Pearl was also waiting outside, "Our princess trusts the prince and doesn't mind. You should also say less."
Amber whispered, "I know, so I didn't dare to say it in front of the princess. I just said a few words to you."
Mo Zhaohua quickly came out of the bedroom, "Amber, follow me to the kitchen to see how the lunch preparations are going."
Although Double Ninth Festival is not a major festival, there are guests in the mansion and Xiao Yan's injury has healed a little, so they specially held a banquet today.
There is a small kitchen in Mo Zhaohua's courtyard, and Amber is responsible for all meals. Chu Xuanchi basically eats with her in the backyard.
Therefore, she rarely went to the kitchen on weekdays and only went there to take a look when there was a banquet. This was also one of the daily duties of the mistress.
The big kitchen is responsible for the meals of the people in the mansion every day. The place is spacious and there are many people on staff. They are now busy preparing lunch.
After Mo Zhaohua left, they all came over to pay their respects. She asked a few simple questions and watched for a while before leaving.
At this moment, Chu Xuanchi was still in Fangfei Garden, persuading Mu Xueyan in a good-tempered manner, just because she wanted to go out for a walk today.
Mu Xueyan was very puzzled, "Brother Yu Wang, Xue'er has been in Shengjing for such a long time, why don't you let Xue'er go out to play?"
Chu Xuanchi explained, "There are many noble people in Shengjing City, and you haven't learned all the rules yet. If you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, you'll be in danger."
Mu Xueyan disagreed, "You are the Royal King, and you have military achievements, what is there to be afraid of? If the snowman really provokes someone, the other party should be afraid."
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense!" Chu Xuanchi knew her temper, so he was worried about letting her go out because it would easily cause trouble.
"Xue'er, promise not to cause trouble. Can't you just hide from whoever you see?" Mu Xueyan felt bored in the house and really wanted to go out.
Chu Xuanchi also knew that he couldn't keep her trapped forever, "Wait a few more days, when I have time, I will personally accompany you for a walk."
If she is trapped for a long time, she might lose her temper, which is a small matter, but sneak out, which is a big matter. She had done this before when she was in southern Xinjiang.
At that time, Huaying and Yueying were watching her, but she ran away anyway. Therefore, even he didn't dare to force her now.
Mu Xueyan pouted, "You said the same thing last time, but Xue'er has been waiting for so long, and you still didn't take Xue'er out."
"The king will take you out in a few days. How about that?" Chu Xuanchi originally planned to take her out of the house with Mo Zhaohua in a few days.
Mu Xueyan was finally comforted, "Okay, this is the last time. If Brother Yu Wang breaks his promise again, Snowman will not agree."
"How can I break my promise?" Chu Xuanchi explained, "I originally said that I would go when I have time, but I am really busy these days."
Mu Xueyan asked curiously, "Brother Yu Wang doesn't have to fight the enemy in the battlefield or attend court now, so what is he busy with?"
Chu Xuanchi had no intention of saying more to her, "You won't understand these things even if I tell you. Anyway, the king will take you out in a few days."
Mu Xueyan stopped talking, "Okay, then Xue'er will wait."
Chu Xuanchi ordered, "It's almost time to have dinner. Let someone invite Xiao Yan."
Because Xiao Yan had to recuperate from his injuries, he rarely left the yard, and the court physician would come to check on his injuries every day.
After resting for so many days, his complexion has improved a lot, and it is no big deal for him to go out now.
During the dinner, Mu Xueyan invited him, "Mr. Xiao, we can't go up to see the distant view today, so how about we go to the garden to appreciate the chrysanthemums?"
Xiao Yan's temperament is somewhat similar to that of the Crown Prince, and he is also gentle and elegant. "I wonder if the Prince and Princess are free to come together?"
"The chrysanthemums in the back garden are really blooming beautifully, and there are also some dogwoods. Unfortunately, we have to go out this afternoon, so we can't accompany you."
