446 - Extra Reward
Hearing the movement, Huo Tainan stood up and looked up at Chu Liangrao, only to see that she was wearing a goose yellow dress, and she didn't wear a bun, but only tied a braid loosely on her shoulders. If her belly wasn't too conspicuous, She looked like an unmarried girl.

"Did you sleep well?" Chu Liangrao asked with a smile on his knees.

Huo Tainan couldn't help laughing, and cooperated with a serious expression: "I slept well."

Chu Liangrao giggled, and handed the wet handkerchief to Huo Tainan: "I prepared your favorite tamagoyaki for breakfast."

"My lady still loves me." Huo Tainan wiped his face and said salivatingly.

Chu Liangrao laughed and said, "After washing, let's eat."

The two of them had breakfast peacefully and didn't go out of the house, just watching the winter jasmine in the yard.

"Yesterday we didn't talk about it, but today we did. It seems like we're welcoming you." Chu Liangrao glanced at Huo Tainan, "They're all spiritual."

"Where is the flower's spirituality? It's clearly because the husband is afraid that the wife will wait until the flowering period." Huo Tainan defended, as if he was afraid of being robbed of the credit by a few flowers.

This appearance is really cute, Chu Liangrao leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.

"What about this side?" Huo Tainan turned his face sideways.

"You are so beautiful." Chu Liangrao smiled and nodded his nose.

"Good lady, let's have a bite here too." Huo Tainan said flatteringly.

Only then did Chu Liangrao look unhappy, and leaned forward to kiss him, but Huo Tainan turned his face away at this time, and happened to kiss two warm, soft lips.

A gleam of success flashed in his eyes, Huo Tainan said: "My lady is really enthusiastic."

Chu Liangrao blushed, "You know how to make fun of me."

Huo Tainan smiled, put his arms around Chu Liangrao from behind and said: "You know, my lady, the veil you embroidered for my husband made me a lot of fun."

"Isn't it pretty?" Chu Liangrao said sternly, "Who dares to say that you are not, pull it out and let me see it, and bring me one in the future."

Looking at Chu Liangrao, Huo Tainan felt helpless, his wife was really naughty to the extreme.

Pulling Huo Tainan, Chu Liangrao asked nervously: "You won't throw away the handkerchief, will you?"

"It's a gift from my wife, I dare not throw it away." Huo Tainan said, and took out a stack of square handkerchiefs from his arms. The pink heart-to-heart on the crescent white handkerchief looked very girlish indeed.

Even Chu Liangrao, who had been embroidering for a long time, couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

She originally wanted to have a good meaning, but she didn't expect to embroider such a motherly thing for Huo Tainan, it's okay for her to hold it by herself, but for a man like Huo Tainan, it's really awkward no matter how you look at it.

"Still laughing." Huo Tainan pinched Chu Liangrao's face.

"I'll embroider a bear for you next time." Chu Liangrao blinked and said playfully, "We'll see who can say anything then?"

Embroidered...bear?

Huo Tainan suddenly didn't know what to say, this embroidered tiger is good, why would he think about embroidered bears?

Even if he has never seen the appearance of a bear with his own eyes, he just read it in a book and knows the general appearance. Can Chu Liangrao embroider it?
Thinking about it, Huo Tainan said: "Then just wait for your wife's good news as a husband."

Just do what you say, Chu Liangrao brought a needle and thread, and directed Huo Tainan to straighten the thread while he started to draw patterns.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was so serious, Huo Tainan also put away his playful expression, and arranged all the lines that Chu Liangrao needed. He raised his face to take a look at the appearance of Chu Liangrao's painting, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Chu Liangrao didn't get distracted at all, and looked at the front of her seriously, hooking strokes with every stroke.

After a while, a cartoon bear appeared on the paper.

"Okay." Chu Liangrao showed it to Huo Tainan.

Huo Tainan looked at it, and felt that this little bear was so naive, so cute, it didn't have the ferocity of a beast.

However, seeing that Chu Liangrao was interested, he still nodded and said, "It looks good."

Chu Liangrao raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and took out the brown thread to thread the needle out of the window.

This movement was so soothing and gentle, Huo Tainan couldn't help but be fascinated by it, as if he had seen this scene a long time ago, the sunlight outside the house lightly sprinkled on the woman in front of him, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light.

After threading the needlework, Chu Liangrao began to do needlework.

Huo Tainan had nothing to do, so he simply found a few books to read.

Chu Liangrao remembered those books on the art of war, and said, "Daddy found a set of art of war, it's for you." After saying that, he asked Mother Du to bring the set of books.

Huo Tainan took out a book to read it, and read it in a short while.

Chu Liangrao continued to work on the needle and thread, but also remained silent.

The two people are doing their own things quietly, without disturbing each other, there are tea fruits and pastries in the middle, and the picture is quiet and beautiful.Occasionally, the wind outside the window will bring a few strands of coolness, which makes the picture more elegant and beautiful.

Zhengxiu was concentrating, but she heard Du's mother say that someone came from the palace.

Putting down the needle and thread in his hand, Chu Liangrao looked at Huo Tainan and said, "I'll go and have a look and I'll be back."

"En." Huo Tainan didn't hesitate, and lay down to read a book, looking leisurely.

As for Chu Liangrao, sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Mama Du combed her hair.

Putting down the book, Huo Tainan looked at Chu Liangrao, saw her blinking in the mirror, and laughed too.

While looking at each other, Madam Du also combed Chu Liangrao's hair and changed her clothes, and Chu Liangrao left the room.

From beginning to end, Mama Du never asked Huo Tainan a word of gossip, she was very polite.

The door creaked shut, and Chu Liangrao and Mama Du walked out of the room.

After about a stick of incense, Chu Liangrao came back, took off the hair ornaments on her head, and said, "The Holy Majesty rewarded a few things, because of the portrait."

Huo Tainan nodded and turned a page of the book.

"Why didn't you ask what you gave?" Chu Liangrao turned his back and untied his bun, letting his hair fall down like a waterfall, adding a bit of softness to his face.

"The rewards in the palace are nothing more than that, nothing out of the ordinary." Huo Tainan said, "Besides, you won't be rewarded for anything."

Chu Liangrao slightly raised his eyebrows.

Seeing Chu Liangrao's expression, Huo Tainan shook his head with a smile and said: "If it's just for the portrait, how could the Holy One reward you extra, but it's just a name to confirm your idea."

Only then did Chu Liangrao smile, and said, "It's just that I don't know who will entrust this matter to."

"If we want to do this well, we must have prestige. I think the Holy One will probably pick a prince." Huo Tainan's eyes fell back to the book, and his tone was calm.

"Isn't that..." Chu Liangrao swallowed the rest of the words, thoughtfully.

It is indeed not appropriate to leave this matter to civil servants or military officers. After all, it is related to the friendship between the two countries. It is the most appropriate for the prince to come forward. However, seeing Huo Tainan's determined appearance, Chu Liangrao asked: "Which prince do you think it will be?" ?”
