A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 644: The Husband Cooks
Su Wei stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and smiled:
"As the saying goes, those who are capable will be given the position. If we can bring back King Fengling, it will be a blessing for the Great Zhou, just like Zhuge Liang supported the Han Dynasty and Jiang Wei continued the Han Dynasty. This is the destiny of heaven."

"Then I'll have to trouble you to come back to Beijing and supervise the construction for me. It doesn't need to be luxurious, but it does need to be spacious. The Suxing Mansion and Fengling Palace will surely be very lively in the future."

After Su Wei bowed to thank King Fengling for his trust, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Everyone says: The first three kingdoms exhausted the heroic spirit, and the last three kingdoms were full of cowards. It was not until Your Highness came back that my eyes were brightened again and again."

Yuan Wuyou laughed: "Oh? What am I?"

"In terms of etiquette, Feng Ling has the aura of an emperor. Whether you are the Mysterious Lady ascending to the throne of the emperor, or the emperor star falling, it all depends on what you do."

"I will first accumulate wealth and live a secular life." Yuan Wuyou glanced at Jialuo who was still standing with the sword in her arms, "I will go and count the money in the Zheng Mansion. Please ask the prince consort to tell the emperor to lend me Jialuo and her adoptive father Yuchi Jiong."

After Su Fu Ma left, Yuan Wuyou took Jia Luo to make arrangements.

"A Luo, I remember your adoptive father is good at accounting. Let him make a Yin-Yang account book and divide the things into three parts. There are two open accounts and one hidden account. You can take the first open account to Fengling Palace to help me manage it. The second hidden account will be hidden and saved as a betrothal gift for you. When you like a man, I will come back and marry him to you. The last open account, I will return it to Zheng family of Xingyang in Qi in an open and aboveboard manner."

Jia Luo heard this and nodded in response: "You can take care of it, but men don't need it."

"Let's talk about that later. I will put the blood letter and the red seal of the previous empress on the secret account with great fanfare. No one will dare to intercept it. As for the open account, I'm afraid there will be bandits robbing it. When the time comes, you can adapt to the situation and replace it with sand and stones. Even if they are all robbed, we still have the secret account."

Jia Luo clasped his fists and bowed: "I will follow the young master's orders."

"Now you can change it to Lord. Lord Huaxu."

After arranging the Zheng family inheritance, Yuan Wuyou took the Xiangyang prefect out to study the Xiangyang soldiers' formation and return route.

***
Because of the falling out with the Zhou State, Bowang fell into the hands of the Zhou State again, and Xiao Tongyan's house was confiscated.

Yuan Wuyou wanted to take the opportunity of sending Zheng's inheritance out of the city, with Yuchi Jiong and Jialuo protecting him, to take the governor of Xiangyang out of the city. But he suddenly found that the wrist knife he had hidden in his wrist guard for self-defense was missing.

The only time she undressed was at Xiao's house, so it must have been left there, so she quickly asked for a horse and went out of the city to look for it.

As expected, the entrance of Xiao's house was surrounded by soldiers from the Zhou government.

Looking at the palace soldiers dressed in black and wearing armor on their faces, one can tell that they are the personal guards of the Zhou emperor.

Yuan Wuyou's heart suddenly tightened, thinking, could Yuwen Huaibi be in there?
Yuan Wuyou stopped his horse and didn't dare to get close. Suddenly, a young general in red lacquered armor appeared in front of him. He held a bunch of wild flowers in his hand and approached with a big smiling face.

"Are you Fengling Wangba?"

"... King Fengling, there is no eight."

"Oh, it's all the same. You're not happy when I praise you for your longevity." After saying that, the fiery young general in red armor turned around and shouted at the door, "Ayun! The turtle is coming!"

Yuan Wuyou was so angry that he jumped down immediately. He really wanted to chase the boy and kick him!
When I reached the door, I saw the boy in red armor jumping onto a general in black armor. The general was scolding him, "An Di, don't be rude."

Seeing her coming, they parted awkwardly. The black-armored general immediately introduced himself and apologized on behalf of his brother, saying that he was Yuchi Yun, the Right Wu Bo Zhong Daifu of the Sixth Imperial Guard, and that he was guarding the new house for the emperor.

After Yuan Wuyou explained her purpose of looking for something, Yuchi Yun said that the room she had stayed in was still occupied by Prince Ande, so he should go and ask him to leave. Yuan Wuyou was quite surprised to hear that Gao Yanzong had not left, but she seemed to have guessed the reason.

As soon as Yuan Wuyou entered the wing room where he had rested, he saw a man in crimson military uniform sitting in a dignified posture, waiting obediently at the high-legged table in the front hall. On the table were two purple clay pots and a pile of white porcelain bowls and chopsticks.

The man wore a golden crown, with his hair neatly tied inside the crown, looking like a typical husband.

She was startled, "Who are you?"

As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold, took a closer look, and met the man's brown peach eyes.

It was indeed Gao Yanzong.

The only difference is that he straightened his bangs and braids, combed them neatly, and tied his hair with a golden crown.

When he saw her coming, the man stood up suddenly, and began to lift the lid of the clay pot on the table, and scooped out the porridge with a spoon, while glancing at her and smiling, "You're back? I guessed that you didn't eat, so I bought some food from the villagers."

Yuan Wuyou stared at him for a long time, and with difficulty moved his gaze away from his handsome face with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and his gaze fell on the white porridge in his bowl.

"You made the porridge? When did you learn how to cook porridge?" After asking, he remembered the purpose of his visit and hurriedly asked, "Did you remove my wrist knife? Do you know the consequences of stealing my life-saving weapon?"

The man snorted, "What do you think of me?" As he spoke, he put down the wooden spoon that served him porridge, held the bowl in one hand, and with the other hand he pulled out a sheathed three-inch dagger from his waist and slammed it on the table.

"Look, I found it when I came back to make the bed. I knew you would come back to get it, so I didn't dare to ask anyone else to give it to me for fear that they wouldn't give it to you. So I shamelessly left it here and waited for you to come back."

After saying this, he held up the porridge in his hand and faced her.

Yuan Wuyou laughed twice and said, "I'm sorry, I was just judging you by my own standards."

As she approached the dining table, she first put away the dagger on the table and put it into her wrist guard, then pulled a chair and sat down. Gao Yanzong handed her the bowl of warm porridge in his hand.

The man smiled and said, "I couldn't get used to the food in the barracks at first, so I learned how to make side dishes from the fireman. I haven't cooked for many years and my cooking skills are not so good. But I've tried it and it tastes pretty good."

After a pause, he lowered his eyebrows and lifted the lid of the purple clay pot to reveal a bowl of black chicken soup. "You've been injured and bleeding all day, so you need to replenish your body. This is my first time making soup, would you mind giving me a taste?"

Yuan Wuyou, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't tell what she felt in her heart. But she couldn't help but ask, "The sun rose from the west today? How did my vixen learn to be virtuous?"

The man didn't even raise his head. His originally deep and magnetic voice was squeezed, but he tried his best to speak softly: "Most people are not what they seem on the outside. If I didn't look like a vixen on the outside, how could I seduce you to appreciate my inner self?"

Yuan Wuyou thought it was ridiculous, so he interrupted her and asked, "Why did you tie your hair up suddenly?"

Gao Yanzong raised his eyelashes when he heard that, then looked up at her with a smile.

"Because I want to see you. As long as I'm with you, I'm considered a husband, so naturally I have to tie my hair up to show that I'm married." After a pause, he lowered his head to serve the chicken soup.
