CHAPTER 40
Listening to Banlan's voice, as if the sky was about to fall, Dongfang Du looked back at the direction of the gate, and turned his head to look at the dark clouds: "Do you still like it?" "Even if the sky falls, you have to get an answer first.
"Yes," Dark Cloud said affirmatively, silently saying in his heart: "I love you, I've loved you for so long, how can I care, but now, I can't know that your gender is a woman." β
"Second prince, second prince, something really happened!" Banlan didn't see Dongfangdu respond for a long time, and gritted his teeth, "Second prince, the slave and maid are here!" As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door and went in.
"Second prince, why shouldn't you be a slave?" Banlan entered the house, but saw Dongfang Du standing with his head down and smirking, raised his eyes and quietly swept around, but he didn't see anyone, his heart chuckled, and he walked over quickly, "Er...... Second prince, you ......, "You won't be ghosted, right?"
rolled up his sleeves and was about to pinch Dongfangdu, but he saw Dongfangdu suddenly raise his head, and the smirk on his face had faded. Banlan was so frightened that she took two steps back, 'No...... It can't be that you were really ghosted......
"Banlan, what did you just say happened?" Dongfang Du asked blankly, completely unaware of how terrifying his actions and expressions were just now.
"Ah, yes! Event! Banlan remembered the news she had just heard, and hurriedly lowered her voice and leaned into Dongfangdu's ear and said: "Second prince, just now the slave maid heard Xiao Lizi in the imperial study say that the Western Xuanguo suddenly attacked our Dongqian Kingdom two days ago, and I heard that the defenders of Jizhou City could not carry it for a day, so they were captured by the Western Xuanguo. β
"The Western Xuan Kingdom is attacking our Eastern Qian Kingdom?" Dongfang Du frowned, in the previous life, the four countries had been safe and sound, until she died, there was no war, how could this life suddenly ......
"Yes, I suddenly attacked our Dongqian Kingdom, I heard that the emperor was furious in the imperial study, and scolded the ministers of the military department to be bloody, I am afraid that they will be dragged out and cut down." Banlan continued, "As soon as Xiao Lizi changed shifts, he hurried away from the imperial study, for fear of accidentally angering the emperor!" After speaking, he patted his chest, fortunately he was not on duty in the imperial study.
"Is this news credible? It can't be Xiao Lizi's nonsense, right? Dongfang Du looked at Banlan and began to think in his heart, if this is true, maybe it is an opportunity.
"It's true, second prince!" Afraid that Dongfang Du wouldn't believe it, he explained: "The slave maid and Xiao Lizi are the same townspeople, from the same small village, and when such a big thing happens, he doesn't dare to tell others, so he can only come and tell me." β
"You and Xiao Lizi are fellow villagers?" The corners of Dongfang Du's mouth rose, "Xiao Lan'er, you are becoming more and more important to this palace!" Dongfang Du gently patted Banlan's shoulder and put his hand on Banlan's shoulder, "In the future, if there is any news, you must tell SΓΉ Bengong as soon as possible." β
Banlan blushed and lowered her head shyly, "Hmm"
Seeing Banlan's appearance of a young girl, Dongfang Du hurriedly withdrew his hand, secretly glanced at the position of the beam, and comforted himself: "It's so far away, Yun'er shouldn't be able to see Banlan's expression......
"Although this Western Xuanguo has captured Jizhou City, it is not so easy to hit the capital, don't worry." Thinking that he still had something to say to Dark Cloud, when he finished speaking, he estimated that his father in the imperial study should also lose his temper, and it was not too late to go at that time, so he said to Banlan: "Banlan, you go out first." β
"Huh? Get out? Banlan looked up at Dongfangdu, "Second prince, the slave maid will stay and serve you." "I finally had an excuse to enter the house, why did I send her out so quickly.
"Well, there's no need to wait."
"Then the slave and maid accompany the second prince, how boring it is for the second prince to stay alone in the palace! Why don't you go to Concubine Xian's place with you? Banlan made all kinds of excuses, just to stay by Dongfangdu's side.
Dongfang Du raised his forehead and secretly glanced at Fang Liang again, "Banlan, this palace is hungry, can you go to the imperial dining room and ask the imperial chef to cook something to eat?" "That's the only way to go.
"What does the second prince want to eat? The slave maid will make it for you, and the cooks in the imperial dining room are not as delicious as the slave maids! As soon as he said that he was cooking, Banlan couldn't stop snickering, and he had the opportunity to cook food for the second prince himself.
