Chapter 205: It's on Fire (Spring Festival Leave, Updated on the 25th)
PS: On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I wish you all a happy family and happiness.
The story is suspended here, next chapter, next year, and I hope you are still around. Don't go away, it's going to be more exciting......
Just kidding! In this year, with you by your side, Erjin will be content. Don't you say it all? Companionship is the heaviest love in the world.
Stopped for a week, Erjin didn't dare to ask for a ticket, just wanted to say: Cover the monthly pass in your pocket and wait for me to come back? Ha ha!
The girls have seen the title, right? I'm sorry! Erjin originally wanted not to ask for leave, but as a result, there were a bunch of people at home, the elderly, children, noisy, and there was no way to code the words well. In addition, the publishing house has been urging the publication of the second part of Erjin Medical Concubine a few years ago, but in order to ensure the update of the online version, the revision progress of my published manuscript is very slow. After thinking about it again, I decided to take a week off during the Spring Festival to accompany my family, revise the draft, and resume the update on the 25th!
------Off topic------
"Cheng, come on, kill the ......"
But now, even if she is embarrassed, but except for a mouth, there is no sharp weapon, what can she do? Gritting her teeth fiercely, she took advantage of his speech to suddenly open her mouth and bite him the shoulder. Yuan Yu snorted in pain, and his body sank down.
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao's breathing was as tight as if it were tight, and her body kept trembling.
"I, I'll kill you!"
Yuan You also smiled, and reached out to smooth the wet hair on her face, he saw that her eyes were red with anger, and the interest in teasing was even stronger, knowing that she was nervous and shy, he also deliberately pasted it and kissed her face. Seeing that her hatred was biased, he also tilted his head, and a smile fell on her ear, half-jokingly and half-seriously teasing, "Do you know that the master likes your little temperament." The so-called big husband should be brave, drink the most beautiful wine, and the strongest person, that's it. β
One sentence and another, she growled lowly.
"I'm going to kill you."
"I'm going to kill you! If you dare to treat me like this, I will, I will kill you! β
"Yuanyu, I'm going to kill you."
When she was in Mobei, she practiced some kung fu, and she was quite powerful among the girls, but she didn't have arrows and crossbows in her hands, and her few moves were really not enough in front of Yuan You, and she was pressed by him again in just a few rounds, except for gasping for air urgently, she couldn't move for half a minute.
Wuren Xiaoxiao gasped for breath, struggling in embarrassment, but still couldn't escape his humiliation, staring at the rippling water waves in a circle, her eyes were fierce for a while, and she hit him with a punch in the narrow space of the bucket.
His Danfeng eyes were half-closed and half-closed, with a look of "don't do it, don't stop it", one hand clamped her tightly, and the other hand lifted up, and half-supported her body that she wanted to hide under the water on the wall of the bucket.
"Kill me?" Wonyu smiled lowly, grabbed her chin, and forcibly lifted her face to face him. Glancing at her quietly, he suddenly lowered his head and leaned close to her lips, "Master sees that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then it's no wonder that I can't blame me." Okay, the boats have arrived at the dock, if the master is not used by you, wouldn't he be blind to the talent of the wind and the moon for several years, and make people laugh in vain? β
Her eyes were red, "Yuanyu, one day, I will kill you." β
"Look at how strong you are today!"
Seeing his smiling appearance, Wu Ren Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her hair was soaked, she shrunk her body, and she looked extremely embarrassed, but the person who pressed on her did not pity her, and was extremely ruthless, as if he didn't treat her as a girl at all.
"Little wild cat, with a strong temperament, huh?"
Seeing the water sinking, Wuren Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she lost her face, threw away his hand, and wanted to shrink to the bottom of the water, but was lifted up by Yuan You and reflexively pressed against the wall of the barrel.
Wuren Xiaoxiao held her breath, her face flushed, but she couldn't bear the humiliation, and struggled to fight him in the water. The two of them tossed like this, and the water splashed out in bursts. Soon, there was less and less water in the bucket, and the water level was getting lower and lower......
"Throw yourself in a hug? Wouldn't it be too rushed? β
Looking down, he smiled wickedly.
There was a sound of water, he turned against the guest, tore off the towel from her hand, strangled her directly on the back of her neck, brought her forward, stretched out his arms, and took her into his arms.
This little girl underestimates him too much.
Wonyu coughed and grabbed her wrist quickly.
"Ahem!"
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and pulled back hard, in order to borrow strength, even regardless of the lack of an inch on her body, her knees were directly pressed on his body.
"You die, die."
In the next moment, the towel that rubbed him in the bath strangled his neck.
He was thinking about it in a mess when water poured down his head.
But she is a princess, if she has to marry her, otherwise, how can she rub her back for him for the rest of her life? Marry her, it's also a good idea. But he didn't know that this princess of Beidi hated him to death, how could she marry him obediently? Forget it, for the sake of Tianlu, even if you use a little improper means, it will only be regarded as eliminating harm for the people......
"Comfortable ......" Yuan You sighed, half-closed his eyes, with an indescribable pleasant light on the corners of his lips, and suddenly felt that it would be a good choice if she was to rub her back for a lifetime?
She was a little more obedient.
"Heavier."
Yuan Yu tilted his head and smiled at the shadow reflected in the candlestick.
She dipped her towel in water and rubbed it slowly on his back.
Can't shout, can't scream, can't fight, can't kill, she hates him so much, can't wait for him to die, hates so much that she can't care about anything else. With a pang in her heart, she half-squinted, quietly took the towel in the bucket for rubbing the bath, and moved it half-squinted.
