After hearing the queen's words, Gonggong Xu paused, but just glanced at Li Yanbi suspiciously, and the latter replied with an equally puzzled look.

They couldn't guess what the mother was thinking.

Although Li Yanbi knew that Niangniang was worried about the prince, she couldn't guess why Niangniang had such a big sense of crisis. In her opinion, although the prince is indifferent, he is an excellent candidate for the prince, and for so many years, the prince has also been expected, so she really doesn't know why the queen mother is always so worried about the prince.

However, since it is the person whom the queen wants to get rid of, she will do everything she can to help her.

I'm happy divider*******

Chu Yu planned to go back to the house to rest directly after facing the saint, but the emperor insisted on holding a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, so Chu Yu had no choice but to stay with the seven princes.

However, because the banquet only started at night, Chu Yu found an excuse to go back to the house first and come back at night.

The emperor expressed his understanding and agreed. With the precedent of Chu Yu leaving first, the Eighth Prince, Chu Bingze and others also found an excuse to go back and change their clothes and leave.

In the carriage, Chu Yu and the Seven Princes sat opposite each other, while Shuang Qi sat outside and drove the carriage with the coachman.

"Don't you feel glad that your father rewarded you?" , Chu Yu looked at the Seven Princes who had no joy or sorrow on his face, and was a little puzzled.

"I deserve it." , The Seventh Prince opened his eyes and glanced at Chu Yu, and said lightly.

Chu Yu glanced at the Seventh Prince, and stopped talking.

After passing through the bustling bazaar and through a silent path, in about a quarter of an hour, they returned to the Jinhuang Mansion.

Steward Ye had already stopped in front of the door for a long time, and when he saw Shuangqi in front of the carriage from a distance, he was excited, they were finally back!

When Shuangqi saw Steward Ye, he took the lead in nodding and saying hello to him.

Chu Yu got out of the carriage with the support of the Seventh Princess, looking at this somewhat lonely and cold mansion, Chu Yu suddenly felt a little warm, like the feeling of returning home, what a strange feeling. However, this is her home.

His and her home, at least for now, seems to be.

Steward Ye waved his hand to signal the two guards to open the gate of the palace, and then stepped forward and greeted, "Seven princes, seven princesses." ”

The Seventh Prince nodded in understanding, did not speak, but just took Chu Yu's hand and walked into the mansion.

Steward Ye asked the coachman who led the horse to lead him to the stable, and he followed Shuangqi back to the mansion.

Ming Yu Xuan.

Two lightly dressed maid-looking men were sweeping the yard.

"When the Seventh Imperial Concubine comes back today, we have to clean up this courtyard." , a maid with a slightly red face from her work muttered as she swept the floor.

Another slightly burly maid smiled when she heard this, but did not say anything.

"The Seventh Princess is already at the gate of the mansion, Qiluo, hurry up and prepare the bath soup." Suddenly, a maid dressed in a lilac costume and wearing a high bun hurriedly ran in.

The maid who was called Qiluo raised her slightly red face, "The Seventh Imperial Concubine is back!?" ”

"yes. So Kira, hurry up and prepare the bath soup, and I'll leave it to me here. ”

Seeing Qiuge instructing her like this, Kira wrinkled her little face and said dissatisfiedly, "Why am I going to prepare the bath soup again?!" ”

Qiuge poked her head and said, "Otherwise, could it be me?" The person who knows the heat of the bath soup of the Seven Princesses is you, and you also know the most about what petals the Seven Princesses are going to use, so it's most appropriate for you to prepare. ”

"Well, it seems like that." Hearing this, Qiluo also felt that there seemed to be some truth, so he didn't think much about it and trotted to prepare the bath soup for the Seventh Princess.

Jun Yang, who was standing on the side, glanced at Qiu Ge with slanted eyes, and said lightly, "Qiu Ge, you are too unkind." ”

"You are kind, and I don't see you preparing." Qiuge leaned on the edge of the wooden railing on the flower stand on the side, and squinted back.

Jun Yang glanced at her, and stopped talking, when it came to this, she was indeed inferior to her clever mouth. With a sigh, Junyang continued to clean up again.

They moved quickly, and cleaned the courtyard inside and out before Chu Yu returned to the yard.

When Chu Yu returned to the courtyard, he saw Junyang and Qiuge sitting at the stone table next to them with flushed faces.

Seeing Chu Yu coming back, Junyang and Qiuge showed joy on their faces, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Seventh Princess, you are finally back!" ”

"Well, I'm back. By the way, why are it just the two of you, Kira? Chu Yu glanced around, but didn't see Qiluo's figure, so he asked suspiciously.

Qiu Ge looked aggrieved, "Seventh princess, you don't care about us, just ask Qiluo." ”

Chu Yu smiled, "What kind of crooked reasoning are you, you are standing here well, what is there to ask, and I see that your appearance is full of anger, and it is not enough to worry me." It's Kira, I didn't see her all the way back, where did she go? ”

"Kira, she's going to prepare a bath for you." , Jun Yang explained with a light smile.

