Chapter Twenty-Three: A Moment of Peace

"Come in."

Shizi silently withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the military book in his hand, still holding a wolf brush in his hand. Recently, there have been a lot of things in the training camp, and the soldiers under him heard that he had recovered more than half of his illness, so they consciously reported the situation in the barracks, hoping that the prince could give some advice.

Shen Liangzhou took a brush and wrote a few letters to the soldiers, and the handsome and strong font stayed on the white letterhead, which made people praise again and again when they looked at it.

Although Xiaoli was born in poverty, fortunately, he has served several young ladies from scholarly families, and he has a little more aura in his ears and eyes.

"Shizi, your calligraphy is so good! Xiaoli is the first time in his life to see such a good word! ”

She is also quick to talk, and there is no flattery in what she says, and her simple and innocent appearance is very likable.

Shen Liangzhou unconsciously showed a faint smile, silently accepted her praise, and sent her to hand over the letter to the housekeeper.

"I'll trouble you with this."

His attitude has obviously become gentle, not as cold and cold as the people in the palace say. Xiaoli also felt a lot more at ease, and served the son more attentively.

After a few days, Qu Miaoyan and Shen Liangzhou are used to Xiaoli's existence, she is different from the previous Xiaoyan, although they are both maids, her temperament is more flexible.

Xiaoli also mingled with the other subordinates in the house, and everyone liked this new little girl very much.

After noon that day, I happened to meet the housekeeper who came back from the outside with the envelope, and Xiaoli was called over to take away the letter from the barracks, who knew that he also saw several letters with the smell of fat powder.

"Butler, what are these?"

She pointed to the pile of letters in surprise and asked, and the housekeeper did not shy away from it, and directly pointed out to her.

These are actually all love letters sent by all the daughters in the capital who admired him during Shizi's illness. Although he already knew that he had a concubine, this group of young ladies would not give up easily, whether it was a big tonic of the delicacies of the mountains and seas or the love tokens of these women's families.

"Princess Jing has instructed that the princess can't find these letters, and wants me to find an opportunity to burn them."

Princess Jing was also worried that it would hurt the hearts of these powerful ladies outside, and she was also worried about causing family disharmony, so she made this decision.

Xiao Li came to his senses, nodded and walked to the prince's room with the letter.

Soon after this incident, she also encountered a tricky thing, Miss Zhou of the Ministry of Rites has always been affectionate to the prince, she came to give a gift to Princess Jing as an excuse, and after arriving at the palace of King Jing, she went directly to the prince's chamber, and the strong appearance made it difficult for the people in the palace to do.

"Miss Zhou, the prince just took medicine and fell asleep, so it's better not to disturb you."

Xiao Li hurriedly stretched out his hand to block her way, and stubbornly guarded the door of the wing room without letting the other party in. Shen Liangzhou, who heard the movement inside, naturally understood what was going on, and he wanted to see how this little girl would end.

Miss Zhou is a domineering type, she didn't expect that a little maid would dare to stand in her way, so she suddenly glared back angrily, pinched her sharp voice and asked: "You are just a subordinate, a good dog does not get in the way, let me get out of the way if you know each other." ”

"No, the princess and the prince have explained that they can't let idle people wait in."

Xiaoli's temper has always been very stubborn, and no one has ever been able to stop her from doing what she wants to do. Miss Zhou was furious, and because of her identity, she couldn't make trouble here, so she took out a few pieces of broken silver from her sleeve and stuffed them into her little hand.

"If you give me wind here, maybe I can give you more benefits."

These tricks are quite useful against other subordinates, Xiao Li disdains these few pieces of broken silver, she has the double monthly money promised by Princess Jing, and she is completely blind to these.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhou, please go back."

She forced herself to squeeze out a decent smile, and persuaded the other party to leave in a good voice, even if she continued to coerce and lure her, she was unmoved.

The two of them were at a stalemate at the door of the wing, and Qu Miaoyan, who was called out by Princess Jing to receive the guests, noticed that something was wrong, and walked straight to the wings of the prince, who knew that she was really caught.

"Shen Liangzhou is really good at attracting bees and butterflies, even if he doesn't go out, he can provoke other people's hearts."

She couldn't help but complain, and she was understandable for her husband's charm.

Sure enough, the handsome people don't worry, and no one cares. Seeing that Xiaoli was becoming more and more vulnerable, she took action to relieve the siege and pulled Miss Zhou back.

"Miss Zhou, she is also a maid who follows the master's orders, so you don't need to be angry with her, right? Shizi has just taken medicine and slept down, if there is anything important, it is better to find out with me, and when Shizi has time, I will naturally help tell me. ”

Qu Miaoyan said a few words in two pounds, which made Miss Zhou's face flush.

was actually caught by the princess, and she clearly couldn't get angry, so she returned to the main hall with a pout.

With the tacit cooperation of the two, they finally succeeded in forcing Miss Zhou away.

After encountering similar situations several times, Xiaoli could successfully keep them out of the door by himself, which saved Shen Liangzhou, who was extremely bored.

Qu Miaoyan also saved a lot of time for perfunctory visitors, she took care of Shen Liangzhou in the wing room with peace of mind, and the relationship between the two was getting better and better, and they could even sit down to drink tea and chat, and talk about interesting things in King Jing's mansion.

"I think Xiaoli is a good girl, if the prince agrees, I plan to teach her to read and write, and it's not bad to be a scholar who reads with her."

She knows the fate of the maid very well, Xiaoli is still a little girl after all, and there is still a long way to go in the future. After she has been a little maid for a few years, she will naturally be married to ordinary people, and then she will have to live a life of serving her husband, a woman's life should not be like this.

Shen Liangzhou could hear the intention of her words, and nodded in agreement after pondering. Anyway, after he fully recovers, he will naturally have to run around the court and the barracks, and the personal maid will be very useless.

"It seems that the princess likes Xiaoli a lot, so it's better to let her serve you."

He teased with a smile, why should the husband and wife divide you and me, isn't his personal maid hers?

Hearing his ridicule, Qu Miaoyan just smiled faintly and perfunctorily past. During this time, she has been with Shizi for a long time, and she has figured out the other party's temperament.

Although Shen Liangzhou looks cold and arrogant on the surface, he is also a cold-faced and hot-hearted man, although sometimes she is so angry when she talks and does things, but after all, she is sick, and she has to treat him patiently.

"Shizi has the strength to tell jokes, it seems that my medicine has achieved good results, then I will give you a few more medicines, and drink a few more courses of treatment to get better faster."

Qu Miaoyan squinted her eyes with a smile, the medicine she prescribed was extremely bitter, even more uncomfortable than drinking coptis water, Shen Liangzhou couldn't help but flush sour water when he thought of that weird taste, and the two sword eyebrows frowned tightly.
