wait for another year

King and 18 years.

In Suzhou, the palace was overturned.

Xuanyuan Huiduan sits on the top, with civil servants and aides at the bottom left and military generals and internal guards at the bottom right.

"My lord, this winter is colder than usual, should we prepare food and winter clothes in advance to prevent merchants from hoarding and raising prices?"

Xuanyuan Hui nodded, "It's about people's livelihood, let's deal with it according to the history."

Shen Mi nodded in agreement, and said again: "Your Majesty, during the recent inspections by government officials, several old people have frozen to death at home, do you think it is possible to build a nursing home to take them in temporarily, and then release them back home when spring comes?"

"Since it's a good deed, it's for sure," Xuanyuan Hui took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile, "People say that 'saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda'. In my opinion, Mr. Shen, let alone a seven-level pagoda." , Level [-] has been built."

Shen Mi jokingly said: "It is said that Zhao Lang in Yingchuan is eloquent, but our lord is not bad at all. What do you call this? Flying wings, singing in harmony?"

Everyone laughed again, at this moment, Shouning announced outside the door, "The princess is here!"

The door was pushed open, bringing in the bitter cold wind.

Zhao Xu came in wearing a vermilion cloak, her temples and brows were covered with snow.

"Princess." Everyone stood up and saluted.

Xuanyuan Hui took the stove next to him and gave it to him, "It's like this, did you flop around in the snow?"

Zhao Xu sat next to him, "I heard someone arranging me from a distance of several feet, so I stood outside the door sadly for a long while..."

"Slender and beautiful woman, independent Yao step." Xuanyuan Hui chanted shaking his head.

Zhao Xu gave him a white look, "It's time for dinner, the house has prepared food and wine, please use it. Bai Su, take a few adults down for dinner." Then turned to Shen Mi and said, "Today This small kitchen will be able to cook the flax rice that Mr. Shen loves to eat, why not keep it and use it with the prince.”

Shen Mi did not refuse, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

After all the others had retreated, Zhao Xu showed some fatigue, leaned on the Arhat's couch and said, "Just now I got the news from the Bairi Society that at today's court meeting, the Zhongshuling issued an imperial edict announcing Deng Xiang is the general of Hussars, and he will no longer be under the protection of Anxi!"

Xuanyuan Hui and Shen Mi were startled at the same time, speechless for a long time.

"Then do you know who will take over as Anxi's Protector?" Shen Mi asked eagerly.

The folk customs in the northwest are tough, and the northern army has always been extremely powerful, even against the brave Hu people.Therefore, the Deng family has been drilling camps in the northwest for a long time, and Deng Xiang's private army is mainly composed of young and strong men from Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Guazhou, Suzhou and other places.

Even if Deng Xiang left the northwest, he would never sit back and watch King Su sit in the northwest, and would definitely send his cronies to guard him.

Zhao Xu still had the time to show off, "Why don't you two guess?"

Shen Mi scrutinized his expression and frowned, "The Deng family's power can be said to be like a fire cooking oil and flowers blooming. Judging from the behavior of Deng Xiang and others, it is obvious that they are disobedient. In my humble opinion, they Fan will definitely send a descendant of Deng's family or relatives to sit in the northwest."

"Xuanyuan Zhu." Xuanyuan Hui said coldly.

Although the emperor's eldest son, Xuanyuan Hao, took up a long word, his biological mother was just a maid serving tea and water to Yu Qianqian, and she went away without knowing why after giving birth to him.Xuanyuan Hao has always been raised by Empress Deng's side, and although he has not received the jade certificate, he has always regarded himself as the legitimate son of Empress Yuan.Empress Deng has three princes under her knees. The third prince was highly regarded because she was born by Empress Deng's cousin. This is the eldest son of the emperor.In the 11th year of Jinghe, he married Deng Ao's own daughter, and after he and He Lianqin became a brother-in-law, although he could not inherit the great line, he was also named a prince and was highly valued by the Deng family. If he really came, then But it was very troublesome.

"My lord is wise!" Zhao Xu complimented half-truthfully.

Shen Mi stroked his beard, "It's the Xuanyuan clan after all."

Xuanyuan Hui snorted coldly, "Master Shen is far away from the palace. I only know that my eldest brother is from the Xuanyuan royal family, but he doesn't know how powerful it is. My good brother, rather than saying that his surname is Xuanyuan, may have been surnamed Deng long ago, so This news is both worrying and not joyful."

At their wit's end, Zhao Xu and Shen Mi were speechless.

Shou Ning reported outside the door, "The adults in the teahouse have already finished their meal, they asked the servants to come over and ask, will the prince still discuss things later?"

Xuanyuan Hui looked out the window, and saw that although the snow was light, the dark clouds were rolling in, rushing towards this side from the Tianshan Mountains.

"Let them go back. If there is a blizzard tomorrow, there is no need to come. If there is an important matter, send a servant to deliver the booklet."

Zhao Xu said to Shen Mi: "Master Shen, please take care of the winter. Bai Su, bring the 30-year-old ginseng to Master Shen."

Shen Mi declined, "All these years, the whole family has been taken care of by the princess, and they have received a lot of things from the princess. If they accept it again, wouldn't it be greedy?"

Zhao Xu said with a smile: "I heard that Madam suffered from the wind and cold a few days ago, and faced with this cold winter, I am afraid she is still a bit weak and needs to replenish her body. This is my filial piety to Madam Sister-in-law, so please don't refuse gone."

Shen Mi had no choice but to accept it, bowed again and left.

"My lord," Zhao Xu said slowly after he walked away, "There has been a small success in the trifoliate thorn, please have time to go over and comment on it."

Xuanyuan Hui nodded, "The fox fur that was hunted earlier, let's go to the capital as a tribute, one each for father, concubine Dugu, mother and second brother."

Zhao Xu wrote it down and served him another bowl of yokan.

Xuanyuan Hui warmed the wine and filled it up for both of them.

Drinking and eating food full of thoughts, about a cup of tea time, the snow fell again and again, just like rubbing cotton.

"Snowflakes in Yanshan Mountain are as big as a mat, blowing down Xuanyuan Terrace one after another." Zhao Xu murmured leisurely, "It fits the occasion."

Xuanyuan Hui glanced at him, "I'm not afraid of breaking a taboo."

He has grown in stature over the years, and he doesn't know if it's due to half of the Hu people's blood, or because of the blessing of the daily milk, he is actually a little taller than Zhao Xu, with a wasp waist, narrow buttocks, and a gorgeous color, no one can see Already, all have to praise the handsome young man.

Zhao Xu looked at Xue and squinted her eyes, "However, there was an important matter that I forgot to report to the lord just now."

"Ah."

"Young Master Bo Lingjia, whom the lord has been thinking of, has been selected as the No. [-] scholar in this division."

Xuanyuan frowned darkly, "Boling? Cui family? Thinking about it? Why don't I remember?"

"Cui Jinghu, Cui Zining is also true, the prince is so ruthless, it has only been three years and he has forgotten?" Zhao Xu joked.

It was only then that Xuanyuan Hui remembered the old incident, brought his own wine cup to his mouth, "Why should the princess care so much about the disappearance? This cup respects you, and I have the right to make amends."

Zhao Xu took his hand and drank it, "It's a pity that I messed up a good relationship. Otherwise, he and the prince will be in harmony, and I will just get a son-in-law."

"Consort?" Xuanyuan Hui paused, "Have they finally attacked the Hedong gentry?"

Zhao Xu said slowly: "Empress Dowager Yizhi, Cui Jinghu Shangzhong Palace's daughter-in-law Princess Xiaohui, will get married on the second day of next month."
