Qi Meng's idea, Han Jiang had expected it a long time ago, and it was also deliberately designed by him. Therefore, when the Malay newspaper came forward to say that more than 100 soldiers of the Dongyu Kingdom had died in one day, Han Jiang was not so surprised.
Qi Meng's army was frustrated, even if the others were still alive, but they vomited and diarrhea. After a few days, the body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to walk, let alone go into battle with a sword to kill the enemy.
The Dongyu army retreated, and King Chen was preparing to return to the dynasty in a few days, and Shangguan Tianyu also quickly defeated Nanchu because of the poisonous powder sent by Liuyue.
Finally, they all returned to Cloud City before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chu Lixue and King Chen took Hanjiang and a few retinues to the street to watch the lanterns. Coincidentally, there was an activity of guessing lantern riddles, which couldn't help but make Chu Lixue sound the lantern festival when she just crossed over, although it was not the New Year's Festival at that time, but the scene was not lost to the excitement of the Daughter's Day.
"Ning Xiang, do you remember Daughter's Day a few years ago? That year, my sister, my sister and Brother Feiyu were together in the teahouse to write poems with people and guess lantern riddles on the street. โ
"Of course I remember, my princess is so smart, she answered all the riddles correctly, and she even won a glass palace lamp." Ning Xiang said excitedly.
Thinking of what happened back then, Chu Lixue was a little indignant and said: "You don't know, my sister and I were guessing lantern riddles at the time, and then I heard someone behind me say that they would also participate, but the person said that this kind of low IQ thing is not suitable for me." Hmph, it's just swearing, as if we're all low-IQ people. โ
Looking at Chu Lixue's resentful little appearance, King Chen couldn't help but sigh, fortunately he didn't say that guessing lantern riddles was a low-IQ thing just now, otherwise he would definitely have been scolded by Chu Lixue.
"Lady, shall we guess the lantern riddle again today?" King Chen suggested with a smile.
"Forget it, how can that kind of low-IQ thing be suitable for King Chen." After speaking, Chu Lixue snorted, and then walked out. It turned out that Chu Lixue already knew about the incident when he was watching the lanterns back then, and he thought he was hiding it well.
Due to the excessive number of pedestrians on the street, Chu Lixue didn't have the heart to wander around the street, in such a cold weather, if she could eat a few bites of hot broth, it would be a very pleasant thing.
Back at the palace, the kitchen is busy making rice balls, which may be very rare if they are in ordinary people's homes, but for a person who doesn't like to eat rice balls, this is sad.
"Remnant Snow and Remnant Moon, go to the kitchen and find a cauldron and set up a fire in our yard to boil water. Ning Xiang and I went to the kitchen to find materials, and we will make hot pot tonight. Chu Lixue smiled lightly.
What the? Eating hot pot? What is this? Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, don't they all eat glutinous rice balls? What hot pot does the princess want to eat? Besides, what exactly is this hot pot? She'd never seen it before.
Rean Xue and Wanyue chose a pot in the kitchen, but they didn't choose a good one, Chu Lixue would say that it was a little small, and finally chose a pot that was not commonly used to fulfill Chu Lixue's wish.
Chu Lixue prepared some condiments such as chili, onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments in the kitchen, and then selected some simple vegetables such as green vegetables, tofu, mushrooms and so on in the kitchen.
Back in the small courtyard, Chu Lixue sprinkled all the seasoning condiments into the pot, and as the water boiled, the fragrance in the pot also floated out, and even King Chen and Hanjiang, who were reading books in the study and waiting for the rice balls, couldn't sit still.
"Is this what you eat called hot pot?" King Chen wondered.
"Yes, it's just that I've been in a hurry recently, and some things haven't been prepared, so I'll let you taste the authentic hot pot when I'm more fully prepared another day." Chu Lixue said with a smile.
Hearing this, King Chen secretly said in his heart, he can be fragrant in a hurry, so what if he is fully prepared? Shall you not bring in all the people of this half city?
"Princess, otherwise let's open a hot pot restaurant again. Many people have never tried such a novel way to eat. If we open a store like this, then business will definitely be booming. Ning Xiang smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Liuyue couldn't help but quip: "Ning Xiang really learns from whom, you have been with the princess for all these years, and you have learned to do business." โ
"Hmph, what's the matter, haven't you learned a lot by following the prince's side? Besides, my princess often takes me to check the business, and I can't learn the princess's skills, but I can still learn a little bit. Ning pinched his little finger and gestured in a gesture.
Chu Lixue looked at them like this, and then quipped: "I think you two are very compatible, otherwise I will choose a date with the prince for the two of you to marry." โ
"Princess, I don't want to marry him, you knock him out of a serious way, I don't want it." Ning Xiang blushed and jumped to her feet.
