Xia Muyao was a little relieved, and she didn't ask more, anyway, she didn't understand these men's affairs, as long as Huerhe said that he wouldn't leave her often.

A few days later, Hu Hao returned to Yancheng.

After returning to Yancheng, Huhao came to Huerhe's courtyard for dinner.

Xia Muyao was also at the table at first, and after dinner, she retired first.

Hu Hao looked at the back of Xia Muyao leaving, turned back to Hu Erhe and said, "My brother and sister's complexion doesn't look very good."

"Yao'er is pregnant again, and she doesn't sleep well these days and nights, and she doesn't have much appetite for food, which is a little hard." Huerhe said in a reluctant tone.

Hearing that Xia Muyao was pregnant again, Hu Hao couldn't help laughing, and said to Hu Erhe: "My son is not yet a year old, and my younger brother and sister are pregnant again, my body will not be able to stand it, cousin, you should be restrained in the future."

Hu Hao has always cared about Xia Muyao, and Huerhe knows it, but Hu Hao protects Xia Muyao like this, which still makes Huerhe a little uncomfortable, so he said lightly: "I am naturally measured in the matter of me and Yao'er, cousin doesn't have to worry too much."

Hu Hao laughed again, but he didn't care much, and then took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Huerhe, "This is the silver tael for the purchase of Youtai, you keep it." ”

Huerhe glanced at the number on the silver ticket, a lot of money, but he didn't take it, although Huhao said that he would buy this house with silver, but Huerhe gave Huhao the Youtai to Huhao.

Seeing that Huerhe did not accept the silver ticket, Hu Hao said: "Huan'er is my righteous son, and this silver tael is considered to be my return."

Huerhe shook his head, understood Huhu's thoughts, and said: "I am still young, and I don't need so much silver taels, so you live in that house, cousin, and you have to buy it, but you and I have a brotherhood, although I no longer have an official position, but I am not short of silver."

Hu Hao sighed, and also knew Huerhe's temperament, so he was no longer reluctant, and only said: "If there is a place where you can get silver taels in the future, tell me."

Good. Huerkh nodded.

"Now is the time of peace, if there is really a war in the future, Brother Wang will still rely on you." There was silence for a moment, and then Hu Hao said again.

"Beihu is full of talents, and without me Huerhe, it won't be impossible." Huerhe said lightly.

Hu Hao smiled, "You and I know how many generals there are in Beihu, there are many soldiers who can fight, but it is difficult to find a thousand generals who can lead troops to fight, this time Brother Wang is also unspeakable, first, you don't give Brother Wang face, and secondly, Brother Wang must also give Botuo an explanation, after a while, this matter will subside, and there will still be a turnaround." ”

"Let's talk about it later, I think it's good now, I can accompany Yao'er more." Huerhe was very indifferent to whether he would regain control of military power in the future and whether he would become a vassal king again. He didn't value these titles.

Hu Hao stopped talking, raised the wine bowl and said to Huerhe: "Of all the brothers in our royal family, I am most convinced of you."

Huerhe also raised the wine bowl and touched it with Huhu, without saying a word, and drank it all.

After the wine was dispersed, it was already late at night, and Huerheliu Huhao lived in another courtyard, but Huhao shook his hand and smiled with a slightly drunken smile: "The night is long and cold, I want to find a warm place for my brother, Luo Li is still waiting for me in the secluded platform."

Hearing Huhao's words, Huerhe didn't stay anymore, and watched Huhao leave, before turning around and going back to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Xia Muyao had already slept, and Huerhe looked at her well-behaved appearance when she fell asleep, and her heart was full of warm happiness.

***

Dakang. Palace.

The secret report of the Yancheng spy came again, and it was the matter of Huerhe's opening of a dart game.

Zhao Yuanting looked at the secret report, smiled inexplicably, his feelings about Huerhe were a little complicated, Huerhe was his rival in love, but he was also a person he admired, if he didn't believe him, Zhao Yuanting would never entrust Xia Muyao to him.

Putting down the secret report, Zhao Yuanting walked out of the imperial study and went to the harem. The pregnant concubines in the harem have entered the waiting period, Zhang Yaxian is now pregnant, and she can't take care of these concubines in the harem.

When Zhao Yuanting went to the harem, and sat at the concubine who was about to give birth for a long time, there were several concubines dressed in fancy clothes twisting the waist of the willows.

Zhao Yuanting looked at it, this concubine was all tender and lovely, everyone wanted to try their best to please him, and he was quite emotional for a while, he was in the midst of the flowers, but what he was thinking about was the cold wild lily on the edge of the cliff, he could dominate everything in the world, but this matter, he couldn't ask for it. Powerless.

Huerkh, do you know how much I envy you. How much I hate you.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have practiced a dance during this time, when do you have time to sit in the palace of the concubines, and the concubines will dance for you." Seeing that Zhao Yuanting's face was silent in a trance, a concubine said softly.

