Drunk Bamboo

In the early morning, Xie Yuzhu was not disturbed by anyone, and no one urged her to get up. Instead, she slept until she didn't want to sleep anymore and got up on her own.

Yes, in fact, she had already woken up. But she still didn't want to get up.

When Huaqin Feng was setting, the sun had just risen to the right position, and the temperature was neither too cold nor too hot, which was very comfortable.

In the past few days, Hua Qinfeng has been going out early and coming back late, and has not been seen since.

Xie Yuzhu got up alone, washed and went to Bailianxuan for breakfast.

I didn’t see Hua Qinfeng at breakfast today, but I did see Xiao Bingxin.

At this time, Hua Qinfeng should have left the court. He always had a stern face these past few days. Except for going to bed on time at night, he was hardly seen at other times.

Similarly, Chaoyang, who followed beside him, was seen less often.

Xie Yuzhu was puzzled. Didn't they make it clear the night before? Why was he still angry? Was it because he was accused of being a homosexual and that irritated him again?

Isn't this too stingy?

Shouldn't Hua Qinfeng be like this?

Xie Yuzhu sat down absentmindedly, not noticing the stiff atmosphere around him.

The nanny sat upright. Bai Guo looked unhappy. He wanted to pick up the chopsticks to eat, but the nanny glanced at him and he dared not move.

Lao Liu hung his head and said nothing, while Yun Ling stood beside Xiao Bingxin. Seeing that his proper master had arrived, he hurriedly stood behind Xie Yuzhu.

Recently, Yunling has arranged Xiao Bingxin's food, clothing, housing and transportation. Xie Yuzhu doesn't need anyone to serve her in the morning, so Yunling is always by Xiao Bingxin's side.

"Princess, sister-in-law, is this how everyone eats in the mansion?"

Xiao Bingxin was dressed in red, smiling charmingly, and glanced at the people present out of the corner of her eyes.

What I mean is, do servants also eat at the same table with the prince and princess?

Everyone at the dinner table understood the meaning of her words.

His expression remained unchanged, only Bai Guo stared with a pair of big eyes and said angrily:

"We in the Feng Palace always eat together. Even if the prince is here, he will eat with us!"

Xiao Bingxin didn't even look at Bai Guo, but smiled at Xie Yuzhu.

Her voice was gentle and tender, and also helpless: "Princess Sister-in-law, are all the people in the palace so disrespectful?"

Xie Yuzhu looked indifferent and motioned Yunling to sit down.

Then he smiled and looked at the nanny, Baiguo, Lao Liu and Yunling in front of him.

"They are all my and the prince's family. If Fourth Miss Xiao is not used to it, I can ask Yunling to bring the food to the room, and Fourth Miss Xiao can eat alone in the room like she did the past two days."

After saying that, he gave Xiao Bingxin a gentle smile again.

Xie Yuzhu: He is indeed a troublemaker. He has been quiet for only two days, but as soon as he goes out, he starts stirring up trouble. Is he trying to make the palace uneasy?

"Sister-in-law Princess is indeed the most kind and amiable. She treats servants like her own family. Anyone who enters the Feng Palace must have accumulated a lot of virtue in the previous life to have such good luck."

As he said this, he glanced at Baiguo.

"Snap——" The chopsticks in Baiguo's hand were broken.

Xie Yuzhu said calmly: "Don't talk while eating, and don't talk while sleeping. Miss Xiao Si should just sit down and eat well."

She suddenly smiled brightly and looked very well-behaved.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Princess Sister-in-law. Let's eat."

The meal was peaceful till the end.

Xie Yuzhu sighed secretly.

It's amazing that General Xiao has such a funny daughter.

After breakfast, everyone tacitly pretended to be busy and did their own things. They didn’t talk much to each other, and they understood each other with just a glance.

Xie Yuzhu returned to Changfeng Courtyard and saw that the flowers and plants in the courtyard were overgrown and a little messy. She had not taken care of them during the days she was recuperating, so she happened to have some free time today.

So I took out the scissors and trimmed the flowers and plants in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Bingxin also came to Changfeng Courtyard.

"Does Princess like to plant flowers and plants? Are all the flowers and plants in this yard planted by Princess?"

The soft and delicate voice was so coquettish that Xie Yuzhu's scalp tingled when she heard it.

His face remained calm.

He said indifferently: "It's used to kill time when I'm bored."

The graceful figure walked into the flowers step by step, and it seemed that flowers were blooming with every step, gorgeous and colorful.

Xiao Bingxin bent down slightly, tilted her head, and smiled at her: "Sister-in-law Wang Fei is really gentle and calm. I never thought that Brother Feng would like someone with the temperament of Sister-in-law Wang Fei."

With a click, a flower stalk was cut off.

"Your Majesty has granted me the marriage. This is a marriage destined by heaven."

Xiao Bingxin raised her head and looked at the spring scenery in the garden, without any appreciation in her eyes.

"Have you never thought about not becoming a princess? If you have someone you like before your majesty grants you a marriage, will you disobey the imperial decree?"

Xie Yuzhu straightened up and walked to the other side.

"There is no need to assume that there is no possibility. It is meaningless. The fact that Fourth Miss Xiao does not like the marriage arranged by the general does not mean that all marriages arranged by parents are unhappy."

Xiao Bingxin's gaze slowly shifted to her busy body.

While carefully cutting the flowers and plants, she said:

"Before I married into the palace, I had no idea what the prince's personality was like. After I married him, I lived with him and got to know him every day. Most of the rumors about him were not true. If you believed them, you would have missed out on such a good person."

With a light laugh, Xiao Bingxin raised a hint of mockery and confusion in the corner of his eyes.

"Brother Feng doesn't understand romance. Doesn't Princess Sister-in-law find it boring? Life should be colorful. What's the point of guarding the western border all day and getting up early and going to bed late every day to practice martial arts?"

And Xie Yuzhu happened to see this scene out of the corner of his eye.

She was not angry, but straightened up and looked at Xiao Bingxin.

"The generals and lieutenants should have the same ideas and practices as the prince. Fourth Miss Xiao is the person they are closest to and love the most. She should be able to understand their desire to serve the country."

Xiao Bingxin was slightly startled.

His purpose and intentions were seen through at a glance, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The blow hit her vital point.

The person closest to her.

"It is said that people who do not show their emotions on their faces are extremely cunning people, but my sister-in-law, the princess, is an exception." Xiao Bing's eyes showed admiration.

Xie Yuzhu spoke calmly and gently, but she said the sharpest words.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Fourth Xiao," he said calmly.

Xie Yuzhu: How can I compare to you, who speaks with sarcasm and has hidden meanings. If I am not careful, I will fall into your trap.

Hua Qinfeng was right, not a word she said could be believed.

If you're looking for trouble, there must be something going on.

I don't know what's on her mind.

But it's certainly not a good thing.

Xie Yuzhu was confused, because Hua Qinfeng was nowhere to be seen at this time.

"It seems that no matter how I pretend in front of the princess and sister-in-law, it's useless. No matter what I say, the princess and sister-in-law will not get angry and are calm and composed."

Xiao Bingxin sighed, "Ah... Brother Feng hides when he sees me. He wanted to set a trap for the princess and sister-in-law and ask her to help me. I didn't expect that after just a few words, he would talk about his own worries. I'm afraid that if we continue to talk, the princess and sister-in-law will tear my heart out."

Xie Yuzhu was stunned.

Then she said something shocking:

"That day I deliberately looked at Brother Feng affectionately. I think the princess saw through it at a glance and didn't mind at all."
