The prince raised his eyes and looked at the big clock in the corner. The hour hand had already pointed to two quarters of the unitary hour, which was five o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone in the palace loves this Western gadget, especially the big clock, but the crown prince thinks it is noisy, it ticks and ticks when it walks, and it chimes on the hour. Later, a master in the building office pondered for more than half a year, and finally gave up all the sounds, and the big clock can still run as usual, so this thing was placed in Yuqing Palace.
The prince didn't speak, and turned his attention to the desk.
Didn't you hear it
Fu Lu was silent, and said again: "You have been sitting here for a long time, and you have to take care of your body. It's time for dinner in each courtyard, or the servant ordered someone to put the dinner at Su Fengyi's place, Are you going to see Su Fengyi?"
This time the prince raised his head again, but his eyes fell on Fu Lu.
Fu Lu wanted to look as if nothing had happened, but the prince's gaze was too intense. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, dripping down his nose, and finally he couldn't help but knelt down.
"Get the punishment yourself." Fu Lu responded in a low voice, and hurried out.
After he went out, he called someone, but he didn't let the eunuch who was executing the sentence slap him lightly, so he was beaten ten boards.
Zhang Laishun panicked, wanted to speak but dared not speak, so he could only watch from the side. After the beating was over, he hurried over to help Fu Lu up, and wanted to ask what was wrong with him, why he was punished without any movement, and wanted to help him go to the duty room to apply medicine, but Fu Lu pushed him away open.
"Shut your mouth tightly, don't say what you shouldn't say." Fu Lu spat and limped into the study again.
Zhang Laishun led a group of eunuchs to agree. The rules of Yuqing Palace, those of them who served the prince could not be more clear, what happened here can't be revealed to the outside world, and they have to cover their mouths tightly when sleeping.
When Fulu entered, the hall was already a little dark, and he was busy asking people to light the lamps. As the candles were lit, the study suddenly lit up.
The prince looked up at him, although he didn't say anything, but Fu Lu was relieved.
He secretly scolded Liu Yuan Wang Ba Duzi for harming others in his heart, and he was glad that the beating was well done, only after the beating showed that he had understood the master's intentions.
The prince suddenly threw away the pen, leaned back, and pinched his brows.
A servant actually tried to guess the mind of the master! Beat him unyielding!
But he couldn't deny that Fu Lu had indeed guessed the point, and he was indeed annoyed by what happened last night. He was upset not only because he made too many exceptions last night, but also because he suddenly realized today that the delicate girl belonged to the princess.
For the princess, the prince has never known how to deal with it. Knowing that she is the first wife and the first wife, he should respect her and show her face. After all, the husband and wife are one, and the East Palace has been troubled in recent years, but later the crown prince found out that because of his connivance, the crown prince became more and more shameless .
There are some things he can't say clearly, because it's not appropriate to make a fuss about it, and it's to give her face, but he can't let her go on like this. So Hu Liangdi was erected, and once the situation of the crown prince's family in the backyard of the East Palace was changed, she seemed to know what was wrong, and gradually restrained herself.
But treating the symptoms can't cure the root cause. The prince turned a blind eye to some of the things the princess did afterwards. He knew that as long as the princess didn't give birth to a son-in-law, the matter would not be over. But now that she is pregnant, it seems that it is still endless. Thinking about what the princess said at noon, the good mood of the prince early in the morning was completely ruined.
Seeing the prince throwing away the pen, Fu Lu hurried up to wash the pen and pick up the table case.
Seeing this old guy's so attentive appearance, the prince glanced at him: "Do you know what's wrong with me?"
Fu Lu smiled flatteringly and felt wronged, and muttered: "I don't think so much, I just think that the master has finally met someone who suits his needs, so I can go twice more if I think it's good, it's nothing."
The prince was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
He stood up and kicked Fu Lu lightly: "Get out!"
"Master doesn't need dinner? This servant is going to pass the meal on." It seems that the prince is not really angry, and the always prudent chief eunuch Fu Lu also imitated the young eunuch's playful smile.
"Didn't you say to put the dinner at Su Fengyi's place, just put it there."
