Heaven and earth return to one

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yunshen really announced that he had accepted Qiujue's invitation to make peace, and said that King Qiujue was coming to Yingzhong soon, and asked Hubu to follow Prince Duan to make good preparations.

Marquis An Guo angrily reprimanded Emperor Rong Hong for damaging Chengning's majesty, but Li Yunshen didn't care about him because he was the elder of the two dynasties, but his expression was extremely ugly.In the end, the emperor refused to listen to the persuasion and insisted on his own opinion. An Guohou resigned in public and left the hall without looking back. Li Yunshen was right.

No matter how ugly things are, the work has to be done.

After the court, Li Yunke was dragged away by the Minister of Rites. The preparation time was too short and the burden was heavy, so they had to worry.

Fortunately, this is not the first time that a foreign country has paid tribute. The Ministry of Rites is very experienced in doing this kind of thing. When Li Yunke went, he just took the lead and briefly talked to them about a few key precautions. up.

Li Yunke had other things in his mind, and the Ministry of Rites dealt with the problems faster, but after more than an hour, he left in a hurry.

All the officials in the Ministry of Rituals thought that Prince Duan was concerned about the dispute between Emperor Zao Shang and Marquis of An Guo, and wanted to mediate. They all lamented that it is not easy to be a prince, and they have to do such thankless things.

Little did he know that Li Yunke left the Ministry of Rites and went straight to the busiest street in Yingzhong, entered a candied fruit shop, a restaurant and a tailor's shop successively, and returned to the palace before noon.

In the back hall of Jingyuan, Kong Ying put four dishes and one soup on the table, and said to Nangongxuan who was dragged in by Xu Mingxi: "I don't know what the princess tastes like, so I asked the master to make it according to your taste. Apart from the lack of oil, the slave has nothing else to do." Please tell me, Wangfei, see if these dishes are still good today?"

"It doesn't need to be too troublesome." Nangongxuan sat down, not used to it, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Kong Ying nodded, "Those two take it easy."

After Kong Ying went out, Nangongxuan said to Xu Mingxi: "Find a time to tell him, don't call me that again, and don't call yourself a slave, I feel uncomfortable."

Xu Mingxi nodded with satisfaction at a table of meat and vegetable dishes, and agreed while eating.

Nangongxuan picked up the chopsticks and looked at the several dishes in front of him, but he didn't want to eat at all.He raised his hand for a long time, and finally put it down again, saying: "I don't have much appetite, you can eat alone."

"Hey?" Xu Mingxi hurriedly dropped his chopsticks, "How can that be, if you don't eat it, the leader, the child will eat it too!"

Before Nangong Xuan could say anything, Kong Ying ran in from the outside again, apologetically saying: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just wait a moment."

As he spoke, he actually put all the dishes on the table back on the tray that brought them in, and then went out with the tray.

Xu Mingxi: "..."

Nangong Xuan was also very surprised, "Why don't they give you food if I don't eat?"

Xu Mingxi wanted to cry but had no tears.

After a while, Kong Ying walked in again with a tray, but the dishes in the tray were different.

"Wow!" Xu Mingxi felt his saliva almost drooling when he looked at the four attractive dishes.But when Kong Ying put the dishes on the table one by one, he smelled them twice, and then began to hesitate to eat, "Why does it smell so sour?"

Kong Ying said: "Vinegar roasted carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, vinegared cabbage, fresh lotus root mixed with vinegar. The dishes are just brought back from Zhenweiju by the prince. The princess eats them while they are hot. See if they suit your taste. If you like them, call us later. The masters of the palace follow this taste."

"..." Xu Mingxi sniffed, feeling like sneezing from the sour smell, "Then how can I live?"

It seemed that he had indeed overheard the conversation with Xu Mingxi last night, but why didn't he become more angry, and instead brought these for himself?

The sour and fragrant smell kept circling him, which really made him feel a little hungry.Nangong Xuan took a bite out of a piece of lotus root, it was so fragrant and crispy that he couldn't help but want to eat more.

Kong Ying knew it after seeing his expression, and said happily: "The princess is slow to use, and the slave will leave."

"Wait a minute," Nangong Xuan unconsciously scraped his nails twice on the chopsticks, and said, "Your lord...is here?"

"Here we are, in the courtyard. This servant will help you invite the prince here." Kong Ying said, and was about to leave the house briskly.

Nangong Xuan blurted out for some reason: "Don't look for him!"

Kong Ying was walking to the door, stunned for a moment, and said: "My lord..."

Nangong Xuan was also startled, and his two eyebrows began to squeeze together.

Li Yunke who was outside the door did not go any further, his whole body was hidden behind the door, and he handed the things he was carrying to Kong Ying, saying: "This is the clothes I mentioned earlier, I don't have enough time, I just rush You have made such a set, you can give it to him first, and you can ask someone to get it back in a few days. There is still something to do with the Ministry of Rites, so I will leave first."

"My lord, wait a minute, you should have something to eat..."

