Hearing this voice, the master and servant glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Even if Aunt Lan wanted to go out, Xie Songhua waved her hand and said with a smile, "Let her go, I'm afraid there will be many such things in the future!"

"Can ......"

After saying a word, he saw that Xie Songhua had already picked up the registration book on the table, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and didn't say more.

After a while, Xiao Yu came in, his face a little uneasy.

Aunt Lan was very discerning and took the others down.

"Have you eaten?"

It was already dark outside, and according to the rules, he had to rest on Xie Songhua's side this month.

I don't know where this rule is, but it doesn't have to be the case with the two of them.

Xiao Yu sat down opposite her on her own, her eyes falling on her clothes.

When I go out in the morning, I have already put away a set of clothes, and when I come back, I don't want to wear men's clothes all the time.

Xie Songhua changed into a long jacket embroidered with a concubine-colored folded branch and begonia pattern at this time, a pair of soft-soled shoes on his feet, a handful of green silk and a bun at will, and only pinned a plain hairpin at the back of his head, which looked very casual and homely.

Following his line of sight, Xie Songhua looked at himself and didn't feel anything inappropriate.

Then he smiled and said, "But the prince thinks I'm too unkempt?"

Xiao Yu's face was a little embarrassed, and before he could speak, Xie Songhua explained, "I was about to talk to the prince about this, I'm a person! Don't like to be tied down.

Although my marriage with the prince is just an empty shell, theoretically speaking, we are friends at most, so it stands to reason that I should also show more respect in front of the prince.

But I really can't bear those red tape, in the next few decades, if nothing else, this is my house, and I am really tired and panicked at home, right?"

Seeing her looking at herself so earnestly, Xiao Yu replied softly, "I don't think there's anything wrong with you being like this."

"That's good," Xie Songhua leaned back when he heard this, "But it's not a big problem, it's just this month."

At this point, it seems that there is nothing more to say.

Xiao Yu looked at the woman sitting at the other end, and the other party's attention was obviously completely on the booklet in his hand.

What was he doing back to the main house?

He was sitting here now, and he was inexplicably embarrassed.

Fortunately, the people below came to ask about the dinner, which somewhat resolved some of the embarrassment.

He took advantage of the opportunity to have a few books sent over quickly.

Fang Cai was still thinking about hanging Xie Songhua in the house all the time, for fear that the people below would snub her, so she said that she would not go to the study after dinner.

It seemed that he had nothing to do in the main courtyard at the moment.

Xie Songhua cleaned his hands and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the dishes on the table, "What did you order?"

The dishes on the table include boiled pork slices, saliva chicken, and spicy fish pieces......

Half of the dishes are spicy.

It stands to reason that in the past, there was only Xiao Yu as the master in this mansion, and the chef of the palace should know his taste very well.

Xiao Yu looked a little stunned, and then said lightly: "Steward Huo has always done things properly, and he came to ask a few days ago, and he arranged it."

Xie Songhua raised his eyebrows, he was in a good mood, in a big family like this, sometimes the most important thing in internal management is not the master's house, but its housekeeper.

The most important thing for the master of the house is to control a general direction, and the specific person who does things is the people below, if the housekeeper's ability is strong, for the master, the management of the inner house will be much easier.

It seems that this Steward Huo is good, and looking at Xiao Yu again, he doesn't look like a person who can manage those housekeeping chores.

One of the biggest disadvantages of eating with this person is that it's too stuffy.

Probably because of the good upbringing he received since childhood, Xiao Yu was very quiet when he ate, and his every move was elegant and calm, as if he was not eating

, but as if it were some kind of ritual.

And no matter what this person eats, he doesn't react, so when he looks at it, he can't tell which dish he likes to eat and which one he doesn't like.

Even those few dishes that are not spicy do not show any bias on his partiality, like an emperor who is wet with rain and dew.

Xie Songhua inexplicably remembered that when he was in Dengzhou, he ate stinky tofu.

Obviously, Xiao Yu at that time looked more like a real person than the person in front of him.

I don't know what kind of mentality it is, Xie Songhua suddenly took the chopsticks next to him, sandwiched a piece of hot and sour lotus root slices and put it in his bowl, "Lord Wang, taste this?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, the maid who was waiting behind him suddenly rushed over, and said with some uncertainty on her face: "The prince can't eat spicy!"

Then he quickly picked up the chopsticks on the side and took out the lotus root in Xiao Yu's bowl.

This came down quickly and suddenly, not to mention Xiao Yu, even Xie Songhua didn't react.

Xie Songhua's eyes fell on the maid's body, and then put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at the person opposite with a smile.

When the maid saw Xie Songhua like this, she suddenly realized that she had done something wrong.

When he knelt down directly, "Princess, forgive me, the princess may not know anything when she first comes, our prince can't eat spicy, and if he eats spicy, he is prone to rashes, slaves, and maids...... The slave and maid were just in a hurry, and they definitely didn't mean to offend the princess."

Xiao Yu's face was not very good-looking, but he didn't speak, but put a piece of lotus root into his mouth, still abiding by the rule of eating without saying a word.

The maid's eyes widened when she saw this, but she muttered that she didn't know how to speak.

Xie Songhua smiled and said, "Get up! Don't be too nervous, I've just come to the palace, and there are indeed a lot of things that I don't know."

The maid saw that she had a smile on her face, and she really didn't look angry.

Looking at Xiao Yu over there, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all, so he was a little relieved and finally stood up.

Xie Songhua continued: "But what! These things that I don't know, if it involves the prince, I can ask the prince directly, and if it involves the mansion, I can also ask Steward Huo.

If you think that I have done something wrong, or that I have done something wrong, you can give me your opinion, or you can say what you think.

But ......"

The smile on her face slowly retracted, and her expression showed a bit of majesty, "I don't like people to teach me to do things, and I don't like people who don't know the importance of the occasion."

This dining room is not small, and there are several maids waiting around.

Xie Songhua was beaten in public, and the maid's eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she gritted her teeth but didn't say anything.

Is this unconvinced?

Xie Songhua also sat still, his eyes only on the maid to see if she knew what to do.

Unexpectedly, the other party turned his gaze to Xiao Yu.

However, Xiao Yu didn't look at her, but turned his eyes to Xie Songhua, and said with a smile: "Is it important to eat or to reprimand the maid? Just get out if you don't know anything, the food is cold, and your stomach will be uncomfortable after eating later."

He just said the usual words, and the maid's face changed suddenly, and this time she knelt much more sincerely, "The prince atoned for his sins! Slaves...... The slave and maid are just worried about the prince's body, and the slave and maid are loyal......

The other two maids came over immediately, and without saying anything, they set her up and dragged her out directly, "There are more and more rules, the prince and the princess are eating, you dare to be so noisy."