Chu Xuanchi had finally waited until Double Ninth Festival so that he could have an excuse to go to the Fuguogong Mansion for a medicinal bath, so it was impossible for him to stay and accompany the guests.
Mu Xueyan asked, "Where is Brother Yu Wang going now? Didn't he just go out this morning? Can you take Xue'er and Young Master Xiao with you?"
How could Chu Xuanchi take them with him? "I am going to pay my respects to Zhao Zhao's grandparents. I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to go with me."
Mo Zhaohua said politely: "Miss Mu is my husband's sister, and the owner of Prince Yu's Mansion. I'll trouble you to greet Master Xiao today."
"I know. I would have called you even if you didn't tell me." Mu Xueyan's tone was not very good, but it had been like this since she came to Beijing.
At first Chu Xuanchi would scold her, but after Mo Zhaohua said it a few times, he stopped talking so as to avoid making Mu Xueyan hate her even more.
Xiao Yan is rather silent, and rarely speaks unless someone asks him. But today, he looked at Mo Zhaohua a few more times.
To be precise, look at the bracelet on her hand.
***
Prince Qi's Mansion.
After lunch, Chu Xuanhan went to the study.
After he sat down, he asked Leng Feng, "Today is Double Ninth Festival, has the King of Jin left the palace?"
Leng Feng stood in front of the desk with his head lowered, "No, the Prince of Jin has neither entered the palace nor visited the Left Prime Minister's residence."
"Strange, Father only removed him from his post and did not put him under house arrest. Given his temper, how could he endure this for so long?"
Chu Xuanhan would think about other people when he had nothing to do, especially those who might influence his chances of succession, the Crown Prince and Prince Jin being the first to be affected.
Leng Feng guessed and answered, "Perhaps it's because Concubine Shen is pregnant, and Prince Jin intends to stay in the mansion to accompany her. She is also very favored."
Compared to Li Ying, Shen Xiyue is indeed more favored, otherwise King Jin would not have considered letting her compete for the throne of queen.
Chu Xuan sneered coldly, "Shen Xiyue alone can keep him? If she had this ability, the backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion wouldn't be so lively."
In addition to being addicted to alcohol, the Prince of Jin was also quite lustful. The primary reason why the Princess of Jin was out of favor was that she was famous for her talent but not beautiful.
Shen Xiyue is beautiful and can indeed win the favor of Prince Jin, but he will not favor her alone and will continue to add people to his backyard.
It's a pity for those concubines. After the favor is over, they are forgotten. Some die, some go crazy, or they fall to the point where even the servants bully them.
Leng Feng continued to report, "Prince Yu and Princess Yu entered the palace again today, and they went to the same places as His Majesty, the Queen, the Queen Mother, and Concubine De."
Chu Xuanhan's eyes were grim. "Since Old Five married that bitch, he has not only been willing to attend palace banquets, but he has also been entering the palace more often."
Leng Feng added: "This time, Prince Yu stayed in the Qinzheng Palace longer than usual, and happened to meet the Crown Prince when he went to Fengyi Palace."
Chu Xuanhan frowned slightly, "What a coincidence?"
Leng Feng subconsciously asked, "Master, do you suspect that the prince did this on purpose?"
Chu Xuanhan did think so, "Whether it is true or not, only he knows!"
Leng Yan suddenly spoke up, "Not only has Prince Yu long lost his military power, he has also become a waste. It's useless to win him over, right?"
Henry Chu sneered, "Even if he loses his military power, he still has prestige. Besides, the prince can use him to consolidate his so-called reputation."
When good news continued to come from Southern Xinjiang, he also regarded Chu Xuanchi as a strong opponent, but he no longer took him seriously after he was seriously injured and disabled.
Chu Xuanhan paused and said, "Make arrangements. I will also go to the palace this afternoon. I cannot be outdone by a loser in matters of benevolence, righteousness, and filial piety."
