Chapter 77

Shen Yuexi carried two packed chickens into the kitchen.

Yang Cong and General Qiu Liming were investigating the enemy's situation in Xirong, so she had to cook for herself.

In the evening, General Mengyue would come with Xiao Zhuo. It was too late for the little chickens she raised. She went to Zheng’s house in the village to buy two chickens. return.

One can be stewed in chicken soup, and the other can be eaten roasted.

Perhaps it was because of her cooking, Mrs. Li and her own daughter hid in the house and never came out.It wasn't until Xiao Zhuo came back at night that the two of them heard movement outside, and then they walked out of the house slowly.

The smell of chicken fills the yard.

Based on the memories of her previous life, Shen Yuexi also has the existence of a universal manufacturing machine. If she wants seasonings, she can almost find [-]% of them by wandering around the village.

Meng Yue, who had just stepped into the courtyard, smelled it fiercely, and then grinned at Xiao Zhuo: "My lord, who made the dinner? This taste is really delicious. Tonight we will have a good drink and good food." .”

"After this incident, General Meng still has the same state of mind. Song admires such a great talent." The man who spoke was a man in his 30s who followed behind him.

He was wearing a sky-blue robe, with a tall and capable figure, with a bookish look, but a hint of wit.

This person is Song Zhen, the prefect of Yuzhou who was implicated in the abolition of the crown prince. Fortunately, he was only demoted and sent to this frontier to become a small county magistrate.

After receiving Xiao Zhuo's letter a few days ago, he immediately replied to Xiao Zhuo, expressing his willingness to be loyal.

Today's world is becoming more and more incomprehensible, and loyal and good ministers are framed and victims abound.

Once upon a time, Song Zhen also had lofty aspirations, admired the prince's talent, and originally wanted to take refuge in him, but the court suddenly changed, which made him feel depressed about serving the country.

Seeing the deposed prince again now, he didn't mean to be decadent, he was still high-spirited, and a surge of pride suddenly rose in his heart.

"Where, where, how dare I mention the word "big talent" in front of the prince." Meng Yue looked at Xiao Zhuo respectfully.

No one knew that the crown prince, under thousands of troops, outwitted the power of the enemy's city.

What kind of talent is that, how can it be that Xiao Xiao is comparable.

Now that the prince is in trouble, as long as he raises his arms and shouts, there are many people who turn to him.It's just that His Royal Highness has always taken into account the relationship between father and son, and has not made any major moves.

But now it is different from the past, the emperor tried everything possible to put the prince to death, and the layer of paper had already been torn.

Since the king is not the king, and the father is not the father, then simply turn against this useless court.

Song Zhen nodded, looking at Xiao Zhuo's eyes with light in them.He bowed to Xiao Zhuo: "Song is not talented, and I am willing to go all out to assist the lord to achieve great things."

He is not a warrior like Meng Yue and Qiu Liming, but is good at strategy.

Xiao Zhuo stepped forward quickly, and put his hands together: "The enemy is coming, civil strife will arise, the country will be destroyed, and the people will not be able to live. Now I am sitting on the throne, and I don't think about the suffering of the people. The suffering of the enemy is not the blessing of the people. I want to To restore the mountains and rivers, to protect the people, Lord Song treats each other with sincerity, and is willing to serve Zhuo, and Zhuo will take care of himself."

This was moved with reason, and Xiaozhi said it with emotion, which directly poked Song Zhen's heart, and his eyes were reddened.

Born in a farming family, he knew the hardships of the people since he was a child, and determined to be an official in the sky, but he was framed repeatedly along the way in the officialdom, depressed and frustrated.It was so easy to be the prefect, but he was demoted again.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still young and old in the family, he would have died long ago.

Song Zhen raised his robe and kowtowed on his knees, his waist, which was as straight as a green pine, folded down: "I wish to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

In Song Zhen's heart, no one can replace the prince, and Xiao Zhuo is the justifiable Prince of Yan.

The soldiers and followers who followed also knelt down and shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Hearing the movement outside, Shen Yuexi washed her hands, put down her handkerchief and walked out of the kitchen.

Shen Yuexi listened to the frank conversation between the monarch and his ministers just now.

She walked out of the kitchen and looked at the people kneeling on the ground in the yard, her heart was shaken.Only then did she deeply understand what it means to die for a confidant.

It's just that when I think of so many people coming, the meals I prepared are obviously not enough.She hurriedly turned around and walked towards the kitchen in a hurry, washed the rice and put it in the pot, and cooked another full pot of rice on the stove.

There are vegetables and rice, and everyone must be able to eat enough.

Xiao Zhuo looked up at Shen Yuexi, who was busy in the kitchen, and walked towards her with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Cousin," Li Wan lifted the curtain and ran towards Xiao Zhuo, "You are finally back, Wan'er has been waiting for you all afternoon."

Xiao Zhuo turned his body to one side, avoiding her flying body, stood still and stared at the person who came.

"Don't be reckless," Xiao Zhuo's voice was as clear as frost, "Is there anything I can discuss with your cousin.

Li Wan was startled, she stopped, and looked at Xiao Zhuo with disbelief.

It was rare for Xiao Zhuo to look at her, with serious eyes: "What your cousin means is what I mean, do you understand?"

The voice is light, but indescribably cold.

Li Wan was taken aback by Xiao Zhuo's sudden change, and her heart couldn't help beating wildly.

She saw that scene just now, and those words of surrender hit her heart, causing her to suddenly have infinite reverie.

She stared fixedly at Xiao Zhuo, those sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, making her at a loss as to what to do.

Only then did she realize that even though her cousin had been abolished as the crown prince, the aura of the superior person on him still remained unchanged, but he was more restrained now.

When she first arrived, she clearly saw that her cousin was not as inaccessible as before, and she was even very happy to see her mother. Why did she return to her previous appearance in just one day?

Thinking of the past, she was not reconciled.

Which of the noble ladies in the capital does not silently love the prince, but she knows that her cousin has no intention of getting close to any woman.

Why did Shen Yuexi get such protection from her cousin in just one month?
Shen Yuexi is obviously not my cousin's real wife.

A series of doubts and annoyances gave Li Wan a bad premonition.

Thinking of another possibility, she looked at Xiao Zhuo in shock.

Xiao Zhuo ignored Li Wan and walked towards Shen Yuexi.

Li Wan's aggrieved expression fell into the eyes of Meng Yue who was following behind him. He thought about it, rubbed his nose and strode towards the kitchen.

Where there are women, there are many things. He still feels that the food in the kitchen is more attractive to him.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Li Wan felt embarrassed.

Tears soon filled his eyes.

At this moment, Mrs. Li had already stepped out of the room. She hadn't heard and seen what Li Wan did just now.

As a lifetime in the Hou's mansion, when she first saw Shen Yuexi, she knew that this person was different from those women in the back house.

She walked slowly to her daughter, took her hand and scolded: "Look at you, even if there is something urgent, wait until your cousin has dinner and say yes?"

When Shen Yuexi heard what Mrs. Li said, she glanced at her indifferently.

"Miss, it's hard work." Xiao Zhuo took her hand, and suddenly approached her ear, whispering, "Auntie's matter..."

"I can handle it now." Shen Yuexi tugged at his sleeves, signaling to him that General Meng and other outsiders were still there.

Meng Yue looked at the two of them and laughed loudly: "It's okay, you all pretend that I'm not here, I'll go eat first. People in our army don't have to be so particular, just do it yourself."

After speaking, he went straight into the kitchen.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li and Li Wan who were behind her all looked down.

Li Wan wanted to speak again, but Madam Li gave her a glare.
