Chapter Ninety-Four: My Sister

Who is A-Ning, about this mystery, Xiao Mingche did not get an answer, because he did not have a chance to ask.

Since reaching a consensus with Xiao Mingche, Li Fengming has started to clean up the interior of the Huai Wangfu non-stop.

She asked Aunt Jiang for the roster of servants in the house, and sat in the small courtyard until night.

In the past, the Huai Wangfu had Xiao Mingche as a master.

He is very good at serving, and rarely takes the initiative to make detailed requirements in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everything only needs to comply with the regulations.

Therefore, there are not too many people in the mansion, except for the waiters during the period of the county king's mansion, that is, he added a little before and after his wedding to Li Fengming.

There are not many people, no matter how miscellaneous they are, Li Fengming was busy until this night, and completed the first step of the purge.

It's not a big deal, it's just that Li Fengming hasn't bothered like this for a long time, and he is a little tired.

After bathing and changing, she leaned on Chun Yudai like a boneless and was helped back to the bedroom.

was surprised to see Xiao Mingche standing under the eaves of the porch outside the bedroom door, and immediately burned his face.

His Royal Highness Li Fengming still has to make a face, and it is really embarrassing to be bumped into by someone who looks like he is chirping.

And her way to divert embarrassment is to pretend that nothing happened, and pick another one to make the other party more embarrassed.

"Eh, you're waiting for me?" She flattered Xiao Mingche exaggeratedly, "Could it be that if I don't go back to the room, you won't be able to sleep?" ”

Xiao Mingche's body stiffened, as if he clenched his teeth: "If I sleep first, you will wake me up when you come back." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went back to his room, writing "too lazy to pay attention to you".

He is so embarrassed, Li Fengming is not embarrassed.

She entered the room with a smile, and teased unrelentingly: "If you are really afraid of being disturbed by me, won't you go back to the north courtyard to sleep and have nothing to do?" After explaining so much, it still waits for me in the final analysis. ”

The folk proverb always advises "to be a man and leave a line", which makes sense.

Xiao Mingche couldn't stand her deliberate teasing, quickly took off his robe and entered the bed tent, and slammed the lights out the moment she bypassed the screen and entered the inner room.

Caught off guard and plunged into darkness, Li Fengming could only stretch out his hands and grope his way forward.

When she successfully sat on the edge of the bed and removed her shoes, she sneered and muttered, "Childish." ”

When she fumbled to get on the bed, she realized that there was something more naΓ―ve-

Xiao Mingche steadily occupied the outer half of the bed, standing still.

"Sleep in." Li Fengming pushed his shoulder through the quilt.

He replied softly: "You sleep on the inside, and you will be like this for the rest of you." ”

In fact, it didn't matter whether Li Fengming slept on the inside or outside, but Xiao Mingche suddenly set the rules so solemnly, which made her confused.

Li Fengming got into bed in the dark, stepped over him carefully, and lay down in the quilt.

"What's going on? Wait until I clean up the prince's eyeliner......"

"If only you could find people and put them in a less important place, you don't have to clear out of the house." In the dark, Xiao Mingche's voice sounded a little strange.

Li Fengming yawned and closed his eyes and muttered.

"Makes sense. With a little leeway, the prince is less likely to be suspicious. In the future, when necessary, you can also use the mouths of these people to let the prince know the news you want him to know. ”

"Hmm." He does have this consideration, but he also has another layer of selfishness.

Li Fengming laughed gloatingly: "Then you will be miserable." I had to endure the discomfort and pretend to be in the same account with me every now and then. ”

This is another layer of selfishness of Xiao Mingche.

After being silent for a long time, Li Fengming, who was half-asleep and half-awake, let out a vague puzzled voice: "Then what does this have to do with you and me sleeping on the inside?" ”

The confusion Li Fengming was very different from the daytime, which provoked Xiao Mingche to bend his lips: "You talk so much, go to sleep." ”

"The surname is Xiao, you are excessive. I've worked hard for you, and you still hate me...... Not. ”

Xiao Mingche pulled up the quilt with his backhand and covered her mouth.

I was so tired that I had to be helped when I walked, and at this moment I began to spit out my words, and I had to mumble and get to the bottom of the trivial things of "who sleeps inside and who sleeps outside", isn't this a lot of talk?

He just thought that if there were assassins, the people sleeping outside would bear the brunt.

It's as simple as that, what's there to ask.

Some things were carved into Li Fengming's bones.

