Views: NaN

It was still very cold in February, and all kinds of flowers and trees began to sprout. "February spring breeze is like scissors", it really reflects the climatic characteristics of the capital. In the back garden of the Royal Palace, there are only a few branches of winter plums and roses glowing green, and the large tracts of green gray and the misty sky make people feel depressed. Only this morning air can make people feel refreshed.

In this cold morning, a man was wielding a scimitar as if trying to break the sky. This person is Zhu Youjian. Although he drank a few more glasses yesterday and first imprisoned the princess Zhou Yufeng, his physique was different from ordinary people, and he had already imprisoned Wan'er countless times. This bridal chamber flower candle could not stop him from the Xuji magical power. Demand.

Zhou Yufeng wears a verdant jacket and a blue-purple dress underneath. The little woman looks at Zhu Youzhen from a distance. She slept late last night and had to wait on Zhu Youjian again. There were faint dark circles around her eyes and face. Although she applied makeup three times and observed carefully, there were still signs to be found.

"Feng'er, why don't you stay in the house on such a cold day?" Zhu Youjian had finished practicing the magical technique of imaginary extreme, and gently came to Zhou Yufeng, and stroked Zhou Yufeng's cheek lovingly with his big hand, "Look at you, little His face was flushed with cold. If you don't cherish yourself, women tend to get old."

"His Royal Highness." Zhou Yufeng did not evade. In this back garden, no one would come at this time. Like their new house, this place belongs to their two-person world. She angrily rubbed her reddish little hands, and gently pressed them on Zhu Youjian's big hands, "It's cold outside, Your Royal Highness, go back too!"

The two embraced and returned to their new house. The new house was as magnificent as last night, but their moods exceeded their initial expectations. "Feng'er, let's go to the dining hall to eat early, and we will feel warmer."

"En." Zhou Yufeng agreed in a soft voice. The first one clicked twice before she knew it, but she was shy and refused to let Zhu Youjian hold her arms. After Zhu Youjian repeatedly protested, she forced Zhu Youjian to hold her little hand. .

The dining hall has already set up tables and stools, as if waiting for the new couple. "Wan'er, go early. I want a bowl of porridge, Feng'er, what do you want?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Yufeng's delicate face, as if that was his best breakfast.

"I will follow your concubine!" Zhou Yufeng bowed her eyebrows, and she couldn't let go in front of the servants of the palace. Fortunately, with Zhu Youjian by her side, her mood was a little calmer.

Wan'er directed the maids to offer five or six breakfasts, a few side dishes, and finally two bowls of porridge. "His Royal Highness, Princess, take it easy. Wan'er is waiting here."

Zhou Yufeng blushed again for no reason. Her initial experience made her extremely sensitive, as if everyone was laughing at her indulgence last night, especially Wan'er. When I first met Zhu Youjian in Kunning Palace, Wan'er was by Zhu Youjian's side. She also knew about the relationship between Wan'er and Zhu Youjian. Although Wan'er respected her, she was still not used to it. It seems that Wan'er's big eyes can see through her thoughts last night.

"His Royal Highness, where will you recognize the Lord in a while?" Seeing that Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yufeng had almost eaten, Wan'er kindly reminded him that he didn't know where Zhu Youjian went crazy again in a while.

"What do you recognize?" Zhu Youjian ate the last piece of cake and asked Wan'er with his eyes slanted.

"His Royal Highness, the princess was in the palace at the beginning. Most of the servants and maids in the palace do not know each other, so let them see one by one, so that they can arrange errands for them in the future." Wan'er was also anxious. This is her formal meeting with the princess. , I don’t know if the princess accepts her. She has a special relationship with Zhu Youjian, which is different from other servants and maids.

"Oh." Zhu Youjian understood, "Then it's in the lobby. There are so many people in the Xingqin Palace, you can't put it down in other places."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The slave and maid will make arrangements." Wan'er agreed, and stepped back, while arranging for Xiao Ning to clean up the bowl of chopsticks.

"His Majesty, how do you do this?" Zhou Yufeng waited for Wan'er to leave before asking about Zhu Youjian. When she first arrived in a strange environment, she was still a little uncomfortable, especially the change of status, which turned out to be the status of Kunning Palace. The low-lying court lady became the mistress of the Xuanqin Palace in a blink of an eye, and she had not yet completed the change in her mind.

"Nothing, you are now the housekeeper of the Xuanqin Palace. The servants and maids will come to know you, and you must know them. It's that simple." Zhu Youjian thought, this is a meeting from the lower level to the higher level, as long as you prepare the red envelope, It is not difficult to win the recognition of subordinates.

"His Royal Highness, what is the concubine going to do? The empress did not tell the concubine when she came." Zhou Yufeng suddenly faced a large group of servants, and felt a little nervous, even though they were just servants.

"Don't be nervous, there is me! I will be by your side." Zhu Youzhen gently squeezed Zhou Yufeng's small hand, which was as tender as boneless, smooth and smooth. She is just an ordinary maid in Kunning Palace. I don’t know how this hand is maintained. Does Kunning Palace have special maintenance methods

Zhu Youzhen is her heaven. With Zhu Youzhen's encouragement, Zhou Yufeng relaxed, and the two came to the hall holding hands.

Wan'er had already arranged it. In front of the main entrance of the hall, there was a mahogany chair with a thick silk quilt. She was probably worried about the cold weather and the cold on the mahogany. On the periphery of the chair, the servants had long been huddled together, waiting to see the new master. Wan'er quietly came to Zhu Youjian's side and whispered, Zhu Youjian smiled and came to Zhou Yufeng's side, bit her ear and talked, Zhou Yufeng couldn't help nodding.

