☆, this world will be fine

"My lord...today..." Ruohua lowered his head and thought to himself, it's time to settle accounts after autumn.

"You did a good job." Si Nian sat down to Ruohua

Ruohua thought about how to sincerely admit his mistake, but Si Nian actually told himself, did he do a good job?What does it mean?So Ruohua, who couldn't believe her ears, asked again:

"My lord, what did you say?"

"You did a good job." Si Nian saw that Ruohua's face was full of disbelief, and the usual sly look was gone, but he found it interesting, "There should be some mistakes today."

Ruohua didn't realize it: "The mistake in the previous design is not like this..."

"Everything didn't go exactly as planned."

"But...Prince..." Ruohua still felt a little nervous when he thought of the prince being attacked by envoys.

"You are doing the prince a favor by doing this."

Ruohua was a little surprised: "Why?"

"Iron casting is related to the military. Nan Zhiben will not exchange it with us just because of farming."

Ruohua thought about Si Nian's words carefully, and then thought of what happened today, so he couldn't help but understand.If Si Nian didn't come to rescue in the end, Nan Zhi country could get more benefits by entanglement, but since Si Nian came and settled his own affairs, Nan Zhi couldn't make any further entanglement.Coupled with Nan Zhi's envoy's rude attitude towards the prince before, it was even more difficult for Nan Zhi to make too many demands.

Ruohua looked at Si Nian who was sitting opposite her, and couldn't help thinking, it would be okay if it was all an accident this time, but if Si Nian and the prince had planned it...it shouldn't be possible, Ruohua secretly went from top to bottom After looking at Si Nian again, what happened today should be an accident no matter how you think about it.Ruohua was a little relieved, how could a dignified prince and a gentle prince have such a foresighted strategy, he must be thinking too much.

"You rest for another two days, and then go to court when you recover from your injury."

"Thank you, my lord." Ruohua understood that although he said he was waiting for his injury to heal, he should actually wait for Nan Zhiguo's group to leave the capital.

"Have you recovered some of your previous memories?" Si Nian asked suddenly.

Ruohua was startled, could it be that he has revealed some flaws?

"The memory is still hazy."

Si Nian thought that Ruohua was not dissatisfied or anxious when he was made things difficult by the envoys today. When he went by himself, the young man's thin body dragged his heavy dress soaked in water, and he just stood there quietly with his head bowed. After watching Ruohua a lot: "You can bear a lot."

"If I don't bear with today's matter, I'm afraid it will spoil the business."

"It's hard for you too." Si Nian's words were sincere.

Ruohua was stunned for a moment, but then said:

"It is my honor to serve the prince."

After Ruohua finished speaking, Si Nian remained silent for a long time.Just when Ruohua was thinking in her heart whether she had said something wrong, she heard Si Nian muttering in a low voice:

"For the prince...?"

Si Nian raised his head, looked at Ruohua and asked, his voice seemed softer than before and asked:

"Ruohua, why do you want to be an official in the court?"

"It's only natural for a son to inherit his father's career." For some reason, Ruohua heard some fatigue from Si Nian's tone, as if there was something hidden in it, but it couldn't burst out.

"For such a reason, do you think I will believe it?" Although Si Nian said so, his tone did not have the usual severity and sense of distance.

Ruohua became more courageous. This prince is not a stupid person. Since he asked this question, it would be better if he chatted with him half-truthfully, so he changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the bed, with some Laughing and asking Si Nian:

"Then why does the prince think I want to be an official?"

"You are very smart."

"My lord, is this a compliment?" Ruohua heard Si Nian seriously say that he was smart, but he had an indescribable subtle feeling, "Since the lord thinks I'm smart, why can't I make some achievements in the court?"

"Your talent is enough to accomplish a career, so why bother to get involved in party disputes?" Si Nian asked bluntly, thinking of Ruohua's vacillating probing attitude towards the prince and King Mao these days.

Ruohua smiled lightly, but did not hide it:

"The prince should know better than me these years in the court. The so-called neutrality may last a lifetime, but he will never be able to see the top view." What's more, he is the one who wants to stand on the highest position, Ruohua said in his heart the second half of the sentence.

Seeing Ruohua's self-confidence with ease, Si Nian couldn't help sighing and said, "Why are you so ambitious."

