Chapter 71: Confessing the Lord (Asking for Collection, Asking for Red Tickets)
February is still very cold, and all kinds of flowers and trees are just starting to bud. "The spring breeze in February is like scissors", which is really an apt reflection of the climatic characteristics of Beijing. In the back garden of King Xin's Mansion, there are only a few cold plums and moon seasons glowing green, and a large area of blue gray and misty sky makes people feel depressed. Only this early morning air makes people feel refreshed.
On this cold morning, there was a man wielding a scimitar as if to break the sky to pieces. This person is Zhu Youzhen, although he drank a few more glasses yesterday and first won the princess Zhou Yufeng, but his physique is different from ordinary people, and he has already been royal to Wan'er countless times, and this cave room flower candle cannot stop his demand for Void Pole Divine Skills.
Zhou Yufeng wore a verdant cotton jacket and a blue and purple long skirt, and the little woman watched Zhu Youzhen from a distance. She slept late last night, and she had to serve Zhu Youjian again, and there were faint black circles around her eyes and face, although she touched up her makeup three times, and observed carefully, there were still traces.
"Feng'er, why don't you stay in the house on such a cold day?" Zhu Youzhen had already finished practicing the Void Pole Divine Skill, and gently came to Zhou Yufeng, and stroked Zhou Yufeng's cheek lovingly with his big hand, "Look at you, your little face is red from the cold." If you don't take care of yourself, women are easy to get old. ”
"Your Highness." Zhou Yufeng didn't dodge, in this back garden, no one would come at this time, this place, like their new house, was a two-person world that belonged to them. She rubbed her little hand that was slightly red from the cold, and gently pressed it on Zhu Youzhen's big hand, "It's cold outside, Your Highness should go back too!" ”
The two hugged each other and returned to the new house, the new house was as grand as last night, but the mood of the two was beyond the initial expectation. "Feng'er, let's go to the dining hall to have some breakfast, and our bodies will be warmer."
"Yes." Zhou Yufeng agreed softly, and the head of the mantis clicked twice, but she was shy and refused to let Zhu Youzhen hug her, and after Zhu Youzhen repeatedly protested, she reluctantly let Zhu Youzhen hold her little hand.
Tables and stools had already been set up in the dining hall, as if waiting for the couple. "Wan'er, go early. I want a bowl of porridge, Feng'er, what do you want? Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhou Yufeng's delicate face, and it seemed that it was his best breakfast.
"The concubine will follow His Highness!" Zhou Yufeng lowered her eyebrows, in front of the servants of the palace, she couldn't let go. Fortunately, with Zhu Youzhen by her side, her mood was a little calmer.
Wan'er instructed the maidservants to bring out five or six kinds of breakfast, a few side dishes, and finally two bowls of porridge. "Your Highness, Princess, use it slowly. Wan'er is waiting here. ”
Zhou Yufeng blushed again for no reason, and her first experience made her extremely sensitive, as if everyone was laughing at her for her indulgence last night, especially Wan'er. When she saw Zhu Youzhen for the first time in Kunning Palace, Wan'er was by Zhu Youzhen's side, and she also knew the relationship between Wan'er and Zhu Youzhen, although Wan'er respected her a lot, she was still not used to it, as if Wan'er's big eyes saw through her thoughts last night.
"Your Highness, where will it be held?" Wan'er saw that Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Yufeng had eaten almost, so she kindly reminded that she didn't know where Zhu Youzhen would go crazy after a while.
"What confession?" Zhu Youzhen ate the last piece of pastry and asked Wan'er with slanted eyes.
"Your Royal Highness, the princess is in the palace at the beginning, and most of the servants and maids in the palace don't know each other, let them meet them one by one, and arrange errands for them in the future." Wan'er's heart was also uneasy, this was the official meeting between her and the princess, and she didn't know if the princess would accept her. She has a special relationship with Zhu Youzhen, which is different from other servants and maidservants.
"Oh." Zhu Youzhen understood, "Then it's in the hall, there are many people in the Qingong Palace, and you can't put it anywhere else." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The slave and maid will arrange it. Wan'er agreed, retreated, and arranged for Xiao Ning to clean up the dishes.
"Your Highness, what should you do?" Zhou Yufeng waited for Wan'er to leave, before asking about Zhu Youzhen, she had just arrived in a strange environment, she was still a little unaccustomed, especially the change of identity, it turned out to be a palace maid with a low status in Kunning Palace, and in a blink of an eye, she became the hostess of Miaoqin Palace, and she had not yet completed the change in her thinking.
"It's nothing, you are now the housekeeper of the Qinqin Palace, and the servants and maids are coming to know you, and you must also know them. It's as simple as that. Zhu Youzhen thought, this is a visit from the subordinates to the superiors, as long as the red envelopes are prepared, it is not difficult to win the recognition of the subordinates.
"Your Highness, what is the concubine going to do? When she came, the queen didn't tell her concubine. Zhou Yufeng suddenly had to face a large group of servants, and he was a little nervous, although they were just servants.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here! I'll be there for you. Zhu Youzhen gently pinched Zhou Yufeng's little hand, which was as tender as boneless, smooth and slippery. She is just an ordinary palace maid in Kunning Palace, I don't know how this hand is maintained, does Kunning Palace have a special maintenance method?
Zhu Youzhen is her day, with Zhu Youzhen's encouragement, Zhou Yufeng put her mind at ease, and the two came to the hall holding hands.
