Chapter 18: Camouflage
The air seemed to be frozen, Gong Tianyao regretted it in her heart, and she forced her composure on her face, planning to find an excuse to slip away.
The two subordinates didn't notice anything wrong, and one of them said: "If you want to take medicine, our palace doesn't have anything, and it doesn't work when you eat it, only the medicine prepared by the princess doctor feels better after eating it." ”
Gong Tianyao was silent, she said a lot of mistakes, she still pretended not to understand anything.
"Go out first, and come and serve in something."
Song Zhao recovered a little, sent the two subordinates out, and leaned on the side of the bed to look at Gong Tianyao.
Gong Tianyao was furious by him, her eyes seemed to have no temperature, cold, as if she could see through what she was thinking, Gong Tianyao shook her head in her heart to dispel her ridiculous idea, and pretended to be indifferent: "The prince has a good rest, I won't bother." ”
As he spoke, he stepped back and wanted to turn around and leave, but Song Zhao spoke in time: "Slow down." ”
Gong Tianyao had no choice but to turn around: "Is there anything else going on with the prince?" ”
"How do you know that the medicine this king is taking is useless?"
Gong Tianyao had no choice but to say: "I just said casually, if it was useful, wouldn't your illness have been cured a long time ago, how could it have been delayed until now." ”
Her expression was serious, not like a lie, Song Zhao saw it in his eyes, and a certain string in his heart seemed to be inadvertently touched, which shocked him: Yes, if taking medicine is useful, there will be no today.
He didn't say anything, and waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”
Gong Tianyao got the words, quickly turned around and left, and only when he went out did he dare to pat his chest and stick out his tongue: "It's so dangerous." ”
Back at Zhuyin Academy, Lianxin hadn't come back yet, and Gong Tianyao couldn't help but be a little worried. These days, she looks at this coldly, Lianxin, this girl is loyal, she has nothing to say, but she doesn't know if she is reliable.
She sat on the chair and drank tea and waited, but it didn't take long for Lianxin to come back and report to her that the things had been delivered. Gong Tianyao was relieved at this time, looked at Lianxin's face, and couldn't help asking, "It doesn't hurt now?" ”
Lianxin was flattered: "If you go back to the princess, the slave and maid are no longer in pain, thanks to the princess's ointment, it is much easier to use than the commonly used in our house." ”
"That's it." Gong Tianyao leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, took the tea lid and plucked the tea leaves in the bowl, and said leisurely: "I wiped the medicine I made, and I will keep your injury for less than three days, and it will not leave a scar." It took me three days to make it! ”
The complacency in her voice was about to overflow, and Lianxin's mouth was rare for a while: "The princess is really amazing." ”
This girl really can't even shoot sycophants, a dry sentence, it's weird and boring. However, Gong Tianyao felt comfortable, put down the bowl, and stood up from the chair: "Isn't it time for lunch?" ”
After tossing for so long, her stomach was indeed a little hungry, and after lunch, she went back to her room to take a nap for half an hour, and when she got up, she was refreshed and wanted to go out for a walk.
It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, as soon as she came out and saw the stack of ledgers as high as a hill on the table, the emotions that were full and high just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Princess, this is the account book sent by Steward Zhao just now, he said that the prince said, I want you to take a good look at it, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you in the future."
Lianxin's voice was full of joy, it was not her who dared to suffer in love, Gong Tianyao pursed her mouth, reluctantly walked over and sat down at the table, picked up a book and flipped a few pages, and asked casually: "What else did Steward Zhao say?" ”
"Nothing else, just say that if you think there is anything wrong with this book, just send someone to ask him."
"Oh." Gong Tianyao was not interested, but he could only look patiently. Maintaining a high level of concentration is also a good habit she has developed in the army, so although she doesn't like to read these account books, by the time of the first shift, Gong Tianyao has read almost everything.
She also knows the income and expenses of the palace in recent years. However, Gong Tianyao closed the last ledger and thought thoughtfully.
There are problems with a few of these accounts at a glance, and it is impossible for a delicate person like Steward Zhao to make such a mistake, so the only possibility is that he is testing himself.
Lianxin yawned sleepily beside her, although it was not very late, it was too boring, it was really difficult for the princess to sit here for so long just to read these books.
At this time, she hurriedly went up to tidy up, and asked, "Does the princess have anything to ask Steward Zhao, it's late today, and the slave will go tomorrow." ”
"Let's just say that Princess Ben didn't see anything wrong." Gong Tianyao cut the railway, thought about it, and said: "Don't go tomorrow, and go again in three days, just say that the princess has a headache when she looks at these account books, and she only finishes reading it now, she has worked hard to manage Zhao before, and she remembers the account so clearly and meticulously, and she will have to help him in the future." ”
Lianxin nodded, and asked with some doubts: "But princess, haven't you already finished reading it, why do you say that it took three days to finish reading?" ”
"Which so why" Gong Tianyao didn't want to talk nonsense: "I'm tired, you serve me and rest." ”
Lianxin had to bow her head and agree, and remove her makeup and groom for Gong Tianyao. After the service, when she was about to leave, Gong Tianyao suddenly shouted at her: "Don't forget to retake the medicine before going to bed!" ”
Lianxin's heart was hot, and she hurriedly agreed, and then withdrew.
Three days later, Lianxin went back to Steward Zhao according to the words handed over to her by the princess, and Steward Zhao listened to it and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please rest assured, the princess, the old slave will definitely do her best." ”
After Lianxin left, Steward Zhao went straight to Song Zhao and showed him that the princess did not find any loopholes in the account book, and it took three days to read it.
After Song Zhao asked him to step back, he inexplicably felt that this matter was not so simple. Gong Tianyao was just the same in the past, but now she is the kind of stupid person who has no calculation?
Perhaps, she said this on purpose.
Realizing this, Song Zhao went to the Zhuyin Academy to test her.
He deliberately made a worried look, ignoring the greetings of the people of Zhuyin Academy, his steps were hurried, and he went straight to Gong Tianyao's room.
"Princess, where's the ledger?"
As soon as he entered, he asked.
Gong Tianyao was a little confused, so he asked Lianxin to move out the account books, Song Zhao picked up one and flipped it over, threw it away, and picked up another one, and so on, the worry on his face became heavier.
Gong Tianyao hadn't seen him so calm, and his first reaction was that something big had happened, so he came over and asked, "Is there something wrong with the account book?" ”
Hearing this, Song Zhao didn't raise his head, but still buried his head in the hard work, but there were too many account books, and he couldn't finish reading it for a while.
