Huo Xing was extremely embarrassed and hurriedly handed the paper in his hand to Shen Xinyue solemnly, "Back to the princess, yes. This is a list of gifts that the prince asked his subordinates to draw up for the princess to bring when she returns home. Please take a look at it.

The prince said that if the princess is not satisfied with these gifts, she can change them according to the princess's wishes. Everything can be done according to the princess's ideas. "

Shen Xinyue took the gift list and looked at it, thinking for a while, "Si Qi, bring me a pen and paper."

Si Qi was still thinking about the embarrassing scene just now. He was suddenly called by Shen Xinyue. He was startled. Then he quickly lowered his head to get a pen and paper, handed it to Shen Xinyue's hand, and hurried back to where he was. The place stood awkwardly.

Shen Xinyue took the pen and paper and quickly added a few things to the gift list. Fortunately, these traditional Chinese characters were relatively common, so it was not a problem for her.

Huo Xing was confused. According to the prince's wishes, the list of gifts he had drawn up for the princess when she returned home was quite standard, and the items were also quite expensive. Looking at the whole country, apart from the princesses, they were afraid that they would not be able to find any more. The second time comes, why is the princess still not satisfied and wants to add more?

Shen Xinyue handed the list to Huo Xing and said, "I added some more. Do you think it will be difficult for the government to handle it? If so, I will think of other ways."

Huo Xing was puzzled. He took the list and looked at it. He almost turned to stone. Is there such a way to give a homecoming ceremony?

Although he had been following Huo Weilou for many years, he had already developed a calm temperament, so he managed to control his emotions without losing his composure. He replied: "Back to the princess, it is not difficult for the palace to handle these things. Everything can be done according to the princess's instructions." Do what you want."

"Well, please go and call the people in the accounting room who are responsible for purchasing for the mansion. I'll let them do it." Shen Xinyue took back the list and said to Huo Xing.

Huo Xing nodded in agreement and turned around to do it.

Huo Xing turned his head, finally relaxed his facial expression, and shook his head with a look of disbelief.

I sighed in my heart, how many faces does my princess have?

The majesty with which she scolded the servants who despised her was still fresh in her mind. In an instant, she was able to mingle with her personal maids regardless of their status. Such a princess was probably unprecedented and would never come after her.

It's no wonder that the prince looked at her with admiration, and every time he encountered something about the princess, he didn't have the same rules as before.

It’s really one thing that brings down another thing!

Oh no!

One person surrenders one person!

After thinking about it, Huo Xing came to the accounting room and called out the people in charge of purchasing.

When these people heard that the princess was going to arrange for them to buy a homecoming gift for their parents' home, they were so happy that they went to Shen Xinyue's place with smiles on their faces.

"Are you guys responsible for purchasing items in the house?" Shen Xinyue asked with a smile when she saw those people.

"Back to Princess, it's just us. Princess, just give us your orders, and we will definitely make her satisfied." The leader, a man with two tufts of beard on his face, said.

After witnessing Shen Xinyue's power last time, the people in the family are now at least very honest in face, and when speaking, they address each other like a princess.

"Well, I'll spare the trouble for you guys. There are a lot of things that need to be purchased today and it's a bit complicated." Shen Xinyue said again.

"Hey, oh, oh, the princess said this, but it will kill us. I don't dare to say it's troublesome. We servants are doing things for the house - ah - for the princess. This is what the princess has to do when she comes back. The servants will do their best to handle the important matters in the palace to your satisfaction, Princess."

The two bearded men said with a flattering look on their faces, and the rest of the people followed suit.

"Okay. I'll give you the list, go and do it." Shen Xinyue said, handing the list to the two bearded men in charge.

The two beards took the list and glanced at it. They felt so happy that this was indeed a big order. When they saw the following two lines, the corners of their eyes twitched, but they immediately recovered as before and dragged the rest of the people with them. Went together.

"Princess, why did you leave the procurement to these people? They are unreliable." Si Qi looked at the retreating figures of those people and said with some worry.

"Oh? Why is it unreliable? Tell me." Shen Xinyue knew that Si Qi usually didn't gossip behind others' backs, so since she said that, she must know something.

"Hmm~ Actually, I can't tell you exactly why they are unreliable. But I know these people.

The leader with two bunches of beard is called Deng Liuer. He is a distant relative of the old princess. Relationship, there was rarely a time when he bowed his head in the house;

The other two people with him are both relatives of his natal family, one is named Hu San'er and the other is named Hu Si'er. The best way to describe these people together is like a nest of snakes and rats," Si Qi said. .

"As far as I know, you never pry into such trivial matters? How come you know these people so well?" Shen Xinyue looked at Si Qi in confusion.

Si Qi said "hmm" and then said: "Princess, do you remember that I told you that it was the prince who saved me from the fire and water, so I always want to repay him, but you also know that with the prince's ability , I was still young at that time, so what could I do to repay others?

Later, as I grew older, I observed strange things in this mansion."

Shen Xinyue became interested, "What's the strange situation?"