Wan'er had already arranged, in front of the main entrance of the hall, there was a mahogany chair, and the seat was covered with a thick silk quilt, probably because she was worried about the cold weather and the cold on the mahogany. On the periphery of the chair, the servants were already huddled together, waiting to meet their new master. Wan'er quietly came to Zhu Youzhen's side and whispered, Zhu Youzhen came to Zhou Yufeng's side with a smile, biting her ear and speaking, Zhou Yufeng couldn't stop nodding.
Zhou Yufeng sat on the chair and waited for the servants to come and pay a visit.
The order of this visit also reflects his status in the palace. Originally, the first person to meet Zhou Yufeng was supposed to be the special operations captain Wang Mujiu, but he was so happy last night that he drank so much that he didn't know what was going on in the world, and now he was still talking to Zhou Gong in bed. Therefore, the first person to meet was Xu Yingyuan.
Xu Yingyuan is in his forties and wears a blue-gray cloth robe. He straightened his robe and kowtowed to Zhou Yufeng respectfully: "The slave has seen the princess." ”
"Get up!" Zhou Yufeng seemed to be about to stand up, but Zhu Youzhen and Wan'er both signaled with their eyes, so she didn't stand up, "The housekeeper has always worked hard." He took out a small red envelope from the back of the chair and handed it to Xu Yingyuan.
"The slave thanked the princess." Xu Yingyuan stepped back, and then met Wan'er.
"The slave has seen the princess." After Wan'er knelt down, she bent to the end and knocked on the ground, her forehead was covered with dust.
"Wan'er, hurry up." This time, Zhou Yufeng ignored Zhu Youzhen's gaze, she got up from the chair mountain and helped Wan'er: "You and I are good sisters, don't like this." Zhou Yufeng took out the red envelope from behind the chair, and wiped the dust off Wan'er's forehead with a handkerchief: "Your Highness's diet and daily life have always been taken care of by my sister, and I have worked hard for my sister." ”
Wan'er was already rippling with tears, and her small mouth, which was as ingenious as a machine spring, was speechless at this time, just nodding desperately.
There are too many servants in the Qingong Palace, and they visit one by one, but they don't know how to worship until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, and later, according to their respective identities, five bows, or even ten bows. Zhou Yufengguang was busy handing out red envelopes, and none of the servants remembered it.
With so many servants, it is not realistic to expect her to remember them once, and it would be nice to be able to mix up a hot face. In fact, the "recognition of the master" of the Miaoqin Palace is not to ask Zhou Yufeng to remember these servants, but to let the servants know the master's mother. As a servant, if he doesn't even know his own master and mother, this servant is obviously unqualified. In addition, when there is a happy event in the palace, a large number of red envelopes are distributed, so that these servants can also be stained and improve their sense of identity with the palace.
After half an hour of busy work, the "confession of the Lord" finally ended. Zhou Yufeng was relieved, but Zhu Youzhen was busy again: "Ying Yuan, is the carriage ready?" "Today is the day when Zhou Yufeng officially became the princess, and Zhu Youzhen wants to take her to meet her elders. His parents have passed away, that is, he went to visit the four uncles and the royal brother and sister-in-law.
"Yes, Your Highness. The carriage had already been prepared. Xu Yingyuan agreed, originally Wang Mujiu was Zhu Youzhen's guard, but Wang Mujiu didn't wake up from a sound sleep, so he had to take a few soldiers of the special combat team to make a cameo appearance as Zhu Youzhen's escort.
Meeting the elders is a family matter, and in the order of the eldest and youngest, Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Yufeng first met the four uncles, and then Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan. After some tossing, when they returned to the palace, it was almost noon.
"Your Highness, Li Shen sent someone to report that the glass was made." Wan'er was still leaning on the middle door as before, quietly waiting for Zhu Youzhen to return home. When he heard the sound of the carriage, he immediately greeted him.
Originally, yesterday was Zhu Youzhen's big day, and everyone in the Qingong Palace had to come back to congratulate him, Kong Zhen, who was in charge of the cement factory, and Qian Hu, who was in charge of the brick kiln factory, all returned. But Li Shen did not attend Zhu Youzhen's wedding because the glass test was entering a very critical moment, and he had to sit in person.
"Glass?" Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, as if he saw the silver rolling towards the palace, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." Haha, I'll check it out in the afternoon. ”
"Your Highness, what is glass? What's the use? Zhou Yufeng only heard that Zhu Youzhen had opened a cement factory and a brick kiln factory, and he didn't know when he would start tinkering with glass again.
"Glass, good stuff. Feng'er, let's go to dinner first and talk while eating. Zhu Youzhen took Zhou Yufeng's hand and stepped into the palace together. Originally, Zhou Yufeng was shy and didn't let Zhu Youzhen hold her hand in public, but as long as Zhu Youzhen took advantage of her unpreparedness, he held her hand intentionally or unintentionally, which made her uneasy. Forget it, it's already his person anyway, and it's up to him if he wants to hold hands! Zhou Yufeng gradually convinced himself.
Wan'er had already called warm water and asked Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Yufeng to wash their faces.
"Wan'er, prepare food. I'm going to the glassworks in the afternoon. Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to leave immediately to see the first piece of glass in Daming.
"Yes, Your Highness...... Why are you still out of the house in the afternoon? "Wan'er is upset for Zhou Yufeng, His Royal Highness is overjoyed, didn't she give herself a holiday? The princess just passed the door, why did she hang it in the house? But she still went to prepare lunch, no matter whether Zhu Youzhen went out in the afternoon or not, this meal still had to be eaten.
Taking advantage of this time, Zhu Youzhen called Xu Yingyuan: "Yingyuan, I am an adult, I can no longer live in the inner palace, the imperial brother gave me a letter palace in the east of the city, and the matter of moving will be handed over to you." ”
