Zhou Ming hugged Lin Taohua all the way and walked a long way with the things they bought.

"Brother Ming, I'm heavy, am I tired?" Lin Taohua took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat beads on Zhou Ming's forehead, and asked with a smile.

Zhou Ming chuckled: "I feel very lucky to be able to carry such a weight for my husband." The lady is the weight that the husband never wants to unload. ”

"Sweet words." Lin Taohua blamed him for his poor mouth, but his heart was as sweet as drinking honey. She leaned on Zhou Ming's chest softly, listening to the powerful heartbeat in her ears, and only felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

"The owner." Ji Yu hurried from nowhere.

"Put me down." Lin Taohua said softly.

Zhou Ming gently put her down, and asked Ji Yu with a slight gasp: "Why did you run here?" ”

Ji Yu probably has been looking for a while, and he is a little out of breath.

"Dongjia, the princess who went to the Igil Khanate and her relatives passed through Qingzhou and stayed in the mansion, and the lord asked you to go back quickly."

"The Khanate of Igil? Princess Duanhui's family honor guard doesn't go to Qingzhou Mansion, what are you doing in my mansion? ”

Zhou Ming had long known about the fact that Jinguo sent the princess to the Igil Khanate to make peace, but the dignified princess couldn't stay in Qingzhou Mansion, and it was a little inexplicable to go to his house in Wulunke County, where he had not yet taken office.

Ji Yu didn't know anything about political affairs, and shook his head blankly after listening to Zhou Ming's question.

"Go back." He took Lin Taohua's hand and hurried home.

When they got home, Bai Yuan and Hu Jianyi were waiting at the door, and took a step forward and said, "Lord Zhao is already waiting in the study." ”

Zhou Ming nodded, went back to the room to change into clean clothes, asked Lin Taohua to make up, wait to see the princess, and then went to the study to see Zhao Hankun.

"I've seen Lord Zhao." Zhou Ming bowed and saluted.

Zhao Hankun waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Zhou Ming was very puzzled and asked, "My lord, why did Princess Duanhui stay in my house?" ”

Zhao Hankun said: "I don't know, there is also the emperor's decree that came with the guard of honor, asking you to receive Princess Luan by name, and escort the guard of honor to Baizhou Mansion." Now most of the escorts live in the Mansion Guest House, and only the princess and the palace maid escort stay with you. Brother Ming, the royal majesty should not be offended, it is better for you to place your family elsewhere for the time being. ”

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly and said that it can only be like this now. After sending Zhao Hankun away, he took Lin Taohua to the backyard to ask for a meeting.

Zhou Yuan and his wife, who originally lived in the backyard, moved out, hurriedly changed the bedding decoration, and invited the princess to live in.

Zhou Ming was afraid that Lin Taohua would be too lively, so he collided with the princess and caused trouble between his words and deeds, and told her to be cautious in his words and deeds along the way.

Lin Taohua used to watch TV, but now that she really wants to meet these nobles, she can't help but be a little nervous, mainly because the privileged class in this era can easily pinch her to death as an ordinary person.

"I see." Lin Taohua nodded hurriedly.

Zhou Ming saw that she was a little nervous, and took her hand with a smile, "Don't be afraid, you just need to follow me, everything has me." ”

"Hmm." Lin Taohua grabbed Zhou Ming's warm hand, but she was silently complaining in her heart. If she wants to see the president, she must be curious and excited, and now she is even more frightened to see a princess, which is really sad.

The two came to the main hall, and Zhou Ming asked the palace maid standing at the door to go in to report.

Lin Taohua quietly looked at these palace maids wearing palace costumes, one by one stood respectfully in their positions with their hands clasped, bowed slightly, stood docilely, walked lightly and rhythmically, and spoke in a very light voice, in the elegant incense, the whole room was very quiet, and standing in the outer hall, you could hear the sound of turning books in the room.

"Lord Zhou, princess, please come in." The palace maid who went to report said to Zhou Mingfu slightly.

"There is a female officer." Zhou Ming said politely, and then motioned for Lin Taohua to go in with him.

Lin Taohua was half a step behind him according to what Zhou Ming said, and followed without squinting.

