It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 691 Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings

Time passed quickly. According to the advice of Xiao Yi, the Guanglu Doctor, Liu Yao decided to join forces with Shi Le to move southward, posing some threats to the Eastern Jin Dynasty established by Sima Rui, and also let his generals feel the military deterrence from the northwest. More importantly, the weather was cold, and they still needed to go south to grab some food and supplies, so that they could successfully survive the winter and sow seeds in the spring of next year.

This time, Liu Yao was going to lead the army himself.

Even if Yang Xianrong was extremely reluctant, she could only do as he wished.

However, she did not cry, but hurriedly made him several new clothes and boots, and even made a lot of food such as naan. But what Liu Yao cherished most was the fermented glutinous rice wine she made, which could be transformed into a sweet and strong liquor. Drinking it always reminded people of the charm and sweetness of this woman.

"In fact, you don't have to do so many things." Liu Yao looked at the busy and pretty figure, and couldn't help but pull her into his arms, kissed her soft little face, and said with a smile: "Why do you still look so young, but I am much older."

"That's because the emperor has too many things to worry about." Yang Xianrong responded with a big smile, and the maids who were still busy around him had quietly retreated. Usually at this moment, you should "do not look at anything inappropriate."

Liu Yao's big hands were not very honest either. He touched Yang Xianrong's body before continuing, "I wanted to take you with me."

"Why?" Yang Xianrong's forehead was covered with sweat, and he slightly twisted his body. "It's too cold. I don't want to go."

"I feel cold too, so I want you to warm my bed." Liu Yao is becoming more and more sweet-mouthed now, often saying things that make Yang Xianrong blush, but only the two of them know the sweet words between husband and wife.

"You... are so mean." Yang Xianrong gently patted his chest, "Don't make a fuss. It won't be good if the children see it."

"Nothing, I have sent them all to Xu Henian to learn magic."

"Magic spells?" Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment. "Senior Brother Xu said that these cannot be taught casually. They all have their own particularities. Moreover, they are very difficult. I'm afraid they won't be able to learn them at their age."

"Well, it's because we can't learn it. It's because it's difficult that we have to spend time to learn it." Liu Yao sniffed the crook of Yang Xianrong's neck and smiled with satisfaction. "This way, they are very busy, so we have more time to talk."

"You..." Yang Xianrong didn't know what to say. This man was becoming more and more clingy.

"In fact, there shouldn't be any war to fight this time. I just want to meet with Shi Le and find out each other's background. After all, he is very powerful now. If he becomes stronger and bigger, he will be a threat to us. At the beginning, my father was able to suppress him, but now... I think it's a bit difficult."

"The world is torn apart. The first thing to do is to protect ourselves, especially in a winter like this. We still need to preserve our strength." Yang Xianrong thought for a while, "Senior Brother Xu said that there should be more rain in the north this winter, which will be beneficial for spring farming next year. So, you should go and come back quickly this time and calculate the land issue carefully."

"Yeah." Liu Yao nodded. He liked talking to Yang Xianrong about these things because she was more meticulous and could always help him improve a lot of content. Moreover, even when they had different opinions, she would not argue with him, but slowly communicate with him and straighten out his thoughts. Every time such a process took place, he would have more ideas to improve.

"Third sister, please come with me this time." "...What should I do?" Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment, "Although I have never met Shi Le, I don't want to see him at all."

"He...actually he looks a bit like me." Liu Yao laughed, "Both are bearded men."

"You!" Yang Xianrong pushed him, "There are still many things to do in the palace. You know, it's the New Year, and we have to prepare now. I'm also thinking of putting away the gold and silver wares in the bedroom. They really look too shiny. Or, how about replacing them with some porcelain? And put some scrolls in there to make it look more elegant. Those followers of yours are really enough. They almost burned the scrolls as firewood that day. I was really scared."

"That group of people are uneducated and illiterate." Liu Yao laughed happily again, "There's nothing we can do about it, they're all stinky men."

"Never mind, I'm going to do something to give the palace some new look." Yang Xianrong wiped her face, "Go and see if there's anything else you need to take, don't forget anything."

"It's enough to take you with me." Liu Yao refused to let go of her hand. He held her tightly in his arms and was gentle with her.

Yang Xianrong had no choice but to pack a few clothes in a hurry the next day and made an appointment with Liu Yao to travel together. She originally wanted Cuixi to stay and take care of the children, but Cuixi refused and insisted on following her.

Therefore, she had no choice but to tell the children to listen to Zhang Du and Da Xi and not to cause trouble in the palace. Xu Henian and Yang Xiankang also stayed behind, which made her feel relieved.

In the evening, she went to the small house where Xu Henian lived to talk.

She originally wanted Xu Henian to have a small palace all to herself, which was acceptable given his status. However, Xu Henian refused, saying that he wanted to have a small room just like Master Xu had in Sima Yan's palace.

"My master asked me to protect you back then. Later, in order not to implicate me, you insisted that I return to Mount Zhongnan. I was indeed shaken. But after living in seclusion and practicing in Mount Zhongnan for so many years, I still couldn't let you go. So, I decided to come down the mountain and be with you." Xu Henian's eyes were shining, "My master said, follow your heart."

"Okay, then I won't say anything." Yang Xianrong touched the teapot on the table, which was already cold. "I'm going to go out with the emperor for a while, can you help me take care of these children and take a good look at their personalities? I was thinking that even if the emperor didn't say anything, maybe he would secretly appoint a crown prince."

"Yes, I will." Xu Henian nodded.

"Or, why don't you tell their fortunes as well?" Yang Xianrong laughed, "And Yang Ruoxi, this child is growing up and is so beautiful, so she should arrange for a husband as soon as possible."

"In fact, I have already calculated the fate of these children." Xu Henian also smiled, "They are all destined to be rich and powerful, don't worry. Ruoxi has a good fate, she is rich and powerful."

"That's good." Yang Xianrong smiled.

"Don't you ask yourself?" Xu Henian suddenly asked.
