After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

After returning to the Golden Palace, Xia Yu and Shen Jinmo accompanied Xia Hong to finish dinner, and then they walked out of the palace together under the moonlight.

Although they are one, they cannot be considered side by side.

The distance between the two people is enough to accommodate five more people standing side by side.

They are taking shelter from each other.

After leaving the palace wall, the distance between Shen Jinmo and Xia Yu began to narrow.

Glancing sideways in the night, Shen Jinmo took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness did a good job today."

If nothing happened tonight, Xia Yu's ability to avoid danger in advance would surely arouse Xia Hong's suspicion.

It is true that Xia Hong will hand over the Great Xia Empire to Xia Yu in the end, but Xia Hong is determined to hand it over, not to worry about someone eyeing him covetously.

In time, no matter how incompetent Xia Yu is, he will eventually follow the same path that Xia Ling is taking now.

Such a small loss in exchange for staying out of future trouble is a big win.

Hearing Shen Jinmo's "not bad", Xia Yu's repeatedly suppressed lips finally curled up.

Without further words, the two went their separate ways around the corner.

The door of the carriage that had been parked for a long time was pushed open from the inside, and Xun Zhan's evil eyes were now filled with resentment.

Xia Yu got on the carriage, poured out the steaming water in the bottle, took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the dried blood off Xun Zhan's face.

"Master, you protected me again tonight. You are truly brave."

These words brought a smile to Xun Zhan's face.

Xun Zhan is indeed worthless here in Xia Territory.

He leaned forward and kissed Xia Yu's eyes: "Your eyes are all swollen from crying. It hurts me just looking at them."

After wiping off the blood, Xia Yu leaned closer to Xun Zhan again: "Master, my eyes hurt."

And a kiss.

Xun Zhan naturally would not refuse such a sweet treat. He bent over and kissed her again and again for a long time.

As they were kissing, they found it inconvenient to bend over, so they just held the person in their arms and kissed him.

"Xiaojiu, we should be able to live a peaceful life for a while."

Yes, after all the calculations, what you get in the end is just a peaceful life where you can see the end at a glance.

He opened his arms and hugged Xun Zhan for a long, long time.

"Master, I'm lucky to have you."

Without Xun Zhan, Xia Yu couldn't imagine how desperate he would be along the way.

"Your Highness's words are really beautiful tonight."

Being needed by Xia Yu is the greatest honor Xun Zhan can get in his life.

The carriage stopped at the main gate of Prince Ming's Palace, and Xia Yu took advantage of the night to carry Xun Zhan off the carriage.

In fact, Xia Yu wanted to hug Xun Zhan around the waist.

But he felt that the moonlight tonight was so beautiful, and he wished that they could look up at the moon in the sky together.

"Xiaojiu, I plan to let my brother and Han Shu escape from the capital first."

Xia Yu looked back, feeling the warmth of Xun Zhan's lips brushing across his ear, and the blush crept up from his neck to his cheek.

After calming down for a while, Xia Yu said, "Fortunately, your brother doesn't like men, otherwise your Xun family's lineage would have been cut off."

Xun Zhan laughed so hard that his chest shook. He thought Xia Yu was really funny. "It's a good thing your brother doesn't like men, otherwise your family would be extinct."

After thinking about it for a while, it is true.

After all, Xia Xin only gave birth to Shen Jinmo, her son.

"If your brother and the princess get married, can we have a baby to play with?"

Xia Yu has never raised a baby, I wonder if it’s fun?

"It's probably similar to raising a cat or a dog. I'll pick out a few nice kittens for you to raise tomorrow."

Everything Xia Yu has should be extremely beautiful.

"Okay, I'll learn to play with the cat first." After a while, Xia Yu asked again: "Can you lend me your brother's doll to play with?"

Xun Zhan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, my brother and the princess will give birth to as many children as you want."

Xia Ling, wearing his wedding gown which he had not yet changed out of, personally escorted the foreign envoy to the post station.

The cooks at the post station, who were supposed to be resting, began to busy themselves with preparing food for the envoys who had neither drunk the wedding wine nor had dinner.

Xia Ling brought a dozen young eunuchs into the posthouse and looked at the residences of envoys from various countries one by one.

Whenever he felt that something was not appropriate, he would immediately arrange for a young eunuch to personally supervise and handle it.

After all the envoys had been comforted one by one, the eunuch assigned by Xia Ling came up to report.

"My Lord, time is running out and the palace gates are closed. I am unable to gather all the items that are worthy of the status of the noble envoys. I beg your forgiveness, my Lord."

Xia Ling thought for a while and said, "There are all kinds of things in the Lingwang Mansion. You should quickly take people to clean up the guest rooms in the Lingwang Mansion and prepare a few tables. I will personally entertain all the distinguished envoys in the Lingwang Mansion."

As for what kind of envoy is a distinguished envoy, Xia Ling and the eunuch beside him naturally already knew it.

Otherwise, how could this great country of Great Xia not be able to gather a few things for the foreign kings to use?

Soon, five rather luxurious carriages stopped at the entrance of the post station.

Xia Ling humbly led the distinguished envoys onto the carriage, chatting and laughing all the way as they headed towards Prince Ling's Palace.

His courteous and humble approach immediately won him praise from many envoys.

Everyone had a smile on their face, naturally because they were all fantasizing that if Xia Ling became the emperor, good days would come for their small countries.

Who knows, one day they may be able to share this rich land and people with Daxia.

The cooks who were busy in the small kitchen and the servants who were serving the envoys felt very uncomfortable watching this kind of behavior.

"I think the prince is too humble in front of these small foreign countries."

The cook who was killing the fish chopped off the fish's head with one knife: "Although we are used to treating these small countries well, we have never seen a crown prince act like a housekeeper, worrying about such trivial matters."

"When my grandfather was young, the late emperor was fighting fiercely with various princes. Life was extremely hard at that time, but even if he begged on the street, he would not accept a single penny from such a foreigner."

"My Celestial Empire has stood tall for so many years, but the first time we bowed down was to the Emperor. If the Crown Prince becomes the new Emperor, we may have to kneel down to meet these envoys in the future."

The eunuch who came to urge the food to be served knocked on the door several times with his whisk, frowned and warned: "You guys are not doing your job properly, are you going to give up your head?"

Everyone in the kitchen shut up and concentrated on their work. When the young eunuch walked away, all the cooks and servants looked at each other and then sneered at the same time.

"You've learned to use the power of the tiger to bully others."

"He used all his courage to howl at his father. Now when he gets to the envoys, won't he have to kneel down?"

"These unfilial descendants wantonly squandered the dignity their ancestors risked their lives to win, and they are not afraid that their ancestors will crawl out of the ground to seek revenge on them."
