Emperor Chengde thought about this child who grew up in a temple and had no desires or pursuits. After all these years, he finally met someone he really liked and had a nostalgia for the world of mortals. This should be a good thing.
However, he still had reservations because of his unusual identity: "There are always so many dissatisfactions in life. As a father, I hope that you can maintain your original intention like you do now."
What he can't do doesn't mean that Zimo can't do it. He should believe that one is better than another.
As for the future, let’s make plans in the future. Who knows what will happen to Zimo in the future?
"Let's get down to business as soon as possible. I have to go home to be with Xiyan. I just got married to her, so I should spend more time with her." Zhou Mu changed the topic.
Emperor Chengde said angrily: "You are really promising!"
"My father's praise has been accepted by me." Zhou Mu raised his lips in a soft voice.
In the Zhou Mansion, after having lunch, Gu Xiyan personally selected several maids on night duty and named them Ruby, White Jade, Black Jade and Topaz respectively.
As for whether it will be retained for a long time, we will have to wait and see carefully in the future.
After leaving a few maids on night duty, Qiushi came to her and reported: "Liu Si wants to see the princess and has been waiting outside for two quarters of an hour."
Gu Xiyan almost forgot that there was such a person, "Let her come in."
Soon Liu Huiyan entered with her head lowered, knelt down in front of her and saluted: "Slave, please give your regards to the prince and concubine."
Gu Xiyan lightly raised her eyebrows. This was the first time Liu Huiyan had been so humble in front of her. It was really rare.
"Get up." Gu Xiyan looked calm.
Liu Huiyan stood up as she was told, and said with a respectful look: "This servant has a high fever before. I heard that the prince and concubine asked the doctor to come over and help me with the diagnosis, so I was lucky enough to escape. I came here specifically to express my gratitude to the prince and concubine."
"I just don't want to have a servant die just a few days after I moved in, and I don't want to be in bad luck." Gu Xiyan did not look at Liu Huiyan.
Liu Huiyan's heart felt a little bitter, "Although it is the prince's and concubine's effort, it is a fact that this servant left a life. I actually want to ask this slave, is there still a chance for me to return to the prince's mansion?"
Gu Xiyan was surprised that Liu Huiyan would ask such a question. This was not like Liu Huiyan's temperament.
Liu Si's heart is as high as the sky, how could he return to the Hou Mansion in such a dejected manner?
Furthermore, the world only knew that Liu Si was infected with a serious disease and was dying. How could he have a chance to return to the Marquis Mansion?
"If the princess doesn't say anything, it means that this slave has no chance to go back and become the fourth girl of the Liu family, right?" Liu Huiyan showed a bitter smile: "Everything is the fault of this slave, no one else."
Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Huiyan steadily, "You walked this path by yourself. No one forced you. Since you have embarked on this path, you should know that you have no way back. There are not so many regret pills in the world." p>
Liu Huiyan lowered her head feebly: "I understand. From now on, I will do my duty well and don't dare to think of any wrongdoing."
Gu Xiyan said coolly: "This is your business, you don't need to tell me."
Liu Huiyan said nothing and left respectfully.
When Liu Huiyan walked away, Qiushi frowned and said, "I don't think Liu Si's words can be trusted. The prince and concubine need to guard against her."
Gu Xiyan was thoughtful and did not answer.
"Could it be that Liu Si suddenly woke up because he walked on the edge of the Book of Life and Death?" Chunhua asked.
Gu Xiyan took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "I have been dealing with Liu Si for so many years and I know her temperament well. Liu Si thinks very highly of herself and always feels that she is the best in the world and I am not as good as her in every way.
Today she took the initiative to kneel to me and call herself a slave in front of me, which is very inconsistent with her temperament."
Qiushi nodded repeatedly: "I also feel that something is wrong. Liu Si has finally changed his ways. This thing seems weird."
Gu Xiyan said to Chunhua: "Go and ask Min'er to come in."
Soon Min'er entered, and Gu Xiyan explained to her carefully, and then kept an eye on Liu Huiyan, observing who Liu Huiyan interacted with, and reporting anything unusual to her.
Seeing that such an important task was entrusted to her, Miner happily agreed.
"You remember to keep an eye on her covertly, and don't alert the snake. You have to monitor her every move for a long time, and you need to be patient." Gu Xiyan said seriously.
She can't let a mouse poop ruin a pot of porridge.
Precisely because Liu Huiyan's change of attitude was a bit strange, she felt that this was not like Liu Huiyan's temperament.
Zhou Mu has just returned to the public eye, and many people want to find fault with Zhou Mu. If some people can't get close to Zhou Mu, they may start from Zhou Mu's backyard.
She is the only one in Zhou Mu's backyard, so she is naturally the most conspicuous target.
"Don't worry, Princess, I will keep an eye on Liu Si. If she makes any changes, I will report to the Princess as soon as possible." Min'er responded crisply.
Gu Xiyan waved her hand, "Although Liu Si thinks highly of himself, he is not a fool. Just don't be careless."
"Slave, don't worry." Min'er responded and left.
When Min'er retreated, Hu Die looked confused and said: "It's just Liu Si, he doesn't need to spend so much effort, right?"
"I'm just worried that someone has already put their hands into the Zhou Mansion. Aren't people like Liu Si just easy to take advantage of? I have to be on guard." Gu Xiyan said, her eyes fixed on Hu Die's face. Hu Die felt numb when she looked at her: "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Very scary.
"A simple-minded person like you can easily be taken advantage of. If someone you don't know approaches you, be careful yourself." Gu Xiyan felt it was necessary to give a warning.
Hu Die looked at her innocently, making her heart melt: "If you live with me, you will encounter many complicated people and things in the future. You must be mentally prepared."
Hu Die thought about Zhou Mu's identity and sighed softly: "I think you need to find a military advisor by your side to advise you, otherwise it will be very hard for you alone."
Zhou Mu's identity is so special. Many people inside and outside the palace are staring at Zhou Mu. I guess there are also many people waiting to see if Zhou Mu makes a mistake, right?
"This kind of thing depends on fate, don't rush it. Next, I want to hold the first flower viewing party, but I have no such experience before, so I am afraid that something will go wrong." Gu Xiyan also has concerns.
"It's easy. You can ask Aunt Yin for help. Aunt Yin has experience in running the house. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask her?" Hu Die always thinks things are simple.
"How do you know that Grandma Yin has experience in running the family?" Gu Xiyan said angrily.
Hu Die was stunned by her question, and after a while she said: "Because Nanny Yin looks like she has experience in running a business."
"Mother Yin has lived in Fallen Immortal Temple all these years, where does she get her experience in running a business?" Gu Xiyan didn't want to talk to Hu Die anymore.
When she had time to talk nonsense with Hu Die, she might as well think about how little Gu held a flower-viewing banquet when she was in the Marquis Mansion. When Zhou Mu returns home, she will discuss the banquet with him.
