Chapter 21

When Qi Caicai woke up again, it was already three poles old, and he looked left and right, but he didn't see the figure of the prince.

Several maids in the house had already begun to set up meals, and when they saw the princess wake up, they surrounded her.

"Girl, ah no, princess, it's time to get up for lunch. Chu'er took the tea for Qi Caicai with a gargle, and last night she was taught by Jinzhu and changed her name to her master.

After Qi Caicai finished rinsing his mouth, Jin Zhu handed over the hot towel and said with a smile:

"The prince came back in the morning, and when he saw that the princess was still asleep, he went to work again, and told the slave and maid not to call you, and to save lunch for you to use when you wake up. ”

Qi Caicai's heart warmed, and he replied unnaturally, "Oh." ”

Hairpin and Tian'er are still setting up dishes, and in the past two days, they have also had an understanding of the delicacy of the royal meal.

Qi Cai's food intake is definitely large among the official daughters, and he still can't finish the dishes on this table, according to the usual princess, she has three meats, one vegetable and one soup per meal, but Qi Caicai always has two or three more desserts on the table in the past two days. Qi Caicai didn't care much about these, he only ate for pleasure, but the people around him were careful.

The crown princess likes sweets, and the cooks in the East Palace have already been instructed by the prince, all of them are grinding their fists, and they are ready to take out their housekeeping skills to cook sweets that are not the same every day.

The master finished lunch, and a few maids packed up the rest of the meal and took turns to eat.

Jin Zhudao is not hungry, let the other people go first, today the crown princess wants to summon the stewards of the East Palace to come over to take power, at this time noon has passed, it is inconvenient to delay any longer, she is here to accompany the princess to have someone to discuss.

The stewards received the letter, and within a few moments they gathered in the main hall of Yan'an Palace. With Bandit Shi as the chief steward, there are eight stewards and sixteen deputy stewards in various places, standing respectfully in two columns in order of status, waiting for the crown princess.

The maids entered the hall from both sides, unfolded the ten curved screens embroidered on the silk floor, covering everyone's sight, and lit the incense at the two corners of the hall, and added ice cubes to the eight pillars.

The crisp plum fragrance mixed with the cool air diluted the sultry heat of the poisonous moon, and the stewards in the hall were in good spirits, and they hurriedly lowered their heads, and a lilac purple thin Luo skirt walked between the two columns, and sat down behind the screen.

"The crown princess is blessed with a jade body. ”

"No courtesy. You should know what is the so-called gathering here today, so I won't repeat it in this palace, let's start with Lord Banditshi. ”

The female voice behind the screen was a little immature, but no one dared to underestimate it, the prince's attitude towards the princess was seen by everyone, although for some reason the prince turned to the side hall to rest on the wedding night, but with some details in the past two days, it can also be determined that the prince has a heart for the princess, and the old people in this palace have never seen the prince treat a woman so considerately, except for Princess Tongbao and the prince's ex-fiancΓ©e Shen Xiaoshen.

Bandit Shi glanced at the "Riding Map" embroidered on the screen in the hall, and waved at the figure behind the screen, and replied:

"The crown princess is really different from ordinary boudoir women, and the screens used are full of heroism. ”

A chuckle came from behind the screen, and Bandit Shi continued: "There are many affairs in charge of the East Palace, I don't know if the crown princess may be competent?"

Qi Caicai frowned when he heard this, but did not answer immediately.

The stewards in the hall were sweating, and they didn't dare to come out, lest one accidentally hurt the fish in the pond.

Rao is Jinzhu used to have a good temper, but at this time she is a little cloudy, how can this Lord Bandit Shi praise and secretly belittle her master? I only listen to the first half of the sentence and praise the princess, and the second half of the sentence comes out, the so-called heroic and different in the preface is to imply that the princess only knows how to dance knives and guns and does not know how to feed them.

Jin Zhu looked at the crown princess with some concern.

Qi Caicai sent a reassuring look to Jin Zhu, and replied calmly:

"Since this palace is a woman, she still can't shirk the responsibility. But the palace is still young, it is indeed difficult to take care of the affairs of the East Palace, in the past, Lord Bandit Shi was in charge, so it will work hard for a while, and then the palace will learn and then take over the matter of feeding. ”

Bandit Shi was surprised by the princess's refreshing answer, and was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, he was in a hurry, and took out the keys to the vault and the treasure house and presented them.

"The crown princess can afford to be below, and she should be a dog and a horse. But the two keys that should be kept by the main mother were also asked to be accepted by the crown princess. As he spoke, he handed the key to the golden bead who had come to fetch it.

Since the crown princess did not take back the stewardship of Lord Banditshi, the rest of the time, the stewards only reported the situation and handed over the key to the subordinates to facilitate the management and inspection of the crown princess.

It took less than an hour for everything to be reported, and the bandit stone and the stewards left the hall with a straight face, and the thousands of doubts in the stewards' hearts were gagged, looked at each other, wiped the sweat on their heads and went to work.

On the way to the front yard, Gu Xia waited in the middle of the road early with a weird smile, and the bandit stone was thinking about things and didn't pay attention to it, and almost bumped into it.

Gu Xia hurriedly straightened the bandit stone, and kindly dusted off the non-existent dust on the bandit stone, and said with a bright face:

"Lord Banditshi~His Royal Highness the Prince, please~"

After standing upright with Gu Xia's elbow, he immediately knocked off Gu Xia's hand, and straightened his clothes by the way.

"Don't move your hands and feet, people will see and think I have a habit of breaking sleeves. As he spoke, Bandit Shi walked in the opposite direction of the Lianguang Palace.

"Hey, you're wrong, Lord Bandit, this way. "Gu Xia dutifully dragged the bandit stone back to the original way, and walked towards the Lianguang Hall 'together'.

It's the first time that Bandit Shi hates himself so much that he doesn't know martial arts.

In the Lianguang Palace, the prince sat behind a few cases, picked up the pen and considered what to write on the paper, Gu Xia and the bandit stone pushed and shoved into the hall, the prince put Zihao on the bronze sleeping immortal pen pillow, looked up and looked at the bandit stone quietly.

"My Royal Highness, I gave all the keys to the crown princess~" Bandit Shi howled, and there was not a single tear after squeezing for a long time.

Unmoved by the funny prince of the bandits, he raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Bo sympathy is useless, he can't do it yet, with a serious look, the bandit stone sat down opposite the prince,

"Your Highness, there are many secrets in the East Palace, and Shu Bandit Shi can't easily hand over the power in charge, after all, the crown princess's current position is not clear. ”

Gu Xia looked at the serious bandit stone, and then at the silent prince, and sighed in his heart, this is probably the master's helplessness, now the East Palace seems to be calm, but in fact, it is like walking on thin ice, even if the master loves the princess again, he can't ignore the responsibilities he bears and wantonly favor the princess, unlike those cold-hearted and cold-blooded people in the royal family, the master made decisions against his will again and again on the way to compete for a high position, he Gu Xia saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart.

After the bandit stone left, the prince retreated from Gu Xia and stayed alone in the empty hall, Zihao hung in the air, unable to write for a long time, and the rich ink soaked the Chengxin paper with a click, and the ink was like a black blood stain.

It is always the charm of the six dynasties, the fog is far away, and the smoke and water are boundless.

There are many in the hope, and the line is full of wandering.

Gradually, the peach blossoms are urging the spring to be old, and the willows on the shore are spit out the crow yellow.

Thinking about Wushan, how to become a cloud dream, as a guest in Gaotang.

There is nowhere to put the pen down.

He didn't know where to get to know her.