"Hey, Xiao Ningxiang, are I bad at your brother Liuyue? Why don't you want to marry me? If you marry me, then you don't have to be separated from your princess, and you can live in the palace with me, what a good thing. Liuyue said proudly.
Seeing this, everyone also began to coax, laughing and letting Ning Xiang and Liuyue get married as soon as possible, they were also so happy, and Ning Xiang's cheeks turned even redder for a while, and then ran back to the room with a smoke.
This time Liuyue was also in a hurry, and hurriedly knelt down at Chu Lixue, kowtowed again and again: "Princess, you know that I have always liked Ning Xiang, please, just marry Ning Xiang to me." I swear that I will treat her well and not let her be wronged in the slightest. โ
Chu Lixue looked at Liuyue's earnest appearance, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart, these two people obviously have each other in their hearts, but they still have to hide it, this love is a fair and honest thing, I really don't know what to be shy about, Ning Xiang, this girl is really, she has been by her side for so long, and she is still so shy.
Although Chu Lixue knew that Liuyue was sincere to Ning Xiang, she still wanted to make a joke with Liu Yue, "Liuyue, this Ning Xiang has been by my side since she was a child, and I have never treated her badly, and even if you let her marry you, but you have to let her really like you, why don't you do this, let's make a test and let Ning Xiang see how much you can take on for her, which will also make her feel at ease." What do you think? โ
"Okay, no problem, the princess and princess can be tempted as much as they want, I have no complaints." Liuyue made a swearing-by gesture.
Looking at his appearance, Chu Lixue really wanted to laugh, but she had to endure it. At this moment, Ning Xiang also heard the voice in the courtyard and walked out, and she was also very curious, what method would this prince and princess use to test Liuyue's sincerity to herself.
Chu Lixue saw that the two protagonists had already appeared, and there were so many people eating hot pot around the cauldron, if she didn't watch the show, wouldn't it be too boring?
"Liuyue, you see that this Ning Xiang is also there, you are sincere to her, right?"
"That's right, that's right."
"Well, I have a jar with a poisonous snake in it, and if you dare to put your hand in it and let it bite it, then I believe that you are true to Ning Xiang. Moreover, if you are bitten by this poisonous snake and you will be unable to recover within a quarter of an hour, in such a situation, are you still willing to try? โ
"Yes, where is the princess's altar? Liuyue is going to move now. Liuyue said loudly.
After a while, Chu Lixue asked Rean Xue to bring over a big jar, Rean Xue put the big jar on the ground, and when she put her hand into it during the preparation period of Liuyue, Ning Xiang finally couldn't help it, although the princess said that it was a temptation, what if there was really a poisonous snake in it?
"Don't." Ning Xiang twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly. Unexpectedly, Liuyue gave her a knowing smile, and immediately put her hand in without hesitation.
As soon as his hand reached into the jar, Liuyue touched the cold water, could it be a water snake? Immediately, Liuyue continued to probe into the water, and finally touched a slender and slender thing in the water, is this the snake that the princess said?
Just thinking about it, Chu Lixue said lightly, "Touched it?" Then take it out. โ
When Liuyue took the things out of the jar and took a closer look, it turned out that there was a yellow eel in the water. "Princess, didn't you say it was a snake? How is this a yellow eel? โ
"If I say it's a yellow eel inside, then what's the point?" Chu Lixue said lightly.
Chu Lixue was already stunned when she saw Liuyue, knowing that now this joke could not be made, and these people had no entertainment cells at all.
Things have developed to this point, King Chen had to hurry out to play a round, "Liuyue, it's the New Year's Day, fortunately, there is nothing to do, if Ning Xiang is willing to marry you, then King Ben will choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, so that the two of you can get married as soon as possible." โ
Hearing this, Liuyue set her eyes on Ning Xiang, hoping to wait for Ning Xiang to answer those three words, but Ning Xiang lowered her head and did not make any response. This made Liuyue a little anxious. Wanyue looked so awkward, and hurriedly pushed Ningxiang to Liuyue.
"Okay, okay, you two don't have to be so grinding, the prince and the princess have said that they will do happy things for you. If you continue to grind like this, happiness will be fleeting, and you two won't regret it then. โ
"Lord, if I marry Liuyue, can I still stay in the palace and serve my princess?" Ning Xiang asked weakly.
As soon as these words came out, King Chen choked on a sip of wine, "Ahem, cough, Ningxiang, Liuyue is still the king's guard, he can't leave the palace, do you still want to leave your princess?" โ
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, as long as I can still be with my princess, then I have nothing to worry about." Ning Xiang hurriedly waved his hand.
"Okay, then choose a good day for you to live in. There is also a small courtyard near the Pujia Pond in the south of this house, and after you get married, you little husband and wife will live there. King Chen said lightly.
This matter is finalized, Chu Lixue can also rest assured, now that there are endless wars around her, she will definitely let them be together, and she will definitely not let them regret it for life with tears in her eyes.
