I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 110

If you want hot pot to be delicious, you have to work hard on the soup base and the mixing bowl.

Gu Yuanbai asked people to add the simplest spices. There were no chili peppers at this time, so he took the star anise, green onions, ginger shreds and peppercorns and put them in the iron pot. He then used vinegar as the base, which mixed with a slight fragrance. Spicy and sour vinegar, sprinkle some green onions, green and dark water, and it’s done.

Gu Yuanbai couldn’t eat anything that would irritate his stomach. The spiciness in the hot pot was just to enhance the flavor. The ingredient was tomato, so there was very little or even no spiciness in the dipping sauce. The dipping sauce in front of Xue Yuan had a stronger taste. It happened that there was no wind at this time, so the hot pot was placed in the yard, which gave it a unique flavor.

After Xue Yuan took a few bites, sweat started to break out on his head. He could wrap up all the dishes on the table, and he said heartily: “Cheer!”

This dipping sauce is really good and appetizing, and you won’t be able to stop eating it even after you’re full. Gu Yuanbai’s self-control was pretty good, and he put down his chopsticks when he was eighty full. As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Xue Yuan, who was sweating profusely across from him, looked up at him and said, “Don’t want to eat?”

“I’m full.” Gu Yuanbai took a sip of hot water.

Xue Yuan stretched out his hand, took away his dipping sauce, and threw all the meat on the table into the pot. He really only liked meat and not vegetables. Gu Yuanbai deliberately asked, “Why doesn’t Xue Qing eat vegetables?”

Xue Yuan sighed, then turned his chopsticks and picked out a vegetable leaf.

He adapted well to the taste of tomato pot and preferred meat dishes with tomato flavor to clear soup. After the two of them ate for a while, the aroma of the boiling hot pot filled the entire courtyard. The people waiting here secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva from time to time, and the greedy ones ran out of the food. Gu Yuanbai looked at everyone’s expressions and turned his head and told Tian Fusheng: “I will rest in a while, and you can take them to have a good meal. Use the leftover ingredients from before, and there is no need to wait close by.”

Tian Fusheng and others were delighted and thanked him: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward.”

“This iron pot from the Holy Spirit is interesting.”

Gu Yuanbai nodded and ordered more soup in the pot, “But this soup is unique.”

“I am also blessed by the Holy One,” Xue Yuan kept talking and talking, “Speaking of iron pots, My Holy One, you must not trade ironware with the nomads during the border trade.”

Of course we cannot forget this. Daheng merchants are not allowed to sell any iron objects to nomads, even kitchen knives, and they are only allowed to exchange old kitchen knives for new ones.

Gu Yuanbai had already told General Xue these details one by one when he was moving forward. At this time, he was calm and calm: “This is how it should be.”

Xue Yuan glanced at him and smiled: “It seems that Chen Bai said something.”

Gu Yuanbai smiled and said nothing.

After the meal, Xue Yuan walked around with Gu Yuanbai to eat. Suddenly he saw a shivering winter jasmine growing in the corner of the railing by the lake. Xue Yuan’s eyes moved and he stepped forward to pick it.

The corner of Gu Yuanbai’s eyes inadvertently slid over the feet of Xue Yuan’s robe, and the patterns on the robe shed a stream of light from top to bottom as he bent down. The Holy Master withdrew his eyes and said casually: “Xue Qing, are you not letting go of the wild flowers on the roadside?”

Xue Yuan didn’t understand his joke, so he reached out and handed over the bright yellow Yingchun, “Your Majesty, I think this color is good. It is the only good scene in late winter. Does your Majesty like it?”

“I think you like it very much. Since you think it’s good, Xue Qing will make some goose-yellow clothes to wear.” Gu Yuanbai ignored his flirtatious tactics, “I will wear them every day, even if I go to the battlefield. Color is also catchy.”

Xue Yuan’s eyelids twitched, and he quietly threw the winter jasmine flowers into the lake, “I suddenly felt ugly again.”

