After the marriage, the sick and weak husband fell off the horse

After the dinner was prepared, Xie Chunchao went to invite Sheng Jiajun.

The palace people filed in carrying silver and jade plates with food. In fact, she and Sheng Jiajun were the only two people sitting there, but there were still hundreds of Chu-style delicacies placed on the table.

The State of Sheng loves fresh food, the State of Chu loves spicy food, and the State of Xia loves sweet and sour food.

As soon as Sheng Jiajun entered the door, the rich spicy smell hit his face and poured hard into his throat, causing him to cough a few times.

He glanced at the bright red dishes on the table and said, "Wow, the colors of tonight's dishes are so beautiful."

Xie Chunchao smiled and stepped forward to invite him to sit down. "It just looks spicy, but it doesn't taste spicy."

Sheng Jiajun sat down next to Xie Chunchao, smiling with crooked eyebrows, deep dimples, and a cute and clean sunshine, "Although I am from Sheng country, I am not afraid of spicy food at all."

"really?"

"Of course. If my sister doesn't believe it, I'll show it to her." Sheng Jiajun said, picking up a piece of beef from the red oil soup and putting it into his mouth. His fair face turned red visibly.

He opened his mouth and spoke urgently, like a child eager to show off his results, "Look, it's not spicy at all."

Xie Chunchao looked at his appearance and knew that he was getting hot.

She suppressed her laughter, handed him a glass of honey syrup, and said, "Drink some honey syrup and take it slow."

He would not refuse the drink that Xie Chunchao handed him. After taking it, he took a big gulp of honey syrup and then said, "Sister, I'm really not spicy at all."

"Okay, I understand." Xie Chunchao praised, "His Royal Highness is less afraid of spicy food than us Chu people."

Sheng Jiajun scratched his head in embarrassment and giggled, "That's not to this extent."

After the two joked for a while, Xie Chunchao let him eat the non-spicy dishes.

Although Chu State likes spicy food, not all dishes are spicy, there are also dishes with mild taste.

During the dinner, Xie Chunchao poured a glass of sake for Sheng Jiajun and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when we will see each other again."

"I would like to toast you with a glass of wine. Thank you for taking care of me these days."

Sheng Jiajun picked up the wine glass and said, "Didn't sister choose me? We will definitely meet again soon."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, his fair and soft cheeks turned red, and his eyes lowered shyly. He whispered, "Sister, don't be so polite. Isn't it my duty to take care of my wife?"

Xie Chunchao was stunned for a moment, but did not refute his words, but said with a smile, "I won't say any more unnecessary words. My affection and gratitude are all drunk."

After hearing this, Sheng Jiajun was about to raise a glass to drink when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the door, attracting his attention.

He put down the wine that had just been put to his mouth and asked, "What happened?"

Xie Chunchao's heart tightened, fearing that her plan would be exposed.

The palace man stepped forward and said, "I heard that the ship broke down."

"The ship broke down?" Sheng Jiajun frowned slightly, "How could a perfectly good ship break down? Is it because of pirates?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, we have not seen any pirates. The cause of the ship's damage is also being investigated."

"The person making the noise outside the palace was the person in charge of the ship. He came to report the matter, but was stopped by the palace people, so the two sides had a brief dispute."

Sheng Jiajun was about to speak, but Xie Chunchao said before him, "If the ship breaks down, someone will repair it. We don't know how to repair the ship, so it's useless to tell us. Let the person in charge of the ship get off."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Sheng Jiajun and explained, "Tonight is my last night with you. I don't want anyone to disturb us..."

Xie Chunchao's voice was rare and soft when she spoke. Sheng Jiajun couldn't help but forget about the broken ship and looked at her intently with his deep black eyes.

His Adam's apple moved slightly and he said hoarsely, "Okay, no one will disturb us tonight." After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and said to the palace attendants, "You all leave first."

"Yes."

Outside the corridor, a man dressed in brown clothes asked urgently, "Sir, what did His Highness say?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that if the ship breaks down, repair it. His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know how to repair the ship, so there is no need to report it to him."

"But..." The man in brown clothes was a little anxious, but the boat might have been completely broken...

But he is not sure yet.

Tonight they sailed to land to purchase items, but the ship sank halfway through!

Fortunately, a few experienced sailors swam back, otherwise they might not know that the ship sank until tomorrow.

The incident happened suddenly, and the boatmen didn't know how the boat was damaged.

Everyone speculated whether they met some troublemaking pirates on the way, but if they were pirates, they would definitely rob the ship of property. However, according to the boatmen who came back from the boat, they did not see any pirates.

He had to send another group of people to sail the boat, but the boat sank again, which was really incredible.

These sunken ships are all the ships that are usually responsible for purchasing on the island. They have been using them all the time, and it cannot be due to disrepair.

No matter how he thought about it, it was a strange thing, so he thought about reporting it to His Highness the Crown Prince and asking his people to carefully check whether there was something wrong with the treasure ship.

The treasure ship is an extremely precious ship in the Sheng Kingdom. Without the prince's approval, those people would never let him on board.

"Okay, you can go back." The palace man said impatiently, "Didn't they check it? There is nothing wrong with the treasure ship, so don't worry about it."

"The treasure ship is the most precious treasure of our prosperous country. How can it be damaged so easily? Just go back and repair the ship on your island."

Hearing this, the man in brown clothes had no choice but to swallow back all the unfinished words, bent down and said 'yes' before retreating.

The ship was in strange condition, but on the surface it looked like there was nothing wrong with it...

But as long as it travels on the sea for a period of time, it will sink.

He comforted himself not to think too much, how could the ship on their island compare with the treasure ship? Maybe the ship on the island really needed to be repaired.

After he left, Qiu Qingying and Yu Ning brought jars of honey syrup to express condolences to the guards guarding everywhere.

They are naturally pretty, and when they smile and greet everyone, their tone of voice is cheerful, and their voices are clear and delicate, which makes people feel sweet in their hearts.

"Everyone is tired, come and drink some sweet syrup. This is a special reward from our princess for seeing all of your hard work."

"Come and have a drink, you're welcome."

"Our princess will leave tomorrow. The princess asked us to tell all the brothers to thank you for taking care of us during this period."

They were the ones who followed Sheng Jiajun every day, so they didn't know how much their Crown Prince liked the Princess of Chu.

Moreover, Princess Chu is beautiful and gentle, and they also like her very much.

In addition, Princess Chu was leaving Shengguo tomorrow, so she had no doubts about fraud, and all of them greeted the brothers to drink the sweet syrup they sent.

The room next to the door was brightly lit by candles, and the smoke was slowly rising.

Xie Chunchao smiled and said, "You haven't drunk this glass of wine yet."

Sheng Jiajun looked down at the wine glass he had just placed on the table, touched the already cold wine glass with his fingertips, and asked softly, "Do you have to drink it?"