"Isn't the lord still in the court, so why should you sigh at me?" If Hua thought that Si Nian would do his best to help the prince, he should be unwilling to accept the current situation. If the prince ascends to a high position in the future, Si Nian must also be in the same position. high weight.Although he is already a royal prince, human beings are always greedy.Desires and rights are forever.

"In the emperor's house, there are some things that cannot be let go."

"Then the prince only needs to do his best. Why choose one side."

"It's just that there is no other choice." Si Nian turned his head to look outside, his eyes seemed to see far away, "I just want this land to be safe."

Ruohua looked at Si Nian's side face and was speechless for a moment.He thought of his previous life, the imperial grandmother was seriously ill but he still insisted on leading troops to the border, he trusted some ministers in the court whom he knew were suspected of corruption, and he married a Princess Weiying whom he had never seen before. Was it what he wanted? He just had no choice.He was just trying to keep his own world.

Ruohua looked at Si Nian and thought to himself, maybe this person doesn't want to disturb the muddy waters of the court, but it is true: born in the emperor's family, the world cannot let him go.

"This world will be fine." Ruohua said firmly word by word.In this life, the world will definitely be as he wishes.

Si Nian turned around in surprise, looking at Ruohua who said this, feeling a sense of shock.At this moment, Si Nian felt that the person in front of him was not the sick son, not the gluttonous young man, not the clever and cunning Minister of Rites, but a seasoned king.Although there are only six characters, it is enough to feel the extraordinary momentum.

But Si Nian looked at the fair and clean young man who was still injured, squinting his eyes and smiling at himself, and felt that maybe he was thinking too much.

So he whispered, "I hope so."

"I will do my best to help the prince."

"It's fine if you can protect yourself well." For some reason, Si Nian secretly didn't want Ruohua to do anything.It would be nice for this boy to be alive and kicking like this forever, "You have a good rest, I'll let the small kitchen prepare dinner for you."

Ruohua couldn't help smiling wider at Sinian:

"Thank you, Lord."

Seeing Ruohua like this, Si Nian felt itchy in his heart.So he coughed lightly, turned his head away, and said:

"Then I'll go back first."

"My lord, go slowly."

However, when Ruohua saw a pile of medicinal supplements on his table, his face collapsed: If I knew it was wrong, the prince smiled so well, what the hell is this.You know, he doesn't like to eat medicinal food the least.

Ruohua scratched the ginseng soup with a spoon angrily, while cursing Sinian in his heart.

Si Nian on the other side sneezed: Is it cold again?

At this time, the prince was in his own palace, holding the writing paper improved by the cast iron technique from Cang Lin, and smiled with satisfaction.

"Siming, let's go to Prince Yan's Mansion another day. I should thank my uncle for this matter."

"It's still your highness who has a delicate mind."

"I just saw that the eldest prince has some interest in Lin Lang, so I'm just going with the flow." Qi Guang stood up and handed the paper to Ji Ming, "My uncle guessed that something would go wrong with Lin Lang early in the morning, and Cang Lin should take it in the end." Ruohua is in trouble. We can prepare in advance, right?"

Ji Ming took the paper and nodded slightly.

"As for that Ruohua..." Qi Guang smiled lightly, "Let's play chess with him another day, it's really interesting."

"Your Highness, rest early."

"Jiming, would you like to drink some wine with me today?" Qi Guang pulled Jiming's sleeve.

"Your Highness..." Ji Ming frowned.

"That's the deal, you bring the wine from Taolinzhuang to my bedroom at night. I will send the palace servants away."

"If you don't send them away, they won't be able to find me."

"Yes, yes, you are the best." Qi Guang knew that Jiming was always fussing over these trivial matters, so he coaxed him with a smile.

Now that Ming looked at the person in front of him, his heart that was suspended during the day was finally slightly let go.Others don't care about him, but this person is the only one who knows that he can't see him being wronged.

"Go, I'll wait for you."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After Qi Guang saw that Jiming had left, he walked around the huge main hall of the Grand Palace with his hands behind his back.Sighed slightly.

The author has something to say: Mint really likes Qi Guang and Ji Ming more and more~(///)

Generally speaking, Qi Guang is actually very kind, but sometimes he is forced to be helpless in the position of prince.

And—Si Nian is going to start a routine for our emotionally blank paper~

Carrying away or something is not a dream.

☆, rewarded

A few days later, Nan Zhi and his party left the capital.Ruohua's injuries have already healed.

