When Princess Kang Yi arrived at the palace, she could only visit Princess Yunqin. The concierge sent a message inside, and finally Butler Zhou was forced to come out to receive the guests.
"Your Highness Princess, stay safe." Housekeeper Zhou saluted politely, "The Princess is out. If there is anything that Your Highness has to do, I can convey it to you."
"It's nothing important. I'm out of the palace today and just stopped by to see Auntie Huang." Princess Kang Yi winked, and the maid Hong Mo quickly stuffed a small, heavy purse into Butler Zhou's hand.
Butler Zhou wanted to know what Princess Kang Yi wanted to do, so he did not refuse and naturally put his purse into his sleeve pocket.
When Princess Kang Yi saw Butler Zhou accepting the purse, she said, "I heard that King Nan Rong Chun lives in the house... I wonder if you can spread the word for me?"
Kang Yi originally wanted to ask if Prince Chun lived in Prince Yun's Mansion, but then she thought, it would be better to let the housekeeper pass the news directly. In this way, whether she could see Prince Chun or not, she could confirm whether Prince Chun lived in Prince Yun's Mansion.
Here, Kang Yi suddenly felt that his mind had never been spinning so fast.
"Prince Chun went out with the prince early in the morning, and he is not in the house now." Housekeeper Zhou has long been used to his master not being at home. But when Princess Kang Yi asked this question, he suddenly felt a little bit 'abandoned' by his master at home.
bitter.
"Oh." Although Princess Kang Yi didn't see anyone, she was sure that Prince Chun was indeed living in Prince Yun's Mansion. She could comfort herself that the trip was not in vain.
Butler Zhou sent Princess Kang Yi away and ordered the servant to close the door of the house. He took out the purse that Princess Kang Yi asked the maid to stuff into him from his sleeve pocket, and opened it. Inside was a five tael gold ingot. It was indeed the legitimate princess.
What a generous move.
Mingruo woke up and found that she was still in space. She raised her hand and patted her forehead: "It's broken."
Mingruo hurriedly left the space, forgetting that Prince Ping had just completed the operation. If Prince Ping had just completed the operation, if something unexpected happened and the old apprentice came to her, she would not be able to hear him in the space.
Mingruo opened the door and walked out.
A Yuan hurriedly came to greet him: "Master, you're awake."
"Well, did anyone come to see me in the medicine hall just now?" Mingruo asked as he walked to the small living room.
"No." A Yuan shook her head, "Do you want to have snacks now?"
Mingruo looked at the sky, it was almost tea time: "Bring it up."
"Wait a moment, I will heat it up again. It will be ready soon." A Yuan turned around and went to the kitchen.
As soon as A Yuan brought the steaming snacks, Si Haochen came too.
"Ruo'er." Si Haochen looked at the princess with gentler eyes than before.
Mingruo rolled her eyes unceremoniously, her gentle appearance was all a lie: "Humph!"
"Why aren't you happy when you see your husband? Your husband is here to take you back to your home." Although his little princess is very independent and independent, Si Haochen can feel that every time he takes her back to his home, his little princess is very happy.
The girl is still very useful.
"Stay there and don't disturb me from eating snacks." Ming Ruo waved her hand as if she was shooing away mosquitoes.
"I haven't had lunch yet, and I'm very hungry." Si Haochen could only pretend to be pitiful, trying to see if his wife could still feel sorry for him.
He also knew that he had gone too far last night. But there was nothing he could do about it. He didn't have experience either.
Mingruo gritted his teeth and pretended to be pitiful again, thinking that he hadn't been fooled enough last night!
But looking at Si Haochen's dry and peeling lips, he probably wasn't lying: "Go and wash your hands before eating."
"Okay." Si Haochen stood up and walked to the shelf with the copper basin. He washed his hands first and then wiped them dry with a cloth.
When Si Haochen sat back at the dining table, Mingruo had already asked A Yuan to bring him another pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Si Haochen picked up his chopsticks, looked at the colorful candy cakes in front of him, and asked: "What are these?"
"This is a colorful sugar cake with purple rice filling in the middle. The round one is brown sugar and sesame glutinous rice cake, and the crescent-shaped one is plum vegetable bacon glutinous rice cake." Mingruo took a piece of sugar cake and ate it in small bites.
Si Haochen thought for a moment, then took a glutinous rice cake with pickled vegetables and bacon to try. The taste was okay, but he didn't like eating sticky snacks like this and was not used to it.
"Where is my fifth brother?" Mingruo turned his head and looked at Si Haochen.
"He stayed in the army for a few days to help train the navy." Si Haochen had a naval force given to him by the Supreme Emperor, but it had hardly been used in battles. At most, he helped local governments with disaster relief when there were floods.
Now, with Yan Zhaobai, a practical navy commander, Si Haochen naturally wanted to capture young men and train the navy well.
"Huh?" Mingruo was a little suspicious - Fifth Brother and Si Haochen, when there was a 'foreign enemy', the two of them must be in agreement with the outside world. But in private, they were definitely fighting openly and secretly. How could she not believe that Fifth Brother would help Si Haochen?
Where is Haochen training his troops?
Si Haochen naturally knew where Mingruo was suspicious: "If he can make the navy the way I want, I will give him ten telescopes."
"..." Mingruo looked at the sky speechlessly. Is her fifth brother worth ten telescopes? What about the promise that "wealth cannot be promiscuous" and "power cannot be subjugated"?
Si Haochen scratched the bridge of Mingruo's nose: "It's very safe in the army."
"Oh, just be safe." Mingruo always felt that Feng Muyuan was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity. He would not give up easily after locking the target. What's more, this time, he would definitely find a way to regain his position.
of.
Mingruo went to the 'ward' again to check on King Ping's condition, and after making sure there was no major problem, he went home with his boyfriend.
As soon as the two returned home, Butler Zhou told the prince and the princess in detail about Princess Kang Yi's visit, what she asked, and how he answered. Finally, he also gave the gold that Princess Kang Yi had given him.
The spindle was also 'turned in'.
Mingruo didn't expect that the unruly and willful Princess Kang Yi, who was so good at doing things, would actually stuff a 'red envelope' for Butler Zhou: "Just keep this, it's rare for the princess to give you a reward."
"Thank you, Princess Concubine." Butler Zhou is an old man in the house, so naturally he won't talk nonsense for money. But he always felt uncomfortable accepting the gold. Now that the princess is sure, he feels that the gold is not so hot.
Mingruo spread his hands and said, "It seems that your pig is still working hard to support my cabbage."
"Ignore her." Si Haochen didn't pay attention to Kang Yi's little trick.
It was night, and a group of people protected a man wrapped in a black robe and came to the mountain range where the jade mine was located.
Since the troops that Si Haochen will bring back to the imperial capital are stationed here, with the mine valley as the center, no one is allowed to enter at will within ten miles. Occasionally, if mountain people hunting or cutting firewood wander in by mistake, they will be warned by the patrolling soldiers.
Ichiban.
The patrol at night was not particularly strict. The group of people entered the perimeter from the adjacent mountains. Going further in, they would encounter patrols almost every short distance, making it difficult to penetrate deeper.
