The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

In the room, the two played backgammon back and forth for nearly an hour, and Tao Anran was a little tired.He looked at the money won in front of Xiao Jingyu, and compared it with the one in front of himself, he couldn't help but sighed and said: "The prince is quick-witted, I am willing to bow down."

Xiao Jingyu threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, and said with a smile, "Princess, are you admitting defeat?"

Tao Anran looked at his unsatisfied expression, and replied: "My lord, don't make fun of me anymore, your skills are superb, I feel ashamed."

Seeing his sour face, Xiao Jingyu felt a little funny, but held back, otherwise the princess would say that she was making fun of him again.He sorted out the loose money in front of him, and seeing the princess staring at her without blinking, he sorted out the money and pushed it in front of the princess.

Tao Anran looked at the money in front of her, feeling a little confused.He asked in a low voice, "My lord, what is this?"

Xiao Jingyu saw his question, and said softly: "The money will be returned to the princess. It's just for a little entertainment, how can I win the money from the princess?"

Tao Anran is not someone who can't afford to lose, although he was a bit reluctant, but he still said: "It was agreed before, since the money won by the prince, it will naturally belong to the prince."

Xiao Jingyu only asked, "Really don't want it?"

Seeing that he really didn't care, Tao Anran happily piled the money to her side, and slowly sorted it out together with her own money.

Seeing him happily lowering his head to sort out the change, Xiao Jingyu shouted out of nowhere, "Of course."

The person in front of him raised his head in response, and replied, "Huh?"

Both of them froze for a moment.

Tao Anran asked with some uncertainty: "My lord, are you... just calling me?"

Xiao Jingyu stared at him, and said after a long while: "Although you are my princess, it's inevitable that you always call me that. You don't have a weak crown, and you don't have a name. It's just that there is the word An Ran in your name, so I usually call you But is it good?"

Tao Anran was stunned, but it was his nickname, he was called that when he was a child.But he hadn't heard anyone call him that in a long time.This was suddenly called by Xiao Jingyu, and he was a little at a loss.

Seeing that Tao Anran didn't agree immediately, Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is this not good? You called me by my name before. You can also call me by my name in the future, Yu Xun."

Tao Anran repeated stupidly: "You Xun?"

Xiao Jingyu explained: "Xun and Yu both mean beautiful jade, and you mean tolerance and open-mindedness. This is the word my father chose for me when I was an adult, hoping that I can become a tolerant and open-minded person like beautiful jade." ."

Tao Anran praised: "Good name. You Xun, Xiao You Xun."

Xiao Jingyu nodded in response, and then politely shouted, "Of course."

Tao Anran gave a soft "hmm".He smiled and looked at Xiao Jingyu, his eyes seemed to be soaked in water, reflecting a little bit of light under the candlelight.

For a while, the two of them didn't speak any more, and the atmosphere gradually became more charming.

Suddenly, Bai Lu asked softly outside the door: "My lord, my concubine, do you need some hot water for refreshments?"

The atmosphere was interrupted for a moment, and Tao Anran quickly turned her head away.He cleared his throat and pretended to be calm, and said, "Let's have some hot water for tea!" Who knows that his red face has already exposed his heart.

Bai Lu and Han Lu outside the door quickly lowered their heads and came in, and quickly added a pot of hot tea and two dishes of refreshments to the table.Then retreated quickly.

Tao Anran lowered his head and poured a cup of hot tea for Xiao Jingyu, and then asked, "My lord came all the way back, are you hungry? Would you like some more refreshments?" Although Tao Anran was allowed to call her by his name, Tao Anran was used to addressing her like this.

Xiao Jingyu looked at the princess who was not looking at him, and said with a light smile, "Of course, what did you say? I didn't hear it?"

Tao Anran raised her head and was about to ask again, when she saw his teasing face, she didn't understand that this person was teasing herself.Tao Anran's ears turned red with embarrassment, she quickly turned her head and ignored him.It happened that the money won before had not been sorted out, so Tao Anran continued to sort it out.

After tidying up the money, Tao Anran turned her back to Xiao Jingyu and took out a wooden box to put it in.This wooden box is what he usually uses to store small coins.At this time, there are two purses in it.That was specially kept by him as lucky money.He also followed the tradition, no one gave him lucky money, so he prepared it for himself.

Tao Anran thought for a while, but still took out the purse and put it in her bosom.After putting it back into the wooden box, Tao Anran sat back at the table.He looked at Xiao Jingyu who was drinking tea, and asked, "My lord, the New Year is coming soon, do you have any New Year's wishes?"

Xiao Jingyu glanced at him and said, "Of course, wishing these things is usually a beautiful sustenance. I never believe it. Because if I ask for ordinary things, I can have them without making a wish. If I ask for some illusory things, It's useless to ask for it."

Seeing Wang Hao's disappointed face, Xiao Jingyu continued: "But you can make a wish, if I can do it, I will make it for you."

Tao Anran suddenly wanted to laugh, so he did smile, and said, "Can I make two wishes?"