After returning from digestion, Gu Yuanbai went back to his room and lay down reading. He was reading a book of Chinese novels. Xue Yuan was carving wood on the side. He looked up at Gu Yuanbai from time to time, then lowered his head to get busy. Gu Yuanbai turned over a page of the book and asked casually: “Xue Jiuyao, have you read the books in your room?”

Xue Jiuyao said frankly, “I haven’t read a word of it.”

Gu Yuanbai thought that it was true, he was not surprised. He read two more lines of words under the light, and then said slowly: “There are so many books lying there without reading them. It is really quite bluffing. When Chang Yuyan told me, I marvel at the books in your room and think you are a talented person.”

Xue Yuan seemed to have heard some joke, “Does he think I am familiar with everything?”

“Even if you are not familiar with it, you still have a basic understanding of it,” Gu Yuanbai. “I really think you are a talented person and full of poetry.”

“There’s nothing missing,” Xue Yuan blew the sawdust and said matter-of-factly, “The books I spent money on and put here are naturally my things. They are all my things, and the things inside them are also my things.”

The Holy Emperor was noncommittal and didn’t say anything, but after a while, he said softly: “Rough man.”

Xue Yuan smiled and thought, this is called rough?

Gu Yuanbai finished flipping through a book and already felt sleepy. Xue Yuan looked at his appearance and stood up to say goodbye. Tian Fusheng stepped forward to serve the Holy Emperor after he left. He had washed away the smell of hot pot all over his body. In order to avoid clashing with the Holy Lord, he did not eat anything pungent that would leave a taste in his mouth. The old eunuch was very handy, and the two young eunuchs He was busy arranging the bedding on the side.

Gu Yuanbai was busy with others. When he raised his head from the book, he saw the look of the captain of the guard who was hesitant to speak.

He raised his eyebrows and said, “Zhang Xu, come here and talk to me.”

A eunuch was standing at the head of the bed combing His Majesty’s hair. Every time the rounded wood was combed over his scalp, it felt so comfortable that his brain was relieved of its fatigue. After the head guard walked to the bed, the Holy Master had closed his eyes, leaving only a piece of black hair flowing through the little eunuch’s hands like silk.

The captain of the guard was speechless again, and the Holy Master said lazily: “If you have something in your heart, just say it.”

“Your Majesty,” the captain of the guard finally said, “Master Xue…” He choked out a sentence in a useless tone, “Has he really not read a book?”

Gu Yuanbai chuckled, “If he said he didn’t read it, then he didn’t read it. Otherwise, given Xue Jiuyao’s personality, when I asked him, he would have already taken the initiative to show off to me.”

The captain of the guard is a good man.

He had some intuitive doubts at first, but the words came to his lips but he couldn’t say them out. What if everything was just a misunderstanding on his part? If Mr. Xue is really loyal to the Holy One, wouldn’t he push Mr. Xue into a pit of fire by saying this?

Even Lord Chu couldn’t tell the Lord clearly because he had no evidence. How could he treat Lord Xue like this just because of a small suspicion?

The captain of the guard blamed himself, “I have nothing else to say. Your Majesty, I have no doubts in my heart.”

Gu Yuanbai said: “Then retreat.”

The candlelight in the room was extinguished one by one, and everyone retreated outside to keep watch.

*

Gu Yuanbai subconsciously reminded himself to be on guard against Xue Yuan’s seduction, so when there was a slight movement in the room, he woke up and maintained long breathing to feel the actions around him.

Soon, someone approached the bed.

Gu Yuanbai concentrated and held his breath. After a moment, his ears felt hot. Someone whispered hot breath into his ear, “Your Majesty?”

It’s Xue Yuan.

It was so late and he was so sneaky, he would never do anything aboveboard.

Gu Yuanbai didn’t move. Xue Yuan called him in his ear for a while. The voice got lower and lower, and got closer and closer. Finally, his lips even touched his ear beads, and then with a swish, the ear beads disappeared. A numbness spread throughout his body, like an electric shock.

Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but curl up his fingers, but he was afraid of disturbing the situation and tried to remain calm.

Xue Yuan seemed to notice that Gu Yuanbai was not asleep, but he didn’t seem to notice it. He laughed softly a few times, and his laughter made his ears feel warm. Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, why is he laughing?

Are you laughing at me?

Before the dissatisfaction in his heart could emerge, Xue Yuan gently bit his earlobe. Because his skin was delicate, he did not dare to use force. He finally sucked hard several times reluctantly. When he let go, the earlobe was already congested and swollen. It was as if blood was about to burst out.

“Your Majesty,” Xue Yuan smiled steadily, and then asked teasingly, “What do you think?”

Gu Yuanbai tried his best to keep breathing. In the darkness, his long breaths rose and fell together. He was sure that Xue Yuan did not know that he was awake. It was just an earlobe, just an earlobe. Why did Gu Yuanbai tense up his legs?

Both expecting and sullen, His Majesty the Emperor almost doubted himself.

But as soon as Xue Yuan’s words came out, Gu Yuanbai couldn’t help but replied in his heart: It’s comfortable, very comfortable.

keep going?

Xue Yuan seemed to have heard what Gu Yuanbai was thinking. He kissed Gu Yuanbai’s ear again. His voice was so low that it made butterflies flutter their wings. Tease me.”

Gu Yuanbai sneered and thought to himself, “Xue Yuan, who is so bold and lustful, what time are you talking about?”

He thought about it and suddenly remembered, oh, yes. At dinner time, he was sweating a little and felt that long hair was troublesome, so he hooked his hair from his temples behind his ears and took out a piece of beef from the pot.

At that time, Xue Yuan seemed to be choked. Could it be that he was choked because he touched his hair?

Make a fortune.

Gu Yuanbai wanted to laugh loudly, but he endured it before the laughter came out. Because he remembered the hot spring when Xue Yuan returned to Beijing after a long trip, and the taste of Xue Yuan’s delicate kisses on his face and neck, he relaxed his body and felt that it would be okay if he pretended not to know how to be served and enjoyed for a while. good.

Is this considered prostitution?

Doesn’t count.

But even if he calculated it, he, Gu Yuanbai, had gone to whoring. In the middle of the night, Xue Yuan was sneaking around alone with a guilty conscience. Who could have known?

Gu Yuanbai was half distracted.

Just as he thought this, Xue Yuan leaned over and sucked a mark behind Gu Yuanbai’s ear. His strength was neither heavy nor light, but it was very nerve-wracking and caused an itch that couldn’t be scratched. And his hands – Xue Yuan’s hands were placed neatly beside the bed. Except for the lips that kept kissing Gu Yuanbai’s ears, he seemed to be a gentleman with deep education, even when he came to He didn’t even touch his bedside at all.

Gu Yuanbai thought that he only dared to linger next to his ear, so he no longer suppressed it. He clenched the sheets with his well-jointed fingers, and poured out the numbness and itching all over his body on the mattress.

The wheezing in his ears gradually worsened, and Xue Yuan’s hand suddenly stretched out to hold Gu Yuanbai’s hand, inserting forcefully from his fingers. Gu Yuanbai thought he saw something, but he was suddenly startled and his eyelids twitched.

Who would have thought that Xue Yuan’s breathing was just getting faster and faster. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly clenched Gu Yuanbai’s fingers and groaned. After a moment, Xue Yuan’s breathing gradually calmed down, his strong fingers loosened, and the quilt was tucked in front of him. Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, intermission?

Just hearing another slight noise from the window, the movement in the room completely quieted down, and Xue Yuan left.

Gu Yuanbai’s fingers still had the sour feeling from being forcibly inserted by thicker fingers. The expression on his face changed. He opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the window and gritted his teeth: “Xue Jiuyao——”

What the hell did you learn?

In the middle of the night, you climbed in through the window, and then you pretended to be innocent for me?
