[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

Chen Xu fought this battle beautifully, and the Queen Mother withdrew her claws with her tail between her legs without needing to show up. The Queen Mother really spent a lot of time dealing with the wrong things done by her minions.

Liu Xing continued to cry in front of the queen mother and demanded strict punishment. The other party's mother also frequently entered the palace to ask the queen mother to intercede.Chen Xu reckoned that the Queen Mother didn't care about him anymore, so he loosened his muscles and planned to go outing with Liu Che in the countryside.

Because of Chen Ajiao's affairs, the crown prince was not good enough to show up, Chen Xu hadn't seen Liu Che for several days, and when he went to the palace to look for it today, he found Liu Che following Wei Wan in class with a sullen face.

Chen Xu: "..." Normally when he came, even Liu Che was in class, he would immediately rush towards him, but today he was not used to seeing him sitting upright, listening to Wei Wan's lecture on Confucianism.Chen Xu wandered around Liu Che's side for a few times, seeing that Liu Che was still looking at the bamboo slips in front of him without changing his face, so he had no choice but to sit aside and wait quietly for Liu Che to finish his get out of class.

Seeing that it was Chen Xu who came, Wei Wan said a few words and ended today's lecture.

Liu Che took the bamboo slips, and said to Wei Wan, "The teacher didn't say anything new today, so I'll come back to class next time."

Wei Wan: "..." He takes every lecture in his life very seriously, and those who don't prepare are always his students. Today, the prince who has been skipping class said so, but he has no words to refute... Feeling frustrated.

Chen Xu couldn't help but speak for Wei Wan, saying: "The teacher's class always makes people think for a long time, maybe he wants the prince to review what he has learned before. The so-called reviewing the old to learn the new may have new insights."

"Chen Xu, are you here?" When Liu Che saw Chen Xu, he didn't rush to hug Chen Xu as usual, and his facial expression didn't change much except for a little surprise in his eyes.

Chen Xu: "..." What is this indescribable feeling? "I've been here for a while, the prince only cares about learning lessons, but he can't see me anymore."

"Where, since that's the case, I'm going to trouble the Grand Tutor to go back today." Liu Che nodded to Wei Wan, and Wei Wan left, then Liu Che asked Chen Xu: "Chen Xu came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Well... the weather is fine today, so I want to ask if you want to go on a picnic together."

"picnic?"

"Just go hunting in the countryside, and then eat barbecue."

"I'm going to learn riding and archery for a while, but it's only half an hour, and I'm going to learn fencing next."

Chen Xu: "..." Since when did the prince have so many things to do? "Prince...are you still angry about what happened last time?"

"No, just like Chen Xu won't be angry with me, I won't be angry with Chen Xu either, but life is short and I can't waste it." Liu Che said: "I wasted a lot of time before, I think I need to redouble my time." Hard work is it."

Chen Xu: "..." Liu Che was so diligent and studious, he was speechless.

"It seems that I can't accompany you anymore, why not take Wei Qing or Huo Qubing with you." Liu Che said and looked at the sky. "Is there anything else? If not, I will go to the shooting range first."

"Go."

Liu Che nodded and left.

Chen Xu: "..." In the past, even if something happened and we couldn't play happily together, Liu Che would show a reluctant expression, and firmly make an appointment with him for the next time to play, but this time he left just like that?Chen Xu felt very upset.Could it be that he is old and can't keep up with the thinking of young people?

Good, heart, stuffy.

In the end, Chen Xu went back to Princess Guantao's mansion, built a barbecue rack at home with his brother and Zhang Ze, and then got some pieces of meat from the kitchen to roast.

"Lululu, bang bang." The elder brother was sleeping, and Huo Qubing was placed in a bamboo and wooden cradle, swinging around in the yard, making vague syllables as if he was learning to speak.

Zhang Ze asked tentatively, "Are you missing your old life?"

Chen Xu: "No, I'm just a little dissatisfied."

"Dissatisfied with history?"

"No, I'm dissatisfied with the status quo of life." While talking, Chen Xu used a sharpened wooden stick to ruthlessly pierce the piece of meat. "Why do you ask that? Don't you also have dissatisfaction in your heart?"

Zhang Ze shrugged, and before he could speak, he heard Liu's voice coming from a distance. "Hey, you two big men just don't know how to take care of children, how can you put the children by the fire."

Zhang Ze and Chen Xu were both taken aback for a moment, then they saw Liu Xun hugging Huo Qubing.

Huo Qubing opened his mouth and laughed: "Giggle, pop, pop."

"What are you doing? Such a big smoke, what if the child is smoked?" Liu Xun frowned. "Xu'er, it's fine if you get some weird people in the yard, since you're raising their children, you should treat them well."

Chen Xu scratched his head. "yes."

Huo Qubing: "Ah puff puff."

"This kid has been puffing, it looks like it's going to rain." Liu Xing looked at the clear blue sky above his head. "The cloth I just let people hang out today, let people take it back."

"You still need mother to order such a small matter?" Chen Xu also looked up at the sky. "How can it rain without a single cloud?"

"I said it's going to rain, it's going to rain." Liu Xun glared at Chen Xu, and burst out laughing again. "What did I say, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, look at yourself."

Chen Xu: "..." It's not that he's boasting, he's also top-notch in modern cooking, and his two golden retrievers can't stop eating his cooking skills.

