Drunk Bamboo

"I..." Hua Qinfeng felt that whatever he said was wrong.

Chaoyang added, "Which woman in Zhongdu has such a good temper as our princess? Not only can the princess tolerate the prince's willfulness, she has helped him before entering the palace. The prince will return to the west sooner or later, and no one will cause trouble for Nanny Baiguo Laoliu in the palace. But the princess is different. She is the princess of Feng Wang and the legitimate daughter of Xie. If she doesn't want to follow the prince to the west, she can only stay in Zhongdu. During festivals, palace dinners, and banquets held by various families, the princess has to attend. The prince is free in the west, what should the princess do?"

Xie Yuzhu was outside the door and heard everything that happened inside the room.

It turns out that Nanny and Chaoyang not only care about Hua Qinfeng, but also take her situation into consideration. This is surprising and touching.

"Weren't we just talking about the palace maids being transferred back? How did it get to Xie Yuzhu?" Hua Qinfeng was a little annoyed, feeling that he was being lectured for no reason. "She has only been in the palace for a few days, and you all side with her. Did Xie Yuzhu drug you?"

Nanny Bai slammed the table and said, "My Lord, don't talk nonsense!"

Chaoyang's face was filled with sorrow and coldness: "My Lord, are you still in the mood to joke? If you had half the composure of the princess, would my nanny and I have to worry about everything?"

He turned his face away and said unhappily, "I don't ask you to worry about everything."

Chaoyang frowned: "What does your lord mean by this?"

"I am responsible for what I have done, and I will not implicate anyone in the palace. If I do something wrong in the future and am punished by my father, you can just take Madam Xie Yuzhu and the others away. I was born into the royal family, and my identity cannot be changed, but my personality is like this, and it cannot be changed."

"Your Highness..." Chaoyang's face suddenly turned pale and lost his expression. "Your Highness, do you think we are all redundant?"

Nanny Bai also frowned.

The air in the room suddenly became stiff.

At this time, the door was pushed open, and Xie Yuzhu walked in slowly and upright.

Dressed in white, with the gentle sunshine behind him, he moved slowly, neither sad nor happy, calmly and peacefully, and quietly resolved the deadlock in the house.

In a gentle tone, he said, "You have misunderstood the prince."

Hua Qinfeng stood up: "Thank you Yuzhu?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yuzhu. Bai Guo was already standing behind the nanny.

"The prince mentioned to me last night that the palace maids should return to the palace. The prince is not particular about small matters and does not like to be served by servants. When he discussed it with me later, he also knew that I like quietness and do not want to be followed by others. But before making a decision, he was very hesitant because he cared about Nanny and Chaoyang. The prince said that if he did not listen to Nanny, Nanny would follow him to the western frontier. He was afraid that Nanny would not be used to the life in the western frontier and was worried about Nanny's health. He wanted Nanny to spend her old age in Zhongdu. The prince also said that Chaoyang was both civil and military, and could have become an official. He did not need to worry about him all day long. He felt guilty about him. Now he is so young, but his hair has turned gray."

Nanny Bai and Chaoyang's eyes softened instantly.

"I……"

As soon as Hua Qinfeng opened his mouth, Xie Yuzhu came to him, held his hand unnoticeably, and signaled him not to speak.

Xie Yuzhu smiled slightly and continued, "Yuzhu knows that everything Nanny and the people in the palace do is for the prince and for my own good. The prince and I are already husband and wife, and we prosper together and suffer together. I found that the queen is warm and quiet, and very considerate. Before she paid her respects and left yesterday, the queen told me that if I have any troubles in the future, I can discuss it with her. The prince said that he had lived in Changle Palace for a period of time, and the queen treated him very well, so she agreed to the prince's decision and let him go to the palace to ask the queen for help."

After a pause, he showed a guilty look on his face, "I have only been in the mansion for three days, and I have never been to Zhongdu before. I have never met high-ranking officials, nor have I dealt with interpersonal relationships. It is inevitable that I will not think things through. Nanny and the people in the mansion have all grown up with the prince, and they must know more about Zhongdu's affairs than I do. If I have done anything wrong, I hope you will forgive me."

