The Flower in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water finally get married

It's still the same peach garden, the same petals are flying down, and the same sitting and drinking.When the targets were replaced by Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenshuo, the atmosphere became tense and confrontational.

The two did not speak, they toasted each other and drank it all in one gulp, possessing an aura and oppression that others could not intervene.

Xia Chenshuo was leaving Yanjing in the evening, and he needed to make a final agreement with King Xuan.

He didn't talk nonsense, straight to the point, "The 12 troops in Ruan Ji's hands are the biggest threat, and I hope His Highness can borrow troops from me. After Ruan Ji is killed, we will encircle and suppress the officers and soldiers with the least casualties. It can also suppress the Yin family at the same time."

Xiao Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and asked, "Then the third prince agreed to the king's conditions?"

Xia Chenshuo sneered, but didn't answer directly, and said in a sharp tone, "Dayan has a lot of appetite, and all the mining in Yujun and Licheng for seven years will belong to you. This business seems unfair, doesn't it?"

Yujun and Jicheng are the regions with the richest mineral resources in Xiaguo, and their output of gold, iron ore and copper mines is higher than that of any mining region in Dayan.

This is also the reason why Xia Chenshuo has not finalized the alliance for a long time.Mineral resources are the foundation of fortifications, and gold mines are a waste of money.After giving Dayan seven years in this way, he really felt unwilling.

King Xuan really didn't suffer at all when he started business.

Xiao Haoxuan laughed after hearing this, the law set by the heavens is the law of the jungle, "I don't know if it's fair or not, but I think this deal is a good deal for the third prince."

Xia Chenshuo gave the hand with the wine glass a pause, and then drank the Yuqiong juice without changing his face.

"Since ancient times, forming an alliance has meant that everyone takes what they need. What Dayan wants is benefits, and there is no need for Xia Guo to bow his head and bow down and offer sacrifices to the court. Xia Guo is still an independent and complete country, and the third prince only needs to approve the mineral mining order. Isn’t it worth it to exchange for a stable government and clear politics? If the five aristocratic families are still dominant, how much of that gold, copper and iron will enter the treasury?”

Xia Chenshuo raised the corners of his mouth, unable to refute.King Xuan's eyes are too poisonous, and his mind is too clear.

Xiao Haoxuan changed the subject, and said calmly, "Dayan will bring the most advanced mining and metallurgical technology at the same time. I believe that the third prince is a person with a long-term vision."

Xia Chenshuo naturally knew what this meant. Dayan's iron and steel smelting technology was far superior to that of neighboring countries.If Xia Guo can learn from it, the productivity and combat effectiveness of the army will be greatly improved.

Xiao Haoxuan is not worried about technology rumors, he is broad-minded and broad-minded.Cultural and technological exchanges and cooperation are an inevitable process for development.If Xia Guo really rises suddenly based on this in the future, then as Xia Chenhuan said, the ruts of history are rolling, how can they stop them.

Xia Chenshuo's smile became real. Looking at Xiao Haoxuan, he did not hide his admiration at all, "Your Highness is not only talented in governing the country, but also eloquent. He will not be defeated in a verbal battle."

Xiao Haoxuan smiled meaninglessly, implying something in his words, "The third prince is not bad either."

He originally limited the mining time to be longer, but Xia Chenshuo pushed it down to seven years step by step.It is undeniable that this person is also very shrewd.

Xia Chenshuo lowered his eyes for a moment, and raised his eyes again to be calm. He raised his glasses with both hands, solemnly, "May the two countries of Yanxia and Qinjin be as good as Qin and Jin, and never meet each other in battle."

Xiao Haoxuan had a genuine smile in his eyes, and raised his glass with both hands.The two clinked glasses and drank it all, and clapped their hands together to form an alliance.

The cooperation agreement between the two parties was thus reached.

Xia Chenshuo went to see Xia Chenhuan again, and the two sat on the porch to say goodbye.The guards and servant girls were kicked out, and the shadow guards were also watched by the black-clothed swordsman.