State affairs and family affairs seem to be different from each other, but in fact, the internal laws are similar.

She judged that in the eyes of the prince, King Heng was the real evenly matched opponent, and Xiao Mingche was just a scrap, it was enough to stare at the movement, and there was no need to spend too much thought.

As long as you understand this, it is not easy to deviate from things.

Li Fengming decided that the eyeliner that the prince placed in the Huai Wang's Mansion would not be a special work that had undergone strict training, and most of them would use small favors to buy people who were already in the mansion.

As Xiao Mingche said, there is no need to make a big deal about such people, or even to clean up the house. As long as you find them, you can keep them in the controllable range of the house, and if you need them in the future, you can also let them use them for the opposite.

Chun Yudai and Xin Wei can keep up with Li Fengming's pace.

The two of them are one literate and one martial, one bright and one dark, and they cooperate with Li Fengming seamlessly, pointing out that the east will never fight the west, and they can also fight against the third. In this way, things will go more smoothly.

By the third day, they had secretly "plowed" dozens of people in the backyard of Huaiwang's Mansion several times, and roughly screened out a few suspicious people.

Li Fengming divided the affairs of each court and refined the powers, designated people and responsibilities, and arranged the transfer of these suspicious people without a trace when everyone was nervously discussing this change.

Whether in the palace or in the eyes of the outside world, this movement in the Huai Wangfu is more like Princess Huai is idle, deliberately playing prestige and setting rules on her own territory.

In this way, the purpose of the purge was achieved peacefully.

In the three days that Li Fengming was busy, Xiao Mingche never left the house.

Except for routinely going to the martial arts arena every morning and watching the latest papermaking sent by Zhan Kaiyang in the north courtyard room, he always followed Li Fengming quietly at other times.

Li Fengming was puzzled: "Xia Wang's appointment is imminent, why are you so idle?" What's the matter with me in the house all day long? ”

Xiao Mingche didn't hide it: "I want to see what you want to do." ”

"Oh, you want to steal the teacher?" Li Fengming was happy, "If you sincerely ask me, I am very willing to give me everything, just give me some 'academic qualifications'." ”

Xiao Mingche raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "How can I have the money to pay you for your education." ”

The key to the treasury is in this woman's hand, could it be that he first asked her for the key, and took the money from the treasury to give it to her? The left hand is down to the right hand, and there is nothing to do.

Li Fengming didn't expect the key to the treasury at all, he only thought that he was playing perfunctory, so he deliberately embarrassed him.

"It doesn't hurt if you don't have money. Seeing that you look good, His Royal Highness Li Fengming kindly allowed you to promise your academic qualifications, do you dare? ”

"Frivolous." Xiao Mingche glanced at her, raised his legs and left.

Li Fengming disagreed: "It's not too frivolous, right?" I'm negotiating with you. If you don't want to, I won't force you to ...... in broad daylight."

"Shut up!" You also know that it is broad daylight, so you still open your mouth to come?

Although he had roughly guessed Li Fengming's identity, Xiao Mingche was still deeply touched by watching her act with his own eyes.

In just three days, she methodically dispatched Chun Yudai, Xin Wei, and Uncle Jiang to sort out the personnel in the house, and did not arouse any suspicion from the outside.

Although the matter is not big, but a glimpse of the whole leopard, she showed a sober mind, calm means, a vision of people, and the courage to judge things in the process, which is enough for discerning people to understand what an outstanding person she is.

In the concept of Qi people, women are weak by nature and are easily swayed by emotions, so they are embarrassed.

Therefore, it has always been quite controversial for the Qi people to look at the Xia State under the current empress and the Wei State ruled by the emperor and queen.

From Li Fengming, Xiao Mingche clearly saw the answer: whether a person can take on a big responsibility has nothing to do with whether it is a man or a woman.

At this moment, he looked at Li Fengming, who was talking to Aunt Jiang, with his spare eyes, and couldn't help but let out a convincing smile in his heart.

It turns out that no matter what country it is, the prince is the prince.

Some things that Xiao Mingche thinks are complicated and impossible to start, but when Li Fengming comes here, he can analyze them in three or two clicks.

This is the gap between the prince and the ordinary heir.

Li Fengming sat at the table, pointed to the two names on the roster of the North Courtyard, and seriously answered Aunt Jiang's question.

"They have no relatives in Beijing, and they first sold themselves through the tooth store to enter the government. That's why I'm insisting that you transfer them out of the North Yard. ”

Prior to this, Li Fengming never interfered in the affairs of the house, was easy-going and had no pretensions, and treated Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang with respect and courtesy.

