The father and son had dinner in the imperial study while chatting about many topics. Murong Yuan today was not an emperor, but a father who dined with his son.

Seeing his son Yushu Linfeng in front of him, handsome and talented, and able to talk freely with himself, he seemed to have gotten to know this son again today, and he nodded with satisfaction.

After dinner, the emperor was in a good mood:

"Go ahead and complete the mission your father has given you. In the future, you can go to the palace to play chess and have meals with your father when you have time."

"Yes, thank you very much, Father." Murong Hao bowed respectfully.

"Do you need my father to send you some royal guards?" The emperor asked, thinking of today's events.

"Thank you, Father. I have arranged for my own secret guards to protect her." He did not dare to accept her, otherwise it would cause speculation in the court.

"Well, you are a sensible boy, so please step aside. I still have things to do. By the way, I don't want to tell your wife about my conversation with you today." The emperor seemed thoughtful.

"Yes, I understand. I'm retiring. Father, please take care." When Murong Hao heard his father say that she was his daughter-in-law, the corner of his lips curled up slightly and he retreated.

After leaving the palace gate, he called Tianyi:

"Tianyi, please quickly send a message to Vice General Rong to dispatch 300 sword-carrying soldiers from the Eastern Imperial Forest Army back to the city and gather at my military machine room. There will be action tonight."

"Yes." Tianyi accepted the order and went down.

Murong Hao got on the carriage, thought for a while, and told Tiansi:

"Go back to Lin Mansion first."

"Yes."

Inside the palace gate, a eunuch wearing eunuch clothes saw Murong Hao walking away and left in a hurry, returning to his master's palace to report the news.

At this time, Lin Yunxi slept happily all afternoon in the Lin Mansion. When she woke up, it was already dark.

She got up and smelled the aroma of rice. She put on her clothes and opened the door.

When Aunt Leng saw her coming out, she went up to greet her and saluted respectfully:

"Master, it's dinner time, can we pass the meal around?"

"Nanny Leng, just call me Yunxi. It's not okay for you to call me master." She was still not used to the ancient names. First, she felt it was confusing, and second, she thought it was too complicated.

"Ah, you can't do that, it will break the rules." Nanny Leng was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.

Seeing Aunt Leng's panicked expression, Lin Yunxi was speechless, okay, they can call her whatever they want, she really didn't want to waste her brain thinking about such trivial things.

"Okay, Nanny Leng, I'm really hungry, please pass on the food." She smiled.

"Okay." Aunt Leng said respectfully.

After a while, Aunt Leng served a lot of food on the table, all of which were great tonic. Lin Yunxi was used to it. Anyway, these meals were good for the body, and she wouldn't pick them if someone else was cooking.

She finished her dinner honestly and was very satisfied. She stretched out and saw Aunt Leng coming in with a bowl of dark soup.

"Master, this is the decoction for replenishing qi and blood prescribed by the doctor today. You can drink it while it's hot." Aunt Leng put the decoction on the table in the room.

"Ah, I'm just full and I can't drink any more. Sister Leng, please let it go for now. I'll drink it when it gets cold." She really didn't want to drink this extremely bitter soup.

"How can this be done? The prince ordered the old slave to watch the master finish drinking." Aunt Leng said in fear.

"It's not that I don't want to drink. The food that Aunt Leng just cooked was so delicious. I ate two big bowls of rice. Now I don't have room for the third bowl. Don't worry, Aunt Leng. I'll drink it soon." , Leave it alone." She wanted to drive Nanny Leng out.

"How about I wait until the master finishes drinking before going out?" Nanny Leng said cautiously.

"I just finished using it, and I'm a little tired now. I'll take a rest and drink it when it's cool." She continued to chase people away.

"Okay, I'll go down first. Master, remember to drink, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the prince." Aunt Leng reminded her again.

"Don't worry, Nanny Leng. I'm a doctor myself, so I know." She said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, Nanny Leng had no choice but to turn around and go out, closing the door for her at the same time.

