Since seeing his wife's miserable cooking skills, Xiao Chumo has quietly learned some home-cooked dishes in private, although he can't do the color and flavor of a famous chef, but the taste is still good.

From handling prey to lighting a fire and cooking, Xiao Chumo was almost doing it alone, and all Yu Panxi could do was help clean the fresh mushrooms picked from the mountains.

Except that what the two of them do seems to be reversed, this warm scene is indeed very much like an ordinary couple. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, isolating all the deception from this small world, and even Yu Panxi was in a trance for a moment. This kind of life really coincides with the days after her imaginary seclusion.

"What do you think, so engrossed?"

Xiao Chumo didn't know when he had walked behind Yu Panxi, and seeing that she seemed to be a little distracted, he raised his hand and gently pinned the wisp of green silk that slipped from her ear behind her ear. The latter finally came back to his senses and found that he had actually temporarily disposed of the things in his hand, just the mushrooms on her side.

Yu Panxi shook his head, with a gentle smile on his face: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about when the days of such worry will end." ”

The revenge was avenged, and she was tired of the struggle in the court. Now that Yu Feng is gone, there are no more people and things in the entire capital that can make her worry about, only her husband and son are all she has. The struggle in the court was too dark and dangerous, and she didn't want to see them follow in the footsteps of Yu Feng.

Xiao Chumo saw that her mood was not quite right, although she didn't know what she was thinking, she still comforted softly: "It won't be long." When all this is over, I will resign from the emperor and retire. When the time comes, our family will find a place to live, plant a few fields, raise a few chickens and ducks, and live a quiet and light life. ”

In fact, he is not a person who is greedy for power, but he is forced by the situation and has to fight with a sinister villain like Situ Ye. It's just that the Xiao family is a loyal minister who is dedicated to the country, and now that the Mo family is still there, it is impossible for him to let the great rivers and mountains guarded by his ancestors fall into the hands of impure people. It's just that if he can, he also hopes to take Yu Panxi and Xiaodouding to live a life without controversy.

When Yu Panxi told him about this before, she just thought he was casually responding, and the situation was not right at the time, and they really couldn't get out. It wasn't until now when she heard Xiao Chumo say these words with a hint of yearning that she finally understood that he was really tired of these never-ending struggles for imperial power.

Power is enough for a man to tempt and covet, but the man standing next to her is willing to give up the power above the ten thousand people under the one person in his hand for her. With that alone, what could she not be satisfied with?

Yu Panxi didn't answer, but the melancholy in his eyes had dissipated completely. The small room was suddenly silent, no one spoke, only the dry firewood crackled in the hearth, and the flames seemed to want to applaud the touch in her heart.

The wild boar meat cut into pieces was stewed in the pot with a gurgling sound, Xiao Chumo cut the freshly washed mushrooms into it slightly, sprinkled some green onions, and the fragrance quickly wafted out. Even Xiao Douding, who was squatting outside the house and playing with rabbits, couldn't help but run in, wiping his saliva and asking when the meal would start.

Yu Panxi couldn't cry or laugh a little, and turned her head to see that Xiao Chumo was still busy preparing other food, but she had a bit of a chef's demeanor, and she also knew that she couldn't help if she stayed here. So he simply whispered a few words to Xiao Douding and accompanied him to the yard to take care of the little rabbit.

The guards were allowed to move freely in two batches, and they also happened to dispose of the extra game and eat it. It's just that they don't have the conditions and skills of their own masters, so they can only smell the smell of meat wafting from the house and swallow their saliva, while angrily smearing spices on the roasted game, which they brought out of the capital when they were leaving.

It's just that although the barbecue tastes good, there are things that make it taste better just by smelling at the moment, and they are naturally a little envious. While being curious about why his master is so good at cooking, he is also depressed about why he doesn't have such good skills.

Yu Panxi hugged a rabbit with Xiaodouding in the yard, and couldn't help but feel a little funny at the depressed look on the faces of the secret guards. It just so happened that Xiao Chumo had already prepared the meal and served it on the table, so the mother and son went in very consciously and sat down obediently, waiting for him to finish their work and start together.

"How's it taste?"

Xiao Chumo put a piece of wild boar meat in Yu Panxi's bowl, and after she swallowed it, she asked with a soft smile. Although he is still very confident in the cooking skills he has learned from his teacher for several days, since it is specially made for his daughter-in-law, it is natural that she has to say that it is delicious to count.

Before Yu Panxi could speak, Xiao Douding, who was sitting between the two, replied first: "It's delicious!" Daddy's cooking is almost as good as the chef in the palace! ”

As he spoke, he kept stuffing vegetables and meat into his mouth, and at the same time kept exhaling because it was so hot, which looked very funny. Yu Panxi couldn't help laughing, seeing that Xiao Chumo seemed to have a black line on his head, and was about to scold Xiao Douding, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe Xiao Douding's mouth, and opened her mouth one step ahead of him: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”

After wiping, she picked up the chopsticks and fed a piece of mushroom to Xiao Chumo's mouth, and directly blocked everything he wanted to say just now: "The taste is indeed very good, you can taste it yourself." ”

The latter was a little dissatisfied with her being so accustomed to children, but she was not good at scolding her, so she had to look at Yu Panxi with a little protest, and then obediently swallowed the mushroom.

"Having said that, you insisted on not letting me go out to find help in the rivers and lakes before, and you seem to be confident about dealing with Situ Ye, do you actually have a plan for a long time?"

Seeing that Xiao Douding was eating happily, and it seemed that he didn't notice this side at all, Yu Panxi seemed to remember something, and lowered the doubts in his heart and asked in a lower voice.

Xiao Chumo is not a reckless person, it is impossible for him to insist on doing this while knowing the strength and means of the other party. Previously, Yu Panxi was a little angry because he and Xingtian made their own decisions and gave the Xingtian Sword to Situ Ye, so he was a little angry and even left without permission to find help. Now that I have calmed down and thought back to what happened at that time, I may taste something that was wrong.

Hearing her question, Xiao Chumo just smiled mysteriously: "Eat first, you'll know soon." ”
