"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" Qin Rushuang whispered twice in Xie Xun's ear. It was time for him to go to the military camp.
If it were normal, Xie Xun would have almost gone out by now.
Xie Xun didn't sleep soundly after waking up just now. He just closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he heard Qin Rushuang calling him from the side, he closed his eyes and said: "The deputy general is practicing today, I will go later."
"Oh." Qin Rushuang touched her nose and suddenly thought of something.
"Qingzhi, remember to shave the prince's beard later, it's grown."
Daqi men did not have the habit of growing beards when they were young. Those who like to grow beards are mostly literati in their forties.
The same goes for Xie Xun. Every time Qin Rushuang sees him, her chin is always clean.
Qingzhi originally heard the commotion and was already preparing things for Qin Rushuang to use when she got up early to wash up. When she heard this, she didn't react.
"But...but I have been serving the princess since I was a child, so I don't know how to do this..."
She doesn't know how to shave! She has been serving women since she was a child!
"Then..." Qin Rushuang turned her head and said, "Which servant is usually in charge of you? I'll have someone deliver the message for the prince."
"I will do it myself." Xie Xun opened his eyes and sat up: "Don't worry about others."
Qin Rushuang was stunned.
Yes, no martial arts practitioner would let anyone else do this action of holding the knife to the top of his neck.
I always feel wary of others, so I might as well do it myself.
"Then I'll order someone to get the knife."
"Yeah." Xie Xun nodded.
After a while, the servant brought a sharp knife.
After Qin Rushuang took it, she handed the knife to Xie Xun and motioned for him to do it himself.
Xie Xun sat beside the bed with his big horse and golden sword: "Excuse me."
Is this asking her to help him?
There were servants in the house, and Qin Rushuang did not refuse. Although she had never done this kind of thing for a man, she was more reliable than Qingzhi in wielding swords and guns.
At least her hands won't shake.
Qin Rushuang raised the knife and made gestures on Xie Xun's face, trying to find a suitable place to strike. Several times, she got closer to Xie Xun's face.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but she frightened the servants next to her.
If it were in the past, Qingzhi had no doubt that her princess could kill the prince with a single blow, so she could only secretly pray that the princess should hold back, because this is the biological father of the little emperor's grandson!
Ying Yi and Ying Er, who were hiding in the dark, were also sweating. With them here, how could anyone hold a murder weapon and gesture in front of the prince!
Xie Xun, on the other hand, had a calm face and did not change his expression when the knife was in front of his eyes. It seemed that he would not dodge no matter what Qin Rushuang did.
Qin Rushuang finally found a suitable place to perform the operation and shaved Xie Xun's beard carefully.
He would never miss, but he got too close a few times. Xie Xun's breath was a little unstable, so he stepped aside, and a dark red flashed across his face.
Xie Xun didn't care at all. He touched his clean chin and said to Qin Rushuang, "Thank you very much."
The servant on the side: It was a little fun between the couple, but they interrupted it!
Qin Rushuang also breathed a sigh of relief.
This was her first time doing something like this, so she would be lying if she said she wasn't nervous.
After feeling relieved and handing the knife to the servant, Qin Rushuang suddenly realized something.
Xie Xun was worried about someone using a knife on his neck, but he was worried about letting her do it?
Thinking back to Xie Xun's undefended look just now, Qin Rushuang felt a little hot in her ears.
After washing properly, the two of them went to have dinner together. Today, Qin Fanghao excused himself as usual, saying that he was not feeling well, and asked Linglong to come and apologize, saying that he would not come.
Qin Rushuang didn't say much, she just told her servants to put away the bowls and chopsticks.
When Linglong turned around, Qin Rushuang glanced at her inadvertently. She didn't know what had happened to the little maid these days. She looked worried and had heavy dark circles under her eyes. It seemed like she hadn't had a good rest.
Qin Rushuang took this matter to heart. After Xie Xun went to the military camp in the afternoon, he called Qingzhi.
"Is there anything unusual in Qin Fanghao's yard recently?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"It's nothing unusual. It's just that the second lady seems to be feeling unwell recently. I heard from the people in the kitchen that she has no appetite these days." Qingzhi replied.
"Where's Linglong?" Qin Rushuang asked again.
If she read it correctly this morning, Linglong must have had something on her mind recently.
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."
Qingzhi touched her head. She had been a little busy recently with the birthday party, and her attention to the side hospital had been distracted.
"How about I send someone to keep a closer eye on you? I'm really a little loose with the side courtyard these days."
Qin Rushuang waved her hand: "No, you can find the money for me."
After the Liu family and his son were dealt with before, Qian Ertong was arranged by Qin Rushuang to go to Du's Bank to learn from the shopkeeper. Although he still lived in the servant's room of the palace, he left early and came back late. Qin Rushuang hadn't seen him for a long time.
Qian Ertong came back happily in the afternoon. As soon as they met, he immediately knelt down and saluted Qin Rushuang: "Princess!"
"Get up!"
Qin Rushuang saw that he was in high spirits, so he must have learned a lot of skills recently.
"How have you been studying at the bank recently?" Qin Rushuang asked.
"Back to the princess, thanks to the princess for giving me a chance, the shopkeeper taught me very carefully!"
After he finished speaking, he smiled and held hands with Qingzhi: "I also want to thank Sister Qingzhi for leaving dinner for me every day!"
Qianzhuang didn't care about food. It was already dark when he came back from Qianzhuang. The palace cooks had already taken a break, but Qingzhi would leave a portion for him every day and put it in the pot to heat.
The servants all knew that they were working for the princess, and they did not dare to touch the share left by Qingzhi.
Although Qian Ertong came back late every day, he could still have hot meals.
Qingzhi rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Don't scream! You are older than me!"
"Then... thank you, Miss Qingzhi?" Qian Ertong asked tentatively.
"Hey! Who are you taking advantage of? Who is your sister!" Qingzhi immediately quit.
Qin Rushuang watched with great interest. The two of them would start fighting each other every time they met. It was very interesting.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Qin Rushuang was thinking about something serious, so she stopped the two from continuing to argue: "Okay, I have something serious to ask you."
With a look from Qin Rushuang, Qingzhi understood what she meant and sent out several maids who had just been promoted, including Cuibi.
"I know that you know a lot of people from all walks of life outside. Please go find out something for me."
Qian Ertong also put away his previous smiling expression and said seriously: "Princess, please speak."
Qin Rushuang picked up a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Qian Ertong, "Qin Fanghao has a maid named Linglong next to her. This information is about her and her family in my impression. Go and find out what her family is like now for me.
What is the situation?"
Qian Ertong was a good man, and he understood as soon as he heard this: "Does the princess want to conquer this little maid?"
"It's best if it can be used. Even if it can't be used...you still have to pry something out of her mouth."
"yes."
Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes. Even though she had not noticed anything unusual before, she had realized it in the past few days. It was probably not a good thing for Qin Fanghao to be so low-key since the spring hunting.
At first she thought it was Xie Xun who had imposed the ban, but later she found out that Xie Xun did not impose any restrictions on Qin Fanghao.
According to Qin Fang's good temperament, lying dormant for such a long time is... holding back the evil.
