"Back to Your Majesty, yes," Xu Yiyuan followed behind the emperor's right, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "His Royal Highness often said that it is his lifelong wish to be far like these pines and cypresses, green all year round, willing to be a foil for a hundred flowers, and to hide between the mountains and rivers." ”

"Hmph, it's just that I don't have ambition." Xu Yi said, Concubine Xian took advantage of the position she was going to stand in, and she was very unceremonious and cynical, this time Xu Rulie, who had always been arrogant, did not feel so.

The emperor nodded, did not say a word, and when everyone had entered the main hall, Xu Yi arranged a scattered resting residence, and then was ordered to invite Xu Ruyu over.

"The second prince is worthy of being the son of Emperor Daze, this is not arrogant or impatient, transcendent, it is not easy for a person born in the royal family to have such an idea, and it is not easy to come to the future Lord Peony and the second prince Qin Se and Ming, and there is no need to bother for many trivial matters."

The wife of the hundred officials and the queen sat together in the side hall next door, and the emperor in the main hall was accompanied by the hundred officials, Daze's rules have always been exquisite and solemn, and there is always a feeling that the emperor is angry with himself, and he always feels panicked in his heart, so he wants to open his mouth to break the deadlock, but when he says this, it makes the atmosphere more embarrassing.

Younosuke is a foreign envoy, and it is understandable that he didn't know what happened to Daze before, but no official dared to take the initiative to come over to help him.

He wanted to say something good, but he didn't want to have the opposite effect, thanks to the emperor, he put down the teacup and said a word calmly.

"Lord You has a good reputation, the county lord Xu is worthy of Ruyu, it is beneficial to you and me, and I also hope that after the county lord of Peony marries, he can ignore many appearances and raise eyebrows with Ruyu."

"Your Majesty, the second prince has arrived."

As he was talking, the door of the main hall slowly opened, and it was Xu Yin who pushed Xu Ruyu over, but Xu Ruyu's haggard face looked more and more ugly at the moment.

"Erchen has seen his father."

Xu Ruyu sat in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed over by Xu Yin, I don't know if he heard the conversation between Emperor Fang Cai and the envoys, or for other reasons, his face at this moment was even more haggard and pale than when he first became ill.

The emperor has not come to see him for so many years, mainly because he is afraid that the meeting between the two will increase his sadness, and he doesn't want to delay his recuperation, so he is actually very worried in his heart.

"Don't be polite, don't stick to these etiquettes if you're not in good health, come here and let me take a good look at you," the emperor sighed in his heart, and as Xu Ruyu got closer and closer, his brows furrowed more and more.

"Why is your face so ugly, but the people below can't take good care of it?"

"With the care of Father Lao, the sons and daughters taken care of by Xu Yi are very good, but the sons are weak and can't afford the kindness of their fathers." Xu Ruyu arched his hand, his expression was full of sorrow, but his eyes that looked at the emperor did not have the same admiration as they did at the beginning.

When the emperor saw him like this, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, so he put his hand on the armrest on the side, and then as if he had just remembered, he pointed to Yunosuke next to him.

"Today, I brought the envoys of the Japanese kingdom to watch the drill around here, and I came to see you by the way, so that you can see each other." The emperor said, looking at Yunosuke, and seemed to suddenly be a little more interested, and he was very proud to introduce.

"Lord You may not know, I don't know that the two princes, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wen Taowu are all proficient, if it is not for the physical drag, there is no need to retreat here to recuperate. Fortunately, there is also the tonic of Snow Lotus, which means that his body is getting weaker and weaker, and he can live like ordinary people. ”

As soon as these words came out, what I knew was that in order to prove that Xu Ruyu was not as bad as he imagined, the marriage with the lord of Peony was not low, but promoted, and the Younosuke on the other side could be regarded as a half-human essence, so he immediately thought of another level, and hurriedly got up and said.

"Your Majesty Emperor Daze, please rest assured, after the ministers go back, they will definitely report to the lord of the country, and the snow lotus that is offered to the Daze royal family every year will never be in short supply."

"Speaking of snow lotus, there are still a few in the treasure pavilion in my palace, and after I return to the palace, I will ask Huai'an to fetch them for you, and send them all to the other courtyard."

It is convenient to talk to smart people, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at Xu Ruyu's eyes with a little more kindness. But he has been in the position for too long, and he doesn't understand what Xu Ruyu cares about most at the moment.

"Yes, Wechen wrote it down." Xiao Huai'an immediately turned sideways and agreed, but Xu Ruyu exhaled a long breath, and his face was still calm, without the slightest change.

"Thank you for the kindness of my father, the body of the son-in-law has always been hanging by the snow lotus, but the snow lotus is such a good tonic, if it is only given to the son-in-law, in case anyone in the palace suddenly needs it, but how can it be good, the doctor in the mansion has already prepared a prescription for conditioning, so I won't go to Lord Xiao again."

