After it was decided that Xin You would be in charge, Emperor Xingyuan asked, "A You, who do you want to take with you?"

"I would like to hear your Majesty's advice."

Emperor Xingyuan muttered: "Sweet potato is an overseas crop. Whether it can adapt to the soil and water of Great Summer, and what problems may arise during planting are unknown. According to my wishes, don't make any announcement about this in advance, and bring a few reliable people to be your assistants, etc. Let’s see if the harvest goes smoothly.”

"I think so too. I plan to take Zhu Liu with me."

Emperor Xingyuan glanced at Master Liu: "Zhu Liu brought back sweet potatoes from overseas, so naturally he should be brought with him."

"We also need a Qingzheng censor to supervise."

The first thing that flashed in Emperor Xingyuan's mind was He Yushi, so he asked Xin You for his opinion.

Of course Xin You has no objection.

"Is there anyone else?"

"I would like to invite Marquis Changle to accompany me."

Emperor Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, and even thought he had heard something wrong.

Ayou wants He Qingxiao to go with him?

His first reaction was no, and then he was puzzled: Ayou knew his attitude towards the two of them, how could he make such a request?

Looking at Xin You again, she looked calm and calm, obviously not speaking impulsively.

Emperor Xingyuan frowned.

Xin You said calmly: "Many people must be jealous of the new policy proposed by me, especially when I go to the south. I have to consider safety. In my opinion, Marquis Changle is the most trustworthy..."

Emperor Xingyuan listened to Xin You's unhurried explanation, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

The south is a place where aristocratic families thrive, and most of the officials in the court are from the south. For someone who is absolutely selfless and willing to risk his life to protect Ayou, Marquis Changle is really the best choice.

"Besides -" Xinyou paused.

Emperor Xingyuan waited for her to continue.

Xin You looked at him calmly and said, "I would like to have Marquis Changle accompany me."

Emperor Xingyuan's expression changed, but his tone remained gentle: "Ayou, you said before that you and Marquis Changle are not suitable -"

The Sixth Master was confused.

What's inappropriate? Who is inappropriate with whom?

Mom, is it inappropriate to marry a man to a woman? Girl and Master He?

What happened during his time at sea?

The Sixth Master was too shocked to look at the emperor, so he subconsciously looked at Sun Yan.

In his simple concept, he was working for Miss Xin, and Sun Yan was working for the emperor. They all work for others, and to a certain extent they can understand each other.

Sun Yan looked at the Sixth Master and guessed what the big black guy was thinking, so he showed a complicated smile.

What does this mean? He is a eunuch and has a son, dear.

Xin You nodded: "It is indeed inappropriate. My mind has not changed. But I want Marquis Changle to accompany me."

She proposed the New Deal, made sugar, and brought sweet potatoes back from overseas. She didn't want to take credit. But what she has done, in this person's eyes, isn't it worth letting the man she likes accompany her?

She does not hesitate to contribute to helping the poor people in Daxia live a better life, but she will not be too hard on herself.

She wanted a little sweetness.

She never lacked sweetness when her mother was around. Now that she doesn't have a mother, many people just want her to suffer and don't want to give her sweetness, so she will fight for it herself.

Emperor Xingyuan looked at Xin You steadily, the emotions in his eyes kept changing, and finally nodded: "Since you want to, let Marquis Changle accompany you. But Ayou, don't forget what you said to me."

When he said this, Emperor Xingyuan wanted to tell Xin You that officials are noble and you can marry any son of any family you want, but it cannot be the Marquis of Changle.

He and He Qingxiao's father had fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield, with rivers of blood and countless corpses. They were rivals competing for the country of Daxia. The initial bond of friendship allowed him to retain the blood of the He family, but how could he agree to allow the descendants of the He family to marry his talented daughter, leaving hidden dangers for the Chen family.

It's not that he doesn't love Ayou, but he is not only a father, but also a monarch. He cannot risk the country he lost at the expense of countless brothers and soldiers.

"I remember." Xin You said with a calm expression, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will always remember."

After leaving the palace, Head Six looked at Xinyou's expression and hesitated many times. Xin You looked sideways at him: "What does Sixth Brother want to say?"

"Oh, I just forgot to tell you that the big ship you asked the villain to find someone to build has been built." The sixth master actually wanted to ask about Marquis Changle, but the topic changed as soon as he started.

"Yeah, wait until we get to the south and have a chance to take a look."

Back at Xin's house, Xin You told Xiaolian about going to the south. Xiaolian hurriedly asked: "Can your servant go?"

"Of course I'll take you there."

"That's great." Xiaolian's heart dropped into her stomach, and she asked about the people who were going with her.

"Master He, let's go too, that's great!"

"He Yushi? He Yushi is a good man and will not embarrass the girl."

"It goes without saying that Qian Feng and Ping An want to protect the girl. Grandpa Long Live also arranged for Miss Bai to lead elite soldiers to protect you!"

"Brother Zhu Liu——" Xiaolian paused, then her excitement turned to vigilance, "Zhu Liu is going too?"

Thinking of the freedom to leave the capital, Xin You was in a rare mood and joked: "Brother Zhu Liu is the most familiar with what he is going to do this time. He is indispensable for this trip south."

Xiaolian:!

When He Qingxiao received the instruction to accompany Xin You south, he thought he was dreaming for a moment.

The two met for the first time since the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The place where we met couldn't be more familiar, it was Qingsong Bookstore.

The pomegranate tree in the east courtyard bears a lot of pomegranates, and the branches are bent heavily, adding a bit of joy to the originally quiet courtyard.

Xin You took He Qingxiao into the flower hall. Xiao Lian served tea and quickly stepped back. The swiftness of her movements made Xin You's mouth twitch slightly.

Only then did she discover that Xiaolian also had a hobby of being a matchmaker.

"Are you surprised?" Xin You asked with a smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Within half a month, he seemed to have lost weight again.

"It's surprising." He Qingxiao's eyes were full of joy.

After that night, he didn't know when he would see each other again, but he never imagined that they would get together day and night, experience the long winter together, and go to the spring together.

It would be a precious time that he didn't dare to hope for.

"We'll set off the day after tomorrow." Xin You looked at her sweetheart with a smile, "He Qingxiao, don't be late."

"Won't be late."

After seeing this, He Qingxiao felt relieved and stood up to say goodbye.

Xin You reached out and pulled his sleeve.

He no longer holds the post of envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town, and is wearing a semi-new azure robe with wide sleeves held by slender hands, as suitable as white clouds appearing in the clear sky after rain.

He Qingxiao's Qingrun eyes moved away from that hand and looked at the owner of the hand at a loss.

Time is too slow and too fast. Many times, when I think of the Mid-Autumn Festival night, it feels like a lifetime ago, but most of the time, it feels like yesterday. He clearly remembered all the details and feelings.

But after thinking about it, I felt deep self-loathing.

Xin You guessed that he probably didn't feel any better after that night, and that's why he was reduced to this.

Maybe it's better to get used to it?

"He Qingxiao, are you just leaving?"
