Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Rite of Return

Huo Xing was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly handed the paper in his hand to Shen Xinyue's hand solemnly, "Back to the princess, yes." This is a list of gifts that the princess ordered his subordinates to bring when she returned to the door. Please take a look at the princess.

The prince said that if the princess is not satisfied with these gifts, she can change them according to the princess's wishes. Just follow the princess's idea. ”

Shen Xinyue took the list of gifts and looked at it, and thought for a while, "Si Qi, help me bring a pen and paper." ”

Si Qi was still thinking about the embarrassing scene just now, and was suddenly called by Shen Xinyue, startled, and then hurriedly lowered his head to get a pen and paper, handed it to Shen Xinyue, and hurriedly returned to the original place and stood crampedly.

Shen Xinyue took the pen and paper and quickly added a few things to the gift list, but fortunately, these traditional Chinese characters are more common, which is difficult for her.

Huo Xing was puzzled in his heart, according to the meaning of the prince, the list of gifts for the princess to return to the door that he had drawn up was already quite sufficient, and the things were also quite precious, and the whole country looked at it, except for those princesses, I was afraid that I would not be able to find a second one, why was the princess still not satisfied, and she had to add it again?

Shen Xinyue handed the list to Huo Xing and said, "I added some more, do you think it's difficult for the mansion to do it?" If I'm embarrassed, I'll think of something else. ”

Huo Xing was puzzled, took the list and looked at it, he was almost not petrified in place, and there was still such a return ceremony?

Rao He has followed Huo Weilou for many years, and he has already cultivated a calm temperament, so he can control his emotions without gaffes, and replied: "Go back to the princess, it's not difficult to do these things in the house." Everything can be done according to the princess's wishes. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you to go and call the people in the account office who are responsible for buying for the house, and I'll let them do it." Shen Xinyue took back the list and said to Huo Xing.

Huo Xing nodded in agreement and turned around to do it.

Huo Xing, who turned his head, finally relaxed his facial expression, and shook his head with an incredible look.

sighed in my heart, how many faces does this princess have.

The majesty of reprimanding those subordinates who despised her is still vivid, and in an instant, she can mingle with her personal maid, regardless of dignity and humility, such a princess is afraid that there is no one before and no one will come after.

It's no wonder that the prince is impressed with her, and every time he encounters the princess's affairs, he doesn't have the previous rules.

What a thing, one thing!

Ah, no!

One person descends to one person!

Thinking about it, Huo Xing came to the account room and called out the people who were in charge of purchasing.

When these people heard that the princess was going to arrange for them to go back to their parents' house, they were so happy that they smiled, and they went to Shen Xinyue for a while.

"How many of you are in charge of purchasing goods in the house?" Shen Xinyue saw those people and asked with a smile.

"Back to the princess, it's just a few of us. Princess, you just have to tell us, and we will definitely do it to the princess's satisfaction. Said a man with two pinches of beard on his face.

Since the last time I saw Shen Xinyue's power, the people in the house are now at least honest in face, and when they speak, they are called a princess.

"In this way, I will bother you. Today, there are a lot of things that need to be purchased, and they are a bit miscellaneous. Shen Xinyue said again.

"Yo yo yo, the princess said so, but it will kill us. Don't dare to call it tired, we subordinates should do everything for the princess in the house. The princess's return to the door is a major event in the palace, and the servants will do their best to satisfy the princess. ”

The two handfuls of beards said with a flattering look, and the rest of the people followed suit.

"That's good. I'll give you a list, go ahead and do it. Shen Xinyue said, handing the list to the two handfuls of beards at the head.

The two handfuls of beards took the list and swept their eyes, and their hearts were simply happy, this is indeed a big order, and when they saw the following two lines of words, the corners of their eyes twitched, but then they recovered as before, and dragged the rest of them away.

"Princess, why did you hand over the procurement to these people? They are unreliable. Si Qi looked at the distant backs of those people and said with some concern.

"Oh? How is it unreliable? Let's talk about it. Shen Xinyue knew that Si Qi generally didn't chew the root of people's tongues behind her back, and since she said so, she must know something.

"Well~ Actually, I can't say how unreliable it is. But I know these people.

The one with two handfuls of beards at the head is called Deng Liu'er, he is a distant relative of the old princess's mother's family, this person looks like a thief, he used to run the old princess's yard very diligently, relying on the relationship with the old princess, there are few times when he bows his head and waist in the house;

The other two people who were with him were all relatives of his mother's family, one was called Hu San'er and the other was Hu Si'er. It is best to describe these people as a nest of snakes and rats together. Si Qi said.

"As far as I know, you've never been good at inquiring about these idle things? How do you know so much about these? Shen Xinyue looked at Si Qi puzzled.

Si Qi "um" for a moment, and then said: "Princess, do you remember that I told you that it was the prince who saved me from fire and water, and I wanted to repay him all the time, but you also know that with the prince's ability, I was still young at that time, what could I do to repay others."