Xiao Jingyu replied calmly: "It's all right, just as many as you like, as you like."

So Tao Anran faced Xiao Jingyu, clasped his fingers in front of him, and closed his eyes.He seemed to be making a wish to the gods in a church, and it was also like making a wish on a birthday cake before.The difference is that the wish at that time may not be realized, but someone promises that he will realize the wish today.

Xiao Jingyu looked at the princess who was facing him piously, and he saw those beautiful eyes closed, only the eyelashes trembled slightly, which symbolized the restlessness of the master.Candlelight shines like a devout believer worshiping Buddha.His expression also became serious.

Xiao Jingyu looked at his princess, opened his lips and said slowly, "My first wish is to hope that the prince and I will be safe and healthy in the new year. My second wish , I hope I can make more money in the new year."

After speaking, Tao Anran opened her eyes to look at Xiao Jingyu, and asked with a smile, "Does the lord think my wish can come true?"

Xiao Jingyu said seriously: "It will definitely come true. You will be safe and healthy, and you will be able to earn a lot of wealth."

Tao Anran replied: "The prince has forgotten himself, and the prince will be safe and healthy."

Xiao Jingyu didn't catch this sentence, but said: "Of course, I'm really a money fanatic. If you make such a New Year's wish, it seems that you will make a lot of money next year!"

Tao Anran replied: "My lord, have you ever heard a saying that money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible?"

Xiao Jingyu raised his eyebrows and said in thought: "Of course, what you said makes sense. It's a pity that this king doesn't have a lot of money, just some fields."

Tao Anran took out the purse from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Jingyu, saying: "It doesn't matter if the prince doesn't have money, I will make money. This is the lucky money for the prince. I hope it can suppress the evil spirits and keep the prince safe."

Xiao Jingyu was obviously stunned, he didn't expect to receive the lucky money.Usually the New Year's money is given by the elders to the younger generation, and he only received the New Year's money when he was a child.But I didn't expect to receive lucky money today.For a moment, he didn't know what the princess meant.

Seeing Xiao Jingyu in a daze, Tao Anran quickly asked, "Why doesn't your lord accept it? Don't you like lucky money? I prepared one for myself too."

Xiao Jingyu regained his senses and picked up the purse, and said, "There is nothing I don't like. You have prepared lucky money for yourself anyway."

Tao Anran also took out her lucky money, which was a purse of the same color.He said: "My lord, this is a tradition. You have to bring the lucky money to the first day of the new year at [-] o'clock to keep you safe. I prepared two. I didn't expect that when the lord came back, I could just give him one."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the concubine who was full of joy, and suddenly felt distressed.Whether his princess has always prepared lucky money for herself has been ignored.But that's it, this year also prepared lucky money for him.

Xiao Jingyu stuffed the purse tightly into his bosom, then took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the princess, and said: "Since I have received Ranran's lucky money, this is my return gift."

Tao Anran took the jade pendant, the jade pendant was exquisite and smooth, it looked like a good seed.One side is engraved with a picture of fish playing with lotus leaves, and the other side is engraved with the word "you".Reminiscent of what the prince said before, this jade pendant is probably a personal thing.

Tao Anran looked at the jade pendant carefully, and hesitated: "My lord, do you really have to give it to me? This should be the lord's personal belongings, it's very important."

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said: "Although this jade pendant is important, Ranran's intentions are even more important. After thinking about it, I only have this jade pendant on my body that I can give to Ranran."

Although Tao Anran was a bit reluctant, she still pushed the jade pendant back in front of him, and said: "You don't have to do that. I just prepared an extra purse. There is not much money in it, so there is no need to return the gift."

Xiao Jingyu didn't accept it. The more sensible the princess was, the more he felt that the princess had suffered a lot.He looked back and said: "Of course, don't refuse. This is also my intention. And not only this jade pendant, but also the central donation in the Houfu will be in charge of you."

Tao Anran was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

Xiao Jingyu continued: "Of course, as a concubine, you should be in charge of Zhongfu. It's just that when you first arrived in Yunzhou, I pity you for your new arrival, so I didn't let you worry about these things. Now that you have stayed for a few months, you are familiar with it. Here it is, it's time to take charge."

Xiao Jingyu's every word seemed to be for the sake of the princess, and he didn't mention at all that he just wanted to marry back as a decoration, and he didn't mean to entrust Zhongfei at all.Now that the words changed, it became his sympathy.

Tao Anran didn't know this, he didn't think about managing the palace at all, he just thought that his current life was already very satisfying.When he thought of the fact that there were so many people in the palace, there must be a lot of big and small things, and he felt overwhelmed.

So he said weakly: "My lord, can I not be in charge of Zhongfu? I don't know these things."

Xiao Jingyu looked at him fixedly and replied: "Of course, you can learn it. And Li Butler will help you. As a princess, you must learn these things. And you can keep accounts, these are not difficult."

Tao Anran spoke again, "My lord, can I refuse?"

Xiao Jingyu glanced at him and said affirmatively, "No!"
