Chapter 365 Do you like me?
During meal time the next day, Ruoxuan sat back next to Xuanyuan Que smoothly.

As soon as Ruoxuan sat back next to Xuanyuan Que, she immediately said, "Brother Xuanyuan, I want to eat rabbit meat."

Xuanyuan Que picked up a piece of rabbit meat for her.

Ruoxuan ate it with a smile, and felt that the dishes picked by Lord Xuanyuan were the most delicious!

After Ruoxuan finished eating, she said, "I want to eat venison."

Xuanyuan Que picked up another piece of venison for her.

Then Ruoxuan didn't need to say anything. As long as Ruoxuan finished eating, Xuanyuan Que would pick up the dishes she wanted to eat with just a glance.

The two of them seemed to be in tune with each other.

Ruoxuan got her hands dirty while eating lamb skewers, so she stretched her hands directly in front of Xuanyuan Que.

Xuanyuan Que skillfully took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe it clean.

When Ruoxuan's mouth was dirty, the handkerchief was handed to her without her saying anything.

When Yan Jiaojiao saw that Ruoxuan was eating contentedly and was well taken care of, she suddenly realized that she was wrong.

Xuanbao was sitting next to him and Ruozhou, but she didn't receive such thoughtful care.

Of course, Ruozhou took good care of Xuanbao, but he lacked a little bit of empathy. He was not the kind who knew what to do without being told.

Yan Jiaojiao no longer stopped Xuanyuan Que and Ruoxuan from sitting together.

After dinner, while on the way, Yan Jiaojiao thought about how from childhood to adulthood, it was always Ruoxuan who pestered her ninth cousin, ordering him to do this and that, while her ninth cousin seldom took the initiative to look for Ruoxuan.

Did she think she had misunderstood?
In fact, it is usually Ruoxuan who takes the initiative to get close to her ninth cousin. If Xuanbao doesn't look for him, he will never take the initiative to look for Xuanbao.

They felt that Ninth Cousin was special to Xuanbao because he never rejected Xuanbao.

No one else can expect to receive such treatment from your ninth cousin. He won't even bother to say a word to you.

She couldn't help but ask Ruoxuan: "Xuanbao, has your ninth cousin ever done anything indecent to you?"

Ruoxuan: "No! You think too much! Brother Xuanyuan will never do anything intimate with me. Last time I kissed him, he got angry and ignored me!"

Yan Jiaojiao: "..."

Sure enough, she misunderstood!

"My ninth cousin is probably shy, otherwise he wouldn't give you the golden flower!"

Ruoxuan: "That was me threatening him. Didn't I kiss him? I told him to be responsible for me."

Yan Jiaojiao: "..."

Ok!

She really underestimated Xuanbao.

Strong!

He even dared to threaten my ninth cousin.

"However, this also proves that Ninth Cousin likes you, otherwise he wouldn't be threatened by you and give you golden flowers. Who can threaten someone who doesn't even take the emperor seriously?"

Ruoxuan's heart moved, that's right! Who can threaten the Nine Heavens God of War?
At night, they stayed at the inn, and this time Yan Jiaojiao did not sleep with Ruoxuan.

Ninth cousin is a pure-hearted person and would never do anything that Xuanbao does.

Ruoxuan finally slept alone, so she ran to find Xuanyuan Que.

She cast a barrier so no one could hear her talking.

Ruoxuan: "Brother Xuanyuan, Jiaojiao said that you gave me the golden flower because you like me, right?"

Xuanyuan Que glanced at her: "What do you think?"

Ruoxuan: “I think so!”

Xuanyuan Que said nothing more and closed his eyes to practice.

Ruoxuan: “…” No more talking!
"Brother Xuanyuan, do you like me?"

Xuanyuan Que did not answer.

"is not it?"

Xuanyuan Que felt a little helpless when being questioned, and without opening his eyes, he said calmly: "If you say so, then so. Go back and practice!"

Ruoxuan happily went back to her room to sleep and practice.

Xuanyuan Que opened his eyes only after there was no one in the room.

After a while, when his mood was calm, he closed his eyes and continued to practice.

A month later, the group finally arrived at a small border town in southern Xinjiang.

This small town is located at the border between the two countries, with the Nanjiang River as the boundary.

To the north of the river was the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and to the south of the river was the Nanling Kingdom.

Nanling Kingdom is a big country that has been established for nearly a hundred years. It is world-famous for its silk and porcelain. Its land is flat and fertile, and it is rich in resources. It also has the Maritime Silk Road. Its silk and porcelain are exported to many overseas countries, and it is rich enough to leak oil.

Today happens to be the day for trade between the two countries.

Horse-drawn carriages loaded with all kinds of goods and merchants carrying loads on their shoulders can be seen everywhere on the streets.

There is a constant stream of people and it is very lively!
This is a bustling city.

The Queen Mother and her entourage dressed up as ordinary people and walked on the street.

The Queen Mother explained to everyone: "The fourth, seventh, and tenth days of every month are days for trade between the two countries. On this day, people from both countries can take a boat to the neighboring city to do business."

This date was originally set by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was very familiar with the city, and she brought everyone to the dock.

The pier was built on a long embankment, which was full of horse-drawn carriages.

Many porters were carrying goods on and off the ship in an orderly manner.

The Queen Mother looked at the bustling trade, full of pride:
"Don't underestimate this small frontier town. This dock is the largest dock in Xuanyuan Country! Countless merchant ships sail out from here every day, selling our Xuanyuan Country's goods to neighboring countries and overseas."

"Look at the Nanling Kingdom's wharf across the way? Isn't it bigger than our Xuanyuan Kingdom's? Isn't the embankment as high as ours?"

Yan Jiaojiao nodded: "Indeed."

Queen Mother: "This dam was built by tens of thousands of people along the coast who came to help voluntarily every day without any wages. It took eight years to move mountains and fill the dam before it was reinforced and raised! It is hundreds of miles long and passes through two cities! Since the dam was built, the people in this area of ​​Xuanyuan Country have no longer suffered from floods. Unless there is a flood that happens once in a hundred years."

There are too many people from neighboring countries here, so the Queen Mother didn't say anything. Because the dam was built higher, the dam of the Nanling Kingdom opposite was one meter lower than theirs. If there was a flood, the flood would first pour into the Nanling Kingdom.

So their Xuanyuan country should be quite safe!

In the past, the Xuanyuan Kingdom did not build high dams. In the previous dynasty, officials in this area only cared about making money and did not do practical work. The court did not care about the lives of the people at all, so every year when there was a flood, it was their side that was flooded.

Before the Xuanyuan Kingdom was established, the late emperor had already started organizing people to build this dam.

The construction was not completed until five years after the founding of Xuanyuan State.

In the early days of the country, the treasury was particularly empty, and the Queen Mother insisted on allocating a large sum of money to ensure that the dam and dock could be built!

Now if you look at the commercial trade here, you will know how much silver is continuously fed back to the national treasury every year, allowing the court to have more silver to do more things that benefit the country and the people.

After listening to the Queen Mother's introduction, Mother Lei said: "It will benefit the present and future generations, and it is worth it to cultivate it for eight years!"

"That's right!" The Queen Mother replied with a smile as she watched a large ship bound for Nanling approaching the dock.

In the distance, after a large merchant ship from Nanling Kingdom docked, a man on board got off the ship and secretly stuffed something into the hands of the guards on the shore.

Then, the Queen Mother saw boxes of things being carried directly off the ship.

No soldiers went aboard to check the ship beforehand.

The Queen Mother's good mood was gone!
