"Snapped!"
The door was slammed shut by Xiao Hongdou, and she slid to the ground with her back against the door. Perhaps out of nervousness, she still held the package of broken tea cakes tightly in her hands.
no one.
no one.
No one can follow the palace, right?
Reason told her that she was safe, but the lingering feeling of fear still made her heart pound and she swallowed with nervousness.
What did you just hear?
Xiao Hongdou's mind was spinning rapidly. She heard so many words that she really didn't know what to think about.
His Highness wants to build a building, and the two people talking to him want to make profits from the construction!
Not only that, one of them also wants to be pregnant with His Highness's flesh and blood. If she succeeds, I'm afraid His Highness...
I'm afraid something unexpected will happen to His Highness!
She stood up suddenly and wanted to go out anxiously, but suddenly paused for a moment and was stunned.
In his arms was the exorbitantly priced tea that cost twenty gold yuan.
Little Hongdou's mind gradually became clearer. The jade plaque left by her father that usually lay between her collarbones had left her side for the first time because of this incident.
Although this tea is fragrant, it is not canary bud by any means.
Her nose was sore and her eyes were red.

Han Dongwen was walking in the garden.
This garden was not a serious imperial garden. A serious imperial garden was very large, and it was not located next to the dormitory. Not only did it contain beautiful scenes of the four seasons, but it also had many rare animals for him to enjoy.
What he is visiting now is just a small courtyard next to the dormitory, with some flowers and plants growing in it.
Following him was an unfamiliar palace maid. She almost didn't dare to look at Han Dongwen's face and always answered him in the simplest words.
"what is this flower?"
"Your Highness, this is Magnolia."
A dialogue that cannot be called a dialogue.
Han Dongwen sighed in his heart. It seemed that the people whom Lord Wen had offended still accounted for the majority.
No, "offended" is too understatement.
Injury should be more appropriate.
He shook his head and started thinking about other things.
If Yihong Tower is built, it will definitely face a huge deficit in the beginning.
However, I had calculated with Taishu Pavilion before that An Haijin could support Yihong Building for about half a year. When players enter, Yihong Building, as a "rest point" designed by me, should generate some income from players.
What do players play?
Complete tasks, eliminate regional threats, wipe out thieves, and drive away monsters.
These are real good things, and the rewards for players are also paid from the national treasury and the budget of the three departments, or from the pockets of the individuals who issued these tasks.
Then, it is also a very reasonable mechanism to allow players to spend and stay in Yihong Tower to repatriate some money.
In reality, this is equivalent to a country that has a lot of strong labor force for no reason.
This is a great thing!
He was thinking happily when he suddenly heard several quiet conversations coming from outside the courtyard.
"What are you doing?"
"Please, sister, I really have something to report to Your Highness..."
"Go, what's the matter with you! Don't disturb His Highness's pleasure for a while, say the wrong thing, and hurt everyone!"
"I……"
Han Dongwen frowned, turned around and walked out of the garden quickly, only to see two palace maids in front of him blocking another girl dressed as a palace maid, preventing her from approaching.
He took a closer look and said doubtfully: "Little Hongdou?"
When the two maids heard His Highness's voice coming from behind them, they hurriedly turned around and lay on the ground: "Your Highness!"
It is disrespectful for a palace maid to turn her back to His Highness.
Perhaps in order to excuse himself, one of them hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, please forgive me. The servants talked a little too loudly and disturbed Your Highness's flower viewing. Your servants..."
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Hongdou behind her quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report to you. Please listen to me!"
Xiao Hongdou spoke in a loud voice, which was like a needle prick to the ears of the other two palace maids, exposing their lie of "talking loudly".
They gritted their teeth one after another.
Han Dongwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Get up, little Hongdou, follow me back."
"yes."
Several palace maids agreed in unison and stood up. Han Dongwen walked towards the bedroom, and Xiao Hongdou immediately followed him.
"correct."
Han Dongwen seemed to have remembered something. He paused for a moment and turned to look at the remaining two palace maids: "Since she has something to ask me for, you all made the mistake of talking too loudly. What crime is this?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The two palace maids immediately fell back on the ground with a plop, daring not to make a sound.
Han Dongwen pondered for a while and then said seriously: "From now on, you must be practical and truthful. I have already set the rules today, so don't shirk any more nonsense because you are afraid of offending me!"
He said it very politely. After all, Xiao Hongdou still had to survive in Yingchun Palace. If she was too strict at this moment, it would probably make her life very difficult.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Their voices were trembling.
"Walk."
Han Dongwen walked quickly towards the bedroom without looking back. Xiao Hongdou looked at the two palace maids lying on the ground, pursed her lips, and finally turned around and followed.
——————
In the bedroom.
Han Dongwen fell into a long silence as he listened to Xiao Hongdou's detailed explanation of what he had just heard in the teahouse.
Xiao Hongdou also understood that this was His Highness's habit. He would never answer important questions quickly, nor would he express his thoughts too rashly.
Dad once said that this is called lying without thinking, and it is very rare.
"Xiao Hongdou, do you think they know your identity?"
Han Dongwen touched his chin and said in deep thought.
When Xiao Hongdou heard Han Dongwen ask herself this, she hesitated for a moment and then shook her head: "Slave... I bought tea cakes and left. The only person who has seen my face is that guy."
Han Dongwen nodded, gently closed his eyes and began to think.
He blamed himself a little.
This is no simple strategy game!
This is not the kind of game that costs two thousand dollars to shoot and build on a base.
This money was obtained from the hands of the National Legal Affairs Bureau, so the National Legal Affairs Bureau naturally wanted to take some of it back.
And their approach is to get kickbacks from shoddy projects.
After the imperial edict was issued, the construction of Yihong Mansion was put on the agenda. There must be many choices that can be manipulated by then.
Who can buy wood and masonry materials from?
Who will do the construction?
Man, who do you want the singer from?
Han Dongwen discovered that he could not control any of this.
I thought it was simple at first!
He was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Please let me think about it in advance from Yihonglou. You also said that one of you wants to, uh, want to be pregnant with my child?"
Xiao Hongdou blushed slightly and nodded.
Han Dongwen sat back on the chair, folded his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "Give birth to my child...my child..."
