Chapter 258: Giving a gift to the second prince
On the other side, the second prince was welcomed into the palace by the prefect, and as soon as he sent the prefect away, he heard someone outside the door to report.
"The second prince of Qiyu, the steward of the Yongcheng Royal Mansion and the steward of the Zhong family have important matters to report."
Why did the people from the Yongcheng Royal Mansion come together with the steward of the Zhong family, is it a coincidence or is it a coincidence that the two families are working together, the second prince drank tea and thought about it, and after a while, he put down the teacup and ordered: "Invite the two of you in." ”
"Yes."
Soon, the subordinates took the two into the hall, and after the report, the two saluted: "The Zhong family's steward Xia Zhi (Yongcheng Wangfu steward Li Hu) meets the second prince." ”
The second prince looked at the two of them, Xia Zhi, he knew that the seven stewards of the Zhong family were the helpers specially trained by the previous head of the family for Zhong Xuanlan, and he was loyal to the Zhong family, and many people wanted to do something to these people but could not succeed. And Li Hu seems to be the housekeeper of the Yongcheng Palace, but it is better to say that he is half the master of the Yongcheng Palace, and he is very loyal to the palace.
Both of these people can act in the place of their respective masters, why did they come to him today?
"The two of you are visiting this prince at the same time today, they won't be here to replace your family to pick up the wind and wash the dust for this prince!"
Xia Zhi and Li Hu glanced at each other, and then Xia Zhi said: "The big boss of my family was very happy to learn that the second prince came to relieve the disaster, and I wanted to wash the dust for the second prince, but I had two silver in my pocket, so I sent a gift to the second prince, hoping that the second prince would accept it with a smile." ”
As he spoke, Xia Zhi took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and presented it to the second prince.
The second prince glanced at the thick pile of paper, and motioned for his entourage to bring it up, he took it and looked at it, his face immediately turned dark, except for Zhong Xuanlan in this world, I'm afraid no one would give such a gift!
Xia Zhi saw that the second prince's face was not very good, but the order of the big boss could not be disobeyed, so he boldly said: "Second prince, how about this gift?" "If you don't receive it, it's a word, she's in a hurry to do something else!
The second prince looked at Xia Zhi's appearance, and wanted to put people in prison, there must be a master and a servant, "This gift is considered by the prince, and he will definitely visit your master another day." ”
Seeing this, Xia Zhi knew that the second prince would not give an answer, so he chose to leave.
After the summer solstice left, Li Hu said: "Second prince, my princess is kind-hearted, but the poor people are homeless, and a banquet was held to raise money, which is the income from the banquet and the cost of buying food and soup porridge in the past few days. The princess said that she was a woman, and it was not appropriate for her to come forward, so she would ask the second prince to do good. ”
The second prince knew that this was the Yongcheng Palace's burden, and he was unwilling to participate in this matter anymore, and said: "This is the princess's kind act, this prince can't,"
Before the second prince could say a word, he was interrupted by Li Hu, Li Hu said: "Second prince, this matter is the most suitable for you, but my princess can't come forward, she can't manage the outside affairs, in case something happens in the soup kitchen, this will ruin the minds of the families, my princess will be very unhappy, and the prince and the prince in the house are not at home, this matter is even more troublesome, so the princess asked the second prince to entrust this matter to the second prince." ”
The two shirked each other several times, and the second prince took over the matter.
Seeing this, Li Hu retired.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw Xia Zhi, and Xia Shang stepped forward and said, "Steward Li, the pot of the palace has been handed over." ”
Li Hu looked at this smiling steward, knowing that although this person was young, he was not easy to mess with, so he nodded slightly, "What did your master ask you to give to the second prince, I saw that his face was ugly, and he sweated for you, but I didn't expect you to dare to speak." ”
Xia Zhi said: "My master is still worried that your princess has been giving porridge, and wants me to go to the palace to remind her, but I didn't expect you to come to find the second prince." ”
Li Hu said: "Is your master doing something big again?" "Last time, he heard from his son about the grain, if the prince went to pick up it half an hour late, the grain would really be burned to the bottom.
Xia Zhi smiled, "My master is raising a baby at home now, how can he have the heart to do big things." ”
Li Hu shook his head slightly and smiled.
The two chatted a few more words and dispersed.
On the other side, Zhong Xuanlan did go home after seeing the old man, which also made Chun Zhi breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhong Tinghao saw that Zhong Xuanlan returned home safely and soundly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Girl, you're back, you're hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to serve you food." ”
Zhong Xuanlan paused and said loudly: "I'm still hungry now, I'll give you something." As she spoke, she threw the warm jade she got from the old man to Zhong Tinghao, "You will carve it in the next few days and give it to your grandson as a gift." "Save the day and night cooking for her!
Zhong Tinghao took the warm jade, looked at it and said, "I don't know how to carve, it's a pity that such a good jade is broken." ”
Zhong Xuanlan walked forward and said, "It's okay, anyway, you are idle, use other things to learn first, and then learn to get started." ”
Zhong Tinghao glanced at Nuan Yu, and when she raised her eyes to look at Zhong Xuanlan again, she was already about to walk into the hall, forget it, he carved it!
Here, Wang Xiao was already waiting for Zhong Xuanlan in the hall.
As soon as Zhong Xuanlan took his seat, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
After Wang Xiao saluted, he replied: "We have lost contact with the winter solstice, and Gongzi has encountered two attacks by unknown forces in the mountains. ”
Zhong Xuanlan saw a hesitant look on Wang Xiao's face, frowned slightly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Zhong You said that the winter solstice took the young master and two important guests out of the mountain. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Xuanlan was just about to go to serve the tea, as if nothing had happened, and continued to pick up the teacup, "You go to the mountain pass to guard, and let Zhong You go in to find someone." ”
Wang Xiao took the order and left.
Zhong Xuanlan sat alone in the hall drinking tea, but his thoughts drifted away.
Now that her every move is probably under the watchful eye of others, how should she behave......
Thinking about it, seeing that Mo Wen was coming, Zhong Xuanlan gathered his thoughts and asked, "Uncle Mo, what's the matter?" ”
Mo asked, "How are you feeling today?" ”
"I'm fine, why does Uncle Mo ask?"
Mo asked, "Wan Sanqi helped you develop a medicine to restore your martial arts, right?" Girl, I can tell you not to take it. ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, "After Yu Qing'er gave me the prescription for restoring martial arts, I handed it over to Wan Sanqi, and when he left Ganzhou, he gave me the medicine As for the side effects, he doesn't know, so I can't use it unless I have to do it." ”
"Girl, that prescription, Wan Sanqi showed it to me, I didn't expect him to develop it successfully, I also developed it, and let people try it, the pregnant person had a miscarriage, however, although her martial arts recovered, her body became weaker, and she relied on medicine every day to survive."
Zhong Xuanlan touched the medicine bottle in his sleeve pocket, and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "I know, I will dispose of the medicine." ”
Mo Wen nodded, checked Zhong Xuanlan's pulse again, and left when he saw that she was fine.
