In the early morning of the next day, Linghu followed Cen Junhan to the front hall early for breakfast. As soon as Linghu saw that all the dishes were no longer big fish and meat, his mood was much better, and his food was more comfortable.

When Steward Zhou saw this, he probably understood why the prince prepared the dishes lightly yesterday, but his own prince would not admit it, and stood aside and smiled.

After breakfast, Cen Junhan entered the palace and went to the court.

Cen Junhan didn't stay long before returning to the house, and Steward Zhou followed behind, reporting on the recent matters in the mansion.

"Steward Zhou, you go and clean up the Qinqing Courtyard, and the princess will go in and live in two days." Cen Junhan put down the things in his hand and said.

"This, this is unacceptable. Rajah. When Steward Zhou heard that the princess was going to live in Qinqing Courtyard, he was very frightened, "Lord, just after your wedding, you sent the princess into the cold courtyard, if it is spread to the saint, it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction." ”

"This is requested by the princess herself, and it has nothing to do with this king." Cen Junhan glanced at Steward Zhou and said.

"Princess?" Steward Zhou was very puzzled, "This, the old slave will do it immediately." "One prince is elusive enough, and now there is another princess, what a headache. Steward Zhou exited the room and thought secretly.

Steward Zhou picked some capable maids and slaves before going to Qinqing Courtyard.

"You say, why did the prince clean up this Qinqing Courtyard? Could it be that the princess made the prince unhappy and was punished by the prince here? ”

"That's not exactly. This princess has been in the palace for two days, and she has angered the prince. ”

The two house slaves muttered as they cleaned up.

"You two don't work here, what are you chewing on the root of your tongue!" Steward Zhou heard it clearly not far away, "The matter of this prince and princess is also nonsense from you, if it is heard, you two don't have to save their lives." ”

"Yes, yes, the little ones will go to work." When the two house slaves heard this, they hurriedly ran to work.

After reprimanding the two house slaves, Steward Zhou left Qinqing Courtyard and went to do what he had to do.

Linghu didn't have much fun staying in the room, fiddling with the tea set. "Sure enough, it's the prince, I have nothing to say about this tea."

All the procedures, Linghu is completed like a cloud. Fang Ling watched fascinated from the sidelines.

"Here, taste." Linghu handed Fang Ling a cup.

"Jingshu, I think your tea is better than before." Fang Ling took the teacup and took a sip, although Fang Ling didn't know what tea was, but after all, she had been a maid in the Xiangfu for so long, and she could still taste some doorways.

"Princess, the ninth princess is here. The prince told you to go to the front hall. At this moment, a maid came in and said.

"Got it." Linghu put down the teacup and got up, "Fang Ling, order someone to bring my white jade porcelain bowl." And this tea, let's take it too. ”

"Yes."

Linghu arrived in the front hall and saw that Cen Jingyue was already sitting there.

"Yue'er has seen the third emperor's sister-in-law." Cen Jingyue jumped down from the chair and ran to the spirit fox.

"Yue'er is here, why don't you order someone to say it in advance, the third emperor's sister-in-law is ready to prepare." Linghu pulled Cen Jingyue and said.

"Sister-in-law of the Third Emperor, there is nothing to prepare for, Yue'er used to come to the Three Emperor Brothers' Mansion when she was free." Cen Jingyue sat down with Linghu, "However, when I came here before, the three emperor brothers were busy with official business and had no time to pay attention to Yue'er. But now there are three imperial sisters-in-law who can accompany Yue'er. ”

"Well, then Yue'er will come to the house more often, otherwise the third emperor's sister-in-law will also stay by herself, which is boring." Linghu is not in the palace like in the prime minister's mansion, he can do anything, now he can only stay in the house for a while, otherwise he will walk in the courtyard, "Yue'er, you come and taste it." This is what I just soaked. As he spoke, a maid brought the tea.

