Chapter 237: Plan Ahead
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the overflowing sunlight spreads into the room, the summer breeze is surrounded by a large number of books, letters, etc., sitting crookedly on the couch in front of the window, wearing a loose white robe, showing lazy and indescribable elegance, the same white forehead belt ends down on the shoulders, so that people can see his handsome face more clearly, and the serious appearance is addictive. Xia Feng is writing with a pen in one hand and a book in the other, and his slender and slender fingers slowly turn over the pages, reflecting a touch of leisurely tranquility.
The transparent light, the pale people, the bright and bright blended together, and the black cat that shrunk into a ball nested at the end of the couch added a few years of quiet gentleness.
When Susan came in, she saw such a beautiful picture of the quiet years, and for a moment she couldn't help but want to grasp the almost transparent soul, and always felt that if she stretched out her hand, he would disappear into the air, never to appear again.
"Oh, Susan!" or Xia Feng greeted first, "How can you say it in advance, Robert......"
"Oh, don't move...... Susan pleaded in a pitiful tone.
Xia Feng, who had just jumped up, stood there holding a book, frozen inexplicably.
"What?"
Susan looked disappointed: "I still want to move an easel here, no, you still sit back, don't destroy my beautiful paintings!"
Xia Feng burst out laughing, threw the book back on the couch casually, and walked towards Susan while arranging the overly loose white robe on his body, and saluted with one hand and his chest very gentlemanly.
"Welcome to the summer palace again with beautiful Miss Susan. ”
Susan finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly half-squatted down and saluted: "Your Highness......" The tone was full of questions and trepidation.
Xia Feng laughed, stepped forward and pulled Susan up to the sofa next to him: "I'm joking with you, you are still serious, you are really getting more and more stupid." ”
"Hey!" Susan cried out dissatisfied, "anyway, you're also the prince, this is the palace, what do you want me to do." ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Xia Feng immediately softened and naturally picked up the teapot on the table and poured water.
Robert stood respectfully outside the door: "Your Highness?"
"Why didn't Miss Susan tell me in advance? Xia Feng handed the poured tea to Susan.
"I didn't let them tell me. Susan glanced at Xia Feng unhappily, "What kind of play are you playing with me, who doesn't know that you are precious to the people here, you care about these things?"
Xia Feng raised his hands high and made a surrender form: "I was wrong!"
Susan pouted and turned to Robert at the door: "Robert, look at how much your Royal Highness can act, it's been wrong three times in this moment." ”
"Your Highness, you don't treat Miss Susan as an outsider, that's why you can be so happy. Robert replied sleekly.
"Oh, you can talk. Susan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded slightly, "I see that you have added a lot of waiters in this palace, why do you have to do this kind of thing yourself?"
Xia Feng glanced at the teapot in his hand and smiled helplessly: "Don't talk about this, hahaha, did you find that I have changed a lot here when I came here today?"
"Hey, hey, your face is proud, why am I embarrassed not to praise you?" Susan looked at Xia Feng's happy appearance, and always felt that he was the one who had changed the most, "I really feel different when I enter the door, and I don't have the lifeless atmosphere before." ”
"It's like you're sarcastic. Xia Feng said, "But I'll just treat you as jealous." ”
"Huh?"
"Wait a minute, I'm going to go out and run some errands first, so ......"
Before Xia Feng could finish speaking, Zachary suddenly ran in from outside with a shout, passed by Robert who was standing at the door, and twisted his waist to flash perfectly.
"Your Highness, we can go, I...... Oh, Miss Susan, hello, when are you coming?" said Zachary, a hindsightful greeting.
Susan frowned slightly, what about the people in the summer palace in private, others can't control it, and they can't control it, but it is absolutely impossible to be so unruly to the outside world, this guard has seen it before, and he is not such a presumptuous person? But what is the situation? Xia Feng's people are really getting more and more disagreeable!
"Zachary, you can't be so rude. Xia Feng lectured, but his tone was not half stern.
Zachary quickly straightened up and smiled cautiously, "Yes! I'm sorry, Miss Susan." ”
Susan ignored Zachary, but looked at Xia Feng dissatisfied.
Xia Feng accompanied the smiling face: "Oops, oops, let's make our Miss Susan unhappy, we must think about how to make amends." ”
"I'm too lazy to be angry with a waiter, I'm angry with you, when is it, and the people under me don't have any rules. Susan understands the rules of the game too well in the aristocratic circle, an adult prince has to face a mountain of problems, all aspects, if he can't even manage his subordinates well, he will undoubtedly be rejected by the upper class, this is the biggest and most fundamental problem of Xia Feng, "Robert, don't you teach the newcomers the rules?"