During the few days of recuperation, no matter what Ruohua said, Odan would not let him move around at will.And Ruohua really didn't know how to deal with such concern, so he just lay down on the bed honestly for a few days.It's just that I can't help but feel depressed. This time I contacted Nan Zhi's people, but I didn't get any useful information, but I was in a mess.

When Ruohua knew that she could go back to the court hall, she thought in her heart that the emperor would definitely ask about the reception, what should she say?

The next day, Ruohua got up early and had breakfast, and then followed Si Nian's carriage into the palace.

"Is the injury healed?" Si Nian looked at Ruohua's chest and lower abdomen.

Ruohua was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Si Nian, so he twisted his body slightly: "Thanks to the care of the prince, there is nothing serious."

Si Nian withdrew his gaze: "You need to be more careful in the future."

"I'll pay attention later."

Si Nian looked out the window, and the two were silent for a while.

Si Nian suddenly looked at Ruohua, and asked, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Aha?" Ruohua was thinking about what to say in court today, but suddenly she couldn't respond to Si Nian's question.

"No...it's nothing." Immediately after Si Nian opened his mouth, he also felt that he was a bit abrupt, but he just saw a famous restaurant in the capital passing by, so he thought that Yi Nian had a greedy temper, so he probably liked it.But how could I think of this person in front of me so naturally?Si Nian was a little embarrassed.

Ruohua really didn't hear what Sinian asked herself, so she sneaked a glance at Sinian who was stiff-necked and turned to look out the window, thinking: Could it be because I was distracted and angry.

Fortunately, it was not far from Miyagi, and we arrived in a short while.Si Nian got out of the car first, and walked in front with some quick steps.After Ruohua got out of the car, he found that the two of them had drawn a certain distance, and couldn't help curling his lips: This prince is really stingy, I just didn't hear it, why are you angry?

Ruohua was not in a hurry to catch up, there was still some time before the court, so he just swayed slowly.

"Ruohua—" Suddenly he heard someone calling himself behind him, and when Ruohua turned around, he saw Lin Lang striding towards him.

"Brother Lang, you came so early today."

"I had to get up early every day in the past few days, but I didn't sleep long this morning." Lin Lang said with a sigh.Thinking of Cang Lin's icy face following him lingeringly in the next few days, Lin Lang felt tired for a while.

"Thank you Lang for the reception." Hearing Lin Lang's complaint, Ruohua thought that all the reception matters in the next few days should be left to Lin Lang.I haven't heard of any trouble.It is not easy for Lin Lang's upright temper not to cause trouble again.

"It's hard work..." Lin Lang looked at Ruohua with a sincere face, but felt a little embarrassed, "It's you, the prince didn't make things difficult for you after returning that day, right?"

"My lord didn't say much. This time, I was the one who got Brother Lang involved." Ruohua apologized, "When I have time some other day, Brother Lang must give Ruohua a chance to express his apology."

"Don't be like this," Lin Lang frantically stopped Ruohua's apology, "I was at fault for this incident, you don't blame me for being rude, but apologized to me instead, how can there be such a reason."

"After all, it's me..." Ruohua lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"Let's not talk about this in the future, since you call me Brother Lang, I'm willing to help you." Lin Lang looked at Ruohua as if he felt very guilty, and said quickly.

"Brother Lang..." Ruohua looked up at Lin Lang, hesitant to speak.

"Ah Hua, although you may not remember clearly, you will always be my closest person in the capital except for my parents at home." Lin Lang saw Ruohua looking at him like this since he was a child, and he wanted to take his last Give him all the good things. After all these years, this point seems to have not changed in the slightest. "Go to the main hall, let's go to the teahouse another day and talk about it in detail."

"Okay, listen to Brother Lang." Ruohua smiled sweetly.

Lin Lang: Oh my god, why is Ruohua always so cute.

Above the main hall, as expected, the emperor mentioned Nan Zhi's matter.

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have done a very good job on the visit of Nan Zhi's envoy." The emperor was very satisfied when he saw the wrought-iron documents presented by the crown prince, "Especially Shang Shu, I heard that you are a master planner. "

Although the emperor didn't say anything in detail, Ruohua understood that the crown prince probably attributed all the improvement techniques that he earned without much trouble and almost for nothing to himself.It's just...why did the crown prince do this? It wouldn't be of much benefit to him to push all the credit to his courtiers?Could it be that he intends to win over himself?

Because of the emperor's words, almost everyone in the court turned their attention to the young minister who entered the court not long ago.All kinds of thoughts also began to surge.

