In the early morning of the next day, the warm sun was hanging high, the sun was shining, in the back garden, among the flowers, on the clear pond, in a pavilion with willows blowing, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were sitting in it playing chess, Hongxiu, Hexiang, and two other concubines who had just been accepted were sitting aside.

Of course, the most beautiful thing is Zhen Mi sitting opposite Yuan Xi, she is dressed in red today, her skin is as bright as clotted fat, smooth and crispy, pure and lovely, and indeed beautiful as a fairy, gentle as water, and indeed extravagant.

After the two of them made about half a pillar of incense, Hongxiu looked at Yuan Xi, who was frowning, covered her mouth and snickered. "Husband, you seem to be out of chess"

"It's my sister's chess skills that are too strong" exuded a faint elegance on her body, and her temperament was completely different from when she was a maid, and Hexiang said respectfully to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Xi with a sad face, and said, "Husband, why don't you do it again." ”

"Come on, come on, it's just an accident, the next one will definitely win" Hearing this, Yuan Xi still didn't believe it.

However, after three games in a row, Yuan Xi fell headlong on the chessboard, and seemed to be ashamed to see the world.

Seeing this scene, the girls immediately burst out laughing.

Yuan Xi slowly raised his head and looked at the happy women, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, in addition to pacifying the world, men also want to make their women happy.

"Do you want to come again, husband," Zhen Mi asked with a wink.

"Don't" Yuan Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a wry smile: "Mi'er has superb chess skills, and she can't win for her husband."

"How can there be, the husband is far-reaching and ambitious, so naturally he will not work these trails" Zhen Mi shook her head and gave Yuan Xi a step.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, put down the chess pieces, and asked with concern: "Mi'er, the day after tomorrow is my father's birthday, how is the birthday ceremony prepared?" ”

"It's all ready" Zhen Mi immediately signaled to the maid on the side, the maid nodded, gave a salute, and slowly retreated.

After a while, the three maids walked over with a tray in their hands, only to see a crystal clear, snow-white jade Buddha, a big red coral, and a fist-sized night pearl, all of which were some amazing treasures.

"These three birthday gifts are all searched by my uncle everywhere, each of which can be a treasure in the world, especially this red coral, I heard that it was searched by fishermen in Qingzhou in the sea, it is rare to see it in a hundred years!" Zhen Mi said with a smile.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, pointed to the jade Buddha in the middle and said, "Just choose this as a birthday gift!" The rest will be sent back to Zhen's house."

Zhen Mi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Husband, although this white jade Buddha is good, it is indeed inferior to the other two, I heard that the birthday gifts of the third brother and the eldest brother are extraordinary, why don't you send them together!" ”

Yuan Xi smiled, "It's really because they are carefully preparing that I can't steal the limelight, this Jade Buddha represents peace, and it is the most suitable."

Zhen Mi frowned, knowing that Yuan Xi was in Taoguang, and after gently letting the maids retreat, she said with a serious face: "Husband, I have something to say."

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said to the four daughters of Hexiang: "You go down first"

"No!" The four sensible women immediately bowed to Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi, and slowly retreated.

"Mi'er, what's so serious" Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi's little hand and sat aside.

"Husband, I still won't go on my birthday, although I don't know what my father thinks, but it's better not to show up, so that nothing happens" Zhen Mi asked expectantly.

Yuan Xi frowned, and then smiled: "Hasn't this matter been discussed?" Mi'er doesn't have to be like this at all, if your husband wants to take you away now, no one can stop you."

"But!" Zhen Mi was a little worried.

"Don't be, this matter is settled" Although Yuan Xi's tone was soft, his eyes were indeed very firm.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Mi couldn't help but sigh, and her heart became a little worried.

Around noon, when Yuan Xi was in the study to review some of the pieces sent by the camp, in Zhen Mi's bedroom, he saw Li Ru suddenly appear here, looking at the ground with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Liang, although I don't know where you come from, but I can clearly feel my husband's trust in you, it is unprecedented, I also believe that Mr. is a great talent, there is one thing, I hope Mr. can help me analyze and analyze" Zhen Mi said expectantly.

Li Ru's eyes froze, but he still lowered his head, this is the rule, the wife and concubine of the son can not look at it at will, and asked: "What is the matter with the madam, just say"

"Mr. Liang, you raise your head," Zhen Mi said suddenly.

After Li Ru hesitated for a while, he raised it slightly, glanced at it, and suddenly his pupils shrank, such a beautiful woman, comparable to Diao Chan back then.

"Mr. Liang, let me tell you a story" At this time, Zhen Mi slowly stood up, and sighed about her queen's fate and the situation of marrying Yuan Xi.

A few minutes later, Li Ru finally understood, nodded in understanding, and said with a smile: "I see, Madame's appearance is indeed rare in the world, even compared to the ancient Xi Shi, it is not inferior, Yuan Gong had this thought back then, it is indeed possible, but Liang thought that Madame and Gongzi may have been too worried, from this period of time Liang's understanding of Yuan Gong, he is definitely a good father, maybe after Madame married Gongzi, Yuan Gong has dispelled this idea, otherwise he would not canonize Gongzi as the history of Youzhou Thorn, and be in charge alone"

"Then why did my father marry me to my husband?" Zhen Mi was puzzled, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan didn't marry a wife back then!

A hint of wisdom flashed in Li Ru's eyes, "Madam, this is Yuan Gong's wisdom and Gongzi's helplessness, haven't you seen it yet?" Although Yuan Gong was amazed by the beauty of his wife, and had the so-called queen life, but the so-called Shinong businessman, Mrs. is still just a businessman in Yuan Gong's heart, and her status is not high, and the eldest prince and the third prince are his predetermined candidates for the son, so he doesn't want the two sons to compete for the lady, and the second is to choose the daughter of the scholar clan for them, at present, the eldest son's wife is the daughter of the Zhang family, and the fiancée of the third prince is the daughter of the Hu family.

Zhen Mi was suddenly shocked, and the whole person instantly sobered up, it turned out to be like this, and a little shame couldn't help but appear on her face.

"As the son-in-law of the Yuan family, my husband has indeed been a little wronged by taking me, the daughter of a businessman, and I am arrogant in vain" Zhen Mi's eyes were already showing a trace of sadness.

"Madam, don't say that, Gongzi has a deep affection for you, although Liang has only been with Gongzi for a short time, but he can clearly feel that Gongzi has never cared about these, especially the Shi clan, now they are still useful to Gongzi, but once Gongzi dominates the world, pacifies all the princes, sweeps the land of foreign races, and when he has a million armor under his command, these Shi clans with higher hearts than the sky will be completely eliminated one by one, and there can only be one voice in the world, then Gongzi's, apart from this, there is no one else" A trace of fanaticism flashed on Li Ru's face, unconsciously, he has completely surrendered to Yuan Xi.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed on Zhen Mi's face, and then he bowed deeply to Li Ru, "I hope that Mr. will assist her husband more in the future, if there is anything that needs help, Zhen Mi will definitely do his best."

"Madame is polite" Li Ru hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile: "Madam, you should muster up courage, because you are not alone, behind you is Gongzi, Gongzi is warm outside and domineering inside, the power is far from this on the surface, Liang can say a big word, if Gongzi is really angry, the whole Yecheng will be shaken"

Zhen Mi's pupils shrank, the corners of her mouth gradually showed a smile, and with a proud expression of pride for Yuan Xi on her face, the whole person was completely relaxed.