After avoiding him these days, she still fell into his hands.
Looking at his back, she wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from it.
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao's throat was fishy sweet, and her blood surged.
Stunned for a moment, he looked at her angry face, smiled suddenly, leaned sideways on the edge of the bathtub, turned his back to her, and said slowly, "Master, I don't want to do anything either." Let's help me rub my back first, right? β
He never thought about it.
How, exactly? In fact, these days are pestering, and Yuan Yu himself doesn't understand what he wants her to do. For now, he just doesn't want Wuren Xiaoxiao to marry Zhao Zhu. However, what if she doesn't marry Zhao Zhu?
"And what do you want me to do?"
"No!"
Bowing her head slightly, she looked at the petals floating on the water, "The matter has come to this, how can I ruin the marriage?" Yuanyou, if you do well, don't force me, can you succeed? β
A blasphemous word "play" made Wuren Xiaoxiao's face white.
When she finished speaking, he grabbed her arm sharply and brought it to himself, lowering his voice, "That's a beautiful thing to say." Your family affairs are naturally not about the master, but little wild cat, think about it, how can I watch the person I played with marry him as a concubine? β
The smile on the corner of Motosuke's lips widened.
"But I am fortunate to have you, if you had not humiliated me as much, how could I have decided to do so? How can I be promised by the emperor to the king of Jin? I am very satisfied with this family affair, and I have sent a letter to Hala and Lin a few days ago to inform my father of it. My father will be happy for me, and my whole people will be happy for me, for I am about to marry the best man in the world...... But none of this has anything to do with you, get out! β
After a moment's pause, she smiled again.
"You forced me...... If you hadn't humiliated me like that, I wouldn't have ......" Speaking of this, Wu Ren Xiaoxiao wanted to bite off her tongue. It didn't matter why she explained to him what he thought of her. He's her enemy, her enemy, and the bastard she wants to die.
Wuren Xiaoxiao was stunned, and his body almost collapsed on the barrel.
But the "alienation" in his mouth is just his own imagination, or he has a ghost in his heart, so he feels that Zhao Zhu must also have a ghost. In fact, Zhao didn't necessarily know what he was doing.
In the end, Yuan Yu almost gritted his teeth.
"Really?" Yuan You didn't laugh angrily, "If you don't want to insist on marrying, who can force you?" Last time in the Lin De Palace, if it weren't for you and the Queen Mother, Tianlu would not have made such a promise to help you, it was all you...... As a result, my friendship with him for more than ten years has become estranged. β
"I didn't pester him, it's not up to me to call the shots."
"If you don't pester, I'll let me go."
"Why do you have to pester me?"
Pity her to the extreme, but there is nothing on each other, she didn't dare to push him, only stared for a moment, and finally relented.
Inside the barrel, with the heavy heat rising in the curl, he came very close to his face, and the abominable breath seemed to spray on her face, and she could not breathe, almost out of breath. But no matter how she glared at him, he still looked at him with his lips curled and smiling.
Wuren Xiaoxiao breathed tightly and clenched her teeth.
"Little wild cat, why don't you give it a try?"
Yuan Yu looked at her with a grin and leaned a little closer.
"Not necessarily. What if you were already one of my people? β
Wuren Xiaoxiao sneered, "My father won't, my Beidi people are not as pedantic as you Nanyan." β
Yuan You said "hey", his handsome facial features slowly approached her, and he said slowly, "You are really right, you think that the fish is dead and the net is broken, for me, the big deal is just a reprimand, and the emperor has to promise you to me in the end." And your father, I'm afraid that I have to do this? β
For a moment, she smiled again. looked at him without blinking, with a creepy smile, "Yuanyu, you are just bullying me, you are just bullying me." Don't think that I really can't do anything with you, if you really provoke me, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, I am the princess of Beidi, you insult me like this, I don't believe that the emperor of Dayan really doesn't care......"
Wuren Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and there was a trace of helplessness in her eyes.
"Shame?" Yuan You smiled playfully, his eyes cold, "After decades of war, how many innocent people of my Nanyan have died under the butcher's knife of your Beidi Tartar?" Do you feel ashamed? β
She smiled and asked with red eyes, "According to the little grandfather, what kind of person should this princess find to love me?" You know that the sons and daughters of good people will not look down on a girl who is not clean, and you have repeatedly harmed me, don't you feel ashamed? β
In such a ridiculous place, in the same bathtub, two unrelated people discussing marriage naked, is it ridiculous that this bastard doesn't know what he said?
It was a mocking laugh of anger to the extreme.
Taking a light breath, Wuren smiled.
"Fire pits?"
"You're such a good girl, isn't it good to find someone who loves you? Why bother pushing yourself into the fire pit? β
Yuan Yu's complexion changed slightly, and his handsome face kept changing. After a while, he let out another chuckle, sweeping disdainfully into her angry face.
Wuren Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, stared at him fiercely, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and laughed at herself, "What does that have to do with you?" It's my business. Even if he doesn't like me, I like him, and I've liked him all my life. β
"What do you say?" Yuan You smiled lazily, the strange foot stretched out to her again, sliding around like a loach, and his voice was even more scornful, "You are less Huo Huo Tianlu, just your ......" looked Wuren Xiaoxiao up and down, his eyes were full of ridicule, "Just like you, you really don't deserve him." I said you, don't you have a little self-knowledge? Besides, do you think that if you marry you, Tianlu will take a fancy to you? β
"Why do you care about me? Who are you of this princess? β
The thought of being bullied by him for this matter made her eyes red.
