Back at the Stargazing Pavilion, Lin Xiaoyou sat down at the table, Lan Yu carefully pulled her hand and removed the bandaged white cloth, and a striking black scar was exposed in front of her eyes.

Lan Yu looked a little distressed, frowned unconsciously, stroked the scarred wound with her hand, and asked, "Does it still hurt?" Miss. ”

Lin Xiaoyou glanced at it and shook his head lightly, compared to what he had experienced, how could this pain be as good as the pain in his heart.

"There's no puffiness, and it looks like it's recovering well." Xiangqing said and picked up the two bottles of medicine on the table. "The blue bottle in my left hand is a medicine to get rid of the black scar, and within two days after applying it, it will automatically fall off, but it may be a little itchy in between, so don't scratch it when the princess does. The green bottle on the right hand is a medicine to eliminate the residual marks after the black scar falls off, and after applying it, the scar marks on the hand will slowly disappear and restore the flaw before it, so pay attention to don't make a mistake when applying the medicine. How about the princess, this is a special ointment specially ordered by the prince to prepare for you! After Xiangqing finished speaking, she didn't forget to emphasize, proving that her master was really interested in the princess.

Lin Xiaoyou smiled speechlessly, neither nodding nor shaking her head, deliberately making Xiangqing Lanyu and the others mistakenly think that she was a default reaction. Waiting for Lan Yu to help change the medicine in his hand and bandage it again, he said: "Xiangqing, you go and ask the housekeeper Uncle Zhang to come over, Lan Yu, you quickly clean up here and make two cups of hot tea." ”

"Yes," the two responded, acting separately.

After a while, Xiangqing, who had taken the order, walked in, "Princess, Uncle Zhang is here." ”

Walking to the hall of the outhouse, Zhang Yingfu hurriedly got up and saluted, "Say hello to the princess." The tone is cold, but the attitude is very respectful.

I think it should be that as soon as Su Zixin left, he went to the account room to get the account book, so he should be dissatisfied with this matter. Lin Xiaoyou nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be polite, please sit down!" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare, just stand."

While talking, Lan Yu came in and served a cup of tea to the two of them. Lin Xiaoyou took it, took a sip and put it down, thinking about how to speak. After all, he is the leader of the palace, and for the sake of the future, he must not be offended lightly.

"Sister Su just went to find Uncle Zhang, right?" Lin Xiaoyou asked tentatively.

"Well, Concubine Su asked me to get the account book," Zhang Yingfu said expressionlessly, paused, looked up at Lin Xiaoyu and added. "It was said that you ordered it, the princess, and she will continue to be in charge of the daily affairs of the palace in the future."

"That's right." Lin Xiaoyou listened and spit out two words lightly.

After receiving a positive answer, Zhang Yingfu lowered his eyes and frowned slightly, and his displeased look flashed. For so many years, he has been conscientious and hard-working in running this family, it can be seen that if he wants to sit in the position of the palace housekeeper, he does not have any extraordinary determination and ability, so don't even think about it.

According to the rules, before the princess enters the door, the prince can hand over these daily housekeeping to the higher-grade side concubine room, but after the princess enters the door, they will all be returned to the princess to be in charge, which is a kind of exercise of identity. What no matter how many people can't get by peeping, why did she transfer it to others so lightly, not to mention breaking the rules, and making trouble for herself, although she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but more doubtful.

Sensing his feelings, Lin Xiaoyou raised his eyes and asked with a smile, "Uncle Zhang, do you have any objections or dissatisfaction with my decision?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Yingfu replied bluntly. "It's not in line with the rules, and it's not good for the princess herself."

Refreshing confession, without the slightest hesitation and roundabout, Lin Xiaoyou nodded appreciatively, "I know, such a decision is surprising, in your opinion, maybe this is a good thing, but for me, it is a chore." The rules are set by people, it doesn't matter, as for the rest, it doesn't matter, because I believe Uncle Zhang, you won't condone her misdeeds. Even if something does happen to me, I have a way to take it back. ”

The simple words, the resolute tone, the answer to his doubts and the flattery of his ability, did not allow him to have any dissatisfaction and dissent. Zhang Yingfu was surprised for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and said, "Since it is the princess's decision, the old slave naturally follows it." ”

"I also know that Uncle Zhang is generally taking care of the business of various industries under the name of the palace, and now he is putting the daily housekeeping of the palace on you, which is indeed a little inappropriate."

"If the princess has any orders, just show them, and the old slave will definitely do her best." Sure enough, he is worthy of being the chief housekeeper of the palace, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, Lin Xiaoyou mentioned it casually, and he immediately understood.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I haven't been here for a long time, and I hope that Uncle Zhang will give me more advice and tolerance for many things I don't understand. Regarding Sister Zixin's affairs, I just hope you can help me keep an eye on it, and nothing else. ”

"The princess is polite, this is what the old slave should do."

"Since Uncle Zhang agreed, I will bother you more in the future." Lin Xiaoyou politely greeted him a few words, and asked him to retreat first.

Leaving the Stargazing Pavilion, Zhang Yingfu thought for a while, turned around and walked towards the study room of the Shihuan Courtyard next door.

In the study, Xiahou Yichen was meticulously reading the text on the case, knowing that someone was coming, he didn't raise his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Regarding the matter of the princess, today she asked Concubine Su to continue to take care of the daily affairs of the palace in the future."

"What?" Xiahou Yichen thought that he had misheard, and finally stopped what he was doing, and looked up at Zhang Yingfu in astonishment.

"At first, the old slave couldn't believe it, but just now, the princess summoned the old slave over and already informed me about it." Zhang Yingfu replied respectfully.

"Really?" Xiahou Yichen replied leisurely, lowering his eyes and not making a sound. What does this woman mean, she doesn't consult with him and makes her own decisions, but she still treats his qiē as nothing. Although it is a cooperative relationship, it is also the mistress of this family in name, and his princess has the power and glory second only to him, in charge of all his net worth and property, and controls the life and death of others. Isn't such a noble and transcendent status and status right that everyone wants to get by all means? Why didn't she care so much? Thinking of this, a shallow smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes.

"Lord Wang, look at this" Seeing that Xiahou Yichen, who was stunned, did not say anything, Zhang Yingfu reminded in a low voice.

Xiahou Yichen waved his hand: "Let her go, you should pay more attention in the future." ”

"The old slave understands." Zhang Yingfu replied respectfully, bowed his head and carefully withdrew.

"Slow", as soon as he walked to the door, he was called by Xiahou Yichen again. "You will send someone later to invite the princess and the ladies to the hall for dinner."

"Yes."
