wait for another year

After the decree was announced, King Wei became a prince, and King Su also became a prince, and the two could be regarded as equals.

However, King Wei is the adopted son of the Central Palace, and he has just received the Anxi Protectorate, so he is very different from a prince like Xuanyuan Hui who is sealed in the wilderness.

Therefore, King Wei stayed in the chariot carved with gold and silver, and King Su rode his horse to accompany him, pointing him to the people of Suzhou along the way.

Before Xuanyuan Hui had time to communicate with Zhao Xu and Shen Mi in the future, he felt a little apprehensive, but when he entered the city gate and saw the gloomy scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

Xuanyuan Hao lifted the curtain of the car, seemingly unintentionally wandering around.

The city of Suzhou is not big, and you can almost see it all at a glance—there are a few scattered shops in the market, seven or eight beggars lying in the sun at the foot of the dilapidated city wall, and a few beggars under a half-dead withered poplar tree. The lazy man is playing the horse hanging... "The imperial court strictly prohibits private gambling, doesn't the emperor know?"

Xuanyuan Hui smiled wryly, "This is wronged, Brother Huang might as well look carefully."

Xuanyuan Hao took a closer look, and saw that those lazy men did not use silver taels, but large and small stones.

"Suzhou is barren, they want to gamble, but where the money comes from, they can only deceive themselves and others." Xuanyuan Hui said disappointedly.

Xuanyuan Hao let out a "huh", noncommittal.

The ceremonial guards stopped outside King Su's mansion, and the chief steward brought by Xuanyuan Zhu came back with some embarrassment, "My lord, I'm afraid this manor of King Su can't accommodate such people. Princess Su prepared a military tent for them earlier, my lord, you Let's see if we let them settle down for a few nights?"

Xuanyuan Hui said from the side, "When we built the building before, we wanted to follow the rules of the heir king, but when we came here, we realized that Suzhou is arid and water-scarce, and the wood is even more scarce. In the end, we had to keep it simple. Fortunately, the princess is virtuous and doesn't care about these extraneous things. Otherwise, I would change it." Ordinary family members have already started to make troubles. They are not as good as a princess. They are willing to follow me to this barren land to endure hardships and hardships. No, after only a few years here, they have already put up a dowry. Unfortunately, it is still a drop in the bucket... ..."

Before coming here, Xuanyuan Zhuo had heard Deng Fuyu and others in Liangzhou mention that Xuanyuan Hui, regardless of the depth of the person, has a problem that is simply frantic, that is, when talking about his princess, he chatters like a lama.

He thought it was an exaggeration, but only after seeing her today...

Deng Fuyu and the others really saved face for King Su.

"Look, brother, this is the peony planted by the princess. Don't look at the dead branches and rotten leaves now. It bloomed very well in May last year. The princess said that in Luojing, the flowers may have withered, but in Suzhou, Luoyang It's red but it's blooming brilliantly, it's the Flower God all the way to the north..."

"Brother Huang, be careful with your feet. This blue flagstone was brought by the princess from Yingchuan. Although you are far away from home, it is a comfort to step on the land of your hometown..."

When he reached the Qinggai Hall, Xuanyuan Hui looked up, and saw that the plaque had become "Taoyaotang", so he said nonsense, "My son Yugui is suitable for his family, isn't he talking about the princess?"

Xuanyuan Hao listened patiently while paying attention to his expression, trying to pick out some flaws.

"The name Lilou was given by my father, but I don't like it very much." Seeing Xuanyuan Hao looking at the shabby small building with displeasure on his face, Xuanyuan Hui said anxiously, "Although this small building is a bit simple, , but the concubine also tried her best. Look, brother, what you ordered is still your favorite ambergris, and this incense is only a few taels in the entire palace."

Xuanyuan Hao finally couldn't bear it anymore, "I'm afraid the fourth brother will be exhausted after traveling all the way, why don't we take a break first?"

"Today is a bit hasty. Tomorrow the younger brother will hold a banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for the emperor." Xuanyuan Hui said with a smile.

The two parted ways, Xuanyuan Hui went back to the room directly, and saw Zhao Xu's complexion was snow-white, lying on his back on the couch with medicine on his knees.

Xuanyuan Hui frowned, and walked over to see his injury, but Zhao Xu grabbed his wrist, "Just take the medicine, don't move around."

"Too much deceit." Xuanyuan Hui said coldly.

Zhao Xu was exhausted, "Congratulations, my lord."

What he was referring to was the matter of Huihe, mentioning this incident, Xuanyuan Hui was annoyed again.

Originally, when he returned from Yaluke, his heart was full of joy, he just wanted to have fun with Zhao Xu earlier, but he didn't expect that before he crossed the Tianshan Mountain, he received a letter and ran to the death of two horses before he met Zhao Xu ten miles outside the city. The hidden guard changed back.

As a result, as soon as he entered the city, he saw Xuanyuan Hao domineering at the gate of Suzhou city, and even humiliated Zhao Xu like this.

Seeing his terrifying expression, Zhao Xu stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck, and looked at him fixedly, "I have to bow my head under the eaves. He is now the governor of Anxi, and he has 30 soldiers in his hands. What's more, the original Deng I am very suspicious of you, even if you are good in everything, you may find someone to be you, if you let him see something, it is not impossible to cut down the feudal clan."

Although Zhao Xu's complexion was bleak, his expression was peaceful and peaceful. Xuanyuan Hui looked at him, and his heart was suddenly filled with soreness.

Sighing lightly, Zhao Xu simply pulled Xuanyuan Hui to lie down beside him, and patted him on the shoulder, "I have suffered so much in the past three years, my lord, don't lose your temper at this time."

The two have been separated for more than ten days, since they got married, this is the first time they have been separated for such a long time.Now that they met again for the first time, Xuanyuan Hui felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and it wasn't until the two got closer that they finally settled down.

Zhao Xu was born in a noble family, and he is very particular about food and clothing. Even when he arrived in Suzhou, he smoked incense every day. He thought that he wanted to show a frugal appearance in front of Xuanyuan Zhu, so he even stopped the incense and leaned against him. In order to smell a faint lingering fragrance.

"He should have spies in Suzhou. Will he believe your arrangements today?"

Zhao Xu smiled, "It's obviously impossible to make a whole state watertight. It's only believable if it's half-truths and half-false."

"It's better for the spies to catch them." Seeing that the ointment on Zhao Xu's lap had dried up, Xuanyuan Hui pulled a thin quilt over them, "As for whether to kill them or use them for me..."

Zhao Xu took his own pulse and knew that it was summer heat entering his body, so he said, "I'm afraid I have a stroke, why don't you ask the prince to stay away for now, so as not to get sick."

What he said was rustic and polite, but Xuanyuan Hui felt annoyed for a while, and blurted out, "You and I are of the same body, if you are sick, how can I get well?"

The words were a bit ambiguous, not only Zhao Xu was taken aback, but Xuanyuan Hui was also a little embarrassed, not knowing how to respond, so he leaned over angrily and hugged him.

"With the protection of my father's dragon energy, this king wants to see if ordinary disease energy can enter the body."

Although the two of them have often been slept together in recent years, they are both young and strong men, and they will not cuddle without incident. Now they are head to head, cheek to cheek...

Zhao Xu's heart trembled, Lingtai seemed to feel something.

Xuanyuan Hui simply blushed with a jade face.