The old thing was brought up again, which made Wuren Xiaoxiao annoyed.
Yuan Youyun's eyes swept over her face, and said with a smile, "There is only one sentence, no matter who you want to marry, even if you marry a pig and a dog, I won't care, you are not allowed to marry Tianlu." β
"What are you going to tell me? Let's get out of here. β
Through a layer of water waves, he kept smiling at her, touching her body with one foot intentionally or unintentionally, teasing her up and down. She was ashamed and annoyed, but there was no way to retreat, and there was no other way but to shrink back as much as possible.
These days, Wonyou has come to her countless times. But every time, he was rejected by Wu Ren Xiaoxiao. She didn't want to see him, she was afraid to see him, she didn't want to hear a word from him. But how could she have thought that she would be stunned and forced this shameless person to get into her clean room, and even into her bathtub?
She went from panic to relief, and fell into Yuan Yu's eyes, causing him to laugh lowly, "What are you going to do?" The master's words are not finished yet? Princess Wuren, don't blame the master for not being able to use his methods, if you don't force you like this, how can you talk to me? β
"I've opened my eyes, and now you can go?"
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no embarrassment as she imagined, he was also soaked in a bucket, and there was a layer of rose petals on the water, which could completely block her sight and prevent her from seeing an embarrassing scene.
His heart shook violently, Wu Ren Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth, and finally opened his eyes.
"Three, two, one, open your eyes."
Seeing that her cheeks were crimson, Yuan You squinted his eyes and smiled deeply.
ββ¦β¦ You, you bastard! Wu Renxiao's eyelashes trembled with anger, and she wanted to cry without tears for a while, and she wanted to dismantle him. However, in such an embarrassing situation, in order not to have skin contact with him, she didn't even dare to move her hands and feet, where could she kill him?
"If you don't open your eyes, the master will enter you."
"You scoundrel! If you don't go out again, I'll call someone. Wuren Xiaoxiao lowered his voice, that is, he did not dare to come out of the barrel directly, and he did not dare to move, so he shrank in the corner of the tub, and did not dare to open his eyes at all, until he chuckled and moved over and pulled away her face-covering hand.
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao covered her eyes nervously, not daring to look at him, and when she spit out word by word, she almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth. But Yuanyou stretched his body in the bucket carelessly, swept his eyes, and said badly: "Where are you going?" The tub is so spacious that it is big enough for both of us. Why should the princess be so stingy? β
"Get out!"
"Mandarin ducks playing in the water, Luan Feng wearing flowers, the fruit is fast!"
He didn't do anything, he really just bathed, nothing more than bathed with her. This guy was really a man who didn't know how to be ashamed, and he didn't care that she was still a big girl, he faded his body, and when he saw her covering her eyes, he smiled and stepped over the barrel, and sat down opposite her.
Soon, Yuan Yu answered her question with practical actions.
"You...... Get lost! Wuren Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, "What are you going to do?" β
"Master is naturally here to bathe."
After a moment's pause, in her angry gaze, he suddenly got up, pulled the jade belt around his waist little by little, untied his robe, threw it on the screen shelf, and put it directly on Wuren Xiaoxiao's clothes, laughing lightly.
Yuan Yu glanced at her obliquely, but did not answer.
He said it as he should, Wuren Xiaoxiao's body softened for a while, her heart was pounding, and she felt a splitting headache, "Little Master Yuan, what do you want, what do you want to let me go?" β
When she bathed, Anari was always by her side, and she had been sitting outside the screen, but now there was no movement, which made her very alarmed. But Yuanyou just smiled, looked at her evilly and said, "This kind of style, the little girl shouldn't look at it more, the little master just let her sleep." β
Stunned for a moment, Wuren Xiaoxiao snorted "phew", scolded "shameless", lowered his face, and glared at him again, "What about Anari?" What have you done to my Anaday? β
"Before you entered the house, the master was already waiting here."
Wu Renxiao stepped back and glanced in the direction of the door, as if he didn't believe it. He didn't care, but looked at her leisurely, pulled over a round stool on high legs, sat down on the edge of the barrel, and looked at her and smiled with his elbows on the edge of the barrel with interest.
"The master walked in. I miss you, how can I be willing to get out? β
Yuan You pursed his eyebrows, lowered his head and smiled at her, the smile was hidden in the mist, as if it had been hit by a thousand layers of smoke and water, but it was still infinitely amorous.
"How did you get in? Don't get out of here! β
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao's throat choked, and her face, which was red from hot water, suddenly receded half of her blood. She shrunk to the bottom of the water, leaving only her head exposed, her eyes glaring at the squirming man in front of her.
"Shhhhhh β
"You ......"
She finished slowly, but the hot water was still scooping in, and Anazh didn't hear her as if he hadn't heard her. She pursed her lips, opened her eyes slowly, and was about to speak, but her eyes met a pair of Danfeng eyes that seemed to be smiling, and she was so frightened that she snorted.
"Don't add water yet, wait for the water to be cooler, I'll call you."
After a few moments, she suddenly noticed that someone was scooping hot water into the barrel. Before taking a bath, Anari took boiling water and put it on the side to prepare, and after soaking for a while, the water was cooler, so it was more comfortable to add boiling water. So, she didn't open her eyes, she just thought that Anari was waiting for her, and she didn't care.
The hourglass slid slightly, and the sky outside seemed to be darker.
She shuddered and closed her eyes.
It's so comfortable!
Dipping herself in the water, she sighed.
