Shen Tingnian didn't have much energy to support his jaw, stirring the cold soup in the porcelain bowl with one hand, Min Yun on the side stepped forward to take the box, did not open it, only said seriously: "There is labor and stewardship to send it hard, and the trivial matters of Changxinyuan will also depend on you in the future." ”

and the steward hurriedly said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's all what an old slave should do." ”

He is very attentive and respectful, which is obviously completely different from the previous vegetable steward, but it is no wonder that he is doing this, if it weren't for Shen Tingnian's revelation at the grandson's birthday banquet that the provincial government was buying to fill his pockets, and shoddy, he forced the grandson to come forward to investigate, and removed seven or eight stewards in one go, half of whom took the relationship between the princess and entered the palace, and the work of the provincial government to distribute the palace examples would not fall on his head.

This matter is not a big deal in the eyes of the nobles, but it is not a trivial matter in the eyes of the palace people below, especially those palace maids and eunuchs who have been oppressed by the steward for many years, and the steward has a good impression of Changxinyuan.

He tried his best to express his heart before withdrawing.

Shen Tingnian didn't listen to a word, put down the spoon, raised his eyes and saw Zhiya pinching the gift list and smiling stupidly, and curled his lips slightly, "Let you be responsible for counting and storing the warehouse, and it's not a reward for you." ”

"The slave doesn't want it for herself." Zhiya grinned twice, "We don't lack these things, and they are all silver." ”

Shen Tingnian finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Then I'll leave it all to you." ”

"Well, I'm done." Before Zhiya finished agreeing, Min Yun over there came over to pull the list, looked at it twice, and said a few more words, "Look at those things carefully, if they have the mark of the inner palace, they can't be handed over, so have more snacks." ”

Zhiya immediately retracted his expression and nodded seriously.

###

Changchun Palace.

The crown princess came back from the Qianqing Palace with the prince's attendant, and the prince went out as soon as he took off his formal clothes, and the princess came out after changing her clothes, looked at a table of prepared lunch, and raised her hand when the palace attendant was about to remove another pair of dishes and chopsticks, "Go and call the princess." ”

The weather was already hot to the point of sweating when she went out, and after the princess entered the door, she first asked the maid to clean her face, and after taking a seat, she smiled at the princess with her reddened cheeks, "Mother, Jingyi is out of shape." ”

"What kind of stupid words, it's so hot this day, it's hard for you, let's cool down first," the crown princess pushed the mung bean cold soup at hand, "Don't worry, I just called you to talk about homely things." ”

Zhao Jingyi had a good relationship with the crown princess when she was still a show girl, to be precise, it was the crown princess who took a fancy to her, dignified and elegant, smart and steady, and could afford to sit in the position of the princess, in fact, it is true, for more than two years, she has taken care of the princess palace in an orderly manner, and has never made any trouble.

Zhao Jingyi hurriedly took the cold soup and smiled awkwardly, she was still trying to explain, the crown princess had already understood, she glanced at the grandmother behind her, and the latter stepped forward to take the cold soup down.

"We don't have to be like this, and it's inconvenient for people to send a message, and we don't have to come here."

Zhao Jingyi smiled, "The mother concubine usually doesn't look for me much." ”

In other words, looking for where she will not come, the two chatted a few words, and then began to eat, both of them are from everyone's beautiful background, eat and sleep, and the inner room is quiet for a while.

When the crown princess put the chopsticks, Zhao Jingyi also waved her hand one step behind, and the maid stopped giving her vegetables and accepted the chopsticks.

"The more the sky is getting hotter, the ice rules of each palace are going to be arranged." The crown princess said, with a slight headache, the annual ice and charcoal cases are the most competitive in the harem, and they are also the most troublesome.

"Mother, this summer's ice case in Taisun Palace is only half of that of previous years." Zhao Jingyi had long heard that the emperor had been making trouble recently, and several concubines had fought in order to earn a place to serve in the Qianqing Palace.

"Where it's your turn to worry about this, there will be no shortage of Taisun Palace." The crown princess smiled, and she turned her head again and instructed Mama, "Bring the prescription." ”

Zhao Jingyi's relaxed demeanor was silently tense, she lowered her eyes, suppressed the complexity in her eyes, and from the moment she revealed that her little day was coming, the crown princess was clearly disappointed at that moment. Even if they don't show each other, emotions ooze out silently.

Although she has only been in the palace for two and a half years, she has a great responsibility, the grandson is already twenty-two, but there is no half son under the knees, which is rare in the history of the Great Zhou royal family, it is said that the current prince, at the age of sixteen, has a son and a daughter, although the eldest son died before the age of three, but in his heirs have always been the most prosperous among brothers.

It's probably because the prince is too amorous, the grandson didn't like to play with girls when he was a child, and he didn't like to provoke women when he grew up, the only time was to fight with the emperor's uncle for women, and he didn't fight...... So much so that he was not willing to get married until he was twenty years old, and he also accepted two side concubines and three imperial concubines in one go.

"This is an ancient prescription given by a new doctor in the Tai Hospital, to recuperate the body, you take it back, if you lack anything, just tell me, go to the library to get it."

Zhao Jingyi smiled and took it with both hands, there was a lot of bitterness in her heart, but she couldn't say it. The crown princess may know that it is not such a simple matter to conceive a child, the princess of the Taisun Palace is the least serving, and the others have served a lot of times, but there is no movement - you know, after the beginning of spring this year, the princess personally spoke, and invited the princess and the two side concubines to invite the imperial doctor, and prescribed the right prescription for food supplements.

Listening to her gentle and kind entrustment, Zhao Jingyi felt more and more that the prescription in her hand was hot, and a thought that had been simmering in her mind for a long time sprouted and grew in an instant.

Fortunately, the crown princess didn't bother for too long, and soon talked about other things.

"On Xu'er's birthday, how could Shen Jieyu attend?"

The crown princess did not inadvertently mention this matter, but the movement of the grandson to rectify the provincial mansion, she was really a little surprised, when the emperor handed over the power of the inner provincial mansion to the grandson last year, he didn't pay much attention, who should be used or the original team, two years have passed, she did not arrange her own people to go in.

Zhao Jingyi answered, her tone was a little helpless, "This Shen Jieyu ...... I don't care about anything on weekdays, but it's never too late to receive my monthly salary. ”

The grandmothers who were listening were a little surprised, and even Zhao Huan, who followed Zhao Jingyi out, quietly pricked up her ears.

The crown princess smiled, "It's a sincere child." ”

Those stewards didn't expect the boat to capsize for this reason.

After waiting, Zhao Jingyi was afraid that the crown princess would be unhappy, so she hurriedly said, "I'll teach her well when I go back......"

"It's not her fault." The crown princess didn't say anything else, and stopped at the point, "Look at you, you're sweating again, why don't you change your clothes first." ”

Zhao Jingyi originally wanted to talk more about Shen Tingnian to the crown princess, but when she looked at the eyes of the grandmother beside her, it was transparent in an instant - the crown princess was not happy with Shen Tingnian, she had to stand up and say goodbye, and the princess really didn't stay much, just let her go back and not be greedy, her body is important.

On the way back, Zhao Jingyi said to Zhao Huan, "You go and inquire why the crown princess doesn't like Shen Tingnian." ”

Many things will only be detected when they are detected, and some hidden clues will be discovered, the prince and concubine dare to embarrass Shen Tingnian in the Changchun Palace, and a little steward dares to deduct the concubine's monthly salary...... Even the Taisun Zhaoyi Shu family has given Shen Tingnian a lot of looks in the past two years, why should she make enemies with an inconsequential person if she is not stupid?
