Xiao Chenyan came over at some point.
He stood in the corridor, his brows were cold and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Apparently, he had heard the words "Awu, you dead ghost" that Yeyou blurted out just now.
Awu...
Which Awu?
Qing Wu glared at Ye You coldly and sent a voice message to him: "My name is Ying Rushi now."
Ye You was choked so much that his cheeks were bulging. When facing Xiao Chenyan, he was quite nice and said with a bow, "My cousin's husband is here."
Xiao Chenyan came in, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Cousin-in-law?"
Ye You swallowed the cake and lifted his cheek, "I am the princess's distant cousin. You can just call me Ye Lang."
"I didn't know the princess had the nickname 'Awu'." Xiao Chenyan stared at Qingwu solemnly: "Which 'Awu'?"
Yeyou pretended to be confused: "What is Awu? Ah...was it the Awu I just called out? My cousin's husband must have heard it wrong. My cousin's maiden name is 'Ying Rushi'. Dead ghost and so on are just for fun."
There was silence in the hall for a long time.
After a while, the man finally said "Oh".
The topic was brought to an end, and Xiao Chenyan marked out a yard for Ye You, as a promise to let the old ghost stay.
Before leaving, he glanced at Qing Wu, who glared at Ye You warningly, and then followed Xiao Chenyan.
The direction they were heading was Xiao Chenyan's study. The two of them walked one after the other, and Xiao Chenyan suddenly called out, "It should be like this."
Qing Wu didn't answer.
When he stopped, she asked, "What do you want me to do?"
He looked up at her: "You can't even remember your own name?"
Qing Wu gritted her teeth and smiled: "It's been a long time since anyone called me by my real name. People usually call me Queen!"
Xiao Chenyan looked at her meaningfully.
"Come on, my lady ghost."
"Xiao Chenyan!" Qing Wu raised her hand, as if to hit him.
The man walked calmly, and his steps were obviously much bigger. Qing Wu was tripped by her skirt and could only lift her skirt and chase after him.
The black-armored guards on duty couldn't help but smile secretly when they saw this scene.
Ever since the princess entered the palace, there has been fun to watch every day. The prince seems to have changed as well and has started to play tricks on people.
After entering the study, Xiao Chenyan stretched out his hand and let Qing Wu take a bite, and then the matter was settled.
Looking at the teeth marks on his index finger, he shook his head.
He flicked Qing Wu's forehead again, and before she could get angry, he said, "Grind the ink."
"You still order me around?"
Xiao Chenyan had already arrived at the desk and spread out the rice paper. Qing Wu glanced at the side and saw a stack of Heart Sutras had been copied there.
She placed her hand on the copied Heart Sutra and felt a blessing force, which surprised her a little.
The Heart Sutra that Xiao Chenyan copied for those children was more "powerful" than she had imagined.
The judge's pen was amazed and said, "After burning these Heart Sutras for those children, I think their souls and bodies will be restored to their original state. However, the luck of your inkstone is too strong."
"Even if he has the fate of an emperor, forcing him to do this is a bit outrageous."
Qing Wu discovered this when she was at Izumo Temple.
This man has been tortured by the fatal evil spirit for so many years, and there is still someone who is "stealing" his fate. Ten years have passed, but his luck is still so strong.
If there hadn't been a fatal evil spirit and his fate hadn't been stolen, his luck would have been even more terrifying.
Qing Wu thought about it and helped him grind the ink. She asked casually, "Did you leave the house early?"
Xiao Chenyan hummed, "I went to see the excitement."
He casually handed her a piece of paper. Qing Wu took it and saw that it was a copy of Yun Houxing's confession.
She tilted her head and knew what was happening outside. She gave him a cold look and said, "Why didn't you invite me to this lively event?"
"Can you get up?"
"That's true." Qing Wu shrugged. "When will Yun Houxing and Wang Sheng be beheaded?"
"The verdict hasn't come out yet, but I guess he's going to die soon, even without waiting for it."
"Donggong can't sit still anymore?" Qing Wu rolled her eyes and asked, "Come to think of it, what other troubles have you caused for that idiot Donggong?"
"The Ministry of Revenue is under his command. Yun Houxing embezzled so much stolen money. He has to find someone to make up for the part that cannot be found."
Qing Wu was amused. "He is willing to spit out the money he has already taken? After all, he is still the Eastern Palace. Even though he is a fool, he is too easy to control, isn't he?"
"If he doesn't spit it out, he will lose more than just the Ministry of Revenue."
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Among the officials listed in the account book of Queen Yun, 50% are members of the Crown Prince's party. Apart from those who were appointed through imperial favor, most of the officials were bought."
"Selling official positions and titles?" Qing Wu smiled: "Is the East Palace crazy because of poverty?"
Xiao Chenyan couldn't help but laugh, his eyes were filled with murderous intent and disgust: "He is not that poor, but he has too many 'virtuous concubines' in the backyard."
Qing Wu sneered: "So the East Palace has to admit the loss this time. If he doesn't make up for the loss, he will lose another Ministry of Personnel next."
The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment and promotion of officials.
If the Ministry of Revenue, which is in charge of money, is gone, and the Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of power, is also gone, then the prince will be completely useless.