The painting hall where the princess of Beidi Wuren Xiaoxiao lives is on the left side of the courtyard, although there is a dripping rain outside, the house is quiet, behind the half-hidden screen of the clean room, the fragrant mist is bursting, and Wuren Xiaoxiao is stepping into the hot and floating bath of flower petals.
At this time, the drizzle was drizzling, and the yard was enveloped in a layer of night.
The banquet courtyard at the back of the building is the residence of the envoy of Beidi.
Retranslation Building.

"Let's wait until you give birth to a girl......"
Dongfang Qingxuan finally lost to her, sighed long, and smiled coquettishly.
"You should honor your mother-in-law earlier, what do you mean?"
Xia Chuqi smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't you just want silver? So many claims. β
She said a string of words straightforwardly, and smiled happily, but Dongfang Qingxuan didn't say a word, looked at her for a long time, and finally spread out her tight breath and spit out a mouthful of turbidity.
"Isn't that right? People like me bloom every 1,000 years, bear fruit every 1,000 years, and give birth to one every 1,000 years...... If you can't find it, then my girl is even more extraordinary. Lord Dongfang, I am willing to marry the girl to you, that is the blessing you cultivated in your previous life, are you willing to pay for your blessing? β
"Chu Qi, a brain like yours is really not an ordinary person."
As soon as a question came out, her head was slapped heavily by Dongfang Qingxuan, and she screamed in pain, she came back to her senses from her prostitution, looked up at him, and saw a smile on his lips, and she didn't know if she was not angry, or she was already angry.
There was the sound of his forbearance grinding his teeth overhead, but Xia Chuqi didn't care, and nodded heavily, "Yes, how about it?" Makes a lot of money, right? β
"Then aren't you the mother-in-law of this seat?"
"Are you overjoyed?" Xia Chuqi stretched his waist, as if he didn't see that people were looking at him with a kind of neurotic eyes, his eyebrows were raised high, and he was very proud of his powerful brain. Especially thinking about his daughter's teenage years, the age of shallots, and Dongfang Qingxuan was the charming uncle that later generations of women said, the most sexy and attractive age for a man, and his eyes were shining.
There is really no one else who can say such things except her.
Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes were heavy, and he felt that he was going crazy.
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Chuqi smiled and bent his eyes, like a happy cat, "Ben Gongzi thought about it, a handsome stunner in the world like you, after this village, there is no such shop, and it really can't be cheap for outsiders." Now that I am a mother, I have to think about my girl's life. Governor, why don't I marry my girl to you? β
"Huh?" Dongfang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows.
"Zhao Shijiu said, I can give birth to a girl in my belly. Although you can't charm me, you can charm my girl in advance? β
"Wrong, of course it works." Xia Chuqi suddenly lowered the curtain, mysteriously leaned over, stared at him with bright eyes for a moment, and then stroked his lower abdomen, his face flashed with maternal love.
"Even you can't be fascinated, so what's the use? That's it. β
Dongfang Qingxuan pretended to be uncomfortable and sighed softly, as if he was not interested.
Xia Chuqi still had a cold face and joked with him, "Because I'm a mother, it's unusual." β
"Huh?" With a sound, Dongfang Qingxuan seemed to smile, "How are you unusual?" β
"Can't charm me, I'm not an ordinary woman......"
Xia Chuqi raised his eyebrows and told him very bluntly.
Dongfang Qingxuan smiled at her eyebrows, knowing that she was happy when she left the mansion, and smiled lightly: "Can I charm you?" β
"As long as you have a beard, you can charm all women, so that when they see you, they will think that they do not belong and will not forget, how about it?"
Knowing that he didn't understand much of these words, Xia Chuqi didn't explain it, just grinned, revealing eight snow-white teeth, which was not at all as subtle as the toothless smile of people nowadays.
The corners of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips curled slightly, "Male charm? β
She touched her mustache, looked at him obliquely, and said solemnly: "In order to increase your masculine charm, why don't you also put on a mustache?" β
Seeing that he was smiling happily, Xia Chuqi had a straight face and didn't smile at all.
But as Xia Chuqi finished his lazy string of words, he seemed to be trying his best to hold back, and he burst out laughing with a "poof", and laughed.
Dongfang Qingxuan has always loved to laugh, but he never laughs.
"If it weren't for these two mustaches, I wouldn't dare to guarantee the ticket, but now...... Like me, I have the sexiness and masculinity of a man, feminine and charming, dignified and chic but not obscene, handsome and extraordinary but not coquettish, and the perfect integration of yin and yang and no conflict in the world. Defeat you, it's no problem. β
Knowing that he disliked that he was not as good-looking as him, Xia Chuqi was not annoyed, touched the two mustaches on his lips with self-care, and smiled unashamedly.
Dongfang Qing Xuanfeng's eyes narrowed, and he looked her up and down, "Do you think there is such a possibility?" β
Xia Chuqi smiled and asked, "What are you worried about?" Worried that the beauty has taken a fancy to me and not you? β
Dongfang Qingxuan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he squinted at him, "Nonsense." Is there any place in the world that I haven't visited? I'm just worried about you. β
"Almost, the government-run kiln just has a nice name." Seeing that Dongfang Qingxuan was awkward, she turned her head with interest and stared at him, "Hey, don't you tell me that the dignified Jinyi Wei Dongfang Metropolitan Governor has never visited the kiln?" This Qin Huai Fengyue is a must, you haven't seen so many beauties in the Jiaofang Division, are you still a man? β
Xia Chuqi looked at him with a smile, and the two mustaches above his lips shook from time to time, looking extremely funny.
Dongfang Qingxuan's lips twitched, "The retranslation building is not a kiln, it is the ...... that receives the envoys."
