Back to the ancient favorite

In such a square place like the palace, these little things spread in minutes, and Xiliu herself didn't know what happened.

At noon the next day, Xiliu took a lot of small bags with her face covered with fine gauze, put her own basket on her back, and swaggered to the imperial dining room.

Not only the people in the imperial dining room, but everyone along the way pointed at Xiliu. Xiliu didn't know what happened, so he pulled a little father-in-law and asked: "Elder-in-law, Xiaoxiao, Not respectful." After finishing speaking, he took out a purple pearl from his waist and stuffed it in the little eunuch's hand, "Did something happen today? Why do you feel that everyone is looking at me with admiration."

The little father-in-law grabbed the bag in Xiliu's hand and took him to the spice room, saying quietly: "Master Xiliu doesn't know something, the story of your battle with the emperor yesterday has been spread all over the imperial city! The emperor never allows Others are responsible for themselves, and you are the first person who dares to fight."

Xiliu laughed a little, pulled the bag and packed the spices and said with a smile: "What is he, but because he is the emperor, he really wants to do something to me." But thinking about it carefully, maybe the emperor is really afraid of losing himself , just left.

"Perhaps... he is the real winner." Xiliu said to himself, and then began the journey of collecting the royal dining room.

The big and small spices and rare ingredients filled a whole basket, and the father-in-law was a little puzzled: "Master Xiliu...you..."

After finishing the last bag, Xiliu looked back at her father-in-law solemnly and said, "Why, can I report to you what the emperor gave me?"

"Oh...it's not necessary...it's just..." Eunuch seemed a bit embarrassed, so Xiliu hooked him up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't just be mere, the emperor said I'd take it casually, I've already restrained myself Take your hands, look, this is given to me by the emperor, so you can keep it well." After speaking, he gave a luminous pearl pendant bestowed to him by the emperor to his father-in-law.

The father-in-law put it back in his sleeve, and said with a smile, "It's just that you can't move it, so I'll call you a sedan chair?"

"Father-in-law, you're welcome~ No need." Xiliu smiled and wanted to leave, but after taking a look at the ingredients on the table, she decided to make a table of dishes to thank the emperor for not killing him.

Afterwards, Xiliu put down the basket and sighed, picked up a handy knife and began to make a Liu family feast.

Wash the prawns, open the back and remove the prawn threads, add minced garlic, less wine, soy sauce, less salt, less sugar and stir-fry until fragrant, take out the plate, spread the soaked vermicelli on the plate and put the prawns on it.

In the end, I made several lovely snacks, and paired them with plum wine in an emerald cup, and cut apple slices on the cup for decoration.

After Xiliu was finished, everyone in the imperial dining room looked at him, no longer the look of disdain that he had fried the kitchen that day, but full of admiration, Xiliu smiled and informed the father-in-law, and the father-in-law informed the emperor. For the dinner prepared, the emperor was flattered and asked the father-in-law again and again if he made a mistake, but the father-in-law looked at the emperor with a smile on his face and said: "Master Xiliu personally said that this dinner was prepared for you in order to thank you for your kindness of not killing me. "

"Okay! Okay! Putting up the catkin palace!" The emperor didn't even want to change his clothes, just like going to the catkin palace to find Xiliu, but he was still blocked by his father-in-law.

After changing his clothes, the emperor arrived at Liuxu Palace with great excitement. He only saw a table of dishes but no Xiliu. He sat in the courtyard in great disappointment, looked at a glass of wine with chopsticks, and just picked it up and said: "Read Beautiful woman, but I don't see it, I don't know my heart, I am very pitiful..."

Xiliu appeared next to her with a ladder cage and asked inexplicably, "What did you say? What undead?"

The emperor looked at Xiliu in surprise, stood up and was about to reach out to hug him, but saw the gauze on his face, so he could only put down his hands and asked with concern: "Is your face... all right?"

"It's not disfigured, but I think a scar can be more manly." Xiliu smiled and put down the ladder cage in her hand, and a few small animal snacks appeared in front of the emperor again.

