"Your Majesty, what the minister is going to say this time can't be known to outsiders, only the emperor and you."

Nangong stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Lan Hongzhen nodded.

"I'm sure the orcs have appeared."

"Who?"

Lan Hongzhen raised his eyes and slowly stood up from the couch, his somewhat cloudy eyes flashing with surprise.

"This ...... This person is right next to the emperor. ”

"Around me?" Lan Hongzhen frowned, "You? ”

Nangong shook his head, "No, it's not a subordinate, it's the second prince." ”

……………………………

On this day, the Neon Clothes Warehouse opened its doors as usual. Although Yun Die and Ye Luoli were not there, the few embroidery girls inside, as well as Xiao Zhi, who was becoming more and more capable, were not lazy, and did what they had to do conscientiously.

Now there's one more person here, and that's the fat girl. The fat girl who was selected by Yundie to know martial arts and has nowhere to go.

At this time, the fat girl is still so fat, but it is not so obvious to wear the clothes designed for her by Yundie, with a black placket on the upper body, and a dark embroidered skirt with a high waist at the bottom, the skirt is long to the ground, elongating the proportions of her figure, and the waist is slightly cinched, giving people the illusion that she still has a waist.

The hair on his head is in a high bun, the whole person looks tall and big, and the figure is slightly plump.

Despite this, the fat girl's movements are shocking.

There was a carriage on the side of the street, and on it was the new cloth purchased by the Neon Clothes Storehouse, and there were no men in the shop, and they had to do all the rough work themselves.

Of course, it's also to save money.

"Hurry up, I have to send it home!"

There are not many goods in the neon clothes storehouse, so the master who rushed to deliver the goods was very impatiently urging. Other families all gave them some silver taels to help them move, but this neon clothes hangout was never willing to go. This is also one of the reasons why the master is not very happy.

"Come on, come on! Don't rush, don't rush! ”

The fat girl took small steps with her skirt in her hand......... No, she rushed out of the shop with as many steps as she could, and ran to stand in front of the carriage.

"Why do you grind every time? Speed, I'm still busy! ”

The man who drove the car muttered unceremoniously at all.

"Yes, yes, let's move here and now."

The fat girl kept nodding her head, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed together. When Fang Niang and the others came out, they saw that she had already carried several thick bundles of cloth on her shoulders alone, and was throwing off her arms and striding towards the store.

"God? She moved all by herself? ”

Fang Niang's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the "female man" who walked in front of her, and said in surprise.

"Isn't it? It's all moved, or is it all done at once, where did Miss Yun pick up the baby from? It's completely up to two big men! ”

Not only Fang Niang and Yin's family, but even the coachman also looked straight, the first few times it took others to run several times to finish moving, but this time......

"What kind of woman is this? It's obviously a man's wife! ”

The coachman shook his head and drove to the next house.

"Boom!"

The fat girl threw several stacks of cloth on the workbench inside, almost shaking the basket of scissors on the table. Xiao Zhi hurriedly took the tool basket farther away and said, "Lighter, how can you be as rude as a boy?" ”

"Hehe, my grandfather used to say that I was born of the wrong gender, or I might not be able to go to the front line to make a career and earn a general."

The fat girl clapped her hands and smiled, revealing two small white tiger teeth.

"What's the use of having a lot of light like you? The general must also know the art of war and strategy, otherwise, he is a reckless man who is brave enough to be killed by the enemy soon, and what about the general? ”

Xiao Zhi hit her without hesitation.

"The Art of War? I also know a little bit, grandpa taught me to read and learn words, okay? It is... It's just that we don't allow girls to go to private schools there, and the family can't afford to hire a husband to teach, so we don't know much. ”

"Yo, do you really know the art of war?"

Xiao Zhi sorted the cloth on the workbench into categories, and joked about the fat girl, obviously not believing.

The fat girl replied heartlessly, "That's it, otherwise what's the use of me learning martial arts?" Talking about physical fitness to the outside world is just fooling people. ”

The two chatted and quickly finished their work. Looking at the raw materials of different colors neatly placed on the shelves, Xiao Zhi clapped her hands and nodded with satisfaction with her hands on her waist.

Since changing masters, her mood has been much better, and her life has been rushed. Now the dots inside and outside the store mainly rely on her. Even she would never have dreamed that she was no longer a slave, but a person with flesh and blood and passion, who did not have to look at the face of her master to live.

"Xiao Zhi Xiao Zhi!" Qu's rough voice came from outside.

"Hey!"

Xiao Zhi hurriedly turned around and exhaled a long breath,

"Wow, life is getting better and better! Let's work! ”

She trotted outside, "Aunt Qu, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Xiaozhi, there is a dress here, which was asked by the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and said that she would let the shopkeeper personally send it, but Miss Yun is not here, so I have to let you go."

Qu folded a luxurious woven gold jacket skirt, put it in a gift box that they had customized, and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

Hearing that she was going to the prime minister's house, Xiao Zhi's face turned pale, she took the box and asked, "Which prime minister's mansion?" ”

"It's just that the east end of the street turns around and then crosses a few streets south of the Tian Prime Minister's Mansion, haven't you been there? I haven't been there either. Qu Shi paused for a moment and said as if unintentionally, "Oh, by the way, I heard that the young lady of his family is one of the side concubines of the Prince's Mansion!" ”

Xiao Zhi's hand trembled, and the box in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Sure enough, it was their home.