Zhang Ze looked at Chen Xu expressionlessly: "Do you need a mirror?"

Chen Xu looked at the bucket of water at his feet, okay, I don't know when there were a few marks on my face, and then I looked at my palm, I don't know when it has become black, this A few marks were obviously made by himself.

Even Huo Qubing laughed at Chen Xu: "Quack quack puff puff."

Chen Xu: "..." What happened today? He obviously solved one thing, why did the whole world turn against him?Even the little guy Huo Qubing was against him... Chen Xu felt that he was not well.

The worse thing is yet to come, because Chen Xu has been busy with A-Jiao's affairs before, and Chen Xu didn't even have time to explain to A-Jiao. These days, Chen A-Jiao has always felt that her brother is going to marry her off, especially when she learned that Chen Xu After going to stop the news of Liu Che's request to the emperor, he actually became angry with Chen Xu.

With great difficulty, Chen Xu stacked up the racks, put a little suckling pig and some pieces of meat on the fire, estimated that they would be ready to eat in less than half an hour, so he took a bath and changed clothes, and then went to Chen Ajiao for spiritual comfort and asked her to When she got up to eat barbecue, Chen Ajiao also looked unhappy when she saw him.

Chen Xu: "... Where did I offend my little sister?"

Chen Ajiao turned her face away, not looking at Chen Xu's face.

Chen Xu leaned forward: "Please, just say something."

"Hmph." Chen Ajiao turned her face away again.

Chen Xu was on the verge of crying. Before she could coax Chen Ajiao well, there was a few patters outside the window, and then there was the sound of rain.Chen Xu: "..." His barbecue is still outside.

Today's troubles are simply too numerous to count.Chen Xu felt that it couldn't be like this. How could he, an old man in his 40s, fail to guess what the young man was thinking?

Simply ignoring the Laoshizi barbecue, sat next to Chen Ajiao and asked, "Why are you angry with me?"

Chen Ajiao still didn't want to talk to him.

Chen Xu said again: "Don't you say that I don't know how to change in my whole life, or do you want us brothers and sisters to remain silent for the rest of our lives?"

How can it be so serious?Chen Ajiao rolled Chen Xu's eyes before she said, "I don't want to talk to you."

"Why don't you want to?"

"You..." Chen Ajiao immediately pouted. "Why did you marry me to that? I heard that I was infected with an unsightly disease, and my goosebumps came out of fright."

"Are you angry with me because of this?" Chen Xu was puzzled, "How could I let you marry that person?"

"You also prevented the prince from requesting an order from the emperor."

Chen Xu: "...don't tell me you want to marry the prince."

"That's not it." Gillian said anxiously: "That's just a temporary measure. Let the emperor agree first, so I don't have to marry that person... Now that I'm in this state, how will I marry in the future?"

"Chen Ajiao from Guantao Princess Mansion is going to marry, who would dare not marry?" Chen Xu sighed when he learned what Chen Ajiao really thought. "Why does your head look like a prince's? Don't say that the emperor does not agree, it means that the emperor agrees with the prince's request. Do you think the queen mother can let you go, let the prince go? Go directly to the queen mother, you are just hitting a stone with an egg."

"Hmph, if he hadn't contracted an illness, your sister wouldn't be sitting here now."

"Who do you think planned his illness?" Chen Xu poked Chen Ajiao's head. "It's so naive."

Chen Ajiao was stunned, and asked: "Yes..."

"Why do you think I'm willing to let my younger sister marry someone I've never met before?" Chen Xu smiled and shook his head.

"It turned out that you had planned it a long time ago and made me unhappy for several days, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chen Ajiao slapped Chen Xu to vent her hatred.

"You know now?" Chen Xu sighed, "Don't put such a face on me in the future, I feel very uncomfortable."

"Is it really uncomfortable?" Chen Ajiao blinked at Chen Xu, and said, "It's okay if you don't feel good, it means you still love me." After speaking, she hummed twice. "In the future, if this kind of thing happens again, you have to inform me in advance, otherwise I will feel very uncomfortable."

Chen Xu: "..."

"Did you hear that?"

"En." Chen Xu nodded, but said in his heart: Indeed, if it wasn't for this friendship in his heart, how could he feel uncomfortable?But Gillian ignored him, and Liu Che ignored him, the feeling in his heart was different after all.

Gillian is his biological sister, so what about Liu Che?Did he always treat Liu Che as his younger brother?So Liu Che ignored him, and he felt uncomfortable?

Seeing that Chen Xu was in a daze on his own, Gillian couldn't help shaking his hand in front of him. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of the barbecue I built in the yard, I'm afraid I can't eat it now, I wanted to ask you to go with me."

"I don't like to eat those things. I stewed herbal soup, and I'll bring you a bowl later."

"it is good."

Zhang Ze sat in the small pavilion in the courtyard with Huo Qubing in his arms, the sound of the rain getting louder and louder.

Zhang Ze: "...Why hasn't Chen Xu come back yet, won't he forget that we are here?"

Huo Qubing: "Giggle, puff puff."

Zhang Ze: "Princess Guantao said she was going to go back, and she didn't know where she went."

Huo Qubing: "Puff puff."

Zhang Ze: "...Little guy, wake up, I don't want to stay with children who can't speak, especially in this situation, it makes me want to throw your body out."

Huo Qubing: "Hehehe."

Zhang Ze: "..."