Looking at a bowl of dark soup, Lin Yunxi shook her head. It was too bitter, so she didn't want to drink it. Let's just leave it and talk about it later.

Here, Murong Hao was on the carriage, driving all the way to Lin Mansion. He heard the shouting outside:

"Come and see, fresh chestnuts, come and try the sugar-roasted chestnuts just out of the pot."

"Come and see, two new patterns have been added to the sugar paintings today. Come and try your luck and see if you can switch to the new patterns."

Murong Hao became interested. These two things were the girl's favorite food. He ordered in the carriage:

"Tiansi, stop."

The carriage stopped and he got out of the carriage.

Came to the sugar-fried chestnut stall.

"Boss, please give me two bags of fried chestnuts," he said directly.

"okay."

The stall owner packed two bags for him.

He took out the banknotes from his sleeve pocket. Since the last time he went shopping with the girl and said that the denomination of the banknotes he took was too large, he changed the 1000-tael denomination to the minimum 50-tael denomination. What 1 He would not exchange two denominations, which were too small. He would bring a large number of banknotes with him when he went out every day, and he would not exchange such a small denomination.

He took out a 50-tael banknote and handed it to the owner of Tangzhaolizi.

The boss was shocked when he saw a bank note with such a large denomination:

"Sir, I can't find your 50-tael banknote. Do you have any smaller banknotes?"

"It's gone, or I won't look for it." He was in a hurry, but it didn't matter.

After saying that, he came to the next stall with two bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts and said warmly:

"Boss, please help me draw a sugar painting of a mandarin duck and a wild goose."

"Sir, aren't you going to change the pattern?" the boss asked.

"No, my wife likes mandarin ducks and wild geese." Thinking of her, he felt happy.

"Okay, sir, wait a minute." The owner of Tang Hua said with a happy smile.

Murong Hao was waiting with two bags of roasted chestnuts. The owner of the stall next door came forward with two large buckets of roasted chestnuts and said with a smile:

"Sir, your 50 taels of silver can buy me these two large barrels of chestnuts, which are all roasted. You can take them back. I do business with integrity and will not take more money from you."

Murong Hao was shocked when he saw two large barrels of chestnuts. Can 50 taels of silver buy so many roasted chestnuts with sugar? Why did he think that 50 taels of silver was very little before, but he didn't expect that he could buy so many chestnuts. He laughed, it was amazing.

Tiansi stood aside. He didn't bring any money to go out today, so he couldn't help the prince pay. He smiled bitterly, how could he finish eating so many chestnuts.

"Boss, how about this? You can help deliver these chestnuts to Lin Mansion on East Street." Murong Hao did not refuse. He knew that the girl likes to eat chestnuts, so just have as many as you can.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to send it there in a moment." The boss said happily.

While he was talking, the candy painting boss finished painting two candy paintings and handed them to him.

He took out his smallest 50-tael banknote from his sleeve pocket and handed it to the owner of Tang Hua.

He knew that the boss would definitely not be able to find him, so he said directly:

"Boss, there's no need to look for it. The rest is your hard-earned money."

The owner of Tang Hua wanted to say something, but Murong Hao turned around and got on his carriage.

He returned to the Lin Mansion with two bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts and two sugar paintings.

Returning to Lin Mansion, he hurriedly entered Lanxin Pavilion.

At this time, Lin Yunxi was reading in bed and heard his footsteps. It's over. Didn't he say he wouldn't be back until very late? Why is it so early today?

She saw that the medicine on the table was not drunk, and heard his footsteps getting closer and closer. It was over, how about pretending to sleep?

She hurriedly stuffed the book under her pillow and pretended to sleep.

Just after falling asleep, the door was opened.

Murong Hao saw that the soup on the table had not been drunk, and he saw a corner of the book protruding from under her pillow. What else did he not understand? This damn girl just refused to drink the medicine.
