After Su Nianjun left, Shen Xianhe looked at the mung bean crisp left on the table, remembering what he had just said, and his heart was full of anger.

Since he gave up on her at the beginning, why bother thinking about it like this, he walked quickly to the table and threw the rest of the mung bean crisp out, out of sight and out of mind.

But the bell girl who had finished the medicine walked in, holding the mung bean cake she had just thrown out, and looked at her in confusion.

"Miss, I don't know who threw the mung bean cake at the doorstep? When I passed by, it looked like it was still steaming, haven't you always loved to eat this? ”

Shen Xianhe looked at the mung bean cake in her hand speechlessly, a little crying and laughing, and the anger in his heart was discharged, and he explained weakly.

"I just sent someone to buy it and throw it out, so you can eat it if you want."

As he spoke, he walked up to the bell girl, patted her on the shoulder, and strode out.

The girl who left the bell was confused and took the mung bean crisp to eat, and it was not okay not to eat it.

Huo Biao, who had not entered the palace for a long time, was leisurely listening to music in the teahouse, and the eunuch sent by Chu Xi to announce his entry into the palace appeared in the teahouse where he listened to the music.

"General Huo, the emperor sent a servant to take you into the palace for an audience."

The eunuch who came to announce the decree said to Huo Biao with a flattering face, for fear that he would accidentally anger this irritable General Huo, who even the emperor dared to contradict.

Huo Biao lay on the lap of a servant girl, let the servant girl hand the grapes into his mouth, swallowed the grapes, and spit the grape seeds in his mouth into the handmaid's palm, then turned his head to look at the eunuch who was respectfully saluting.

"Did the emperor say something was wrong?"

"Returning to the general, Your Majesty has never revealed it, therefore, the slave does not know, and I ask the general to forgive me."

"Also, if the emperor doesn't want to say something, how can you know as a slave, okay, get up, this general will go with you."

"Thank you for the general's understanding, then the slave will go downstairs and wait first."

Huo Biao got up from the maidservant's lap and waved his hand to the eunuch while letting the other subordinates put on his shoes.

In this way, Huo Biao, who got into the carriage and went straight to the palace, missed the subordinates sent by Shen Xianhe to meet by chance.

At this time, in the imperial garden, Chu Xi was leaning on the stone fence to feed the carp full of ponds, and all kinds of carp were scrambling to squeeze forward because of his feeding, just thinking that they could eat the bait.

Looking at the way he was desperately squeezing forward, Chu Xi couldn't help laughing out loud and spoke.

"It's really funny, I used to be one of the carp in this pond who wanted to eat bait, but how long did it take me for the carp to jump over the dragon gate and become the person who feeds the bait, it's really surprising!"

The eunuch who followed him hurriedly stepped forward to flatter.

"Your Majesty, everything in the world is yours, but when you encounter some toads that don't have long eyes, they don't know how thick the sky is high and want to get in your way, you are the true son of heaven, and these toads will naturally not be in your eyes, and they will naturally not be able to jump for long."

"That's right, reward! I am the true Son of Heaven, and how can I be stopped by their ordinary people. ”

The eunuch who received Chu Xi's reward was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the slave is just telling the truth."

At this time, the eunuch who went to pass the message to Huo Biao led the lazy Huo Biao over.

"Back to Your Majesty, General Huo has already brought."

"Well, you all go down."

"See the emperor."

After Huo Biao saluted him, he sat aside.

After Chu Xi waved his hand to let the other subordinates retreat, he saw that Huo Biao had no rules and etiquette, and he didn't get his permission, so he sat on the stone chair next to him, looking at the pool behind him with an unruly look.

"Your Majesty, what is the matter with your Xuanchen entering the palace?"

Seeing him like this, Chu Xi was already surprised, anyway, only Huo Biao could ensure that this person was used by him, if he became obedient one day, then he really needed to worry about whether he had a disobedient heart.

"Look at you, whether you sit or not, and your shoes are not well worn, as a courtier, what is it like."

Although it was a reproachful word, there was no tone of rebuke in the tone, but some laughter in it.

Huo Biao turned around to look at the fish swimming in the pool, and where he couldn't see, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing a sarcastic look, and quickly disappeared.

"Your Majesty didn't know the minister today, the minister has always had no rules and no manners, besides, today is also because His Majesty disturbed the interest of the minister, the minister was originally in the restaurant eating the grapes fed by the beauty, listening to the song, very comfortable, His Majesty let the minister enter the palace, the minister did not dare to disobey, and he was afraid that His Majesty would wait for a long time, so he hurried here, and His Majesty should not blame the minister."

