Chapter 328 Like Him?

The next day, Gu Huan met Min Dongsheng.

He rushed back from the military camp.

Mu Junyan has not returned home for the past few days, and Gu Huan doesn't know how things are going over there.

"My Lady Princess, what's the matter?"

Min Dongsheng didn't even have time to go back and change his clothes, and rushed into the palace in a hurry.

Gu Huan was surprised when she saw the mud on his body and the beard on his face.

In the past, Min Dongsheng always kept himself neat and tidy even when he was in prison, and combed his hair meticulously. Why does he not care about his image now?

"Sir, please take a seat. You must have worked hard on coming all the way here."

Just as Gu Huan was about to ask Dong Qing to get some snacks, she saw Dong Qing coming in with a cup of tea, followed by a maid bringing three kinds of snacks.

"Look, Dongqing has become the head housekeeper, why does she still come to serve tea and water in person?"

Gu Huan smiled.

Dong Qing blushed, and as she handed the teacup to Min Dongsheng, she whispered, "Your Highness Princess is making fun of me. I just passed by and saw Mr. Min coming. His shoes were covered in mud, and he didn't even change his robe. He must have been in a hurry to get going. It's just past lunch time, so he must have not had time to eat. He must be hungry. So I asked someone to go to the kitchen to get some ready-made snacks."

Min Dongsheng looked at Dong Qing in surprise.

After not seeing him for a few months, Holly seemed to have matured a lot and became more observant.

He looked down at his shoes again and found that they were indeed covered in mud. The carpet was covered with his muddy footprints, so he quickly shrank back under his robe.

My face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sorry for stepping on the dirty carpet."

Dong Qing said hurriedly: "It's okay, it's okay. After Mr. Min finishes talking with the princess, I will have someone clean it up."

"Thank you." Min Dongsheng couldn't help but look at her again, and felt that the girl seemed much more beautiful than before.

Gu Huan's eyes flickered across the two people's red faces. When had Dong Qing ever observed a person so carefully and considerately enough to think that he might be hungry?

Have they ever had a deeper connection?

Min Dongsheng smiled and bowed: "Female chief steward? Dong Qing has become the chief steward? Congratulations."

Gu Huan smiled and said, "She is very capable now. In time, she will be able to take over from Sister Zhilan and become the real female manager."

Min Dongsheng gave Dong Qing a thumbs up and said, "Very good. I said that the girl is kind-hearted and will get what she wants one day."

Dong Qing's ears turned red, and she bowed quickly: "I'll take my leave."

"Dongqing, didn't you say that Mr. Min didn't have lunch? Go and tell the kitchen to make something delicious for Mr. Min."

Holly nodded: "Yes."

She turned around and signaled the other maids to leave. She also carefully closed the door halfway and asked the serving maid to stand guard ten steps outside the door.

The maid couldn't hear the conversation inside, but she could see what was going on in the room, so if anything happened she could respond immediately.

Min Dongsheng kept his eyes on Dong Qing, and couldn't help but smile when he saw her hurriedly leave after giving detailed instructions to the maid.

"The princess is really amazing. She has trained many capable women."

Gu Huan smiled and said, "It's not me who cultivated them. They have their own ideas and are willing to work hard."

Min Dongsheng nodded: "Ms. Dongqing is a child with lofty ambitions."

Gu Huan was so curious that she couldn't help asking, "Does Mr. Min know Dong Qing well?"

"Oh, I don't know much about it. It's just that every time the princess wants to see me, she asks Miss Dongqing to pass it on. Sometimes when we are walking along the road, Dongqing likes to ask some questions. I saw that she is studious and can read, so I gave her a few books. Sometimes when we meet, Miss Dongqing will ask me some questions about the books. After a few times, we are somewhat familiar with each other."

Gu Huan exclaimed, "I see."

She didn't expect Dongqing to be so studious. No wonder she felt that Dongqing had changed a lot after being with her for two years.

Although she is quiet and doesn't talk much, she is becoming more and more efficient in her work. Every time Zhou Zhilan is not free to report matters in the mansion, Dongqing is the one who conveys them. She is clear and organized, has quick thinking, and is cautious and meticulous in her work. That's why she thinks Dongqing can take over Zhou Zhilan's job.

It turned out that Min Dongsheng had instructed her.

Gu Huan got back to the point: "How is the prince doing?"

"My princess, the recruitment is going smoothly. We have already added 6,000 new soldiers. Dali has also sent 5,000 excellent war horses. The weapon forging camp has also been reopened. I know that the princess has also started recruiting female soldiers. This is great. The princess is really as capable as any man!"

Gu Huan said quickly, "Mr. Min, let's not talk nonsense. I urgently summoned you here because I want to discuss something with you."

She briefly recounted the Pei family's affairs.

"I think that since the Pei family has noticed something, then Bian Jing must also be aware of it. The prince's plan is bound to be carried out."

Min Dongsheng nodded: "The prince wants to delay the launch until the princess gives birth to the child."

"I know he is worried about me, but some things can't wait. If we are moving, Bianjing must be moving too. We have to lay some groundwork first and win the hearts of the people."

Min Dongsheng looked at Gu Huan and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any plans? Tell me about it."

At this time, Dong Qing's figure appeared ten steps outside the door, just enough for Gu Huan to see her.

Gu Huan waved to her, and she walked in with her head lowered, carrying the lunch box.

Gu Huan pointed to the coffee table in front of her and said, "Let's eat here."

Dongqing gently put the food box down, opened the lid, and reached for the big bowl inside.

Min Dongsheng saw a big bowl of noodles, steaming hot, which must have been very hot.

Looking at Dongqing's white jade fingers, afraid of burning her, he quickly stood up, called "Come here", and reached in to get the bowl.

When Dongqing saw him reaching out his hand, her face turned red and she quickly retracted her hand. Unexpectedly, their fingertips just happened to touch and slide past each other.

Min Dongsheng didn't notice and continued to get the bowl.

Holly seemed to be stung. He quickly retracted his hand and took a step back. His pretty fair face turned as red as a ripe apple.

Min Dongsheng said happily: "Wow, such a big bowl, so tempting, it must be delicious. Thank you Miss Dongqing."

Dongqing was so panicked that he swore and ran away.

Gu Huan looked at Dongqing curiously, who was running faster than a rabbit. Dongqing, who usually walked in small steps, seemed like a different person.

Looking at the bowl of noodles again, she started drooling.

The dish uses the best silver thread egg noodles, topped with sauce made from braised pork, two eggs, and a plate of lush green vegetables.

Min Dongsheng felt a little embarrassed and put the bowl away: "My queen, let's finish our chat first and then I'll eat."

"Eat it while it's hot. You can talk about things only after you're full."

Gu Huan smiled and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Min Dongsheng's stomach was growling with hunger. In order to get here early, he hadn't even had breakfast. In addition, he had been staying up late every day discussing tactics and drawing maps, which consumed a lot of physical energy. He ate from the same big pot as the other soldiers, so his appetite also increased.

"Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Watching him eat voraciously, he took half of the egg in one bite, and half of the yellow egg liquid flowed out.

Gu Huan raised her eyebrows: "This noodle was made by Dong Qing herself. She is the best at cooking scrambled eggs. She can always control the heat and cook the scrambled eggs until they are half-cooked."

Min Dongsheng slurped the noodles and nodded: "Delicious, delicious. Excellent cooking."

Gu Huan turned her head and looked out the window, but Dong Qing was gone.

He couldn't help but smile, picked up the teacup and took another sip.

She also wants to eat the runny eggs.

She will have to ask Dongqing to make her a small bowl of egg noodles herself later.
