I haven't seen her for two months, Xiaoman has a lot of things to say to Xiaolian, and let Xiaolian sleep in her room that night, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted slowly, the first thing she had to do was, of course, to explain the matter of defrauding death and leaving the palace, hoping that she could understand why she was hiding it from her, and also told her that she would no longer be Xuanyuan Liuxia from now on, no longer the identity of a princess, just a commoner for Chi Xiaoman.

Xiaolian cried again after hearing this, she couldn't have a grudge against her master! Now that the master cared so much about her feelings, she was happy and felt distressed for her master's plight, and scolded while crying: "The queen mother is so hateful!"

"Hee...... When did Xiaolian become so bold that even the current queen dared to scold?" Chi Xiaoman pinched her pink cheeks with a grin and teased.

The master laughed again. Xiaolian pursed her lips disobediently.

"Didn't you say that you shouldn't be a sister to your master?" Chi Xiaoman turned his head to look at her with a smile and said, "Come, call Sister Xiaoman to listen." 」

"Little ...... Small...... Sister Xiaoman ......" The more Xiaolian spoke, the quieter she became, and the last three words sounded like gnats.

Knowing that she would not get used to it for a while, Chi Xiaoman no longer continued to force her, and instead asked about what had happened in the palace in the past two months.

It turned out that a lot of things had happened, the third princess Xuanyuan Biyue and Concubine De and the second prince had already heard about the loss of power, but I didn't expect that the emperor Lao Tzu really solved the locust plague in the north according to the method she proposed, which also made the emperor Lao Tzu more angry at her "death", and his personality became more moody.

It is said that he often insulted the ministers in the court, and for those courtiers who had problems in various counties and counties, but could not come up with a solution, none of them could escape the punishment of Long Yan's anger. There were even some ministers who were originally at odds with each other, taking the opportunity to attack each other, and the court was chaotic, the people were panicked, and the ministers of the court and the central government complained bitterly.

Later, because of the prince's advice, the situation improved.

Xiaolian will know this, and naturally she will hear it from other people's mouths. After Xuanyuan Liuxia was buried, Xiaolian wanted to guard the tomb for the master, but the prince transferred her to Donghe Palace, although she was a second-class palace maid, but she told her aunt in Donghe Palace to take special care of her, she could get the prince's special care, and there were naturally many people who were close to her in the snobbish palace.

She originally thought that the prince took care of her, but she was just thinking about the old relationship with the master of Liuxia, but she didn't want the master to be dead at all, and His Royal Highness the prince also knew about it.

Maybe her departure from the palace has long been within the plan of the prince and the master. But she is very grateful to the master and the prince, this time out of the palace, His Royal Highness the prince settled her family, gave the family a hundred taels of silver, when the family sold her into the palace, she never thought that one day she could go back, especially in the first year of entering the palace, I heard that there were palace maids and eunuchs in the palace for three days and were executed for committing crimes, so that her heart felt resentful of her family for selling her into this place of cannibalism.

Although this resentment in her heart has dissipated later, there may be other choices, she would rather not go back, anyway, even if she goes back, her family will marry her in two years, and it is still unknown who she will marry at that time, and now that the master is not dead, and she treats her so well, she is really willing to follow this master for the rest of her life.

Chi Xiaoman was tired for a day, and after hearing that Xiaolian was transferred to Donghe Palace by the prince's brother, so he heard those things in the court, and the prince's brother admonished his father and calmed his father's anger at the courtiers, and finally his eyelids were so tired that he couldn't open them and fell asleep.

Xiaolian turned her head to look at her sleeping side face, and closed her eyes with a smile on her lips. It's good to have this master, and she feels very lucky and happy.

The time sequence has passed the summer, the weather is unbelievably hot, and the business of Xiangmanlou is not as good as it can be, thanks to the ice products invented by Xiaoman.

When Xiangmanlou was decorating, Chi Xiaoman asked Han Yi to build an ice cellar for her, she saw that the business cost of ice products was low, and the hot sales volume of Tianyi must be large, which can be described as a steady profit, and the raw milk she used to make biscuits and milk tea was not easy to preserve, and she had to rely on the ice cellar, so it was indispensable and the largest cost of all decoration costs.

However, it turns out that her decision is correct, and there is always an endless stream of people in Xiangmanlou every day, but everyone who works in Xiangmanlou is also smiling.

There is no other reason, naturally Xiangmanlou's business is good, and their wages will also rise. This is what Chi Xiaoman promised everyone, in addition to the basic salary, Xiangmanlou also has the so-called "dividend" system, as long as the silver earned every month is deducted from the cost and wages and the commissions of the three bosses, there is a part of the remaining will be allocated to everyone to share dividends.

Of course, Chi Xiaoman also explained the dividend system, so that everyone understands what it means, so the better the business, the busier it is, but the bigger the smile on everyone's face.

However, when the beginning of autumn is coming, there is a person in the Xiangman Building who is often missing.

On this day, early in the morning, when there were no guests in the Xiangman Building, Chi Xiaoman stopped Xiao Twelve, who was about to go out.

"Twelve, what's the matter with you and your master, the old god has mysteriously disappeared these days?" In the past, although Wei Chimu often went to see the people in the Shadow Pavilion, it was not like recently that he always went out early and returned late, and she could feel that he was preoccupied. But when asked if something had happened, he always smiled and told her not to worry.

"This ...... Miss Chi, you better ask the master yourself. Ji Minzhi didn't know how to answer, he knew that the master didn't want Chi Xiaoman to know for the time being.

"If he is willing to say that I am still asking you why are you doing?" Chi Xiaoman glanced at him, and then said with a thief's smile: "Do you want to know how Xiaolian feels about you?"

Ji Minzhi's handsome face turned red, and he turned his face away and didn't answer.

"Alas, you, you, I am in a hurry to die, this Xiaolian has been here for half a month, and you haven't said a word to her, have you? Is it fun to peek at her every day?" She felt that Ji Minzhi had some meaning to Xiaolian, but she always had a cold face, and Xiaolian seemed to be a little afraid of him!

"It's good if you tell me what you're up to, if you don't say it, I'll match Xiaolian and Xiaozhong, I think Xiaozhong is older, but he is honest and clever—"

"Alright, alright, I'll sue you. Ji Minzhi hurriedly stopped her words, and said sullenly: "I'm towards Your Majesty...... Twelve golden orders were issued to the master. ”