"Oh, it turned out that I disturbed Aiqing's Yaxing, so do I want to apologize to Aiqing?"

Chu Xi's tone was a little gloomy, although his face was still full of smiles.

Capturing this change, Huo Biao didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he quickly turned around and deliberately made a hippie smile.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to apologize, but if you reward the minister with some good wine, the minister will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty."

"You're a bit thick-skinned, I haven't cured you of your great disrespect, you still dare to ask me for a gift, if I don't reward you, won't you be grateful to me?"

The more Huo Biao had no scruples in front of him like this, the more relieved Chu Xi felt in his heart, what he needed was such a courtier, a courtier who knew how to ask for it, he would reveal his weaknesses, and with weaknesses, it would be more convenient for him to use.

"Your Majesty, the minister has always been like this, besides, it was Your Majesty that you said that you wanted to apologize to the minister, but the minister didn't say that, besides, even if you don't reward the minister, the minister will be grateful to you, but I feel a little sad in my heart."

"Okay, don't give me a poor mouth, it's not impossible to want a reward, but you have to wait until the discussion is over."

Chu Xi agreed to her a little helplessly.

"In this way, the minister thanked Your Majesty first, by the way, Your Majesty, what are you Xuanchen entering the palace for?"

After going around and around for so long, Huo Biao brought the topic to the main topic.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that you're not too young, you don't have a wife yet, you are the minister of my dynasty, and you often go to the battlefield, I heard that your mother is arranging marriages for you everywhere, but you bastard boy can't look at it left and right, in order not to worry about your mother and her family, which girl do you like, I will give you a marriage."

Hearing Chu Xi suddenly mention the marriage, Huo Biao was shocked, and his face remained unchanged.

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly mention the marriage of the minister?"

"It's not all of a sudden, it's just that you are not too young, and you can't go on in such a mess, and I'm really worried about your marriage."

Although I don't know what Chu Xi is calculating, but suddenly proposing to marry him, there must be some conspiracy, when did their majesty have such good intentions.

"Your Majesty, even if you are worried about the minister and want to marry the minister, but the minister has not found the girl he likes, so your marriage may have to wait a little longer."

Chu Xi's eyes became a little unkind, and he glanced at him meaningfully, and then slowly spoke.

"Women? It doesn't matter how much you like, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but you can't be sloppy in your marriage, I think you need to find a wife who is the right match for you to manage the family business for you, and when you are not in Beijing, a woman who can take good care of your mother for you. ”

Huo Biao couldn't help sneering in his heart, it turned out that he was waiting for him here, what he said about worrying about his lifelong events and wanting to marry him, it was just an excuse, the purpose was to use him to marry and consolidate his rights, but unfortunately, he was destined not to let him get his wish.

"Your Majesty is too worried, the minister's mother is still quite tough, and she has to use three bowls for dinner every day, and the minister sometimes sighs to herself, she is an old man, and she doesn't need anyone to take care of her at all, although men have always been three wives and four concubines, but the minister's father and mother have a couple for a lifetime, and the family rules have also made it clear that the Huo family must also follow the rules that can only marry one wife in his life, because the dispute between wives and concubines has ruined the Huo family, so the family rules set by the ancestors, the minister dare not disobey."

Chu Xi's face became even more ugly, and his tone faintly revealed dissatisfaction.

"In that case, doesn't Aiqing have no favorite object? I am going to marry you and the daughter of the Gu family of the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, this woman I have already investigated, and I am the most knowledgeable, if I marry you in the future, I will definitely be able to make peace with you, so. It's also a wish of mine. ”

Gu family girl?

When he heard these three words, Huo Biao's heart flashed over Shen Xianhe's face, but when he reacted, he was frightened by this ridiculous idea, no matter what happened, Chu Xi would not be able to marry him and Shen Xianhe.

"Your Majesty, although this daughter of the Gu family and the minister are also considered to be a good match, but Your Majesty, you also know that the minister has always disdained to deal with this kind of family, and he despises them the most in his heart, not to mention the character of this daughter of the Gu family, just because she is the daughter of the Gu family, the minister will not treat her differently, but will only be full of disgust, if His Majesty wants to marry the daughter of the minister and the Gu family, the minister will not agree, but he is afraid of becoming an enemy, when the time comes, when the Gu family has a grudge against me, I am afraid that he will also have resentment towards His Majesty."