"Why... such a sumptuous dinner?" The emperor picked up the chopsticks and looked at Xiliu reluctantly.

Xiliu stood up and bowed and said, "First, thank you for your care, and second, thank you for not killing me last night."

The emperor picked up a piece of beef, and after eating it, he smiled happily. He raised his head and looked at Xiliu and said, "It's also my fault. I shouldn't treat you like you before. You wouldn't cook such delicious food before." Things, but I also thought about it all night, after all, I can't bear you, and I can't let you go."

After hearing this, Xiliu lifted up her clothes and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "There is nothing in this world that you can't let go, and time will heal everything, just like my parents died, and I didn't let go." After finishing speaking, he raised his head to meet The emperor's eyes were covered, and the teardrops in his eyes had blurred his eyes.

Xiliu said again: "Your Majesty, you have a son under your knees now, at least there are follow-ups, but the lord, you don't have a son and a half daughter so far. Since the lord has not let me down, I will definitely depend on him for life and death. Please help me!" Wan slammed heavily on the ground, tears of disappointment dripped on the ground, turned into firmness, and bid farewell to the past with the absorption of the bluestone slab.

The emperor tightly closed his eyes, not letting the tears fall, and finally waved his hand in agreement with his words.

Xiliu got up and thanked the emperor for carrying her bamboo basket on his back, and strode away from the palace.

"The last dinner... ridiculous." The emperor took a deep breath to control his emotions, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the dishes, and after taking a bite, he couldn't help saying, "It's not delicious at all... It's bitter..."

A few days later, Prince Man returned to the imperial city and went to the palace to report the battle situation. After he finished everything in the court hall, the emperor did not reward him, but just said: "If there is nothing wrong, retreat to the court." , Prince Man, and I will go to the imperial study to discuss the important officials."

Prince Man bowed and waited for everyone to leave, and then followed his father-in-law to the imperial study. The emperor sat on a chair and looked down at Prince Man, and after telling everyone to back down, he said in a relaxed manner: "Prince Man, you For this expedition, I will bring Xiliu into the palace again."

Prince Man lowered his head and shook his eyes, but did not speak. The emperor stood up and walked in front of him with a long sigh, and looked at him.

Because the two people were about the same height, they were almost looking at each other at the same level, so Prince Man raised his eyebrows and stared at the emperor fiercely.

"I haven't given up on Xiliu." The emperor said with a smile, raising one corner of his mouth.

Prince Man was unexpectedly calm, he said "En" softly, and then said: "I have known about the emperor and Xiliu for a long time, but Xiliu didn't say anything, and I didn't ask."

"Ha! It's a good one not to talk and not to ask!" The emperor Yang Tianchang smiled, leaned against the table, raised his head with his hands and looked at Prince Man and said, "Xiliu...has really changed...he would rather lose his appearance. I don't want to share my bed with you."

Prince Man suddenly smiled proudly, then raised his head and said, "Xiliu dropped her head and doesn't remember everything."

The emperor also agreed with his statement, nodded and said: "Yes, but he actually told my two princes that no matter who inherits the throne, he must protect the other one. It's ridiculous, really ridiculous."

Prince Man looked at the emperor's disappointed expression, and he didn't know what happened, but one thing that can be learned from the emperor's words is that Xiliu really has backbone.

The emperor sighed, looked at Prince Man again and said, "Man Sheng'an, Xiliuzhen will never give up."

Prince Man also looked at the emperor, and said: "I made a contract with Xiliu, and everything starts from the beginning. If he doesn't like to do something, I will never force him. If the emperor insists on fighting with the minister, I will accompany you to the end." .”

After speaking, the emperor and Prince Man laughed at the same time.

Back at Prince Man's Mansion, Xiliu had been looking around at the door for a long time, and when he saw Prince Man appearing at the street corner on a horse, he happily waved to him.

Prince Man looked at Xiliu tenderly after dismounting and asked him, "Why are you so excited?"