Zhou Yufeng sat on the chair and waited for the servants to come to see him.

The order of this visit also reflects his status in the palace. The first person to meet Zhou Yufeng was supposed to be the commander of special forces Wang Mujiu, but he was so happy last night, he didn't know how to drink, and he was still talking to Zhou Gong in bed. Therefore, the first person to meet was replaced by Xu Yingyuan.

Xu Yingyuan is over forty years old, wearing a blue-gray cloth robe. He tidied his robe and bowed his head to Zhou Yufeng respectfully: "The slave has seen the princess."

"Get up!" Zhou Yufeng seemed to stand up, but Zhu Youzhen and Wan'er both gestured with their eyes, and she didn't stand up, "The housekeeper has always worked hard." Smoothly took out a small red envelope from the back of the chair and handed it to Xu Yingyuan. .

"The slave thanked the princess." Xu Yingyuan stepped back, and then it was Wan'er who saw him.

"The slave and maid had seen the princess." Wan'er knelt down, bent to the bottom, knocked on the ground, her forehead was covered with dust.

"Wan'er get up quickly." This time Zhou Yufeng ignored Zhu Youjian's gaze. She got up from the chair mountain and helped Wan'er up: "You and I are good sisters, I'm not happy." Zhou Yufeng took out the red envelope from behind the chair , While wiping the dust from her forehead with a handkerchief: "His Royal Highness has always been taking care of the diet and daily life of my younger sister. It’s hard work for my younger sister."

Wan'er was already in tears, her small mouth that was clever as a spring, but she couldn't speak at this time, she just nodded desperately.

There were too many servants in the Xuanqin Palace, and they visited one by one, not knowing that they would worship until the year of the monkey. Later, according to their identities, they paid five or even ten. Zhou Yufengguang was busy giving out red envelopes, not even a servant remembered it.

With so many servants, it is not realistic to expect her to remember them at once. It would be nice to have a hot face. In fact, the "recognition of the master" in Xunqin Palace did not want Zhou Yufeng to remember these servants, but to recognize the mistress. As a servant, if you don't even know your mistress, this servant is obviously unqualified. In addition, when there was a happy event in the Xuanqin Palace, a large number of red envelopes were given out, so that these servants would also be touched and improve their sense of identity with the palace.

After working for half an hour, the "recognition of the Lord" finally ended. Zhou Yufeng was relieved, but Zhu Youzhen was busy again: "Ying Yuan, is the carriage ready?" Today is the day when Zhou Yufeng officially becomes the princess, and Zhu Youzhen wants to take her to see her elders. His parents have passed away, that is, to visit the four uncles and elder brothers and sisters.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The carriage is already ready." Xu Yingyuan promised. Originally Wang Mujiu was Zhu Youjian's guard, but Wang Mujiu was still asleep, so he had to take a few special forces soldiers and came to visit Zhu Youjian's guard.

Meeting the elders is a family affair. In the order of elders, Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yufeng met the four uncles first, and then Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Yan. After some tossing down, when they returned to the palace, it was almost noon.

"His Royal Highness, Li Shen sent someone to report, and the glass was made." Wan'er still leaned on the middle door as before, quietly waiting for Zhu Youjian to return to the house. Hearing the sound of the carriage, he immediately greeted him.

Originally, yesterday was Zhu Youjian's day of great rejoicing. The people from the Xuanqin Palace all returned to congratulate him. Kong Zhen, who was in charge of the cement factory, and Qian Hu, who was in charge of the brick kiln factory, were all back. However, Li Shen was entering a very critical moment because of the glass experiment, and he had to sit down in person, so he did not attend Zhu Youjian's wedding.

"Glass?" Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, as if seeing white silver billowing toward the palace, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Haha, I'll take a look in the afternoon."

"His Royal Highness, what is glass? What's the use?" Zhou Yufeng only heard that Zhu Youjian had opened a cement factory and a brick kiln factory, but he didn't know when he would fiddle with glass again.

"Glass, good thing. Feng'er, let's go in for dinner and talk while eating." Zhu Youjian took Zhou Yufeng's hand and stepped into the Xingqin Palace together. Originally Zhou Yufeng was shy and prevented Zhu Youzhen from holding her hand in public, but as long as Zhu Youzhen took advantage of her unpreparedness, she would hold her hand intentionally or unintentionally, which made her uneasy. Forget it, it's already his person anyway, if he wants to hold hands, it's up to him! Zhou Yufeng gradually convinced herself.

Wan'er called warm water early to let Zhu Youjian and Zhou Yufeng wash their faces.

"Wan'er, prepare the meal. I'm going to the glass factory in the afternoon." Zhu Youjian couldn't wait to leave immediately to see Daming's first piece of glass.

"Yes, Your Majesty... Why are you still going out in the afternoon?" Wan'er was upset for Zhou Yufeng. His Royal Highness was overjoyed. Didn't you give yourself a vacation? The princess has just passed the door, why is she hanging in the house? But she still went to prepare lunch, no matter whether Zhu Youzhen went out in the afternoon or not, the meal was still to be eaten.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhu Youjian called Xu Yingyuan: "Ying Yuan, I am an adult and can no longer live in the inner palace. The emperor gave me a letter to the palace in the east of the city. This move is left to you."
