"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Mrs. Ji for a long time." Su Mengzhi asked deliberately.

Qin Mingyue smiled slightly, "Liangdi seems to be very concerned? ”

Su Mengzhi said tepidly: "Mrs. Ji is the mother of the crown princess, and my sister naturally cares a little more." ”

Qin Mingyue squinted, "Liangdi has a heart." ”

Don't think she doesn't know Su Mengzhi's thoughts, doesn't she just want to see the pianist's jokes?

After the meal, sweet soup was brought from the kitchen.

Su Mengzhi picked up the soup spoon and stirred it twice, there was a sweet and greasy taste under the tip of her nose, it stands to reason that pregnant women don't like this sweet taste the most, but today's sweet soup not only made her feel sick to her stomach, on the contrary, she also had a little more appetite.

"This sweet soup tastes good today." Lian Zhang Ruishun also appreciated.

Qin Mingyue hurriedly said: "This is the recipe brought by the new chef in the kitchen, the concubine has drunk it for two days, the taste is okay, let the kitchen do more today, if my sister likes it, I will ask the kitchen to send you a copy in the future." ”

After speaking, she drank two sips of sweet soup and sighed unsatisfied.

Since Su Mengzhi was pregnant, she has been very careful in eating, not only every meal is made in the small kitchen in the yard, but also the procurement of ingredients is also done by the grandmother next to her. She is pregnant with Zhang Ruishun's first child, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, she is the eldest son, so she is extra careful.

Today, it was also because of Zhang Ruishun's request that she had no choice but to come to the main courtyard for dinner. During this time, she really didn't have much appetite, and she barely ate two bites of today's meal, and this bowl of sweet soup seemed to taste very good, which made her slightly appetizing.

Seeing that Qin Mingyue drank a bowl of sweet soup to the bottom, and asked for a second bowl with unfinished desire, she finally handed the spoon to her mouth.

Not.

With a movement of his throat, Su Mengzhi sighed in satisfaction.

Sweet but not greasy, the sweet taste makes the whole person full and satisfied.

After two more sips, Su Mengzhi slowed down his movements leisurely.

"Liangdi, but you think it tastes good?" Qin Mingyue said, "When my sister first drank it, she also felt that it was very appetizing, if Liangdi likes it, let the kitchen make more every day." ”

"Thank you, Crown Princess." Su Mengzhi is not hypocritical.

Pregnant, her appetite has also changed, it is difficult to find food that suits the taste, although she is not at ease with the food in the kitchen, Su Mengzhi still can't resist the nostalgia for this taste. Moreover, she also has an extra heart, if the cook can give her the recipe, she can let people make it, if the cook is unwilling to give it to her, she will ask the cook to make a portion of her and Qin Mingyue's sweet soup, and then she will let the maid hold a bowl.

After dinner, Zhang Ruishun sat for a while, and then went to the study in the front yard, Su Mengzhi and Qin Mingyue were not on the same page, so as soon as Zhang Ruishun walked on the front foot, she also left.

A moment later, Mama came in with a bowl of potion.

"Crown princess, the medicine is ready."

Qin Mingyue frowned in disgust as usual, but couldn't wait to take the bowl over, and after drinking it all in one gulp, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Mama hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, princess, this medicine has an old slave to help you watch, and it won't be over." ”

"This palace naturally believes in Mama, but I'm worried that it will not be good for the child." Qin Mingyue stroked her lower abdomen and said.

Mama put down the tray, helped Qin Mingyue to lie on the recliner, and pulled the blanket on the side to put it on her body, before saying, "The old slave has calculated the time, and will not delay the princess's medication." The medicine woman also said that this medicine is to be used together with sweet soup, and drinking medicine after using sweet soup for half an hour has the use of nourishing the body and protecting the fetus. ”

Qin Mingyue smiled gloomily, "Rao is Su Mengzhi is cautious, he never thought that this palace would have such a move." ”

"It's still the crown princess who is shrewd," Mama patted her ass and said, "Su Liangdi thought that as long as she took the recipe, she could make sweet soup in her yard, but she didn't know that without this last decoction, sweet soup would be poison!" It's nothing for a normal person to drink it, but if a pregnant woman drinks it, it's a big problem. She just sent the recipe to the pharmacy, and the doctor couldn't see the problem, the key was in the well water where the sweet soup was boiled. ”

Mama was very proud, "The water in the entire prince's mansion is the well water in the kitchen, no matter how Su Liangdi prevents it, it can't be prevented." The most desperate thing is that the well water will only react with the herbs and ingredients used to make the sweet soup, and will not affect other domestic water, even if something happens, we can't find it over there. ”

Qin Mingyue nodded proudly, "The ability of the medicine woman, this palace still believes in it." ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken such a big risk and drank that bowl of sweet soup.

However, in the past few days, she has drunk sweet soup and medicine, and her body is much refreshed, so she has no worries.

"In a few days, there will be a reaction over there." Mama leaned into Qin Mingyue's ear and whispered.

The smile on Qin Mingyue's face deepened.

As long as she can get rid of the one in Su Mengzhi's stomach, it will not be in vain that she has spent so much effort.