"Wulun Kezhi County Zhou Ming see Princess Duanhui." Zhou Ming clasped his hands and bowed.

Lin Taohua hurriedly followed, "Concubine Lin, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Excuse me, sir." Princess Duanhui leaned over slightly and motioned for Zhou Ming and Lin Taohua to get up.

"I came here suddenly, disturbing the purity of adults, and please don't blame them." Princess Duanhui said very kindly.

Zhou Ming smiled: "Your Highness's stay in the humble house is the saint's trust in Weichen, and it is also an honor for Weichen, Your Highness must not say so." His Royal Highness lives here, and if he lacks anything, he should inform his wife, and he should not be polite. ”

"Then I will disturb Madame."

Lin Taohua hurriedly said: "It is the duty of a concubine to serve His Highness, and I dare not bother with His Highness." ”

"Hehe, I heard Li Niangniang say that Mrs. Zhou is smart and lively, why didn't she even dare to raise her head when I came here." Princess Duanhui said half-jokingly.

Lin Taohua was embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Zhou Ming, and then confessed and looked up at Princess Duanhui.

Princess Duanhui's facial features are still very exquisite, and she is looking at Lin Taohua with a smile.

"Sure enough, it's a heavenly fragrance, and my lord is so blessed."

"Your Highness has won the prize." Zhou Ming gave his hand.

"It's getting late today, so I won't leave adults and couples to taste tea." Princess Duanhui said gently, then took off the red bracelet on her right wrist, put it on Lin Taohua's hand, and said with a light smile: "This bracelet was given by my mother, and I was very happy when I saw Mrs. Zhou for the first time, so I gave it to Mrs. Zhou." ”

Lin Taohua was flattered and hurriedly bowed down to thank her.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, and Weichen will retire." Zhou Ming bowed down and bowed again, leading Lin Taohua to retreat.

Lin Taohua followed Zhou Ming out of the courtyard for a long distance before he dared to relax, and immediately grabbed Zhou Ming's arm and said, "Brother Ming, do I have to worship often in the future." ”

Zhou Ming tapped her nose and whispered: "The wall has ears, be cautious these days." ”

Lin Taohua stuck out her tongue, swept the empty yard, and stood honestly.

Zhou Ming looked at her pretending to be humble and felt that it was quite cola, so he took her into his arms and said with a smile: "Wait for your husband to be promoted, let others come to worship you." ”

Lin Taohua glared at him, "Aren't you afraid that the wall has ears at this time?" ”

Zhou Ming smiled and said: "I am a man, I love my own lady, what does it matter if I hug me?" ”

"I'm a woman, and I'm not reserved when I pester, isn't it?" Lin Taohua rolled her eyes.

"Haha, let's take you away for my husband." Zhou Ming smiled heartily, picked up Lin Taohua and strode towards the main courtyard.

A grandmother came from the direction of the kitchen with a clean face water mixed with rose juice, and just saw Zhou Ming walking out of the arch with Lin Taohua in her arms, and her brows immediately furrowed tightly.

Walking into Princess Duanhui's room, she put the cleansing water and soaked it in a silk handkerchief. Princess Duanhui leaned over, the two palace maids stepped forward and gently grabbed her hair, and the old lady gently held a silk handkerchief to moisturize and cleanse her face.

Wiping the water on her face, Mama handed the face purification water to the little palace maid and brought it out, and then asked Princess Duanhui softly: "The slave maid just saw a man and a woman going out of our courtyard, but the emperor's newly sealed Wulunke county order came to visit the princess?" ”

Princess Duanhui nodded, "Exactly, how does Mama Feng look at Mrs. Zhou?" ”

Mama Feng sneered: "The fox who can't get on the table." ”

Mama Feng is the old mama who is used to Concubine Liang's side, this time Duanhui and pro-Igil Khanate, Concubine Shu was afraid that she would be alone and unassisted, so she assigned Mama Feng to her. Therefore, Duan Hui treats Mama Feng more closely than others, and her speech is a little casual.

At this time, hearing Mama Feng say that Lin Taohua was a fox, Duan Hui smiled: "Why did Mama say that? ”