Ruohua felt the complicated gazes around her, and raised her eyes slightly to look in the direction of the prince, while Qi Guang was still standing by the emperor's side with a slight smile.Can not see any waves.

Ruohua stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed:

"The lower officials are stupid, and I really can't complete this task with my own strength. Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Lin for being around and His Royal Highness Mao Wang for his advice."

"Oh? King Mao?" The emperor raised his eyebrows with surprise.

"Yes," Ruohua stood up and saluted, "A few days ago, I had a chat with His Highness Mao Wang, and His Highness Mao Wang saw that the official was young, so he mentioned a few words. After the official returned, I thought about it carefully, This time it was really helpful.”

"Yu'er, is there such a thing?"

Although Yuyue intends to intervene in this matter, since she is in charge of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of Si Nian himself, there is no chance at all.Ruohua actually included him in this credit today, which surprised him very much.

A few days ago, Yuyue sent someone to inquire and learned that Ruohua had been living in Yanwang Mansion. She thought that this person would not be able to win over, so she didn't work hard, but today... Looking at Ruohua, he thought to himself: This person may be useful.

Yuyue took a step forward and bowed to salute:

"My son was just casually chatting with Shangshu that day, so I really can't say anything." Yuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked sideways at Ruohua, the tear mole at the corner of her eye was particularly conspicuous, "Shangshu is smart, and he is so meticulous in doing things at a young age. You are modest and eager to learn. This time things went so smoothly, thanks to Xiang Shangshu."

Ruohua heard that Yuyue praised her so much, but she couldn't be happy.Now he just wants to spread the credit to others, and he understands the truth of beating the top bird with a stick, not to mention that at his own age, if he is too conspicuous in the court now, although it is a moment of glory, he will inevitably have more suspicions in the future. It's not good to go up.

But Yuyue had already spoken out, and Ruohua couldn't continue to evade, so she just bowed to Yuyue.

"You have done a good job, and you will be rewarded this time." The emperor was in a good mood, "I rewarded the crown prince with a topaz stone carving, Mao Wang's opal stone, Mr. Lin's emerald jade waist, and was promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for Mr. Xiang …Admiring the three oblique pearls, warming a piece of jade, and raising the salary by one level.”

Those who received the reward: "Thank you, Your Majesty" & "Thank you, Father."

When Ruohua knelt down to thank the reward, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were more people receiving the reward this time, and Lin Lang was promoted to a higher level, so he wouldn't be too conspicuous.

☆、Glutinous rice tea cake

——Facing backward

Since Si Nian still had business to do, he went directly to the Ministry of Rites.

And Ruohua also intends to slow down, for today's up-and-coming matter, that person should come to him...

"Xiang Shangshu." Sure enough, as soon as Ruohua stepped out of the door of the main hall, Yuyue stopped Ruohua.

Ruohua stopped and saluted slightly: "What advice does Lord Mao have?"

"Shangshu is so smart, why do you need to teach me?" Yuyue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Father should really appreciate Shangshu's strategy this time. I asked for that piece of warm jade before, and Father was not willing to give it."

"My lord is serious. This time, thanks to your guidance, I was able to win the Sacred Heart."

Seeing that Ruohua really thanked herself in a decent way, Yuyue couldn't help admiring him even more.People who know how to be cautious in their words and deeds, and who can do their acting well will definitely come in handy in the future.It's just——to have such a mind at such a young age, maybe it's not good to be too good.Yuyue thought so far, a cold light flashed in her eyes.But because Ruohua saluted with her head down, she didn't see Yuyue's expression.

Yuyue quickly regained her expression:

"You don't need to be too polite to your lord. I don't know when your lord will come to my military department for a while."

Ruohua's eyes lit up when he heard the Ministry of War, but he couldn't make it too obvious, so he pretended to evade:

"The lower official is just a civil servant, I'm afraid it's going to the Ministry of War..."

"The Ministry of War is full of rough people. I want to drink tea and chat with no one to find." Yuyue took out a jade token from her bosom, gently took Ruohua's hand, and put the jade token in Ruohua's palm, Putting Ruohua's four fingers together and bending inward, hold it, "My lord and I should be only three years apart in age, so we must have a lot in common, don't we?"

Yuyue squinted her eyes as if asking, but Ruohua could feel the power coming from her hand, so she might not return this jade tablet.But it was also in harmony with his heart, so Ruohua also chuckled, put the waist badge into his sleeves, and leaned over gently:

"It's good that the prince doesn't dislike being an official who is superficial and boring."