"Retranslation Building." Xia Chuqi replied as a matter of course.
"Which kiln?"
"Hmm", Rao is a person like Dongfang Qingxuan, who is so moody and invisible, also choked so hard that he was almost speechless. His eyes refocused on her face, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw him wearing men's clothes, with a pair of mustaches, and still the face of his delicate daughter.
"Go to the kiln." Xia Chuqi replied jokingly.
"Where do you want to go?" Dongfang Qingxuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, I don't like to hear him." Xia Chuqi smiled leisurely, "The point is that I can go out of the house like this and go shopping." You don't know how aggrieved I have been in the past few months. If I don't come out again, I'll suffocate to death. β
"Why don't you ask, how did I tell Zhao Mianze?"
His gaze slowly slid from the side of her face to her slender chin, into her white neck, all the way to the neckline of her coat, and finally slowly retracted it.
She was the landscape in his eyes.
She has been looking at the scenery outside the curtain, but Dongfang Qingxuan is looking at her.
Sure enough, I came out for a walk, and it was a lot more relaxed.
The sound of the car turning, under the dim line of fire, Dongfang Qingxuan's handsome face is half bright and half dark, still a single branch, the dark fragrance floats, Xia Chuqi took a breath, and his heart couldn't help but be far away and leisurely.
In the smoke and rain, the water is light and cold, and the lights are shining. The bustling Jingshi bathed in it, quiet and hazy like a young girl with a spring. At night, looking at the rain and fog in the distance, the light smoke is ethereal, the people on the street are scattered, and the occasional passing carriage and horse see the banners of the Jinyi Guard.
The bluestone streets were soaked in the rain.
Xia Chuqi knew that Meizi had a big mouth, so he didn't take her with him, and only took Qinglan and Zheng Erbao to accompany him. She didn't see Jia Yi, where there was Dongfang Qingxuan, there was generally no him. But she didn't have to think about it, and she knew that he would definitely follow him secretly.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Chuci Courtyard, and she walked behind Dongfang Qingxuan, glanced at the heavily guarded guards outside and turned her gaze. Dongfang Qingxuan did have the oracle in hand, Ah Ji, Lu Hui and the others only glanced at her, and followed not far behind.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the courtyard.
"Young Master Xia, please!"
"Dongfang Childe, please?"
Xia Chuqi waved his hand at him, and then took a picture of the bronze mirror, confirming that this kind of dress would not arouse suspicion, and then took out a folding fan handed over by the wind, sprinkled it, and glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan with a wrinkled eyebrow.
"No, no. I'm just used to it. β
Dongfang Qingxuan's lips twitched, "You don't believe I can protect you?" β
Xia Chuqi patted the bottles and cans on his waist and smiled, "You don't understand, breaking into the rivers and lakes is the most prone to firefights, I always have the ability to protect myself, right?" β
"What are you doing with all this stuff?"
Seeing her waist bulge again, Dongfang Qingxuan squinted.
One, two, three......
She smiled and stuffed something into her arms.
Sure enough, it's all about clothes.
She entered the inner hall with a smile, and Qinglan helped her change into a Taoist robe, carefully pasted the mustache above the corner of her lips, and walked out with a swagger, and sure enough, she became a beautiful boy with two mustaches, and her waist was hidden in the Taoist robe, which was completely inconspicuous and not very noticeable.
In addition to the Taoist robe, Dongfang Qingxuan also thoughtfully prepared a pair of mustaches for her.
This is a men's robe with a large collar and large sleeves, which is not only the right length, but also extremely loose. Moreover, there are horizontal folds under the robe and vertical folds at the lower abdomen, which can properly conceal her slightly bulging abdomen, which is simply a disguise artifact.
Xia Chuqi gestured in front of him, carrying his clothes, and holding up his tune, which sounded like a joke, but the meaning of the words was not a joke. If it was convenient to go out in men's clothes, but there were no men's clothes in Chuci Courtyard, she never thought that Dongfang Qingxuan was ready for her.
"Governor, you are really my confidant!"
Rufeng did not call the "queen mother" as yin and yang as Dongfang Qingxuan, Xia Chuqi was stunned, glanced at him gratefully, took the clothes, just looked at it, and was even more excited.
"Miss Seven, the Metropolitan Governor has prepared it for you."
At this time, Rufeng came over and handed her a set of clothes.
Just follow it, where is it not to follow?
It won't stop her freedom, but it will just send Ah Ji and Lu Hui to follow them all the way. Why didn't Xia Chuqi know Zhao Mianze's thoughts? But at this time, she didn't mind much.
"Your Majesty said that it will not prevent you from being free."
But Dongfang Qingxuan touched her nose, but she was slightly embarrassed by the word "cute" in her mouth, turned her body slightly, and waved her low-hanging left sleeve.
Xia Chuqi smiled at him excitedly, using words of goodwill indiscriminately.
"Duke, you're so cute."
Today is the tenth day of the fifth month of the twenty-seventh year of Hong Tai, and her little nineteen is about four and a half months. But first the Chuci Palace, and then the Chuci Academy, since she returned to Jingshi, she was almost locked in the house all day, and the depression in her heart can be imagined. Now, for the sake of Xiao Nineteen's physical and mental health, it is a great thing to go out to play while her stomach can still be covered.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Xia Chuqi hesitated, but finally became happy again, and the haze hovering in his heart was also removed in an instant. Zhao Zhu couldn't come to see her, because he had his own troubles, but it was good to be able to go out of the house with Dongfang Qingxuan for a day and breathe the air outside.