Zhao Yuanting smiled rarely, nodded and said yes.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has also got a new tune, when you have time, you can also sit in the palace of the concubine, and the concubine will play it for you." Zhao Yuanting's rare kindness made these concubines a little bolder, and some concubines volunteered.

"It's okay, I'll go to your dormitory more often these days." Zhao Yuanting responded one by one, and his amiable attitude made these concubines a little unaccustomed, they glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Zhao Yuanting sat for a while, and then went to Zhang Yaxian's Fengyi Palace.

Zhao said Zhao Yuanting, did not run over, but shrank behind Zhang Yaxian, Zhang Yaxian saw it, her heart was a little unhappy, and secretly said that it was a little childish, but her face was still smiling, and she said softly to Zhao Yi: "Yi'er, go and see your father."

Zhao Yi was taken by his grandmother and sent to Zhao Yuanting, and greeted him with a salute.

Zhao Yuanting bent over and hugged Zhao Yi, "Let me see, have you been heavy these days." ”

Zhao Yi's eyes widened and looked at Zhao Yuanting vigilantly, what Zhao Yuanting said to him, he looked frightened, because since he was a child, most of the people in his life were only palace maids, Mama and Zhang Yaxian, he had fewer opportunities to see Zhao Yuanting, and he was a little strange to him.

Seeing that Zhao Yi had been staring at his frightened eyes, Zhao Yuanting couldn't help but feel a little surprised, so he handed Zhao Yi to Mama, and then chatted with Zhang Yaxian for a few thoughtful words.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhao Yuanting left Fengyi Palace and returned to the imperial study, and the twists and turns piled up on the case wordlessly reminded him that major events in the world were waiting for him to make decisions, he had no time to miss and heartache, the love of children was too extravagant, and as an emperor, he had no qualifications for the love of children.

***

In winter, Xia Muyao's fetal image stabilized, and her abdomen bulged with a lovely slight arc for more than three months. But Xia Muyao became more and more diligent, in the past, the vassal prince's mansion was too large, she had never been to the dining room, this time when she was wandering around the mansion without anything, she actually saw the subordinates in the dining room pickling pickles for the winter, looking at the large vats placed in the courtyard of the dining room, Xia Muyao curiously stayed in the courtyard of the dining room for a long time.

When Huerhe came back, Xia Muyao talked to Huerhe about the process of pickling vegetables that he saw in the afternoon. A sauerkraut can be turned into sauerkraut or spicy spicy sauerkraut in the past, and she only knew how sauerkraut and spicy spicy weads were made this time.

Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao, who was full of interest, and smiled slightly, she was getting happier and happier, which made him happy.

The days were no different from before, but more peaceful and peaceful.

During the Spring Festival, the courtyard was really lively for several days, which can be regarded as filling the regret that the Mid-Autumn Festival was not celebrated due to the reduction of the position of the vassal king.

The entire courtyard of the annex was covered with red lanterns, and the people received twice as much as they had in the feudal palace. Huhao came over to have a reunion dinner with Huerhe and Xia Muyao to spend Chinese New Year's Eve.

When the fireworks were set off, Huerhe took Xia Muyao to the attic as usual, hugged her in his arms, and watched together.

"Last year, I was also pregnant, and we hugged each other to watch the fireworks like this." Xia Muyao looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky and said to Huerhe.

"Time flies too fast," Huerhe couldn't help but feel, "Yao'er, you are by my side, time always flies." ”

Xia Muyao turned her head, stretched out two small hands to touch Huerhe's cheeks, and said affectionately: "You grow old slowly, I grow up quickly, and we will grow old together."

Inexplicably, Huerhe's nose is sour, he is 15 years older than Xia Muyao, if he gets old, she should be very sad when she is alone in this world.

"With Yao'er by my side, I don't dare to grow old." Huerhe grabbed Xia Muyao's little hand, put it on his mouth and kissed it, and said softly.

Xia Muyao's nose was also sour, and then she stood on tiptoe and kissed Huerhe's cheek.

Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao's little face gently, and only felt that life had been perfect so far.

Hu Hao was still under the attic, looking up at Huerhe and Xia Muyao in the attic, under the reflection of the red lantern, the figure of the two snuggling together was enviable, this situation and this scene seemed familiar, last year and today, the same.

"And I'm still alone." Hu Hao smiled and sighed, and then looked up at those gorgeous fireworks, for some reason, Huerhe and Xia Muyao's love and dependence made him feel endlessly lonely.

Because Chinese New Year's Eve was to keep the New Year, Xia Muyao stayed up until midnight, and when the New Year's bell of the temple was heard in the distance, Xia Muyao blindfolded her eyes and stretched out her little hand to Huerhe: "Husband, Happy New Year."

Huerhe bent over and kissed Xia Muyao's forehead, took out the purse that had been prepared for a long time, and put it in Xia Muyao's hand, "Your New Year's silver, my Yao'er is a year older, and she is 18 years old this year." ”

Xia Muyao grinned, put away her New Year's silver, and patted the bed next to her, "Come on, go to sleep, I'm sleeping." ”
