Flowers are expensive

Chapter 400 Miss Zhuang Meets Again

"By the way, ma'am, just now the servant girl received a secret letter from the capital, saying that the imperial court sent a criminal officer to take up his post."

"Oh?" Yin Luo turned his head and asked in surprise, "Who did you send? Will Zhao Yuanyin accept it?"

"It was Mr. Zhang Xianchu who was originally at Yushitai. I heard that he was sent to Jingyou City this time because he was punished and sent abroad."

"Why?"

"As the admonisher of Yushitai, if there is no impeachment within a hundred days, he will be dismissed from office and sent abroad."

"It's such a beautiful excuse!" Yin Luo nodded and smiled, "It's obvious that I want to put a little wolf dog next to Zhao Yuanyin, but I'm quite worried about that Mr. Zhang Xianchu, who is a civil servant. Kiss the number one scholar, can he stand up to Zhao Yuanyin?"

"Since he is willing to be this wolf, he must be full of confidence. Your Majesty can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let them fight wildly."

"That's right, by the way, you make some preparations and go to the palace tomorrow afternoon."

"Isn't the banquet evening?"

Yin Luo smiled knowingly: "Those who go in the evening are guests, and those who go in the afternoon are family members, understand?"

Ping'er nodded and said: "It's still the empress who is thoughtful, the servant understands, let's prepare now!"

Youwang Mansion, which has not held a banquet for three years, looks extraordinarily lively and festive on Mid-Autumn Festival.You Xian'er woke up early, called Xixi Zhuang Yunxian and others to the yard, assigned things one by one, and then said: "If the banquet is successfully held tonight, your husband will be proud of himself. It’s just that you are incompetent! Outsiders will not laugh at Yuan Yin and the others, but only laugh at the women in the palace who are too stupid! Do you understand?”

Xixi smiled and said, "Nurse, don't worry! I'll be sure to keep a close eye on the kitchen, not even a fly will fly in!"

You Xian'er smiled and said, "I'm not worried about you. In terms of dealing with people, I'm most at ease with you. But Yunxian and Mingzhu, I have to say a few more words."

Mingzhu glanced at Zhuang Yunxian dissatisfied, and pouted to You Xian'er: "Nurse, I will be obedient and won't cause trouble for you. Do I have enough time for those things at the banquet? Our Prince Qi's Mansion is the same anyway. This palace, I know what to say and how to greet guests, don’t worry! I won’t be like some people who only have fists left!” “Speaking of which, the one I’m most worried about is you, Mingzhu,” You said. Xian'er pointed at her and said, "You understand the matters at the banquet, but in the past you treated guests as the princess, but today you treat guests as Zhao Xun's fiancée, there is a big difference Yes! Although the banquets today are not as noble as those high-ranking officials and princes hosted by the Qi Palace in the past, most of them are under your elder brother Yuanyin. Concentrate, don't show people's face at every turn, you know?"

Unconvinced, Mingzhu turned her hands behind her back, nodded and said, "Understood, can't I laugh?"

"Don't think I'm making a fuss, and don't underestimate the family members of those generals. Sometimes you can get to know a lot of things when you talk to them! Women can't help their husbands outside, but they can't sit still. Eat and drink? You have to do your part, right? So Mingzhu, even though you haven’t married yet, you should share the worries of the palace, right? You’ve done a good job, your elder brother Yuanyin will praise you, and Zhao Xun will change his mind about you. Say?"

"Yes..." Ming Zhu smiled at You Xian'er and said, "I understand, I guarantee you won't embarrass Brother Yuan Yin and Brother Zhao Xun today, right at the head office?"

You Xian'er nodded and asked Zhuang Yunxian: "Do you understand what I just said?"

"Understood." Zhuang Yunxian said.

"That's good, I won't talk too much, anyway, you are such a big man, you should know how to measure. Let's go to our own, and ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

After Xixi, Zhuang Yunxian, Mingzhu, and Que Ling left the outer room, Dong'er hurried in.You Xian'er put down the teacup handed to her mouth and asked, "You're back so early?"

Dong'er smiled and said: "I know you must be very busy today, so I will tell Miss Xuanzhen to come back earlier."

"Is she okay?"

"Your body and complexion are much better, and you feel better. You don't have to worry."

"Did you tell her what happened tonight?"

Dong'er nodded and said, "Tell me, she's been practicing hard for the past two days! You gave her another favor, can she cherish it?"

You Xian'er shook her head and sighed: "I can only help her so far. If someone can find her tonight, it won't mean that she will live outside alone in the future, don't you think? You don't know what I said. Did you tell her?"

"Said, she is very grateful!"

"Didn't you say no more about not getting married?"

"No, it looks like he wants to understand."

"It's best if you can figure it out. By the way, Aunt Zhong is still with her?"

"Here, the service is not bad, after all, they are mother and daughter."

"It's the injustice! I don't know how much debt Xuanzhen owed to Mrs. Zhong in her previous life, and she really paid it off! Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with her, let's talk about it after finishing today's work."

At noon, the people of the palace had a reunion dinner in You Xian'er's yard, and then went off to do their own business.The men are all leisurely, and it is rare to be free. They invited the guests who came in advance to go hunting in Huzilin outside the city, and Xixi was busy with the kitchen, busy with the furnishings of Shuiyun Pavilion, and busy with the guests to return gifts. , Busy reception.

Yin Luo did go there in the afternoon, and has been talking with You Xian'er in the yard.From time to time, guests and family members came, and she also chatted with those women in a friendly manner.You Xian'er couldn't detect any crooked intentions in her, so she could only let her go.

