"What are you looking at?"
Xu Jingzhou gave Xu Yueyao the still-warm chestnut cake.
Xu Yueyao smiled at him, took the chestnut cake and ate it.
"Sweet." Xu Yueyao said to Xu Jingzhou.
"Just do it if you like." Xu Jingzhou's eyes were fond, and after leaving the room, his smile faded.
These days, Yueyao is not happy and spends more and more time in a daze.
After Xu Jingzhou left, Xu Yueyao put down the chestnut cake and her eyes lost focus again.
Are those words just a joke on her?
Yang Shu has been in Huining County for almost two months, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to say a word?
Xu Yueyao bit her lip, feeling unspeakably aggrieved.
"My lord, the king is hosting a banquet tomorrow night. It's a blessing for all of you. Let's relax together." The entourage came to Xu Jingzhou and reported.
Xu Jingzhou closed the book and nodded.
During dinner, Xu Jingzhou looked at Xu Yueyao and pretended to be unintentional and said: "Your Majesty will hold a banquet tomorrow night. I can bring your family."
Xu Yueyao paused with her chopsticks.
"Yue Yao, can't you stay in the yard all day and go see the excitement?"
Before Xu Yueyao could speak, Xu Jingzhou said angrily, "Let's forget it, so as not to think of unhappy things."
"Brother, I will take a rest for two days and take you there..."
"Brother, I have never attended such a banquet." Xu Yueyao smiled curiously.
Xu Jingzhou looked at her, holding the chopsticks in his hands tightly, his face still gentle, "Since you are curious, big brother will take you to have a look."
Seeing that the girl was obviously happy, Xu Jingzhou lowered his eyes.
At noon the next day, Xu Jingzhou, who had finished his official duties, called the maid who was waiting in Xu Yueyao's room, "What did Miss do this morning?"
"I've been choosing clothes, and I've even changed them several times, but I'm still not satisfied." The maid answered truthfully.
Xu Jingzhou frowned, glanced at Xu Yueyao's yard, and pursed his lips. The king is really good at it!
Yang Shu sneezed, what happened? Got a cold?
It's impossible, he's as strong as a calf, and he still catches a cold?
Rubbing his nose, Yang Shu continued to draw pictures of firearms. The last word about fists was that the Yan country was not as good as other countries. He had to get himself a strong trump card.
"Your Majesty, the pots are ready. We have prepared one cow and two sheep, which will definitely be enough to eat." Pai Gow said as he entered the room.
Yang Shu nodded. The purpose of the dinner was to liberate everyone from the heavy workload. It couldn't be too formal. Hot pot, barbecue, and some wine would definitely create a good atmosphere.
At the time of application, Xu Yueyao was waiting in the courtyard, waiting for Xu Jingzhou to take her to Prince Qin's Mansion.
During this period, she went to the bronze mirror several times for fear that her makeup would be wrong.
At Youshi, Xu Jingzhou came back. He looked at the well-dressed Xu Yueyao and sighed deeply in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Miss Xu went to Madam's house."
Pai Gow leaned close to Yang Shu's ear and lowered his voice.
After moving out from Prince Qin's Mansion, Xu Yueyao came back once, but she met with Lu Yun and Liu Yun and left after chatting.
Yang Shu happened not to be in the house at that time, and he wouldn't go to see him.
He had promised Xu Jingzhou to let Xu Yueyao go, but this was a tangle, but he had broken his promise.
"How are the people arriving?" Yang Shu moved his shoulders.
"It's almost ready."
"Let's go then." Yang Shu stood up and walked out of the house.
"Miss, my uncle and the second lady are here."
In Manfu, only Mo Mei still retains her original name.
Xu Yueyao's tea swayed slightly, her fingers tightened unconsciously, and she subconsciously looked towards the door.
Yang Shu supported Liu Yun and walked slowly into the house. When he caught a glimpse of Xu Yueyao, he nodded lightly and then looked back.
"Madam, it's time for us to go." Yang Shu looked at Lu Yun and smiled.
"Yueyao, let's come together." Lu Yun greeted Xu Yueyao.
