Rebirth: The imperial concubine is no longer jealous, and the emperor panics

"Okay! Hitting is kissing, scolding is loving, right?" Shen Yao gritted her teeth, her eyes almost bursting with fire, "Then I'll make it happen for you."

So, after a burst of "crackling" slaps, Lu Lingchuan touched his slightly red and swollen face.

"Are you really willing to take action?"

He complained and hugged Shen Yao in his arms, but his eyebrows were bent into a slit with a smile. Yao'er still had no strength to attack him at this time.

Since he didn't use all his strength, I still feel sorry for him.

Lu Lingchuan hugged Shen Yao and coaxed in a low voice, "Yao'er, are you tired from the beating? I'll take you to have a meal."

Shen Yao wanted to push him away, but the rope was so tight that she couldn't move at all, so she lowered her face and pouted, not looking at him.

"I heard that your mother is from Emei, Shu Mountain, and now the Lion House has invited a famous chef from Bashu. I will take you to try something new."

When Lu Lingchuan said this, Shen Yao's heart softened and she couldn't vent her anger.

"Then Yao'er, let's go."

"No matter what, only when you are full can you have the strength to continue beating me!"

Lu Lingchuan's shameless words made Shen Yao's sudden soft-heartedness disappear in an instant. She couldn't help but punch him in the chest again.

Regarding Lu Lingchuan's proposal, Shen Yao lowered her head and thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

The carriage drove through the streets of the capital city, looking out calmly through the propped up windows. The road is crowded with people, trade is prosperous, and it is a peaceful and harmonious scene.

But she thought of the war on the border and couldn't help but ask Lu Lingchuan,——

"Your Majesty, I heard that the battle report on the border has been sent back to Shangjing. It should be good news."

After listening to Shen Yao's words, Lu Lingchuan replied,

"The war has just begun. Although victory is just around the corner, we still need to wait patiently for a while, which could be three months at the earliest and more than half a year at the earliest."

Looking at the figure who was looking at the scenery, Lu Lingchuan raised the corners of his lips slightly. It had been a long time since she had taken the initiative to talk to him. At this time, even if she took the initiative to chat about unrelated people and things, Lu Lingchuan still felt very happy.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Yao'er, are you asking just now because you are concerned about the border war, or are you concerned about Xue Yue who is leading the army on the expedition?"

Shen Yao shook her head helplessly when she heard the question behind her. So what Lu Lingchuan meant was that it was okay to care about the border war, but not to care about Xue Yue?

As an emperor, why is this guy still so small-minded?

"I just care about the people on the border." Shen Yao sighed, "After a war, I don't know how many people will be displaced, and I don't know how many children will lose their fathers and mothers."

Lu Lingchuan answered her, "But if you want to live a peaceful life, you have to trade for war and bloodshed. Blind tolerance can only be exchanged for constant beatings."

"But it is not an option to continue the blood feud from generation to generation like this."

Shen Yao thought, besides endless war, is there no solution once and for all? While he was dazed, the silk handkerchief in his hand floated in the wind without being able to hold it firmly.

A child outside the carriage window caught her silk handkerchief in the wind, and then ran after the carriage while shouting, "Sister Beauty, your handkerchief."

Shen Yao hurriedly called the driver to stop.

When the boy was near, Lu Lingchuan stepped forward, opened the bamboo curtain, reached out to take his silk handkerchief, took out a silver dime from his purse and handed it to him.

Then the carriage started again. Lu Lingchuan then handed the handkerchief to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao took the handkerchief, her eyes lingering on the old purse hanging on Lu Lingchuan's waist. She whispered, "Your Majesty, some old things are no longer consistent with the status of the emperor, and they should be discarded as soon as possible."

"You can get rid of the old ones so that you can find newer and more suitable ones."

"So, in Yao'er's heart, I am just an old thing that is out of date and should be thrown away, right?"

Lu Lingchuan lowered his eyes and forced a bitter smile on his thin face.

In order to prevent Shen Yao from continuing this topic with him, he added,

"After the border war is over, I will order the army and select some sergeants to stay and cultivate fields there. It will not only increase the local population and develop local agricultural and commercial trade, but also serve the people in leisure time and the army in wartime."

"I will also encourage all the women in the world to marry the men in the army who guard the border, and they will stay there and reproduce and live forever."

Shen Yao bowed to him sincerely and praised, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Don't call me the Dog Emperor now." Lu Lingchuan sighed and joked with Shen Yao.

At this time, Lu Lingchuan was very nervous when he was alone with her, fearing that a careless word would offend her. You know, he really put in a lot of effort to get close to Yao'er.

Shen Yao blushed and thought to herself, many times, it's not like this person rushes to scold someone.

The carriage passed through the East Market and soon arrived at the Lion Tower on Zhuque Street.

Lu Lingchuan put on a large ramie blouse with wide sleeves outside his dragon robe. Then, he got off the carriage first and then helped Shen Yao down.

He flicked the folding fan and walked with his head held high, which was quite a bit like a handsome nobleman.

The waiter led the two of them to the private room facing the window from last time.

Looking out through the elegant window, the Shangjing City is majestic in the daytime, and the imperial palace with red walls and black tiles not far away is particularly solemn and solemn.

"Yao'er, this is Wenjun wine from Shu." Lu Lingchuan held a white porcelain single-eared wine flask in his hand and filled a cup for Shen Yao.

On the carved wooden table, there was a table full of rare dishes, which looked red.

"Shu is a land of mountains and rivers, which is always humid, rainy and foggy. In order to dispel cold and dampness, when cooking dishes, more spices such as chili pepper and Sichuan pepper are used."

Shen Yao couldn't help but raise her chopsticks, pick up a piece of dried meat from the red soup and put it into her mouth.

"Wow, it's so spicy!" She tasted it and then quickly took a sip of sake.

"This Wenjun wine is also very mellow."

Shen Yao praised and kept using her chopsticks. Soon, a layer of fine sweat formed on the tip of her nose and forehead.

"Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?" she asked, picking out a thin shred of pork from a pile of chili pepper peels and placing it on Lu Lingchuan's plate.

"Zhang Songhe told me that I can't eat any spicy food now, but this is the dish Yao'er brought for me, and I must taste it properly."

After Lu Lingchuan finished speaking, he raised his bamboo chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes Shen Yao gave him when his wrist was suddenly held by a few slender white fingers.

"Your Majesty, if you can't eat spicy food, don't force it. I'll ask the store to bring some light food." Shen Yao knew that he had a stubborn temper, so she simply squeezed his hand and wouldn't let go until Lu Lingchuan nodded in agreement.

"Yao'er, I have another gift for you today." Lu Lingchuan took out a scroll from his sleeves.

Shen Yao took it and took a look. It turned out to be a small portrait of Shu embroidery, embroidered with a beautiful and graceful woman, holding a girl with a double bun in her arms. The girl has big eyes and a lively and innocent expression, very similar to Shen Yao in her childhood.

"Your Majesty, why are you still so nice to me?" The corners of Shen Yao's eyes turned red. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, -

"Your Majesty, my eldest brother has not been with me since I was a child, and I don't know what it feels like to be loved by an older brother. Since we can't be husband and wife, let's be brother and sister."

Shen Yao knew Lu Lingchuan's obsession, but although she saw his sincerity, she didn't want to miss him, so she made an excuse for herself.
