The British duke's love for Gu Xi naturally has nothing to say, and the enthusiasm he shows is also touching.

However, Gu Xi didn't need this enthusiasm.

Even the British Duke used the energy of cooking for himself in the imperial court, with a little effort and a few fewer fights, Gu Xi was willing to cook for the British Duke in turn.

The British public only saw the officials come to apologize and thought that Gu Xi was amazing.

He never knew the hardships of Gu Xi's game with these people.

Although Gu Xi did all this willingly.

After sending away the Ministry of Labor and his youngest son, Gu Xi couldn't hide his tiredness on his face.

The dismissal does not mean that there is no hope of a comeback.

In the end, Concubine Qi was pregnant, and Emperor Yan Wen did not completely lose trust in the Ministry of Works.

It's just a lesson for him.

Gu Xi pressed his temple, he didn't like the treacherous officialdom, and he didn't like to fight wits and courage with this group of old foxes.

But no one in the Gu family can do it except him.

In fact, if it weren't for recognizing the British Duke as his father, Gu Xi would not have been so difficult.

The prince of England brought him more trouble and trouble than honor.

"Isn't it delicious?"

The British male asked, and after Gu Xi shook his head, he put down his chopsticks: "It's really not delicious."

Gu Xi is unintentionally polite and hypocritical, his appearance is very poor, and his taste is even worse.

The British man's eyes gradually lost their brightness, "Then don't eat it, I'll learn from the cook."

Gu Xi suddenly thought of his former self, and every time he prepared a meal for his daughter, he expected to be complimented.

At that time, he retired and had a full and boring day of entertainment.

But the British public ...... He's lonely.

"Father is not good at cooking, so don't embarrass your hands."

Gu Xi grabbed the hand of the British duke and felt the callus on the palm, "Isn't there a cook at home?" If you want a change of taste, a different cuisine, I can go out and ask for a cook."

"Your heart and love for me don't need to be reflected in cooking, and I'm not a mouthful of words, so I don't pay so much attention to food."

"I can eat anything, I don't need to hire another cook."

The British public heart is not good, but Xi'er can still speak.

"If you really want to help me, why don't you fight with others less?"

Gu Xi pressed the wrist of the British duke, "Everyone knows that you have a hot temper, you don't have to worry about me suffering, I have my own way to deal with it, but you hit someone and fell into the handle, I need to back down...... For example, this time I also made concessions."

"Didn't the emperor condemn him and judge me innocent? He also came to the door to apologize, why do you need Xi'er to give in?"

"Father, not all the situations that show are the truth, he has been operating in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and I am about to go to the Ministry of Industry, let Shangfeng apologize to me, how can his colleagues who have been promoted and used for many years work together?"

"No matter how big my ability is, I can't do the work of a dozen people, and I also need subordinates and colleagues to help share it, not to mention that I have been in a hostile environment, I also need to be distracted to prevent my colleagues from stumbling on me, people's energy is limited after all, once someone catches an omission, what is the weight of me and you in front of Your Majesty, you also know in your heart."

“…… Emperor...... He doesn't like me, so it's not as important as Prince Taizu Tongrong."

Gu Xi let out a sigh of relief, and the British Duke also has a long brain.

Regret flashed in the eyes of the British prince, and he was ashamed of Gu Xi, "If Prince Rong is still here, Xi'er, I can give you more, now...... But it didn't work."

"Father."

"You let me finish." The British Duke looked at Gu Xi's young and handsome face very seriously, and became more and more guilty:

"I don't want you to be my biological son anymore, I will die sooner or later, the Taoist priest is gone, Lao Xia went to guard the tomb of Taizu, they took the initiative to beg, but I ...... Why can't the country that fought with Taizu enjoy glory and wealth?"

"Maybe sooner or later I will be ...... by Your Majesty After all, many of the old brothers I know well in the past two years are gone, and I endured it when I was a farmer, and when I became a British duke, I put up with his grandmother's legs!"

The British public is imposing, "People always have to die, and I would rather die in bed than be cautious and live with a horse."

Gu Xi lightly buckled the table, and the British Duke lowered his voice and said: "I left something to save your brother's life, but you are back, otherwise I would have handed it over to Ning Yuanhou."

"I'll give you ...... now"

"No, you don't."

Gu Xi said seriously: "You better keep it yourself, I can still handle it."

"Speak to me when you need it, if you use it well...... Your Majesty?"

The British Duke snorted, picked up the large bowl full of spirits, and drank it all, "God still has long eyes, I can't bear to let a good person like me die, give me back Xi'er."

"Xi'er, I just like the way that group of people are unhappy but can't kill me!"

"Kill them!"

Gu Xi "......"

The British public drank wine bowl by bowl, sang a minor tune, and chattered about the hard but warm years of conquest with the old brothers and Taizu.

None of the brutal wars can hide the brotherhood in it.

Gu Xi diligently poured wine for the British duke, but did not stop him from drinking.

He had experienced the loneliness of the English duke's age. The body is getting older, but the heart is still hot, and I am more willing to think about the previous years.

Good and bad.

It's a precious memory.

"Taizu regarded me as his own brother, closer than his own brother, and knew that I had a bad temperament, so he handed me over to Prince Rong...... It's a pity that Prince Rong went earlier than Taizu."

"That day, your sister insisted on marrying the fourth prince, and Taizu slapped me hard, saying that I was confused, and that I messed up his plan."

"In the end, Taizu agreed to this marriage, but he cut off my throne and the ...... in my hands Elite soldiers."

The British Duke was already drunk, leaning on Gu Xi's shoulder, breathing with a strong smell of alcohol.

He was drunk and misty, as if he had returned to the beginning, "The eldest brother said that it would hurt me to leave the elite soldiers to me again, ...... me."

"Who is the eldest brother in my father's mouth?"

"Brother Taizu, I call him big brother in private, and then he became the emperor, in order to change my problem of calling him big brother, shout once, and deduct me one hundred taels of silver! Later, when he saw that I didn't care about the silver, and if I shouted the wrong word, he would give my nemesis a hundred taels of silver."

"At that time, the civil servants and military generals who didn't deal with me made a fortune."

The British man lowered his eyelids to cover the dampness under his eyes, "I'm so angry."

Prince Rong is alive, and Taizu will not die of illness because of his pain.

Gu Xi stopped him from stepping forward to support the slave of the British duke, and he dragged the British duke to settle it with great difficulty.

When he put the British Duke on the bed, Gu Xi let out a sigh of relief and covered the quilt, the British Duke suddenly grabbed Gu Xi's hand:

"Although Taizu took away my soldiers, the emperor has a tiger talisman in his hand, but my soldiers only listen to me."

"Xi'er, my soldiers will be yours in the future."
