Chapter 439 Germination
In the evening, Cui Youbo came out of Tangquan Palace and walked outside the gate of the palace. Han Mo and others had already held the reins to greet him.

At this moment, Cui Youbo heard the sound of horseshoes, he raised his head and followed the sound, and saw several brightly dressed women galloping on horseback in the forest.

Which family's lady is it?

Cui Youbo thought to himself, but suddenly he noticed that the woman in the lead looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

Hanmo followed Cui Youbo's gaze, first gave a surprise, and then reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is Princess Ping'an." A sturdy woman who used to PK with her mistress.

Cui Youbo was stunned, and said in his heart: I said, why does she look so familiar, it turned out to be the prince's second daughter, the one who had feuded with his wife.

What happened a month ago, Cui Youbo knew that night, but that's all.

On that day, Xiao Nan went to the palace to apologize, and when he returned home it was already late, Cui Youbo had already arrived home, and was coaxing a few children to play in the hall.

Suddenly seeing Xiao Nan coming in in a state of embarrassment, Cui Youbo was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lady, what happened? Didn't you go to watch a polo match outside the city? Why did you become like this?"

Her long hair was loose, her face was facing the sky, and she was dressed in moon-white plain clothing, without any accessories on her body. People couldn't help but feel drums when they saw it.

Xiao Nan ordered people to take the children down first, then sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it in big gulps.

She drank a full cup of tea in the blink of an eye, took out the veil and wiped the corners of her mouth, and then told Cui Youbo the details of the conflict on the polo field.

Hearing this, Cui Youbo was startled, and almost jumped to Xiao Nan's side, tugging at her sleeves in a panic, and kept muttering: "...why are you so careless? I've heard of Ba Niang's reputation too. , everyone said that she was extremely ruthless and unruly. Lady, have you ever been injured?"

"Hey, husband, you—" Xiao Nan hurriedly pressed Cui Youbo's hand, met his concerned eyes, and was somewhat moved in his heart. This person still cares about himself.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Nan said: "I'm fine, Da Lang doesn't need to worry. Ah Ming and I have always had a tacit understanding. It seems that we have played countless games like this and have never been injured. On the contrary, it is Ping An and Mrs. Huo, they... They were seriously injured."

Hearing that his wife was fine, Uncle Cui let out a long sigh of relief, reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "It's fine, it's fine. Mistress, you just gave birth and your body hasn't fully recovered yet. In the near future, it is better not to participate in such activities.”

"Well, my husband is right, I was really reckless today, and I hurt Pingan and Mrs. Huo,"

Xiao Nan nodded meekly, and said with a little annoyance: "Although they were not seriously injured by my own hands, this incident happened because of me. It is reasonable for them to resent me for this. An enemy, I, I really—”

Cui Youbo was taken aback, just now he was only concerned about his wife's health, and did not consider the consequences of this matter for the time being.Well, Mrs. Huo is okay, the Huo family is the crown prince's confidantes, and their Cui family is not a vegetarian. Uncle Cui is not afraid of whether the Huo family remembers whether they will hold grudges or whether they will retaliate.

But Princess Ping'an is a little troublesome, her mother Wei Liangdi is very much loved by the crown prince, besides that, she has three younger brothers, among which the eldest brother is the most valued by the crown prince, in the future...

Cui Youbo frowned and pondered, inadvertently seeing Xiao Nan's expression of annoyance, fear and guilt, his heart softened, he stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and comforted him softly: "Miss, don't worry, as long as we do it If they are sitting upright, even if they want to start, they will not find a chance."

Seeing that Cui Youbo didn't complain that he caused trouble for his family, Xiao Nan was very satisfied, and he told the Eldest Princess to lead her to the Taiji Palace to plead guilty and the Queen's punishment to her, and finally said: "Aniang explained that the Ridong Palace has expressed, If this is the case, even if this matter is over, Pingan and Mrs. Huo will not use this matter to provoke any more trouble."

"That's good," Cui Youbo heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows stretched out. If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, he can really feel at ease.

At that time, while Cui Youbo was relieved, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of the specific crux.

One day afterwards, Uncle Cui went to Wang's house as a guest. During the dinner, Mrs. Wang ordered someone to call Wang Ziqian out quietly. It happened that Uncle Cui wanted to change clothes. Under the guidance of his servant, when he walked around the veranda, he saw Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziqian. whisper something.

Because they were far away, Cui Youbo didn't hear their voices, but looking at the expressions of Wang and his wife, he vaguely guessed something: it seems that Mrs. Wang encountered some embarrassment and was discussing with her husband.

In Cui Youbo's impression, Mrs. Wang is a dignified, virtuous, and tough woman. She is not the kind of superficially tough person. Her toughness and toughness come from her bones.

But such a woman with a strong heart is so gentle and submissive when facing her husband.

From dozens of steps away, Cui Youbo could clearly see the eyes of Mrs. Wang looking at her husband, with such trust and reverence, as if looking up to an unattainable god.

At that moment, Cui Youbo finally figured out the crux hidden in his heart, he finally understood why he always felt something was wrong that day.

