Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 83 Li Ru's Confusion, Scholars, Farmers, Industry and Commerce
In the early morning of the next day, the warm sun was high and the sun was shining brightly. In the back garden, among the flowers, on the clear pond, in a gazebo with willows blowing, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were sitting in it and playing chess. Hongxiu, Hexiang, and two other concubines who had just taken in a short time ago were sitting by the side. Wen Chou's return of heart put Yuan Xi in a good mood, and he pulled all his women out to get together at once, and saw that they might Delicate and pretty, or beautiful and elegant, or smart and cute, it is so beautiful at a glance.

Of course the most beautiful one is Zhen Mi who is sitting opposite Yuan Xi. She is wearing a red dress today, she is pure and lovely, she is as beautiful as a fairy, gentle as water, and she is indeed extravagant.

After the two had smoked for about half a stick of incense, Hongxiu looked at Yuan Xi who was frowning tightly, covered her mouth and said with a sneaky smile. "Husband, you seem to be out of chess"

"It's my sister who is too good at chess." He Xiang, who exuded a faint elegance, and her temperament was completely different from when she was a maidservant, said respectfully to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Xi who was frowning, and said, "Husband, why don't you try another dish."

"Come and come, this is just an accident, the next one will definitely win." Hearing this, Yuan Xi still didn't believe it.

However, after three games in a row, Yuan Xi fell headfirst on the chessboard, as if he was ashamed to see the world.

Seeing this scene, the girls immediately burst out laughing.

Yuan Xi slowly raised his head, looking at the happy women, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, besides calming down the world, men also want to make their women happy.

"Do you want to come again, husband?" Zhen Mi asked with a blink of an eye.

"Farewell..." Yuan Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a wry smile, "Mi'er is very skilled at chess, I can't win for my husband."

"No way, my husband is far-sighted and ambitious, so naturally he won't work hard on these small ways." Zhen Mi shook her head and gave Yuan Xi a step up.

"Haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly, put down the chess pieces, and asked with concern: "Mi'er, the day after tomorrow is my father's birthday, how are you preparing for the birthday gift?"

"It's all ready." Zhen Mi immediately gestured to the maid at the side, who nodded, gave a salute, and slowly retreated.

After a while, three maids came over with trays in their hands, and saw a crystal clear, snow-white Jade Buddha, a big red coral, and a fist-sized night pearl, all of which were amazing treasures .

"These three birthday presents are all obtained by my uncle's search. Each of them is a rare treasure in the world, especially this red coral. It is said that fishermen in Qingzhou searched for it in the sea. It is rare to see in a hundred years!" Zhen Mi said with a smile.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, pointed to the Jade Buddha in the middle, and said, "Just choose this as a birthday gift! Send the rest back to the Zhen Mansion."

Zhen Mi was startled, and hurriedly said: "Husband, although this White Jade Buddha is good, it is not as good as the other two. I heard that the birthday presents of the third younger brother and the eldest brother are very unusual, why don't you send them together!"

Yuan Xi smiled, "It's because they are making careful preparations that I can't steal the limelight. This Jade Buddha represents peace and is most suitable."

Zhen Mi frowned, knowing that Yuan Xi was keeping a low profile, and after gently letting the maids back away, she said with a serious face: "Husband, I have something to say to you."

Yuan Xi was taken aback, and said to He Xiang's four daughters: "You guys go down first."

"No!" The four girls immediately bowed to Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi in a sensible manner, and then slowly backed away.

"Mi Er, what is so serious?" Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi's little hand and sat aside.

"Husband, I still won't go for the birthday. Although I don't know what father thinks, it's better not to show up, so that nothing will happen," Zhen Mi asked expectantly.

Yuan Xi frowned, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this matter discussed? Mi'er doesn't need to be like this at all. My husband wants to take you away now, and no one can stop him."

"But!" Zhen Mi was a little worried.