Xu Mingxi looked at Nangongxuan in a daze, not knowing what to say, and did not dare to continue eating.

The hall became quiet, and it was uncomfortably stuffy.

After a while, Kong Ying came back again, with a forced smile and said: "My lord, my lord said that your clothes might be tight, so when I came back, I asked someone to take your old clothes to a familiar tailor shop, and give them according to the size. You have brought a new set, only the waist and abdomen have been made wider, but the other parts are still the same. There are also two packs of sour plums for your appetizer, and the servant will send them to your room together? "

Nangong Xuan couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, so he just nodded expressionlessly.

When Kong Ying went out, Xu Mingxi said cautiously: "Master, you...do you still eat?"

"Eat, why don't you eat it?" Nangong Xuan put a piece of fish into his mouth, "It tastes very good, don't waste it."

For the next few days, Li Yunke didn't go to Jingyuan again, leaving early and returning late every day, and there was no one in sight.

Since the first fetal movement, the baby began to move a lot, and it became more and more obvious, and the little thing was still a black and white upside down, it was quite honest in Nangongxuan's stomach during the day, but it often came to sleep at night. Toss him, sometimes even after a while.

For several consecutive nights, Nangongxuan couldn't sleep because of the abdominal pain, and his spirit was obviously much worse than before.

Xu Mingxi didn't know it at first, it was only after seeing his face in the past few days that he realized it. After questioning, he heard that it was because of the fetal movement, and he had no choice but to come and accompany Nangongxuan at night.

Nangong Xuan thought it was okay and could bear it, but as July [-]th approached, he became anxious again.

Xu Mingxi wanted to persuade him to take the initiative to find Li Yunke once, but after thinking about it with his toes, he knew that the leader of his family would definitely not agree; he also thought that he could invite Li Yunke on his own, but he walked around the palace several times and asked No one in the mansion knew where Li Yunke was.

Did he really disregard the safety of the leader when he got angry?Xu Mingxi thought, if this is the case, maybe the palace really shouldn't stay for a long time.

Li Yunke has been spending these days in the Ministry of Rites, working with them every night until late at home.

Tonight is the Ghost Festival, other officials left early, he thought he had nothing to do when he went home, so he stayed alone in the Ministry of Rites.It was the third time the soldiers who had been staying at night came in to look at him, and he got up and stretched himself, and walked back unhurriedly.

On the night of July [-]th, Yingzhong, which has always been bustling, was deserted as soon as it got dark. There were not a few lights left on both sides of the street that were always on all night, and they glowed dimly in the empty street.

Li Yunke was walking alone on the quiet street, thinking that there was nothing Nangongxuan could do if he didn't want to see him tonight, there were only two times a month, so he could bear it, right?

When I returned to the palace just after Haishi, Li Yunke felt that it was still early, and wanted to find something to do by himself, and then go to Jingyuan before midnight.

But as soon as he entered the mansion, Kong Ying, who got the news, ran out of the mansion and said, "My lord, there is movement in the princess's room. I went to take a look. Through the window, I saw Dr. Xu walking back and forth inside, as if he was in a hurry. .”

Li Yunke immediately remembered that when Xu Mingxi was in the Qingsong Inn more than two months ago, he knew that something must have happened to Nangongxuan again, so he hurried towards Jingyuan.

Nangongxuan had endured the pain for half an hour, and he still acted calmly in front of Xu Mingxi, but he wasn't worried at all.

If this drags on, what should I do when the time comes?Suddenly I miss Li Yunke's warm palm, but that person probably won't come tonight...

Xu Mingxi didn't know that Li Yunke had successfully used internal energy to help Nan Gongxuan relieve pain, and he didn't dare to use medicine, so he was in a hurry.He thought, Nangongxuan could ask Li Yunke for help when he lacked internal strength, but if he couldn't even practice the kung fu, could he still drag Li Yunke over and let Nangongxuan bear the pain and do that kind of thing with him when the time came?

Otherwise, let Nan Gongxuan fall in love and tell him to come with Li Yunke again without knowing it.But in that case, will Nangongxuan hate herself to death in the future?

While hesitating, the door was pushed open.

Li Yunke walked in quickly, with no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"My lord," Xu Mingxi said in a daze, "it's still early..."

Li Yunke ignored him, sat down on the edge of the bed, and without speaking, directly hugged Nangongxuan who was lying on his side on the bed, and let him lean against his chest.

Nangongxuan had never seen him treat her like this, and she felt a little repulsed in her body and heart for a while, so she struggled, "Let go..."

Seeing that he only said two or three words, Xu Mingxi shut her mouth, moved her hand covering her stomach to her chest, hurriedly took out the medicine, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Li Yunke's hand just filled the empty space above his lower abdomen, sending his internal force in smoothly.

Xu Mingxi didn't understand, so, "This is..."

The medicine was in his mouth but he didn't swallow it, but Nangongxuan felt that his breathing was not so uncomfortable.He felt the warmth of Li Yunke's palm, and suddenly realized that he had been expecting him to come.

How about a fifth chapter tomorrow?
