268. Do you want to show your loyalty?

After the wedding date was set, the War King's Mansion and the Eldest Princess's Mansion began to prepare for the wedding.

In addition to measuring wedding dresses and other things that require her to appear, Liu Xinning has become the most idle person.

However, she was not completely idle. Because, she also has to arrange the marriage candidates in her yard.

Qing Chu is the oldest, and he is twenty years old this year.

According to the convention, she should be married before Liu Xinning got married, and then marry her to be a housekeeper mother.

However, Haruchu has always wanted to redeem herself. Even for this goal, he did his best to do things for Liu Xinning.

Therefore, Liu Xinning now released her deed in advance and gave her a reward, which has fulfilled the master-servant relationship in the past few years.

After Qingchu thanked Liu Xinning with tears in her eyes, she left the eldest princess's mansion.

Qiu Si, Lang Yue, Light Yan and the other three were determined to follow to serve Liu Xinning.

Liu Xinning asked them what they thought, and none of them wanted to marry anyone at the moment.

In addition, they are not under the age of twenty, so they directly marry as maids. So, don't worry too much.

Of the remaining second-class eight rui, Liu Xinning chose one of them to replace Qingchu's errand.

The others also asked their opinions.

If you are willing to marry someone to accompany you in the past, then you will match someone;

If you don't want to marry someone in the house and just want to marry as a maid, then be a dowry maid;

If you want to redeem yourself but are not old enough, then follow the rules of the house, go to other places to do things first, and then redeem yourself when you meet the requirements.

For a while, the personnel changes in Shuyi Garden became frequent.

Liu Xinning has the most contact with but Chun Nuan, the aunt in charge, and the four maids.

Therefore, for the others, Liu Xinning arranged for Chun Nuan, the aunt in charge, to arrange it.

Her mind is on Chun Nuan's lifelong event.

This year's spring is twenty-nine.

And the half-year period agreed last year is also coming soon.

Therefore, on the eighth day of the first month of March, Liu Xinning called her over in advance and asked her what she meant first.

This time, Chun Nuan hesitated. She didn't directly refuse like she did half a year ago, but she didn't directly agree.

"What do you think? Is it hard? Liu Xinning asked strangely.

It's been almost half a year, haven't you thought about it yet?

"The servant doesn't know. Lord, I'm sorry. The servant is too hesitant. ”

Chun Nuan thought that if he hadn't been under the good county lord, he was afraid that he would have been sent far away.

How fortunate is she, but she has gained so much trust and attention just because she has done the most fundamental thing to protect the Lord?

You know, a slave protects the master, but it is the most basic requirement.

"It's normal to hesitate when marriage is a big event. Think again. However, during this period of time, it seems that I haven't seen Ling Yi coming? ”

Liu Xinning twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while.

The last time she saw Ling Yi, it seems? Probably? Maybe ten days ago?

It shouldn't be.

It stands to reason that the sooner it is to have a result, then Ling Yi should run more diligently.

"Ling Yi helped the prince go out of the city to run errands."

Chun Nuan saw that she didn't need to make a decision immediately, so she quickly breathed a sigh of relief and replied flatteringly.

"You know his whereabouts." Liu Xinning teased.

Chun Nuan smiled wryly.

Didn't Ling Yi say that she didn't come to disturb her during this time and let her think about it?

"Okay. In that case, you should think about it. Whatever the outcome, I'll do what you want. ”

"Yes. Thank you, Lord Shire. ”

Chun Nuan hurriedly finished speaking, and went out to get busy.

In the evening, when Xiao Muze got off duty and came to the eldest princess's mansion to report as usual, Liu Xinning asked about Ling Yi's return date.

"This ...... I don't know very well. Unexpectedly, Xiao Muze hesitated.

"He's your man, helping you do things, and you don't know his return yet?" Liu Xinning was surprised.

Xiao Muze looked inside the room.

Liu Xinning waved all the subordinates away with a serious face.

"Actually, Ling Yi didn't do things for me. He went to protect the prince. Xiao Muze whispered.

"Guarding the Prince? There are many people in the East Palace, why do you use your manpower to protect it? ”

Liu Xinning was really surprised.

Since the crown prince was canonized, Emperor Qingping also acquiesced to the prince's training of his own manpower.

Therefore, the number of guards in the East Palace is quite a lot.

What's more, there are also many officials in the prince's family. This prince travels, and they don't follow him to show their loyalty?

Don't......

"Do you want to be faithful? Shouldn't it? Liu Xinning stared at Xiao Muze suspiciously and asked.

Xiao Muze took the route of being only loyal to the monarch.

Although the prince is the prince, he is not a prince after all.

"Of course not. I'm because of its jade. In the eyes of outsiders, they are all jade people. ”

Xiao Muze hurriedly argued.

Although, the prince knew that Xiao Qiyu had borrowed someone from him.

However, outsiders only thought that it was Xiao Qiyu's loaned hands, and it had nothing to do with him Xiao Muze.

"Oh. That's right. Liu Xinning nodded, indicating that she understood.

Last summer, the Changhe River, which runs through three counties and 16 counties in the south, suffered a major flood due to heavy rains for several days.

Not only did the land and villages around the river flood, but many counties were also severely affected by the heavy rains for several days.

Therefore, in order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court not only used the silver and grain in the treasury, but also raised a lot of materials in the capital and nearby counties to relieve the disaster.

Such a large amount of money and food is naturally moving.

Therefore, many officials in the DPRK and China are engaged in various activities to do this.

In the end, an old squire from the household department of the Five Princes' faction took over the errand.

After the old waiter took over the errand, he was busy for half a year. In the end, the disaster relief was completed smoothly.

However, I didn't expect that not long after the New Year, the county magistrate of Chishui County quietly entered Beijing and beat the drum, complaining that the silver and grain for disaster relief were greedy.

As soon as this incident came out, Emperor Qingping was furious, and the court naturally shook.

In the end, after several discussions, it was decided that the prince, the prince, would personally investigate and deal with it.

Prince Travel already attaches great importance to safety and other issues. Therefore, the guards of the East Palace poured out.

But because of this disaster relief, which involves all aspects, I am even more afraid of what those who are worried about will do.

Especially, on the side of the five princes.

It has been more than a year since the crown prince was established, but the five princes have no intention of giving up.

In front of Emperor Qingping, he showed great respect for the crown prince, the imperial brother. However, in private, there are frequent-for-tat confrontations in political affairs.

This time to deal with the disaster relief and corruption of ink, the prince was even more worried about his own safety.

One is that it was the officials of the Five Princes and the First Family who provided disaster relief before. They know that they are found out, and they will definitely fight back.

The second is, the fifth prince has always been on bad terms with the crown prince, will he take this opportunity to make a desperate bet?

In the end, the uneasy prince, after having the guards of the East Palace and the manpower secretly sent by other officials, also turned to his own brother Xiao Qiyu for help.
