Chapter 112
After everyone saw it, Chu Yunxi asked the people around him to light up the surrounding lights.
All at once the hall was lit up.
Chu Yunxi stretched out her hand and blocked some light for Xia Fenglan, so as not to make her uncomfortable.
This small move made Xia Fenglan's heart warm.
"Feng Lan, are you talking to me not enough with this look?" Looking at Shang Fenglan's gentle gaze, Chu Yunxi hooked his lips and said.
Inadequate? Xia Fenglan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered some shameful things that the two of them had done in the dark before, and her cheeks instantly turned red.
The emotion in his heart was swept away, and all that remained was a thick sense of shame, he snorted, turned his head, and no longer looked at Chu Yunxi.
Chu Yunxi took two steps forward as if at random, blocking in front of Xia Fenglan. Feng Lan looked embarrassed, so cute, how could she let others see it.
Fortunately, the eyes of the people around were still around the jade in the middle, and the jade lost its brilliance and lay quietly on the ground. Even so, it is impossible to take your eyes off it.
The country is rich in jade, and the jewelry of many countries is purchased from the country. This kind of jade, it is already conceivable that it will set off more waves in the court in the future. The palace has a long night, and there is always something new to add a little interest.
Seeing that the envoys present were a little moved, a smile appeared in Chu Yunxi's eyes, and the effect she wanted was achieved.
"I think you have all seen that this kind of jade, at first glance, is simple and unpretentious, but it can bloom with such a gorgeous brilliance in the dark night." Chu Yunxi opened his mouth and said, "Today is the wedding of me and the queen, and in order to show the friendship between the Liuli Kingdom and the other countries, I have decided to give away some of this kind of jade. ”
Chu Yunxi waved his hand and asked the people in the household department to report the gift list.
The largest number of gifts was given to the Qin State, amounting to a few hundred carts. The Qin State and the Liuli Kingdom were friendly friends, and they even helped Chu Yunxi when he was quelling the chaos, and everyone present understood that he had obtained such a amount.
"Naturally, after you go back, if the concubines in the palace like this kind of jade, they can also come to my Liuli Kingdom to buy it." Chu Yunxi smiled and asked the household department to quote a price.
It's a money grab!
The envoys of various countries glared at Chu Yunxi, but they also knew that it was estimated that after going back, it would not be many days before they would send money to Liuli Country. Although the price of jade is extremely high, it is not much money for the concubines who have lived in the deep palace for a long time. If you can use jade to regain the emperor's favor, these efforts will be worth it.
"陛xià." Xia Fenglan snuggled into Chu Yunxi's arms with a smile, pointed at Luo Guo and said, "Your Majesty, can you give Luo Guo another hundred carts of jade?" ”
"Oh?" Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why?" ”
She really wanted to send another hundred carts of jade to Luo Guo, but she didn't expect that before her excuse could be said, Feng Lan would say it for her first.
"Concubine, I like those two cranes very much." Xia Fenglan pursed her lips, glanced at the envoy of Luo Guo, and said.
"Since Feng Lan likes it, then I will send Luo Guo another two hundred cars." Chu Yunxi waved his hand and said heartily.
"Your Majesty, by all means." Master Li of the Ministry of Rites frowned, and was the first to disagree. If Luo Guo gets another 200 carts of jade, it will be three times the number of other countries, and such a huge gap can easily cause dissatisfaction among other countries.
Chu Yunxi glanced at Master Li coldly, and the displeasure in his eyes was very obvious.
It is related to the national situation, and Lord Li has to say two more words: "Your Majesty, you can't blindly indulge the queen, please think twice!" ”
Chu Yunxi dotes on Xia Fenglan, this is well known.
"What Master Li said is really ridiculous." Xia Fenglan snorted coldly and slowly walked out from behind Chu Yunxi, "This palace is the queen, in the eyes of Lord Li, doesn't she have the right to a little reward?" Or is it that in Lord Li's heart, only your nephew is worthy of standing by His Majesty's side! When she said this, a trace of fierceness flashed in Xia Fenglan's eyes. Xia Fenglan changed her previous gentle appearance and looked directly at Master Li. That kind of look is not as sharp as Chu Yunxi, nor is it as indifferent as Chu Yunxi, but it makes people feel a kind of pressure.
Chu Yunxi was sent to prison together with Luo Hao a few days ago, in addition to Luo Hao, there was also Lord Li's nephew.
When Xia Fenglan said this, the momentum around her body completely changed. In the past, Feng Lan was gentle, just like a clear spring. But at this moment, Xia Fenglan really has a look called majesty.
Chu Yunxi looked at Feng Lan and almost couldn't take his eyes off it. The first time she saw such a Feng Lan, she only felt that Feng Lan at this moment had a kind of brilliance on her body that she couldn't say, and she was extremely charming.
