The reborn male concubine goes into business

"Baida, you go back first." Xiao Xi closed the ledger and returned it to Baida.

Bai Da also noticed, and hurriedly stood up, "Yes, young master."

Holding the account book, Baida walked forward quickly, lowered his head and bowed deeply to Chu Haotian when passing by him, and left in a hurry.

Chu Haotian stood still, looking curiously at the boy passing by him.

"Who is he?" Chu Haotian looked sideways at Xiao Xi and asked curiously.

"A guy from a shop." Xiao Xi replied indifferently.

Chu Haotian walked up to him and sat down, "What are you doing in the mansion?"

"I purchased some items that Fuchu needs in their store, and he just came to confirm with me."

Chu Haotian nodded, didn't bother to think about it, and didn't suspect him, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Why is the prince free in the mansion today?"

Chu Haotian raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xi, "You can't be buried in the room all day to deal with affairs, you have to come out and take a walk."

"Yes, it's a humble job that won't think about it."

Chu Haotian shrugged indifferently, picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully. This is the tea made by Mr. Xiao Xi!Chu Haotian thought teasingly in his heart.

"The prince should also go to Mrs. Zhu'an's courtyard. Mrs. Zhu'an now has the prince's child in her womb, so it is hard to avoid."

Chu Haotian frowned when he heard the words, and put down his teacup heavily, "I don't want to have children!"

Xiao Xi was surprised, and looked up at him, "But the prince must have his own children to pass on the bloodline."

"I don't think so, boy, it's troublesome!"

Looking at Chu Haotian's tightly furrowed brows, Xiao Xi didn't expect that Chu Haotian would explain to him.

"Otherwise, you give birth to me?" Chu Haotian suddenly looked at Xiao Xi and said seriously.

Xiao Xi almost didn't choke on his words, "My lord, don't be kidding, as a man, how could Xiao Xi be pregnant in October?"

After saying this, Xiao Xi caught the evil taste in Chu Haotian's eyes, and realized that Chu Haotian was teasing him.

"Let's go, go see Zhu'an with me." Chu Haotian got up lazily.

"Yes." Xiao Xi frowned and followed behind Chu Haotian.

"The concubine kowtows to the prince and concubine."

Before the two of them went in, Zhu'an had already brought the maid out to salute.

Chu Haotian turned his head and gave Xiao Xi a meaningful look, but Xiao Xi lowered his eyes and did not look up.Zhu'an knew that he would come, maybe it was the news from Xiao Xi.

"Bring Mrs. Zhu'an in, why run away with a child." Chu Haotian gestured to the maid beside Zhu'an, caught a glimpse of Zhu'an's slightly protruding belly, and frowned invisibly.

"My lord and concubine go in first!" Zhu'an said cautiously.

"I was going to go in. Didn't you block the door?" Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows, and stepped into the courtyard, Xiao Xi followed behind.

After entering the house, Xiaolu, Zhu'an's maidservant, went to bring tea and water.

Chu Haotian lazily sat on the main seat, Xiao Xi sat one step away from him, and Zhu An stood resentfully opposite Chu Haotian.

"My lord hasn't come to see Zhu'an for a long time." Zhu'an looked at Chu Haotian with somewhat aggrieved pupils.

Chu Haotian liked her before, but now he couldn't bear to see her like this, so he stretched out his hand to tickle the tip of her nose.

"Why do I do this, you understand in your heart, I think you are the most sensible."

"But Zhu'an really didn't do it on purpose, I did everything according to what the prince said."

Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows, "Is this the king's fault?"

"The concubine dare not, it is the concubine who is wrong."

Chu Haotian sighed softly, "Come here!"

Zhu An resentfully walked to Chu Haotian's side, and Chu Haotian reached out to wipe the tears on her face.

Xiao Xi, who was on the side, kept drinking tea seriously with her head down.As if you didn't hear anything, you didn't see anything.

"You have to protect this child yourself. If you can't protect me, there's nothing you can do, understand?"

"Zhu'an understands, thank you, my lord."

"Okay, don't cry." Chu Haotian said impatiently, and looked sideways at Xiao Xi, "How delicious is this tea? It's better than the one you brewed just now? I'm so reluctant to put down the cup."

Xiao Xi raised her head indifferently, and commented, "Well, this tea is well brewed, who made it? I still want to ask him for advice."

Chu Haotian almost vomited blood, he just casually said that Xiao Xi answered so seriously.

"Let's go back." Chu Haotian got up.

"My lord left so soon?" Zhu'an was anxious, subconsciously grabbing Chu Haotian's clothes.

"If the concubine hadn't told me to take a look, I really didn't want to come here! Well, it's good to have a look, let's rest, let's go!" Chu Haotian walked out first.

Xiao Xi got up, looked at Zhu An's disappointed face, and said softly, "It's best if the prince doesn't blame you anymore, you have to take it step by step."

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Zhu'an saluted sincerely.

When Xiao Xi went out, Chu Haotian was waiting for him outside, this feeling was a bit strange, Xiao Xi coughed lightly and followed his pace.

Chu Haotian raised his eyebrows, "Could it be because of the cold?"