"I see. Kira has a heart. Chu Yu smiled at the corner of his eyes.

Qiuge regretted for a moment that she had asked Qiluo to prepare the bath soup, and she should have gone by herself, so that the Seventh Princess would praise her. Thinking like this, Qiuge regretted it for a while.

"This yard is a lot cleaner, you did it, right?" , No, Chu Yu asked with a smile again.

Jun Yang smiled lightly, "This is what we just did." ”

"You guys have a heart, too." , Chu Yu praised again.

When Qiu Ge heard the praise of the Seventh Imperial Princess, the remorse in his heart gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by happiness.

At this moment, Qiluo led a group of maids from the entrance of Ming Yuxuan, each holding steaming water in their hands.

When they saw Chu Yu, they made a commitment, and then sped up their steps and walked to the room.

After a while, several more servants came into the courtyard with buckets of hot water, and Kira came out to lead them into the house.

Chu Yu and the others who were outside could only hear the sound of the slave pouring the water from the bucket into the bathtub, and after a while, Qiluo led a group of people out.

"Seventh Princess, the bath soup is ready, please take a bath." Kira's face was crimson, tired and busy.

Chu Yu got up and said sincerely, "Thank you, Qiluo." Thank you very much. ”

Kira was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She felt that the Seventh Imperial Concubine was a little more approachable than before.

Chu Yu didn't wait for her to answer, she knew that Qiluo was a slow girl, and if she had to wait for her to respond, the bath water would be cold.

When Chu Yu came out after bathing, it was already noon, just in time to have lunch with the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince had also changed into a crescent white brocade robe, and sitting beside him, Chu Yu could smell a good fragrance on him.

On the dinner table, the dishes are complete, much better than the food in the army.

Chu Yu had a great appetite and actually ate two bowls of rice.

Seeing that Chu Yu's appetite was so good, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up, "It's still delicious food in the house, right?" ”

Chu Yu nodded without hesitation, it was naturally delicious, besides, today's meal was a little more sumptuous than the usual meal in the house, maybe it was Steward Ye who added the dishes on his own initiative.

"Then eat more." As he said this, the Seventh Prince picked up another piece of chicken leg and handed it to Chu Yu's bowl.

Chu Yu thanked him, then grabbed the chicken leg and ate it.

During these days in the army, under the infection of everyone, she gradually let go of some restrictions on herself. For example, if you eat chicken thighs, you should use your hands or your hands, and you can't eat good things if you are reserved.

When he was in the army, the Seventh Prince almost didn't have a meal with Chu Yu, so when he saw Chu Yu's actions at this time, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. This is the first time he has seen her like this, she doesn't have the appearance of a lady, but it makes people feel unpretentious and kind.

After eating and drinking, Chu Yu touched his belly with satisfaction, and only after noticing the surprised eyes of the Seventh Prince did he realize that his actions seemed to be a little indecent, so he smiled awkwardly, "I'm used to it in the army." ”

"Well, it's okay, no matter what you do, in my eyes, it's the same." , The Seventh Prince smiled faintly.

Chu Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, not understanding what the meaning behind the words of the Seventh Prince was.

She didn't want to bother too much, though.

After eating and drinking, she just wanted to lie down in bed and sleep comfortably. During these days in the border barracks, she was busy every day, and she was also in a hurry on the way back to the city, and it was impossible to say that she was not tired.

When she returned to Ming Yuxuan, a snow-white ball ran towards her, and before Chu Yu could see clearly what the white ball was, the latter hung directly on her skirt and meowed from time to time.

It turned out to be Xiaobai!

"Xiaobai, where are you going? Why didn't I see you? Are you going to surprise me? Chu Yu squatted down, grabbed the little guy who grabbed the hem of her skirt, hugged her nose and said.

Xiaobai glanced at Chu Yu a few times, and meowed a few more times, as if complaining about Chu Yu.

Qiluo came out of the room, his eyes were a little anxious, and he seemed to be relieved after seeing Chu Yu hugging Xiaobai, so he made a slight salute and said, "The Seventh Imperial Concubine is auspicious." ”

"Are you looking for Xiaobai? In a hurry. Chu Yu glanced at Qiluo.

"Yes, the slave was looking for the cat, and the slave thought it was gone. Seven princesses, you don't know, since you went to the barracks, this little white stool disappeared from time to time for a few days, at first we were worried about the break, and thought it was captured by the bad guys, but a few days later it came back by itself. And, since then, Xiaobai has often done this. ”

"No wonder I didn't see Xiaobai when I came back, it turned out that I was secretly playing." After that, Chu Yu gently poked Xiaobai's cat head with his fingers.