The smile on Dongfang Qingxuan's lips expanded, "That's natural, I used to take you with me in the past, and he won't say anything." Besides, does he expect me to convince you, that you will remember the affection you used to have for him because of my presence? β
Xia Chuqi was surprised, "Zhao Mianze actually agreed?" β
Dongfang Qingxuan chuckled and slowly approached: "Don't be too grateful." I know that you are bored, and after dispersing today, I specially ask Your Majesty for a decree to take you out of the house for a day. β
"Ah", Xia Chuqi was slightly surprised.
"Although he can't come, the minister can lead the mother out of the house."
"I don't say anything-" Dongfang Qingxuan dragged his voice, his phoenix eyes smiled, and he was dressed in a fiery red robe, like a phoenix spreading its wings in the fire, extremely bewitching. After that, seeing the joy on her face, the previous excitement suddenly dissipated, and she couldn't help but smile.
"How? What did he say? β
"Poof", Xia Chuqi handed a look to the reluctant Zheng Erbao, and when he grunted out of the house and closed the door, a smile of excitement appeared on her face.
"Please Lady Ann!"
As soon as she asked Qinglan to make tea, a long red figure was welcomed into the house by Zheng Erbao. Zheng Erbao kept looking at him with unfriendly eyes, but he didn't seem to realize it at all, and slowly brushed the sleeves of his fiery red robe and saluted Xia Chuqi.
"Please!"
Xia Chuqi turned his head and looked at her bright eyes, and his heart also lit up.
Meizi ran in, and the chubby face was full of joy.
"Seventh Miss, the Metropolitan Governor is here."
If she continues to be depressed like this, she will definitely get moldy.
Holding her cheeks, she sighed.
Today's rain has been falling for a long time, and it has not stopped, and the breeze blows the rain foam into the curtain of Chuci Courtyard, and pounces on Xia Chuqi's face, which is cool and silky, which makes her impetuous mood calm down a lot.
At the door, a luxurious carriage passed through the drizzle, entered through the main entrance of the mansion, and headed directly for the Chutz Courtyard.
The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Which wind is blowing the wrong wind today?
But Zhao Zhu never went.
Yan Ergui was startled. The Retranslation Building, unlike other places, is the place where the liquor belongs to the official camp of the Ministry of Rites, and it is specially built to receive foreign envoys. The Kabuki priest in the building not only plays singing and dancing, but also has official prostitutes with public identities for the enjoyment of envoys, which is the largest and highest grade gentle township in the Dayan Dynasty. The officials of Dayan often took advantage of the banquet to invite the envoys to reinterpret the drunken dreams and deaths in the translation building, which were all open secrets.
Zhao Jun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Retranslation Building." β
"Where are you going?" Yan Ergui looked up in confusion.
"You're suspicious. Now that you have come, you have come. You used to be my person, just remembering the old master. Zhao Zhu's dark eyes were deep, and his upright figure was immersed in the dissolving lamplight, looking sideways slightly, he looked at the drizzle that was still dripping under the eaves, and said suddenly: "Go out with me." β
"Your Highness?"
"How can a slap be enough?"
Zhao Zhu looked at him like this, and his tone was cold.
Before his words fell, he only heard a "snap", and he actually slapped himself in the face, "So there is a saying, and the subordinates only say that they don't agree with His Highness......"
"Subordinates have a way to ......"
Yan Er Ghost was originally a scout, so he knew the joints, and he knew better that his side was likely to bury Zhao Mianze's eyeliner. Hearing Zhao Bottle's sigh, he became more and more responsible for his recklessness.
"Life is like chess, if you follow the path chosen by the enemy every step of the way, when will you be able to get out of the predicament? Second ghost, if you come today, you must have fallen into the eyes of Zhao Mianze's people...... I think your 3,000 battalion is the main force of the Beijing army, how can he not guard against it? β
Don't say that the two ghosts miss Ziyue and Yaya, why shouldn't he himself? But since he returned to Beijing, he has not asked Zhao Mianze to see Concubine Gong and Ziyue once.
How could Zhao Bottle not know what he was thinking?
"Get up! What is it like to kneel all the time? β
Yan Ergui sighed wistfully, and lowered his eyebrows, "My subordinates know that they are wrong." β
"Your Highness......"
Glancing at him, Zhao Zhu's eyebrows tightened, waved his hand, and didn't say much, but every move seemed to be innately noble, but it was still not angry and powerful.
If you don't do it, you don't do it, and once you have drawn the sword of murder, you will do it.
Since ancient times, the king has been defeated, and the spear and the horse have been pounced, and the corpse must be in a different place. He has been fighting horses for half his life, and he has been mentally prepared for a long time, and it is not a pity to die, but how can he let his wife and children suffer?
But how can such an earth-shattering thing be child's play?
Why didn't he want to enter the imperial city and leave with his wife and children?
"Can't stand it......" Zhao Zhu's dark eyes sank, and his eyes fell on the lock on his left wrist, and he sighed silently for a long time, "I have to stay up." β
"Your Highness......" Yan Ergui knelt on one knee on the ground, his head hanging heavily, "I'm just too worried, and I'm too worried...... I couldn't stand it anymore. I can't wait to go into the imperial city and take her mother and daughter away. I can't do anything because I think I'm a dignified man...... I can't stand it. β
"Out of breath!" Zhao Jun threw the tea cup in his hand on the case, the solemn air at the bottom of his eyes floated faintly, and his voice was extremely cold, "There must be forbearance, it is helpful, can you understand this?" You can't hold your breath like this, how can you be a big deal? How to keep Ziyue and the child's coming? β
Yan Ergui lowered his head even more fiercely, almost daring to raise his eyes to look at his cold face, "Your Highness, these days, my subordinates have asked ...... It is said that Princess Ziyue has not appeared in front of people for a long time, and Yaya is also ...... I'm not sure. I want to drink blood for half my life, and I am not afraid of death or life. But why are they innocent? I can't stand it like this. If you delay one more day, you will be terrified for a day......"
