After the confession banquet, Chanyi returned to Prince An's mansion, tired and exhausted, and didn't even have the heart to look at the gift box list in his hand, lying on the chaise longue and letting Jinping pinch his head, only then did he feel that it would be better.

"Princess, do you want to drink some mung bean soup?" Jinping rubbed her forehead for Chanyi, and said softly, "It's too hot today, the big kitchen has boiled a big pot of mung bean soup, put enough rock sugar, and chilled it with ice, which is very relieving of the heat." ”

Chanyi nodded, "Send some to the outer courtyard too, the prince is tired for a day today, let him eat more to relieve the heat." ”

Jinping smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have already sent it to the outer courtyard, and I have sent more to the stewards of the outer courtyard, and the servants in the garden have settled down a lot these days, do you see if it is ......?"

"Don't pay attention to them, I'll see it in a few days," Chanyi smiled, not caring too much, "There will always be people who can't hold their breath and jump out, when the time comes, they will clean up one by one, don't worry, when they return to the door tomorrow, are they all ready?" ”

Jinping said: "It's all ready, the old lady's gastrodia is full of five big boxes, as well as the sand cucumber for the lady and the master's snuff bottle are also ready early in the morning, the uncle's gift is an ancient long knife prepared by the prince himself, the slave heard that the knife weighs twenty-six pounds, and I don't know if the uncle will feel heavy." ”

Chanyi smiled a little tiredly: "Most men like these things, since they were given by the prince, they must not take advantage of it, fortunately, they are not in one place, otherwise they will not be disturbed every day?" ”

After saying this, he instructed, "Don't make any mistakes, although it is my mother's family, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it, so be careful." ”

Chanyi was talking, and suddenly felt that the hand massaged on her head became thicker, she couldn't help but touch up, and sure enough, she touched a pair of slender fingers with scars, patted those hands, looked up, and when she pinched her head, the Jinping was replaced by Chu Shaoyuan, she couldn't help asking, "Are you done?" ”

Chu Shaoyuan smiled and nodded, "Originally, it wasn't a big deal, but I was tired for so long today, and seeing that it was getting dark, you didn't call me back to the inner courtyard for dinner, so I had to come back by myself." ”

Hearing his grievances, Chanyi couldn't help but smile and glared at him, "When you men talk about business, they often forget the time, but they blame me, it's so unreasonable!" After saying that, he didn't dwell on this matter, and asked him, "Is the mung bean soup I sent to you ed?" ”

"I ate it, and I also ate mung bean cake, but it was a little too sweet and easy to lose my teeth." Chu Shaoyuan gently helped her rub her head, and her smooth long hair was in her hands, black and shiny, which was really lovely.

Chanyi said a little angrily: "Nonsense again, the cook brought it from the house, and it was all sugar according to the usual amount, how could it be too sweet?" ”

"No wonder," Chu Shaoyuan muttered in a low voice, "The dim sum you're used to eating is always a little greasy." ”

Chan Yi didn't hear his words clearly, and raised her head to look at him, with a little dazed in her tired eyes, which made Chu Shaoyuan's heart soften.

He knew that today's confession banquet was very hard, and he couldn't help but want to pull her back, but these people had to deal with it, otherwise Wanzhao's reputation would not be correct, and some people would inevitably criticize him in the future.

He said softly, "Are you hungry?" Or do you want to take a break before dinner? ”

Chanyi shook her head: "Don't stop, it's time to have dinner if you rest any longer," Chanyi felt much better, and sat up from the chaise longue, "Let's rest after dinner, and it's just time to sort out the gift list account books that have been piled up before." ”

Chu Shaoyuan helped her stand up and gently took her hand, "Otherwise, forget it today, it will take a lot of brains to think about the account books and gift lists, and it will not be too late to look at it tomorrow." ”

"I have to go back tomorrow, how can I look at these things? What's more, there is still Princess Fengyi's matter to do, I can't let you tell the Queen Mother that Princess Fengyi was hit by someone, this matter is better to solve it as soon as possible. ”

Chanyi spoke, and instructed Jinping to set up dinner in the side hall, a total of four, vegetarian fried three fresh, cold silver sprouts, green bamboo primrose, tofu balls, are extremely light vegetables, the staple food is small flower rolls and yam soft rice porridge.

She stretched out her hand and gave him a bowl of soft rice porridge, "Today's noon banquet is a little tired, and it's better to eat light dinner." ”

Chu Shaoyuan has never been a picky eater, and he is facing his beloved, even if he eats bran vegetables, he thinks it is delicious, so naturally he has no objections.

Chan Yi was thinking that when he came back by car today, he had a strong smell of alcohol, and he didn't know how much wine he had been poured into.

Chu Shaoyuan ate a bowl of porridge with relish, and told her about the errand that his father had sent him to the Ministry of Works, as well as the farce between the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo during today's banquet.

Chanyi chewed the tofu balls in her mouth, and said after a while: "Zhenguo Gong and Fuguo Gong have always had a relationship, and the two of them are used to supporting each other, so they shouldn't have such a big foreign appearance today, although I don't know much about the government, but listening to Zhen Guogong's meaning should be to insert the manual department, but Fuguo Gong disagrees, and the two families will have a disagreement because of this, so they will make today's incident." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Speaking of the words of King Anjun and Prince Li, Prince Li just died last year, and there is only one Prince Li in the huge mansion who is presiding, and now the princess is about to give birth, and it is normal that she did not come to the family recognition banquet, but I didn't see Princess Anjun today, I don't know what the reason is." ”

Chu Shaoyuan said with a smile: "The king of Anjun said that the princess of Anjun has returned to Xinyang to recuperate in the past few months, so she didn't come to the banquet to recognize her relatives, and let me take care of it more." ”

Chanyi nodded, "Today, Concubine Ci rewarded me with a phoenix hairpin, which is very valuable, and the dragon and phoenix bracelet given by the princess is also extraordinary, the return gifts I originally prepared are a little too light, I think about preparing some generous gifts to visit the palace in a few days, and I don't know if it is appropriate or not." ”

Chu Shaoyuan didn't care and said: "What's wrong with this, we go to visit the elders as juniors, naturally we have to prepare generous gifts, and the person who respects the king, although the errand looks inconspicuous, but compared to other declining clans in the clan camp, it is much more important, Concubine Ci has paved the way for him like this, I think he will not be a person who can't support the wall, let's take a look first." ”

This is also what Chanyi meant, she nodded and said: "I don't know what the situation of the second brother is now, has the epidemic in Fujian improved?" I didn't get back from my second brother, and I don't know if he will be angry when he comes back. ”
