Looking down the calf, one foot has no shoes and socks, naked and exposed. What about the foot under the other calf? How is it that there is only an empty blood hole left?

"No!" With an exclamation, Qing'er, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, woke up immediately, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look at He Xuan, who was struggling in her sleep.

"Princess, wake up, you're having nightmares again, aren't you?" Qing'er had the audacity to wake up the princess according to Hexuan's instructions, and asked anxiously.

"I... Yes... It's good that it's just a dream. He Xuan opened his eyes in a daze and spoke intermittently.

"Slave and maid, go and get you a glass of water." Qing'er immediately went to fill it with hot water and poured it into a delicate gold and bronze square statue, and then mixed it with some cold water.

He Xuan took a sip of water while closing her eyes and recalling the tragic situation of her son in her dream. How could a prince have a broken foot and crippled legs?

But all this is just a dream, and Xuan comforted himself silently. Since she was reborn, she has had such nightmares.

Qing'er looked at He Xuan carefully and asked, "Princess, do you want to find the imperial physician to take a look?" ”

"No, it's just a nightmare." He Xuan firmly rejected Qing'er's proposal.

Qing'er's eyes widened, and she continued to ask, "Princess, you have been having nightmares for a while, and you often don't rest well. The imperial physician is also your master, and he is not an outsider, so he is not as good as a princess... ”

"No, you don't!" He Xuan said loudly with some impatience, then eased his emotions and said lightly: "I know you care about me, I'm fine, you can step back first." ”

"No." Qing'er had a little grievance in her eyes, and she retreated with a sad face.

When will these people let her go! With anger, hatred, and a lot of grievances in his heart, He Xuan fell asleep again.

After He Xuan woke up, he had breakfast with Mrs. Cai and Ji Tai, and the family was happy.

Mrs. Cai sat on the side, embroidering the patterns on Zhou Tianzi's underwear. He Xuan was on the other side of the table, seriously explaining the knowledge in the book to Ji Tai.

In He Xuan's heart, he had already decided that the crown prince was not a suitable candidate for the prince. Not to mention his character and knowledge, but for the sake of Zhao Ruier, he indiscriminately regarded his wife's life as a mustard, which was enough.

If the crown prince is not suitable, who will be the prince?

Abolishing the crown prince is not an overnight thing, in order to avoid the fall of the Great Zhou, all He Xuan can do is to work hard to cultivate Ji Tai and add a prince to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After a while, Cai Wenxuan got off the morning court and hurried to Zhaohua Palace.

He greeted Mrs. Cai, chatted for a while, and then went to the side hall with Hexuan.

"How is my cousin? I don't know what happened to my cousin last time? As soon as He Xuan sat down, he asked with a smile.

Cai Wenxuan ate the refreshments on the table, nodded slightly, and said, "Cousin, don't worry, things are a little eyebrow-raising." You asked my cousin to eat something first, and I was in a hurry to go out in the morning, and I didn't have time to eat breakfast, and now I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. ”

He Xuan almost laughed out loud when he looked at his usually dignified cousin, and immediately instructed Qing'er to let the small kitchen make some more dishes that were not too time-consuming.

Cai Wenxuan ate for a while, and then said slowly while blowing the steaming egg porridge: "The shopkeeper has already helped you find it!" Originally, it was difficult for me to meet reliable business people in my capacity. However, there is a man named Yan Jin in Caifu, who is my father's protégé, and he has a good relationship with me on weekdays. After chatting a few days ago, it turned out that his family was a well-known wealthy businessman of the Yan family in Luoyi, and he had business in various countries. ”

He Xuan shook the tea bowl and listened carefully. After taking a few sips of thick porridge, Cai Wenxuan continued: "I didn't know it before, because Yan Jin felt that he was from a humble background and never showed it in front of others. But people from such backgrounds are suitable for us. ”

"Well, what my cousin said is not unreasonable." He Xuan nodded and continued to listen.

"I told him that I wanted to do business in Luoyi secretly, and I needed an experienced shopkeeper. He immediately recommended to me a man named Yan Xiaoliu, who is said to have been the shopkeeper of a grocery store on the outskirts of the Yan family for decades. It's a pity that there was a famine there, and the villagers were scattered, so business naturally couldn't sit still. I watched people grow old and take care of themselves, so I stayed. ”

"People who have experience as shopkeepers are naturally very good. It's just, is this person trustworthy? He Xuan thought for a moment and asked.

"Don't worry, Yan Jin is my friend, Yan Xiaoliu once received the grace of the Yan family to save his life, and this person is still very honest. Besides, if I don't tell him about you, it's okay, at most, I, the gate lord noble, want to do business outside, and it's not a big deal to spread it. Cai Wenxuan said lightly.

The eldest grandson of the dignified Cai family, how can he do business with villains in the market? But Cai Wenxuan walked around like this and said with care, you must know that Cai Wenxuan is a person who cherishes his feathers very much.

At this moment, He Xuan naturally understood her cousin's love for her, so she smiled and stopped asking.

