Yun Chuhan is not there, Qu Lingxue is crazy, and she has been recuperating for a long time. The Chu Palace's mansion seems to have become a pot of porridge.

However, Mrs. Liu thought of it as soon as Qu Lingxue went crazy, and she should come forward for a long time. This genuine princess took this opportunity to firmly grasp the housekeeping power in her hands.

Actually, I thought about it for a long time. Not for stewardship, though. As the princess of Chu, she must take responsibility at this time. Otherwise, it will be spread out and ridiculed.

It's okay for others, I don't want the so-called father in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the mean stepmother to think that she is a waste.

Don't steam steamed buns, fight for breath. Since her grandfather wants to help Yun Chuhan ascend to the throne, then she should be the queen.

What kind of family affection, what kind of love, for a long time, let all those who despise her kneel at her feet.

He carefully put on his makeup and covered the scars on his face with a thick layer of powder. However, the scars can still be seen.

The scar on the forehead is a little lighter than the one on the face, and it is almost impossible to see it with a little more powder. After a long time, he covered the scar on his forehead and put on a white veil.

In this way, the scars are no longer visible.

Li Jiujiu nodded in satisfaction and stood up. Biluo helped her to walk out.

I wore a pink dress for a long time, which was delicate and elegant and unassuming. On top of the high bun, there are pearl flowers made of pearls, and a peony swaying.

Although Biluo strongly recommends the red peacock dress, it is better to choose a more elegant one for a long time. For red is the color of the main chamber. At this time, he was dressed so gorgeously, and he looked like a powerful villain, eager to prove his status.

The headdress, elegant and not shabby. One golden peony is enough. Then the pendant is elegant, and the pearl bead flower is just right.

Mrs. Liu opened the door of the Peony Pavilion. There were already a lot of people standing outside.

The two guards at the door were still a little worried.

Li Jiujiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the prince didn't say that he wouldn't let me come out." After all, I'm recuperating from my injuries, and if I don't come out for a walk, won't I get moldy. ”

"That's what the mother said!" The two guards hurriedly chimed in.

"Say hello to the mother!"

Outside the Peony Pavilion, the maids, the grandmothers, and the little maids knelt down to say goodbye to the long time.

Kanazawa brought a few chief guards over and knelt down as well.

"Get up." The voice of Jiujiu was not loud, but it revealed a faint coldness, which made people can't help but want to be cautious.

Li Jiujiu continued: "I think you also know that because of his poor physical condition, Qu Ruren can no longer manage the trivial affairs of the palace. Now, the prince is not in Beijing. The remaining few beautiful concubines are also not qualified. ”

An elderly grandmother hurriedly responded: "Niangniang is the princess and the mistress of the Chu Palace. The slaves and maids all listen to the mother. ”

"The slaves and maids are all subject to the demolition of the mother." The others hurriedly said.

After a long time, I saw that this grandmother looked very clever and quite pleasing to the eye, so he said: "There are many people in this house, I can't remember that grandma was on an errand in that room in the palace." ”

Mama hurriedly said: "Niangniang, the slave's surname is Zhou, and she is just in charge of teaching the little girls to make some simple snacks in the dining room." ”

"Since Mama Zhou is an old man in the palace, she must be very familiar with the situation in the palace. Later, you can stay and talk to me. ”

After listening to the words of the long-term departure, Mama Zhou hurriedly responded: "The slave obeys the order." ”

"Kanazawa." Lijiujiu shouted.

"Humble duty." Kanazawa gave up.

"During the period when the prince is away, we must strengthen vigilance and don't let suspicious people slip into the palace." Lijiujiu said.

"Obedience." Kanazawa said.

Li Jiujiu nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu and Bi Luo took out some silver from their sleeves and distributed them to the stewards of each room.

"Thank you for the reward!"

And the stewards of the chambers gladly accepted the heavy sum of money. After a long time, she is no longer the poor princess she used to be. Before Yun Chuhan set out on the expedition, he specially ordered the account office to send a box of silver, for fear that in the days when he was away, someone would be snub and leave for a long time.

And Yun Chuhan's jewelry that he gave to him for a long time is even more valuable.

It's just now that it's used, you can take care of the palace up and down.

"Don't worry, there's a reward. The others went to the account office in a moment to get the money. "Looking at the people below with their heads bowed for a long time, for the first time in his life, he experienced a feeling of condescension.

"Xie Niangniang!" Everyone said in unison.

After walking a few steps away from Jiujiu, he said, "Don't worry about thanking you first." I'll take those things in the past. But in the future, I think you should all understand. I don't have to be picky. ”

"Understood! Slave maid understands! "Some people are weak in heart and hurriedly agree.

Then, everyone saluted to Lijiujiu together: "Slave and maid understand. ”

Kanazawa looked at the long time, and a subtle feeling arose in his heart. He hadn't seen her much before. Occasionally, I met her, but I bowed my head and saluted, and I didn't dare to raise my head to look at her fluff. At that time, she probably didn't have much impression of herself.

Because of the long time I have been away, my heart is full of clouds and Chuhan. And Kanazawa is just a small guard.

But now, Kanazawa is standing so close, but he still can't see her face. However, he was content.