What to do?

The only people here who know her origin are Yun Die and Ye Luoli, and now that they are neither of them, who can find a way to find out by themselves?

When I looked up, I saw the fat girl open the door curtain and walked out, wiping the jet-black whip in her hand as she walked, the whip looked black and shiny, as if it had been coated with a layer of wax.

That's right, fat girl!

"Fat girl, go, go out with me."

Xiaozhi has a plan in her heart, isn't this the reason why Niangniang asked the fat girl to come to the store in the first place?

That's the fat girl's forte, the maid?

Hehe, she couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart, and the worries just now were long gone. Even if you really can't fight the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't there still a mother?

"Where are you going? Going to fight? ”

The fat girl came over with a whip and asked.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but laugh, "Go and send clothes to the prime minister's wife, as for the fight....... she deliberately sold it, "Maybe it will!" ”

"Really?"

As soon as she said fighting, the fat girl seemed inexplicably excited, since she came here, she was served with good food and drink every day, and she would not be a female celebrity, every day when she watched other people busy, she could only fight and do some rough work, at first she felt nothing, but after a long time, she always felt that her heart was not a taste.

That's not all she should have done.

"I just said maybe, if others don't mess with us, we don't have to fight, let's go, you can accompany me on a trip, I don't dare to enter that kind of house alone, for fear of being blasted out."

Xiao Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go."

The fat girl strode ahead with her whip and went to find the carriage.

Xiao Zhi instructed Fang Niang that if she hadn't come back within three hours, she would let her go to the Prince's Mansion to find Niangniang, saying that she had gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

An hour later, Xiao Zhi and the fat girl came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a carriage, and in front of the solemn and magnificent gate, the three big characters of the Prime Minister's Mansion were particularly conspicuous.

"Why don't you get out of the car?"

The fat girl saw Xiao Zhi staring at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, and asked suspiciously.

"It's useless to get out of the car, others won't let you go through the front door."

Xiao Zhi explained.

"Really? I'll give it a try. ”

"Eh....." Before Xiaozhi could reach out and pull her, the fat girl jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the doorman.

"Who? What for? ”

The porter stepped forward to stop the fat girl and asked unceremoniously.

"We're here to deliver clothes to the Prime Minister's wife, please let us in."

The fat girl still saluted and said.

"Do you want to go through the front door? Think beautifully! Go to the side door! ”

The porter said unceremoniously, turning away from her.

The fat girl had to hang her head and return to the carriage.

"How? I'll just say I won't let you in, you still don't believe it, let's go, let's go to the side door. ”

Xiao Zhi said with a wry smile.

"I don't understand, if it weren't for the boss's order to deliver the clothes to the guests in person, and then let her check and collect the balance after checking, I really don't want to go in, just give the clothes to those people, what kind of side door?"

The fat girl pursed her lips and got angry, and her small nose was sunk in the big fleshy face, which looked a little cute.

Xiao Zhi smiled and comforted softly, "Forget it, don't be angry, big families are generally like this." Do you think everyone is as approachable as our boss and doesn't have a shelf at all? ”

Speaking of the boss, the fat girl's face finally softened a little, and she also knew that it was the crown princess, but she treated them like friends and partners, and she didn't have the arrogant appearance of a high-ranking person at all.

"Let's go, go to the side door."

Xiao Zhi instructed the coachman.

Turning a street corner, it is the mansion of Tian Zechun, Prime Minister Tian Cheng.

The side door was small, with only one small door, and the carriage could not enter. Xiao Zhi asked the coachman to find a random corner and park, waiting for them to come out after delivering the clothes.

The one who opened the door for them was a short teenager, who looked like he was only eleven or twelve years old, Xiao Zhi knew, his name was Xiao An, in fact, he was fifteen years old, I don't know if it was because of malnutrition or what, he didn't grow much taller.

"Little ...... Brother, we are here to send clothes to the Prime Minister's wife, please let the little brother lead the way. Xiao Zhi almost shouted, but fortunately stopped in time.

"Come in, Madame in the main hall."

Xiao An glanced at Xiao Zhi and said in a low voice.

Fat Ya and Xiao Zhi followed Xiao An all the way, through a small garden, then on a small bridge, bypassing a flower hall, and finally came to the side hall of the main courtyard after many twists and turns.

"You wait here, I'll go and ask Madame to come over."

Xiao An went out after speaking, leaving only Xiao Zhi and Fat Ya there not knowing what to do.

The fat girl is purely because she has never been to this kind of place, and Xiaozhi has other worries.

She touched her face and thought to herself, they shouldn't be able to see it, right?

"Madame has arrived."

The sound of the maids came from outside the door, followed by the sound of steady footsteps accompanied by the sound of ringing cui, and the two people in the room immediately stood up in an orderly manner.

The fat girl couldn't see anything, Xiao Zhi's palms began to sweat, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head.