"How could it be?" Yu Yue said with her hands behind her back, "Then I will wait for Shang Shu tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

Ruohua heaved a sigh of relief seeing Yuyue walking away.It seems that today's step up is not wrong, but - Ruohua sighed, and resigned to his fate and walked towards the Ministry of Rites. He still needs to find an excuse to explain this matter to Si Nian.Ruohua didn't want to annoy Si Nian, so she was thrown out of Prince Yan's mansion early on.Among other things, such a good place to eat and drink for nothing, where can I find it.

Ruohua stepped into the gate of the Ministry of Rites and saw Si Nian sitting upright looking at the documents.

Seeing Ruohua come in, Si Nian put down the things in his hands, leaned back, held the handle of the couch with both hands, and said:

"I didn't know that your idea was suggested by King Mao."

Si Nian's voice was not loud, but Ruohua still felt a chill.But Ruohua didn't show panic or cover up deliberately, but he saluted generously and stood with his hands behind his back:

"That's all for others to hear in the hall."

"This is the path you chose to make the world a better place?" Si Nian's voice was a little chilly.

"I have never intended to return to King Shunmao."

"Then why do you push the credit to him today?"

"Then why did the prince give me all the credit?" Ruohua asked back.

After hearing Ruohua's words, Si Nian was suddenly startled.In today's court, the emperor only mentioned Ruohua at first, so it can be seen that when Qi Guang reported to the emperor, he only mentioned Ruohua, and he should have greatly appreciated it.It is very helpful to get the emperor's appreciation, but if Hua has not been in the court for less than a month, the prince personally introduced him at the beginning, and he has already received little attention. If he is rewarded again at this time, I am afraid that some people in the court I can't sit still...

But... why did Qi Guang do this?Could it be that they want to push Ruohua to a situation where he has no choice?Although Ruohua is smart, he wouldn't go to such lengths to use it for his own use.This is not like Qi Guang's character in the past.

No matter what, if Qi Guang really has such thoughts, I am afraid that Ruohua will encounter more and more things in the court in the future.

Si Nian looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and there seemed to be a feeling of worry in his heart.He knew that Ruohua must have his own ambition, no matter what that ambition was, but at least Si Nian didn't want him to get involved in this dark quagmire.

Ruohua saw that Si Nian hadn't spoken for a long time, so he said, "Although I want to become a famous official of a generation, I don't want to rush for success."

"Why King Mao? It's okay to give more credit to Lin Lang."

"The prince who already holds the military power in his hands is now extending his hand to other places. Should the emperor be happy or be vigilant?" Ruohua said with a light smile. This is certainly one of his goals, but more importantly, Let the ministers in the court understand that this King Mao has the ability to gain a share of power from the ritual department in charge of Si Nian. Such momentum should make many people who support the prince shake their hearts. It's even more exciting.

Si Nian frowned and said nothing, what Ruohua said was reasonable, but at the same time, this action would shake the hearts of the court even more.Si Nian looked at the open-minded Ruohua, and couldn't help but wonder whether he didn't think carefully, or he did it on purpose.If he did it on purpose, what was his goal?

"Is the prince satisfied with my explanation?"

"Just know how to measure yourself." Si Nian is not in a hurry to explore Ruohua's purpose, it will take a long time, as long as it is not too outrageous, let him go for now.

"Speaking of it," Ruohua took out the badge Yuyue gave him, "King Mao invited me to the Ministry of War, what does the prince think about this?"

Ruohua knew that she couldn't hide this matter, so she might as well tell Si Nian directly, which would reduce her suspicions.

Seeing the badge in Ruohua's hand, Si Nian snorted coldly.Is Mao Wang so impatient that he even handed over his personal jade pendant to Ruohua?I'm afraid it's because I found out that Ruohua is living in my house, so I'm so eager to win him over.And to give the waist card to Ruohua in the palace so blatantly, it must be to let others know that he has started to touch the ritual department.

"Since he gave it to you, you go." Although Si Nian was dissatisfied, he also knew that Ruohua had no room to refuse this matter.

"My lord, is there anything I can do?"

"You just need to protect yourself well." Although Si Nian had been waiting for an opportunity, he didn't want to involve Ruohua in some things.And for some reason, he had a very bad premonition.

