"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Xia Muyao's eyes were a little dazed, Huerhe couldn't help asking.

Xia Muyao hurriedly shook her head, "It's nothing, too many things have happened recently, and I'm a little tired, now it's okay, we can live a peaceful life in the future, right?" ”

"Well, after we go to the other courtyard to settle down, I will take you and Huan'er to Hongcheng, now that there is no military affairs entangled, you can live for a longer time." Huerhe stroked Xia Muyao's smooth skin and said softly.

"Okay." Xia Muyao said, stretched out her arm to wrap her arms around Huerhe's neck, the white and tender scenery on her chest was unobstructed, Xia Muyao did not dodge, took the initiative to stick to Huerhe, and kissed him on the lips.

Huerhe smiled heartily, then grabbed the back of Xia Muyao's head and kissed it hard.

Xia Muyao responded to Huerhe's kiss, and a coquettish sound sounded in her throat. Huerhe heard this voice, and hugged her tighter and closer, they were glued together, no matter how many things happened, as long as they were still together, they would still be a sweet existence.

***

Three days later, Huerhe took Xia Muyao and Huan'er to the other courtyard. The gate of the vassal king's palace slowly closed from behind, and the people of the palace bowed respectfully to Huerhe, and then put a seal on the door.

Most of the maidservants, housekeepers, and nurses in the family resigned, but there were still a few particularly outstanding subordinates, including the housekeeper, the chef in the dining room, Xiaoda, Qingyun who has been serving Xia Muyao, and the nurse who has been taking care of Xiao Shizi.

After settling down in the courtyard, Xia Muyao counted the number of subordinates in the family, although it was streamlined, there were still more than a dozen, she actually began to calculate the wages of these subordinates, and then asked Huerhe worriedly, is it impossible to use so many subordinates?

"Worried I won't be able to pay them?" Huerhe saw through Xia Muyao at a glance and couldn't help but smile, "Yao'er, although I have no official position, I can still cope with the matter of supporting my family." ”

Xia Muyao said no more, Huerhe had a kind of believable temperament, which made her feel at ease.

"Ming'er, let the painter come, let's paint a portrait in this courtyard, and then we will leave for Hongcheng to live for a while." Huerhe said to Xia Muyao while hanging the portrait of him and Xia Muyao in the bedroom.

In the past, Xia Muyao may still be a little resistant to portraits, because it is too boring to sit for a few hours. But now, after her separation from Huerhe, she hopes to paint more portraits so that she can have more good memories in the future.

After everything was settled, Huerhe took Xia Muyao's little hand and walked around the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, but there are four entrances and four exits, a small pond, the pond is very deep, there are green aquatic plants in it, and a few fat golden carp, Xia Muyao sat on the boulder of the pond, leaning over to look at those fish.

Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao's gentle complexion, and was relieved in his heart, Xia Muyao now has almost no cold face as before.

"But this pond is so deep, you can still walk in the future, so you have to ask the nurse to be careful." After looking at it for a while, Xia Muyao couldn't help but worry again.

"What Yao'er said is, turn around and tell the nurse, don't come to this pond with your child in your arms." Huerhe responded, and then stretched out his hand to Xia Muyao, "Go back, it's cool." ”

"Tonight, we went to Gongzi An's balcony for dinner, and he carefully prepared wine and food, saying that he wanted to congratulate us on the joy of moving." Huerhe said, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, I am afraid that only An Gongzi will be at this time in this world, and he still thinks that this is the joy of moving.

"In the past, I thought that you and Gongzi An, one was handsome and handsome, and the other was mighty and domineering, but I really didn't understand why you became confidants, but now I know a little, the so-called confidant is to abandon all the shackles of material and identity, and only look at whether your temperament and mind are similar, right?" Xia Muyao also smiled softly.

"That's a good point." Huerhe responded in a deep voice, and cast an approving glance at Xia Muyao.

***

In the evening, Huerhe took Xia Muyao to the opera garden, and went to the balcony in the backyard through the opera garden.

An Gongzi stood on the platform in a long moon-white cloak, Xia Muyao stepped on the stairs and looked up, and couldn't help whispering to Huerhe: "To be honest, An Gongzi is really a handsome man, but why is such a man so cold around him?"

Hearing Xia Muyao praise An Gongzi for being rich and handsome, Huerhe pretended to be displeased and glanced at Xia Muyao, which made Xia Muyao giggle and said softly: "Don't be so stingy, An Gongzi is indeed handsome."

"Then you are not allowed to say it, see how I clean you up when I go back." Huerhe replied in a low voice.

An Gongzi turned his head and looked at the end of the stairs, Huerhe and Xia Muyao muttered and laughed all the way up the stairs, the joy in the corners of Huerhe's eyes and eyebrows remained unchanged, sure enough, the official throne is nothing to him, as long as he has Xia Muyao by his side, he is still happy and comfortable.

"Tell the dining hall to serve the food." An Gongzi instructed the maidservant on the side.

