The tedious etiquette continued until the afternoon.
There are so many monarchs and ministers, all performing the ceremony hungry.
After the ceremony is over, everyone takes a short rest. There will be a grand palace banquet tonight and tomorrow night.
Xiao Yuchen has experienced countless such tedious rituals since he was a child.
But he has never been so impatient as this time.
He wished the ceremony would end soon...
Until now, he has not had the chance to be alone with Wen Jin.
Can others understand his eager mood at this moment?
The ministers finally adjourned the meeting.
Before Xiao Yuchen sent everyone away, he still held back his eagerness and called Wei Yang over.
"What did General Wei think? Why did he kowtow to the queen in front of all the ministers... and ask her such questions?"
Even if Wei Yang was slow, he should have heard the anger in Xiao Yuchen's tone by now.
He said sarcastically, "Back to the Emperor... When the last general was on the front line, in front of all the generals... he spoke nonsense, said, said...
"Speaking of the Queen's views as a woman...the reinforcements from the Song and Chen countries were invited to carve up the hard-won fruits of victory in Daliang.
"The general said... If, if not, the general will bow to the Queen in front of everyone and ask for advice in person..."
Xiao Yuchen: "..."
"Just now, those generals teased the junior general. He said that the junior general 'didn't keep his word' and was not worthy of being a man.
"He also said that if the general refuses to fulfill his promise, then... he will wear women's clothes and walk around the army.
"Your Majesty! How can the general, who is so old, wear women's clothes and be embarrassed in the army?"
Wei Yang was angry and ashamed, and his face turned red.
Xiao Yuchen: "..."
It seems that his subordinates are not just a bunch of fools, but a bunch of fools!
Xiao Yuchen closed his eyes and let out a breath, "Did you know that by worshiping the queen in public, you pushed her into a dangerous place!?
"Have you ever heard the buzz around her?"
Wei Yang lowered his head and said in a loud voice, "Now the generals admire the Queen more and more. They are sincerely convinced!"
Xiao Yuchen looked shocked.
He was silent for a moment and nodded slowly, "Please step back and have a good rest."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Wei Yang exited the hall.
The palace was quiet.
Xiao Yuchen thought about Wei Yang's last few words... He couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is at Renhe Palace and has prepared a table of home-cooked dishes for you."
The palace man said at the door of the palace.
Xiao Yuchen raised his head with a smile on his face, "Okay, I'll come right away."
Xiao Yuchen changed into regular clothes and strode to Renhe Palace.
Before he entered the main hall, his nose couldn't help but twitch...
What does this smell like? The rich aroma of wine, fruit and food will make people move their index fingers.
"Welcome Your Majesty—"
The palace people outside the palace sang loudly.
Wen Jin, who was busy directing the palace people in the palace, raised his head and looked at him.
Xiao Yuchen's heart moved.
Over the years, we have experienced ups and downs together.
But looking at him like this, he still couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
"Jin'er."
Xiao Yuchen strode into the palace and took Wen Jinfu into his arms before she could bow.
"I'm back, I'm finally back, I can finally get along with each other day and night..."
He hugged her and murmured softly.
When the palace people saw this, they all lowered their heads.
The maids laid out the meal and quietly left.
"What home-cooked food, it smells so good." Xiao Yuchen let go of his embrace, but still couldn't help but hold her hand.
It seemed as if Wen Jin would fly away as soon as he let go.
"I made a little wine myself, fruits and vegetables I grew in the garden behind Renhe Palace, and medicinal porridge."
Wen Jin pointed to the table full of delicacies and introduced them.
Xiao Yuchen looked at her with burning eyes and smiled without saying a word.
Wen Jin raised his eyebrows suspiciously, "What's wrong? There are flowers on my face?"
Xiao Yuchen still smiled.
Wen Jin tilted his head, "By the way, what happened to Wei Yang? Did you arrange it?"
Xiao Yuchen: "..."
How could such a stupid thing be arranged by him!
He sighed helplessly, "He lost a bet..."
Wen Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are all generals playing such a big game? Are you betting with your life?"
"If he hadn't met you and our husband and wife were so harmonious and never had any grudges or doubts... he would have been beheaded, right?"
Xiao Yuchen looked at her with eyes that suddenly became deep.
Wen Jin smiled and placed a few pieces of cut white jade melon on the jade plate in front of him.
"Thank you, Jin'er..."
Xiao Yuchen looked at her deeply, "Thank you for trusting me at all times, doing everything you can to help me, and taking care of my face in front of all the ministers."
Wen Jin glared at him, "What difference is there between you and me between husband and wife? Isn't your face my face? Trusting you means trusting myself."
When Xiao Yuchen heard this, his body trembled slightly.
"Jin'er?"
"Really, that's what I think. So thank me and thank yourself.
"Xiao Yuchen, to be honest, I didn't expect that I could trust you as much as I do today... just like I trust myself.
"You know, from the beginning, you were a scumbag and stupid person in my heart. If it weren't for women in this era, there are too many shackles and it's too unfair.
"I might have left you a long time ago... It was you who got closer and got rid of the self-righteousness, arrogance, machismo, vanity, good face, etc. I once had.
"Then... it warmed me. That's why I have such trust in you today."
Wen Jin raised her eyes to look at him. Her eyes were full of stars, as beautiful as the vast sky or the sea full of stars.
Xiao Yuchen's nose felt sore and he hugged her tightly.
His nasal voice was thick, "Am I so good? I'm so touched... If you throw away such a man, you'd be in great trouble."
"Hahaha..." Wen Jin laughed, "Yeah, luckily I didn't lose it, Xiu Xiu can still use it."
Xiao Yuchen: "..."
Can it be used?
This sounded strange...but he had an inexplicable reaction.
"Jin'er, Jin'er... I miss you so much..."
He lowered his head and kissed Wen Jin's neck.
His hot breath fanned against her ears.
This is her sensitive area... She is itchy and feels weak all over.
"Eat well! It's specially prepared for you!" Wen Jin smiled and pushed him.
She didn't use her divine power, so naturally she couldn't push Xiao Yuchen away.
"How can I let my queen be 'hungry'? Of course I put you first." Xiao Yuchen said passionately while kissing her.
"Are you sure you don't want to try the white jade melon that I grew myself?" Wen Jin said with a smile, "Eat it first, there are still several hours before the dinner... We have time."
Xiao Yuchen didn't want to let down her careful preparation.
He had no choice but to suppress his enthusiasm.
"Huh? So delicious! This white jade melon is crispy, sweet, and fragrant. It's really good!"
Xiao Yuchen picked up a piece with a silver fork, took a bite, and was full of praise.
"It seems more delicious, sweet and juicy than before? Are the varieties better?"
Wen Jin nodded while she was pouring wine for Xiao Yuchen.
Suddenly there was a palace man at the door of the palace, anxiously poking his head.
If it weren't for an emergency, the palace people wouldn't be so cold-hearted.
Wen Jin asked someone to come in and answer.
"Your Majesty, Taifu Han has been found out!"
