Wangfu Shenyuan

It wasn't until after Haishi that Xiao Jin came back accompanied by Mr. Hu. After the two of them talked a few words, Mr. Hu resigned.Xia An hid on the bed and pretended to be asleep, when he heard someone open his door, walked to the bed, and said pitifully, "Xia An, you don't even wait for me."

Only then did Xia An reveal her brows and eyes from under the quilt, and said with a grin, "How could I not wait for you." Putting on her shoes and getting out of bed, and putting on her coat properly, Xiao Jinfang believed it, and then looked at the snacks on the table, and immediately Zhuanxi: "Ah, you're doing well. You bought so many snacks and hibiscus cakes. Huh, what a delicious wine."

"I know you like it."

"Hey, the 'miracle doctor' is here too, I miss you so much." Xiao Jin went to hug the lazy dog ​​on the bed, but was threatened by baring his teeth, and helplessly spread his hands: "What an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

The two old friends met for the first time, and talked all night without knowing it.From Xiao Jin's mouth, Xia An learned about the hidden things in the inner courtyard.Although the prince dotes on Lan Xiang, he seldom asks Mr. Lan Xiang to sleep with him in recent days, nor does he give him a title.Mr. Lanxiang's life in the inner courtyard is getting more and more difficult. No matter how high the status is, it is difficult to control the helpers hired outside the mansion to go to other people's inner courtyard. They can only ensure that Mr. Lanxiang's life will not be threatened.

Just when the people in the Lanxiang Courtyard were gradually withering, the manager suddenly wanted to go away on business, and the prince actually handed over one of the most important courtyards in the outer court to Mrs. Lanxiang instead of the side concubine. This is not only a favor, but also a way of life.

In addition to the Adu courtyard, there are several small courtyards in the outer courtyard assigned to Mr. Lanxiang for management.

The storeroom of the outer court——Mingxuan Courtyard is undoubtedly to be managed by the master's mother.It would be best for the side concubine to get a big kitchen, but it's just a lot of oil and water, and she has no rights.

As the two talked, the sky began to turn pale.Xiao Jin had to deal with things during the day, so he went back to his room to sleep.Xia An was forced to develop the bad habit of not sleeping at night, and started to deal with work while he was not feeling sleepy.

According to Rongli's instructions, he behaved as his deputy chief, and he honestly completed the tasks assigned by his superiors, and never made up his mind when encountering any problems.

When Mr. Lan Xiang first came, he naturally had to make some adjustments.Xia An was lucky enough to have a lot of work, and escaped the hardship of listening to training for two consecutive days.Mr. Lan Xiang thought of Xia An's kindness, and usually treated him leniently, because the change of power in the outer court had little impact on Xia An.

It's just that the heavy workload made him crazy, and Rongli only said he wouldn't come at night, but he didn't come on the second or third day, and he didn't agree with Xia An on where to go in advance.This made Xia An feel uneasy, and wanted to ask the prince where he had gone, but he didn't know who to ask.

Xiao Jin is Mr. Lan Xiang's confidant, Xia An hesitated and asked again and again: "Is the prince in the mansion recently?"

"Why do you ask this?" Xiao Jin yawned, it was already very late.

"Just asking casually. Didn't the prince want to present a plum feast? I have a few guest lists that I dare not write down. I want to ask the steward to ask."

Xiao Jin put down the book, and the light in his eyes was uncertain: "Yes, it's just about this matter, you can ask Steward He to ask the supervisor in charge, so as not to disturb the prince. Go quickly, I also have several brochures here to read. "

Xia An walked back dully, suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "Xiao Jin, I remember you can't read a few words, right?"

"Haha, I have been studying with you for more than half a year, how can I not improve." Xiaojin's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject: "You have grown a lot, too, and you have become a master in the yard. Hurry up, young man You have already been given a day's time, and if you can't finish it tomorrow, don't blame the young master for beating you up mercilessly."

Xia An lowered her eyes, covering her doubts.It is not uncommon to be able to read without hindrance in just half a year. It is a bit too big to be able to read the complicated chronicles and account books in the warehouse from being unable to count numbers.

Together with Qingtu, they went to the Huaying Court to confirm the guest list again. The Luoqiu Pavilion was in charge of the palace's foreign reception, and the manager Zhang Fucheng was a fat old man.He looked at the long list that Xia An handed over, raised his eyebrows together, and asked, "Why are there more?"

"Master Lan Xiang ordered it to be added." Qingtu replied respectfully.

Mr. Lan Xiang has a lot of power now, and Director Zhang doesn't dare to offend him rashly. After looking at it, the few more he invited are also descendants of aristocratic families with noble status, so it's okay to invite him to the palace as a guest.The concubine invited a few, and the concubine added a few. This Mr. Lanxiang already has the title of "fascinating all living beings". How can he have no friends outside the mansion? It's just the relationship between them, it's hard to say.