Xia Chenshuo's throat was tight, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know when I will see you again today, you must take care of yourself."

Xia Chenhuan pursed her lips and nodded vigorously, feeling uncontrollably sad, unable to point out that the separation between the two of them this time meant life and death.

He stared at the man and pulled out a smile, "Third brother should also cherish himself, the road ahead will be thorny and bumpy, I only hope that third brother is cautious and the world is the most important."

Xia Chenshuo's eyes were firm, with determination and sadness, and he said solemnly, "You have to wait to see me ascend the throne, see me give the people a stable life, and see Xia Guohai Qingheyan."

Absolutely, absolutely not to die!

Xia Chenhuan knew what the third brother didn't say, so he tried his best to smile brightly, "I want to see it, I really want to see it."

Xia Chenshuo couldn't say another word, the two looked at each other, clasped their hands tightly, everything was kept silent.

Xia Chenshuo left Zeng Jun and Lu Runxi behind, and sneaked out of Yanjing with the rest of them just like when he came.

Xia Guo is calm on the surface, but in fact the undercurrent is raging, and the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Xia Chenshuo must first arrange his forces, find the right time to kill Ruan Ji, and then control his troops.Afterwards, he couldn't hide his thoughts any longer, Emperor Xia and the Yin family needed to be dealt with immediately.

All of this must be done in extreme secrecy, and nothing can be revealed before the attack, which will take at least six or seven months.

In comparison, Dayan was peaceful.

Remarkable results were achieved in disaster control in the Yellow River last year.The total area of ​​farmland has been basically maintained, and the excavated reservoirs have stored sufficient agricultural water in winter.The imperial court distributed the seedlings purchased and cultivated in advance to the farmers, and the spring plowing was carried out in an orderly and smooth manner.

And the lower reaches of the Yangtze River had a bumper harvest last year, and the cultivated area has expanded again this year, and the weather is smooth and orderly.

In addition, at the end of the year, the officialdom was properly regulated, the promotion and promotion were balanced, and the government was stable.

Yanjing was very peaceful after Xia Chenshuo left.Xia Chenhuan couldn't do anything else before the incident happened except to receive the news in time and judge and analyze for the third brother.

What's more, Xiao Haoxuan really wanted someone to have a safe and secure pregnancy. He not only monitored the situation in Xia Guo thoroughly, but also communicated with Xia Chenshuo to make plans at any time, so that Xia Chenhuan would not be worried.

Moreover, he also asked Li Wen, Lianqiu and Liandong to take care of the mansion and take care of all the troublesome errands.Xia Chenhuan just needs to decide on major issues and give orders, and he can't be tired.

As for Xia Chenhuan's desire to go to Jishitang to practice medicine, Xiao Haoxuan originally disagreed.He is worried that the pregnant woman is weak and easily infected, and it is not suitable to take medicine when she is sick.

But Xia Chenhuan's mind is restless. If he doesn't study medicine to save people, and has something to rely on and focus on, he really can't stay in the mansion as if nothing happened.

In the end, Wu Tian made a promise that he would strictly screen patients, do a good job in epidemic prevention, and ensure the safety of the princess.

Xia Chenhuan insisted, but Xiao Haoxuan finally let go and allowed him to go to Jishitang every afternoon.But all medicines that affect the body and children must not be touched, and they must be back before dinner.

Xiao Haoxuan had more and more days to go back home to eat, from the eighty-nine days before going to Mount Li, to the thirteenth and fourteenth days after spring, to this month, he had dinner with Xia Chenhuan for more than twenty days.

After dinner, if there are no piles of affairs, Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenhuan will go for a walk in the garden together, play chess with him, listen to him play the piano, or discuss ancient history and political affairs.Xia Chenhuan's intelligence constantly refreshed Xiao Haoxuan's opinion of him, and the two exchanged and debated, but unexpectedly it became popular.

Even if Xiao Haoxuan didn't go home for dinner, he would definitely sleep with Xia Chenhuan in the west courtyard every day.