Today, the West Wing is particularly beaming.
Su Fengyi waited on the bed, and the Crown Princess rewarded things again, not to mention being elated.
Cattail went to the dining room to pick up the meal and came back, very happy. Only then did Pan'er realize that the dining room had stuffed two extra dishes of cattails, and there was no need to stuff them for good.
Pan'er's food intake is still not good, but he is no longer picky about food, he can eat both soft and hard, sweet and spicy. But Aunt Qing said that if she wants to maintain her body shape, she still needs to pay attention to her food, so now she mostly eats fruits and vegetables, chicken, duck and fish, and rarely eats staple food and some beef and mutton.
Pork is not eaten, nor is meat oil.
Like today's dinner, in addition to the sticky red dates and millet porridge, there is also a dish of shredded beef, a dish of stir-fried ground three delicacies, a dish of fresh mushrooms and beef sausage, a dish of braised salted duck, and a dish of fungus mixed with sesame oil. Dish, two small dishes of pickled salty and crispy pickles.
There are four kinds of pastries, jujube cake, yam cake with red bean paste, chive flower rolls and longan buns.
There are a few things in it that are not what should be in the plate, but they are brought up. It seems that the dining room is quite winking, the crown prince just rested in the west chamber last night, and today the crown princess has rewarded something again, and their filial piety will come in the evening.
The so-called favored, what is favored, this is favored, from the little things in daily life. Pan'er was not surprised, Cattail Qingdai and the little girls were quite happy, even Bai Shu couldn't help showing a little smile, Pan'er gave her an extra look.
After the meal was set, as soon as Pan'er picked up the chopsticks, he heard movement in the yard outside.
Before she could stand up, the prince came in from the outside.
Seeing the prince, Pan'er was a little dazed for a moment, she didn't expect the prince to come at this time, according to her estimation, even if he thought he served him well, he wouldn't come to the same person two days in a row. It's not about liking it or not, it's just a matter of character.
But she reacted faster than her brain, and hurried forward to salute.
The prince raised his hand and called out.
Pan'er looked at the table just set up, and asked: "Your Highness, did you have dinner? I just sat down here, if it's useless, can I ask them to prepare a few more dishes?"
While talking here, Fu Lu made a gesture over there, and several eunuchs carrying food boxes walked in.
This was naturally Fulu's fawning act. As soon as the prince said something, Fulu ordered someone to arrange it. When the prince came from the front to the backyard, the dining room was ready.
At this time, Cattails and the others would not be able to serve him, but those who could serve the prince were the top servants, and they set the meal quickly and steadily without any movement. When the two of them came to the table, the meal was already set, and Pan Er didn't know whether he should sit or stand to serve the meal, so he could only choose to do it safely.
Seeing that she was still standing, the prince raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Sit down."
Paner sat down.
The prince has a special poison test eunuch, but this time he was not dispatched. His usual meal is specially watched by someone. Naturally, there is no need for someone to test the poison. The meal in the hall is reserved and eats little. I come to my concubine's place to enjoy it. Why do I have a few eunuchs serving meals to stand in the way.
Besides, it is enough to have him, if not, Su Fengyi can still help.
Others don't know about this matter, but Pan'er is very clear about it, knowing that the prince is not a well-behaved person in private. Seeing that there was no one serving the meal, she picked out a few chopsticks and dishes for the prince, all of which the prince liked to eat.
She didn't take it seriously, but Fu Lu next to her was heartbroken, and she couldn't help wondering if she was wrong in doing this. Could it be that Su Fengyi even inquired about the master's taste in private, or maybe the dishes he picked were all the dishes that the master liked to eat
After thinking about it again, how could Su Fengyi have such a great ability, that was revealed by the crown princess, but even the crown princess didn't know what the prince liked to eat or what he didn't like to eat.
But if it is from Mao, then this person must be very lucky.
Pan'er winked, and immediately realized that he had made a mistake again, so he could only smile and said: "I don't know what Your Highness likes to eat, so I picked what I like to eat, Your Highness must not blame you."
