As a servant of the East Palace, Chen Gui knew that His Highness the Crown Prince had a generous temperament, but he was not a Bodhisattva in the temple and had no anger at all.

The body that was kneeling on the ground trembled, and he quickly held his breath and kowtowed to apologize.

"Okay, I know your concerns, but in my position I have to do my own thing.

The saint has entrusted the government and state affairs to me, how dare he slack off even a little bit?"

Bai Hanzhang rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously to circulate Qi and blood and relieve the tired feeling that filled his body and mind.

"Bring me a piece of dragon whale incense. You will have dinner in the Nuan Pavilion today and will not go back to the palace."

Chen Gui bent down very low and nodded in agreement.

Carefully exit the heating pavilion and head to the warehouse.

The room returned to silence. Bai Hanzhang leaned into his seat, lowered his head and sighed softly:

"This has really become a medicine jar."

His Royal Highness, there seems to be a look of helplessness on his eyebrows.

He took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve robe, poured a dark-colored pill the size of a longan, opened his mouth and swallowed it.

After a while, wisps of white air came out from between the mouth and nose, like a snake stretching and contracting.

The gentle face trembled twice and gradually turned rosy, with traces of blood appearing.

After closing his eyes for half a quarter of an hour, Chen Gui returned to the house holding the brocade box in both hands.

The shoulders were covered with snow foam, turning into streaks of water.

He glanced up and saw Bai Hanzhang seemed to be taking a nap.

Quickly and gently, he skillfully uncovered the gilt copper furnace.

He also used scissors to cut two pieces of dragon whale incense, put them on a tray and roasted them over a slow fire to release the strong smell.

After doing this, Chen Gui waited quietly aside and did not wake up the overworked Crown Prince.

After about two moments, Bai Hanzhang couldn't bear the sleepiness and took a nap, and slowly opened his eyelids.

Dragon Whale Incense is far more powerful than centuries-old soothing incense and red musk.

It is not a calming exercise, but an external tool for practicing Qigong that promotes the flow of qi and blood and strengthens the muscles and bones.

Just a piece as big as a fingernail can allow a warrior from the third level of blood exchange to complete the level of health care.

"Chen Gui, please bring the files of the garrison and generals in charge of Lingnan Mansion to me.

Once the severe winter is over, spring hunting begins, so we must pay close attention to the movements of the various ethnic groups in the mountains and do not neglect them.”

Bai Hanzhang took two puffs of the scent of Dragon Whale, felt energetic, and opened his mouth to give instructions.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess just came over to ask if you would like..."

Chen Gui hesitated for a moment, then bowed and asked.

"Not going."

Bai Hanzhang waved his hands.

"Since you live in the East Palace, you should speak less for your mother's family.

My mother often said that it is a great blessing for husband and wife to respect each other as guests and grow old together. We should cherish it more.

It's a pity that she didn't listen to a word.

They don’t even have their own opinions..."

This time, Chen Chu chose to look at his eyes, his nose, his mouth and his heart.

After all, it is His Royal Highness’s family matter, and no servant has the right to interfere.

In his opinion, the inner court, which is divided into the East Palace and the West Palace, is no different from the court outside.

If you want to go further, you must take every step step by step, walking on thin ice, and don’t take even one step beyond the thunder.

If you are a little careless and cannot lift yourself, you may be beaten to death with a stick.

The ancestor with white hair and white eyebrows who served the saint was not as easy to talk to as the prince.

In the past ten years, those servants and female officials who have been favored for a while.

Because of excessive arrogance and domineering, many people ended up miserable.

"Do more, talk less."

Nuan Ge, who once again withdrew from the discussion, walked through the wind and rain corridor.

The goose-feather-like heavy snow covered the entire imperial city, and as far as the eye could see, it was so white and so clean.

"Eunuch Chen, what did His Highness say?"

The plain-looking female officer in plain clothes was standing guard at the corner. When she saw Chen Gui's robe appearing, she quickly stopped and asked.

"The six ministries are busy with affairs, and there are piles of memorials submitted by the cabinet. How can the prince find time?"

Chen Gui smiled like Maitreya Buddha, with a gentle expression on his face:

"When the new year is over, Your Highness can take a break and go to the Crown Princess's place again."

The female official in plain clothes narrowed her eyes and frowned slightly:

"But the Crown Princess has prepared hot dishes and is waiting for Your Highness.

No matter how busy you are with government affairs, you still need to eat and sleep."

Chen Gui shook his head and said:

"The situation at the Liaodong border is tense, and Shuofeng Pass is not calm either.

As well as Lingnan, Northwest... His Highness is really busy with everything, mentally and physically exhausted!

You just ordered me to get dragon whale incense..."

The female official in plain clothes looked unhappy when she heard this.

He raised his chin and hummed softly, then turned around and left without looking back.

Chen Gui didn't care much about this and still said respectfully:

"It's easy to leave, but I won't send you off."

It is not a new thing for the Crown Princess to have soft ears and rely too much on the female officials of the inner court.

They, the servants of the East Palace, always hid and smiled when they saw them.

Otherwise, it will be a mouthful.

If it reaches the ears of the Crown Princess again, she will not be able to eat it and carry it around.

The wind and snow were urgent, and the female official in plain clothes put her hands on her lower abdomen and walked back to Jiaotai Palace.

This dormitory has been expanded many times, and the interior is truly unique.

The front and rear are divided into several small rooms through screens, revolving doors and other designs.

When you first come here, it’s common to get lost and not be able to find your way.

The female official in plain clothes was quite familiar with it. She passed through the hall from the front eaves to the back hall where the red plaque was hung.

Along the way, all kinds of maids bowed down and saluted her when they saw her, which shows that her status is not low.

The hall is paved with floor coverings, which is warm and very comfortable.

Coupled with those exquisite and gorgeous copper crane incense burners, they spit out a delicate fragrance.

It looks like a fairyland, with a hazy beauty.

The princess was leaning on the beauty's couch, dressed very solemnly.

She wears a emerald crown of dragons, phoenixes and pearls on her head, and her forehead is dotted with gold and diamond flowers.

Wearing a true red coat with large sleeves woven with gold embroidery and a shoulder strap, she looks graceful and noble.

"Reporting to the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness is reviewing memorials in the Nuang Pavilion today and dining overnight."

The female official in plain clothes came closer and whispered softly.

"It's like this every day. I'm used to it. Please take away the food and wine."

The princess looks like a girl from a small family, and her voice is soft and weak. She doesn't look like she comes from a wealthy family.

"The prince is diligent and everyone in the court knows it. The princess need not be discouraged."

The female officer in plain clothes bowed and said.

"At the end of the year, when the family is reunited, we will definitely find opportunities..."

The Crown Princess pursed her red lips lightly and said hesitantly:

"But... the incense and the prescription you offered are really useful?"
