I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

If you want hot pot to be delicious, you have to work hard on the soup base and bowls.

Gu Yuanbai had someone serve the simplest spices. There was no chili at this time, so he took star anise, scallions, shredded ginger, and Chinese prickly ash over an iron pan to copy them. Using vinegar as the base, it mixed with a little fragrance. Spicy taste and sour vinegar taste, and then sprinkle some green shallots, and the blue color is deep water, and this is it.

Gu Yuanbai couldn't eat anything that would stimulate his stomach, and the spiciness in the hot pot was just to enhance the flavor, and the ingredients were tomato sauce, so there was very little or no spiciness in the dipping sauce.The dipping sauce in front of Xue Yuan had a stronger taste, and it happened that there was no wind at this time, so the hot pot was placed in the courtyard, which had a special flavor when used.

After Xue Yuan took a few mouthfuls, sweat started to break out from his head. He almost wrapped up the dishes on the table, and said heartily, "Have fun!"

This dipping sauce is really well done, appetizing, and can't stop after eating.Gu Yuanbai's self-control was not bad, he put down his chopsticks when he was [-]% full.As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Xue Yuan, who was drenched in sweat, looked up at him: "Don't you want to eat?"

"I'm full." Gu Yuanbai took a sip of hot water.

Xue Yuan reached out, took away his dipping ingredients, and threw the meat on the table into the pot. He really only likes meat and not vegetarian, so Gu Yuanbai deliberately said, "Why doesn't Xue Qing eat vegetables?"

Xue Yuan sighed, so he turned his chopsticks and picked up a vegetable leaf.

He adapts well to the taste of tomato pot, and prefers meat dishes stained with tomato flavor to clear soup.After the two of them ate for a while, the smell of the boiling hot pot filled the entire yard, and the people waiting here secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva from time to time, and the greedy insects ran out after being attracted.Gu Yuanbai looked at the expressions of everyone, and turned his head to tell Tian Fusheng: "After a while, I will rest, and you can take them to have a good meal, and use the leftover ingredients from before, so you don't need to be close to them."

Tian Fusheng led the people to thank him with joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"The iron pot of the Holy Majesty is interesting." Xue Yuan took off his coat. "It's even more interesting to eat. I guess it won't be long before it will become the same as that kang bed and become a good thing sought after by all officials and clansmen."

Gu Yuanbai nodded, and ordered some thick soup in the pot, "But this soup is the only one."

"I'm also blessed by the Holy Majesty," Xue Yuan kept talking and talking, "Speaking of iron pots, your Majesty, you must never trade ironware when trading with nomads at the border."

Of course this cannot be forgotten.Daheng merchants are not allowed to sell any iron products to nomads, even kitchen knives, and only allow nomads to replace old kitchen knives with new ones.

Gu Yuanbai had already told Old General Xue about these details one by one when he was moving forward. At this moment, he calmly said, "It should be like this."

Xue Yuan glanced at him and smiled: "It seems that Chen Bai said something."

Gu Yuanbai smiled without saying a word.

After the meal, Xue Yuan accompanied Gu Yuanbai around to digest food.Suddenly seeing a trembling winter jasmine flower growing in the corner of the railing beside the lake, Xue Yuan moved his eyes and bent forward to pick it.

The corners of Gu Yuanbai's eyes inadvertently slid over the feet of Xue Yuan's robe, and the decorations on the robe followed the movement of bending over, emitting a stream of light from top to bottom.The Holy Majesty withdrew his eyes and said casually: "Xue Qing, don't let the wild flowers on the roadside be spared?"

Xue Yuan couldn't understand his joke, so he stretched out his hand and handed over the bright yellow winter jasmine, "My lord, I think this color is good. It's the only good scene in the end of winter. Does your lord like it?"

"I see that you like it very much. Since you think it's good, then Xue Qing will make a few light yellow clothes and change them." Gu Yuanbai ignored his provocative means, "Changing clothes every day, even if you go to the battlefield, this Color catches people too.”

