Sicang tilted his head, his eyes softening into his bones: "I will always protect His Highness."
The two of them walked into the dormitory. The maid had already turned on the lamp in advance, and the palace was filled with light, illuminating the low-key and luxurious furnishings in the palace.
Yun Zishu stood on the threshold and looked around. The layout of the bedroom was very similar to her bedroom in Princess Dayong's Mansion. The shape and placement of the brocade couch, tea table, bronze mirror dressing table, bed, screen, curtain, corner
The vase on the table...
A familiar feeling rushed over her face, and Yun Zishu couldn't help but feel moved, "Sicang."
Sicang squeezed her palm and said, "Just think of this place as the palace of Princess Yong. The maids are still the maids of the past, and the dormitory is the same as before. I will tell them tomorrow, and the meals will be cooked according to Yong's taste."
Yun Zishu wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
She turned to look at Sicang, her brows as gentle as water: "From now on, I will become the sweet flower in the prince's palm?"
Sicang raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Your Highness is a smart and tough delicate flower."
The two walked into the palace, and two young women who looked like female officials came out of the inner hall and saluted Sicang and Yun Zishu: "Your Highness, the bed has been made, the inner hall has been scented with incense, and the water in the bath has been changed.
If it's clean, the princess can take a bath at any time."
Si Cang said calmly: "Go and wait outside first."
"yes."
The two female officials walked out, and the maid outside the palace did not dare to enter without being summoned. At this time, there were only Sicang and Yun Zishu in the dormitory.
Si Cang turned to look at the girl beside him, his eyes were gentle and relaxed. After a moment, he put his arms around Yun Zishu's shoulders: "We are about to get married, can I give your highness a hug in advance?"
Yun Zishu's voice was leisurely: "I've already hugged you, why are you here to ask?"
Sicang wrapped Yun Zishu's whole body in his arms, feeling her warmth and breath, and his heart was filled to the brim, "When I think about having a legitimate identity, I am especially looking forward to the arrival of the ninth day of the lunar month."
"Whether there is a wedding ceremony on the ninth day of the lunar month or not, we already have a legitimate relationship." Yun Zishu raised her eyes, stood on tiptoes and kissed his chin, "There are marriage letters signed by the emperors of the two countries, and our love is
Xiangyue’s promise, are you still worried that I don’t belong to you?”
There was a warm and numb feeling on his strong jaw. Si Cang was absent-minded for a moment. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his chin, then shook his head and corrected him sternly: "No. I belong to you and will always belong to His Highness alone.
all."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Is this showing loyalty?"
Sicang smiled and nodded: "Yes."
After all, Dongyou is a strange country to her. There are too many people here who are hostile to her. Si Cang wants to give her a sense of security, a sense of security that is solid and worry-free.
Yun Zishu sensed his thoughts and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry too much. I am not a delicate person who worries about gains and losses, nor is I a weakling who allows others to bully me."
Si Cang hummed and reluctantly let her go: "Take a bath and rest earlier?"
Yun Zishu nodded.
Si Cang then called the two female officials and Leng Yue. Leng Shuang came in, and the other maids followed him with lowered eyebrows and stood up.
"These two are the female officials in the palace, and they will be responsible for serving the Crown Princess in the Qihuang Palace from now on." Sicang said, looking at the maids who came with the bride, "As for the other people, how they served His Highness in the past, how they will serve in the future.
, no mistakes are allowed.”
"yes."
The two female officials saluted Yun Zishu: "My slave Xianglan, please see the Crown Princess."
"My slave Yueying, please see the Crown Princess."
Yun Zishu said: "No need to be polite."
"The person in charge of the inner house of the Prince's Mansion is Aunt Shi. Starting tomorrow, if you have any questions, you can contact Aunt Shi." Sicang explained carefully, "The commander in charge of guarding the outer courtyard is named Cen Mo. The housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion is named You. You call him
Butler You or Uncle You.”
The maids all responded.
"When you have nothing to do on weekdays, protect Qifeng Palace well. Don't talk to people you don't know easily. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Don't bring irrelevant people into Qifeng Palace." Sicang's cold eyes glanced slightly, "
The rules are still the same as before. Serve the princess well and you can live a stable life here. If you have thoughts that you shouldn't have or do things you shouldn't do, you will bear the consequences yourself."
The maids all knelt down: "I don't dare, slave."
"Xianglan, Yueying." Sicang turned around, "They are new here, so you two are responsible for pointing out anything they don't understand."
"Slave, please obey."
"From the moment you step into Qifeng Palace, the fate of all of you is tied together. Don't do anything you shouldn't do." Sicang said in a stern tone, "It is your only responsibility to serve the Crown Princess well."
The maids must be terrified.
Sicang didn't say anything more, he just said: "Serve His Highness to bathe and change clothes."
"yes."
Yun Zishu looked at him without saying a word, with a hint of smile hidden in her eyes. She suddenly felt that Sicang's noble and impressive demeanor at this moment had an attraction that could not be ignored.
Yun Zishu turned around and went to take a bath under the guidance of the two female officials. Her slender body was soaked in the warm water. The hot air was slightly wafting and the fragrance was faintly floating. The fatigue on her body gradually eased at this moment.
Yun Zishu closed her eyes and leaned on the edge of the bath, being served by the maids. She thought about the people at the palace banquet tonight... Dongyou's general Wang Huangfu Liyuan is the most important figure in Dongyou, holding a heavy army.
, currently there is no hostility towards Sicang. As for whether it can be used in the future, it is hard to say yet.
Although the princes at the front of the seats have not spoken much, their eyes that frequently look at Sicang are always probing, as if they are evaluating whether he is easy to deal with. Their guard, fear and hostility are always there.
The palace banquet was short, and the first half was all about Yun Zishu, so the other important ministers of Dongyou didn't have a chance to express their opinions. It's not yet clear who they are loyal to, but this is something Sicang will figure out, and she doesn't need to worry about it then.
.
Although there is nothing wrong with the mental state of His Majesty the Emperor sitting in front of the Dragon Case, it is true that the Dragon's body is not well. The Queen talks more, has a strong desire to control, and acts a bit eager. For the mother of a country who is in charge of the power of the harem.
, such eagerness seems a bit abnormal.
The emperor spoke little, but it was clear that he had absolute decision-making power.
It is true that Dongyou's generation has few heirs, but it is also true that the royal family has absolute power. If the emperor sincerely supports Sicang and is not as eager to control his son as the queen is, what Sicang wants to do should be
Easier.
Yun Zishu opened her eyes and suddenly sighed softly, with a little self-mockery.
She has now learned the habit of seeing and listening in all directions, and can analyze the situation at any time. Is this considered a kind of growth?
After bathing, Yun Zishu entered the inner hall wearing a snow-white tunic. The delicious fragrance from the bedding penetrated her nose lightly. She sat on the bedside and asked, "Where will the prince sleep tonight?"