"Don't worry, this matter is settled like this." Although Yuan Xi's tone was soft, his eyes were very firm.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Mi couldn't help but sighed, feeling a little worried.

Around noon, when Yuan Xi was reviewing some memorials sent by the big camp in the study, Li Ru suddenly appeared here in Zhen Mi's bedroom, looking at the ground with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Liang, although I don't know your background, I can clearly feel my husband's trust in you. This is unprecedented. I also believe that you are a world-class talent. There is one thing that I hope you can analyze for me. Analysis" Zhen Mi said expectantly.

Li Ru's eyes were fixed, but he still lowered his head. This is the rule. The son's wife and concubines are not allowed to look at them casually, and asked: "Madam, what's the matter, just tell me."

"Mr. Liang, raise your head up," Zhen Mi said suddenly.

After hesitating for a while, Li Ru raised her eyes slightly, took a look, and suddenly her pupils shrank. She was such a beautiful woman, comparable to Diao Chan back then.

"Mr. Liang, let me tell you a story." At this moment, Zhen Mi stood up slowly, and talked about her queen's fate and her marriage to Yuan Xi with a sigh.

A few minutes later, Li Ru finally understood. After nodding his head in understanding, he said with a smile, "It turns out that Madam's appearance is indeed rare in the world, and she is by no means inferior to the ancient Xi Shi. Yuan Gong had this thought back then. It is indeed possible, but Liang thinks that both the wife and the young master may have worried too much. From Liang's understanding of Yuan Gong during this period of time, he is definitely a good father. Maybe Yuan Gong has dismissed this idea after the wife married the young master. Otherwise, he would not have conferred the title of Young Master Governor of Youzhou, and he will be in charge of one side alone."

"Then why did my father marry me to my husband?" Zhen Mi asked in confusion, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan didn't even have wives back then!
A hint of wisdom flashed in Li Ru's eyes, "Ma'am, this is Duke Yuan's wisdom and your son's helplessness, haven't you seen it yet? Although Mr. Yuan was amazed by his wife's beauty, he also has the so-called fate of a queen. But as the so-called scholars, peasants and businessmen, Mrs. Yuan is still no more than a businessman with a low status in Yuan Gong's mind, and the eldest and third sons are his intended candidates for the heir, so he does not want the two sons to compete for his wife, and secondly, he wants to fight for his wife. They all choose the daughters of the gentry, the wife of the eldest son is the daughter of the Zhang family, and the fiancee of the third son is the daughter of the Hu family, both of them are noblemen with extraordinary status."

Zhen Mi was startled suddenly, and she woke up instantly. It turned out to be like this, and a bit of shame could not help but appear on her face.

"My husband, as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, took me, the daughter of a businessman, and I really feel aggrieved. It's a waste of my arrogance." Zhen Mi's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

"Ma'am, don't say that, the young master has a deep affection for you. Although Liang has only been with the young master, he can clearly feel that the young master has never cared about these things, especially the nobles. Now they are still useful to the young master, but Once the son dominates the world, pacifies the princes from all walks of life, sweeps across the lands of foreign races, and has millions of armor under his command, these high-minded gentry will be wiped out one by one, and there can only be one voice in the world , then the young master, there is no one else but this." A frenzy flashed across Li Ru's face, and before he knew it, he had completely turned his heart to Yuan Xi.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Zhen Mi's face, and then she bowed deeply to Li Ru, "I hope you will help your husband more in the future, if there is anything that needs help, Zhen Mi will definitely do my best."

"Ma'am, you're welcome." Li Ru hurriedly returned a salute, and said with a smile, "Ma'am, you should muster up your courage, because you are no longer alone, and standing behind you is the son, who is gentle on the outside and bully on the inside. On the surface, Liang can say a big word, if the young master is really angry, the whole city of Ye will be shaken."

Zhen Mi's pupils shrank, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, with a proud expression for Yuan Xi on her face, she completely relaxed.