Cen Jingyue picked up the teacup and took a sip, "En!" Third Emperor Sister-in-law, I have been in the palace for so long, and I have never drunk such delicious tea. ”

There was a touch of light blue floating in the teacup, and a few wisps of light smoke were warm, Cen Jingyue only felt a smell of tea slowly from the end of her nose to her throat, and her limbs were indescribably relaxed, so she couldn't help but take another sip.

"Third Emperor Brother, you can taste it too." Cen Jingyue poured a cup and handed it to Cen Junhan.

Cen Junhan took a sip unceremoniously, she really didn't expect her to have such a good skill in making tea.

"Fang Ling, do you have any things?" Linghu asked Fang Ling behind him.

"Princess Hui has already brought it. But now? Fang Ling changed her usual name for the spirit fox.

"Bring it to the princess."

"Yes."

For a moment, Fang Ling was holding a huge brocade box in her hand.

Fang Ling carefully placed the brocade box on the table and slowly opened it, and Cen Jingyue hurriedly stepped forward.

"It's so beautiful." Cen Jingyue very carefully picked up a white jade porcelain bowl.

The bowl is extremely delicate, and the bottom to the body of the cup is white and flawless, without the slightest impurities, and has a faint purple glow at the edges. The lilac pattern on the lid of the cup opens from the edge to the center. The edges of the boat are also purple, gradually fading inward, and then white again when you reach the center.

This cup is extremely thin, as if this light can be passed through, in the sun, you can't see whether this is jade or porcelain, round and smooth, people can't put it down.

Let anyone see it, and they know that this is a rare treasure.

Even Cen Junhan, who has never taken this seriously, couldn't help but look at it twice.

"Oh my God, the Third Emperor's sister-in-law. This must be precious. Cen Jingyue gently put the cup back, and spoke softly, as if the sound would shatter it. The third sister-in-law must love it very much, and she can't ask for it this month. ”

"Since the third emperor's sister-in-law has already promised Yue'er, how can she not count." Linghu smiled, "Besides, this set of tea sets is not only this set, if the third emperor's sister-in-law wants it, you can find it again." As long as Yue'er lives up to it, the third emperor's sister-in-law will not feel pity. Linghu walked over, pulled Cen Jingyue, and sat down.

"It's... Thank you to the third emperor sister-in-law that month. Cen Jingyue listened to Linghu's words and accepted it, "Don't worry, the three emperor sisters-in-law will definitely treat them well, and the third emperor sister-in-law will definitely drink the best tea." ”

Looking at Cen Jingyue's sworn appearance, Linghu pursed her lips and smiled, "The third emperor's sister-in-law is waiting!" ”

Cen Junhan looked at them, and suddenly felt like an outsider, and no one paid attention to him.

"Ahem" Cen Junhan coughed dryly, "This king still has some important things to deal with, since the two of you can talk like this, then Yue'er will stay today, it just so happens that your third sister-in-law is a little bored." The king of Ming Japan will send someone to send you back to the palace. ”

"Really?!" When Cen Jingyue heard this, she hurriedly jumped up, "Third Emperor Brother, you are so good." This is the first time that the Three Emperor Brothers have kept her in the mansion, and it seems that she has to "stammer" this Three Emperor Sister-in-law.

Linghu was stunned, how did he know that he was bored? Is it obvious that you are acting a little?

"Yue'er, do you want to eat something delicious?" Linghu asked Cen Jingyue next to him.

Cen Jingyue instinctively nodded.

Linghu smiled, "Let's go, I'll make something to eat for you." "It's not so much that Cen Jingyue wants to eat, it's better to say that Linghu is hungry for it.

Linghu entered the kitchen, but he jumped at the big and small maids in the kitchen, saying that he wouldn't let her get started.

Linghu had no choice but to give up and instruct them on the side how to cut and marinate meat. After all the processes were done, Linghu taught them how to do it.

It's a pity that there are no tools, otherwise you can bake and eat. Linghu had no choice but to pinch his waist and watch them busy. From time to time, I have to step forward to guide, and when the maids bring it up, Linghu tasted it, and the taste was not bad.