Dongfang Du knew that Banlan would answer like this, and hurriedly said: "What exactly do you want to eat, this palace doesn't know, it's better for Banlan to decide for this palace." After speaking, he touched his stomach, "Banlan, hurry up and go to the imperial dining room." β
Seeing Dongfang Du's action of touching his stomach, he thought that he must be very hungry, so he hurriedly nodded, "The second prince is waiting here, and the slave will come back soon." After speaking, he walked to the door, walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, smiled shyly, and said, "Second prince, the slave likes you to call me Xiaolan'er." After speaking, he didn't wait for Dongfang Du to answer, and hurriedly ran away.
The meaning of Banlan's words is obvious, that is, let Dongfang Du always call her Xiaolan'er, instead of sometimes Xiaolan'er, sometimes Banlan.
"Do you like to hook up with palace maids?" As soon as Dongfang Du closed the door, he heard the sound of a dark cloud behind him.
When you hooked up with me in your previous life, you also said that I would be your palace maid, look at Banlan's appearance, it is obvious that her heart is moved. Approaching Dongfang step by step, he said aggrievedly: "Do you like her?" β
"No, no, I like you the most, I just like you." Dongfang Du hurriedly said. The two who expressed their hearts instantly seemed to have returned to the past, with no estrangement and no resentment. However, how long can such a harmonious atmosphere be maintained?
"Really?" Dark Cloud blinked.
"Really." Dongfang Du nodded, "Yun'er, the one I just said is ......"
"Second prince, the food is here!" Before he finished speaking, Banlan's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, Dongfang Du turned his head to look at the door, and when he turned back, the dark cloud disappeared again, looked up at the beam, and found that the dark cloud was standing on the beam and looking at her resentfully, Dongfang Du sighed helplessly, "Alas"
She didn't know that Banlan would come back so soon! Didn't you just send her away! It stands to reason that there is not half an hour, and it should take time for two pillars of incense. Look at this speed, less than half an hour!
"Second prince, the slave knows that you are hungry, this is a pastry made by the slave and maid in the morning, and I have always prepared it for you." Banlan raised the food box in his hand, bypassed Dongfangdu, and took out a few plates of pastries in the box one by one and put them on the table. When he turned around, he saw that Dongfang Du was still standing in place, and urged with a smile: "Second prince, come and eat, these are all made by the slave maid this morning." β
Banlan is really a competent personal maid, afraid that Dongfang Du will be hungry, so she will prepare some small pastries every day. If it weren't for the name of a personal maid, I wouldn't believe it if I didn't call it a lady.
"Banlan, you take such thoughtful care of this palace." Dongfang Du walked over in a daze. With Banlan's eager gaze and the resentful gaze of the dark cloud on the beam, he ate hard.
"Second prince, you can always call the slave maid Xiaolan'er, the slave maid doesn't mind......" As she spoke, Banlan blushed again.
'Hongu minds'
'I mind'
Dongfang Du replied in his heart at the same time. Seeing Banlan's β‘β‘ blushing face and waiting for his answer, Dongfang Du could only nod shyly. After receiving Dongfangdu's affirmative answer, Banlan smiled happily, while someone on the beam of the house unhappily left five fingerprints on the pillar.
"Hongu is full." Dongfang Du put down his chopsticks, thinking that the time was almost up, so he said: "Banlan, this palace is going to go to the imperial study to meet my father." β
"The second prince is for ......"
"Shhh Banlan nodded and swallowed back the unfinished words.
The dark clouds on the beams of the house looked at Banlan for a while, and said in his heart: "It seems that you are not as simple as a three- or four-year-old child as Du said. β
"Your Majesty, the second prince is asking to see you outside." The eunuch guarding the door entered the imperial study and knelt down and said.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qianwen, who was discussing with the Hussar General of the Ministry of War, was slightly stunned, and wondered in his heart, "Why did Du'er come to the imperial study at this time?" Then he said to the eunuch, "Let him in." β
"The sons and daughters visit their father, long live their father, long live long live." Dongfang bowed, waited for Emperor Qianwen to say goodbye, then got up, and without waiting for Emperor Qianwen to ask, he said: "Erchen's senior sister, after staying in the palace for a few days, saw that Erchen did not get sick again, so she wanted to leave the palace. The son came here to report this matter to his father. β
"I see." Emperor Qianwen nodded, "If she wants to leave the palace, she can go out at any time." β
Dongfang Du looked at the ministers around him, and arched his hand and said: "Presumably, my father and several ministers have something to discuss, and the ministers there retired first." β
Emperor Qianwen groaned for a moment and said, "Du'er, you stay first." β