Si Qi thought for a moment, and then, as if he mustered up the courage, he said, "I found that the old princess was very unkind to the prince."

Hearing these words, Shen Xinyue's thoughts were suddenly drawn to the scene when she first entered the house.

The marriage exchange had nothing to do with Huo Weilou, but every time the old princess scolded him indiscriminately. Even when he was seriously injured and almost dying, the old princess didn't care at all. In her eyes, All I see is anger.

Abnormal indeed!

"Princess, you also know that the old princess has two sons, the prince and the second son. The prince is wise and brave, and everyone in the country does not praise him. He also respects the old princess, but the old princess has never been gentle to the prince. Words passed.

As for the second young master, although he never does anything that goes against the rules, he is far different from the prince. However, he has received all the care and love from the old princess."

Si Qi paused here and looked at Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue's face was solemn, "The same sons, one is the eldest son, the regent, who is the lintel and pillar of the palace; the other is the second son, who makes no mistakes but has no achievements. But they are treated completely differently. The partiality is incredible. "

Si Qi nodded in agreement, "Princess, you don't know that every time the prince comes back from visiting the old princess, he always looks very lonely.

Moreover, the old princess blamed all the big and small things in the palace on the prince, whether it was related to the prince or not, and whether it was the prince's fault or not, and the prince almost never argued. Slowly, the prince had less and less time to return to the palace. Already.

So, later on, I started to pay attention to what was going on with the old princess, and then when I was waiting for the prince to return to the house, I thought about telling him something. I wanted him to pay attention, so as not to be scolded by the old princess..."

Speaking of the latter part, Si Qi's voice gradually became softer, and he looked at Shen Xinyue with a timid expression, "Princess, you won't blame me, will you?"

"No. How could I blame you? You did the right thing. You did your best to repay the person who saved you without hurting anyone. You did a great job."

Shen Xinyue smiled at Si Qi and gave her a thumbs up appreciatively.

Although Si Qi couldn't understand what Brother Thumb meant, he knew that the princess was complimenting her, so he grinned happily.

Shen Xinyue fell into deep thought.

This was the first time she heard someone talk about Huo Weilou's situation in the palace.

The old princess's attitude towards Huo Weilou was not accidental, but had always been like this.

It is unreasonable for a mother to treat her son harshly for many years.

Thinking of the noble Huo Weilou in front of others, but in such a situation behind the scenes, Shen Xinyue's heart felt very tight, and she felt sorry for him.

Yes, it hurts a lot.

Perhaps, it's not just heartache, but also sympathy for each other who suffers the same disease.

She thought about before she traveled through time.

Her life in her native family was not satisfactory either. Her parents favored boys over girls and only loved Shen Xinyue's younger brother.

Although she didn't treat Huo Weilou as harshly as the old princess, she always had a cold face towards her.

The younger brother was spoiled and spoiled, and often bullied Shen Xinyue. His parents obviously saw it, but never cared.

Shen Xinyue suddenly thought of something, "What about Huo Weilou's father? How to treat him?"

"The old regent treated the prince very well. He was very, very good. I heard from the old people in the palace that at that time, the old regent treated the prince by holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting. That's all. He started to worship him. He took him to read and write from an early age and taught him how to ride horses and archery. He was very attentive.

Moreover, when the old regent was alive, the old princess was fair to the prince. Since the old regent passed away, the old princess seemed to be a different person, and she was no longer nice to the prince."

Si Qiru said.

"Oh~" Shen Xinyue nodded thoughtfully.

"So, Princess, I don't think it's reliable to ask those people to purchase it. They are from the old Princess's side, and I'm afraid they will do something bad."

Si Qi brought the topic back to its original point.

Shen Xinyue said clearly: "Don't worry. I know what's going on."

If you don't let people do things, their problems will never be discovered.

She deliberately left this matter to them, just to take this opportunity to test it.

The master and the servant talked for a while. After it got dark, dinner was brought to the dining room. After eating, they went to bed early.

The next morning.

Deng Liu'er, Hu San'er and Hu Si'er went to Shen Xinyue's place to communicate.

"Princess, we have already completed everything you asked us to do. This is the list of purchased items. Please take a look at it. If there are no problems, we will go to the accounting room to settle the accounts."

As Deng Liuer said this, he nodded and handed the list to Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue took the list and not only read it, but also read it out slowly in front of everyone. After reading it, she asked with a half-smile: "I'm afraid these prices are wrong. My mother-in-law is in business, so I know something about it." .But it’s far different from the prices you paid for it.”

When Hu San'er and Hu Si'er heard this, they both looked wrong, with sweat dripping from their foreheads, and they turned their eyes to Deng Liu'er.

Deng Liuer didn't take it seriously, repeated the words he had prepared in his mind, and replied with a flattering look on his face: "Princess, you don't know something.

The prices of the items you know at your parents' house are all private. How can we, the prince, buy them privately? Princess, this is a homecoming gift for you, so you must pay attention to it. We all go to official stores specifically. Choose

It's the top quality stuff there.
