Chapter 521: The years are quiet
The roof of the shed is wrapped with vines one after another, and at this time the vines are already hanging with bunches of grapes that are about to ripen. Although the grapes have a thin layer of hoarfrost, it is still difficult to hide their crystal clearness.
After Xie Junze left, Jiang Baizhu, accompanied by Shui Tao and Feng Lan, sat under the grapevines, basking in the warm autumn sun in the afternoon, which was very comfortable.
Occasionally, sunlight shines through the gaps between the grape leaves, and the breeze blows, the leaves sway with the wind, and the light and shadow that fall on Jiang Baizhu's body also shakes. Sitting on a rattan chair and shaking gently, holding a book in his hand, he occasionally chatted with Shui Tao and Feng Lan who were making tea and embroidering beside him.
The years are quiet, and life should be so comfortable.
Shui Tao has learned some pharmacological knowledge from his grandfather since he was a child, and he is actually very interested in this aspect, and he is also very interested in chatting with Jiang Baizhu about medicinal diet knowledge at this time. Compared with the usual dignified and rigorous appearance, it is a little more vivid.
Although Feng Lan doesn't know much about these, because of her cheerful and lively personality and her very good understanding of how to do things, the three of them also talk happily.
The days of autumn are getting shorter and shorter, and the sun goes down very early.
A few days ago, he said that he wanted to cook a few dishes for Xie Junze that he liked to eat, but as a result, he was delayed several times, and today's dinner could not be delayed any longer, Jiang Baizhu said that he had to cook it himself.
It just so happened that Xie Junze had been working hard every day for the past few days, and Jiang Baizhu just happened to make some delicious food for His Majesty the Emperor.
Xie Junze arrived a little later than expected, the prepared meals were a little cold, and when he came back, there was a faint trace of worry between his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" After instructing Shui Tao to heat up the meal again, he turned his head and saw Xie Junze with a frown, Jiang Baizhu stepped forward and held Xie Junze's hand and asked.
Xie Junze looked up at Jiang Baizhu, held her soft little hand with his backhand, and his brows stretched. It's as if the bad things he encountered this afternoon disappeared the moment he saw Jiang Baizhu's warm care for him.
Looking at Xie Junze's eyes full of love when he looked at him, Jiang Baizhu's heart warmed. Thinking of Xie Junze's frowning appearance before, he knew that Xie Junze might have something on his mind.
"Is there something that is hard to solve? Is there anything I can do to help? Jiang Baizhu asked.
Xie Junze opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that were originally on his lips, and said instead: "It's nothing, it's just that there have been a lot of government affairs recently, and I'm a little tired."
In fact, Xie Junze is not false when he says this, at present, many small countries come to pay tribute, and there are many worries about diplomatic matters, Xie Junze does have a lot of government affairs to be busy.
It's just that it is not these things that make Xie Junze headache and upset, after all, there are still many ministers who can help the monarch share these diplomatic matters. Now the most renovated thing for Xie Junze is about Princess Hefeng.
On that day, the princess openly said that she wanted to marry the emperor in the court, although this matter made the emperor suppress it at that time, and said that she would discuss it later. But in the next few days, many ministers went to the fold, all of them to persuade the emperor to marry
Princess Hefeng entered the harem.
After all, the strength of the southern kingdom to which Princess Hefeng belongs is not bad compared to the Great Xuan Kingdom, and it was originally a neighboring friendly country with the Great Xuan Kingdom. Although there was a war a hundred years ago, a peace treaty was signed.
It's just that in recent years, there has not been as much peace as before.
It may be because the peace has been quiet for too long, and some people have started to think about things that they shouldn't have.
In the past few years, although there has been no large-scale movement on the border, there is a faint feeling that there are some forces that are ready to move under the seemingly peaceful.
Many ministers are also worried about these, so at this time, if the emperor can marry Princess Hefeng, for Daxuanguo, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless.
The emperor is naturally very aware of the stakes in this matter.
Moreover, since ancient times, royal harmony has also been an unwritten rule that naturally cemented ties with friendly relations with other countries.
If the emperor really married Princess Hefeng, then the people in the land adjacent to the southern kingdom would naturally be able to live a more stable life.
If this matter had been placed in the past, when Xie Junze had not fallen in love with Jiang Baizhu, Xie Junze would not have felt entangled in this matter at all.
Not to mention marrying a strange princess from a neighboring country, even if it is marrying five and marrying ten, there is not much difference for Xie Junze.
Those princesses who married were just like the other women in the harem, and they were just a means for him to stabilize the country and consolidate his position.
But now it's different.
Now Xie Junze's eyes can no longer tolerate other women except Jiang Baizhu, and he is even more unwilling to let Jiang Baizhu be wronged because of some other things.
After having a heart, Xie Junze's heart is very resistant to this kind of harmony.
If it is just a simple marriage, the emperor is unwilling to marry in person, and it is okay to marry the princess of another country who comes with him to a high-ranking official who is a high-ranking official in the court.
But now the trouble is that Princess Hefeng not only came to Daxuanguo to make peace, but more importantly, this princess fell in love with Xie Junze, the emperor of Daxuanguo, at a glance. On that day, he was above the court, and even said directly that he had to marry the emperor of the Great Xuanguo.
This matter has been a headache for Xie Junze for several days.
"In the past few days, that princess has come to the palace to find our emperor several times, and our emperor has blocked us from the imperial study under various excuses. Yesterday afternoon, the princess went to the royal study again. It was early in the morning, and Jiang Baizhu, who was having breakfast, listened to Feng Lan's report on the news he heard from elsewhere.
"Then what does the emperor think about this matter?" Jiang Baizhu wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked.
"I heard my father-in-law who was waiting in the imperial study say that every time someone reported that the princess came to find His Majesty, His Majesty would be full of displeasure, and His Majesty would not like the princess when he thought about it." Feng Lan replied.
Xie Junze returned late yesterday, Jiang Baizhu saw Xie Junze's frowning brows at that time, and knew that Xie Junze had something on his mind, but he didn't say anything after asking Xie Junze.
So Jiang Baizhu ordered Feng Lan to go and fight early this morning
Listen and inquire what made Xie Junze so annoyed.
If you don't inquire, Xie Junze is not the only one who is worried about this inquiry.
Jiang Baizhu was in a very unhappy mood for a while when he knew that Princess Hefeng threatened to marry the emperor in the main hall.
In the past few days, under Xie Junze's tenderness and sweetness, he almost forgot about Princess Hefeng.
But just because you don't think of her doesn't mean she doesn't exist.
