Chapter 280 People’s hearts will change

How could He Shouyi not understand the implicit meaning of Wei Xi's words? He knew that he was not going to give up the control of the kitchen.

"How about this, let's go and ask the prince who he wants to stay."

The smile on Wei Xi's face immediately faded, "Why, you want to use the prince to suppress me? Who do you think you are! Well, it's not impossible for you to be the chef. That night you can prepare a meal of the eight major dishes of the palace. If the prince and the princess are satisfied, I will let you stay."

He Shouyi nodded without any fear, "Okay."

On the other side, Su Ying and Mother Zhao returned to the courtyard where they lived before.

Before, Xiao Jin lived in the main courtyard, and Su Ying lived not far from him.

"Qinglan Pavilion." Su Ying looked up at the plaque on the gate and felt familiar yet unfamiliar.

Familiar because of memory, strange because it was her first time in this place.

"Princess, everything you see is really curious, as if you have never been here before." Mother Zhao couldn't help but laugh when she saw Su Ying's expression.

Su Ying raised her eyebrows. She had never seen him before. "I've been away for too long. I always feel strange."

Mother Zhao couldn't help but sigh when she heard her words. Yes, when the princess just left, she was still a girl with Xiao Jue on her mind. Now... fortunately, she has changed.

Wei Xi had someone clean up the yard, but since no one had lived there for a long time, no matter how newly decorated it was, it was still not very popular.

The yard is very big, divided into the front yard and the back yard. She lived there alone before. She could have brought her two children with her, but because she didn't like them, she let them live alone.

Now that she is back, Su Ying does not plan to let the two children sleep alone. There are so many people of Emperor Kangze in this mansion, and she can only feel at ease when the children are under her nose.

After entering the palace, the two little guys followed Su Ying closely, as if they were afraid that Su Ying would run away in the blink of an eye.

Su Ying carried them into the house. Su Ying was not picky about where to stay, but the conditions here were indeed very good.

"This old man He has been gone for such a long time, how come he hasn't even cooked a bowl of noodles yet? Princess, please sit down for a while, I will go to the main kitchen to take a look."

Su Ying nodded. She was also a little hungry.

Lin Zhuyu took out two bags of snacks that she had bought on the road from her bag and gave them some to fill their stomachs.

After half an hour, Mother Zhao finally came back with a few bowls of noodles.

Su Ying saw that her expression was not good, and was afraid that things were not going well in the kitchen. "What's wrong?"

Mother Zhao held back and said, "Now that the prince and princess have just returned, the servants in this mansion are not used to recognizing their masters. But don't worry, princess. Let them wait for two days. If they are still like this, it's time to change them."

Su Ying smelled the steaming noodles and her appetite was already whetted.

"Don't worry, Madam Zhao. There will always be a time for them to kowtow. You don't have to stay here. Go eat something."

Mother Zhao understood Su Ying's habits and everyone withdrew.

"Mother, Ling'er wants to sleep with you tonight."

"Ji'er wants it too." This time Dabao was not vague and expressed his attitude very clearly.

Su Ying pinched their little faces and said, "No problem, eat the noodles first and take a rest after you are full. Mother will accompany you."

After getting Su Ying's promise, the two little guys started eating with peace of mind.

As soon as he returned home, Xiao Jin went to the study.

When the palace was raided before, all the movable items in the palace were carried away.

He looked at the study. The books on the bookshelf were no longer the ones he had originally visited. Even the position of the bookshelf had been moved. It seemed that his study had been visited by many people after his house was searched.

He knew what they were looking for, but there was no way those people could have guessed where her things would be.

"Your Highness, we have contacted all the people who stayed in Beijing." Jiang Yang walked into the study and whispered.

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, "Don't be anxious, just wait and see. I've been gone for so long, people's hearts will change." Especially in a prosperous place like the capital, how many people can stick to their camp?

"Your Highness is right. I am only in temporary contact with you. I have nothing else to say."

"The prince has just returned, and everyone is waiting and watching. Don't worry, the show hasn't started yet. Take control of the outer courtyard of the palace first. Go and invite Zhang Shuming back tomorrow."

Zhang Shuming was a eunuch who served Xiao Jin in those days. Later, when Xiao Jin was crowned king and set up his own residence outside the palace, Zhang Shuming followed him. But one year after Xiao Jin went to war, he let Zhang Shuming leave the palace to retire.

At that time he was still fighting, and no one would pay attention to a steward of a royal palace. When the Prince of Qi's palace was ransacked, naturally he would not be blamed.

"Yes, I will send someone to find out the details first and go there tomorrow."

"kindness."

After Jiang Yang left, Xiao Jin walked around the study, as if he was confirming something, and then left the study and went towards Su Ying's yard.

Su Ying had just put her two children to sleep and was preparing to take a walk around the palace.

She is used to getting to know the terrain of an unfamiliar place as soon as possible, just in case.

She was about to go out when she saw Xiao Jin walking in.

He had changed into a dark purple python robe. The dark color gave him a fierce aura, and he gave off an air of "keep away from strangers".

Xiao Jin stopped when he saw her coming out, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go around the palace."

"I'll go with you."

Su Ying did not refuse. She asked Bai Shuang and the others to look after the two treasures and then left the yard with Xiao Jin.

"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Jin took her hand very naturally.

Su Ying was observing the situation around her and didn't notice anything strange about his behavior.

"Starting from the main gate, take me to every place in the palace."

Xiao Jin laughed and said, "You lived here for so long, how come you forgot everything?"

Su Ying said calmly, "I've been through so much that I've forgotten some things. If you don't want me to, I'll go by myself."

Xiao Jin held her hand tighter, "I'll take you with me, otherwise you'll get lost."

Su Ying felt that the possibility of her getting lost was zero, but since Xiao Jin wanted to be her guide, there was no reason for her to refuse.

The two of them walked hand in hand as if they were taking a stroll, and went around every corner of the palace. The people serving in the palace also saw their intimate behavior.

Wei Xi was watching the intimacy between the two from behind, and was extremely surprised. It had only been a short time since the King of Qi and his wife were exiled, so how come they were like different people when they returned?

Wei Xi secretly wrote down every move of the two and planned to send a message to Emperor Kangze tomorrow.

Xiao Jin took Su Ying to a pavilion to rest, and his eyes quickly swept away from the corner where Wei Xi was hiding.

Su Ying knew there was someone behind her, "When are you going to get that person out?"