Later, as I grew older, I observed something strange in the house. ”

Shen Xinyue became interested, "What's the strange situation?" ”

Si Qi thought about it, as if he had mustered up courage, and said, "I found that the old princess is very bad to the prince. ”

Hearing this, Shen Xinyue's thoughts were suddenly pulled to the scene when she first entered the mansion.

The change of relatives had nothing to do with Huo Weilou, but every time the old princess scolded him indiscriminately, even when he was seriously injured and almost dying, the old princess did not care at all, and all she saw in her eyes was resentment.

Exceptional, indeed!

"Princess, you also know that the old princess has two sons, the prince and the second son. The prince is wise and martial, and everyone in the country praises him, and he also respects the old princess, but the old princess has never spoken softly to the prince.

And the second son, although he never does anything beyond the rules, but compared with the prince, it is far from the same. But he got all the care and love of the old princess. ”

Si Qi paused when he said this, and looked at Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue's face was solemn, "The same son, one is the eldest son, the regent, who is the lintel and pillar of the palace; One is the second son, who is not wrong but also has no merit. But it's treated differently at all. The eccentricity is incredible. ”

Si Qi nodded approvingly, "Princess, you don't know, every time the prince goes to the old princess to ask An to come back, he is very lonely.

Moreover, the big and small things in the house, whether they are related to the prince or not, whether they are the prince's fault or not, the old princess blames the prince, and the prince almost never argues. Slowly, the time for the prince to return to the palace became less and less.

So, so later I began to pay attention to the things on the old princess's side, and then when the prince returned home, I thought about telling him something, I wanted him to pay attention, so as not to be scolded by the old princess all the time......"

Speaking of the back, Si Qi's voice gradually decreased, and he looked at Shen Xinyue with a timid expression, "Princess, you won't blame me, right?" ”

"No, it won't. How can I blame you? You're doing the right thing. You did a great job to give back to the people who saved you to the best of your ability, without harming anyone. ”

Shen Xinyue smiled at Si Qi, and gave her a thumbs up appreciatively.

Although Si Qi couldn't understand what Brother Thumb meant, he knew that the princess was praising her, so he grinned happily.

Shen Xinyue fell into deep thought.

This was the first time she had heard others talk about Huo Weilou's situation in the palace.

The old princess's attitude towards Huo Weilou is not accidental, but has always been like this.

It is unconscionable for a mother to treat her son harshly for many years.

Thinking of Huo Weilou, who was a dignitary in front of people, but there was such a situation in the back, Shen Xinyue's heart felt very panicked, and she felt sorry for him.

Yes, it's very distressing.

Perhaps, not only distress, but also sympathy for the same disease.

She thought about herself before she crossed over.

Her life in her family of origin was not satisfactory either. 's parents are patriarchal and only love Shen Xinyue's younger brother.

Although he didn't treat Huo Weilou as often as the old princess, he faced her with a cold face all the year round.

The younger brother is pampered and delicate, and often bullies Shen Xinyue, but his parents obviously see it in their eyes, but they never care.

Shen Xinyue suddenly thought of something, "What about Huo Weilou's father?" How will he be treated? ”

"The old regent treats the prince very well, it is very good. I heard the old man in the house say that the old regent was afraid of falling when he held the prince in his hand at that time, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, so he almost offered it. Since he was a child, he took him to read and write, and taught him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, which is very attentive.

Moreover, when the old regent was alive, the old princess was still reasonable to the prince. Since the death of the old regent, the old princess seems to have changed a person, and she is not good for the prince. ”

Si Qi said.

"Oh~" Shen Xinyue nodded thoughtfully.

"So, princess, I don't think it's reliable to let those people do it. They're from the old princess's side, and I'm afraid they'll make them bad or something. ”

Si Qi brought the topic back to square one.

Shen Xinyue said clearly: "Don't worry." I know it. ”

If you don't let people do things, you will never find out his problems.

She deliberately left this matter to them, just to take the opportunity to put it to the test.

The master and servant talked for a while, and when it was dark, supper was brought from the dining room, and after eating they rested early.

The next morning.

Deng Liu'er, together with Hu San'er and Hu Si'er, went to Shen Xinyue to make an errand.

"Princess, we have already done everything you have explained. Here is a list of items to purchase, please take a look at the princess. If there is no problem, let's go to the account room. ”

Deng Liu'er said, nodded and handed the list to Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue took the list, not only read it, but also read it out in public slowly, and after reading it, she asked with a smile: "I'm afraid these prices are not right, this princess's mother is in business, and she knows a little bit." It's a far cry from what you bought. ”

When Hu San'er and Hu Si'er heard this, both of them looked wrong, sweat continued to seep from their foreheads, and they turned their eyes to Deng Liu'er.

Deng Liu'er didn't care, and repeated the words that had been prepared a long time ago in his heart, and replied with a flattering face: "Princess, you don't know anything.

The prices of the items you know about in your mother's house are all private. How can we buy it in the people, princess, this is a return gift, so we must pay attention to it, we are all specially going to the official shops, and we choose the high-quality goods there.

That's why the price is different. ”