Xie Yuzhu spoke in an orderly and logical manner, and it was hard to tell what she had done wrong, and she even admitted her mistakes. Nanny Bai and Chaoyang didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I did it all. Why are you admitting your fault?" Hua Qinfeng stood in front of her and said to the nanny, "Mammy, if you want to scold someone, scold me. Don't scold Xie Yuzhu. She is the only one who can talk. I did it all!"

Xie Yuzhu: Can you please stop talking for now? I finally managed to move Mama and Chaoyang. The moment you started talking, the atmosphere became funny.

Xie Yuzhu admitted Hua Qinfeng's mistake, and Hua Qinfeng was willing to be scolded for her. In the eyes of Nanny Bai, the two of them supported and protected each other, and their feelings were sincere.

"It is more important than anything else to see that the prince and princess are of one mind." Nanny Bai smiled and called out to Xie Yuzhu, "Yuzhu, you are a good child. You have only been in the palace for a few days and you have seen the unrest in the palace. Don't be afraid, we are here. Although the Feng Palace does not cause trouble, it is not something that anyone can mess with."

Xie Yuzhu held Mammy's hand: "Yuzhu has made a note of this."

Hua Qinfeng stared at Xie Yuzhu in confusion, not understanding what had just happened. Soon, he let it go. Anyway, the nanny was not angry, and the house returned to its former quietness, so he didn't think much about it.

Chaoyang gave another good comment on Xie Yuzhu: responsible.

Nanny Bai looked at the time and said, "We have been busy talking, but it is already lunch time. How about we eat here today?"

Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "Okay." She thought to herself that the atmosphere in the mansion had just gotten better, so she didn't want to talk about Yunling for now. She could only say that she and Yunling were not destined to be together.

A bloody storm turned into a warm scene in an instant.

After a while, Baiguo put the food on the table.

Mammy said to Chaoyang, "Sit down and eat together."

Chaoyang glanced at Xie Yuzhu and said, "Mammy, this is against the rules..."

"It is said that the prince and the princess are one. The prince is the princess and the princess is the prince. We should eat the same way we usually eat. Nanny also said that we should eat together, so stop pretending and sit down quickly. I'm hungry." Bai Guo sat down happily, pulled his sleeve, and urged him to sit down and eat quickly.

Hua Qinfeng glanced at him and said, "Do you want me to ask you to sit down?" He had already pulled out a stool.

Chaoyang then sat down.

Bai Guo: "Lao Liu said he was out doing something. I've left some food for him in the kitchen. No need to wait for him."

Aunt Bai nodded.

The five of them sat together to eat, feeling the long-lost intimacy. Xie Yuzhu's eyes gleamed with a glimmer: "Did you always sit together to eat before?"

Hua Qinfeng took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Bai Guo and said, "Before you came, there were only five people in the palace. When Chaoyang and I were not here, there were only three of us. Naturally, we had to sit together to eat. It would be lonely to eat alone. When we were in the military camp, we also ate together. This way, the food was more enjoyable."

Nanny Bai said kindly, "Lao Liu and I used to follow Concubine Shu and watched the prince grow up. Chaoyang was the prince's tutor, and we grew up together..."

Bai Guo took over the conversation with a smile and introduced himself: "I was picked up by the prince on the battlefield, and the prince watched me grow up. Hehe, the princess is the prince's person, and we are all a family from now on."

Xie Yuzhu responded softly.

No wonder Hua Qinfeng cares about them so much. Although these people have no blood relationship with him, they are the ones who truly accompany him and witness his growth.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chaoyang asked, "Princess, are you not used to eating with us?" After all, her status was not appropriate.

"I have been weak since I was young and often bedridden. I seldom have the opportunity to eat with my family." Xie Yuzhu smiled tenderly, "I haven't sat down to eat with my family for a long time. I miss it very much."

Chaoyang finally felt relieved.

Hua Qinfeng raised his head and said, "We are sitting together and eating, what are you missing?"

Xie Yuzhu picked up the bowl and chopsticks: "Your Majesty is right."

"Eat more meat. You're so thin." Hua Qinfeng picked up a large piece of meat and gave it to Xie Yuzhu.

Then, Bai Guo said: "Princess, please try this steamed fish."

Chaoyang: "I'll serve the princess a bowl of soup."

Aunt Bai: "This vegetable is not bad either."

There was only vegetables but no rice in Xie Yuzhu's bowl.