"I made grilled fish! Hurry up and eat it!" After saying that, Xiliu took the initiative to take Man Wangye's hand and ran into the garden. Man Wang Ye looked at his behavior with some surprise and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

In the garden, the princess, Lizi, and Ge Tianming were already waiting. After seeing the prince coming, everyone stood up and bowed to him. Xiliu pulled the chair to let the prince sit down and prepared a place for Ren. A group of people Enjoyed a feast of grilled fish.

Satisfied with wine and food, he is in a good mood. As soon as Prince Man changed his armor, he was kicked out of the room by Xiliu to let him see the princess. The princess is 7 months pregnant. Except for some poor appetite, everything else will be fine, but the princess is concerned. He picked up Xiliu, and said, "My lord, you should go and see brother Xiliu, I don't know what happened to go to the palace, brother Xiliu had scars on his face when he came back, luckily Ruoxin brought a Some Xisai’s scar-removing medicine can’t be seen from a distance now, so you should go and see Brother Xiliu.”

Seeing that the princess cared so much about Prince Xiliuman, he was still happy. He touched the princess's hand and thanked him, "Thank you for the relationship, princess. This king has been fighting outside all year round, which made you suffer."

The princess shook her head and replied: "Why did the prince suffer? Ever since he entered the palace of the princes, the servants did not say anything. Brother Xiliu loved Ruoxin very much. In addition, the prince also cared so much for Ruoxin. Ruoxin is grateful." It's too late."

Prince Man smiled and asked Xiaotao to arrange the princess to sleep, and then went to Xiliu's room by himself. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiliu changing the medicine on his arm. Gauze: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Xiliu smiled nicely, but when she thought about explaining how the injury came about, she quickly added, "I did it myself."

Prince Man stopped his hands, looked at Xiliu's panic-stricken expression, nodded and said, "People make mistakes, horses make mistakes, so be careful."

Xiliu nodded embarrassingly. He thought that Prince Man believed him, but he didn't know that Prince Man knew the truth a long time ago. After fixing his arm, Prince Man looked at his cheek again, and Xiliu quickly turned his head away from him. , but was pushed back by him, Prince Man looked at his cheek seriously and heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiliu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Prince Man shook his head, cleared the table and replied, "Princess said, you have a scar on your face."

Only then did Xiliu come to her senses and hasten to justify her answer: "No, no, during this three-year pregnancy, I clearly scratched my hand, not my face. She must have remembered it wrong, but Man Sheng'an! What do you mean! You don’t want me if I have a scar on my face?” After speaking, he pushed Prince Man.

Prince Man raised his face funnyly and looked at Xiliu seriously, stroked his cheek gently, and asked softly, "Can I kiss you?"

"Before you make it clear, no way!" Xiliu opened his hand angrily, and Prince Man shook his head with a smile and replied: "No matter what you become, this king will never want you, on the contrary, I will love you more deeply." .”

Xiliu looked at Prince Man's smiling face with her mouth curled up, then nodded after thinking for a while, then quickly kissed him on the cheek.

Prince Man stretched out his hands to cover his cheeks and looked at Xiliu excitedly. He just wanted to reach out to hug Xiliu again but accidentally touched his wound: "Aww! It hurts! Hiss...you want to die!"

"Ah... I'm sorry." Prince Man put his hands on his mouth in a funny way and watched Xiliu's furious appearance. Xiliu slapped him on the shoulder angrily, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Man Sheng'an, teach me... Let's shoot arrows, and throwing knives are also fine!"

Prince Man put down his hands and looked at him inexplicably, and the topic changed too quickly: "Why?"

Xiliu pursed her lips, how should she speak?Is it to tell him that he is afraid of the shadow mountain climbing the wall?But I was afraid that Prince Man would be worried if I said this, so I could only lower my head and say: "For self-defense, in case you are not at home that day, I will ensure that the person who comes to cause trouble will stay outside the gate!"

Prince Man nodded in agreement without any other objections.
