal his identity to Li Qingxuan, so he could only make up reasons.

"Your wife is still alive and is now a maid in the palace. She misses you very much, but the palace rules are strict and she cannot come to see you in person."

"This time I leave the palace, she begged me to come and see you."

"She asked me to tell you that she hopes you can go to Luo City so that you can get closer. One day, you can meet again."

Li Qingxuan was stunned.

Is my wife really still alive?

His eyes were already red.

After three years of waiting, he was already despairing.

What a joy it is to hear such news at this moment.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"

Seeing Li Qingxuan's excited look, Huazhi bit her lower lip.

"Then when the snow stops, you can go to Luo City."

"Since you can paint, open a painting studio. There are many dignitaries in Luo City, so you won't have to worry about supporting yourself."

With that said, Huazhi greeted the guard outside and asked the guard to bring in a bag of silver and put it on Li Qingxuan's table.

"I'll give you this money so you can settle down after entering the city."

Li Qingxuan shook his head.

"You and I are not relatives, how can I take your money."

Huazhi seemed to have expected such a reaction from Li Qingxuan.

"You must have a place to stay when you go to the city. This money is not given to you, but lent to you by me. You will pay me back when you make money."

"All right."

Li Qingxuan is not a nagging person either.

"I will definitely repay the principal with interest in the future."

"Let me give the girl an IOU."

"No need, I trust you as a person."

After Huazhi finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and left.

She was afraid that she would tell Li Qingxuan the truth if she couldn't bear it.

Outside the wooden house, Huazhi turned into the supreme Empress of Great Xia again.

"Leave a team of people waiting nearby. If the owner of the wooden house is harmed in the slightest, I will take it from you."

After Huazhi finished speaking, the general next to him hurriedly handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we will protect each other to the death."

Five days later, Luodu West City.

Li Qingxuan rented a shop.

Behind the shop is just a yard of more than 300 square meters, and a few rooms, which are living areas.

Houses in this era were not as scarce as in later generations, and this layout was standard for shops.

After Li Qingxuan rented the yard, he began to buy stationery and prepare to open the business.

He doesn't expect to make a lot of money, as long as he can make ends meet.

Huazhi left a lot of money to Li Qingxuan, leaving more than half of the cost of renting a house. Even after buying all kinds of supplies, it was enough for Li Qingxuan to live for a year.

For three years, I lived a hard life, eating the wind and drinking the dew.

This time when he came to the royal city and knew that Huazhi was still alive, Li Qingxuan was in a particularly good mood.

I simply bought some mutton to reward myself.

A pot of mutton-boiled meat, paired with fine wine, will make your life full of flavor in no time.

At the same time, inside the palace.

Huazhi, the Empress of Great Xia, was standing alone on the stargazing tower.

The Star Observation Tower is eighteen feet high and is the tallest building in the palace.

It was winter at the moment and the wind was freezing.

But Huazhi remained unmoved at all, looking straight to the west.

"I wonder what Dao Dao is doing right now? Are you thinking of me as much as I miss him?"

The general who was left to protect Li Qingxuan had already reported Li Qingxuan's situation to her, but she was still worried.

Although he was in the palace, his heart had already flown to Li Qingxuan.

An old figure walked up the stone steps and appeared behind Huazhi.

"What is your Majesty looking at?"

Huazhi turned around and showed some respect when she saw the person coming.

"Teacher, you are here."

Yang Xuanji, the imperial master of Daxia, was also the imperial master of the dynasty.

It was his plan to support Huazhi on the throne.

"The direction your Majesty is looking at is where that person lives, right?"

Huazhi's face changed slightly.

"The teachers all know."

"Your Majesty has been with him through thick and thin, so it is normal for him to be concerned about him. However, I have to remind your Majesty that based on his status, he is absolutely not worthy of your Majesty."

"If you want to be your Majesty's husband, you must be someone with outstanding merits and status. If your Majesty marries a commoner, it will definitely cause shock to the government and the public."

"Can..."

Huazhi was about to speak but stopped.

She also understood that she had just secured her throne and it was not appropriate to make her relationship with Li Qingxuan public.

This was the reason why she didn't recognize Li Qingxuan.

But for her, it was only temporary.

Sooner or later she will announce Li Qingxuan's existence to the whole world.

What's the point of having thousands of miles of mountains and rivers if you don't have the one you love by your side?

"This is what I have said. I hope your Majesty will think twice!"

After Yang Xuanji finished speaking, he resigned.

Huazhi didn't say much, she just looked to the west in a daze.

A purple robe with splendid dragon patterns fluttering gently in the wind.

After a long time, after repeated reminders from the female officer, Huazhi walked down from the Star Observation Tower.

Although her body was stiff with cold, her heart was filled with joy.

In her hand she held a gold medal with the words "Save Death" written on it.

This was specially prepared by her for Li Qingxuan. Even if he committed any crime, he could be acquitted.

But I don't know how to give this gold medal away.

"Wait a minute, husband, I will definitely not let you down. We all need to be good..."

To the west of the city, in the small courtyard.

A pot of mutton boiled in your mouth, coupled with a few glasses of strong wine, makes your belly warm.

The charcoal burned vigorously in the stove, making him feel a little sleepy.

It's still too cold these days, the afternoon is gloomy, and it might snow again.

Li Qingxuan planned to take a break, then buy rice paper and make the wooden plaque together.

I don't know if my paintings can be sold, and I still have to pay back the money I borrowed from others.

After Li Qingxuan packed his things, he lay down on the couch.

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my mind.

"Ding! The system is being activated..."
