"Your Highness is overly concerned. I am not angry with Your Highness."
Shen Yue forced out a smile and said.
"Really?" Gao Zongxian's eyes lit up when he heard this.
When Shen Yue saw his appearance, she cursed in her heart, but she nodded with a smile on her face:
"How dare I deceive His Highness?"
"Then why are you? Alas, that's all, I know you must be exhausted."
Although Gao Zongxian wanted to continue asking, he hesitated in the end, and then sighed.
"Since you are fine, I will go out to handle government affairs first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Gao Zongxian left, Shen Yue couldn't help but complain.
"This guy is really two hundred and fifty!"
She couldn't help but wonder how Xiao Xian tolerated such a fool as Gao Zongxian in the first place?
But Shen Yue soon felt relieved. After all, no matter how stupid Gao Zongxian was, he was at least smarter than someone else.
Thinking of this, Shen Yue felt happy and her face gradually returned to rosy, but there was still a hint of fatigue between her brows.
"You finally woke up!" Xiao Xian walked in with a bright smile on his face.
Shen Yue glanced at him, snorted coldly and said nothing.
Seeing that she ignored him, Xiao Xian didn't mind. He walked forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to touch Shen Yue's slightly protruding belly.
"Be good and don't trouble mother, you know?"
Hearing his words, Shen Yue rolled her eyes disdainfully. This guy actually communicated with the child in his belly?
"Ha, do you think you can hold this child?" Shen Yue said with a sneer.
"Why not?" Xiao Xian retorted.
"If Gao Zongxian knew that this child was not his, he would probably chop you alive." Shen Yue mocked.
Hearing this, Xiao Xian's expression was a bit indifferent: "So what, I don't care about it anyway."
Shen Yue curled her lips: "Tsk, who believes it?"
"Believe it or not, I don't care about it anyway, so do whatever you like." Xiao Xian said impatiently.
After speaking, he directly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, how are you?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired." Shen Yue said lightly.
"Then you have a good rest and stop thinking nonsense."
"Yeah." Shen Yue responded lazily, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"By the way, I have a recipe that can treat insomnia in pregnant women. Do you want to try it?"
As soon as Shen Yue closed her eyes, Xiao Xian's words reached her ears.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Yue opened her eyes and looked at him warily.
"Hey, don't worry, I won't harm you." Xiao Xian scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"Then tell me how."
"Uh-huh."
"You tell me this method, and I promise not to reveal even a single word."
Shen Yue looked at him seriously and said.
"Well."
Seeing Shen Yue's serious look, Xiao Xian was stunned for a second and then nodded.
"Actually, this recipe is used to regulate the relationship between husband and wife, you know."
Xiao Xian said while making a cheering gesture.
Hearing this, Shen Yue's face suddenly became filled with black lines. Where is all this?
"Are you sure this method really works?"
Xiao Xian nodded firmly when he heard this.
Seeing that Shen Yue no longer had any doubts, he took the prescription directly from the other party's hand.
"By the way, remember to send someone to make it and deliver it later. Don't forget it."
"Yeah, I remember."
The next day, the atmosphere in Da Chu's court was very depressing.
On the third day, several memorials were placed in front of Emperor Gao Shengyuan. He sat alone behind the imperial case and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, Beidi has once again invaded our Dachu border. I hope your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible." The Minister of War was the first to stand up and said.
Several other officials also seconded the proposal.
"Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate to delay at this time. It is better to take the opportunity to send troops and eliminate them in one fell swoop." Another military commander said.
"I second my opinion."
"I second my opinion."
All the officials stood up and agreed.
Seeing this scene, Gao Shengyuan frowned, a cold light flashed across his eyes, but he said nothing.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, Gao Zongxian walked out slowly.
"Father, I'm afraid this matter needs long-term consideration."
As soon as Gao Zongxian opened his mouth, the whole hall was in an uproar, and countless ministers spoke one after another.
"Your Majesty, think twice. If you start a war with Beidi easily, our Chu state will be severely depleted. I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the barbarian countries in the future!"
"Your Majesty! I beg your Majesty to think again!"
Seeing the ministers admonishing each other, Gao Shengyuan frowned even more tightly and looked gloomy.
"Gentlemen, do you know what time it is now?"
"Your Majesty, there are only two months left before spring plowing. If our army launches an attack, I'm afraid." The Minister of War said bravely.
"Absurd! I asked you to discuss countermeasures, not to let you shirk your responsibilities!" Gao Shengyuan shouted angrily.
"I deserve to die!" The Minister of War quickly knelt down.
"I also feel that Your Majesty has thought twice." The other ministers knelt down and repeatedly confessed.
"Huh!" Gao Shengyuan snorted coldly, calmed down a little, and then said slowly.
"This sudden provocation by Beidi is no accident."
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" the Minister of War quickly raised his head and asked.
"Order the garrison in each state's capital to pay close attention to the movements of the people in Beidi. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately." Gao Shengyuan ordered.
"I obey the order!" the Minister of War ordered to retreat.
.......
On the second day, many small countries in the south came to pay homage to the Emperor of Chu. Naturally, such a grand occasion required the presence of hundreds of civil and military officials.
A group of princes also accompanied them to the scene. Gao Zongxian was dressed in bright yellow prince attire and looked majestic, as if he were a prince.
Except for him, the other princes and princesses all wore splendid robes.
Gao Zongxian seemed to be very useful, with a gentle smile always on his face.
At this banquet, in addition to Gao Zongxian and ministers, there were also many princes and nobles.
At the banquet, Shen Yue and Gao Zongxian sat very close to each other, which made her feel a little awkward. After all, she didn't like this kind of occasion.
"You don't like it?" Gao Zongxian noticed her abnormality and asked in a low voice.
Shen Yue shook his head: "No, I'm just not used to this kind of situation."
"Then you should say less and eat quietly to avoid being looked down upon by others." Gao Zongxian reminded.
Shen Yue was startled, then nodded, she also felt the need to restrain herself.
