When did my father become so weak?

Could it be that he has not entered the palace recently and has lacked care for his father?

The ministers also gathered together in twos and threes to leave, Xuanyuan Qi smiled, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness King Hao, I have conceded!" After speaking, he held his head high and laughed arrogantly, and there was no trace of worry about the emperor in his eyes.

The two of them glanced at each other, and then staggered their gazes, and a touch of unwillingness rose in Xuanyuan Hao's heart.

Why does my father often listen to and believe and can't see the situation clearly?

Back in the mansion, as soon as Xuanyuan Hao stepped into his courtyard, he smelled the curling aroma of rice, and he couldn't help rubbing his empty abdomen.

The smell is different from what you usually get from the kitchen, and it smells appetizing.

The tip of his nose moved slightly, and his pace unconsciously quickened.

The previous sense of depression in the court was suddenly lost, and the cold face melted away like a spring breeze, and the corners of his lips were still slightly curved.

"Princess, are you waiting for this king to dine together?"

When he walked into the house, he saw Shen Ruoxiao reading a book on the chaise longue, with a table full of delicacies next to him, and he couldn't help but feel good.

Hearing the footsteps, Shen Ruoxiao closed the book and got up with a smile, "I estimated the time, the meal is ready, come, taste whether my cooking skills have improved." ”

Xuanyuan Hao deliberately gave a cold "um", but the slightly upturned corners of his mouth still betrayed his heart.

The dishes on the table are very rich, with eight dishes and two soups, each of which is full of color and flavor.

The dishes are six meat and two vegetarian, and the green vegetables look very refreshing, and Xuanyuan Hao can't help but swallow his saliva.

He sat on the chair busily and glanced at the table with a pretentious gesture, "The princess's craftsmanship is becoming more and more exquisite, and this king is willing to be a diner." ”

The night was already a little dark, and the candles had already been lit, swaying brightly, reflecting the warmth of the hall.

Xuanyuan Hao unconsciously looked at the woman opposite, and under the warm yellow light, the woman's curved eyebrows and eyes became even softer.

The sleeves of her dressroom moved down a little, revealing a white jade-like lotus arm, and the delicate skin on her wrists glowed in the candlelight.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Hao was stunned, Shen Ruoxiao hurriedly raised his chopsticks and shook them twice in front of his eyes, "What's the daze, how is my cooking skills, you can try it!" ”

After Shen Ruoxiao took a bite of food, his cheeks were bulging, he didn't care about the image, and stared at Xuanyuan Hao with anticipation.

This guy can't be overly hungry, right?

"Okay," Xuanyuan Hao nodded, picked up a piece of crispy pork ribs and tasted it carefully, his eyes were full of admiration: "It's very good, it's even better than last time." ”

Shen Ruoxiao suddenly smiled, with a little green cabbage leaf on his teeth, looking a little funny.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but purse his lips and smile lightly.

Shen Ruoxiao suddenly looked at him a little strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Ahem," Xuanyuan Hao hid the embarrassment on his face, stretched out his hand and waved, "You are mistaken, where is this king smiling?" ”

Shen Ruoxiao didn't give up, and held down Xuanyuan Hao's chopsticks, "Say, what happened today that made you laugh so happily." ”

Xuanyuan Hao's originally soft face suddenly turned cold, Shen Ruoxiao watched his changes, the smile on his face stiffened, and his eyes rolled a little unnaturally.

She shouldn't have hit the muzzle of a gun, right?

"It's not about you." Xuanyuan Hao said, "Today, the king and Xuanyuan Qi in the court have some political disagreements, and they are a little unpleasant. ”

"Political disagreement?" Shen Ruoxiao became more and more curious, so he simply moved the stool to Xuanyuan Hao's side and got closer to him, "Tell me about it!" ”

Seeing that Shen Ruoxiao was so curious, he told all about today's events, no matter how big or small, and there was nothing to hide.

After Shen Ruoxiao listened, he couldn't help but be speechless, but he was a little indignant, "Xuanyuan Qi is paying attention to what bullshit!" This is simply a meat bun beating a dog. ”

Cutting the city and sending food, what is the difference between the court doing this and going crazy?

Gu A's people are barbaric, and they are not people who will be safe and secure when they get benefits, and doing so will provoke a deeper intention to snatch in their hearts, which will only backfire.

Hearing Shen Ruoxiao's foul mouth, Xuanyuan Hao stared at Shen Ruoxiao with shocked eyes, "This king didn't know that the princess still had such a frank side!" ”

"That's, there are a lot of things you don't know," Shen Ruoxiao raised her eyebrows, and raised her delicate little face arrogantly, "Don't talk about these things, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's expression became solemn, "I'm afraid that the battle that should be fought will still be fought at that time." ”

"Do you really want to fight?" Shen Ruoxiao became serious, and the worry in his eyes gradually poured out, "Fighting a war is very laborious and costly, but if it really starts, I can give you some support for military expenses." ”

"Huh?" Xuanyuan Hao raised his eyebrows with some curiosity, "What do you mean?" ”

In the woman's opinion, the war and military expenses are not a small amount, where did she get the funds? 04

Shen Ruoxiao hooked his mouth mysteriously, and the chopsticks stopped on the soup bowl after two laps in front of him before he stopped and knocked on the soup bowl, "Lord Wang, shouldn't you forget the restaurant I opened?" The business of the shop is very good, I have opened some branches all over the capital, and I have made more and more money, and now I have accumulated some money, if I really need it at that time, I can use it to recruit troops. ”

"You...... Do you really think so? Xuanyuan Hao couldn't understand the woman in front of him anymore, and his eyes were full of amazement.

