Chapter 37: A Very Special Feast (Part II)
The seventh princess washed up after dinner, changed into soft and breathable casual clothes, and chatted with the nineteenth princess for a while, and gradually became sleepy! Xia Zhener also said goodbye very well! Now Xia Zhen'er can only sit in the room where she just dined and take a breath!
Zhu Xiaobao was smiling at this time, because Duanmuqi really sent him the reward money, and it was twenty taels of gold! The chief Wu on the side was also shocked, the seven princesses were really generous! This made Chief Wu even more vigilant, and he stayed by Duanmuqi's side, which made Duanmuqi's plan fall through! Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Zhu Xiaobao, but Chief Wu seemed to be enthusiastic and never left, and he rushed to answer any questions, which made Duanmuqi very depressed, this old thing is really difficult to deal with!
Now Chief Wu and Duanmu Qi are simply sitting under a tree in front of the door, and the two are chatting while drinking tea, but Chief Wu's tone is very tight, and the matters related to the princess's mansion are all very simple and vague! Intentionally or unintentionally, he mentioned the matter of Xiyuan City! Of course, a staff member like Duanmuqi understood the meaning as soon as he heard it! However, he also pretended to be deaf and dumb, just talking about tea ceremony and martial arts with Mr. Wu, and the two of them could talk very speculatively!
The seventh princess woke up after sleeping for a while, not from sleep, but from an internal emergency, not from drinking a lot of wine! In fact, the seventh princess went to the banquet once, and it was into her own frame at that time, and the seventh princess certainly had her own special toilet when she went out!
At that time, Xia Zhen'er wanted to take the seventh sister to the bathroom, but she hesitated again and again and still didn't speak, after all, it involves privacy, and who knows if the seventh princess will be taboo to share a toilet with others! And Xia Zhen'er already felt that there were too many things exposed at that time, and she didn't want to attract the attention of the Seventh Princess anymore!
But people are not as good as heaven, at this time, the seventh princess woke up and called the two cronies around her, but there was no response! This made her very annoyed, this internal urgency is quite urgent, and the two dead girls are not there yet!
To say that they also wronged the two maids, of course, the toilet used by the princess cannot be reused, they took advantage of the seventh princess to fall asleep, immediately went to clean it, and then re-spread a thick layer of petals in this exquisite gold-painted toilet. The princess doesn't like to hear that kind of sound when it's convenient, so spreading a layer of flower petals is a good way to eliminate indecent sounds, and it can also neutralize some of the flavors!
In addition to the female guards of the seventh princess at the door, there are also two Xia Zhen'er's people, this is of course Xia Zhen'er's thoughtfulness, in case the princess has any needs, after all, she is her own subordinate, and she has a better understanding of the situation here! One of them is Ying Xiuxiu!
Of course, Ying Xiuxiu didn't know the whereabouts of the two personal maids of the Seventh Princess, so of course she led the Seventh Princess to the bathroom, this time she was very experienced, and she respectfully withdrew after explaining it clearly on the side!
"Duanmuqi! Mr. Duanmu! You come in! Check it out! Unexpectedly, after a while, the seventh princess called loudly in the bathroom.
"Huh? Ay...... Ay...... The old decay is coming in! Duanmuqi replied a little embarrassed, what's the matter today, the seventh princess didn't even care about the minimum etiquette! Although he hadn't been in, he knew which bathroom was convenient for the two princesses! This shouting let himself in, which made Duanmuqi feel very embarrassed, and he also wondered a little in his heart, could it be that he encountered some ambush? No, listening to the voice of the seventh princess, it seems to be very excited!
Cautiously entered the bathroom, Duanmuqi breathed a sigh of relief, the seventh princess was not in a big deal, just staring at the thing that looked like a round stool and was not a round stool! The middle of this thing is still empty, and there is a circle of mahogany around it, which is also a toilet?