Zhao Jun stared at him, "Then why did you come here again today?" β
Yan Ergui bowed his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Knowing that His Highness is alive, his subordinates originally wanted to come to visit, but Chen Jing made a special trip to order not to act rashly, so he never came......"
"Why did you come here?"
After entering Beijing, this was the first time he met Zhao Zhu. Thinking of these months of separation, my voice inevitably choked. But after accepting his worship, Zhao Zhu's dark eyes narrowed shallowly, but his eyebrows and eyes were extremely quiet.
"Your Highness! The genus is late. β
Yan Ergui was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in his robe.
At nightfall, Yan Ergui, who had been the commander of the 3,000 battalions of soldiers and horses, came to the Jin Palace. The people in the study were all sent away, and Zhao Zhu sent Bingyi to guard the door, and the two faced each other, but he only looked at Yan Ergui and kept silent.
Sitting in the study, nothing to do all afternoon.
The servants and girls of the Jin Palace's previous palace were almost all sent away because of Zhao Zhu's "death". Now that he has returned, the emperor has given some, but these people, Tian Fu has an extra mind, and he doesn't dare to use it easily, so now Zhao Zhu is beside him.
Tian Fu followed up carelessly, wanting to wipe his head for him, but he refused.
Dodging a thunderstorm and returning to the Jin King's mansion, Zhao Bottle did not stay in the front hall, and directly led Bingyi to Chengde Courtyard.

"I can't help!" Chen Daniu sighed, and said with a dark face: "My backyard is on fire, and the old lady is furiousββ"
"Can I help?" Zhao Zhu's eyes dimmed slightly.
"Your Highness, there is an urgent matter in my house, I have to go back first."
"What?" Chen Da Niu stood up suddenly, looked at him with tiger eyes, gasped, and his face was almost black. After a pause, he waved his hand to ask Zhou Shun to step back, and then said to Zhao Zhu.
But after the rain fell for a while, Zhou Shun entered with an umbrella and hurriedly walked over. He glanced at Zhao Zhu, lowered his head, and whispered two words in Chen Daniu's ear.
The smoke and rain were drenched, and the two couldn't help but have a drink by the window, and the two couldn't help but become more and more interested.
After a while, a "boom" thunder fell, and the sky lit up, and the lightning frantically tore through the cloudy sky. In the summer, the weather changes as it goes, and soon, the rain falls down the eaves.
Between the two of them, the dark clouds outside the corridor are getting thicker and thicker.
Zhao Jun glanced at him and smiled disappreliantly.
"No, I'll find him and let him help me solve it!"
Chen Daniu thought about it and snorted heavily.
Both of them know that Yuan You is used to being chic and prodigal in his life, and he hates being restrained by others the most, especially if he doesn't want to marry, as long as he mentions family affairs, he will hide as far as he goes, the old emperor can't take him, and Zhao Mianze will probably not be able to do anything about him for a while.
Zhao Jun smiled, "Aren't you afraid that he will settle accounts with you?" β
"I regret it, I was in the palace before, I should have asked for such a request, let Your Majesty allow Princess Wenjia to Yuan You, anyway, there are many women in his house, and he is not worse than one or two, he can also afford to raise it, why bother me to be so uncomfortable?"
He took another sip of wine, and it was a serious matter.
Zhao Jun was silent, looking at him strangely.
"Well, he is also in his twenties, and the emperor should give him a wife. In my opinion, Princess Wenjia is very good with him. β
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about him, you may not know his temperament? is so idle, it is indispensable to attract cats and dogs. After a pause, Chen Daniu seemed to think of something, his voice suddenly sank, and he sighed.
Seeing this, Chen Daniu snorted, but continued.
This thing is extremely unusual, not like Yuan Yu's style. But after thinking about it, he guessed that maybe Yuan Yu also knew that his current identity was sensitive, and it was normal to have less contact with him. Without saying more, he flew with his sleeves and drank a bowl of sweet Qingzhou wine.
Since the night of the state banquet, Zhao Zhu has not seen him.
"No need, tell the truth."
Zhao Zhu was silent and waved his hand.
Hearing him ask, Chen Daniu was stunned, "I haven't seen him go to court for a few days, and I don't know what this kid is doing?" Do you want me to send someone to the Chengguo Mansion to ask him to come? β
"These days, can you see Yuanyu?"
"Huh?" Chen Daniu's face was flushed.
"Big bull......" he frowned.
"Have a bull rhino in your heart? Why don't you say rhinoceros? The corners of Zhao Zhu's mouth twitched, and seeing him with a burst of silly music, he shook his head helplessly, looking at the soldiers who were transporting earthwork outside the window, and his black eyes seemed to have a ghostly glow.
Speaking of this, Chen Daniu sighed. Although Zhao Zhu had the arrangement first, he never thought that Chu Qida's idea was the same as Zhao Zhu's, he went back to the Wei Mansion first, and also explained Zhao Mianze. In this way, it saves Zhao Zhu's business. These two are simply full of tacit understanding.
"Your Highness, you and Chu Qi have a little bit of a good understanding."
