Chapter 281 I am afraid of the dark at night
Xiao Jin retracted his gaze, "Bring back the right person, it's time for him to get out."
There is no need to get rid of all the people sent by Emperor Kangze. Once the leader is dealt with, it will be much easier to control the others.
At night, Su Ying watched Bai Shuang and the others move all of Xiao Jin's things into her room.
Su Ying frowned and looked at Xiao Jin who walked into the house, "Why did you move your things to my place? Don't you have a place to sleep?"
Xiao Jin said calmly, "The palace is too empty and I'm afraid of the dark at night."
Su Ying: “???”
As if to make his words more convincing, Xiao Jin continued, "All the people in the palace died tragically on the way to exile. Will their wronged souls return to the palace?"
Su Ying sneered, "The blood on your hands is probably as much as that of hundreds or even thousands of royal palaces. Do you think the souls of those people will come looking for you?"
Xiao Jin's face tightened slightly, "So I can't be too far away from you."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"You're scared of ghosts."
Oh!
"roll!"
Su Ying just threw all his things out.
Xiao Jin was pushed out of the door, and when he turned around he saw two big, eager eyes.
Dabao glanced at his father helplessly, shook his head and sighed, "Dad, there is another room next door, you can sleep next door."
Erbao rubbed his nose and said, "Mother's bed is too small. Daddy should not go in and take up space."
"Okay, it works. Let's go in and sleep."
"Goodnight, Daddy."
The two little guys went into the house hand in hand, leaving Xiao Jin alone in the cold wind, feeling miserable.
As soon as she returned to the capital, Su Ying did not rush back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but first learned about the situation in the capital in detail.
Lin Zhuyu got up early in the morning and prepared to go to the big kitchen to see if the breakfast prepared for Su Ying and the others was ready. This was what she did every day before, just so that Su Ying and the others could eat something hot as soon as they got up.
"Uncle He." Lin Zhuyu walked outside the big kitchen and saw He Shouyi busying himself in the kitchen alone.
After he prepared the eight major palace dishes the day before, Wei Xi had nothing to say and let him stay in the kitchen.
But in the past two days, the people in the kitchen seemed to be brainless. They either forgot to buy something or couldn't clean even a chicken properly. Everything had to go through He Shouyi's hands. The chef that Wei Xi had hired before even fell ill, so they asked He Shouyi to prepare meals for the entire palace, including the servants.
He Shouyi certainly knew that these people were deliberately making things difficult for him, but they had no idea that when he was in the northern wilderness, he had to cook for nearly a hundred people every day, which was not a difficult task for him.
Not only can he cook it, but he can also make it delicious for everyone. Even if Wei Xi is unwilling, he has no choice but to let him stay in the big kitchen for the time being.
He Shouyi handed a food box to Lin Zhuyu, "Take it. It's freshly made and still warm. I made an extra portion of hawthorn cake today."
Lin Zhuyu responded with a smile and walked back with the food box.
When she walked around a round arch and came to the corridor, a maid in pink came towards her.
The maid stopped in front of Lin Zhuyu and said, "This servant pays respects to Aunt Lin."
Lin Zhuyu paused and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and realized that the other party was calling her. She almost forgot that she was once Xiao Jin's concubine, but the prince divorced her when they were in the Tiger Camp, so she is a virgin now!
"Don't yell, I'm not an aunt any longer."
The pink-dressed maid looked up in surprise, then understood, "I see that the prince and the princess have a very close relationship. Could it be that the princess can't tolerate me? The prince is such a noble man, how can he not have a few people around him who understand him? I really feel sorry for me."
Lin Zhuyu didn’t feel it was a pity at all!
She glanced at the maid with her eyes as if she could see through everything, and when the maid looked up, she showed a hint of indignation.
The pink-dressed maid laughed when she saw this. "I am Taohong, the maidservant who is in charge of sweeping the princess' courtyard. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. I will do whatever I can for you."
Lin Zhuyu nodded calmly, "Okay."
When Lin Zhuyu returned to the courtyard, Su Ying had just finished washing up with her two children.
"Princess, you got up at the right time. The breakfast is still hot. I wonder what delicious food Uncle He made today."
Lin Zhuyu smiled and took out all the food from the lunch box. There were five dishes and a bowl of porridge, all of which were what Su Ying and the others liked to eat every day.
"Grandpa He's cooking is the best. Everything tastes good."
Erbao was the first to climb onto the chair and sit down obediently. She was already hungry.
"You only know how to eat. Your face is getting rounder and rounder, and you can't even do a horse stance squat." Dabao said these words with disgust, but when he took the meat bun, he still broke it in half and gave half to his sister.
Erbao pouted and snorted, then opened his mouth and took a bite of the meat bun angrily.
"I need to eat a lot so that I can squat steadily."
Just as Su Ying and the others had finished their meal, Bai Shuang came in and said, "Princess, Steward Wei is here and said that the palace has sent palace clothes."
"Let him in."
Wei Xi walked into the room with a bow, and after greeting Su Ying, he asked the maid to bring up three gorgeous dresses, which were to be worn by them at the celebration banquet.
"Princess, please try it with the young prince and the young princess. If it doesn't fit, I will ask the embroiderer to modify it immediately."
Su Ying did not refuse and let Bai Shuang and the others put on the dress.
This palace dress was made according to the princess's specifications, and it fits Su Ying very well.
They had only been back for a short time, and no matter how fast the palace embroiderers worked, they could not have made such an exquisite and complicated dress in just one or two days. It must have been the previous stock that was used again.
The embroiderer who followed took note of the areas that needed improvement and then stepped aside.
Wei Xi smiled and said, "Then I will not bother you anymore, Princess. I will take my leave."
"Go prepare a carriage for me. I need to leave the house."
Wei Xi asked, "Where does the princess want to go? I will arrange for someone to protect her along the way."
"No, just prepare a carriage."
Wei Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, "Yes, I will have someone prepare it right away."
After Wei Xi left, Bai Shuang asked curiously, "Where does the princess want to go?"
"Go outside and take a walk." She said that it was her habit to understand the surrounding environment. Now that she had figured out the palace, she naturally had to go around and see what kind of people and things were around.
"Then let me accompany the princess for a walk." Mother Zhao said.
"No need, just let Bai Shuang follow."
Mother Zhao was a little worried. "After all, the princess has been away from the capital for so long. I am worried that the princess will not be used to the people and things in the capital."
"Don't worry, Mom Zhao. I can sleep in the wilderness, so why would I be uncomfortable here?"
Mother Zhao frowned and almost said, "I'm worried that you'll go out and beat someone up..."
