Great Chu.
Qingcheng.
It was early summer, the sun was shining brightly, when I opened the window, wisps of fragrant smoke wafted out, and I saw Chu Dichi, with his sleeves rolled up, cooking skillfully.
When the subordinates passing by saw this, they all whispered:
"Your Highness has been in a very good mood these days."
"Yesterday Wang Heng made a mistake and misreported the military secrets, but he wasn't even angry..."
“That’s not to say…”
Over the past two days, the Regent's temperament has changed.
When the master is in a good mood, the group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals below will benefit and their lives will be better.
When the master is in a bad mood, it's like a fight between gods and fish in the pond suffering.
"It smells so good!"
Qin Muxue leaned on the door frame, poked her head into the kitchen and sniffed, her eyes narrowed.
Chu Di didn't even turn his head back, "Go tell Xiao Jiu to prepare dinner."
"oh."
In the past, Qin Muxue would not dare to provoke him casually, but ever since Ali came back, the Regent was like a god ripped down from the sky, exposed to the worldly affairs of life and became approachable.
In the elegant garden.
"Ari-nii-nii!"
Qin Muxue had such a lively personality that her voice could be heard through the two walls before she even arrived.
Chu Li was sitting in the courtyard, closing the book slowly, and then Qin Muxue ran in.
"It's time to eat!"
She nodded, her expression calm and indifferent.
The same is true at the dinner table.
Chu Dichi picked up some food and served soup to Chu Li.
Qin Muxue held the bowl and sighed sincerely: "Your Highness's cooking skills are really good. I am also benefiting from Brother Ali's help!"
Sitting next to him, Lu Yunchu said:
"I'll learn it someday."
"That won't do. Senior Brother Lu's hands are smooth and unharmed. If they get stained with oil smoke and become rough, I will feel bad."
"As long as you like it, I'm willing to learn."
"Then let's learn together, so that we can cook for our kids in the future."
Chu Dichi choked.
He coughed two or three times and looked at Qin Muxue sticking to Lu Yunchu. They had to sit next to each other even when they were eating. It would be fine if they were just being so close to each other, but they were already talking about the baby even before they got engaged.
Look at Chu Li again.
she……
He lowered his eyes, absent-minded.
Since she came back yesterday, she has been looking so gloomy until now, with unremitting sadness hidden in her eyes, but she refuses to speak to him.
"Xiaojiu."
"What?" She looked up while biting her chopsticks.
Chu Dichi gently covered the back of her hand, "I'm here."
No matter when, he will hold up a sky for her.
She is not alone.
Chu Li's body trembled slightly, and he slowly lowered his eyes, "Hmm."
"Brother Ali, please eat more vegetables!" Qin Muxue gave her a lot of food.
But Chu Li couldn't be happy.
The death of Concubine Wen, regaining childhood memories, and facing Chu Dichi again... my heart feels heavy as if a stone is pressing on it, heavy.
He forced a smile and said:
"When are you and my second brother going to get married?"
Qin Muxue blushed and looked at Lu Yunchu shyly. Lu Yunchu said seriously:
"If I can return to the capital smoothly this time, I will come to propose marriage, but my family is far away from Da Chu, and my family background is a bit complicated. I am afraid that General Qin and Madam Qin will not agree."
"It's okay. I have grown legs now and can run by myself."
“Ahem!”
Lu Yunchu would complete all the necessary etiquette, including three letters of engagement and six betrothal gifts, and a formal marriage.
Since we have decided to hold hands for life, I will not let her suffer any grievances.
"You don't have to run. As long as you don't change your mind, I will marry you as promised."
"Brother Lu, you have such a good character. I have no way to repay you, so I can only give birth to ten sons for you, so that you can have more children and more descendants."
Lu Yunchu coughed and waved his hands repeatedly:
“No, no.”
"Of course I should!"
Really not necessary!
Chu Li saw that the two of them had a very good relationship. During the meal, they were playing and bickering with each other, as if they were immersed in a honey pot.
The feelings between them are pure and sincere.
And she and Chu Dichi...
Since childhood, it has been like a wrong fate, and every grudge has come at the cost of life.
She envied Qin Muxue very much.
After dinner.
Chu Dichi needed to go discuss military affairs, but he was worried about Chu Li being alone, so he asked Qin Muxue to accompany her well. When he left, he saw the two of them staying together, but the smile on Chu Li's face did not reach his eyes.
Light.
There is a trace of worry lingering between the brows, like a dense web of thousands of threads, which cannot be sorted out or dispersed.
He looked at her deeply before turning and heading back to the meeting hall.
Everyone is waiting:
"Your Highness."
"master."
"Sit down." Chu Di sat down late.
A deputy general stood up and said, "Twelve cities further north will lead to the imperial capital. The closer you get to the imperial capital, the more heavily guarded it is. I will send a messenger..."
"I have a question for you."
When the deputy general was speaking seriously, Chu Dichi supported his chin thoughtfully and interrupted him.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"How to comfort a woman when she is unhappy?"
Everyone: “?”
Aren't you at war?
Aren’t they discussing military affairs?
Bai Jinyi wiped the non-existent sweat from his head.
Xiao Yexing said: "She has a heart disease."
The death of Concubine Wen was such a huge blow that it was normal for her to not be able to recover in a short period of time, after all, she was her mother.
"She's been back for two days, but she's been worried all the time. She even has a hard time smiling. I really can't bear to see her like this."
Chu Dichi's whole mind was on Chu Li.
How can you concentrate on controlling the battlefield if you are not at ease?
A deputy general stood up and said, "Your Highness, since the mistress is in a bad mood, you might as well take her out for a ride. When riding a horse to catch the wind, you can open your heart and relieve your worries. Whenever I feel gloomy, I like to ride a horse."
Another deputy envoy said:
"My method is more direct and crude, that is drinking."
"When I'm drunk, I can forget all my worries and talk loudly. I can say everything that's on my mind and feel happy. The worst thing is to keep it in your heart and make yourself sick."
Others also offered strategies.
Various.
Chu Dichi listened to them one by one, and looked at them with a frown, as he found that there was nothing he wanted to do.
moment.
The surprised figure standing aside said:
"Master, the mistress misses Concubine Wen, and the knot in her heart may be difficult to relieve. There is nothing in the world that can buy family affection. Emotional injuries can only be healed by emotions."
Chu Di raised his eyes slowly, "I will accompany her well."
Jingying shook his head.
That's not what he meant.
What he meant was:
"If the mistress can have a child, wouldn't it be just enough to make up for the vacancy left by Concubine Wen and help her get out of her depression?"
Chu Dichi's expression was shocked.
child!
She once said that she wanted a child!
"Any mother loves her children. Concubine Wen loves the mistress, and the mistress also loves her own offspring."
Chu Dichi's eyes lit up, "That makes sense."
"reward!"
Jingying was delighted and thanked him.
Beside him, Bai Jinyi lightly poured a basin of cold water:
"No, have you forgotten that you are infertile?"
