Seeing that Han Dongwen ate so well that he even had to scrape the bowl clean, the little red bean on the side was startled.

The teaching in the Yingchun Palace has always been that His Royal Highness is weak, and his appetite will not be very good for a long time, and he often just eats some of the most precious ones at will from the extremely exquisite meal, and the rest will be reversed.

It's like now—

"Wow, it's delicious!"

Han Dongwen scraped the last bit in the bowl with a porridge spoon, took the last piece of duck skin into the mouth, and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Then, he remembered that Xiao Hongdou had been standing by his side, and scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

"This porridge is really well cooked today, if you want it, you should taste it."

Xiao Hongdou pursed his lips, bowed his head and said: "Your Highness got up very early today, and the imperial dining room specially made a meal suitable for the morning, and it is good that Your Highness likes it." ”

Han Dongwen stood up and stretched, and Xiao Hongdou stepped forward to take the plate away, handed it to the maid waiting outside the hall, and came back to take the fried water and make a new pot of tea.

Today's movements are somehow much calmer than yesterday's, besides, she has always liked to make tea.

"Little red bean, make yourself another cup."

Han Dongwen suddenly said seriously.

Xiao Hongdou was stunned, only nodded yes, and made himself a cup.

"Come, sit down for a while, and tell me how it has been since I went back yesterday."

He patted a chair in front of the bookcase, and Xiao Hongdou swallowed and nodded slightly.

It was not the first time she had sat by His Highness's side.

But she still couldn't figure out why.

"Back to Your Highness, the maids have been notified by the Yingchun Palace last night, and in the future, when you enter and leave the dormitory, you will no longer change your clothes according to Your Highness's requirements."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Your Highness Xie." ”

Han Dongwen nodded, and asked again: "You and I were with me for a day, but what's the problem?" ”

Xiao Hongdou blinked: "What does Your Highness mean ......?" ”

"I mean, I've made some kind of polite mistakes."

Xiao Hongdou is a maid who has read some books, but it is too difficult for her to consult on state affairs and the like.

But precisely because she is a maid, the rules and etiquette must be mastered, after all, for them, if there is rudeness, it will be a catastrophe if they can't keep it.

I wonder if they also learned other etiquette when they learned these palace rules?

"This ...... Your Highness, slave maid ......"

Her face flushed a little, but only because she was nervous.

Wrong in the number of rites?

Bad rules?

Your Highness, aren't you the rule?

"Hey, don't call Your Highness, don't say anything slaves, you and I will be you."

Han Dongwen shook his head, it's okay in the movie, it's really around his ears all day, he only feels that it sounds a little embarrassing.

"Slave ......"

Little Red Bean habitually pursed her lips.

"The way to accompany the king is to obey orders as one, you are not a sage, you don't have that kind of knowledge, you don't have to think so much, what the Holy God wants you to do, you will do."

This is one that Mi Niangniang repeatedly emphasized in the Spring Festival Palace.

"Slaves don't dare to ......"

She still didn't resist.

Han Dongwen was stunned and sighed.

This sigh startled the little red bean.

Is this disobedience?

What did I do!

"I, I, I ......!" She said urgently.

Han Wendong blinked his eyes and was happy: "Okay, that's it." ”

However, under Xiao Hongdou's various prayers, Han Dongwen agreed to only refer to you and me in private.

Maybe there is some truth to this, he thought, if he suddenly changed his appearance, it would only invite unnecessary trouble—he couldn't go back, and he couldn't take it lightly.

"So, what was wrong with me yesterday?"

He asked, "Don't hide it." ”

Xiao Hongdou's face was still a little red due to nervousness, and she took a deep breath as if she was cheering herself up.

His Royal Highness's meaning is obvious, if she says something relenting, she will be punished for the crime of bullying the king!

"Temple...... You did have a few unintentional mistakes yesterday and yesterday, and if you look at it according to the strictest standards, it can be more polite. ”

Han Dongwen's eyes widened a little.

This has been said very carefully, first saying that this is an unintentional mistake, and then saying that it is according to the strictest standards, and it is not that it is not an etiquette, but "it can be more polite".

Han Dongwen couldn't help but sigh, could this be office talk?

How did he know that this was simply the survival skill of maids like Xiao Hongdou.

"You say."

He nodded.

"Lord Wen, Lord Wen Yongxing, you were also your teacher when you were young, if you are a little humble, treat Lord Wen with the courtesy of a teacher rather than the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, it will be more polite."

"Really......"

Han Dongwen frowned, but he never thought that this Wen Yongxing was once the teacher of the plague monarch.

Xiao Hongdou looked at him and groaned, thinking that he had some ideas, and hurriedly added: "When, of course, Master Wen is knowledgeable, and has received the gift of your apprentice, and he is in front of outsiders, he will definitely return the courtesy and insist on treating the monarch and the minister, and you finally talk to Lord Wen with the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, but this back and forth is more polite." ”

I see.

To put it simply, I'm afraid it's pulling.

Han Dongwen nodded: "What you said is very good. Yesterday's outsider, Lord Zhong, how much do you know? ”

——————

To Han Dongwen's surprise, Xiao Hongdou talked a lot.

Zhong Lilin is the only son of the general Zhong Sheng, he has been a martial arts wizard since he was a child, and his spiritual understanding is extremely high, he has appeared at the age of three, and he learned to learn the sword from Zhong Sheng himself at the age of seven, and Zhong Sheng brought him into the army after the age of eight, and ate and lived with the soldiers.

At the age of twelve, Zhong Lilin had been incorporated into the Eight Gates of the National Soldiers Division, and was to guard the imperial capital Siyang for the palace guards.

Four years later, the Simeng Chonggang Haizhou pirates were troubled, and the National Soldiers Department raised naval soldiers to suppress them.

However, it is by no means an ordinary pirate who is haunting in Haizhou, the soldiers are a hundred battles, the ships are excellent, and the National Military Division has been repeatedly defeated in the territorial waters, so there is a holy oracle to order the general Zhong Sheng to raise heavy troops to garrison Haizhou.

However, this Zhong Sheng was a faint general, with the advantage of force of many ships, and when he ordered the pursuit of pirates, he chased out of the territorial waters of Simeng, and misidentified and sank the ships of the high seas power Taka and the pirates.

As a result, the big country Taka forced each other with the disparity in national strength, and under the pretext of helping Simeng to protect the maritime business lines and win-win situation, he semi-forced Simeng to "entrust" the security of territorial waters and business lines to Taka, and forced Simeng to eat a lot of gold and silver on top of the already loss-making trade.

Since then, the Taka ship has been roaming rampant in the waters of Simeng, and Zhong Sheng felt that he could not escape the blame and hanged himself in the port of Haizhou.

In the same year, Zhong Sheng's only son, Zhong Lilin, was also transferred out of the Ministry of Retirement, and was ordered by the Holy Order to cut off his spiritual root to pay for his father's sin.

Xiao Hongdou spoke a little fragmented, using the folk tale to scold corrupt officials, if someone else listened, I am afraid that he would only hate Zhong Sheng, a faint general, who defeated the national fortune of Simeng.

And Han Dongwen only felt a cold sweat on his back.

Okay, my father was sent by me to guard the border, and his father died directly there after an accident, and I broke his spiritual root and sent him to sit on the cold bench!

How dare I drink his tea!
