Chapter 680 Beware of the Cold
Xuanyuan Yao's expression was solemn, full of the majesty of the head of the family: "Don't tease your husband."
Xie Jin almost burst out laughing.
"Yes." He lowered his eyes as if pretending to be real, and bowed to Xuanyuan Yao according to the most standard lady's etiquette, "My husband, please accept my respects."
Xuanyuan Yao stared at his instantly changed posture, his expression was really hard to describe, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, if this person grew up in a troupe, he would definitely become the most dazzling pillar of the stage, and everyone in the troupe would have to rely on him for their livelihood.
"Ajin." He said sincerely, "If you can't become a powerful official in the future, you might as well try to sing in a theater troupe to make a living, or go to a famous brothel in the imperial capital to perform, and you will be the mainstay and the most beautiful woman."
Xie Jin stood up straight and stretched out his hand to pinch Xuanyuan Yao's face: "Yaoyao is so cruel. If I can't become a powerful official, you can't support me? You have to let me go out and show my face, perform and smile to support myself?"
"Why do I have to support you?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned, "Isn't it good to be self-reliant? Change the environment and shine, maybe you can even get a name in the history books."
Xie Jin raised his eyebrows: "What name? The world's number one actor, or the eternal male prostitute?"
Xuanyuan Yao finally couldn't help laughing: "The world's number one actor sounds good, very impressive."
"Okay, hurry up and eat." Xie Jin looked up and saw the servants coming in with trays of bowls and dishes. They put their arms around his shoulders and pulled him to sit at the table. "You eat first. I'll go see what my father wants me to do. I'll be back soon."
"I'll go with you."
"No need." Xie Jin pushed him to sit on the chair, speaking leisurely, "It shouldn't be anything particularly important. I'll come after I see it."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Yao no longer forced him. The servant poured him some tea and said respectfully, "Prince Yao, please have some tea."
Others placed the dishes neatly on the table. The meat was fragrant, roast chicken, roast duck, braised beef, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, honey pigeon...
Xuanyuan Yao looked at the dazzling array of dishes in front of him with some subtlety. Although he was appetizing just by looking at them, wasn't it too much? He seemed to have warned Xie Jin not to waste food before, why didn't this man listen?
"My Lord, it's ready."
Xuanyuan Yao said in a light tone: "You guys go down first."
"Yes."
The servants filed out, Xuanyuan Yao sat alone holding a teacup, obviously not planning to start eating before Xie Jin came back. He was even thinking about how the master took care of Her Majesty the Queen when he had meals in the palace?
It is natural for a husband to take care of his wife...
"Why don't you eat?" Xie Jin came back quickly. When he entered the room and saw Xuanyuan Yao sitting still, he asked curiously, "Not to your taste?"
"Waiting for you to come back." Xuanyuan Yao turned his head, "What did your father tell you?"
"Nothing, let us both be careful and not delay the business." Xie Jin sat down and served him a bowl of soup, "Today's morning court was only the Queen, the master stayed in the Dazheng Palace and did not go to court."
"The master did not go to court?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned, "What happened?"
Her Majesty is pregnant. If there is no special reason, the master would not leave the pregnant Queen and let her go to court alone.
"Father said that when he went to the Dazheng Palace to deliver the memorial, he smelled the smell of medicine in the palace." Xie Jin frowned, "The master is in good health, there should be no problem, right? I don't know what medicine is sold in the gourd."
Xuanyuan Yao remained silent.
At present, the court is calm and there should be no special things that require the regent to pretend to be sick to solve. Besides, it is the first time that the queen has gone to court alone and dealt with all the civil and military officials alone.
This doesn't make sense at all.
"I think there may be something wrong with the master's health." Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips, "Have you seen Chu Nanyi these two days?"
Xie Jin frowned: "He seems to have left the imperial city."
"What did he do?"
"I don't know, I didn't ask."
"Ajin, will there be any problem with the master's health?" Xuanyuan Yao's face changed slightly, "What if..."
"What if? Don't think about it." Xie Jin's face became serious, "Hurry up and eat. After eating, go to the palace and see, won't you know?"
Xuanyuan Yao nodded slowly. He was no longer in a relaxed mood, and he was even less in the mood to think about who should take care of whom. The two of them filled their stomachs like a whirlwind and hurried into the palace.
Arriving at the Dazheng Palace, after the palace servants informed them, the two of them smelled a scent of medicine when they entered the palace, and their hearts sank at the same time.
During the routine greeting, Xuanyuan Yao looked up at Rong Yu, who was sitting behind the desk reviewing memorials. His face was noble and indifferent, and there was a sense of oppression between his eyebrows. His complexion looked even better than usual, and he didn't look unwell.
And the one reviewing the memorials was the regent.
Her Majesty was still sitting aside, grinding, and the scene looked extremely beautiful, quiet and leisurely, happy and safe.
It seemed to be no different from usual. If there was any difference, it should be that the temperature in this palace was quite high, much warmer than outside, and Rong Yu was wearing thick clothes.
Xuanyuan Yao's eyes fell on the fur cloak on Rong Yu's shoulders. After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to speak: "What symptoms did the master have?"
Rong Yu looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
"There is nothing wrong with your master's health. I just didn't want him to work too hard, so I found a reason to put him under house arrest in the Dazheng Palace and let him have a good rest for two days." Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Is there any problem?"
Xuanyuan Yao was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Is there a problem?
It seems that there is no problem.
Your Majesty is the king of a country. Even if the regent is deprived of his power on the grounds that "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", he can only stay in the harem and wait for the favor of Her Majesty the Queen in the future. Perhaps this is what the civil and military ministers of the court want.
So even if what Nan Xi said was true, Xuanyuan Yao couldn't say anything, but he didn't believe this argument at all.
"My Lord, are you afraid of the cold?" Xie Jin naturally did not ignore that Rong Yu was wearing a little too much today, "Why are you wearing so many clothes?"
"It's early winter, the climate is cold, you should wear more." Nan Xi looked at the two people in front of him, each wearing thin spring and autumn robes, and couldn't help frowning, "Do you have enough clothes for the two of you? If not, I will send someone to tailor a few thick warm clothes for you. You are wearing too thin clothes, be careful of the cold."
Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao heard the expression of subtle.
Make a few warm clothes?
How many warm clothes would the son of the cabinet's chief minister lack?
Xie Jin vaguely understood something and quickly replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I have a lot of unworn winter clothes in my closet. You don't need to make new ones. If you make too many, you won't be able to wear them all."
Xuanyuan said: "I am the same. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