This was the first time Aunt Jiang saw her vigorous and resolute momentum, and she became nervous inexplicably.

Aunt Jiang first peeked at Xiao Mingche, who was sitting under the window in silence.

Seeing that he seemed to be deaf, he had no choice but to answer Li Fengming's words: "However, these two people were ...... when His Royal Highness was still the king of the county."

"That's not important, loyalty has nothing to do with the length of time. In many cases, it is more uncontrollable to use the uncarried. The north courtyard is the daily living place of His Royal Highness, and if there are no foreign guests, he also deals with official affairs here, which is the top priority of our palace. ”

Li Fengming interrupted Aunt Jiang's Dan and tapped the roll call with his fingertips.

"I have made up my mind, and I will not change my mind at anyone's intercession. For the time being, move these two people elsewhere, what to do, you and Uncle Jiang will discuss it, I won't say much. ”

Those two are old men of the palace, and they have been on an errand in front of Xiao Mingche for several years, and there is no big mistake. Now that they are going to be transferred out of the North Courtyard for no reason, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang will inevitably have scruples on their faces.

Seeing that Li Fengming was very tough, and Xiao Mingche clearly didn't care about it, Aunt Jiang didn't dare to say anything more, so she responded.

Li Fengming looked at Aunt Jiang and smiled lightly: "If you and Uncle Jiang don't know how to talk to them, just push me." If they complain about me behind my back, you don't have to be too restrained, let them talk about it, and I won't pursue it. ”

"How does this work?" Aunt Jiang was shocked.

"How can this not be done? At most, they just complain behind their backs and say a few small things that don't sound good, but they don't come to me. ”

Li Fengming didn't care about this little thing at all.

"As Princess Huai, the palace is my responsibility. There is no separation between responsibilities and disadvantages, and people cannot only have benefits and not bear bad consequences. ”

Any decision made by the person in charge to change the status quo will be more or less burdened with some criticism and dissatisfaction, which no one can change.

Li Fengming was once the person who was expected to take on the national throne, if his strength was so small that he couldn't even tolerate the complaints behind the backs of a few waiters, he really had been taught for more than ten years before.

It took three days to finally solve Xiao Mingche's worries, and Li Fengming was very pleased.

But she has a lot of work ahead of her.

That night, she lay on the bed and chattered to Xiao Mingche's back. "In the middle of the month, I entered the palace to listen to the queen's teachings, I went alone, you are busy with yours, don't care. I can handle it, and I won't get you in trouble. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Mingche took two sips of warm water, put the cup back on the small round table, and turned to walk to the bed.

"But at the end of the month, when you go to Dicui Mountain to visit Grandma, you have to go with me." In this matter, she is mainly thinking about Xiao Mingche.

"We're not in the same situation as others. You grew up under your grandmother's knees, and even though she was serious and cold when you were young, she didn't treat you harshly. ”

If Xiao Mingche is not in Beijing, it is understandable for her to visit the Empress Dowager alone.

Now that he is in Beijing, if she is the only one who goes, it will seem that Xiao Mingche is very cold, which is not a good thing for his reputation.

"Okay." Xiao Mingche extinguished the light, and thought absentmindedly, he used to hate that Luo Ji night fragrance, but tonight he changed to Youlan incense, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Also, in the morning, Aunt Jiang said that the ninth day of the next month is the birthday of Princess Fujun, and asked me what birthday gift I would give. I'm not sure about that, you say. ”

Gift-giving, it is said that it is important to focus on the heart, but in fact, the most important thing is to look at the friendship.

Li Fengming only knew that King Fujun was Xiao Mingche's cousin, but he was not sure what the situation between Xiao Mingche and him was in private.

Xiao Mingche sat on the edge of the bed, and after a little muttering, he said while removing his shoes: "Maybe you can buy pearls and give them away." ”

A few days ago at Tantuo Temple, King Fujun said that Princess Jun wanted a new pearl dress.

Speaking of pearls, Li Fengming suddenly wanted to beat his heart and liver again.

In the darkness, she gritted her teeth and waved her fist at Xiao Mingche's figure.

As soon as her mind turned, her eyes suddenly rolled around, and her smile was treacherous.