Xia Fenglan's attitude towards Master Li is for deterrence, on the one hand, and naturally there is also a little bit of selfishness. The minister sent a man to Chu Yunxi, although she knew that Chu Yunxi would solve it, but she was very uncomfortable in her heart.
Seeing this, Chu Yunxi was happy in her heart, Feng Lan was jealous, it was really good.
"Your Majesty, the old minister just wants to ......" Master Li just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chu Yunxi.
"Master Li has been a scholar of the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he must be a little tired." Chu Yunxi took a step forward and grabbed Xia Fenglan's shoulder. glanced at Master Li lightly, and that look was extremely cold.
Touching that sight, Lord Li's heart was cold, just because of his words, did His Majesty actually want to remove him!
Qin Bowen tugged at Master Li's sleeve and motioned for him not to say anything more. Immediately, he took a step forward, stood in front of Lord Li, and said: "What the queen said is that Niangniang is the mother of a country, and she will reward 200 carts of jade, what is it." ”
Chu Yunxi nodded and no longer pursued Master Li.
"Say less." Qin Bowen whispered to Master Li, "I have followed His Majesty for many years, what kind of person His Majesty is, don't you know what kind of person He is?" "A person who can solve his two brothers and ascend to the throne of God by thunderous means, how can he do things without thinking about it.
When Chu Yunxi was still a prince, it was not that no one thought of using Xia Fenglan, but in the end, Chu Yunxi did not solve it.
Qin Bowen looked at the two people standing at the top and shook his head, Master Li is not bad, but he is too upright.
Chu Yunxi glanced at Qin Bowen and smiled slightly, her uncle, will always be the person who will judge the situation the most.
"Your Majesty, the jade that was mined a few days ago happened to be all given to your countries." Xia Xin took a step forward and reported, "If you want to give Luo Guo an additional 200 cars, you will have to re-mine." It will take at least two days, and there are many trivial matters in the country of Luo now, and I am afraid that the envoy will not be able to stay here for two days. ”
"I have opened my golden mouth, how can I test it." Chu Yunxi thought for a while and said, "In this case, two days later, this king will send a team of men and horses to escort two hundred carts of jade to Luo Kingdom, what does the eldest prince think." ”
"Emperor Chu's generous gift will be repaid in the future." The prince of Luo Guo bowed heavily.
Two hundred carts of jade are not valuable to the two countries, but Chu Yunxi's approach is tantamount to supporting him in public. With the support of Liuli Kingdom, it is only a matter of time before he ascends to the throne. He couldn't help but get excited at the thought of the supreme power that was about to come his way.
Chu Yunxi glanced at him and sneered.
It was very late in the evening when the dinner party ended.
Chu Xiuxiu secretly stuffed a box for Xia Fenglan, and said something in Xia Fenglan's ear.
Xia Fenglan's cheeks were crimson, and taking advantage of Chu Yunxi's absence, she put the small box in her sleeve.
"Feng Lan, what did Xiuxiu just say to you, your cheeks are so red?" After arranging the affairs in the palace, Chu Yunxi found that Xia Fenglan's face was flushed.
"No, nothing." Xia Fenglan shook her head.
Although Chu Yunxi was a little curious, Feng Lan didn't say it, and she wouldn't force her to ask.
"Today, how did you come up with the idea of sending two hundred carts of jade to Luo Kingdom?" She wanted to ask about this matter just now, but she hadn't told Feng Lan about her plan yet.
"I heard it yesterday when you were chatting with your second brother." Xia Fenglan said.
"Okay, Feng Lan." Chu Yunxi took Xia Fenglan into his arms and said, "It turns out that every time you say that you will pour tea for the two of us, you are actually hiding outside the door and eavesdropping." Feng Lan, if you want to hear it, just listen to it in the room, why hide. Or, Feng Lan, do you suspect that I have something else to look like, so I hid and wanted to find out? Feng Lan, I'm so sad, you actually doubt me. If you don't make it up to me tonight, I won't forgive you. ”
Although she knew that Chu Yunxi had always been not serious when she spoke, Xia Fenglan still felt that she couldn't cry or laugh when she heard it, patted the back of Chu Yunxi's hand, and said, "What are you talking about." Your business is so boring, I'm not interested. Rather than being drowsy among you, I'd rather learn more from the chef. When I arrived at the door yesterday, I felt that the atmosphere was very tense, so I didn't dare to come in right away. ”
"I didn't tell your second brother about my plans yesterday." Chu Yunxi touched his chin and said. The matter of using jade as an excuse was made by her when someone sent this jade into the palace last night.