The weather has turned cold recently, so you need to pack more clothes when you go out, Chu Haotian thought he had a cold.Speaking of the wind and cold, he suddenly remembered the appearance of Xiao Xi limp in his arms last time he had a fever.

"No, thank you, my lord, for your concern."

Xiao Xi pulled back Chu Haotian who was distracted.

"However, the weather is indeed much colder recently, and the prince needs to pay more attention. I also have to ask each wife to install a heater in the courtyard." Xiao Xi murmured thoughtfully.

Chu Haotian kept looking at him, his eyes were very clear, and when he said it was time to heat the stove for every wife, his expression was so serious.

The worry in the family is that there are more than a dozen wives that Chu Haotian has never met, five or six who occasionally go around, two or three wives who are interested, and finally the two side concubines.

In fact, thinking about it this way, there are not many wives in Prince Hao's mansion, and they are really few compared to other families!

"It's rare that you, a man, can handle the role of the housewife well." King Chu Hao looked at him and said lightly.

"This is the responsibility of a humble job." Xiao Xi didn't like the word mistress to describe him, but he couldn't fault it.

"How about playing with me on the battlefield when you have time?"

Xiao Xi looked at him in surprise, but King Chu Hao stared straight ahead, "It seems that the Southern Kingdom has frequently harassed my people towards the border..."

Startled, Chu Haotian is leaving again?

"But it's not time for me to go out yet." Chu Haotian looked into Xiao Xi's eyes again.

Xiao Xi didn't have time to look away, and bumped into him in a daze.Just about to bow his head, King Chu Hao approached him and stretched out his hand to lift his chin.Just like that day, the two were very close.Xiao Xi didn't dare to move, his heart beat fast suddenly, Chu Haotian got closer and closer to him, and didn't stop until their lips were about to kiss.

After a long stalemate like this, Chu Haotian suddenly lowered his head, and his lips brushed against Xiao Xi's neck.His lips were icy cold.Most people's lips are warm.

Chu Haotian suddenly laughed out loud, "Your heart beats fast?"

"Yes, I was scared by the prince." Xiao Xi said hesitantly, with a slightly reproachful tone.

"Mr. Xiao Xi is so carefree?" Chu Haotian said lazily, looking up at Xiao Xi with a smile in his eyes.

Xiao Xi was silent, he couldn't laugh at all.

"Okay, I still have something to go out, and I slept in your courtyard at night, and if you don't let me in like last time, I just kicked the door, anyway, it's money from my Prince Hao's mansion." Chu Haotian After leisurely speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Xi suddenly felt depressed, but there was nothing he could do.

"My lord." Luo Yue was already waiting at the door, and told him what the lord told him, "The princess seems to be cooperating with people outside to do business."

"Oh? Could it be that my Prince Hao's mansion has treated him badly? Who is he cooperating with?"

"I don't know him, I only know that the man's name is Zhao Youjing, and he is a merchant."

Chu Haotian nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, do we need to do something?"

"No need, that kid Xiao Xi is very shrewd, he won't be taken advantage of by others, let's get down to business first!"

"Yes."

The two left the Hao Palace one after the other.

After separating from Chu Haotian, Xiao Xi went back to the courtyard to read.After a while, little Taozi hurried in.

"My lord, this is a letter from the prime minister's wife to your family." Little Tao Zi said excitedly, and handed the letter to Xiao Xi.

Under Tao Zi's expectant eyes, Xiao Xi opened the letter and read it.For Tao Zi, the Xiao Mansion was also his home, and he spent several years in the Xiao Mansion. .

"My lord, what did Madam say?" Seeing Xiao Xi closing the letter with a smile, little Taozi couldn't wait to ask.

"I talked about some family matters, and I also mentioned you. I want to know for myself." Xiao Xi handed the letter to Tao Zi.

Little Taozi opened it to look at it, and was very happy after reading it, "My lord, did you see that, Madam told you to take good care of me, a few days ago you still disliked me, hmph!"

"You!" Xiao Xi pointed at him and couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, young master, last time you asked me to keep a close eye on Mrs. Hongmei. I didn't see any clues, but the girl next to her was sneaky all day long, and she was easily scared. Last time I It happened that she fell asleep and was having a nightmare, and in the dream she kept saying 'I didn't do it', but there was only this sentence, and nothing else could be heard." Speaking of business, little Taozi also became serious.

"The girl next to Mrs. Hongmei?" Xiao Xi frowned slightly, "Keep a closer look and tell me what's going on."

"Yes, young master. Oh, yes, just now, Master Xuanming sent someone to invite you to have a drink at Mingxuan Restaurant tonight. Young master, are we going? I feel that since we entered the Hao Palace, we have become estranged from Master Xuanming." Quite a few." Little Taozi scratched his head and said.

Xiao Xi thought for a while, "Well, let's go, I haven't seen Xuan Ming for a long time, I don't know how he is doing now."

"Okay, I'll send someone to answer Mr. Xuanming." Little Taozi hurried over, and hurried out again.

Xiao Xi sighed lightly and shook his head, Xiao Taozi really wanted to change his temperament, he really planned to let Xiao Taozi learn from Luoyue, but for some reason Taozi showed resistance to Luoyue.Xiao Xi was also helpless.