She is such a greedy person, and she can be so generous for the sake of the country, but ordinary men may not be able to do it.

Xuanyuan Hao's eyes were very hot when he looked at Shen Ruoxiao, and a sense of joy that had never risen in his heart before.

This woman should have been raised in the boudoir and learned the way of husband and children, but she is strong in martial arts, strong in medicine, and even proficient in business, which is really incredible!

Seeing Xuanyuan Hao's questioning, Shen Ruoxiao pursed his mouth and gnawed on the ribs with an unhappy face, "Xuanyuan Hao, you don't underestimate people, although this Da Chu is your Xuanyuan family, but it is also the home of our ordinary people, does the country have difficulties and responsibilities?" ”

A good sentence: the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible!

Xuanyuan Hao was about to say something more, when the sound of hurried footsteps came into his ears, and Liu Tingxi gasped and walked in with an anxious face.

"Meet the Lord, Princess." She saluted, then knelt on the ground, looking very anxious.

"Lord, princess, concubine body doesn't want to come and disturb you when you are eating, but there is an emergency at home, and both parents are sick and lying on the bed, and they are dying."

When she said this, she couldn't help crying, barely holding back the sourness in her heart, and choked up: The concubine begged the prince to let the concubine go back to visit relatives. ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruoxiao's nose was sour, and he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and stepped forward to help Liu Tingxi up, "It is natural for children to serve their parents, not to mention that they should be filial piety before lying on the bed." ”

After comforting Liu Tingxi, Shen Ruoxiao pushed Xuanyuan Hao, who was frowning slightly, "Lord Wang, Sister Liu is also too anxious in her heart, so she came in such a hurry, why don't you give her a few more days off and let her go back to accompany her parents." ”

Xuanyuan Hao was a little impatient, stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, "Go, this king will give you a month's leave, but you can do your filial piety as a child." ”

These two women take him too lightly, don't they? He's not a real ice bump, and he understands the sophistication of the world.

What's more, he didn't care much about Liu Tingxi at all, even if he asked him to send her out now, he wouldn't blink an eye.

Liu Tingxi was overjoyed and kowtowed excitedly, "Thank you, princess!" ”

"Okay, Sister Liu, you go down to pack your things first, and go back to visit your parents quickly." Shen Ruoxiao was busy patting Liu Tingxi's back to soothe her emotions.

There was a lot for dinner, and Shen Ruoxiao's stomach was full and uncomfortable, so he walked around the palace at will, intending to eat.

She swayed slowly in the courtyard, feeling the wind and savoring the moon hanging high overhead.

The beautiful scenery is comparable to a painting, with a sense of comfort.

"It's so comfortable." Shen Ruoxiao sighed softly.

This atmosphere has a feeling of quiet years and a beautiful life, which really makes people greedy and want to sink into it!

Before she knew it, she stopped outside Xuanyuan Hao's courtyard, and there was a burst of fragrance in the courtyard, which was refreshing.

The gate was open, and Shen Ruoxiao was instantly attracted by the two blooming begonia trees planted in the yard.

This is Xuanyuan Hao's yard, she didn't come much, but she didn't expect him to have a lot of taste.

A short time after entering, she saw a tall plane tree in the courtyard, and then her tiptoes landed on one of the branches.

It's a nice place, a great place to enjoy the scenery!

Just as she was comfortably stretching out her hand and lying on the branch behind her head, she suddenly heard the voice of a squirming woman in the courtyard, she turned her eyes and couldn't help frowning.

Concubine Lu? What is she looking for Xuanyuan Hao to do so late?

"Lord Wang, the concubine made ginseng soup for you." Concubine Lu knocked on Xuanyuan Hao's door with the soup cup.

"Come in!" Xuanyuan Hao's low magnetic voice came from inside the room, and he couldn't hear his emotions.

Concubine Lu pinched the plate in her hand and walked in nervously, her white and tender face was dyed with a touch of crimson, and her eyes were a little evasive.

She exhaled softly, plucked up the courage to raise her head, and looked at the man in front of her, "Lord Wang......"

"Well, I've worked hard to love the concubine, let it go!" Xuanyuan Hao looked at the book without raising his head.

Hearing this, Concubine Lu looked disappointed, and then she tightened her palms, put down the plate, and said softly: "Lord, the concubine has been in the mansion for a while, but she has not served the prince!" ”

The tone was soft, with a little expectation in her eyes, and she began to untie her clothes, and as most of the pure white middle coat was exposed, Xuanyuan Hao raised her eyes and pressed her wrist.

"That...... Aifei, what are you doing here? ”

"The concubine is waiting for the prince to go to bed!" As she spoke, Concubine Lu lowered her eyes, her face flushed like blood.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao's eyes were not a little cramped, "Don't worry, this king has some official documents to be processed urgently today, so Concubine Ai should go back first!" ”

Concubine Lu is a very duty-abiding woman in his backyard, and she is knowledgeable.

In order to let him treat her well, her sister even went to marry Xuanyuan Qi and make him an internal response.