Although this is a relatively general statement, the exclusive pet of something has always been the easiest to attract people's talk, not to mention others, it is the queen and the virtuous concubine, and the two will also have a lecture on etiquette and human feelings.

Xu Ruyu's unceremonious euphemistic refusal made the atmosphere here suddenly a little embarrassing, the emperor coughed lightly, and some positions below, Xu Ruzhu couldn't help but snort from his nose, Xiao Huai'an didn't say anything, maybe he felt a sense of sympathy.

Yunosuke held the cup, and when he saw that no one spoke for a long time, he was uncomfortable, so he put the cup back and tried to talk to Xu Ruyu with a smile.

"Why is the second prince so arrogant, in the future, the lord of my country's Peony County will marry the second prince in the courtyard, the second prince is the nobles of our country, such as snow lotus, how much can it be worth, how can it be worthy of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Daze and our country."

"The love of establishing diplomatic relations only lies in love, not in things, His Royal Highness is already so weak that he can even walk a few more steps, and he can't delay the Peony County Lord of your country."

Hearing this, Xu Ruyu just lowered his head and sneered, not seeing a moment of joy, the emperor's face sank slightly, and even Dequan behind him felt a little dangerous.

"This matter has been discussed with Lord You, you don't have to excuse yourself, the lord of Peony will marry soon, and it is a good thing to be with both countries, you have never loved to make trouble, I depend on you, but you must always have someone around you to take care of, don't forget the royal branches."

In this way, it doesn't mean that no matter how unhappy Xu Ruyu is, it will be useless.

So he simply closed his mouth and stopped talking, and the emperor seemed to realize that he and this son had nothing in common to talk about, so he pursed his mouth and raised his hand with a sigh in his heart.

"Okay, then this matter is so decided, I am also very tired, you all go down to rest, and then go back to the palace in a while, Huai'an, you and Xu Yi will arrange it."

"Yes." Xiao Huai'an and Xu Yi agreed in unison, and the old eunuch Dequan helped the emperor to get up, and slowly went out in the worship of hundreds of officials.

"Your Highness." Waiting for the hundred officials here to disperse, Xu Yi pushed Xu Ruyu to walk at the end, for the emperor's order, and Xiao Huai'an was not familiar with this place, which made him a little embarrassed.

However, after Xu Ruyu came out, he felt a lot more relaxed, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Needless to say, you can send me to the garden, I want to be alone and quiet, and come back to look for me when you are ready." ”

"Your Highness, be careful." Xu Yi listened, he never went against Xu Ruyu's order, so he just gave a worried more order, covered a thin blanket on his knees, so as not to be blown by the wind, and left quickly, striving to come back early.

At the back of the main hall there is a relatively large garden, but even though there are not a few flowers and trees planted in the middle of the garden, except for the hardy plum blossoms, chrysanthemums and moon seasons, it is still surrounded by lush greenery.

The queen said a few words here, and the people were almost dispersed, and Su Jiao didn't have a few people to talk to, so she simply came out to relax, and also wanted to see how Xiao Huai'an was doing.

But Su Jiao originally thought that when she was waiting for Xiao Huai'an, she could pinch a few flowers by the way, but looking at the green of the garden, an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in her heart.

"This is too green, isn't it, could it be that the second prince is hinting at something?"

"What?" Mu Rong almost trembled with fright when she heard Su Jiao's inadvertent words, but thinking that she couldn't know anything about the palace secrets, she calmed down again, just as if she was casually saying that.

"It's nothing, I just don't think this color is very lucky, but it's good when it falls under this big sun, and it looks vibrant, so let's just take a dip here."

Su Jiao smiled and waved her hand, although the intention was to pick flowers, but at this time, it was the hottest time in the afternoon, and she only came out a few steps, and she regretted it a little.

And there were a lot of people, only with an oil-paper umbrella, and it couldn't cover it at all, so she and the three maids behind her hid in the garden together, under the thickest big pine tree, leisurely, but a little cool.

"Yes, although the garden here is not as delicate and beautiful as the small garden carefully tended by Miss in our house, these grasses and trees are not all without benefits, such as the herbal tea we drink, in this upcoming midsummer weather, it is the most to quench our thirst."

The four girls sat on the ground, and Diecui also brought with her a small wooden box specially prepared yesterday, this small wooden box has a handle on it, which is convenient to load anywhere, and there is a small teapot the size of a palm, and there are exactly four cups.

Diecui poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Jiao, Su Jiao took a sip with a smile and nodded with a smirk. "Hehe, Diecui, why have you suddenly become so literate now, and you know so much about tea?"
