Chapter 699 - Tired at Hear
However, Han Xiaomu ate the fragrant, tender, and fatty barbecued meat as she asked, "The spice blends you used must have been made by Younger Sister Xiaocao. This type of taste and flavor can only be created by an expert like her."
Zhu Junxi growled, "Younger Sister Xiaocao, Younger Sister Xiaocao! Every day you only talk about her. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that she would be the one living with you for the rest of your life ah!"
Han Xiaomu chuckled, "If I were a man, I would definitely snatch Younger Sister Xiaocao over!"
The thick scent of jealousy congealed around Zhu Junxi as he sourly remarked, "If you were a man, then what would I do? Also, are you sure you can defeat my younger brother? When he loses control of himself, you will end up losing your life!"
"Don't I have you to protect me ah?" Han Xiaomu sliced off another plate of roasted mutton leg and began to eat it with great relish!
"So now you think of me? If you were a man, I wouldn't care if you died!" Zhu Junxi lamented angrily.
Han Xiaomu continued to simple mindedly eat her barbecued meat as she casually remarked, "What are you angry for ah? Are all men this petty and narrow-minded? Or is it just the people in your Zhu Family who are this way? Your younger brother is the same. I only spoke a few extra words to Younger Sister Xiaocao yet he glared at me so fiercely! His eyes are more beautiful than most women's so who would be afraid of him?"
"My little ancestor, please don't say anymore ah!" What was she blabbering on about, saying that his Zhu Family were all petty and narrow-minded? One couldn't forget that the most noble person in the empire was also surnamed Zhu! Furthermore, saying out loud that his younger brother was more beautiful than a woman was something that was forbidden and taboo for his younger brother. If that fellow overheard her, then no one would be able to save this woman who liked to cause trouble!
"General Zhu, General Mu, there's a youth named Zhu Junyang who wants to see you both..." One of the soldiers assigned at guarding the barracks came over to bring a message. The young soldier was currently wondering, 'Zhu Junyang, Zhu Junxi, the names only differ by one character. Could this guy possibly be General Zhu's brother? However, the two of them don't look alike at all. If it weren't for the fact that the young man had a tall and sturdy figure, I would have thought that it was General Zhu's younger sister dressing up in man's clothing to find her older brother!'
'Psh, speak of the devil and he appears! Why did he run over to where the southwest army is stationed? Did the emperor give him a secret mission or something?' Zhu Junxi grumbled in his heart as he sternly told his future wife, "In a bit, when we see Imperial Prince Xu, you absolutely cannot mention his good looks. I'm telling you, the two of us combined cannot win against him!"
"He's really that powerful?" Han Xiaomu's excited manner made Zhu Junxi's head hurt--it was too tiring to have a future wife who was so warlike!
However, when his future wife saw Yu Xiaocao by his younger brother's side, she immediately forgot her desire to spar with Zhu Junyang. She instead pulled on Xiaocao's hand as she chirped happily, "Younger Sister Xiaocao, you also came along? Don't you have official matters to attend to ah? How do you have the time to leave the capital and play? It's really too good that you were able to come. The minced meat sauce, jerky and canned fruits that you gave me before I left have all been eaten. Make some more for me please! I'm telling you, ah, there are a vast variety of fruits here. If you can make dried or canned fruits out of them, I'm sure they'll be very delicious!"
Zhu Junxi was dumbfounded by this and made an apologetic gesture to his younger brother, who had a displeased expression on his face. He pulled Han Xiaomu over and said, "Calm down a bit. You asked a bunch of questions at once, so don't you need to give Princess Consort Xu some time to reply ah? Furthermore, they just got here and you need to give her some time to rest first..."
