Chapter 39: The capital is so small

The reason why Emperor Pu Xuan passed on Banyue and Hanxiao to enter the palace was for a reason.

Wu Xi, the envoy of the Northern Snow Kingdom, sent a letter of state the day before, expressing the sincerity of Princess Xueyin's marriage, and he was overjoyed to see it.

Beixue Country has always been a piece of its own heart, and it is more ambitious and powerful than any of the surrounding countries.

At present, it is heading south and is attacking the country of the south wind, and has surrounded the capital of the country of the south wind for a period of time, and it is said that it can destroy the country of the south wind in the near future.

It and the Tiger Kingdom in the northwest have been competing for the Yuan State in the southwestern border.

Yuan Guo was too weak, so he turned to himself for help.

Otherwise, how could King Yuan Wei be willing to condescend and be willing to marry the Lotus County Lord to the crown prince as a side room?

Beixueguo suddenly threw an olive branch to himself, it was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it-

It wants to turn a blind eye to his expansion, and even be his help.

My own idea is that as long as it doesn't move Yuan Guo, everything else is easy to say.

Because Yuan is his natural barrier in the north to block the Northern Snow Country and the Tiger Country, he must not be touched by any other country.

Beixue Country wants to get married, and he is willing to plan it, and he is happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Wait until it is exhausted from fighting with the South Wind Country and the Tiger Country, and then clean it up by yourself.

"Princess Xueyin is a rare treasure of the Northern Snow Country, the heart of the Snow Emperor, marrying into your country is enough to express the Snow Emperor's sincere heart to Your Majesty." Wu Xi emphasized.

"Please tell the Snow Emperor, I am deeply honored." I replied to him.

"Since Princess Xueyin is extremely noble and naturally has a high temperament, I wonder if Your Majesty can tolerate a request?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, I'll listen to it."

"She doesn't want other women to share her husband, so she has a condition, she marries her own man, she can't take a concubine, and she must be devoted to her."

Hehe, what a high-minded person!

He was silent for a long time and said, "Understand, understand." It's just that it is difficult to find such a man in the world. ”

It's true, for many men nowadays, it's a perverted condition.

What princess is not honorable? Even if it is noble, who has proposed that his father-in-law is not allowed to continue his concubine?

Three wives and four concubines are the current rules, and she is equivalent to breaking the rules.

I'm afraid that only a person like Princess Xueyin, who thinks too highly of herself, dares to make such an unreasonable request.

I'm afraid that none of the royal relatives and nobles will be willing to marry her.

These men already have a superior life, who wants to have such a high woman on their heads to press themselves, so that they can't enjoy the pleasures of life?

For them, women are not meant to be worshipped, but to be enjoyed.

It's like enjoying food, eating the same food every day, no matter how high-end, it has to be extremely delicious.

Thinking about it like this, I thought of Banyue.

Banyue is a civilian, a civilian for generations, even if he is a general, he is also a civilian.

But if he marries Princess Xueyin, he can become a royal prince and become a nobleman, then his children and grandchildren will be nobles for generations, such a good thing is rare for eternity.

Therefore, he decided to invite Banyue into the palace and persuade him to join Princess Xueyin's marriage proposal team.

With his own understanding of Banyue's personality, he will not be controlled by beautiful women, on the contrary, he will control Princess Xueyin well and prevent her from making waves in Puguo.

At such a critical moment, of course, he had to win over Banyue and let him understand his mind.

I have a special habit, that is, to cook food myself, so in the dormitory, there will be this exclusive imperial dining room.

Only the person he values very much will personally cook for him.

These people combined, so far there are only 7, and Banyue is the 8th, so he is very lucky.

The reason why I invited Hanxiao to come with me was to persuade her to dismiss her with affection and reason, so that she could take the initiative to vacate the position for Princess Xueyin, and no longer harass Banyue.

I thought that Xiaoxiao was just a village girl, and it was very easy to pass away.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be such a moving and individual girl, no wonder she could make Banyue and the prince turn against each other, and the capital was full of storms.

When I saw her, I was moved with compassion and didn't want to hurt this girl easily.

