Chapter 654: A Sour Smell
It is no secret in Chu that the wise king is in charge of the army and sometimes governs by the way. The wise king is the real person in power in Chu.
The New Year's Eve virtuous king came to their Andinghou's mansion with his family and his family, and the magistrate Desu was flattered by his appearance of eating dinner, so he quickly stretched out his hand to invite him in. ,
Concubine Xian took Zheng Wan'er to Su Qian's warm pavilion. Zheng Wan'er was not a martial arts practitioner, and her body was not as good as Su Qian's.
Su Qian was also very happy to see Zheng Wan'er. Normally, there are not many friends in the capital that she can make friends with. Zheng Wan'er is one of them. But she never expected that Princess Xian would bring Zheng Wan'er here on New Year's Eve, which made Su Qian feel very sad. Surprised, the three chatted happily in the Snapper.
Wan'er was dragged away by her mother and concubine, Xiao Ye felt that it was not safe to stay with her father at this time, so she hurriedly used the excuse of going to the kitchen to help, and slipped away with oil on her feet.
Xiao Ruxue naturally ran over to play with Xu Qing.
As new people were added to the New Year's Eve dinner table, Xuan'er lit the stove and arranged the seats in the dining room, and went to the greenhouse to pick some fresh vegetables to send to my uncle.
Everyone else had their work done, and suddenly there were only two middle-aged men, Su Jiyuan and Xian Wang, left in the huge courtyard.
Su Jiyuan looked at the virtuous king, and the virtuous king also looked at Su Jiyuan, the scene was a bit awkward...
King Xian coughed and said, "Play two games of chess with me?"
Su Jiyuan bowed his cupped hands, "Yes."
The virtuous king smoothed Su Jiyuan's hand, and said: "This is not the court, so there is no need to be polite, just treat me as an ordinary guest."
in the kitchen
Xu Qing imitated Princess Xian's appearance last time, holding Xiao Ruxue's face with both hands and said, "Did you do something good?"
Xiao Ruxue, who knew she was wrong, didn't struggle, she just smiled and said, "You... the food you cook is delicious..."
Xu Qing thought that Xiao Ruxue would be disobedient, but she never thought that Xiao Ruxue would be so disobedient.
All he thought at that time was that Xiao Ruxue would sneak to him for a New Year's Eve dinner, but obviously, he once again underestimated Xiao Ruxue.
What Xiao Ruxue brought here this time is a whole family...
Xu Qing let go of Xiao Ruxue's hand with a slightly baby-faced face, and said, "Go wash the vegetables."
"Oh." Xiao Ruxue obediently agreed immediately, and walked to the vegetables.
Xiao Ye walked in from the outside and said, "Brother Xu, I'm here to help."
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao, go and chop vegetables and meat."
Xiao Ye agreed, "Okay."
It has to be said that Xiao Ye's kung fu is not in vain. The vegetables and meat cut out are moderately thick and the knife is extremely fast.
While chopping vegetables, Xiao Ye said: "Brother Xu, it seems that Wan'er is about to give birth. According to my experience, Wan'er will definitely be able to give birth to a son for me. Brother Xu, you will give birth to this marriage." You can't go back on your word."
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, okay, don't go back on your word, besides, is it still useful if I go back on it now?"
Xiao Ye said with satisfaction: "That's right, the concubine mother has spoken."
Xiao Ruxue who was washing vegetables raised her head and said, "What about mine?"
Xu Qing said: "Of course I won't go back on my word."
Really, it's all paid to Xiao Ye as a queen, and if he doesn't collect some interest from his family, isn't that a big loss?
But then again, why do you think he is definitely a son based on his experience?
This is also the first time for him to give birth to a baby, where is his experience?
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everything is on me."
Xiao Ruxue pushed the freshly washed dishes to him, and asked, "What can you do?"
Xiao Ye said: "Let's delay it for now, wait until it's three, four, four, five years, right? Don't talk about you at that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty must be more anxious than you. By that time, they probably don't think about you anymore. Whoever you marry, it's a blessing to be able to marry, and you should say good things to the father, there shouldn't be any problem."
"No!" Xiao Ruxue snorted, "I don't want to wait five years! You think of another way!"
Xiao Yessi thought about it, but only came up with one idea, he pursed his lips and said: "Then...then you go and get an imperial decree, as long as the national seal is stamped, then the Minister of State and the State of Zhongshu If you don’t have the great seal of Chu State, then unless Chu State is gone, you are destined to marry.”
"Do you still want the seals of Zhong Shu Sheng and Shang Shu Sheng?" Xiao Ruxue pursed her lips and said, "Isn't it okay to only need the imperial seal?"
Xu Qing explained: "Imperial decrees are not just about sealing the national seal. First, the Imperial Academy has to draft the decree, and then hand it over to Zhongshu Sheng and Shangshu Sheng for stamping and printing, and keep the files. Finally, the imperial seal is affixed. It is an imperial edict in the true sense, and it is not an imperial edict if it is only affixed with the national seal or the emperor's private seal, and naturally it does not have the authority of the imperial edict."
Xiao Ruxue pouted and said, "I still have to keep the files...why is it so troublesome for the next edict?"
Xu Qing said: "If the imperial decree doesn't even have a backup for inquiry, then the world will be in chaos. If you carve a carrot and press it, it will work. Wouldn't it be a big disaster?"
Xiao Ye was stunned when he heard Xiao Ruxue's words; "No, wait, what do you mean by your tone, as long as the national seal is not enough? If you really have the ability to get the national seal, you still can't get Zhongshu Shenghe The seal of Shangshu Province?"
Xiao Ruxue sighed and said, "How easy is the national seal... just that there are no seals of Zhong Shu Sheng and Shang Shu Sheng..."
Xu Qing; "..."
Xiao Ye: "..."
Guoxi don't want Face?
Xiao Ruxue pouted and walked to Xu Qing's side and tugged at his sleeve: "Xu Qing, what should I do? Without the consent of the king, the emperor will definitely not help me make this decree. I can only cover it up." A national seal..."
Xu Qing embraced Xiao Ruxue's waist with one hand, rubbed Xiao Ruxue's head with the other hand and said, "What's the rush? You're still young, even in three to five years, you'll only be ten years old." Eight or nine years old, up to twenty-one years old."
Xiao Ruxue shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, if you haven't married at the age of 21, then you are an old woman that no one wants. I am not beautiful anymore, so I don't want it."
When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ruxue's words, she felt a little amused and said, "Twenty-one years old is when you are in your prime."
Xiao Ruxue said: "Anyway, I don't want it!"
Xu Qing said: "Then three years, brother Xiao and I, how about taking care of your father and king in three years?"
Xiao Ruxue looked up at Xu Qing's face and said, "Okay, it's only three years, you keep what you say."
Xu Qing nodded and said: "I keep my word, three years."
Xiao Ruxue stretched out a small pink hand and said, "Then let's pull the hook."
Xu Qing also stretched out her hand to grab Xiao Ruxue's hand with her little finger and said, "Okay, let's pull the hook."
Xiao Ye put the cut vegetables aside, looked at Xiao Ruxue and Xu Qing who were sticking together, coughed and said, "Ahem, brother Xu, there is no problem for three years, what, vegetables and meat I have to cut the ribs, so I'll go out first."
Xiao Ruxue took Xu Qing's hand and turned to look at Xiao Ye, "What are you doing out there?"
Xiao Ye said with a look of disgust: "Because of the sour smell in the kitchen..."