"I talked to this Yan Xiaoliu and asked him to get me a money-making job, and I will pay for it. In just a few days, at the corner of Suzaku Street, I found a restaurant that was about to be rented. I went to see it privately, the door of the store is not conspicuous, but the location is not bad, the store furnishings are clean and generous, and the rent is cheap. When the time comes, let Xiaoliu decorate the outside well, hire a few more chefs, and it should be ready to open! ”

"Open a restaurant? It's a good idea. I can't imagine that this Yan Xiaoliu is so powerful! He Xuan smiled and couldn't help but praise it.

"Is it just that little guy is amazing?" Cai Wenxuan pretended to be a little displeased, and squinted at Hexuan.

"If my cousin can have such a talent, he is naturally even more powerful!" And Xuan immediately said. Qing'er and Ruolan next to her both snorted and laughed.

Looking at the room full of people smiling happily, they also smiled, and then continued: "By the way, the palace will eliminate some imperial chefs every year, and there are some apprentices, you can watch and pick up a few and go to be our cooks." Although their level is not as good as that of the imperial dining room, they are also the best outside the palace. ”

He Xuan asked Ruolan to take the silver and give it to Cai Wenxuan, and then said slowly: "This Ruolan is very knowledgeable among the palace maids. I thought about cultivating it well in case I needed it. ”

"Ruolan?" Cai Wenxuan finished counting the silver, raised his head, and stared at the palace maid Ruolan who was standing opposite, his expression was a little dull. Then he turned his head and said to He Xuan with a smile: "Everything is up to my cousin, and what my cousin says is what it is." ”

Ruolan still lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly. He Xuan looked at Ruolan's shy appearance, and didn't say anything, only said: "If that Yan Xiaoliu encounters any problems when opening a store, my cousin remembers to send someone to send me a letter." ”

"This is natural, after all, the person who paid for it is my cousin." Cai Wenxuan said, the porridge bowl in his hand was empty.

"Cousin, don't laugh, don't just drink porridge and eat some vegetables." He Xuan said with a smile, and then motioned Ruolan to go over and give Cai Wenxuan a dish.

Ruolan walked over cautiously, gently sandwiched the format dishes on the table, and then placed them in front of Cai Wenxuan.

Cai Wenxuan ate a few bites, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Cousin, I heard that something happened in the palace yesterday?" Did the crown princess slip a tire? ”

"Gongzixuan, don't mention it, yesterday our princess watched the side concubine perform a big show." When Qing'er heard this, she was also interested, and immediately replied.

He Xuan motioned to Qing'er to tell her what happened yesterday, and she only encountered some details herself, so she explained a few words.

Cai Wenxuan listened to the whole thing, was speechless for a long time, and was silent for a long time. "I'm sorry, my cousin thinks this matter is really unbelievable, and it's rude in front of my cousin."

He Xuan shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "It's nothing, this is what this harem is supposed to be." Zhao Ruier is bent on being the crown princess, and the prince only cares about maintaining the favored concubine, and things are actually so simple. ”

"What about cousin? What are you involved in this for? Cai Wenxuan stared at He Xuan with stunned eyes, and asked, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Yes, she secretly changed the pebbles and maintained Jiang Wanrong in every possible way, what was she for?

He Xuan was a little unnatural by such a look, lowered his head and shook the tea bowl in his hand, and then said lightly: "I just look at Jiang Wanrong pitifully, and I don't want her to die in vain." ”

"Cousin, cousin knows that you are still a child, and sometimes it is inevitable to do what you want. However, my cousin still has to remind you not to do things that are too dangerous, lest you hurt yourself if you can't help others. Cai Wenxuan said in a serious tone, but his eyes were full of brother's love.

He Xuan naturally understood what Cai Wenxuan meant, and said solemnly: "Cousin, don't worry, I will consider the consequences when I do things." It's just that these two girls around me and you know these things, don't tell my mother or uncle. ”

"Naturally, these things are the secrets of our brother and sister, and I won't tell them to my elders." Cai Wenxuan readily agreed.

He Xuan lowered his head and smiled, and drank all the tea in his hand.

The smile on Cai Wenxuan's face faded a little, and he continued slowly: "Cousin, the opening of the harem will soon be open in April, I wonder if the prince will be with him then?" Would my cousin be embarrassed if she was in the same room with the prince every day? ”

"Cousin, don't worry, he doesn't have a chance to trouble me." He Xuan said briskly: "The prince is already sixteen years old and an adult, so he won't go to class with us." Besides, after all, his identity is different, his teacher is the future master, and he must assist him wholeheartedly, where is there kung fu to teach us. ”

"That's right, so I'm relieved." The wrinkles on Cai Wenxuan's brows immediately relaxed, and he said lightly.

Although the prince did not attend classes with them, those reasons were nonsense with Xuan. In her heart, the prince is immoral and incompetent, where can he have the opportunity to win the throne of the Son of Heaven, and how can his teacher become a prince!