When the sun went down, the hunter reluctantly returned to the palace.Yan Amber asked someone to move a bunch of prey to the big room, and when Xi Xi was there, he smiled at Xi Xi and said: "Miss Liang, the master ordered, these things are now stewed, let everyone have a taste! "

"Hmph," Xixi said with her red cheeks puffed out, "Find me another job! He thinks I'm free? You can't finish all the things you prepared, what a waste!"

Yan Amber laughed haha: "Miss Liang, are you angry with the master? Are you angry that he won't take you?"

"It's not rare!" Xixi said, rolling her lovely eyelids.In the afternoon, when she heard that Yuan Yin and the others were going hunting, she was so excited that she wanted to follow, but Mr. Zhao refused to take her there. She was so angry that she drew dozens of circles and cursed Mr. Zhao for not being able to catch a single prey!

"Hahaha...then you take it easy, things still have to be done, the master has ordered it."

Just as she was talking, Wu Ye hurried to the kitchen and said to Xi Xi: "Miss Liang, you should go back to the east courtyard, the prince is looking for you!"

"Aren't you annoying? You just sent me a job and came to me again. Do you think I'm Naruto? Will you still have a clone?"

Xixi explained the prey to the cook, and then returned to the east courtyard.When the door of the inner room was pushed open, Yuan Yin had just finished bathing and was changing clothes. Turning around, he caught a glimpse of her rather "resentful" eyes and asked with a smile, "Are you done?"

Xixi sat down on the armchair, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "I don't want to talk to you, it's great to be able to hunt!"

"Angry all afternoon?" Yuan Yin put on his clothes, sat next to her and asked with a smile.

"Who has time to work? I'm so busy!" Xixi leaned on the back of the chair, swayed her legs and pouted, "I don't want to hold any banquets in the future. I think it's just a dinner party. Who knows what's going on?" How about so many? You guys are lucky, you ran far and wide to play, pity me and Sister Zhuang and the others, huh!"

Yuan Yin reached out and pinched her half-red face and said with a smile: "This is what you should do, and you are still complaining?"

"If you don't take me, don't take it! You still make so many excuses, huh!" Xixi shook her head while holding her tea cup and said, "Sister Zhuang and I, Que Ling, have made an agreement. It's not like I can't find my way!"

"Summer is too hot. I'll take you there in autumn. Don't puff your cheeks anymore. Hurry up and take a bath and change clothes. The wet nurses have already greeted you to the table."

"Really!" Xixi stretched her waist and said, "I'm going to be seated again after I've just been busy. It's really tiring to hold a banquet! It's like holding a wedding banquet at a wedding. I just finished toasting here, and I have to send it off there." I’m a guest, and I can’t even get the root vegetables and leaves to eat! I’m so tired! Should I eat something to fill my stomach first? Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat at all when I pretend to be a lady..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Yin picked her up and threw her directly into the bathtub behind the screen.She jumped twice in the water, grabbed the edge of the bucket to stabilize her body, raised her head and pointed at Yuan Yin and shouted: "Zhao Yuanyin, you want to murder your own wife!"

Yuan Yin propped his hands on the edge of the bucket, tilted his head and pecked her water-stained right cheek lightly, and said, "Excuse me, Miss Liang, if you keep nagging, everyone will just wait for you." There are two of us."

"Then you go out first."

"Are you embarrassed too?"

"Yes..." Xixi held her pink face and said cutely, "You are as pure as a snow lotus, brother, who are you? How can you come into someone's bedroom to peep? You are so innocent A big girl with yellow flowers, if you don't go out, I will call for help!"

"I'll count to three, if you don't hurry up, I'll help you."

"Hey!" Xixi let go of her hand and pouted, "You have no artistic talent! At this time, you should say that even if brother takes advantage of you, brother will be responsible for you, brother will treat you Responsible from head to toe to the end! This answer can match the atmosphere!"

"Liang Xixi..."

"Got it, got it," Xixi waved her hand quickly, "I'll take it off, you can watch it to your heart's content, and don't forget to give a reward before you leave."

Yuan Yin straightened up, took a cup of tea, and asked her about the preparations in the kitchen while watching her take off her wet clothes slowly.The two were chatting when Yan Amber suddenly came.Yuan Yin walked out of the room and asked, "Did the nurse remind you?"

"No, master, someone is coming from Bianjing City."

"Who?"

"Zhang Xianchu, he used to be from Yushitai, but just now he showed Brother Bingcan a copy of his appointment letter, it's the prisoner sent to Jingyou City."

"Arbitrate the judge?"

"Yes," Yan Amber said with a slight frown, "Master, don't you find it strange? I didn't receive any notice in advance, so I just sent here."

Yuan Yin was silent for a moment, and said with his hands behind his back: "This is to deliberately place people in Jingyou City. It's the same whether you know it or not. Is he alone?"

"I also brought two servants, one is a guard and the other is a clerk."

"Understood, let Bingcan greet you first, and I will go later."

"Yes!"

After Yan Amber left, Yuan Yin stood there and lowered his eyebrows in thought for a while, until Xixi changed his clothes and came out, he came back to his senses.Looking Xixi up and down, he reached out his hand to brush Xixi's slightly damp long hair and said, "Let Wuye tie up your hair for you."

"Are you going to tell those people who I am tonight?"

"What else? Continue to let you be Miss Liang? Those who don't know think I'm bullying a girl from a good family!"

Xixi smiled and said, "You're just bullying girls from good families, okay?"