"Okay, you keep one of these two plates to eat for yourself, and the rest has to be served to your prince. These two princesses took them to the ninth princess. Linghu picked up two plates and was about to leave.

The maids stepped forward to help, but Linghu refused. "By the way, don't dare to eat it, even if this princess rewards you." Linghu was afraid that they would not dare to eat, so he left a word before leaving.

When the maids heard this, they were relieved to eat.

"Yes, it's delicious." A maid tasted it and exclaimed.

Aunt Zhang nodded again and again on the side, "Oh, send this to the prince." Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered that there was still the prince's share, and hurriedly asked someone to send it to the prince.

In the end, it was Steward Zhou who brought the plate to the prince in the study.

"Lord Wang, just now the maid brought you a plate of dim sum, saying that the princess personally cooked it." Steward Zhou brought up a plate of yellow fried chicken breast.

"Put it down." Cen Junhan reviewed the folds in his hand and did not look up.

"Yes." Steward Zhou put down the plate and withdrew.

Cen Junhan, who was originally concentrating on reviewing the folds, was attracted by this fragrance, and unconsciously put a piece in his mouth.

The taste is really good, I didn't expect her to have this hand. Obviously, yesterday she said that she was in a cooperative relationship with herself, but today she sent a snack made by herself, Xiao Jingshu, are you playing this trick with this king?

Thinking of this, Cen Junhan unintentionally hooked the corners of his mouth.

It's a pity that Linghu, in the spirit of living in harmony with his allies, was ruined like this.

In the courtyard, Cen Jingyue saw Linghu bring in two plates.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, what is this?" Cen Jingyue asked.

"This is fried chicken breast, you can taste it." Linghu handed Cen Jingyue a pair of chopsticks.

"Yes, it's delicious." Cen Jingyue ate a piece and couldn't help but praise it.

"Don't eat too much, it's not good for your health." Linghu saw that Cen Jingyue had been eating, "Come, drink some tea." This stuff is very greasy, and if you eat too much, you will get fat. ”

Cen Jingyue hurriedly took a sip of tea, "It's really delicious, sister-in-law of the Third Emperor, how did you do it?" ”

"Secret." Linghu raised his eyebrows, "Wait for the next time, the Third Emperor's sister-in-law will cook you something else delicious." This time there weren't enough tools. ”

"Well, it's a deal." Cen Jingyue touched her barren stomach and said.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, this piano is yours?" Cen Jingyue looked up and saw the guqin on the table.

Linghu nodded, he hadn't touched it since he was preparing for the wedding. "It's been a long time since I've touched it."

"It's a beautiful piano." Cen Jingyue gently stroked the strings, "Third Emperor Sister-in-law, can you play a song for me?" ”

"Yes, what do you want to hear?" Linghu looked at Cen Jingyue with an expectant look, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

"Whatever you want."

Linghu got up and walked to the piano and sat down.

The sound of the piano came slowly, and the red lips opened lightly,

"The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds.

The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass.

Hanxia Baideng Road, Hu peep into Qinghai Bay.

came to the battlefield, but no one returned.

The soldier looked at the side, and thought about how bitter he was.

High-rise buildings at night, sighing should not be idle"

A song by Li Bai "Guan Shanyue" unfolded under Linghu's clear voice.

Cen Junhan, who had just come from the study, listened outside for a long time, but instead of going in, he left.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, I have heard a lot of tunes in the palace, but I have never heard this one? What kind of song is this, so good, and is this poem composed by you, the sister-in-law of the Third Emperor? Cen Jinglin asked, holding his head.

"I just heard it by chance, it's not a well-known song, and it's normal that you haven't heard it." Hearing Linghu's explanation, Cen Jingyue nodded.

"It's not too early, let's rest early." Linghu made the bed.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, you and the Third Emperor Brother are newly married, it's not appropriate for Yue'er to sleep here." Cen Jingyue pointed to the big bed that Linghu was making, "Why don't Yue'er go to the guest room to sleep?" ”

"No need, your Third Emperor Brother won't come over tonight, he can find a place by himself. You can sleep in peace. Linghu vaguely heard the movement outside when he was playing the piano, and guessed that it was Cen Junhan.