Xue Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he threw the winter jasmine into the lake calmly, "I suddenly feel ugly again."

After returning from digestion, Gu Yuanbai went back to his room and lay down to read a book.What he was reading was a Chinese text, Xue Yuan was carving wood on the side, looked up at Gu Yuanbai from time to time, then lowered his head to get busy.Gu Yuanbai turned over a page of the book and asked casually, "Xue Jiuyao, have you read the books in your room?"

Xue Jiuyao said frankly, "I haven't read a single word."

Gu Yuanbai thought in his heart that sure enough, he was not surprised, read two more lines of words under the light, and then said slowly: "So many books are placed there but not read, it is really enough to bluff people, Chang Yuyan said it to me. I marvel at the books in your room and think you are a talented person."

Xue Yuan seemed to have heard some joke, "He thinks I'm familiar with the books?"

"Even if you don't read it well, you can understand it a little bit," Gu Yuanbai said, "I really thought you were one of the inner talents, rich in poetry."

"It's not bad," Xue Yuan blew on the sawdust, and said as a matter of course, "The books that I have spent money here are naturally my own. They are all my own, and the things inside are also my own."

The Holy Majesty was noncommittal and didn't say anything, but after a while, he said softly, "You rough man."

Xue Yuan laughed, thinking that this is rough?

After Gu Yuanbai finished reading a book, he felt sleepy already.Xue Yuan looked at his appearance, stood up and said goodbye carefully.Tian Fusheng went up to serve the Holy Majesty after he left. He had already washed off the smell of hot pot. In order not to offend the Holy Majesty, he did not eat something that would linger in his mouth. The old eunuch was very handy, and the two young eunuchs On the other hand, he was busy tidying up the bedding.

Gu Yuanbai let himself be busy, and when he raised his head from the book, he saw the expression of the chief guard who hesitated to speak.

He raised his eyebrows, "Zhang Xu, come here and talk to me."

An eunuch was standing at the head of the bed combing the hair of the Holy Majesty. Every time the specially polished round wood brushed through the scalp, it would be comfortable and the brain would also release its fatigue.After the chief guard walked to the bedside, the Holy Majesty had already closed his eyes, leaving only his black hair in the hands of the little eunuch like silk.

The chief guard was speechless again, and the Holy Majesty said lazily, "If you have something in your heart, just say it."

"Your Majesty," finally, the guard said, "Master Xue..." he choked out a sentence in vain, "Has he really never read a book?"

Gu Yuanbai smiled, "If he said he didn't read it, then he didn't read it. Otherwise, with Xue Jiuyao's personality, when I asked him, he would have taken the initiative to show off to me."

The head guard is a good guy.

He was just having a bit of intuitive doubts at first, but he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.What if it was all just a misunderstanding?If Mr. Xue is really loyal to the Holy One, wouldn't his words push Mr. Xue into a pit of fire?

Even Lord Chu, he still couldn't tell the Holy Spirit clearly because he had no evidence, how could he treat Lord Xue like this because of a little suspicion at this time?

The chief guard blamed himself, "I don't have anything else to say, my lord, I no longer have any doubts in my heart."

Gu Yuanbai said: "Then step back."

The candles in the house were extinguished one by one, and everyone retreated outside to watch the night.

Gu Yuanbai subconsciously reminded himself to be on guard against Xue Yuan's seduction, so when there was a slight movement in the room, his mind would wake up, and he would maintain a long breath to feel the actions around him.

Soon, someone approached the bed.

Gu Yuanbai concentrated and held his breath. After a while, his ears felt hot, and someone breathed in a low voice, "Your Majesty?"

It's Xue Yuan.

It was so late, and he was so sneaky, he would never do anything aboveboard.

Gu Yuanbai did not move at all, Xue Yuan called him in the ear for a while, the voice became lower and lower, and closer, and finally even his lips touched the ear, and then the ear was blown A feeling of numbness like a surge of electricity came up all over the body.