Ruohua heard that Si Nian didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask further.It seems that Si Nian has no official business to do by himself, and he is not good at staying here, so Ruohua salutes:

"If the prince has no other orders, I will go back to the mansion first."

"Wait a minute." Si Nian got up and entered the side hall.And a white porcelain plate came out from the back.

There are pastries on the disk. There are about five or six kinds of pastries, but there is only one of each kind.

"The small kitchen in the palace is more exquisite than the house." Si Nian put the plate on a table closer to Ruohua, "Just sit down for a while, I still have some official documents, we will go back to the house together after processing." .”

After Si Nian finished speaking, he returned to the front seat and continued to look at the previous document.

Ruohua was not too polite, and sat down directly, reached out and squeezed a leaf-shaped green pastry into his mouth.The fragrance of the tea leaves and the sweetness of the sauce spread in the mouth, and the skin is slightly icy, which should have been slightly frozen in the refrigerator, but it has no rough texture at all.The thin skin of glutinous rice with tea powder sticks slightly to the lips and teeth, and the fragrance of tea overflows; while the filling inside does not have the sweet and greasy feeling of flower sauce, it is sweet and delicious, and the taste is like slippery and slightly elastic after one bite. There are no pastries I have ever tasted.

Ruohua's eyes widened almost in surprise, he chewed repeatedly, and after swallowing, he reluctantly licked his lips several times.

Ruohua has only one thought in his mind: it's really delicious.People in the imperial palace of this dynasty can actually enjoy this kind of enjoyment every day. Unlike a hundred years ago, the pastries almost all have the same taste, and the appearance is mainly vegetarian cakes.Even if it is for the royal chef in the palace, this world must be taken back.

Si Nian sat on it and looked at the trivial documents, and when he looked up, he saw Ruohua eating the pastry with great interest, and licking his lips with his tongue without any scruples, and then he seemed a little dissatisfied Like puffing up his mouth slightly.

Seeing the young man's rich expression, Si Nian couldn't help but twitched his lips: Sure enough, it was right to send someone to Ah Mo, who used to take care of him in the palace, to make some exquisite pastries early in the morning.

The plate of pastries soon bottomed out, and when there were only two pieces left, Ruohua poked back and forth on the plate with his fingers.Si Nian also put down the official documents at this time, walked down, looked at Ruohua's almost wrinkled facial features and the two saved pastries, found it interesting, and asked:

"Why, these two pieces are not to your liking?"

"No..." Ruohua saw that Si Nian had finished handling his official duties, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, do you have a handkerchief?"

"A handkerchief?" Si Nian froze for a moment, took out a piece from his sleeve, "What's the use for you?"

Ruohua took the veil, unfolded it in the palm of his hand, then picked up the pastry with the other hand, carefully wrapped the two pieces of pastry in the veil, and said to Si Nian after putting it away:

"I want to take it home to eat."

Seeing Ruohua's series of actions, Si Nian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't hold back, and smiled softly, stroking the corner of his mouth: Why is this person so interesting.

Ruohua smiled when he saw Si Nian's bitter and bitter face that had never changed for thousands of years, and couldn't help being stunned.In fact, it seems... This person still looks good when he smiles.Ruohua took a moment to realize what she had just thought, she was a little embarrassed, and turned her head slightly awkwardly.

Seeing Ruohua turning his head, Si Nian thought that his smile had annoyed him, so he touched the corner of his mouth, then put his hand on Ruohua's head and patted it twice, and said softly:

"Let's go back home."

"Hmm..." Ruohua, who was patted on the head, stiffened her neck and responded in a low voice.

Si Nian turned his head slightly to look at the people behind him, and suddenly felt that the huge palace and those memories that he didn't want to mention seemed to have softened on the way from the Ministry of Rites to the gate of the palace.

The author has something to say: Although Mint seems to have said something about daily updates a few days ago...

However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mint will go out to surf...

and so……

I try to save as many manuscripts as possible in these two days QWQ

☆, Ministry of War

After the sun set, Ruohua stroked the jade waist badge in his sleeve and walked towards the Ministry of War.

Ruohua also led troops on the battlefield in his previous life. At that time, the Xia Yuan border was always in turmoil. One year, the five countries jointly raised troops to invade Xia Yuan.Although several prestigious generals were sent to lead troops to fight, they all retreated steadily, and the people in the court were panicked.