"Okay then." Cen Jingyue is not welcome this time.

In the middle of the night, who was Cen Jingyue and Linghu in the same bed, thinking how comfortable Cen Junhan's big bed was, why was it so hard. When Linghu lay on the bed, she felt panicked, just like when she was lying on a stone in the field.

Cen Jingyue on the side was even more uncomfortable, how could this princess who was pampered in the deep palace compare with Cen Junhan, who was fighting abroad all the year round.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, I can't sleep." Cen Jingyue turned her head sideways and looked at Linghu with a look of grievance, "The bed of the Third Emperor Brother is too hard, do you usually sleep like this?" ”

"Yes, yes." She hadn't slept with Linghu either, and she didn't know that this mattress was so thin.

"Wait, I'm going to get another futon?" Linghu turned over and took his quilt from the couch. Linghu is a person who can quickly adapt to a harsh environment, but she still likes to enjoy happiness when it is not necessary.

"It's a lot better this time." Linghu finished laying out the quilt and patted it and asked.

"Well, it's much more comfortable." Cen Jingyue felt a lot more comfortable.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, I found that the Third Emperor Brother is very different from you." Cen Jingyue turned over and looked at the spirit fox.

"What's the difference? It's not like he has a straight face every day, as if everyone owes him. Linghu raised his eyebrows, a look of disdain.

"Actually, the Third Emperor Brother wasn't like this before." Cen Jingyue opened her eyes wide and said, "The Third Emperor Brother used to be very gentle. It's just that just two years ago, the three emperor brothers went to war and bought a woman back from outside the Saiwai, and said that they must marry her, but the father and grandmother said that they would not allow anything. ”

"Why not?" Linghu asked with a puzzled expression.

"That woman is unknown, her identity is unknown, how did she get a princess?" Cen Jingyue said very dissatisfied.

"You don't like her?" Linghu can see that Cen Jingyue is not a person who only looks at identity.

"If it weren't for her, the Third Emperor Brother would not have become so angry with his father and grandmother, and the Third Emperor Brother would not be like this." Cen Jingyue pursed her lips, "Back then, she left without saying a word, making the third emperor brother think that her father and grandmother forced her away." However, I vaguely heard that my father had already intended to approve their marriage, so why did she leave? ”

"And what's her name?" Linghu suddenly became curious about this woman.

"Zhao Ling'er." When Cen Jingyue said the name, Linghu almost laughed.

"Third Emperor Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?" Cen Jingyue looked at the spirit fox and asked.

"Nothing." Linghu shook her head, maybe she went to find Brother Xiaoyao. Linghu thought to himself. "I didn't expect your third emperor brother to still be an infatuated person."

"The Third Emperor Brother has always been a person of affection and righteousness, the Third Emperor Sister-in-law, you don't suffer at all if you marry the Third Emperor Brother. And I feel that you can change the Three Emperor Brothers, sister-in-law. Cen Jingyue looked like a little adult.

"You kid, don't get involved in the affairs of adults. I have no emotional foundation with your third emperor brother, it is not easy to coexist so peacefully, I don't want to bother to change him, this is good. Linghu waved his hand.

"Sister-in-law of the Three Emperors, you, like the Three Emperor Brothers, think that I am a child. But I'm already an adult. I know the truth. Cen Jingyue suddenly became very serious.

"Yes, you know best. Go to sleep. Linghu yawned, a little sleepy.

Cen Jingyue pouted, feeling that she was also sleepy, and closed her eyes.

Since Cen Jingyue returned to the palace, she has not come out again, and the spirit fox has spent several days in boredom.

"Jingshu, Steward Zhou came just now. Said that the Qinqing Courtyard has been cleaned up, and asked when you will go over to take a look. At this time, Fang Ling came in and said.

"Go now." When Linghu heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

When I arrived at the yard, I saw that the Qinqing Courtyard had been renovated, the weeds were gone, and the house had become very new, Linghu nodded with satisfaction.

