It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 706: Warm Talks at Night

When Liu Yao finished talking to the ministers and returned to the bedroom, it was already midnight. He wondered whether he should go to the study to sleep for the night, fearing that he would disturb Yang Xianrong's rest.

But he was still worried, so he stood at the door of the bedroom and planned to look around before making a decision.

But I didn't expect that this place would be brightly lit and crowded with people.

Listening to the sound, it sounds like the sound of stringed instruments.

His mind moved, and he immediately strode in.

The charcoal fire in the bedroom was burning very vigorously. Yang Xianrong sat up, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand, and was smiling at Yang Ruoxi who was standing in the center. The little girl was wearing a very beautiful gauze skirt. She was still a child, and her figure could not support such a dress, but it was obvious that she was dancing the Jinghong Dance. However, many of the movements were not in place, and she forgot a lot... When she saw Liu Yao walking in with a cold wind, she immediately refused to dance anymore.

Liu Cheng, who was playing the shakuhachi at the side, also stopped immediately, stood with his head bowed, and called out, "Father."

Everyone in the bedroom then looked at Liu Yao and stood up to salute.

Liu Yao just nodded, and walked straight to Yang Xianrong who was sitting on the bed. He took the hot porridge from her hand, drank a sip, and asked, "What happened? You're dancing in the middle of the night?"

"Ruoxi wanted to learn this stunning dance, and she practiced it secretly for a long time, but she still couldn't get it right. Now that we are back, she is pestering us to learn it." Yang Xianrong laughed, and seeing that she was in high spirits, Liu Yao felt relieved. He touched her face with his big hand, and then said, "Don't be too tired. What did Bian Heng say? Do you need to take some medicine?"

"You, the children are here." Yang Xianrong grabbed his hand, refusing to let him show such intimacy to others.

As a result, Liu Yao immediately said: "Don't look at anything inappropriate, all of you go down."

"Hey..." Yang Xianrong quickly stopped them. The children were all laughing and no one moved.

Yang Ruoxi was at an age where she didn't quite understand what was going on. She looked at the two people and turned their heads away embarrassedly. However, she met Liu Cheng's eyes again and couldn't help but laugh.

"It's okay, let them talk here." Yang Xianrong's softness was the best way to control Liu Yao, so he could only nod in agreement. Of course, he also saw Xu Henian and Yang Xiankang sitting next to him. The two of them obviously didn't look at him and were still mumbling something.

"My second brother brought a lot of food, all of which I like. I'll let him stay for a while so we can talk. By the way, let Cui Xi go home first, okay?" Yang Xianrong smiled and touched his hand, "Everyone has worked hard along the way."

"Okay, all up to you." Liu Yao naturally had no objection.

"Is there any problem ahead? Is everything going well?" Yang Xianrong asked Liu Yao softly, while at the same time signaling Cui Xi to take the children to bed, as it was indeed too late.

The two sons were still reluctant, so Zhang Du and Da Xi had no choice but to carry them out of the bedroom. Yang Ruoxi also refused to leave, snuggling up to her mother Cui Xi, looking at Yang Xianrong eagerly.

Liu Cheng also put down the shakuhachi, bent over and knelt down beside him.

"Nothing much, nothing more than that." Liu Yao was also tired, "Anyway, there are too many things to do, let's deal with them one by one."

"Where is Lord Xiao?" Yang Xianrong suddenly asked, "Didn't he come today?"

"He said he caught a cold and is lying at home." Liu Yao's face looked even worse. "You've been so kind to him, and you've always asked about his health. Look, he didn't even come to the palace to see me today..."

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Yang Xianrong touched his big hand, "It's hard to win people's hearts, and you can't win them over with just one blow of the dragon's whiskers."

"So?" Liu Yao's eyes lit up. "So, take your time." Yang Xianrong comforted him, "This person is calm and steady, and he is your best helper."

"Your Majesty, Senior Brother Xu and I are working on this matter. Please wait a moment." Yang Xiankang stood up and walked over. However, he was heading towards his wife and daughter. "Can I take them home today? You are the one who takes care of my third sister every day, but I have not been with my Cui Xi for even a single day. It's not fair!"

There was some coquettishness in his voice, which made Yang Xianrong laugh out loud and Cui Xi blushed.

Liu Yao was quite serious and said with a straight face: "Then let Yang Ruoxi take the place of mother and stay by her aunt's side today."

"Sure, sure." Yang Ruoxi was eager to stay with Yang Xianrong and was very happy. "I want to sleep with my aunt."

"That won't do!" Liu Yao frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, I want to hear my aunt tell stories." Yang Ruoxi and Yang Xianrong look very similar, both have a pair of big eyes with distinct black and white, and are extremely smart.

"That won't work either." Liu Yao was still very persistent. Liu Cheng, who was kneeling beside him, had quietly moved over and pulled Yang Ruoxi and said, "Sister, I brought some delicious food. Can you come with me to eat later?"

"What is it?" Yang Ruoxi loves to eat, so her attention was immediately drawn to it.

"Hey, let's eat later. Let's make things clear first." Yang Xianrong interrupted, and Liu Cheng had to pout and kneel down obediently.

"What happened? What did you do?" Liu Yao looked at these people, and finally looked at Yang Xianrong. He knew that all this must be Yang Xianrong's doing. She was too smart, and she could always see and do something different, but she could always help him.

He cherished her so much that he wanted to keep her by his side all the time.

"Your Majesty, don't ask. There must be something wrong." Yang Xianrong smiled, so brightly that Liu Yao's heart was moved again.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. But we still need to rest now. Whatever comes up, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Okay." Yang Xianrong responded, and then said to Xu Henian, "Senior Brother Xu, please go and tell Lord Mao tomorrow. I'm available anytime."

"Okay." Xu Henian nodded. "I'll go back first. Doctor Bian Heng's medicine can be taken, but he is not a midwife after all. It is better for Manager Mao to find some reliable people."

"Okay, I've got that." Yang Xianrong also nodded.

Then everyone slowly left the bedroom and went back.

Naturally, Yang Ruoxi would not stand guard at the door of the bedroom. She smiled and ran out with Liu Cheng to eat. Since they were all in the palace anyway, Zhang Du and Daxi were also watching them, so Yang Xianrong followed them.

After Liu Yao washed up, he lay flat on the bed and suddenly asked her, "Is it okay if Ruoxi marries Liu Cheng?"

"Why?" Yang Xianrong was stunned.

"Do you feel... Ruoxi has been wronged?" Liu Yao hesitated.

"That's not the case. I just want Ruoxi to find someone she likes and treat her well for the rest of her life. Just like you." Yang Xianrong approached Liu Yao, "With fewer setbacks, life will be happier."