This is not a lie, no matter how long two people with opposing appetites stay together for a long time, their tastes will gradually become the same.
For example, in her previous life, although Pan'er ate little and didn't eat many things, she liked to eat everything that Emperor Jianping liked to eat. What she likes to eat, Emperor Jianping will also eat a few bites, and gradually she likes to eat it.
Upon hearing this, Fu Lu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The prince couldn't help but smile a lot at this old guy's play. Looking at her cautious appearance again, she changed her boldness from the previous two times, she couldn't help frowning, and her heart softened.
"No problem."
The meal was eaten in complete silence, but Pan'er served the prince a lot. I'm used to it, and I've already done it. It's a harmless thing, and it doesn't matter what.
In the previous life, whenever Pan'er served meals for Emperor Jianping, he often served her food, but don't worry about it, the present prince is not the future Emperor Jianping. This made Pan'er a little more reconciled. He wanted 'him' to come back, but he knew that there was no rush for this matter.
After eating, the prince didn't intend to leave, so Pan'er could only accompany him.
He went to Pan'er's study room to have a look, and saw few books on the bookshelf, as well as an untouched book case, walked around to the book case, saw a paper weighed down, and picked it up to read. Pan'er looked over, only to find that it was the map of Shuanglu that she had ruined that day.
Probably because she didn't say anything, the cattails and the others didn't dare to throw them around, so they kept them all the time, and Pan'er didn't use the study room much these days, so they forgot about it.
"You know how to play Shuanglu?"
"I will, Your Highness?"
This is not nonsense, the crown prince would naturally know it, but Pan'er saw that the two of them were so bored, so they deliberately found something for each other to do.
Seeing the crown prince nodding, Pan'er pretended to be excited and asked someone to bring her Shuanglu.
The Shuanglu she made is extremely simple, and due to limited materials, she doesn't even have a chess board, but she draws a pattern on paper as a base map. The chess pieces are made of wood, which Xiao Dezi found somewhere. A block, on which Paner wrote words with a brush. Originally, Pan'er wanted to find the manufacturing office to make a beautiful one, but because she didn't want to be eye-catching, she had to leave it like this.
Pan'er asked people to place the map of Shuanglu on the kang table, and she and the prince each occupied one side, with a total of thirty chess pieces, fifteen each for black and white.
There are dice, and there is another plan to calculate the victory or loss, but Shuanglu masters will calculate silently in their hearts, so it doesn't matter if someone is around to calculate the victory or loss.
However, if the masters want to play, they naturally want to have fun, so Fu Lu specially hired someone to do the math. He is not proficient in this, and none of the little eunuchs around him knows how to do it. In the end, Aunt Qing was invited to do the math.
In the previous life, Pan'er played Shuanglu with Emperor Jianping, so he knew that he was a master, so he was very cautious.
But for Shuanglu, in addition to relying on calculations, you have to have a bit of luck. So when we first started playing, Pan'er and the prince each had their own wins and losses, but as we played with Pan'er, we lost more and won less.
It was only later that she discovered that the prince could throw dice.
Even in her previous life, she didn't find out about this, so naturally the dice didn't play tricks, so she still knew about it. The so-called prince knows how to throw dice because he seems to be very proficient, and he can get as many times as he wants. Pan'er observed two games before he found out.
"Don't play anymore, Your Highness is so good at playing tricks, who can win." She threw the dice and said recklessly.
Fu Lu wished to drag her out to play two boards to refresh her mind, and Bai Shu and the others were also very frightened, but the prince liked her appearance very much, and laughed a few times with difficulty concealing his joy.
"How did I cheat?"
"You are so good at playing dice, how can I win this game!" Pan'er looked coquettish, pulled his sleeve and shook it: "In order to show fairness, you have to teach me this unique skill before I can succeed!" , you have taught me, and we will be evenly matched."
The prince has never seen such a reckless concubine who can act like a baby, he is a little embarrassed, but it is very useful. Seeing that she was young, and he was ten years older than her, he also gave in.
"This is not easy to learn, and it was also taught by the eunuchs around me when I was young."