"Fang Ling, let's move things." Linghu is in a good mood and finally has a place of his own.

A group of maids and house slaves began to move things to Qinqing Courtyard, Cen Junhan came back and saw that they had all been moved, but he didn't expect this woman to move so quickly, what did she want to do?

Thinking about it, I went to Qinqing Courtyard, and as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Linghu lying on the Taishi chair, drinking tea leisurely. Thinking of this tea, Cen Junhan hadn't drunk it for a while.

"Princess, it's really leisurely." Cen Junhan entered the door and said.

Linghu frowned and looked at Cen Junhan who came in, meaning that he disturbed his leisure, "What is the matter with the prince here?" ”

Cen Junhan didn't care, "It's okay, can't this king come?" ”

"The slave has seen the prince." Fang Ling came out with tea and saw Cen Junhan coming.

"Lord, princess, please use tea." Fang Ling poured tea for the two of them, and then retreated behind Linghu.

Cen Junhan took a sip, and the taste was the same as that day, "You made this tea?" Cen Junhan asked Fang Ling.

"Back to the prince, this tea was made by the princess herself, not a slave." Fang Ling was affected a lot by the spirit fox, and she was unhurried in replying, and she didn't have the fear of Cen Junhan at the beginning.

"No wonder, it tasted the same as that day." After Cen Junhan finished speaking, he took another sip and sat on the stone bench beside him.

"The prince won't come here just to drink tea." Linghu saw that he never said the reason.

"The slave maid went to the kitchen to see how lunch was prepared." Fang Ling is a person who can look at the eyes, and it is not suitable for her to stay at this time, so she found a reason to retreat.

"Is the princess talking to the king here?" Cen Junhan looked up at the spirit fox.

Linghu sighed, got up and walked into the house, and Cen Junhan also entered the house.

"Actually, the prince wants to ask me why the Xiao Mansion has been reluctant to express its position and has always remained neutral, right?" Linghu could see that Cen Junhan's not asking didn't mean he didn't want to know. The Xiao family's big meat can be obtained by anyone.

Cen Jun was silent, and Linghu continued, "Winning over your own henchmen too early will only make it easier for people to break, and King Han should know this very well in his heart. ”

"King Han doesn't have to probe from me, starting from the marriage given by the emperor, isn't the position of Xiao Mansion very clear? As for why Xiao Fu has not expressed his position, it is just my opinion? Linghu looked at Cen Junhan intently.

"Your opinion?" Cen Junhan also looked at the spirit fox.

"That's right, I told my father not to get involved in the whirlpool of the prince's dispute just because I married you, so as not to be able to pull out his feet in the future and implicate the Xiao family." After Linghu said this, Cen Junhan frowned.

"However, a few days ago, I promised someone that I would do my best to help you ascend to the throne, but it was me, not the Xiao family."

"You're alone?" Cen Junhan was indeed a little unconvinced, "Who is that person you are talking about?" ”

"Who is it? This wedding is so obvious, how could the prince not know who it is? Linghu hooked the corners of his mouth slightly and said softly.

Cen Junhan stretched the frown he had just furrowed, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, how could he rely on a woman, all he needed was the power of the Xiao Mansion?

"The prince thought in his heart that after all, I am a woman, if there is no power of the Xiao Mansion behind me, there is no difference between there and not. But because I am a woman, it is not easy to arouse people's alarm when I do things, not to mention that in the eyes of outsiders, I have the support of the Xiao Mansion behind me, and no one dares to move easily, what does the prince think? ”

"Does the princess think that this will keep the Xiao Mansion?"

"Then it's up to the prince? If the prince can ascend to the throne one day, even if he doesn't reuse our Xiao family, he can give the Xiao family a way out, right? ”

"Since the princess has said so, does this king have any reason to refuse?"

"In this case, we can also reach an agreement, so can the prince withdraw the people outside?" Since the wedding, Linghu has found out that someone has been secretly observing her, which makes her very unhappy.