All the ferocious desires in the past were suppressed, and Xia Chenhuan could sit still in his arms, Xiao Haoxuan was used to having someone in his arms.

Xia Chenhuan became Xiao Haoxuan's habit and blended into his life.

It is naturally happy to see a lot of men Xia Chenhuan.But everything was so good that it was unreal, which made him feel like he was floating in the void.

Xiao Haoxuan's intimacy and care are actually because of the child in his belly, but Xia Chenhuan... is always moved by that tenderness, igniting long-extinguished hopes, and then extinguishing them again by himself.

Xia Chenhuan was sitting on the porch reading a book, remembering the kiss that Xiao Haoxuan had stamped on his forehead before going to bed last night, his eyes were confused and helpless, and the book in his hand slipped to the ground.

"Snapped."

Xia Chenhuan woke up with a start, before bending over, Qingyao had already picked up the book, patted it clean and handed it back to him.

The little girls are eccentric, and the princess indulges them again.She joked with a smile, "Princess lost all her books in a daze. Could it be that she was thinking about the prince?"

Xia Chenhuan was poked at the center of the matter, coughed twice in embarrassment, turned her head and did not answer.

Now even Qingyao and Lianqiu laughed, making Xia Chenhuan blush with embarrassment, but it was also much more relaxed.

After a while, he pursed his lips, and looked at Lianqiu hesitantly, "My lord, he likes children very much, right?"

Lianqiu is smart, and immediately understood what happened to Wang Hao's sadness just now.

The prince has indeed changed a lot recently, even they were surprised.

But it can't be said to be abrupt.

Probably the princess and the prince didn't even notice it.From the very beginning, the prince treated the concubine differently, and then gradually changed little by little, and they all noticed it.

Lianqiu smiled gently, and said with certainty, "The prince doesn't like children, he likes the princess who is pregnant with a child, and he likes you."

Xia Chenhuan was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, stopped talking, and looked into the distance with dark eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

The concubine was still worried, Lianqiu opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

In Prince Xuan's Mansion, there is a secret that is not considered a secret.The prince never issued a password-locking order, and he didn't even hide it when he did it, but no one dared to mention it.

In the past, Su Ling was not the only servant girl of the prince, and one of them had an impure mind, and vomited out Bizitang in hiding after Cheng Huan.

She was really pregnant as she wished, but before Xiao Haoxuan knew about it, she was given medicine and the child was aborted.

At that time, Lianqiu had just entered the mansion, he was cautious in his words and deeds, never violated the rules, and had good conduct, so he was transferred to the East Courtyard to serve him.

She always remembered that the butler whispered something in the prince's ear. The air pressure in the room was so low that she didn't dare to look up. She could only hear the extremely cold male voice say, "Kill it. If there is such a thing in the future, you, the butler, don't need it." It's done."

The prince is indeed very kind to the four princes and princesses, and he is not a person who cares about the background of the woman's family and has no sense of responsibility.But he didn't hesitate to speak at that time, it can be seen that the prince cares more about his heart than his blood.

So the princess does not need to be entangled.Lianqiu slightly raised the corners of her mouth, she would always believe it in the future.

Xia Chenhuan didn't stay in a daze for too long, the noise from outside the yard brought him back to his senses.After listening intently for a moment, Xia Chenhuan immediately burst into a bright smile.

The next moment, Haojun and Haoyuan rushed in with their short legs.Chasing after Si Chu and Nian Yi, Gu Yao was at the end.Several people are all happy.

"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!"

Xia Chenhuan hurriedly got up to meet him, the two little guys ran into his arms quickly, their smiles were as warm as the sun, and their big bright eyes stared at him flickeringly.

"Sister-in-law, we miss you very much."

"Sister-in-law, do you really have a baby in your belly?"

Xia Chenhuan smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Haoyuan and Haojun's eyes lit up, and they jumped up excitedly.

"Great! We have a new baby at home!"

"I'm finally not the youngest!"