Qing Wu had no interest in court affairs.
But as his mind was in turmoil, he couldn't help but think of the real reason why Xiao Chenyan attacked Yun Houxing.
In order to clear the bad reputation of the Marquis Zhenguo Mansion.
"Although the confession letter incident has caused a big stir, it is still not enough to make the court cautious."
Qing Wu smiled faintly: "After all, admitting the innocence of the Zhenguo Marquisate is equivalent to asking the person sitting on the dragon throne to slap himself in the face."
"It's okay." Xiao Chenyan said calmly, "It's just the beginning."
Qing Wu nodded.
Perhaps the murderous intent was aroused, and the Heart Sutra that Xiao Chenyan had just written was also tainted with murderous intent.
He threw the ruined paper aside, concentrated for a while, and then started writing again.
Qing Wu no longer disturbed him and helped him grind the ink. The atmosphere in the study was harmonious.
The agarwood floats and time passes.
Copying the Heart Sutra requires concentration. Xiao Chenyan wrote for a long time without realizing it. He stopped only when his wrist felt sore and the ink in the inkstone dried up.
When he looked up, he saw the woman lying on the side, fast asleep. Her long, curled eyelashes cast a shadow on her face. Her red lips were lightly pursed, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked a bit coquettish.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes moved slightly. After staring for a long time, he leaned over and picked up the pen to carefully outline her eyebrows and eyes.
While sleeping, Qing Wu felt itchy on her face.
He stretched out his hand to scratch it, but someone grabbed it. Then his body felt lighter and he was picked up.
She squinted her eyes in a daze and saw the man's collar. Her breath was filled with the scent of ink. She relaxed, snuggled into his arms, and continued to fall asleep.
Xiao Chenyan held her in his arms and walked to the Moshiyuan.
When Xiao Chenyan saw the post in his hand, he stopped.
He presented the invitation: "Your Highness, this is an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is the birthday of Prime Minister Gu's old lady, and you and your wife are invited to the banquet."
"No." Xiao Chenyan refused.
He obeyed the order, stole a glance at Qingwu's "painted face", and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Anything else?"
"It was Ding Guo who passed on the news." The man's expression was a little strange: "Young Master Xie Ling has been clamoring to see the princess."
Xiao Chenyan didn't ask Xie Ling why he wanted to see Qing Wu, because that boy's intelligence was just like that of a child.
"It will depend on her wishes when she wakes up."
Xiao Chenyan did not make a decision for Qing Wu.
After sending the person to Moshiyuan, he returned to his study to continue copying scriptures.
Luqiao and Hongrui came into the room and tucked the corners of Qingwu's quilt. After seeing the "painting" on her face, the two girls were surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing.
Lu Qiao whispered, "I think the prince has really changed. He always likes to tease the princess now."
"Good thing." Hong Rui made a gesture to keep quiet.
The two women left quietly.
Qing Wu slept until midnight. When she opened her eyes, she found that there was no one around her. She asked and found out that Xiao Chenyan was still in the study.
She yawned, fell down and continued to sleep. This time she did not sleep until noon, but woke up at dawn.
Her stomach was growling and she was so hungry that she kept begging for food.
Luqiao helped her wash and dress, and Hongrui quickly set the table.
The next moment.
"What happened to my face?!" Qing Wu looked at herself in the mirror with her face covered in ink, her beautiful eyes spitting fire.
Luqiao was shocked. What happened to the black-eyed chicken?
When the prince brought the princess here yesterday, the flower painted at the corner of her eye was very beautiful.
As a result, after a night, it was estimated that Qing Wu was confused in her dream and rubbed the ink so much that it became completely black-eyed.
Qing Wu knew who was the culprit, "I came here yesterday with this look on my face?"
Lu Qiao wanted to explain for her prince: "Yes... No... When the prince brought you here yesterday, there was clearly a flower painted on your face."
Damn the flower, Qing Wu only knew that she was now a black-eyed chicken.
"Wash your face and have dinner. I'll go settle the score with him after I'm full." Qing Wu gritted her teeth: "No wonder he didn't dare to come last night."
In the study, Xiao Chenyan had been copying the Heart Sutra all night. Xiao Sui came in quickly, helped him wash up, and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
"Is she awake?"
"Well, the princess is having dinner, and Sister Hong asked the prince if you want to go over."
Xiao Chenyan nodded, thinking that her son had gotten up early. She was about to go over to eat, but when she saw the boy trying to hold back his laughter, she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
The old man coughed and whispered, "I heard that the princess woke up early in the morning and found that she had a black-eyed chicken, and she is in a bad mood."
Black-eyed chicken?
Xiao Chenyan paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He asked her why she had been so quiet since he sent her there yesterday. It turned out that she had been sleeping all the time. No wonder she got up so early in the morning.
"Forget it." Xiao Chenyan changed direction.
The old man was surprised: "The prince is not going to have dinner with the princess?"
"It's a nice day, perfect for watching the fun." The man said in a normal voice, "Let's go to court."
She was stunned, and couldn't tell for a moment whether her own prince was really going to the court to watch the excitement in the East Palace, or was hiding away to avoid the "excitement" herself...