Gu Yuanbai curled up his fingers involuntarily, fearing that he would startle the snake, so he forced himself not to move.

Xue Yuan seemed to notice that Gu Yuanbai was still awake, but also didn't seem to notice, he laughed in a low voice a few times, the laughter trembled so much that his ears were filled with warmth.Gu Yuanbai thought, what is he laughing at?

Could it be that you are laughing at me?

But before the displeasure in his heart welled up, Xue Yuan gently bit his earlobe. Because his skin was delicate, he didn't dare to use force. He finally sucked it a few times, and when he let go, the earball was already congested and swollen. As if about to bleed out.

"My lord," Xue Yuan smiled calmly, and then asked teasingly, "How do you feel?"

Gu Yuanbai tried his best to keep breathing. Under the darkness, the long breath rose and fell. He was sure that Xue Yuan didn't know that he woke up.It's just an earlobe, it's only the extent of an earlobe, why did Gu Yuanbai's legs tense up?

Looking forward and sullen again, His Majesty the Emperor almost doubted himself.

But as soon as Xue Yuan asked, Gu Yuanbai couldn't help answering in his heart: It's comfortable, it's extremely comfortable.

keep going?

Xue Yuan seemed to have heard what Gu Yuanbai was saying, and he kissed Gu Yuanbai's ear again, his voice was so low that a butterfly flapped its wings, "When sitting on the swing, during dinner, the Holy One always tease me."

Gu Yuanbai sneered, and said in his heart, the bold Xue Yuan who never changed his color, when are you talking about?

He thought about it, and suddenly remembered, oh, yes.During the dinner, he sweated a little, and thought it was troublesome to have long hair, so he hooked the hair from his sideburns behind his ears, and then took out a piece of beef from the pot.

At that time, Xue Yuan seemed to be choked. Could it be because he hooked his hair and got choked?

promising.

Gu Yuanbai wanted to laugh out loud, but before the laughter came out, he endured it.Because he remembered the hot spring that Xue Yuan rushed back to Beijing, and the feeling of Xue Yuan's soft kisses on his face and neck, his body relaxed, and he felt that if he pretended not to be served and enjoyed once, it would be fine. good.

Is this prostitution?

Doesn't count.

But even if it was counted, Gu Yuan went whoring for nothing, and in the middle of the night, Xue Yuan was sneaking around and acting guilty, who would know?

Gu Yuanbai was half-distracted and guilty.

Just thinking about it, Xue Yuan leaned over and sucked a mark behind Gu Yuanbai's ear.His strength was neither heavy nor light, but it was very tense, with an itch that couldn't be scratched.And his hands—— Xue Yuan's hands were neatly placed beside the bed, except for the lips that kept kissing Gu Yuanbai's ears, he seemed to be a gentleman who had been cultivated to the bone, even when he came They didn't touch each other's bedside at all.

Gu Yuanbai thought that he only dared to hang around his ear, so he stopped suppressing it. His five knuckle fingers gripped the bed sheet, pouring all the numbness and itchiness all over his body onto the mattress.

The panting sound beside the ear gradually increased, Xue Yuan's hand suddenly stretched out to hold Gu Yuanbai's hand, and inserted forcefully from his five fingers.Gu Yuanbai thought he had seen something, but was suddenly startled, his eyelids twitched violently.

Who would have thought that Xue Yuan's breathing would gradually increase, and after an unknown period of time, he suddenly clenched Gu Yuanbai's fingers and let out a muffled snort.After a while, Xue Yuan's breathing gradually calmed down, his tough fingers loosened, and the quilt was tucked in front of him. Gu Yuanbai thought, intermission?

There was another slight sound from the window, and the movement in the room completely quieted down, and Xue Yuan left.

Gu Yuanbai's fingers still had the sore feeling of being forcibly inserted by thicker fingers, the expression on his face changed back and forth, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the window and gritted his teeth: "Xue Jiuyao—"

Damn, where's the kung fu you learned?

In the middle of the night, climb in through the window, and then you pretend to be innocent for me?
