It's winter, so when she applies balm for skin care, she will pick up a little and apply it on him to prevent his skin from getting rough from being blown outside every day. Now look at how it feels, isn't it nice?
Rong Ci actually didn't like applying these ointments on his face, but she told her a lot that because he ran outside every day and caught the cold, his skin would deteriorate and he would not look good.
He knew that she really liked his appearance, so he could only agree to her putting something on his face.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how did it become like this? He was even willing to let her do whatever she wanted.
Seeing his helpless and conniving look, Xie Yi smiled and leaned into his arms. He stretched out his arms to hug her and covered her with his cloak to keep her warm.
"Is it cold?"
Xie Yixiao shook her head gently, the tassels on her head colliding with each other and making a crisp sound. She leaned in his arms with half-closed eyes, looking a little quiet and soft. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, feeling softer in his heart.
In the past, he was always alone and lived a quiet life. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and thought it would be good to live like that.
But now the two of them live together, although it is not always so harmonious and warm, and sometimes they have differences, but the days are peaceful and gentle, as if they are warming his heart, which is far away from the loneliness of the world, little by little.
He now prefers spending time with her, reading together, admiring flowers in spring, enjoying the cool air in summer, picking fruits in autumn, making tea and wine and appreciating plum blossoms in winter. When he has free time, he or she plays a game of chess or
Play a piece of piano.
This is a spiritual fit. They are husband and wife and close friends.
Although occasionally he would be busy with something, he felt very happy every time he came home to see her at home, either busy with her own affairs, or simply waiting for him.
When the two returned to the mansion, they also went to see Mrs. Rong Guogong and told her about the Xiliang envoy. Mrs. Rong Guogong also had this matter in mind.
"Prince Sukang looked a bit majestic and arrogant, and looked like he was not very talkative. Prince Suye looked gentle, kind, and sunny, but when I looked at him, he didn't seem so kind. Instead, he had something in his eyes.
Calculation."
"As for Princess Zhaorou, it's easier to deal with." Prepare more skin care products for her, she will be her good sister.
Mrs. Rong Guogong nodded: "You have to be careful in dealing with it. We Dongming occupies a great land, and these people have never been less coveted. They just wait for us to be weak, and they will jump up and want to take a bite of us."
Xie Yixiao was a little confused: "Since Xiliang was a vassal state of the previous dynasty, why wasn't it taken back as well back then?"
Duke Rongguo said: "Too many people died in the war back then, and I don't want to fight again. Besides, Xiliang and Dongming are separated by a snow-capped mountain. It's not easy to cross the border, and it's not easy to manage."
"Even if it is recovered, when someone is arranged to manage it, there may be another King of Xiliang. So, why bother adding more casualties?"
They fought against the world initially because they were having too hard a time during the war and wanted to live a better life for themselves. Later, they wanted to bring peace to the world. Later, all parties competed for power. The winner was king and the loser died. They could only fight. There was no choice.
There is a way out.
"Xiliang has been living well under the management of the Xiliang people, and we have no idea that Xiliang belongs to Dongming. As His Majesty said, it is already very good to be able to manage Dongming well."
The most important thing is that they don't want to start another war and kill so many people. If Xiliang remains peaceful, they can have friendly exchanges. If they are not peaceful, they will fight until the time comes.
"If you want to know about this, just ask your elder brother. He should be arranging these things."
Xie Yixiao was not curious about this. She knew that there were precautionary arrangements and it was not that she was not prepared at all, so she felt relieved.
"Envoys from several countries are arriving one after another these days, and this imperial city will become lively." Mrs. Rong Guogong looked outside the house, her eyes seemed to be looking far away, "You must be careful when dealing with these people."
Mrs. Rong Guogong turned to look at the children, and then smiled: "But I am also relieved about you."
Needless to say about Rong Ci for the moment, Xie Yixiao is gentle and gentle, but in fact she is smart and sharp, she is very measured in her actions, has a measured advance and retreat, and knows what to do and what not to do.
She can even cope with His Majesty and make His Majesty praise her highly, let alone several envoys.
Just as Mrs. Rong Guogong said, in the following days, envoys from several countries arrived one after another, some of them were greeted by Rong Ci and Xie Yixiao, and some were replaced by Prince Ning and his wife.
Xie Yi laughed and had some free time. He also took Princess Zhaorou to Xizi Pavilion and gave her a lot of things. He also went to Fan Yue Tower for dinner, and then went to Chang'an Tower and Jiangshang Qingfeng Tower to listen to books and have tea.
Listen to the lively gossip in this imperial city.
As long as Princess Zhaorou does not covet her husband, she can receive him as a friend from afar and take care of him comfortably, making him feel at home.
Princess Zhaorou was having such a good time that she almost forgot about the important matter of marriage. When she was finally reminded by Prince Suye, she made a choice and settled on King Huainan, because King Huainan was not married yet.
Prince Su Ye smiled softly: "This King Huainan is the grandson of Prince Zhaoming. If Prince Zhaoming had not died early, the one who ascended the throne now would not be the current Emperor Yuanping."
Yuanping is the reign name of His Majesty.
"I have heard some news that it was the current Prince Zhaoming who was killed in order to fight for the right to inherit."
Prince Sukang glanced at him coldly: "Do you believe it?"
When Prince Zhaoming died, the situation of the Li royal family was not optimistic, and their future was still unknown. Even if they were to compete for the throne, they would not be able to kill each other at that time.
Prince Su Ye smiled and said: "Do you believe this? If it comes true, the Queen of Dongming comes from our Xiliang royal family, which will be of great benefit to our Xiliang family. If it doesn't come true, it will just be the loss of an abandoned son."
Nothing to lose."
Princess Zhaorou said she was sent to Dongming for marriage, but in fact she was considered a half-abandoned son and could be abandoned at any time.
Prince Sukang did not speak.
Prince Suye suddenly laughed and said: "Third brother, Dongming is a great country. Its territory is really huge. Compared with our Xiliang, it is more than ten times larger. Is it possible that eldest brother is not moved at all?"
Beneath the gentle and kind surface is full of scheming and ambition.
"If we can sit on this piece of mountains and rivers, why wouldn't our royal family be happy? Why should we be trapped in this small Xiliang all our lives?"
