"What? Are you stunned?"
Defu denied it repeatedly:
"No, no, that's not the case. I saw that this raccoon slave disliked people the most. I was afraid that if I made a noise, it would startle it and hurt Miss Xu."
Lu Yanli glanced at him calmly.
Although nothing was said, Defu made up his mind never to look at Miss Xu again.
After this incident, Lu Yanli no longer had the mood to look at Xu Zhiyi and left in anger.
Not long after, Nanny Yu came up to her. Because the prince had gone to see the old lady before, she thought he took it to heart and didn't keep a close eye on her.
When I heard today, I found out that she only knew how to cook in the small kitchen and serve the prince every day, and she didn't do any work.
So I spent 2,000 taels to buy a young cook, and she also had to dress nicely and serve me?
After receiving the old lady's order, he came to Xu Zhiyi with a cold face:
"Did I buy you to come back and cook? I'm telling you, don't try to be sneaky or offend the old lady. The mansion has many ways to deal with the servants."
After taking a look at Xu Zhiyi, who was frightened and pale, he planned to give him a blow and then a sweet date:
"The prince is good in every way. There are so many people in the palace eyeing your position. If you really get favored, it will be a huge fortune. You will help the prince take a bath and rest tonight."
He glanced again at the clothes she was wearing.
"Don't wear this when you're serving as a bathing attendant at night. Know your identity. The mansion is full of the old lady's people. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
What Nanny Yu didn't say was that the prince only had time in these few months, so the old lady naturally wanted her to quickly test whether there was anything wrong with the prince's health.
Immediately select a lady from the capital for him, have her marry into the marquis's mansion as soon as possible, and give birth to a son or daughter for the prince.
The prince's appearance and family background are the best in the capital. Many people want to marry him, but unfortunately, he just doesn't want to get married and would rather stay in the military camp every day.
The old lady now has several candidates in her hands, one of whom is a young lady from her mother's family, who is always good at making the old lady happy.
Xu Zhiyi thought about it and felt that it had been a few days, so it was about time.
I made a careful meal at noon and planned to go there in person today.
Before she could say anything, Defu cried and begged her to save him.
She took advantage of the situation and set the table as he suggested, with peach blossom-shaped flower cakes, steamed lamb with wine, tofu soup, spicy radish, shrimp with jade belt, stuffed eggplant, and boiled pork slices.
When placed on the table, it is well arranged.
Xu Zhiyi remembered Defu's instructions and served the food to the prince in order, explaining as he served. After the meal, the prince indeed ate one more bowl of rice than usual.
Lu Yanli was also very pleased. Seeing that her hair was very plain, he threw her another bag of silver:
"Go buy some jewelry to wear, or it will look like we're mistreating you."
Xu Zhiyi picked up a heavy bag of silver, his eyes smiling into crescents, and asked happily:
"Then can I go out and buy it this afternoon?"
"Okay, take a maid with you when you go out."
Xu Zhiyi said hesitantly:
"I don't have any maids with me."
Lu Yanli then realized that although she was a concubine, he did not marry her and did not assign her a maid.
Defu immediately interjected:
"My Lord, leave it to me, don't worry."
Lu Yanli emphasized again:
"Just let the maid go with her."
Defu meant to arrange a maid for her...
Lu Yanli looked at Xu Zhiyi's face, which was a disaster for the country and the people, and added:
"You can go out, but wear a veil."
I'm really worried about her face and going out to show off.
If she doesn't show her face, her figure won't be good enough, so De Fu sends a warrior to hide in the dark to protect her.
This is the first time Xu Zhiyi comes out to play in this world.
In the afternoon, I went out with the newly gifted little peach blossom. Out of curiosity, I walked around for a while longer, and finally arrived at Linglongtang, the largest jewelry store in Kyoto.
As soon as Xu Zhiyi entered the door, she fell in love with a set of gold filigree headpiece with kingfisher feathers and jewels on it. It looked very luxurious. It was not a style she would wear everyday, but she just liked it.
As I was examining it carefully, I heard a charming voice behind me say to the waiter next to me:
"I want this, wrap it up for me."
Xu Zhiyi looked back and felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.
"Oh, who did I think it was? Isn't this our leader Xu Zhiyi? Why are you still wearing the clothes from Zui Xiang Lou? Could it be that the Duke of Xian's Mansion didn't buy you any clothes?"
Xu Zhiyi frowned. How could she be recognized even though she was wearing a veil?
Today she wore a lotus pink cross-collared skirt and a plain hairpin on her head. She was already brightly colored, and she didn't want to show off when she went out and cause trouble, so she dressed like this. However, she ended up being humiliated.
Xu Zhiyi quickly searched for information about this woman in his mind.
Before she could remember, the woman said:
"It's funny to say that. I heard that even the prince of Xianguo didn't touch you. No wonder you're in such a miserable state now. Can you afford this headgear?"
The guy was about to come out to smooth things over,
Then I heard Xu Zhiyi say:
"Wrap this up for me. I'll read it first."
The waiter was in a dilemma. Miss Mei'er next to him was a frequent visitor to their house. He just stood there and rubbed his hands.
Mei Er grabbed it directly, and the guy looked so distressed that he couldn't help but shout out:
"Girls, please don't grab it. This headdress is worth a lot of silver. Don't damage it."
Mei Er didn't listen and continued to grab it.
When they were in Yangzhou, Xu Zhiyi had always stepped on her. Now, she was finally more favored and richer than her.
