It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 634 Peach Blossom Wine

Even though Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong felt sad about this matter, they thought that it had already been sealed with the imperial seal. Regardless of whether Liu Cong knew about it or not, the imperial edict had already been issued and it was set in stone and could not be changed.

What's more, they have to deal with a more difficult problem, that is, the soldiers left by Liu Yue cannot be dispersed and distributed everywhere. Even if Jin Zhun is scheming and making trouble behind the scenes, the combat effectiveness of this army cannot be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Liu Yao decided to go to the palace and talk to Liu Cong about this matter in person.

However, he now holds a sinecure and has no reason to enter the palace.

"That day I saw the peach blossoms in the yard were in full bloom, so Cui Xi and I picked some and made wine." After Yang Xianrong settled her eldest son, she changed into light clothes and returned to Liu Yao's study, placing an exquisite wine pot on his desk. "Would you like to try it? It's not strong liquor, and it has a sweet aroma."

Liu Yao liked to drink, especially strong liquor.

Even though Yang Xianrong had advised him several times that strong alcohol was harmful to the body, he didn't care. A man's boldness can only be revealed when he drinks one cup after another. After handing over the military power, he became even more indistinguishable from those soldiers and had several big drinks. When he came back drunk, Yang Xianrong refused to let him go to the room to sleep... After several times of trouble, he stopped drinking.

However, Liu Yao also understood that this was a trick played by Yang Xianrong to make him drink less.

He always felt sweet inside, but on the surface he had to put on a sullen face and act like a great general. He even prepared a separate bedroom, but never stayed in it. "My wife is so sweet and tender, who cares about all the wine and meat?"

Now seeing Yang Xianrong actually brought the wine over, he stood up and supported her, and his big hand gently touched her belly again. Although she was not pregnant yet, there was obviously a little bulge.

Yang Xianrong snorted and pushed his hand away. "If he wasn't there, I would have tried the peach wine. Now I dare not drink it at all."

"Hehe, wait until your son comes out, then you can drink. I'll drink with you." Liu Yao smiled happily. After all, his eldest son was only one year old and his second son was about to come. All the credit went to his hard work day and night.

Think about the two brothers of the Yang family. So far, only Cui Xi has a daughter. Even if he was a step late, he was still several steps ahead of them in this matter. He felt really good!

"Humph."

Yang Xianrong's coquettish voice really made Liu Yao's tender feelings surge. He held her in his arms, smelled the sweet fragrance of her neck, and whispered, "Can peach blossom wine be as sweet as you?"

"Be serious." Yang Xianrong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I came to talk to you about something."

"Oh." Liu Yao couldn't help but kiss her fair neck again.

"Liu Yao!" Yang Xianrong pushed him away with some force, her voice even louder, "Drink!"

"Oh." Seeing that she was annoyed, Liu Yao laughed but still did not let go of his hand. He just held her waist and let her sit on his lap. With his other hand, he picked up the bottle of peach wine and poured it into his mouth. As expected, it was sweet and fragrant, and a little cold.

"Although this is peach blossom wine, why is it a little different?" Liu Yao really likes drinking. He drank up all the wine in the jug as soon as he opened his mouth and smacked it a few times to taste it.

"Actually, I added some honey." Yang Xianrong gently wiped the corner of his mouth. "When I went to the restaurant with you to eat that day, I saw a waiter carrying some ice cubes into the kitchen. He meant to use ice water to cool the mutton to make it more delicious. So I remembered that I talked about winemaking with Uncle Mao Hongbin before. He said that if there were ice cubes to cool the wine, it would also be very delicious."

"That's true." Liu Yao nodded. "When I was very young, I lived in northern Xinjiang for a while. The nights there were so cold that the ground was covered with ice and snow, but during the day, especially at lunch time, it was so hot that we had to go shirtless. So, at that time, we threw the fruits into the well water to cool them down, and then took them out during the day... It should be the same principle."

"Did you like eating and drinking so much back then?" Yang Xianrong stroked his face with her slender fingers, tracing it carefully, and for a moment she was a little dazed. This man became more mature and majestic, like a tiger king in the mountains, and he had a sense of majesty even when he was sitting there.

When I saw him that year, I was filled with joy.

"When I was a kid, I didn't have enough to eat. I didn't know why, but I always felt hungry. In fact, even now, I can eat a whole sheep."

The double meaning of this sentence made Yang Xianrong blush.

The two of them were affectionate for a while, and Liu Yao still held back and said with a smile: "If this continues, let's go to sleep and don't say anything."

"Do you feel hot all over? You just drank some cold wine, but now you feel hot all over again?" Yang Xianrong touched his ear, which was not only hot, but even red.

"How can it not be hot?" Liu Yao kissed her hand maliciously again, "It's really too hot."

"Hey." Yang Xianrong had no choice but to push him again, frowning, "I mean, it's Yang Xianlian's birthday in a few days... It doesn't matter. After so many years, it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to say that I made some delicious food and you just want to go to the palace to drink with Liu Cong."

Liu Yao immediately understood what Yang Xianrong meant, nodded, and said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, Third Sister."

"I just don't want to see the hard work of General Liu Yue and General Li go to waste. What's more, she is my sister-in-law now, so I have to help her." Yang Xianrong sighed softly, "In fact, I am also thinking about my eldest brother. How can the men of the Yang family always sit idle in the backyard? The eldest and second brothers are both talented generals, and their talents should not be buried."

"But, once we are on the battlefield, swords and guns are indiscriminate. What if something really happens, what should we do?" Liu Yao was very surprised by Yang Xianrong's statement. She had always asked her family to avoid disaster before, so why did she change her mind now?
"That can only be fate." Yang Xianrong just sighed, "Now that I follow you, I am also a Han Chinese. Naturally, all my brothers follow me. But, if the Han Chinese no longer exist, what should we do? If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?"

"It's really hard to say in this situation. If Jin Zhun's power grows, there will definitely be big problems." Liu Yao lowered his voice a lot, "But every time I enter the palace, Jin Zhun is always by my side, which is really annoying."

"It's okay. There are ways to get him busy with other things." Yang Xianrong smiled very beautifully, which distracted Liu Yao so that he only focused on the pink complexion on her face.