After receiving the reply, the two left the Luoqiu Pavilion, and bumped into the person Xia An must meet when going out.Xia An was happy, and when he kowtowed, he raised his head to give Rong Li a look, but he didn't expect Rong Li to look at him, instead he asked Qing Tu to ask about the plum feast.

"It's okay, just follow Lan Xiang's wishes." Rong Li said lightly.

Seeing that Rongli wanted to leave, Xia An was anxious and interjected regardless of his dignity: "My lord, do you have to follow the same specifications for the invitations for the princes?"

The Second Prince and the Fifteenth Prince are now the most popular in the court, and the Emperor also treats them differently, so if the Prince wants to befriend the two of them, he should pay more attention to small details on the invitation.This matter was discussed behind closed doors at the Adu Academy, and Manager He had already said that the color of the dragon claws on the invitation cards for the two lords should be slightly yellower, so Qingtu didn't understand why Xia An suddenly brought up this matter to ask the lords .

Rong Li sneered and said: "Why, now that such a trivial matter has to be handled by the king himself, why are you slaves still supporting me?" His words were very angry, and all the people present turned pale and lowered their heads holding their breath.Qingtu hastily pulled the silly Xia An to kneel down to plead guilty.

A male sex adds a few people to the list, and the prince will ask a few questions, how to deal with the relationship with the princes is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.Everyone was confused, but the prince has always been eccentric, they just thought that the little boy's words annoyed the prince, so they didn't think much about it.

"My lord, please spare me." Qing Tu tugged at Xia An's sleeve, but the latter refused to beg for mercy, so he had to intercede instead.When the prince is angry, it always kills people. I didn't expect that Xia An, who is always cautious and doesn't like to show off, would talk too much at this time, which would arouse the prince's anger.

Unexpectedly by Qingtu, the prince was annoyed by such a sentence, had nothing to say, turned around and went into Luoqiu Pavilion, without even giving the order to beat him.Qingtu sat paralyzed at the side, seeing Xia An suddenly get up and walk towards the courtyard gate, he hurried to catch up.

"It's okay, Xia An, don't be afraid." Qingtu thought that Xia An was too scared to beg for mercy, but when he caught up with him, Xia An's face was full of anger, and he was not even a little scared.

Xia An and the prince have been sweet for many days. Although the prince occasionally bluffs and yells at Xia An, he really just takes advantage of Xia An and is never willing to let Xia An get hurt.

I'm afraid that Xia An is just a vice-principal, and he will be wronged in life.Yinsi charcoal squeezed Adu courtyard to use first, still worried about not enough, so Xia An was frozen, and sent secret guards to deliver some to Xia An regularly.One piece of clothes was torn off, and two pieces were given away. From the robe to the obscene trousers, Xia An blushed unceasingly.Food and drink are naturally indispensable, Rongli's sleeves and bosom are not full every time.

Now Xia An has learned what it means to be proud of being favored.Rongli's usual trump card - the tactic of using his identity as a prince to suppress Xia An, has completely lost its effectiveness.

Back at Adu Courtyard, Qingtu was called away by Manager He, unable to catch up to persuade the angry Xia An.To be scolded by the prince is enough, this is probably what the servants of the whole prince's mansion could only wish for.Why is Xia An still angry? How dare he be angry with the prince?

The "miracle doctor" was hiding in the room gnawing on his bones, when suddenly Xia An threw his fur onto the bed and ravaged him for a while.Rolling his eyes, Xia An said in a sad tone: "I'm familiar with you, you white-eyed wolf, but look at him, when he's in a good mood, he's a smiling Rongli, and when he's in a bad mood, he's an unattainable prince."

"Although I am humble, he knows that I still have dignity in my heart, but today he humiliated me in front of everyone. How can I be embarrassed?" In fact, if it were the same as before, what is it to be scolded by Rongli? Some are just scared.But now, the prince is not only the master, but also a friend, the person who does the most intimate things, and the person Xia An has the most heart-to-heart relationship with in the palace.

"Say it, why don't you talk." Xia An angrily picked up the ear of the "miracle doctor".

Xiao Jin, who was eavesdropping outside the door, suddenly felt that he was a jerk, and he sold his friend within a few days after entering the Adu Courtyard.But he is also very difficult to do, the master is his god, if he is asked, can he not say anything.At that time, he advised the master not to lose his temper, but the master, who had always been forbearing, was so impatient.

He opened the door and went in, and said with a smile, "Hey, what's the matter, are you playing with 'Miraculous Doctor'?"

Xia An's heart trembled when he heard the sound of "creaking". He was thinking about whether to ignore the person who came in in a fit of anger, but he heard Xiao Jin's voice in disappointment.

