Originally, Shen Xiao wanted to say something, but the emperor was one step ahead of him and waved his hand at him, "Go down, if there is something, I will send someone to find you." ”

The emperor did this, which showed that he didn't want Shen Xiao to express any opinions, and Shen Xiao had no choice but to bow and retreat.

On the way out of the palace, Shen Xiao kept frowning, among all the princes competing for the throne, he was the least optimistic about the third prince Xia Qi.

It is said that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different, this is not false at all, the emperor is suspicious by nature, among all the princes, there is probably only the third prince Xia Qi, who inherited him.

In addition, the third prince seems to be humble and polite on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is an extremely thoughtful and ruthless character.

The most important thing is that the three princes have no mercy......

Although it is not a good thing to be too merciful as an emperor, there is no mercy at all, and this is not a good thing, and such a king can easily become a tyrant.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, if it weren't for his father's explanation, he would have wanted to resign and not do it, and he would be free from all over the world.

After leaving the palace, Shen Xiao went directly to Nalan Xuan's mansion, Nalan Xuan, as usual, was dispensing medicine, and when he saw Shen Xiao coming, he put down the work in his hand and ordered someone to prepare refreshments.

"What's wrong? Look, it seems that something is on your mind? "He has been friends with Shen Xiao for many years, Nalan Xuan knows him very well, and when he saw him frowning, he guessed that he had something in his heart.

"Look at you like this, you came out of the palace, right? What's the matter, what did the old emperor say? ”

For the emperor, Nalan Xuan had no respect at all, although his father used to be an official of Daxing, but he had died fighting for Daxing.

"The emperor asked me to send all the news of Jincheng to the mansion of the three princes, and the emperor plans to hand over the affairs of Jincheng to the three princes."

For Nalan Xuan, Shen Xiao did not hide anything and told him everything.

"I really don't know what the old emperor thinks, then Xia Qi is like a poisonous snake, handing Daxing into the hands of a poisonous snake, is this trying to destroy the country?"

After listening to Shen Xiao, Nalan Xuan snorted coldly, his words full of disdain.

"If you want me to say, you should hurry up and take advantage of the current situation to resign and retire, otherwise, if the third prince ascends the throne, you will definitely have no good fruit to eat."

Looking at Shen Xiao, Nalan Xuan spoke again, "If you resign, I will take you out to travel the world, and you can also take your new wife, and we will go out together." ”

Knowing that Shen Xiao was a little special to his new wife, Nalan Xuan opened his mouth to propose.

"Where is it so easy, if it weren't for my father's instructions, I would have left a long time ago." Stretching out his hand and rubbing his eyebrows, Shen Xiao thought of the letter his father left for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart.

"Shen Xiao, what kind of letter did your father leave for you? I thought that according to your character, you would not have wronged yourself like this, but I didn't expect that you would have endured it. ”

Hearing Shen Xiao talk about the entrustment, Nalan Xuan asked suspiciously, he had always been curious, but Shen Xiao didn't tell him.

"You'll know later, and the less people know about this matter, the better."

Still didn't tell Nalan Xuan, Shen Xiao picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.

"Don't say it." Shen Xiao was like this, Nalan Xuan was helpless, he stood up and continued to ponder his own dispensing.

The two have known each other for many years, and they also know each other's personalities, seeing Nalan Xuan like this, a helpless smile appeared on Shen Xiao's lips.

After having lunch in Nalan Xuan's mansion, Shen Xiao left, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he went directly to Yan Su's Jing Garden.

Sure enough, Yan Su was in Jing Garden, and she was still asleep at this time.

After thinking about it, Shen Xiao took off his robe, lay down beside Yan Su, and hugged her in his arms.

When Yan Su woke up, Shen Xiao was by her side, she was a little surprised, and blinked a few times before she was sure that she was not dreaming.

After staring at Shen Xiao for a while, Yan Su wanted to get up, she drank a lot of sweet soup before going to bed, and after sleeping for so long, it was time to go and make it easier.

wanted to move, but Shen Xiao's arm was on her body, she hesitated, reached out and took Shen Xiao's arm aside, and just wanted to get up, Shen Xiao's arm fell down again.

After a few times, Yan Su couldn't help but feel a little helpless, so he simply endured it, lying on the bed and waiting for Shen Xiao to wake up.

The moment Shen Xiao woke up, the first thing Yan Su did was to push his arm away, put on his shoes and run outside, seeing Yan Su like this, Shen Xiao couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

After a while, Yan Su came back, she sat at the table, looking at Shen Xiao who had already gotten up, with resentment on her face.

"What's wrong?" For Yan Su like this, Shen Xiao opened his mouth to ask her.

"You, sleep and sleep, you have to put your arms on me, I can't get up if I want to, if you don't get up again, I guess I'll have to pee my pants!"

Staring at Shen Xiao, Yan Su opened his mouth angrily, and the words he said made Shen Xiao stunned at first, and then a little uncomfortable.

