Since Xiao Yu'er was half a year old, Chen Afu began to gradually take over the middle feed of the Hou Mansion from the third lady, and had to fix more than an hour in the morning to deal with the affairs of the palace in the inner courtyard chamber. She has never liked to manage housework, so as soon as she took over as a housekeeper, she began to train Mama Li and Hongfei to be right-hand men. Hongfei has already decided on a family affair, and she is a steward in the house in her later life, and Chen Afu asked her to marry in two years.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu'er has already started to feed, and she only feeds milk twice a day, morning and evening.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Afu invited all the masters except the second room to have dinner in Zhuxuan, and Li was so angry that he scolded in the courtyard for most of the night, and this matter reached Chen Afu's ears the next day.

This is the good thing about being a housewife, and a little wind and grass in the house can reach her ears immediately.

Chen Afu was slapping Li in the face in a bright way. At the beginning, the Li family followed Rong Zhao to make trouble, and for more than ten years, he controlled the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion and embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver. Forget the silver, but she tossed so much that Chu Lingxuan and Yan'er couldn't go back to their homes, and she was delusional that Chu Lingxuan would let her son inherit the title, which was heartbreaking.

Although the second master didn't make trouble with him, he didn't care about his daughter-in-law's trouble, and he didn't feel any pressure to spend the money that his daughter-in-law was greedy for. He's not authentic either.

If it weren't for the hint from the Marquis of Chu that the second master had suffered when he was young, even if the silver was counted, it would have saved the second master's face, and Chen Afu would really find a way to force the Li family to spit out the tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Fortunately, Chu Ling'an and his wife are good, and Chen Afu is still courteous to them in private.

At the beginning of June 20, not long after Chen Afu got up for lunch, he was leading a few children to play in the hall with the house of animals except for the golden swallow. The Golden Swallow was sent to the south again to "watch the battle".

At this time, Xiao Shiyi and Li Xuan came to the Chu family together again.

As soon as Xiao Li Xuan came, he raised his voice and shouted, "Auntie, I want to eat your family's watermelon shaved ice and golden shrimp balls." The voice was cheerful, the same as in the countryside and Dingzhou Mansion before.

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Your mother is still hungry?" or a stack of voices for people to make watermelon shaved ice, as well as the food that His Royal Highness Eleventh and Rui Shizi liked, and left them for dinner at night.

Last month, Prince Rui asked Xiao Li Xuan to be crowned the prince, and the crown prince directly approved it on behalf of the emperor. In fact, many princes or people with titles may not necessarily ask for the title of prince when the child is so young. The reason why Prince Rui did this was to tell his biological mother, Concubine Zhou De, and his eldest son, Li Chao, that the son was the son of Li Xuan, and some things could not be delusional.

After Concubine Zhou Defei knew about this, the prince had already given it to Li Xuan. She couldn't get angry, so she summoned King Rui to the palace and scolded him, saying that Li Xuan was too young, and asked Prince Rui to take back the position of the prince, and then ask him for a seal after Li Xuan's body has completely recovered in two years.

King Rui didn't agree, saying that such an important matter could not be changed overnight. Besides, Li Xuan is very healthy now and does not need to recover.

Lord Rui has been a disobedient bastard since he was a child, and it was useless for Concubine Zhou Defei to scold for a long time.

Concubine Zhou De couldn't, so she ran to the emperor and cried, saying that Prince Rui was not filial, and she didn't talk about such a big thing as a concubine. Moreover, Li Xuan is weak and a little stupid, how can he take on this big responsibility.

The emperor reprimanded Concubine Zhou De, saying that she was too biased as a grandmother. Anyone can see that the current Li Xuan is smart and strong. There is no reason why such a good grandson does not inherit the title, but lets the grandson inherit the title.

Concubine Zhou De was so angry that she said in her heart, you are more biased than anyone else, you haven't let your concubine be the prince. But she only dared to think about it in her heart, and didn't dare to say it.

Concubine Zhou Defei failed to make trouble for Li Xuan's position as the prince, and Li Chao did not dare to make any more trouble. In addition, with Xiao Eleven, Li Xuan's life in the palace is much better. I no longer have the anxiety and anxiety I had when I first returned to Beijing, and I am optimistic and relaxed again.

Little Eleven also gradually adapted to life in the palace. My brother is the crown prince, and the emperor loves him, so he can't live a life without nourishment. Especially after his biological mother became the queen, no one dared to care about him walking sideways in the palace. Not only that, but he was also honored by those imperial nephews every day, and his life was very comfortable.

He still rarely mentions Chen Afu and the Chu family in the palace, and occasionally meets Chen Afu who enters the palace to greet the queen mother or the queen mother, and he will only greet him politely, not too affectionately. However, as soon as he returned to the Chu family, he would sit next to Chen Afu like a child. Of course, he would not snub Chu Hanyan, and would pull her to sit beside him with one hand. A peerless beauty on one side made him extremely happy and proud. It's enough to make love with the two beauties, and then tease the other younger brothers and sisters.

When he returned to the Chu family, the other guards and eunuchs would be left in the outer courtyard by him. And there was only one person who came to Zhuxuan with him, that is, the little pigeon, and occasionally brought Qiuyue. These two people are his absolute confidants, and he is not afraid that they will tell him about his special closeness to his "mother".

In fact, he thinks that a person as kind as his mother will not be unhappy even if he knows that he is intimate with his "mother". But he didn't dare to be careless, he was always afraid of causing trouble to his "mother" and his family.

When he left the palace, he would take Mama Luo out every time, and Mama Luo would go directly back to her own home. Previously, Chu Lingxuan had already removed slavery from Luo Yuan and Luo Mingcheng's father and son. This is not only for the sake of Mama Luo's face, but also for the credit of Steward Luo's family for being loyal to Chen.

Although Steward Luo's family was a slave in the past, they were definitely rich, and they also had many shops and many fields. Luo Yuan has now become a free body, and he is a veritable master. He didn't need to help the Chu family anymore, he only took care of his own business. Xiao Luo Mingcheng has gone to study in a private school, and the Luo family expects him to study hard and make a name for himself in the future. With the help of His Highness Eleventh and the Chu family, the future will definitely not be bad.

Li Xuan, the little brothers and the animal house were not afraid of the scorching heat, and went to the children's park to play. Xiao Eleven didn't follow, saying that he would accompany his mother and sister in Zhuxuan.

Now that Little Eleven has grown up, she is no longer as interested in children's paradise as she was when she was a child.

When there was no one else around, Xiao Shiyi whispered in Chen Afu's ear, "Mother, Brother Nine Emperor asked me to tell you that he knew that Marquis Chu had been wronged, and he had a plan in his heart. ”

Since the Nine Emperor Princes were named crown princes, they have not seen the Marquis of Chu in private. He asked Xiao Eleven to hand over these words, was he showing an attitude, right?

Chen Afu smiled and pinched Xiao Shiyi's fat face and said, "Okay, I know, I'll convey it." ”

Xiao Shiyi blushed again and whispered, "I also feel that Marquis Chu has been wronged, but my father is ...... Hey......" He was embarrassed to say that his father was not, and after a pause, he said, "That Rong Zhao is very annoying, I have never seen her as an eldest sister." ”