"Eh, His Royal Highness King Huai, I have been helping you these days, but I have done my best and worked hard, and I haven't even bothered to ask about things in the shop. Shouldn't you make amends? ”

Xiao Mingche had just been lying down in the bed, and when he heard her evil smile that was obviously "harboring evil intentions", he suddenly stiffened.

"How to compensate?" His heart was beating fast, and his tail note was slightly unsteady. After speaking, I felt that my mouth was dry and my throat was tight.

Li Fengming turned sideways to face him, resting his head on his arm, and answered the question: "I have heard that Fujun Wang and his wife are childhood sweethearts?" ”

"Yes. Princess Fujun's father, Cao Zhe, was Xiao Mingxun's mentor in the past. ”

"Everyone said that they were very affectionate after marriage. Is this true? ”

"Well," Xiao Mingche was a little confused, "what exactly do you want to ask?" ”

Li Fengming snickered: "Don't care, you wait for me to finish asking first." What about you? Is there a small plum too? ”

"Nope. You don't know who is in the palace. ”

Li Fengming thought about it too.

Qi men and women are defensive, and the class barriers are more stubborn.

No matter how unfavored Xiao Mingche is, he is also a prince, and the people he can contact when he is young are very limited, and there are not so many girls for him to know.

He was in Qian Zhaoyi's palace before he was nine years old.

Not to mention that Qian Zhaoyi won't let him have any playmates, even if he does, the most people who can play with him in the palace are his blood relatives' half-brothers and sisters.

After that, he was taken to the palace by the Empress Dowager.

Although there are some young maids in the palace, but Mama Hua, who is in charge of the palace, is not a vegetarian, who dares to act recklessly and get to the five princes to go to the "childhood sweetheart"?

"Well, before the marriage between the two countries, is there any noble girl who is ready to be your wife?" Li Fengming asked.

Xiao Mingche's throat rolled: "No." ”

Ordinary people can't climb the prince's family affairs, and they can't climb the prince's family family, and they won't consider Xiao Mingche.

Emperor Qi was almost laissez-faire to Xiao Mingche, and he used it when it came in handy, and when he didn't use it, he seemed to have no son, and when he was in a bad mood, he would find fault and borrow money from Zhaoyi's hand to abuse him.

Such a miserable prince, even if a noble girl secretly promised him, the family would not agree.

Li Fengming's laughter became sweeter: "What about after opening the mansion as an adult?" In the past few years, sometimes in Beijing, sometimes in the south, you have met a lot of people. Do you have that kind of ...... in your heart Want to give someone a pearl dress? ”

"Nope. Aren't you talking about pearls? What do these do, you ask? Xiao Mingche's heart was beating faster and faster, and his brain was already in chaos.

When he was young, he was afraid that others would speak in such a tortuous way, because he often guessed the meaning of others' words.

This woman is unusual, and abruptly asks him about his non-existent "love history". Hearing that he had no past, he smiled so sweetly......

Could it be, and what do you want to mention about personal promises and so on?

Xiao Mingche thought about it in a panic for a long time, and finally decided viciously: If she mentions it again, then promise her.

Isn't it just a combined account? It's not that it won't. Who is afraid of whom.

Li Fengming was overjoyed: "I just want to talk about buying pearls!" ”

Xiao Mingche bought back the box of pearls from the daughter of Tantuo Temple, and he was really wronged. She was like a fish in her throat, and her heart hurt when she thought about it.

Although the money of Huai Wangfu is not her money, she is still angry.

"Since the prince and his wife are in love, the king of Fujun is willing to spend a lot of money for the princess of the county; You don't have the kind of girl who wants to give a pearl dress to someone, so that box of pearls is idle. It's better to be a favor and sell it to him at a higher price! ”

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and even kicked her legs happily.

"As for the birthday gift, whatever you buy and give it away, you don't have to spend a lot of money. In this way, you can finally take off the hat on your head! ”

Xiao Mingche slowly closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and forced the turbidity full of ups and downs out of his chest.

It took a long time for him to squeeze out his emotion from between his clenched teeth, and he had mixed tastes.

"You told Aunt Jiang that you couldn't see me suffer a little loss, and I believed it."

She has teased him three times and twice recently, obviously she really wants to share a round house with him, right?

At this moment, the two are lying side by side in the tent, which is undoubtedly the right time and place. And she just wants to help him earn back the money he lost on buying pearls at a high price.

In a trance, Xiao Mingche was a little helpless.

He wasn't sure if this woman was in love with him and put his interests first in everything; Still heartless, not interested in him at all.

The villain she has changed