Then he stepped forward, saluted Huerhe and Xia Muyao, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and led the two into the house. Usually, Gongzi An and Huerhe both drank together outside the building, this time because Xia Muyao was there, Gongzi An arranged dinner in the house, but he was afraid that the cold of the autumn night outside would make Xia Muyao catch a cold.

The three of them entered the house and sat down, the maidservant brought the dinner to the table one by one, although the dishes were not numerous, but they were all exquisite, An Gongzi also had extremely strict requirements for porcelain, and the plates and dishes he used to serve the dishes were all from the Dakang official kiln, which was exquisite, and the dishes made people feel more and more appetizing.

During the banquet, Huerhe talked about his plans to go to Hongcheng in a few days, and asked An Gongzi if he would go with him, if it was before, An Gongzi would definitely refuse, but this time, he also wanted to go out for a walk to ease the nerves that had been running around for a while, so he nodded yes.

The dinner was very quiet, Xia Muyao rarely spoke, only Huerhe and An Gongzi chatted softly, and occasionally drank a bowl.

Xia Muyao, at the instigation of Huerhe, actually drank a bowl of wine. The liquor was like fire, and as soon as it entered her throat, it burned all the way to her stomach, Xia Muyao frowned, stuck out her tongue, and shouted spicy.

Huerhe laughed like a prank on the side, took a bite of food and handed it to Xia Muyao's mouth, "Come, eat, it's not spicy." ”

Xia Muyao opened her mouth to eat, and then she felt relieved, and then glanced at Huerhe.

An Gongzi looked at them from the other side, smiling slightly, most couples in this world can only respect each other as guests, but they don't know what it's like to love each other, and the Huerhe couple's daily little affection, he thinks it's the best.

After a bowl of wine, Xia Muyao has been in a dizzy state, her little face is red, but her courage has increased, she poured a bowl of wine, saluted An Gongzi, and thanked him for standing up when she was in danger, although she knew that An Gongzi was rushing for affection with Huerhe, but she still had to thank him.

An Gongzi got up and drank a bowl of wine.

Xia Muyao was also arrogant, and drank all the wine in the bowl, this glass of wine was down, Xia Muyao became even more dizzy, she only felt excited, and looked at Huerhe with her chin in her hands and a smile, "Will you carry me back in a while?" ”

Huerhe responded and asked Xia Muyao to eat more, but Xia Muyao was already full, and stood on the platform alone, looking up at Qingyue.

"This little thing is a little drunk." Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao's figure and smiled to himself.

Gongzi An also smiled, "The affection between you and the princess is really enviable." ”

Although Huerhe is no longer a vassal king, Gongzi An is still used to calling Xia Muyao the princess.

"No matter how much prosperity and power there is in the world, it is only when one person is with him for life that he feels warm," Huerhe said, paused for a while, and said: "But it is not easy to live with a person who loves each other, and I only learned after I met Yao'er that I could let go of my rights for a woman."

"Cheers to your luck." An Gongzi raised the wine bowl and said with sincere envy.

***

Coming out of the opera garden, it was not yet late at night, but there were not many pedestrians on the street. Huerhe and Xia Muyao did not take the carriage, but walked through the market holding hands.

"It's like we've never walked in the market like this." Xia Muyao, who had drunk the wine, was still excited.

"Are you stupid? I have accompanied you to see the red leaves in Hongcheng, and I have also seen the light market in Yancheng, how can you say that you have not walked in the market? Huerhe retorted softly.

"That's not counted, the streets are full of people, it's really boring, this is called walking, thousands of lights, sparsely populated streets, two people hand in hand, walking slowly......" Xia Muyao said, her voice lowered, "This kind of day, I never dreamed of before." ”

"Do you like these days?" Huerhe asked softly.

"yes, I like it." Xia Muyao nodded solemnly at Huerhe, and then shouted loudly on the empty street: "I like this kind of day so much."

Huerhe didn't stop Xia Muyao, just smiled slightly, and accompanied her all the way back to the courtyard.

Back in the other courtyard, Huerhe and Xia Muyao went to Huan'er's room, but Huan'er had already slept, so they returned to their dormitory, and after a simple bath, they went to bed to rest.

Although she cleaned her mouth, when Xia Muyao spoke, there was still a smell of wine in her mouth, and Huerhe couldn't help but regret a little when she saw her dizzy appearance, he shouldn't have instigated her to drink, for fear that she would wake up tomorrow and feel a headache.

Huerhe took out the sobering medicinal oil and rubbed it on Xia Muyao's temples, but Xia Muyao instead grabbed Huerhe's neck and exhaled like a blue road: "Huerhe, we should celebrate our joy of moving today."

Huerhe held back a smile in his heart and asked, "Oh, how do you want to celebrate?"

Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe with misty eyes, and then smiled, "Let's have another candle night in the cave room." ”

After speaking, Xia Muyao pouted and kissed Huerhe, and then threw Huerhe on the bed, and the whole person fell into Huerhe's arms.