The seventh princess didn't care about Duanmuqi's embarrassment, but waited with great interest for the sound of running water in the barrel above, and pulled a rope next to her...... The toilet bowl below was immediately flushed again! After doing so twice in a row, the Seventh Princess pointed to this new thing and said, "Mr. Duanmu, go back and make me such a toilet!" ”
"Huh? …… All right! Let me take a closer look, I think it's still with the help of a waterwheel! Duanmuqi almost collapsed, the dignified chief staff actually wanted to develop this toilet himself!
"Huh! It's a good thing, it doesn't need to be served by maids at all, and it can be cleaned up in no time! Nineteen sisters are really good at enjoying it, this dead girl, you actually have this good thing and don't tell me! I even ran to the frame to make it easier! The seventh princess said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Huh! I'm afraid that the nineteenth princess is afraid that you don't like to share with others, so she didn't tell me! Duanmuqi can think of the reason, after all, he still knows these princesses and princes very well, and they are more particular!
"Humph! That's not easy, change the upper cushion to be removable, whoever uses it can replace it, isn't it? "I didn't expect that women's imagination in terms of enjoyment is very amazing, and this product has been upgraded in a blink of an eye! This is something that even the little treasures have never thought of!
"Princess Takami!" Duanmuqi couldn't help but praise with admiration, this is from the heart!
Duanmuqi immediately began to study, like the ceiling fan, the structure is also very simple, the only puzzle is that there has always been a puddle of clear water at the bottom of the toilet, but this trouble was immediately explained by the chief manager of Wu, and a simple map was sent, it turned out that the chief manager of Wu also took into account the stakes, or let Duanmuqi understand it clearly, otherwise Duanmuqi proposed to let the nineteenth princess's mansion provide craftsmen, that is not to push out the small treasures! Now Chief Wu is not worried about the friendship with the Seventh Princess, but for fear that Zhu Xiaobao will be targeted by the Seventh Princess!
Duanmuqi had almost finished studying, and came to the room where the seventh princess was resting very respectfully: "Princess, I already understand clearly!" Just build a waterwheel and you'll be able to make these kitschs! ”
"Hmmm! There is Mr. Lao Duanmu! Alas, my dignified Rongwang Mansion is not as good as the nineteenth sister will enjoy it! It's really unbelievable that a small nineteenth princess's mansion actually has such skilled craftsmen! The Seventh Princess sighed a little dissatisfied. In fact, the seventh princess herself doesn't know that she has become very domineering over the years, and she will take everything she can see for herself! In fact, even the current emperor doesn't have much deterrent power on her! She has self-respecting troops, and the Great Xia Kingdom still relies on her to maintain balance!
"Huh! Princess, with all due respect, those are just things of comfort and pleasure, and there is no need to pursue them too much! After all, now that chaos is coming, the princess's hegemony should not be just satisfied with the existing fiefdom, right? Duanmuqi said in a low voice, and he also seemed very cautious in his words!
"Hmmm! Yes, these things are indeed easy habits for people to be comfortable and happy! "The heart of the seventh princess is secretly in the heart, yes! Her own ambition and hegemony are by no means more than now, her hegemony has just entered the best situation, these comfortable and hedonistic things are indeed slack, and her performance today is very unbearable!
"The princess thinks that the nineteenth princess deliberately caters to you, why?" Duanmuqi's heart was still very satisfied, after all, the seventh princess was a person who did great things, and she immediately understood the stakes!
"Humph! It's not Xiyuan City yet! Aren't those princes and princesses who come to see me now thinking about Xiyuan City? Hmph, they all want to have their own fiefdoms, and they don't look at their own weight, who can control there! The Seventh Princess snorted a little disdainfully, which she had seen from the beginning.
"But there is one person who can definitely hold it......" Duanmuqi sat opposite the princess and said with a more solemn expression.
"You mean the fourteenth sister?" The seventh princess no longer lay lazily, but sat up and discussed with Duanmuqi very seriously. She is not sloppy at all when it comes to major matters, and she is very good at taking the opinions of her subordinates!