--------------------------

The window was reopened, and Emperor Pu Xuan stood at the window, saw a smiling and sad expression, and said: "The rules in the palace are strict, you are new to the palace, it is better to be careful, come in." ”

When I entered with a smile, I was immediately attracted by the scene inside, and I couldn't help but wow.

It's so big, I've never seen such a big kitchen, and there are more than a dozen people busy.

But the kitchen is not like a kitchen, but a garden-like showroom.

The finest kitchen utensils are on display.

Even if it's a stove, it feels like a work of art with beautiful carving.

"Is this the famous Imperial Dining Room?" Hanxiao forgot her previous grief and indignation, and looked around curiously.

"No, it's not a dining room, it's just a small kitchen in the dormitory." The uncle seemed to be modest, but his tone was full of pride.

"It's a pleasure to be able to do things here."

"Really?" The uncle glanced back at the busy kitchen in the room and whispered, "I don't know if they enjoy it except us." ”

He thought that Hanxiao still didn't know his identity, and he was childlike and liked to joke with this lively little girl.

Seeing that the emperor didn't reveal his own identity, he continued to pretend to be confused, and soon had a hot fight with him, learning to cook with him, just like being a family.

Gonggong Li appeared at the door panting, and was about to speak, when he saw a smile, he was silent.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Li?" The uncle caught a glimpse of Gonggong Li and asked.

"Everyone is looking for the smiling girl, so it's here." Gonggong Li replied.

When he heard it with a smile, he suddenly remembered his companion: "Oops, Banyue must be in a hurry, right?" Then he turned to look for him.

"It's okay, with a smile," the uncle called to her, "let Banyue come here to play together." ”

"Don't," smiled as she approached her uncle and whispered in his ear, "if he knew, he would have punished me." ”

"Don't be afraid, there is an uncle here, he doesn't dare." The uncle said, and instructed Gonggong Li, "Go and find Banyue." ”

Pan Yue followed Gonggong Li to the small imperial dining room, and the starling suddenly spoke: "Handsome guy." Handsome guy. ”

Hanxiao giggled and said to the uncle, "This starling has lost his eyes." ”

"Do you think Banyue is not handsome?" Pu Xuanhuang asked.

"Is it called handsome with a straight face? It's no wonder if you don't scare people to death. I don't think he's as handsome as you, and the smile on your face is much more handsome than his. ”

Uncle laughed.

When Ban Yue came in and saw it, he was shocked, how could he be so presumptuous with a smile, kneading dough with the emperor?

I saw that the tip of her nose was also stained with flour, and half of her face had five clear finger prints.

What's going on?

He hurriedly knelt down: "The minister greets the saint." ”

smiled and pretended to wake up, put down the ball, and knelt down with Banyue.

"Get up, all of you." Pu Xuanhuang smiled and his voice was kind.

Banyue's hanging heart relaxed a little.

Smile is in constant trouble, but it always seems to be able to save the day, and I have to obey her good luck and wit.

"Banyue, do you know how to cook?" Pu Xuanhuang asked.

"Report to the emperor, the minister won't."

"Gotta learn. Come on, let's do it together. Emperor Pu Xuan commanded.

The imperial chef hurriedly sent an apron over to tie it to Banyue.

"A manly man must go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen. With a smile, give him the dough. Pu Xuanhuang said earnestly.

He is preparing for the next step of cultivating him to become a good husband of Princess Xueyin.

Banyue awkwardly joined the ranks of kneading dough.

"With a smile, you take the starling to the yo-yo corner for me." Emperor Pu Xuan sent him away with a smile.

"Okay." Smiling is happy to do this kind of beauty difference.

"Be careful, don't leave this courtyard, or I will recognize you, but others will not." Pu Xuanhuang reminded.

"Oh." Xiaoxiao felt that the slap on her face was still faintly feverish.

Ban Yue has always been curious about how her slap print came from, but she didn't dare to ask directly, so she just said vaguely: "Laughing and ignorant, behaving recklessly, please forgive the emperor." ”

Laughing outside and pouting, how could he say that about me. How am I ignorant? How reckless?

She took off the birdcage, and although she walked away, it was not very far, and she wanted to hear what bad things Banyue would say about herself.
