Chapter 1018： The less trouble, the better

Chapter 1018 It’s better to do less than to do more

Caiyun stepped forward and filled another half bowl of porridge for his master. He was extremely envious of Shuiyun and Shuiling.

Although she has the respect and trust of the princess, she is still a slave.

Princess Kangle, however, truly treats these two maids as relatives...

Not long after dinner, a young **** under Eunuch Feng came to report the news.

"Third princess, princess, Eunuch Feng asked the villain to come over and report a few words. Just now, Eunuch Li from the Criminal Investigation Department asked to see the emperor. The previous incident of blocking the carriage at the palace gate has already been resolved.

"Vice-Commander Qu did not participate in the command and was responsible for dereliction of duty. Several soldiers were drunk and offended the princess and the princess. The emperor dismissed Vice-Commander Qu from his position and sent several soldiers to the southwest to do hard labor."

The third princess frowned when she heard this and asked angrily, "Is that the end? Didn't you find out who commanded the soldiers? How could they be so bold as to insult me, the princess, just because they were drunk?!"

The little **** was a little embarrassed and did not dare to speak anymore.

Jiayin thought for a while and comforted the young eunuch, "Princess, I'm not blaming you, don't worry. You can go back first and thank Eunuch Feng for us."

After saying that, she glanced at Shui Ling.

Shui Ling immediately stepped forward, gave the little **** a purse with a smile, and then led him out.

The third princess looked full of grievances and was silent for a long time before asking for good news, "Father also said that he would love me in the future and would not let me be wronged.

"Look, it's still like this! He knew clearly that those soldiers couldn't stop my car because they were drunk. There must be someone behind the scenes, but he just let those people fool him!"

The good news can only comfort, "Maybe the emperor has some unavoidable difficulties. If the water is clear, there will be no fish."

Thinking of the arrangements made by Mu Jue, she smiled again, "But don't be angry, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. Even if someone plots against us behind our back, they will never end well."

The third princess looked up with red eyes and looked very confused, but Jiayin smiled and refused to say anything more...

After three or four days, the Ministry of War finally came to a conclusion regarding the destruction of the Northern Expeditionary Army's rations.

Almost half of the military generals’ families in Xindu were involved.

This shocked many people, but after thinking about it carefully, they became silent.

  No one wanted the Marquis of Xinting to take on such a great achievement as recovering half of the country by himself.

If you can’t get a share of the pie, then you have to hold back.

I have to say, human nature is so ugly!

The emperor was furious and executed all those involved on the spot.

Regardless of whether they were generals or soldiers, they were all sent to the southwest to do hard labor and eat sand.

When the third princess heard about it, she was extremely surprised. She asked Jiayin and asked, "Do you know anything? Are these white-eyed wolves who destroyed the army rations also the masterminds behind bullying our soldiers?"

Jiayin was pruning the flowers and trees in the yard, holding the scissors in her hand. Now she was afraid of hurting her, so she quickly put them down and said helplessly, "I'm not a prophet, how could I know? It's just a casual sigh!"

“However, there is truth to the saying that evil will be punished. Let’s make roast duck burritos tonight to celebrate?”

“Of course!” The third princess was in a good mood. She immediately agreed and asked the palace servants to go to the imperial kitchen to ask for two ducks.

The good news simply added a sentence, asking the palace people to ask for a few more.

You need to turn on the stove to bake them every once in a while. The weather is hot and it’s not easy to sweat. It’s better to bake a few more.

The emperor sent two as a gift, and the maids and eunuchs of Zhilan Palace also followed suit to have a fresh meal.

Hearing that he also had a share, all the maids and eunuchs were happy, and Le Diandian helped.

As a result, when the sun was setting in the west, the roast duck was coming out of the oven, and Lu Zong actually entered the palace.

The third princess was so happy that she led Lu Zong in and presented the treasure with a smile, "Brother Lu, you came just in time. Jiayin has roasted duck, and we want to eat roast duck burritos."