"You know?" This lone shadow has always been clean and neat, how could she find out.

"Guess." Linghu replied simply, and Cen Junhan didn't say much. Get up and plan to leave.

"Once you have achieved success, if you want to climb the throne of white bones, you must sacrifice a lot. I, Xiao Jingshu, can sacrifice as much as I want, but Xiao Fu can't afford to sacrifice. Cen Junhan was just about to step out of the door when he heard the voice of Linghu Qingli.

"As long as Xiao Fu is honest and abides by his duty. This king will definitely protect you Xiao Mansion and take care of it. So you can rest assured? Listening to Linghu's words, he thought about Xiao Fu everywhere, but he didn't care about himself in the slightest, Cen Junhan was a little angry in his heart, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.

After speaking, Cen Junhan left the courtyard, and the more he walked, the more Cen Junhan couldn't understand where his anger came from, and why this woman was always easy to affect his emotions. Cen Junhan calmed down and entered the study.

"Lord Wang." At this time, there was an extra figure in the study.

"In the future, you don't have to look at the princess anymore." Cen Junhan put down the brush and raised his eyes to look at the lone shadow.

"Yes, it's just that the subordinates have always been cautious, I don't know how the princess found out? Is it really a guess? "Duying still can't figure it out.

"What's wrong with her these days?" Cen Junhan didn't quite believe that she guessed.

"No, the princess has been idle, drinking tea, reading books, there is nothing wrong. Besides, I didn't find that she had any internal strength, and it was common sense that she wouldn't find her subordinates. "Duying really didn't find that the spirit fox had internal force.

"Got it, stand down." Cen Junhan nodded.

I haven't practiced for a few days, and if I don't practice, the five of them will catch up, thinking of this, Linghu walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, closed his eyes and practiced quietly.

I didn't expect that after not practicing for so long, not only did my skills not retreat, but I grew a layer, it seems that this matter is really not in a hurry.

After a long time, Linghu finished his practice, pushed open the door, and went out to find Fang Ling.

"Fang Ling, did you get the box of dowry I wanted?"

"Don't worry, Jingshu, those dowries have already entered the palace treasury, and I will keep this box. It's in the West House. ”

"Then I'll take a look." Linghu turned around and went to the Westinghouse.

Linghu opened the box and saw the dragon knife lying there quietly.

"Oops, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Linghu picked up the dragon sword.

"Fangling, look." Take the dragon knife and let Fang Ling take a look.

"Oh, my ancestor, why did you bring this thing in, if you let the prince see it, he will definitely be angry." Fang Ling looked at it and immediately exclaimed.

"Don't worry, even if he sees it, it'll be fine." Linghu pulled the blade out of the sheath and handed it to Fang Ling, "You try." ”

"It's so heavy. Is this a knife or a sword" Fang Ling looked at the slender blade, no different from a sword, but the tip of the knife was different from a sword.

"This is called a straight knife, which can be cut, stabbed, used as a knife or a sword, how about it?" Linghu took the dragon sting knife from Fang Ling's hand.

"It's so beautiful, what's it called?" This time, Fang Ling was not afraid, but liked it very much.

"Dragon's Sword."

"Like a man's knife." Fang Ling listened to the name, and felt like a man's use.

"......" Linghu was speechless for a while, "Do you want to learn?" ”

"I can't learn this." Fang Ling is hard to pick up, how to learn.

"From tomorrow, I will teach you." Linghu's tone was unmistakable.

Fang Ling looked at the spirit fox with a bitter face, praying that the spirit fox would let her go.

"It's getting late, let's rest." Linghu pretended not to see it and walked straight to the room.

Liu Fangling stood in the middle of the courtyard with a blank face, isn't it, so heavy.

Linghu just hopes that this little girl can have the ability to protect herself, and she can also become her right-hand man, so will it seem that she is too selfish and involves her without her consent? Linghu looked at the window and thought.

"Forget it, ask her tomorrow." Linghu sighed lightly, if she doesn't want to, then find her a good family to marry, so that she can live in peace.