"That's right! Although the fourteenth princess is incompetent, behind her is the Sixth Highness, as long as she guards Xiyuan City, the money and food army will continue to supply her! Xiyuan City is equivalent to the fiefdom of the Six Highnesses! The Sixth Highness and the Fourteenth Princess are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother! Duanmuqi analyzed in detail.
"Humph! Of course, Xiyuan City can't give this straw bale! But my people are now guarding Xiyuan City, which is also laborious and costly, time-consuming and laborious, and recently Zhao Meng sent a letter to ask for food and war horses, and he also wants to increase the number of people, which really annoys me! If Mr. Duanmu has any suggestions, you might as well say it directly! The Seventh Princess said a little upset.
"Huh! Isn't there a suitable candidate for the princess now? Duanmu Qi twisted his beard and smiled slightly.
"Nineteenth sister? Even if I have the heart to give Xiyuan City to her, she can't keep it! The Seventh Princess shook her head and said.
"That's the best of both worlds! You think, the Nineteen Dukes can't be defended, we can send someone to help guard it! It depends on the change of form! In case the saint drove the crane to the west, then the west source city became very important again! On the other hand, the Nineteen Dukes really can't hold on, so don't you have to come to the Seventh Princess in the end? When the time comes, aren't all her resources and skilled craftsmen all yours? Duanmuqi said very confidently.
"Hmmm! Mr. Duanmu is really calculating! I really can't hold it, and the nineteenth sister will have no shame to go back to the imperial city, so she can only defect to me! It's a good plan, and I won't treat her badly anyway! The Seventh Princess suddenly smiled understandingly.
"It's not the old plan, but the princess's opportunity has arrived, according to the current situation, once the world is in chaos, the princess, your situation is the best, you can attack, you can retreat! And the west side has no worries!
"Hmmm! In this way, the nineteenth sister has completely offended the sixth highness and the fourteenth sister! When Wu Yue and Gao Tiehua compete, I will add another fire, hehe, at that time, the nineteenth sister can only stand on our side with all her heart! Thinking of the future situation, the seventh princess couldn't help but have her eyes shining, as if she had seen the prospect of her yellow robe!
At this moment, the maid outside the door led Ying Xiuxiu in, carrying a plate of freshly fried stinky tofu and a bowl of white fungus soup!
"King Rong Chitose, my princess has prepared some snacks for you! This is fried stinky tofu, which smells stinky and delicious! My princess also prepared a dinner party, and invited King Rong Chitose to enjoy the light! Ying Xiuxiu said very respectfully.
"What is this, and what does it smell? Can you eat it? Mr. Duanmu, why don't you try it first? The seventh princess was a little hesitant when she saw the stinky tofu, although it smelled very good, but when she heard that it was stinky tofu, she was a little resistant in her heart!
"Good! I'll try it first! Duanmu Qi didn't care, he immediately started eating, he knew that the nineteenth princess would never come nonsense at this time, and he was quite appreciative of Zhu Xiaobao's craftsmanship!
"Hmmm! Not bad, quite good! Princess, this thing has an indecent name, or I'll do it all for you? White fungus soup is more suitable for women's beauty! Duanmuqi actually said jokingly, looking at that posture, it seems that he really wants to eat it!
"Put it down! Old thing, trying to lie to me again! The seventh princess immediately knew that Duanmuqi was joking, and the relationship between the two was very tacit, so she also shouted very exaggeratedly.
This time, the seventh princess is no longer taboo, picks up a piece of stinky tofu, dips it in seasoning, and tastes it carefully! Probably women are very fond of this kind of smelly and fragrant thing! The seventh princess ate a piece, and immediately her eyes lit up, threw the white fungus soup aside, and ate it attentively!
"Princess! What about the dinner party? Duanmuqi asked with a smile.
"Uh-huh! It's been indulged for a day, and if you indulge it again, you can't dial it is the kindness of the ninth sister! The seventh princess was the most busy and said vaguely.
"Oh! I wanted to rush back and help the princess with the ceiling fan and toilet! ”
"Someone! Bang Duanmuqi out of me! ”
"Yes!"