The world is big, the world is wide, it is easy to meet three or two friends, but it is not easy to meet a person who is wholeheartedly trying not to repay you for helping you. This jar of wine, Zhao Bottle is very open, bowl after bowl, but his face is not red and his heart is not beating. But Chen Daniu doesn't drink often, and slowly he gets a little bigger.
He didn't know the future, and he didn't know that the person in front of him would one day become the Ninety-Five Supreme, but he was open-minded, just because of a "brother", he was willing to put down fame and fortune, followed him with an iron heart, and in the bloody battlefield of the future soldiers, he was fierce, stepped through the horse's hooves, and made a famous minister from the Han clan through the ages.
"Come, Your Highness, whole!"
Seeing that he was so polite and polite when he drank wine, Zhao Daniu grinned, laughed, and poured it down with a thick neck. With a word of "good wine", he wiped his mouth and poured wine for Zhao Zhu with a smile again.
He lifted the wine bowl, raised his sleeves, and drank it all.
"Good. Brothers. β
At that time, she was still in Qinggang County, and she often told him with a smile that they were good buddies, and she must help him calm down the world's arrogant words such as competing for the storage position. Although now that I think about it, what she said at that time was not very sincere, but as long as I think of her appearance, my heart feels like being soaked in a hot and humid spring. Warm, cozy, very soft and soft.
This fresh argument, the first time he heard it from Chu Qi's mouth.
In the royal family, his family is big, and he has many brothers-in-law, more than ordinary people. But there are countless people who have said countless different compliments in front of him, but few people say that they regard him as a brother.
This is the second time Zhao has heard such an argument.
Brothers......
Chen Daniu's swarthy face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it!" Not to mention that you are the prince, and you also have the grace of reinvention for me Chen Da Niu, on the friendship that we have drunk blood and eaten meat for so many years, I am allowed to say a word of arrogance, in my heart, I have long regarded you as my own brother. Brotherly love, go to the soup and go to the fire, why do you want to thank you?! β
"Da Niu, this bowl of wine is a tribute to you, thank you."
The second bowl was full, and Zhao Bottle smiled faintly.
Stir-fry a few side dishes, set up a table on the corridor of the compound, Chen Daniu and Zhao Zhu sat opposite each other, didn't say much, one person had a wine bowl, touched it lightly, and then went down.
It's noon, and it's time for dinner.
Chen Daniu pointed happily and shouted "Zhou Shun" loudly, and the kid hurriedly ran over, and after listening to his words, he quickly went out, and brought a jar of wine with a smile.
"It was transported by boat from Qingzhou Mansion, and it just arrived at the dock this morning!"
When Chen Daniu led Zhao Zhu out of the courtyard, the craftsmen were moving a jar of Qingzhou wine bound with red cloth from the carriage outside the door to the courtyard.
Qingzhou wine is not said in vain, and there must be wine for wine.
~
"No, I'm going to surprise her."
Zhao Jun raised his eyes to look at him, with a rare warm smile on his face.
"Don't you tell Chu Qi about this?"
Chen Daniu's brows furrowed, looking at him inexplicably, not knowing which flat-haired beast had provoked him, so he only asked with a slight worry.
"In the early days of the dynasty today, I met Dongfang Qingxuan outside the Fengtian Palace." Zhao Bottle snorted lowly, a pair of sharp eyes against the light, and swept a cold eagle's arc, "That pigeon, it's really a beast." When the king sees it, he will strip it of its hair and stew it. β
"What's wrong?" Chen Daniu was stunned and pretended to be puzzled.
Zhao Zhu's face suddenly darkened.
"Before birth?"
"In order not to attract the attention of others, I did it very secretively, and the brothers did not know the purpose, and they dug slowly. But rest assured, Your Highness will definitely be able to do it before the birth of the little prince. β
How could Chen Da Niu not know his eagerness to see Chu Qi? It's just that when he thought that he and Chu Qi would meet in a tunnely way in the next few months, he looked crooked, hehe.
"How far is it?" Zhao Jun asked with a deep groan.
However, although the courtyard of Ruhua Liquor is not too far from the backyard of the Wei Mansion, it is not too close to avoid suspicion. There are three blocks in between. Therefore, if this tunnel is to be dug through, it will not be done overnight.
Since then, Chen Daniu has selected craftsmen and is ready for construction.
For this, he was also proud for a while. However, on the night of the state banquet, when Chen Daniu led the eldest princess of Jinghua to the Jin Palace, to report the matter to Zhao Zhu, as soon as he heard the word "like a flower", Zhao Zhu was silent for a moment, and he became worried about Chen Daniu's future heirs.
The high-style name of the wine shop, "Ruhua", was chosen by Chen Daniu himself.
The money used to open the wine shop was borne by Zhao Zhu.
From then on, the selection of the site, the search for craftsmen, and the plate of this three-entry courtyard were all done for today, and they could openly dig a wine cellar in the courtyard as a cover, and secretly dig the tunnel to the Chuci Courtyard, the capital of the Principality of Wei.
But Zhao Zhu was stunned for a moment, then regained his composure, and arrogantly said that he would let him learn some skills, and then sent this errand to him, asking him to find a good place near the Wei State Mansion to open a wine shop for his brother who came to Beijing from Qingzhou Mansion but had nothing to do.
On the night Zhao Zhu returned to Beijing, the first thing Chen Daniu did when he went to the Jin Palace, was to tell him that Chu Qi was pregnant with his child. At that time, Chen Daniu was focused on seeing how His Royal Highness the King of Jin would react when he learned that he was going to be a father.