"Really? Then I'm in luck!" Lu Zong smiled warmly and happily, shaking the gold-painted fan in his hand, which looked a bit like a noble prince's pride and ease.

The third princess blushed when she saw the good news. She happened to come into the house after finishing her busy work. She couldn't help but be surprised, "Why is Brother Lu here?" Lu Zong glanced at her and answered the question, "In such a hot weather, just let the palace servants do the work. Why are you doing it yourself? Be careful of heatstroke."

Jiayin waved her hands indifferently, "I have loved eating since I was a child, and I also like to make food by hand. This is fun and fun for me. It would be too boring to let others do it."

Lu Zong smiled and shook his head, no longer persuading, and then someone gave him an exquisite straw basket.

“There are some dried fruits here that were brought from my home. They taste good to me, so I’ll bring some here for you to try.”

The third princess was happy, opened a jar, took a dried fruit to taste, and handed another to Jiayin. Jiayin quickly waved her hand, "I was feeling uncomfortable from the stove just now, and I have no appetite. You can eat it."

The third princess embraced the jar happily and said, "Then I'll keep it all to myself."

"Of course I have to keep it to myself. Brother Lu originally brought it for you." Jiayin said with a smile, "You guys talk, I'll pack two roast ducks, and Brother Lu will take them back to eat when he leaves."

The third princess smiled happily and shouted, "Thank you for the good news, you are the best!"

Jiayin secretly made a face at her, making her blush, and then went out with a smile.

Lu Zong lowered his head to drink tea, as if he didn’t see...

As night falls, darkness envelopes the entire palace. Lanterns are lit everywhere, and the shadows are blurred. The numerous pavilions have a different kind of beauty.

Jiayin and the Third Princess ate a roast duck and were both a little exhausted. They held their arms and walked around the yard to eat.

The third princess suddenly remembered the Queen Mother and was a little curious. She whispered in Jiayin's ear and said, "Jiayin, why do you think that old woman has stopped doing business recently? Didn't she find fault with us?"

Jiayin certainly knows the reason.

The secret passages to the outside of Shoukang Palace have been discovered, and the hands of the Queen Mother and her party have been stripped clean. The Queen Mother is now like a tiger in a cage, looking scary but unable to hurt anyone.

But she can't say that. The third princess is not stupid and is willing to listen to advice. However, she has been spoiled since she was a child. She occasionally loses her temper and may do or say something wrong when she is impulsive.

She cannot bear the responsibility if the emperor's arrangements are broken.

Simply put, it is better to do less than to do more.

“I don’t know either. Maybe I think we are not easy to bully and don’t want to waste my efforts.”

The good news was perfunctory, causing the third princess to raise her head proudly, "Haha, she knows what's going on!"

At this time, I heard someone laughing at the door, "Who are you talking about? Who has messed with my precious daughter again!"

The third princess turned around and shouted in surprise, "Oh, father, why are you here?"

She ran straight over and took the emperor's arm affectionately.

Jiayin also smiled and stepped forward to salute, standing on the other side of the emperor.

The emperor glanced at the elegantly decorated courtyard and said with a smile, "I am concerned about your health. I thought that after taking tonics for a few days, you should be much better. Unexpectedly, you are living a good life these days!"

"Of course," the third princess replied without humility, "even if I don't do it, there is still good news. She can eat and play well, and all my sons and daughters want to marry her!"

The emperor was amused and laughed loudly. He raised his hand and patted Jiayin's back, feeling very pleased.

“Fu Niu’er, thank you for coming to the palace to accompany this silly girl of mine.”

"Uncle Huang, you're welcome. Princess and sister treat me very well. Even if I act stupid occasionally, it's within my tolerance." Jiayin made a face, making the emperor laugh again.

Soon, a chair was added under the eaves of the corridor, and refreshments and fruits were placed.

The emperor sat in the middle, looking at the flowers and orange lanterns all over the courtyard, blowing the cool evening breeze, and sighed softly...