"Well, I'm a little tired from work, so relax." Xia An bit her lower lip hard, turned over and got off the bed, found out all her treasures from the box, packed them up quickly, and said decisively: "Do you like food?" Take it all."

Xiao Jin was stunned: "You don't want it anymore?"

"... Mmm." Looking at it made my heart stop.

"Then I'll take it all?" Your lord, you've given me a lot of money.

"...um...hey, wait, why don't you leave me the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing."

He kept busy until noon, when He Cheng came over to urge Xia An to eat.Xia An himself was also hungry, thinking that even if he was angry, he couldn't make things difficult for his body, he still wanted to redeem himself.

The big kitchen has changed from the bustle of the past, these days the servants in the mansion dare not speak loudly when eating.The rules of the big kitchen have also changed a lot. In the past, people of different identities took meals of different specifications. For example, Xia An, as the deputy chief, could eat two meats and one vegetable, rice as he wanted, and as for the soup, everyone could drink whatever he wanted.

Now it's different, the big kitchen has set a monthly meal plan for people of different levels.When eating, all dishes can be taken at will and recorded in the account.At the end of January, if you eat too much, you have to pay for it yourself. If you eat less, you can save it to the next month, or exchange it for cash.

Xia An likes the new rules very much, now he only needs a bowl of rice with a vegetarian dish, and the food is far worse than that of He Cheng and the others.But he can still receive another sum of money every month, and the day when he leaves the house is much closer.Anyway, there are many snacks in the house, so I am not afraid of being hungry.Of course, snacks are now in Xiao Jin's room.

He Cheng and the others were very distressed that the big kitchen canceled the private banquet, which made them

How to pass the long night?

"Hey, it seems that your mother-in-law brought your daughter-in-law here." He Cheng poked the dazed Xia An with his arm.The latter followed his eyes puzzledly, and saw Chef Shen chatting and laughing with a young girl behind her. The two girls were also looking at Xia An. Seeing Xia An looking over, the girl was shy and timid bowed his head.

He Cheng and the others laughed in low voices, but Xia An didn't understand what they meant.It's not certain if it's Chef Shen's daughter, even if it is, it doesn't matter to him.He has already made up his mind that as long as he stays in the palace for one day, he will not get married and stay with the prince wholeheartedly.To marry a wife and have children, you have to wait until you redeem your body, so that you can live up to your ancestors and Qing.

According to his current monthly silver, he can redeem himself in 30 years.But he will be promoted to a higher position, and the moon silver will rise a lot, so the time he set for leaving the government has been changed to 20 years.In this way, when he leaves the mansion, he will only be 37 years old. If he marries a younger daughter-in-law at that time, it should be no problem to have a few offspring.

Chef Shen came over, holding a purse with a light green scent of plum blossoms in her hand, touched Xia An's head and said, "How old is the child this year?"

"It's time after the new year." Xia An felt uneasy, maybe Shen Chef really meant that.

"Although you are not very old, in our house, it's better to make plans early. I heard that you have no relatives. I'm afraid you don't have anyone to take care of you?" Chef Shen drove He Cheng away and sat down by herself. down.

Xia An said, "No."

Chef Shen smiled more and more happily. Seeing that Xia An was eating light and oil-free food, she frowned, and called the girl who was busy in the kitchen: "Hurry up and roast a chicken for Deputy Director Xia, I want the whole one."

Back in the courtyard, he forced himself to focus on his work again, and didn't even eat dinner.Xiao Jin hesitated but couldn't help pulling him to the Third Courtyard: "Are you going to get engaged?" God, will there be peace in the palace?

Xia An raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jin, then nodded.

Xiao Jin was so frightened that his voice trembled: "You, you and me, I will tell the truth."

"Yes, Chef Shen's daughter is beautiful and well-behaved, and she is at the age of marriage."

"What does it matter to you when she reaches the age of marriage, and you have not reached the weak crown, what kind of marriage is it?"

Xia An looked coldly at the angry Xiao Jin, suddenly let out two weird laughs, entered the room without looking back, and locked it.Xiao Jin, who stayed where he was, couldn't help wondering: Did he know?

It was just getting dark, and the moon was frightened by the icy atmosphere of the palace behind the dark clouds, only the snow gave off faint fluorescence.A figure stepped on the snow, opened the window and jumped in.

Xia An drank most of the jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, usually he didn't want to get drunk, and fell down when he drank it, but this time he wanted to fall down, but he couldn't get rid of the sobriety in his mind.

He was mercilessly picked up by the collar and fell onto the bed, but he smiled silently.Rong Li tore off his clothes in twos and twos, also smelling of alcohol: "Do you like her?"