It turns out, it turns out... Cui Youbo smiled wryly, he knew that all the absurdities of his past had hurt his wife's heart, and the lady's affection for him became weaker and weaker, and she treated him more as a kind of respect between husband and wife.

However, at this moment, Cui Youbo realized that the 'respect' the lady showed him was just a polite way of saying that she didn't really respect him as a husband.

True respect should be like that of Mrs. Wang. When encountering embarrassing things or doing something wrong, she will discuss with her husband nervously and ask her husband for help in soft words.

And what about Xiao Nan?

Cui Youbo closed his eyes hard, recalling all the things the husband and wife got along with, and finally he found sadly that every time there was a big event in the family, Xiao Nan would only discuss it with him in a symbolic way, oh no, no, that's not really important at all' Consult', but inform.Because the final results of those matters basically all echoed Xiao Nan's thoughts.

And the situation that day was even more obvious, Xiao Nan encountered a major incident, her first thought was to go back to her natal family for help, instead of ordering someone to consult with her husband.After all the matters were dealt with, Xiao Nan told him the result symbolically, yes, symbolically.

"Respect each other as guests... Haha, Qiao Mu and I really respect each other as guests," Cui Youbo suddenly remembered the conversation he heard in the Puzhou tavern, and couldn't help but burst into tears. The couple had come to such a strange place.

However, Cui Youbo didn't blame Xiao Nan, who made him behave so poorly and unreliably, forcing Xiao Nan to face it by himself, rather than having a heart-to-heart relationship with him, let alone seek his help.

It's a failure for a man to do what he does!

Since that day, Uncle Cui has fallen into endless self-mockery, regret and reflection. Finally, he finally figured it out and made up his mind to be a good husband and father that his wife and children can rely on wholeheartedly!

All this started because of Princess Ping'an, so let's take this incident as the beginning of his hard work.

Looking at the back of Ping An galloping away on his horse, Cui Youbo said to himself silently.

Back in Bieye, Cui Youbo wiped his face vigorously, buried all his thoughts in his heart, put on his old smile, and strode into the atrium.

In the main house, Xiao Nan was playing with a few children.

Seeing Uncle Cui coming in, Lingxi, Changsheng and Ah Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Aye, you are back!"

Cui Youbo nodded slightly, lowered his head and smelled the sweat on his body, greeted Xiao Nan, and then went to take a bath and change clothes.

In the backyard, Cui Youbo was lying on his back in the hot spring pool, while letting the hot spring fish gently nibble his old skin, while listening to his confidant's report.

The young servant held a cotton towel in his hand, rubbed his master's back vigorously, and whispered in his mouth: "... Li Xianjun finished making a joke, and the lady immediately refuted it back... During the banquet, Princess Ping'an once I provoked my wife several times, but she was stopped by her... Before leaving, Princess Pingan invited my lady to go hunting on horseback, but she refused and agreed, and made an appointment to go to the Maolin on the west side of Mount Li in three days."

After Cui Youbo finished cleaning, the servant happened to explain Xiao Nan's words and deeds in detail today in the Shu King's Bieye.

"Very well, I will continue to pay attention to the lady's every word and deed in the future, this is your reward!"

Cui Youbo nodded in satisfaction, and casually threw him a bulging purse.

The servant held the purse in both hands, thanked him repeatedly, and patted his chest to express that he would definitely do things for the gentleman in the future.

If Xiao Nan was present, she would definitely be able to recognize this person, this person is none other than Niu Erlang who was just selected from the family slaves to drive with Qin Zhen.

With wet hair on his head, Cui Youbo returned to the main hall, sat beside Xiao Nan, teasing the quadruplets.

He seemed to ask casually: "Miss, is going to Shu Palace today, is everything going well?"

Xiao Nan shook an exquisitely crafted rattle drum, and two emerald jade beads tinkled on the surface of the drum, causing a few little buns to stare at her without blinking.

Hearing this, Xiao Nan replied: "Oh, it's alright, it's just that Mr. Li didn't know the seriousness, and laughed at Awei in public. I really couldn't stand it, so I satirized her a few words. However, this Mr. Li is also, she Husband is just a clan, and I don't know where she got the courage to laugh at Awei. Although the king of Shu was demoted, he is still the king of the county after all, and it is far from something a small clan can afford to provoke."

Unknowingly, the topic was diverted by Xiao Nan to Mr. Li County.

Cui Youbo couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then he returned to normal, and told his wife the information he had investigated: "Zong Zheng and a few powerful Li family members raised several polo teams, and they set up gambling games on weekdays and made a lot of money. Less money. Now that Awei has created a polo tournament, all the dignitaries and common people in Beijing are attracted, and Zongzheng's gambling game can no longer continue, so—"It's 'money' that's to blame!

Xiao Nan was stunned, thinking about talking, it seems that she has to remind Cui Wei a few more words, otherwise those people will continue to find fault, and maybe the Cui family will be implicated.

Xiao Nan thought about Cui Wei, but Cui Youbo thought about Xiao Nan: It seems that he still needs to investigate a few more people...

PS: Uh, make up for yesterday's drops.