Si Chu and Nian Yi have already experienced it once, and they are much calmer.One of them caught a reckless little guy so they wouldn't bump into Xia Chenhuan.

The two teenagers also couldn't hide their joy.Si Chu is already a handsome young man, congratulating him in a decent manner, "Congratulations, sister-in-law, Xuan Wang's mansion is about to add a little heir or a little princess."

Nian Yi added, "It could also be little Shuang'er. Shuang'er who is as gentle as a sister-in-law must be very cute."

Xia Chenhuan was taken aback, he actually didn't want this child to be Shuang'er, Shuang'er was always wronged.

Gu Yao, who hadn't been able to get a word in, was keenly aware of it, and he tapped Sichu and Nianyi's heads each, "It's not up to you to decide what happens! Boys, girls, and both are good, I want you all." Nephews and nieces should be loved and protected, you know?"

The four of them suddenly had a sense of mission, and answered loudly with straight faces, "I know!" The appearance of dying made Xia Chenhuan laugh.

Gu Yao also laughed, and a few people entered the house, making Xuan Wang's mansion extremely lively.

Gu Yao only found out about Xia Chenhuan's pregnancy in the outskirts of the city, and was overjoyed. The four children exploded in an instant, and they came straight to Xuanwang's mansion without even returning to the palace.

Gu Yao carefully asked about Xia Chenhuan's physical condition.

During this period, the four children were curious and excited, staring at their sister-in-law's belly without moving their eyes.The words poured out like a gate was opened, without interruption at all.

As soon as Xiao Haoxuan stepped into the west courtyard, he heard the sound of chirping. As soon as he entered the door, Haojun and Haoyuan hugged his legs.

"Brother Haoxuan! Haojun misses you very much!"

"Brother Haoxuan, I'm going to be an uncle!"

Xiao Haoxuan laughed out loud, "Yes, you are an uncle at such a young age."

The man picked up a doll in one hand and walked to the table, exchanged glances with Gu Yao, and then sat down next to Xia Chenhuan.

He saw that Xia Chenhuan looked tired. This person had recently started to lethargy, and he probably didn't rest with the children today.

Xiao Haoxuan caressed Xia Chenhuan's face, the temperature was slightly cooler.He frowned dissatisfied, and said in a deep voice, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you again before dinner."

Gu Yao stared blankly at Haoxuan's actions, blinked, and then smiled happily, "I was negligent, you go to rest. I'll take the four little ghost heads away."

Xia Chenhuan's cheeks were reddish, she was indeed sleepy, she nodded to Gu Yao, "Thank you mother", and went to sleep in the inner room.

When he woke up again, the room was filled with the afterglow of the setting sun, and in front of him was Xiao Haoxuan's sharp but gentle face.

"Go to dinner, you have to eat on time."

Xia Chenhuan didn't wake up for a while, did the prince really come to call him?

He nodded quickly, got up and asked Lianqiu to help change his clothes, and left the west courtyard with the man.

Xiao Haoxuan took Xia Chenhuan's hand, walked unhappily, and said in a deep voice, "Father and uncle are also here. Uncle is playing with some children in the courtyard. Let's go directly to the main hall."

"Yes", Xia Chenhuan obediently agreed, grabbed the man back and followed step by step.

The guards in the main hall were all removed, probably because Xiao Chuyi and Gu Yao were not happy.

The two walked all the way outside the hall, Xiao Haoxuan suddenly stopped in his tracks and froze.

Xia Chenhuan also heard a small human voice.

"...I really fell in love with Chen Yu."

"fortunately."

"Yeah, luckily he stepped out of my shadow."

Xiao Haoxuan suddenly let go of Xia Chenhuan's hand as if he had been hit in the head, and stood motionless with empty eyes.

The next moment, his fingertips trembled, his limbs went numb, and he closed his eyes in despair.

Xia Chenhuan's face was pale, he let out a short and convulsive breath, and looked at the man in fear.

Gu Yao knew that Gu Yao had always known that Xiao Haoxuan loved him.