Xu Yueyao forced out a smile, and her peripheral vision fell on Yang Shu. Compared to before, he was much more unfamiliar with her.
Lowering her head, Xu Yueyao silently followed Yang Shu and Lu Yun.
"The king is here."
With a loud shout, the people in the courtyard fell silent.
"Today's theme is to be happy, no need to be restrained."
Yang Shu held Lu Yun with his right hand and Liu Yun with his left hand, walking slowly towards the superior to stop them from saluting.
The banquet is held today. Firstly, it is to relax and bring everyone closer together. Secondly, Lu Yun and Liu Yun have not shown their faces in front of everyone for so long since they have been in Huining County.
He had to let these people know how much he valued his wife, lest anyone get offended.
"Okay, go get what you want to eat." Yang Shu waved his hand and took the lead in using his chopsticks. He put the vegetables into the mandarin duck pot.
Afraid that Liu Yun wouldn't be able to bear the smell of meat, Yang Shu didn't put raw meat on the table.
Seeing that Yang Shu moved, everyone became less polite.
"I'm going to grill some kebabs."
Yang Shu put the blanched vegetables into Lu Yun and Liu Yun's bowls and spoke to them.
Master Xie's eyes paused on Liu Yun's belly, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Father, I will talk to the king after the banquet is over." Xie Zhibo, Grand Master Xie's eldest son, saw that Grand Master Xie looked wrong and hurriedly spoke.
Grand Master Xie glanced at him and said, "Do you think you are very reckless as a father?"
Xie Zhibo smiled and put the cooked meat slices into Master Xie's bowl.
Sitting on it, she could have a panoramic view of everything going on below. Liu Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, and there were already no less than five appraising glances.
Rubbing her belly, she straightened up.
"Try it quickly, I grilled it myself." Yang Shu handed the meat skewers over and looked at the two of them with a look on his face begging for praise.
Lu Yun and Liu Yun pursed their lips and smiled.
"It's outside." Liu Yun lightly scolded him.
"I'm talking to my wife, so it doesn't bother anyone." Yang Shu refilled Lu Yun's tea.
"Your Majesty, I respect you!"
Zhao Niu raised his cup and shouted.
"Do it." Yang Shu drank a drink with him.
"Everyone, have fun!" Yang Shu said with great pride.
Lu Yun secretly tugged on Yang Shu's sleeve to tell him not to drink too much.
Yang Shu held Lu Yun's hand, winked at her, and shouted verbally.
Last time I was drunk and talking nonsense, even if I killed Yang Shu, I wouldn't dare to drink like that anymore.
After three drinks, Yang Shu left with Lu Yun and Liu Yun.
Xu Jingzhou looked at his sister and saw Xu Yueyao with her head lowered. She no longer had the expectation and joy when she came, and her whole body was shrouded in a layer of twilight.
Xu Jingzhou held the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes darkening.
"Your Majesty, Master Xie is in the side hall." Pai Gow caught up with Yang Shu and told him.
Yang Shu held Liu Yun's waist and said in a casual tone, "First serve a pot of tea, I'll be there in a moment."
Meeting Liu Yun's eyes, Yang Shu smiled at her, "I have everything."
"Yes." Liu Yun's eyebrows overflowed with tenderness.
After sending the person back to Fuxiang Courtyard and asking Zi'er to take care of him carefully, Yang Shu went to the side hall.
"The king wants to pamper his concubine and destroy his wife?" Master Xie put down his tea cup and stood up to question.
"Why did the Grand Master say this?"
"Mrs. Liu is pregnant before the legitimate son is born. Your Majesty, you are going to achieve great things! This will definitely cause trouble in the future!" Grand Master Xie said in a stern voice.
"Grand Master, that's an exaggeration." Yang Shu helped Grand Master Xie sit down with a respectful attitude, "In the stage of conquering the world, I need to have the heart of a descendant and a soldier."
"Liu Yun happens to be pregnant. The poison of a tiger is not enough to eat its seeds. I can't be worse than a beast."
"Grand Master, I have a good idea in my heart. If I win the world, the person who inherits the throne must be the legitimate son."
"Brothers fighting against each other will definitely not happen."