Zachary frowned dissatisfiedly, this girl didn't look so snarky before, what's the matter? He was about to speak, but was stopped by a cough from Robert behind him, and swallowed it back into his stomach, well, this is the palace, and he should talk less if there are outsiders, this is the rule of Heath and Robert's face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Susan, but I didn't teach me well. Robert respectfully apologized.
"It's okay, Susan won't care about that. Xia Feng lightly brought the problem over, and he would be annoyed to death if he was entangled in this kind of thing.
Susan knew that Xia Feng didn't like others to teach his subordinates around him, so looking at his light and breezy smile, she had no choice but no rut.
"Just connive at it!"
Xia Feng smiled noncommittally and beckoned to Zachary.
Zachary hurried over and handed Xia Feng a stack of papers.
"There are 8,345 soldiers assigned to the army under the command of the Lord, and all the formalities have been completed, and the Presbyterian Council will be sent to seal it. Zachary said triumphantly, "Your Highness, you promised me that you would do this yourself, and you can't talk about it." ”
"I'll do it, I'll do it, and I didn't say I wouldn't go. Xia Feng looked at the information in his hand, and his tone was brisk.
Zachari Lek went straight to the inner bedroom.
Susan frowned unconsciously: "You still have to do this kind of thing yourself?
"They will always run into trouble of one kind or another, and I can save more time by doing it myself. Xia Feng smiled, "I'll go to the Elders' House, will you wait for me?"
His attitude is too good and too sincere, and it is impossible for anyone to refuse if he is changed.
"Thank you!" Xia Feng said happily and stood up, "Robert help me prepare, and at noon I will have a banquet for our beautiful Miss Susan." ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Help me ask Sister Mingyan to come over and take care of Susan, and by the way, take her to visit our newly renovated summer palace. Xia Feng said and turned to Susan, "You really should visit it, I designed it myself!"
"Then I really can't miss it. Susan said in surprise.
Zachary ran out of the inner room, already with a light blue stand-up collar kaftan in his hand.
Xia Feng took the clothes, put them on his body, and continued to explain: "Zachary, you don't have to follow me......"
"Huh?"
"You go find your master, help me invite the eldest brother and second brother to lunch, and Avril, it's rare that everyone is here, so we have to get together." ”
"Okay, guaranteed to get the job done. ”
Xia Feng's straight figure was perfectly set off by the long shirt, and the previous lazy and leisurely quickly transformed into a handsome and clear teenager, a simple single dress, matched with his incomparably handsome face, made the onlookers spontaneously have a sense of dignity that did not dare to blaspheme.
Susan stepped forward and raised her hand to help Xia Feng sort out her clothes.
Xia Feng took a step back extremely naturally, and smiled lightly: "I'll just come by myself." ”
While speaking, Xia Feng casually took off the forehead band on his head, and the soft black hair was attached to his forehead, which was rubbed by him at will.
Susan put down her hand slightly embarrassed, but said stiffly: "Hmph, you deserve to be affected." ”
Xia Feng put his arm around Susan's shoulders and said, "Okay, don't talk about me, let Robert and Sister Ming Yan take care of you, and wait for me to come back." ”
Susan smiled happily as Xia Feng left, and before she knew it, she became obscure and bleak again.
"Hello, Miss Susan!" Ming Yan's appearance interrupted her somewhat wandering thoughts, "Your Highness ordered me to take you ......"
"There are also waitresses in the summer palace!" said Susan, looking at Ming Yan.
"Yes, since ......"
Susan didn't seem to want to listen to a maid say so much, so she interrupted Ming Yan and said, "Take me upstairs first!"
As he spoke, he had already left first.
Ming Yan sighed slightly and followed closely.
After staying in the summer palace for a long time, she occasionally forgets her identity, and now this situation is normal, the noble lady who is high up makes her have a long-lost ...... Comfort...... Well, if Your Highness knew, I am afraid that it would be read.
Xia Feng and Hiss rode to the House of Elders.
Hiss had just learned that they still had this task, and his mind was a little confused.
"Isn't this all a matter of the military department? Why do we still have to ask the Council of Elders to seal it?"
"Just in case, since this unit has been given to Dongfang and she has to train herself, there can be no more chance of falling into the hands of others. Xia Feng explained, "It's not wrong that the formalities that should be done have been completed, but with the confirmation of the Council of Elders, even if this army is a marshal, it can't be dismantled and dismantled, and if you want to transfer it to others, you can transfer it to others." ”
Hiss suddenly said: "You have added a talisman to this army!"
The Presbyterian Church has little real power, but it is full of the oldest and most powerful people in the Empire, who stand on the political and moral high ground, and in some ways are transcendent beings who can compete with the Holy See.
"Indeed, it would be a shame that the army she trained was given to others. Heath said again.
"It's a pity that it's not her direct leader. Xia Feng smiled.
"Yes, plan ahead. ”
"Thanks for the compliment!"