It doesn't matter what kind of face is under the veil. Kanazawa actually felt that she knew herself enough. And her voice, as always, was beautiful.

"I guess you've all heard about the Furong Pavilion, right? Qu Ruren was not in good spirits and talked some nonsense. Did you all hear what she said? ”

As he spoke, he stopped in front of a maid: "Did you hear what Qu Ruren said?" ”

The maid was slightly stunned, and immediately became nervous. She opened her mouth and spoke to her throat, but swallowed it back alive.

After a long time, his gaze fell directly on the maid's face. The maid hurriedly shook her head and said, "Niangniang, the slave maid has never heard anything Qu Ruren said, and she has never heard of it. ”

Li Jiujiu smiled slightly, turned his head, and asked the others: "Have you all heard what Qu Ruren said?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, I haven't heard it."

"I'm tired, go down." After speaking, he turned around and walked into the Peony Pavilion for a long time.

Everyone left, but Mama Zhou stayed.

Mama Zhou smiled and walked in behind Jiujiu.

Bi Luo gave the remaining two ingots of silver to the two guards guarding outside the Peony Pavilion.

"The two eldest brothers have worked hard." Bi Luo said with a smile.

"It's not hard, it should be! The mother is so polite! The guard said happily.

"It's a chore, I know. But the two eldest brothers are conscientious, and the mother will not treat you badly. After Bi Luo finished speaking, he walked in with a smile.

One of the guards touched the silver ingot and said, "We will have to do our best in the future." When the Winter Snow Courtyard was burned, not only did Niang Niang not blame us, but also asked us to atone for the crime. Moreover, the mother is too generous! I've been in the palace for several years, and this time I've rewarded more than all the previous ones combined! ”

"That's it!" The other nodded repeatedly.

Inside the Peony Pavilion.

Mrs. Liu helped her to sit down for a long time.

"Mama Zhou, how long have you been in the dining room?" Leave for a long time.

Mama Zhou replied with a smile: "Back to Niangniang, the slave maid has been in the dining room for most of her life. When I first entered the palace, I was in charge of lighting the fire, and it burned for several years! ”

Li Jiujiu smiled and said, "Mama Zhou, I heard that the position of the second steward of the dining room is vacant, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

When Mama Zhou heard this, she immediately knelt down: "The slave is willing to smear her mother's liver and brain, and she has no two hearts!" ”

Li Jiujiu glanced at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu helped Mama Zhou up with a smile and said, "Mama Zhou, you are an old man in the palace, so you naturally understand it in your heart. This Peony Pavilion, in the final analysis, can only be lived by mothers, and others are not worthy. Although Qu Ruren was ordered by the prince to take care of family affairs. But now she's crazy. Even if she wasn't crazy, it was already a blessing for her to be able to live in the Hibiscus Pavilion. ”

"That's nature. Niangniang is the serious hostess of the palace. Mama Zhou said.

"In that case, does Mama Zhou know how to do it?" Lijiujiu asked.

Mama Zhou nodded and said, "Niangniang, let's start with the dining room." ”

"Biluo, move a stool for Mama Zhou." Away from the long command.

Mama Zhou waved her hand again and again: "Niangniang, I can't help it, just stand and say it." ”

"Niangniang cherishes Mama Zhou's elders. Mama, in the future, you can do your best for your mother, naturally there are many benefits! Bi Luo smiled and put the stool down.

"Thank you, slave. And the slave and maid began to speak. Mama Zhou sat down with a smile.

Mama Zhou said seriously, and listened carefully for a long time. First there is the dining room, then the internal affairs room, then the accounting room and laundry, and then the treasury......

"Mama Zhou, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Biluo brought a cup of tea.

"Xie Niangniang." Mama Zhou took the tea and drank it in one gulp.

Li Jiujiu looked at Mama Zhou and asked, "I haven't seen Concubine Li for a long time." Mama Zhou, how is she now? ”

"Niangniang, tomorrow the slave will go and take a look." Mama Zhou said.

Li Jiujiu turned his head and said to Mrs. Liu: "Mama, you can go to the dining room and tell the steward later." In the future, Mama Zhou will be the second steward of the dining room. ”

Mama Zhou smiled happily. She hurriedly stood up: "Xie Niangniang, from now on, the slave is just the slave of the mother!" ”

"You go down first." Lijiujiu said.

Mama Zhou walked out of the Peony Pavilion and felt that she was walking with the wind. She thinks that she has not done anything bad and has the ability to cook good dishes, but she has been aggrieved in the dining room for so many years. Now that I'm older, I can only teach the little girls to make some simple pastries. It's good now, it's time to be happy to fall from the sky, and it's time to raise your eyebrows.

"Thank you, princess!" Mama Zhou said as she walked.

The situation that Mama Zhou said just now has been roughly understood for a long time. It's just that some people don't have the right number.

"Miss, the slave maid went to the dining room before, but she was blinded. This Mama Zhou has never given the slave maid a white eye. However, it is better to be careful if you know people and faces. "Bi Luo is still a little worried.

Li Jiujiu took off the veil and handed it to Mrs. Liu, and smiled smoothly: "I don't let her kill people and set fires, what are you worried about?" ”
