Realizing that Zhu Lian had no intention of punishing her, Chen Yushu was flattered and quickly lowered her head and saluted: "The princess is so kind, and I am so flattered."
"The concubine's side..."
Before Chen Yushu could finish speaking, Zhu Lian interrupted bluntly: "You are the maid, and Zheng Qingyun is the concubine. They cannot be confused with each other."
"You don't have to abide by the rules, but you must understand them. If one day, His Majesty or a noble person in the palace summons her, she won't even be able to play tricks on the occasion. Wouldn't she be gone in the blink of an eye?"
Chen Yushu understood Zhu Lian's good intentions and stopped interceding for Zheng Qingyun. After all, this was the price she had to pay to become a concubine.
Chen Yushu exited the study, stood at the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiaoxia also followed out, her face flushed with excitement.
Chen Yushu was confused. Xiaoxia was clearly crying before, so why did she become so happy again when she turned her face away?
Seemingly seeing Chen Yushu's doubts, Xiaoxia immediately explained: "It's not like you don't know the princess's character, how arrogant she is?"
"Originally, I was worried that the princess would continue to confront the prince, but I didn't expect that the princess would rein in the situation so quickly."
"It seems that I am overly concerned. The relationship between the prince and the princess is beyond our ability to figure out."
After such a reminder, Chen Yushu realized that Zhu Lian, who had always been arrogant and majestic, would bow his head and admit his mistakes without hesitation.
It seems that when the prince is angry, even the princess has to avoid his anger and try to appease the prince as much as possible.
Chen Yushu admired this level of advance and retreat.
No wonder Zhu Lian is the undoubted master of Prince Ding’s Mansion!
Zhu Lian, who was counting the accounts, heard footsteps outside the door and said without raising his head: "A noble prince is so sneaky, isn't it ridiculous?"
Although Zhao Huan was very domineering and dignified in the laundry room before, when he really faced Zhu Lian, he still had to be cowardly.
Zhao Huan grinned and walked in shamelessly.
"My beloved concubine is really amazing. She has already reached the point where she can identify people by listening to their voices. If she practices with concentration, I'm afraid she will become a martial arts master in no time."
Zhu Lian was too lazy to argue with Zhao Huan and said angrily: "Stop interrupting!"
"If you have any resentment in your heart, just come and tell me, you are the prince, how can I not obey you?"
"If you punish Xiao Xia in public, wouldn't it make me unable to come to power?"
"Still..."
Zhu Lian suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhao Huan with deep meaning: "You feel that I am too close to my mother's family, and you are deliberately trying to beat me."
Zhao Huan sat down next to Zhu Lian. Two people were squeezed into one chair. Not to mention how awkward it was, but Zhao Huan not only did not feel uncomfortable, but was actually filled with joy.
However, his face looked extremely aggrieved.
"What a huge injustice!"
"No matter who I beat, I will never beat my concubine. If it were not for my concubine, how could I be where I am today? You are a great contributor to the palace."
"I will not do anything to kill donkeys."
Zhu Lian snorted softly: "Don't do this, I am your married wife. How can I not know who you are?"
"I'm afraid it's easy for you to do things like unloading mills and killing donkeys, right?"
"But this is your men's business. Naturally, I will not interfere. But in the future, you should stay out of the affairs of the inner house."
"You are the prince, you shouldn't be distracted by such trivial matters."
Hearing this, Zhao Huan was extremely moved. With such a virtuous wife, why worry about the palace not being prosperous?
Zhao Huan calmly hugged Zhu Lian's shoulders. When he found that Zhu Lian didn't struggle, he became more courageous and directly pulled her into his arms.
With the delicate body in his arms, Zhao Huan's heart was filled with beauty, but his face was serious.
"All the chores and trivial matters in the palace are naturally decided by my beloved concubine. If it were anyone else, I would not be at ease."
"As for my beloved concubine's good intentions for Qingyun, I also understand that it is Yu Shu..."
Before Zhao Huan could finish speaking, Zhu Lian interrupted directly.
"I already know this, so don't be nagging me."
"In the future, you can just come to me directly for this kind of matter. It's not easy to deal with it yourself."
"Is it because the war in Yizhou is over that you have so much energy to seek justice for a maid?"
Although he was scolded by Zhu Lian, Zhao Huan felt warm in his heart. It was precisely because of Zhu Lian's silent support that Zhao Huan was able to run Yizhou without any distractions.
But when it comes to Yizhou, Zhao Huan feels a little worried.
"No matter how this battle is fought, I will definitely win. But the problem is that the date agreed with His Majesty is coming soon, but Gao Tuoshan is still alive and kicking..."
"I wish I could spread my wings now, fly directly to Yizhou, and stab that son of a bitch with a knife."
Seeing Zhao Huan's dirty words, Zhu Lian frowned slightly, but ignored him. After all, she had long been accustomed to Zhao Huan's informality.
"Why do you, Your Majesty and I, talk about this?"
"If a woman from this palace makes irresponsible remarks about the war, wouldn't she make the prince dislike her?"
Zhao Huan's eyes widened: "What are you talking about! My beloved concubine is a talented woman. If she has a good idea, I will naturally listen to her."
Zhu Lian finally showed a smile and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Husband...ahem...your lord."
Zhao Huan slapped the table: "Just call me husband, no need to change your words!"
Zhu Lian's cheeks turned red instantly. Although she had fully accepted Zhao Huan, she was still a little uncomfortable with calling her "Prince" for ten years and suddenly changing her name to "Husband".
However, the husband and wife ceremony is about to take place, and it would be extremely inappropriate if we do not change our words.
She could only endure her shyness and whispered: "My husband is short of money in Yizhou in the long term, and in the short term he is short of people."
"Although Sun He and other royal soldiers are stepping up their training, they will not be of much use in the short term."
"If now, there is a surprise force that can sneak attack the rear of the victorious army, even if the assassination fails, they can form a pincer attack with Yue Fei, turn passivity into initiative, and completely reverse the situation of the war."
"As long as the Ever Victorious Army is in chaos, they can cling to Gao Tuoshan and pursue him to the ends of the earth."
Zhao Huan naturally understood this, but the problem was that a clever woman could not make a meal without rice. Where could he find such a brave and capable army?
He felt discouraged, but Zhao Huan deliberately put on a dumbfounded face: "As expected of my beloved concubine, everything she said was on point!"
"My beloved concubine is not only a genius in the business world, but also a talented general and minister!"
Zhu Lian blushed and spat: "Bah, stop flattering me."
"You must have thought this through for a long time. I just want to tell you that my father has been the governor for so many years, and he has not been in vain."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huan became even more confused: "Isn't my father-in-law, Lao Taishan, the military envoy of Wu Kang's army? Wu Kang's army is far away in the horizon. I'm afraid the water from far away can't quench the thirst of the people nearby, right?"
Zhu Lian rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you so confused now?"
"Isn't there still my elder brother?"
Brother-in-law Zhu Xiaosun? General of the Right Jinwu Guard?
Zhao Huan slapped his thigh. Damn it, why did he forget his brother-in-law?
