Early the next morning, the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion got up early and began to clean the yard carefully, because today the eldest prince is going to bring the princess to the palace, but this is the first time, after all, it will be the New Year's Festival in ten days, and in the past, when it came to the New Year's Festival, the princes and concubines all had to enter the palace in advance, but this time, the eldest prince came to the Prime Minister's Mansion before entering the palace, which is enough to see that the eldest prince values their adults.

Dongfang Chunyan is still as usual, leisurely in the study, the ink pen is light, but with seriousness, carefully depicted one stroke at a time.

"My lord, you don't need to wait at the door first, the carriage of the eldest prince will arrive at the Prime Minister's Mansion in half an hour." Dou Ding said cautiously in front of Dongfang Chunyan.

Dongfang Chunyan lifted the ink pen and looked at Douding

"Are the beans ready?"

Dou Ding thought of poor Dou Li, his heart trembled, and he mourned a few words for him, and said

"Back to my lord, the beans are ready."

"Hmm." Dongfang Chunyan hummed lightly and didn't pay any more attention to the douding, and continued to paint on his own.

Dou Ding looked at Dongfang Chunyan, who did not move at all, his face was slightly stiff, he wanted to shout again and was afraid that he would be pitted by this adult who had a bad stomach, and he didn't know what reason to find a reason to pit himself, from the beginning of following the adult, he felt that the traps around him were unguardable, and the bones of the pit were all gone if he was not careful.

Dongfang Chunyan painted the painting with peace of mind, until there was a commotion outside the door, Dongfang Chunyan put away the pen and looked at the painting with satisfaction.

"The eldest prince has arrived, the eldest princess has arrived." The eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door, but Dou Ding looked at Dongfang Chunyan who was slowly cleaning up, and his anxious eyes were about to pop out.

"My lord, the prince and the princess have arrived." Peeweed reminded again.

Fall into the Red Tribulation

Dongfang Chunyan raised his head at this time, looking at the large group of people in brocade clothes outside the door, his eyebrows raised slightly

"Let's go."

"Dongfang Chunyan has seen the eldest prince and the eldest princess." Dongfang Chunyan bent over, but he didn't even want to bend his knees, he was indeed as arrogant as rumored by the outside world, but the eldest princess came here for the first time, and when she saw Dongfang Chunyan like this, her face changed slightly, but she saw that the eldest prince's face was still kind, so she didn't say anything.

Dongfang Chunyan glanced at the woman who was following the eldest prince Xiao Qi, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, but she was also a dignified and virtuous woman.

"Prime Minister get up quickly, this prince has come recently, and he doesn't want to see you salute." Xiao Qi looked at Dongfang Chunyan with a smile, but there was a hint of respect in his eyes.

Dongfang Chunyan hooked his lips slightly

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has just been renovated, the scenery is good, and the princess can watch it at will." Dongfang Chunyan smiled and looked at Xiao Qi's side, and said with a woman in a luxurious palace costume.

Seeing this, the eldest princess glanced at Xiao Qi, and when she saw him nodding, she also smiled and nodded

"I have heard for a long time that the prime minister's mind is unusual, I am afraid that the layout of this mansion must have a beautiful scenery, so the concubine will enjoy it by herself."

"Whatever the mother." Dongfang Chunyan smiled lightly.

The eldest princess bowed slightly to the eldest prince Xiao Qi, and then took a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law to another place.

The eldest princess left, but Dongfang Chunyan looked at Xiao Qi

"The eldest prince doesn't think I'm too lonely here."

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?" Xiao Qi looked at Dongfang Chunyan, he really didn't understand what he meant, but Edouding on the side couldn't help laughing, what adults don't like the most is a large group of women gathered together, and the strong smell of fat powder makes him feel uncomfortable, not to mention the adults who have always been a little clean. The unlucky life of cultivating immortals

Dongfang Chunyan's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he turned around and went to the pavilion on the edge of the study, the pavilion is octagonal, and the eight corners are decorated with small bells, and the wind blows and the sound of tinkling and pleasing is coming, but it is still this exquisite and exquisite octagonal platform, and there is a dignified name, Splendid Pavilion.

Xiao Qi just glanced at the octagonal pavilion casually, only to feel that it was too small and delicate, but the decoration inside was still atmospheric, the incense burner with curling smoke, and a coffee table with a high-quality purple clay pot tea set had been placed, and then there was an unfinished game of chess. In the middle of the pavilion is a high-quality guqin, behind the guqin is a bookshelf with all kinds of musical scores, in front of the bookshelf is a pot-bellied celadon vase, and in the vase there are a few delicate plum blossoms that have just been folded back and bloomed.

However, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a study for women.

"The prime minister's taste is becoming more and more unique." Xiao Qi looked at Dongfang Chunyan with the corners of his mouth hooked, and said with a smile.

Dongfang Chunyan just smiled and didn't say anything.

"The eldest prince came over today, what's the matter?" Dongfang Chunyan sat down, pinched the teapot of Zisha with his fair-skinned fingers, and began to make tea for himself leisurely.

Xiao Qi looked at Dongfang Chunyan, the smile on his face rested slightly, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes

"I came to find the prime minister today, but it wasn't because of the court, but because of the 、、、" Xiao Qi looked at Dongfang Chunyan in embarrassment, not embarrassed to say more.

However, Dongfang Chunyan hooked the corners of his mouth

"Is it because of the inner house?" Seeing that Xiao Qi actually took the princess out today, he probably guessed that his backyard was about to catch fire.

The concubine is fierce and mistakenly provokes the black prince

Xiao Qi nodded

"Prime Minister, Concubine Side, she is pregnant." Xiao Qi finally said it, although such things are inconvenient for outsiders, but his back house also involves his court.

Dongfang Chunyan's hand was still brewing tea, and he knew it in his heart, because the princess of the eldest prince must not know that the general's concubine was already pregnant with a dragon descendant, if he knew, the backyard would definitely not be peaceful. The eldest princess has always been known to everyone for being virtuous and dignified, but it is the lady of the main room who is willing to tolerate a-for-tat concubine who conceives a child before herself.

Women are really a curse, and women in the royal family are even more so.

"You came to me to tell you if you should keep this child, right?" Dongfang Chunyan asked with a smile.

Xiao Qi frowned and nodded

"Although the princess is virtuous, but the temperament is extremely difficult, if you know, I am worried that the child of the side concubine will not be able to be kept at all, but if the child of the side concubine cannot be saved, the general, I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction." Xiao Qi thought about it, after all, paper can't hold the fire, and the princess will never let go of that child, he is a big man, but here he came to consult the prime minister for the matter of the women in the back house, it is indeed not the same, but he has no way to take those women.

Dongfang Chunyan brewed the tea, and buckled the tea poured into the cup with another cup

"You will have a harem of three thousand in the future, and you still have to worry about it every day? If this is the case, I will also disappear, and I will repay your kindness back then, so as not to see you lose the great fortune of the Xiao family. Dongfang Chunyan sniffed the fragrance in the cup carefully, and then slowly picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Xiao Qi heard Dongfang Chunyan say this, but his brows frowned even deeper

"But their situation in the back house will also involve the family forces behind them, if I don't handle it carefully, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"