"After following you for so long, can I still not understand you?" Xia Fenglan said, "Didn't the second brother say that if you want to justifiably lead the troops into the Luo country, you need an excuse to cover it up? When I saw the jade, I roughly guessed what you thought. The country of Liuli is strong, and there is no need to give some gifts to the surrounding small countries to win over relations. You gave away so much jade for nothing, there must be such an excuse. I thought that no matter what excuse you use to give it to Luo Guo, it may cause some intelligent people to speculate, if I speak. Everyone knows that you love me, so you won't think so deeply. ”
"Feng Lan." Chu Yunxi called Xia Fenglan affectionately, then lowered her head and kissed the soft lips deeply. If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Chu Yunxi's kiss had a hint of predation, Xia Fenglan closed her eyes, passively bearing her enthusiasm.

"Ning'er, there are so many people in the post house, it must be very messy, how inconvenient it is for you to live with a female dependent, why don't you go to my house." Chu Xiuxiu quickly followed Ning Qingcheng's footsteps and spoke.
"No matter how messy the restaurant is, I've lived in it, what is a post house." Ning Qingcheng didn't look back and said.
"Ning'er, I don't care about the past." Chu Xiuxiu grabbed Ning Qingcheng's shoulders, her eyes were full of sincerity, "But now, I like you and feel sorry for you, so I want to give you the best." ”
The pity in Chu Xiuxiu's eyes was too strong, from childhood to adulthood, she had never been taken so seriously by a person. For a while, Ning Qingcheng couldn't say any words to refute.
"Ning'er, after you go back to Qin, we won't see each other for a long time, I think, you can accompany me more." Chu Xiuxiu hugged Ning Qingcheng lightly, sighed lightly, and said.
Ning Qingcheng stiffened for a moment, and reached out to pat Chu Xiuxiu's shoulder.
Chu Xiuxiu was overjoyed, the method taught by Feng Lan's sister-in-law was really useful. first showed her most affectionate side, moved the other party, and then pretended to be pitiful in front of the other party, so that she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Thinking of the time when Feng Lan's sister-in-law taught her these things before, her face was flushed, Chu Xiuxiu was sure that her imperial sister must have been very good at using this trick to her sister-in-law.
"Qingcheng, okay?" Chu Xiuxiu's voice was weaker and lighter.
In the end, it is the person she likes, Chu Xiuxiu put on this posture, even if Ning Qingcheng wanted to hang her again, he was a little reluctant, so he could only nod slightly, which was considered to be an agreement.
"Ning'er, it's so good!" Chu Xiuxiu cheered, pulled Ning Qingcheng and ran to his carriage.
Looking at the hands of the two of them and feeling the breeze whistling by his cheeks, Ning Qingcheng felt a pleasure that he had never felt before. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but go up until he smiled widely.
Looking back, seeing such a smile, Chu Xiuxiu was stunned for a long time.
"Ning'er...... You're so pretty......" The red lips opened lightly, and only said this one sentence. No amount of gorgeous rhetoric can describe Ning'er's beauty when she laughs.
"Go back, it's cold."
"Well, back to our home."

The curling white smoke rose, and the white jade around it appeared more moist.
Chu Yunxi lay on the edge of the pool, enjoying Xia Fenglan's skillful kneading.
"Feng Lan's skills are getting better and better." Chu Yunxi squinted and said. After tossing and turning all day, she was already exhausted.
"I have nothing to do, and I learned from a few grandmothers in the palace." Xia Fenglan smiled and said, "But it's not as good as you." Sometimes she always feels that Chu Yunxi is so powerful that she doesn't look like an ordinary person, she can do anything, even massage, which is much better than her.
"That's nature." Chu Yunxi turned around and looked at Xia Fenglan, her eyes were deep, "If your hands don't have any skills, how can you make Fenglan want to die?" ”
Xia Fenglan's cheeks, which were slightly red from the heat, turned red all of a sudden.
"I, I'll go out first!" Xia Fenglan avoided Chu Yunxi's gaze and was about to leave. She shouldn't have talked to Chu Yunxi!
"Feng Lan, do you think I will let you go when you get here?" Chu Yunxi laughed and pulled Xia Fenglan into his arms, "Tonight is the day of our wedding, such a good day, how can you miss it." ”
The warm water in the bath gradually spread to all parts of her body, and the feeling she had never felt before eroded all of Xia Fenglan's senses.
The body that has been entered by the warm water is extremely hot.
As Chu Yunxi moved, more warm water entered his body, and the feeling of fullness became more and more intense.
Xia Fenglan clutched Chu Yunxi's shoulders tightly, bearing her attacks again and again.
"Hmm...... Don't ......" Thin tears slipped down the corners of Xia Fenglan's eyes.
"Feng Lan ......" kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Chu Yunxi's voice was extraordinarily gentle, "Say you like ......"
"I ...... Not ......"
Feng Lan ...... Say, you like ......"
"I ...... Loved ......"