You know, what she gave Su Mengzhi was a good thing, but only half of the good thing was given, who told Su Mengzhi that he was not blessed and couldn't enjoy it?

The next day, Qin Mingxuan came to the Prince's Mansion.

In the past half a month, he has helped Zhang Ruishun deal with a lot of affairs, all of which he has done before, so he is familiar with the way, but he doesn't find it tricky. Although there is no Qin Dongshan by his side now, Qin Mingxuan's ability is there, and he is also at ease.

Sitting in his seat, Qin Mingxuan looked at Zhang Ruishun with a solemn face.

Zhang Ruishun looked at the receipt in his hand with satisfaction, "You have done a good job in this matter, I believe that it will not be long before the good news can be transmitted back over there." ”

Qin Mingxuan's face softened, "This matter can go so smoothly, thanks to the wolf master, without the wolf master's people coming forward, we won't be so easy to negotiate with that side." ”

Zhang Ruishun nodded, "After all, we are in breach of contract, and it can be solved in this way, which is unexpected by His Royal Highness, the wolf master is a character, not only in Longdu, but also in several surrounding countries, and he also has a bit of face." ”

Qin Mingxuan echoed: "The wolf master is a low-key person, and many people have checked his details in private, but they have returned in vain, which makes the origin of the wolf master even more mysterious. But the grass people think that these are not important, as long as the wolf master can help us, it is beneficial to us, and the rest can be put aside, not to mention, now the wolf master wants to wash his name, he needs us, it is he who scrambles us, and we control the initiative. ”

"That's right, but if we rely too much on Lord Wolf in terms of financial resources, we will be subject to a lot of restrictions in the future, if at a critical time, he uses this as a threat to ask for more benefits, will His Highness give it or not? The greed of the human heart can never be satisfied, and I don't want to have a 'Zhenshan King' by my side. ”

Zhang Ruishun's concerns are very normal, and Qin Mingxuan also has such thoughts.

He will be the number one hero by Zhang Ruishun's side in the future, and he can't be implicated because of the wolf master's greed.

After thinking about it, he said to Zhang Ruishun: "What does Your Highness mean by what business does the wolf master want to participate in?" After a pause, he hesitated, "Lord Wolf is cautious and careful, most of the businesses in his hands are not visible, although they have been constantly whitewashed over the years, but Lord Wolf has a deep foundation in the underworld, and that part is his most profitable business." ”

If you want to cooperate, it is naturally the best legitimate business, but the legitimate business does not make much, the prince's mansion is now short of silver, and you have to wait for the business dividends, I don't know if you have to wait for the year of the monkey. And the business on the white road of the wolf master, the business on the bright side, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching, the prince and the wolf master cooperate, maybe it will be exposed at some point.

The people in the officialdom are all old fritters, and they are the best at chasing after the wind and shadows, and it is easy to guess the matter of the wolf lord's submission to the prince, the wolf lord is their trump card, and it is also their biggest reliance, which cannot be exposed. In this way, it can only be those businesses that do not see the light of day.

Qin Mingxuan frowned.

He has always believed that those who achieve great things are informal, so he doesn't care how the prince finally sits in the highest position, but the business on the underworld is always black, and he has to plan carefully. Now, this is secondary, and the most important thing is whether the wolf master will agree.

"Lord Wolf was introduced to His Royal Highness by you, you find a time to talk to Lord Wolf about this matter, if it is feasible, talk about it." Zhang Ruishun completely looked like he was in charge, not because he believed in Qin Mingxuan, but because he wasn't sure about this matter.

Although he had thought about it again and again, he had not discussed it with his advisers, let alone with his mother, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. And Qin Mingxuan has been with him for the longest time, and he was personally taught by Qin Dongshan, so he can figure out his mind very well, so sometimes, he just needs to click.

Qin Mingxuan didn't respond, he was a little hesitant.

To be honest, he had only been in contact with the wolf master once, and he was a little worried in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang Ruishun took a fierce medicine, "His Royal Highness knows that this matter is difficult for you, but Lord Wolf's purpose is to enter the court as an official, so he will be restrained, you can rest assured, even if you can't talk, he won't do anything to you." But if the negotiation is completed, His Royal Highness has the funds, and his actions are sharper, once you sit in that position, you can not only be reinstated, but also go to the next level, at that time, how can a 'Xiangye' be able to praise your merits? ”

Qin Mingxuan's eyes lit up.

Zhang Ruishun was telling him that when he ascended the throne in the future, not only would he be able to reinstate himself without re-taking the meritorious examination, but he could surpass his father and even become a national prince!

"The grass people must go all out!" Qin Mingxuan gave up his hand and assured Zhang Ruishun.

After the two finished discussing, Zhang Ruishun offered to let Qin Mingxuan have a good chat with Qin Mingyue's brothers and sisters, Qin Mingxuan knew that this was just a means to entrap him, so he didn't refuse, and stayed with Qin Mingyue in the main courtyard for half a cup of tea.

The brother and sister didn't say anything special, they just pretended to shush and ask for warmth, and remained silent tacitly.

Qin Mingyue didn't feel embarrassed either, and drank boiled water alone.