At that time, Ruohua was only 16 years old.Regardless of everyone's opposition, he insisted on leading the elite troops in the palace to go all the way to Maxi. When they confronted the enemy, in order to win by surprise, he chose to walk a section of uninhabited mountain road. Only one person and one horse can pass through, and there is a cliff on the side.

But that day, it suddenly rained heavily. The terrain was already rugged and the rocks were soft. The heavy rain blocked the front and back roads for a few days.They couldn't advance or retreat on the middle of the mountain.The heavy rain lasted for five days, and their food was soaked in water, and if they continued to consume it, they could only live and die on this barren mountain.At that time, Ruohua was also in despair. Although no one in the army dared to say it, they could guess the fear and dissatisfaction in the hearts of these soldiers he brought.

On the fifth day, people had already died one after another. On the remote cliff where there was no way forward and no way back, not even a rabbit could be seen, it seemed that only the endless abyss remained.They threw the corpses of the dead soldiers directly off the cliff without wrapping them. Ruohua stood there watching, those numb and desperate faces disappeared in such a heavy rain in such a heavy rain before the blood was shed on the battlefield. killed.The sky is boundless, the mountains are endless, and the smoke is everywhere to summon the soul. Ruohua even has the urge for a moment, thinking that he will just jump down and it will be over.

But Ruohua stood on the edge of the cliff, looked into the distance, and saw layers upon layers of mountain peaks spreading to the horizon on this land. At that moment, Ruohua seemed to see all the mountains, plains, lakes, seas and cities. This was his dream. Xia Yuan is his world.

Ruohua cut his own finger, used the blood as a book, and wrote the word Xia Yuan on the military flag, and then, regardless of the danger, rushed into the rainstorm alone to remove the stones blocking the way.The fellow soldiers were also touched by it and joined in one after another.Fortunately, the sun began to clear on the sixth day, and the sand and stones blocking the road were almost cleared.Ruohua turned over and got on the horse, hung up the blood-written flag, and galloped on the mountain road beside the cliff.The morale of a group of soldiers behind them was also high, shouting: "Defend Xia Yuan!" They all followed.

Originally, their men and horses were all exhausted, but it was because of their surprise attack tactics and their ever-increasing morale.That battle was finally won.

And when Ruohua returned to the capital of Xia Yuan with victory, he rode on the main street, and his city was firmly under his feet.He knew that in this world, he would definitely keep it.

And since then, no one has questioned that he is too young to take on big responsibilities.

Military department... Ruohua walked to the front of the military department, looked at the two characters hanging high, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

"My lord, this way please." Ruohua just walked into the door of the military department when he saw Yuyue walking towards him.

"My lord." Ruohua bowed and saluted.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite," Yu Yue lightly supported Ruohua's arm, "It just so happens that some fine tea leaves have entered the palace today, so your lord came at the right time."

I'm afraid I prepared it because I expected that I would definitely come, and I deliberately came to the door to meet me, Ruohua looked at Yuyue's smiling face, and secretly complained in her heart that this King Mao is really impatient.

But Ruohua still seemed a little flattered on the surface, and hurriedly saluted again:

"Your Highness is polite."

"Come with me, my lord."

Ruohua followed Yuyue to the main hall of the Ministry of War. Although there are six departments, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry really can't compare with the Ministry of War.Although the Ministry of War does not have luxurious decorations, it can be seen from every detail that the daily expenses here are much higher.At least in terms of its size, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites combined would not occupy as much space as a Ministry of War.

Ruohua sighed in his heart: It's really discriminatory...

Yuyue brought Ruohua to the main hall, and two cups of tea were already placed on the low table on one side.

"My lord, sit down." Yuyue didn't sit upright, and sat directly on the low couch.

Ruohua didn't shirk, and sat on the cattail mat that was slightly lower than Autao opposite Yuyue.

"I heard that my lord has been recuperating for the past few days, are you feeling better now?" Yuyue picked up the teacup, and gently tapped the lid on the cup with one hand.

"It took a long time to recuperate, but now there is no serious problem." Ruohua nodded slightly.

"The doctor in my family is familiar with the way of health care and conditioning. If necessary, I will send him to show you."

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern," Ruohua said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "I'm afraid of my lord's jokes when I say it. I'm most afraid of eating those medicinal diets. I used to be stuffed in the room to recuperate because of my poor health, but I don't think so. What's the use. Now that I'm outside every day, I feel much better."

Yuyue took a sip of her tea and smiled lightly: "That's right, I'm as old as an adult
