Quick Wear: The Charming Girl Plays with Everything

When having dinner with Qiandai again, Gu Xuanmu's mood was completely different from last time.

There were thirty-six dishes on the table.

But he didn't think it was extravagant at all.

Because the three of them wanted to discuss official business involving confidential information, Eunuch Liu was quite perceptive and took the other palace maids away.

This means there is no one to pick up food for Qiandai.

She poked the plate with her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the bird's nest and shredded chicken soup that was two arms' length away from her, then glanced away.

Well, she didn't want to eat.

"Your Majesty, do you want to eat this?"

This subtle action naturally did not escape the eyes of Xie Yuwei, who had been paying attention to her. He glanced at the bird's nest and shredded chicken soup in front of him and asked softly.

Before he could wait for Qiandai's response, a pair of bronze hands appeared in his sight. They took a spoon and poured the bird's nest and shredded chicken soup into a small bowl, and placed it very naturally next to Qiandai's plate.

"It's still Gu Aiqing's deep loneliness."

Qiandai picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. Her sharp phoenix eyes softened a lot.

This Gu Xuanmu is very sensible, very good, very powerful. She has been optimistic about him since she was young.

Moreover, she found that the bowl of soup was filled with shredded chicken and meat.

As soon as Qiandai said this, Xie Yuwei tightened the chopsticks in his hand and lowered his eyelashes to hide the gloom in his eyes.

Compared with Gu Xuanmu, he who asked that question just now was nothing but a clown.

[The progress bar has risen again!!!]

Compared with 777's excitement, Qiandai took another sip of the soup very calmly.

When Gu Xuanmu received the praise, his heart felt as sweet as if it was soaked in a jar of honey.

This feeling is slightly different from the joy of winning a battle.

He tried to find some words to describe this feeling, but his mind was empty and he had no idea how to describe it accurately.

Gu Xuanmu finally came to the conclusion: It should be just the ordinary happiness of being praised.

He didn't continue to delve into why he was so happy when he was praised by Qiandai.

-

During dinner, Qiandai lazily half-lay on the couch, half-closed her eyes, one hand resting on the low table, with a look of contentment on her face.

Gu Xuanmu stood there with his tall figure, his eyes wandering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

In the past, if he saw Qian Dai lying down after dinner, he would probably scold her, but now all he could think about was -

His Majesty is kind of cute when he is full and lazy.

Qiandai's fingers were wrapped around the ribbon of the jade pendant at her waist, and she swung the pendant for fun, saying casually, "I discussed this with Lord Qiansheng yesterday, and Lord Qiansheng agreed to deliver 10,000 dan of grain to me every month during the war between Linzhao and Wei."

Seeing that they were talking about serious matters, Gu Xuanmu regained his composure and looked puzzled: "Are you serious?"

As far as he knew, Qiansheng was the richest among the four countries, but its monarch was very stingy. How could he be willing to spend so much money to help them?

The monthly ten thousand shi of grain was not promised casually.

"Of course he has the intention of seeking peace. A man who knows the times is a hero. Lin Zhao is at war with Wei, so naturally he doesn't want Wei to win." Qiandai concealed the truth and found another reason.

Gu Xuanmu believed it, and as if he had thought of something, he spoke excitedly: "If that's the case, then we can move our troops forward."

Qian Dai nodded, "Yes, I came to you this time just to discuss the specific matters."

Xie Yuwei had a worried look on his face, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "If Qiansheng is willing to help Lin Zhao, it would indeed be a good thing, but if Your Majesty trusts them wholeheartedly, it would be too risky. I think we should be prepared for both situations. It would be best to wait until next autumn to stock up on food, and then it would not be too late to send troops."

"Xie Yuwei, but I can't wait any longer."

Qiandai called his name neither too loudly nor too softly. This was the first time she called him like that. There was not the slightest hint of intimacy, just the distance between a monarch and his subject.

Xie Yuwei's heart seemed to be squeezed by a big hand. He felt very uncomfortable and uttered "yes" dryly.

In the past, no matter what he said, His Majesty would never refute it.

Now she seemed no longer as tolerant of him as before.

It turned out that he had disobeyed her majesty as the emperor, and she would be angry with him.

"That's right!" Gu Xuanmu and Qiandai hit it off immediately, and the belligerent gene in his body was aroused. He said domineeringly, "Fight! Fight now!"

He is not like Xie Yuwei, who always thinks twice before doing anything and is timid.

Qiandai's pretty eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth curled up: "Gu Aiqing is indeed a soldier who gallops on the battlefield. I really admire your fearless spirit."

Xie Yu opened his mouth slightly, his Adam's apple moved but he didn't say anything in the end. He lowered his head, his eyelashes cast a shadow, and he felt depressed.

He knew that His Majesty's words were not meant to be insinuating, but he couldn't help but speculate in his heart:

To her, is Gu Xuanmu more to her liking than him, and is he... inferior to Gu Xuanmu in every way?

"In addition, I have a few suggestions..."

Qiandai sat up straight, and a gleam of light flashed across her bright phoenix eyes.

She said to Gu Xuanmu: "General Gu, the military merit system in the barracks needs to be changed."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

There was no dissatisfaction on Gu Xuanmu's face, and he looked like he was listening attentively.

When Xie Yuwei saw him like this, his eyes darkened.

Before, Gu Xuanmu relied on the military power in his hands and did not allow anyone in the court to interfere in military affairs.

Under the pressure he exerted, no minister in the court dared to question his decisions.

Now, facing His Majesty, he acted as if he didn't care what the Emperor said, and he really restrained his edge.

He felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety rising in his heart.

Now, His Majesty treats Gu Xuanmu more and more friendly, and Gu Xuanmu also clearly shows goodwill towards His Majesty.

Originally, he wanted to wait for the opportunity as Luo Junyi said, but if he waited any longer, it would give Gu Xuanmu an opportunity to take advantage of him.

No, he must make His Majesty understand his intentions as soon as possible.

As for the love poem that Luo Junyi mentioned, if it is really as useful as he said, he will definitely come to express his gratitude in person.
