The pale lips couldn't help but tremble, except for Chunhua, who was lying on the bed, and held her arm tightly, the rest of the people present knelt together.

Xiao Jiu also slowed down for a while before he indifferently ordered: "Today's matter, no one should say anything, if he asks, he will drink it!" Chunhua was a little worried and wanted to comfort: "Princess" Xiao Jiu got up and said: "I'm fine, I should always think of today." ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and went out, his face was no different, but the whole person seemed to be contaminated with Chu Yinghan's own cold, which made people dare not approach. After walking aimlessly for a while, he followed Runxi and said: "Let's go to the tent room to see, now it is not far from Chinese New Year's Eve, the family banquet in the palace does not have to worry about me, but the mansion cannot be lazy, how to do better than in previous years!"

Runxi leaned over slightly and said, "The princess has thought about everything!" was in the tent all morning, and looked through the account books of previous years, and naturally understood a little in his heart. When Chu Yinghan came back, he had already prepared a draft. When he came in, he smiled as usual, but with some humility in the past.

Chu Yinghan felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he was afraid that it was a matter of the morning, so he had to explain: "Xiao Jiu, let you drink" Xiao Jiu interrupted impatiently: "I naturally understand, you don't have to explain more." ”

Chu Yinghan was stunned for a moment, and saw that she was in a wrong mood, so he didn't say much. Naturally, after Xiao Jiu poured two glasses of wine for him, he seemed to have a tone of inquiry: "I went to the account room today and looked at the previous account books. ”

"Oh?

Xiao Jiu didn't quarrel with him, and still said humbly: "Forget the account, it's better to give the waiter more rewards this year, you and I don't eat in the house, except for the New Year's dinner of the subordinates, the rest are free, right?"

"Well, you have the heart to let them save some money. ”

Xiao Jiu said again: "The three concubines in the mansion and Chen Moyan are famous after all, I have also prepared new clothes for them, and the family banquet will be brought into the palace together, so that the Northern Emperor and the pure concubine can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Chu Yinghan finally realized that something was wrong, frowned and said, "You were angry with me for them?"

Xiao Jiu's face did not change, and even a smile added: "How come? But they are always people in the house, and they can't reunite with their families at the end of the year, so they can bring you into the palace, and everyone is happy, why is it an angry behavior? Shouldn't it be like this as a princess?"

Chu Yinghan was even more angry when he heard this, but he still said patiently: "Now the situation is still unstable, I need to rely on many people, and I also need a reason to deal with her at this moment, it is too far-fetched and useless!"

Xiao Jiu smiled softly again, as if all his worries were not his own. Interrupted softly: "King Ying is too worried, and he personally wants to take care of Chinese New Year's Eve perfectly, and there are no superfluous thoughts. ”

Chu Yinghan looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, his chest was full of anger, in recent days, there have been old ministers playing, asking him to promote the status of several concubines in the mansion in the name of this happy event, Chen Moyan They dare not say, after all, it is a woman who does not abide by women's morals. But the other two are out of the house, and they have been empty nests for several years. It is also the hearts of the generals who are hurt. He had long been bored, and he didn't expect that what he was struggling to support would be so unbearable in her eyes. Would you rather appear in the eyes of everyone with other women than lose her reputation as a virtuous princess?

In the past, the woman who only wanted to occupy his own seat has now changed! Is she too conceited, or is the position of the princess too tempting? Also, who in this world does not love power? Just like herself, now she has also tasted more and more the taste of unifying the four countries, and what she wanted to do a few years ago is difficult to do, and she can only think about it. Now, with an order, the results can appear in front of you.

Those mountain alliances and sea oaths seem so humble and unbearable? I don't want to think about it, my chest is like a fire, and I don't want to talk to her more, I raised my head and drank wine and said: "Everything is arranged by you, the government affairs have been busy recently, and this king will not come back!"

He didn't look at everyone's surprised eyes, and walked away with his hands behind his back. Xiao Jiu was also stunned, before he raised the corners of his mouth high, and bowed softly: "The concubine respectfully sends the king to the king!" Fortunately, Chunhua was not there, but even Runxi felt that today's princess was very strange, and it was enough to be suspicious of meticulously following the rules of female morality.

Xiao Shunzi was waiting outside the door and didn't hear anything, but when he saw King Ying come out with a black face, he also felt that something was wrong. When King Ying walked away, he leaned into the house and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiao Jiu pouted and said, "What can happen? ”

Xiao Shunzi was slightly stunned, and understood that this was another trouble, but it was also a little different from the past. After all, everyone valued this Chinese New Year's Eve, and they couldn't be sloppy, so they bowed and said, "Yes! Princess don't worry, everything has slaves!"

Xiao Jiu stood up at this time, his expression was a little floating, with a hint of disappointment: "Indeed, this palace can only rely on you!" Xiao Shunzi was taken aback. When he saw her raise her foot to leave, he stretched out his hand to help her.

Turn and walk into the dark corridor. She Youyou asked, "Xiao Shunzi, what do you say you must rely on if you want the Holy Grace to be immortal?"

Xiao Shunzi saw that she was a little different tonight, so she replied in a deep voice: "Naturally, King Ying likes it!" Xiao Jiu paused: "There is nothing but liking?" Xiao Shunzi paused and said: "Many of the concubines in the palace are not all because they like it, there are people in the family who hold great power, and this emperor will have to do some superficial work in the end." ”

Xiao Jiu smiled faintly: "You are honest!" Xiao Shunzi felt even more weird, but he didn't dare to say more. I only heard her lament and walked slowly.

In this house, it seems that she is favored alone, but the two concubines are also the daughters of the goalkeeper, even if they have no power now, they are also old ministers. He used to be just a prince, with a great record, naturally no one dared to blackmail him, but now he is the head of the four countries, I'm afraid these little things can't be left clean.

But if one day Chu Yinghan doesn't like him, who should he let come forward? Do you want to let Xiban Tuoba Gu, she doesn't want to die and be involved. This princess is just a reputation, and it is impossible for her to die for herself. Tie Chuang, although he has affection, is lukewarm to her now.

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips, there must be his own talent in this palace. After being stunned in the inner room for a long time, he still called Runxi and said, "Auntie, please think of a way to send a message to King Ying." I had a brother in Dongli Kingdom, and I never saw him when he married the year before last, so I can allow him to come and see me?"

Runxi didn't know what she was thinking, but bowed and said, "Yes, the slave will go to someone to deliver the message!"

Xiao Jiu hurriedly stopped: "Forget it, let's pass it on tomorrow!" I don't know why, I don't want to see him tonight.