It's no wonder that although the two are husband and wife, they haven't had too close contact, and in front of him, Yan Su's words are so straightforward, he must be uncomfortable.

Seeing the discomfort on Shen Xiao's face, Yan Su was stunned, and then realized what she said, she stretched out her hand to support her forehead, only to feel that she had no face to look at Shen Xiao.

There was silence in the house, and the couple didn't know what to say, but in the end, it was Yan Su who broke the silence and changed the topic.

"Well, I'd like to discuss something with you." Clearing his throat a little uncomfortably, Yan Su looked at Shen Xiao, and then spoke.

"What's the matter?" Although the atmosphere in the room was still embarrassing, but in the end Yan Su opened his mouth, Shen Xiao could only try to let himself forget what happened just now, looked at Yan Su and asked.

"When I'm usually fine, I want to go home and see it from time to time." Yan Su knew that his request was too much in ancient times.

It is said that the girl who marries out will spill the water, and after she gets married, her daughter will be someone else's family, and if she always runs to her mother's house, she will inevitably be gossiped about.

However, Shen Xiao was not the kind of person who had a lot of scruples, after listening to Yan Su's words, he was just silent for a moment before nodding.

Seeing Shen Xiao's response, Yan Su was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed joy, she originally thought that Shen Xiao would not agree to what she said, but she didn't expect him to nod and agree.

"Great! Ah, you're so nice! "You know, if you get Shen Xiao's consent, then it will be much easier for her to go out again.

"I've decided to make you pastries to eat, just wait." Standing up, Yan Su ran out of the house with an excited face, Shen Xiao wanted to call her to stop, but she had already walked out of the house quickly.

Thinking of the sweet pastries, Shen Xiao's face couldn't help but show helplessness, he felt that he should find an opportunity to tell Yan Su that he actually didn't like pastries.

Yan Su, who had already arrived in the kitchen, didn't know what Shen Xiao thought, originally she wanted to make pastries, but after arriving at the kitchen, she found that there were not many materials in the kitchen.

After thinking about it, Yan Su decided to cook himself and cook a table of dishes for Shen Xiao, no matter what, Shen Xiao agreed that he would often go to his mother's house, and he would like to thank him.

Thinking of this, Yan Su took a look at the ingredients in the kitchen and selected what he wanted to use.

Yan Su's busy work has passed for nearly an hour, because she has spent a lot of time making pastries before, so Shen Xiao has been waiting in the room.

When the meal was ready, Yan Su ordered someone to bring it into the house, and Shen Xiao looked at the food on the table, and his face couldn't help but show surprise.

"I originally wanted to make pastries, but I didn't have the ingredients, so I thought I'd make you a meal, you can taste it and see how it tastes?"

Yan Su is still very confident in her cooking skills, in her previous life, the food she cooked was very popular.

It's not dinner time yet, and at noon, Shen Xiao has also eaten lunch, not only that, but he also slept for a while, so now he is not hungry at all.

But the meal was made by Yan Su, Shen Xiao looked at her expectant expression, so he had to pick up the chopsticks and taste the food on the table.

At the entrance of the meal, Shen Xiao's eyes flashed with admiration, he had eaten the fish made by Yan Su before, because it was burnt, so the taste was much worse, he thought that Yan Su's cooking skills were actually average, but he didn't expect that he just didn't play well before.

"How does it taste?" Yan Su sat at the table, staring at Shen Xiao with sparkling eyes.

"It tastes good." While speaking, Shen Xiao kept eating with chopsticks, he was indeed not hungry, but in the end, it was Yan Su's intention, and the taste was really good, so if he wanted to eat, he could eat it.

Hearing Shen Xiao say this, Yan Su's face showed a smile, and he said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, Yan Su has decided, she will work hard to catch Shen Xiao's stomach.

In fact, for Yan Su, Shen Xiao's heart didn't matter, because she hadn't thought about what would happen to Shen Xiao if she fell in love with him.

In Yan Su's opinion, pleasing Shen Xiao is so that he can have a better life in the Hou Mansion, and he still has to ask Shen Xiao to help him in many things.

Of course, in this process, she will continue to strengthen her strength and strive to give herself some capital, so that even if what happens in the future, she will not worry about living the same life as in the past.

"Why don't you eat it?" Seeing that Yan Su had been looking at her, Shen Xiao opened his mouth to ask her.

"Eat now." Laughing in response, Yan Su picked up the chopsticks and followed suit.

After eating, Shen Xiao saw that it was still early, so he beckoned Yan Su to play chess with him, Yan Su was unwilling, but thinking that today he promised him to go back to his parents' house, so he sat at the table and watched him order someone to prepare the chessboard and chess pieces.

The chessboard and chess pieces were arranged, Shen Xiao looked at Yan Su and said with a smile.

"Which one do you want to play, did you teach me last time, or Go?"
