The next morning, the warm sun was hanging high and the sun was shining brightly. In the back garden, among the flowers, and above the clear pond, Yuan Xi and Zhen Mi were sitting in the pavilion with willows blowing. Hongxiu, Hexiang, and two other concubines who had just been taken away were sitting aside. Wen Chou's return made Yuan Xi feel very happy. Once he pulled all his women out to gather, he saw that they were either beautiful or pretty, beautiful or elegant, smart or cute, or pity-provoking, and it was so beautiful that they could be beautiful at first glance.

Of course, the most beautiful thing is Zhen Mi sitting opposite Yuan Xi. She was wearing a red outfit today, with her skin as white as cream, smooth as crisp, pure and lovely as beautiful as a fairy, gentle as water, and noble.

After the two of them played about half a stick of incense, Hongxiu looked at Yuan Xi frowned and covered her mouth and laughed. "Husband, you seem to have no chess."

"It's my sister who is too good at chess skills." He Xiang, whose temperament is completely different from when she was a maid, said respectfully to Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Xi with a frown and said, "Husband, why don't you start a new plate?"

"Come on, it's just an accident, I will definitely win." After hearing this, Yuan Xi didn't believe it.

However, after three consecutive plates, Yuan Xi fell head-on on the chessboard, as if he was ashamed to see the world.

Seeing this scene, the girls immediately burst into laughter.

Yuan Xi slowly raised his head and looked at the happy girls. A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. In addition to pacifying the world, men also wanted to make their women happy.

"Would you like to come again, husband?" Zhen Mi asked in a blink of an eye.

"Don't" Yuan Xi quickly reached out and smiled bitterly: "Mi'er's chess skills are superb, and she can't win for her husband."

"No, my husband is very wise and ambitious, so he will naturally not work hard on these paths anymore." Zhen Mi shook her head and gave Yuan Xi a step.

"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled loudly, put down the chess piece and asked with concern: "Mi'er, the day after tomorrow is my father's birthday. How are the birthday gifts prepared?"

"It's all ready." Zhen Mi immediately signaled to the maid beside her. The maid nodded, gave a bow, and slowly retreated.

After a while, the three maids walked over with trays in their hands, and saw a crystal clear, snow-white jade Buddha, a large red coral, and a fist-sized night pearl, all of which were amazing treasures.

"These three birthday gifts were all searched by my uncle. Each one can be a rare treasure in the world, especially this red coral. I heard that it was searched by fishermen from Qingzhou in the sea. It is rare to see it in a century!" Zhen Mi said with a smile.

Yuan Xi glanced at the jade Buddha in the middle and said, "Let's choose this as a birthday gift! Send the others back to Zhen Mansion."

Zhen Mi was shocked and hurriedly said, "Husband, although this white jade Buddha is good, it is indeed worse than the other two. I heard that the birthday gifts of the third brother and the eldest brother are extraordinary, so why not give them together!"

Yuan Xi smiled, "It's because they are carefully preparing that I can't steal the limelight. This Jade Buddha represents peace and is the most suitable."

Zhen Mi frowned, knowing that Yuan Xi was keeping a low profile and gently asked the maids to retreat, she said seriously: "Husband, I have something to say to you."

Yuan Xi was stunned and said to Hexiang's four girls: "You guys go down first."

"No!" The four girls immediately bowed to Yuan Xi, Zhen Mi and slowly retreated.

"Mi'er, why is it so serious?" Yuan Xi took Zhen Mi's little hand and sat aside.

"Husband, I still won't go on my birthday. Although I don't know what my father thinks, it's better not to show up, so there's nothing to do," Zhen Mi asked expectantly.

Yuan Xi frowned and then smiled and said, "Hasn't this been discussed? Mi'er doesn't have to do this at all. For her husband, she will take you away now, and no one can stop her."

"But!" Zhen Mi was a little worried.

"Don't, this matter is settled." Although Yuan Xi's tone was gentle, his eyes were indeed very firm.

Seeing this scene, Zhen Mi couldn't help but sigh and felt a little worried.

At about noon, when Yuan Xi was reviewing some memorials from the camp in his study, Li Ru suddenly appeared here in Zhen Mi's bedroom, looking at the ground with a hint of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Liang, although I don't know your origin, I can clearly feel the trust you have in you. It is unprecedented. I also believe that Mr. Xu is a great talent. There is one thing I hope Mr. Xu can help me analyze it," Zhen Mi said with anticipation.

Li Ru's eyes froze, but he still lowered his head. This is the rule. The young master's wife and concubines cannot be seen at will. He asked, "What's wrong with Madam, just say it."

"Mr. Liang, raise your head," Zhen Mi said suddenly.

After hesitating for a while, Li Ru raised her slightly and glanced at her, and her pupils suddenly shrank. What a beautiful woman, she could be compared with Diao Chan's back then.

"Mr. Liang, let me tell you a story." At this time, Zhen Mi slowly stood up and sighed with an expression of her queen's fate and her marriage to Yuan Xi.

A few minutes later, Li Ru finally understood and nodded in understanding, and smiled and said, "So that's the case. The wife's appearance is indeed rare in the world, and even compared to the ancient Xishi, it is definitely possible. Gong Yuan had this idea back then, but Liang thought that the wife and the young master might have been worried too much. Since Liang's understanding of Gong Yuan during this period, he was definitely a good father. Maybe after his wife married the young master, Gong Yuan had already dispelled this idea, otherwise he would not have enthroned the young master as the governor of Youzhou and took control of the side alone."

"Then why did my father marry me to my husband?" Zhen Mi said in confusion. Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan had not married either back then!

A trace of wisdom flashed in Li Ru's eyes, "Madam, this is Mr. Yuan's wisdom and the helplessness of the young master. Haven't you seen it yet? Although Mr. Yuan was amazed by his wife's beauty and had the so-called queen's destiny, as the saying goes, scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial, the wife is still just a businessman in Yuan Gong's heart, and has a low status. The eldest son and the third son are his planned candidates for the prince, so he did not want the two sons to compete for the wife, and the second was to choose the daughter of the aristocratic family for them. At present, the eldest son's wife is the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, and the fiancée of the third son is the legitimate daughter of the Hu family. These two families are all masters of the aristocratic family and have extraordinary status."

Zhen Mi was shocked and suddenly woke up. It turned out that this was the case, and a little shame appeared on her face.

"As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, I am indeed a little aggrieved to take me as the daughter of a businessman. I am arrogant," Zhen Mi's eyes showed a hint of sadness.

"Madam, don't say that. The young master is deeply in love with you. Although Liang and the young master have only been together for a while, they can clearly feel that the young master has never cared about these things, especially the gentry. Now they are useful to the young master. But once the young master unified the world, pacified all the princes, swept the land of foreign races, and carried millions of armor under his command, these gentry members with higher hearts will be completely eliminated one by one. There can only be one voice in the world, then the young master, there is no one else besides this." A hint of fanaticism flashed across Li Ru's face. Before he knew it, he had completely returned to Yuan Xi.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Zhen Mi's face, and then he bowed deeply to Li Ru, "I hope that Mr. will help my husband more in the future. If there is any place to help, Zhen Mi will do her best."

"Madam, you are polite." Li Ru quickly returned the gust and said with a smile: "Madam, you should muster up the courage, because you are not alone, and behind you is the young master. The young master is warm and domineering outside and his power is far from this on the surface. Liang can say a big word. If the young master is really angry, the whole Yecheng will be shocked."

Zhen Mi's pupils shrank, a smile gradually appeared on her lips, and she had a proud expression on her face, and she felt completely relaxed.
