After sending all the commoners away, Xu Rouzhi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off of her shoulders. Wiping the grease off her hands, she returned to the manor happily.

Coincidentally, Su Shangwu was preparing to leave the palace, but when the two groups of people met outside the hall, although Su Shangwu had a poker face, he still cupped his hands towards Xu Rouzhi: "Princess Qi!"

Then, Su Shangwu and the rest quickly left the Prince Qi Mansion. Xu Rou blinked and looked at the servants on both sides of her. "May I ask who was that lord just now?"

A servant of the Prince's Mansion at the side quickly answered: "That Sir just now was Commander Su, Sir Su."

"Oh, oh, soldier Su!" Xu Rouzhi nodded, Su Leyao's father!

Then, Su Shangwu should be here for Su Yue Yao who was grounded!

So, would he hear about the news of Su Leyao being released from her confinement in a while?

Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi with unease, she did not know if Xu Rouzhi would be unhappy, but Xu Rouzhi's face revealed her signature sweet smile, suddenly making people feel that she was an extremely innocent and cute girl.

Bi Su followed Xu Rouzhi's gaze and looked towards the hall, at the corridor of the hall, a red crane cloaked Chu Yixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows revealed a hint of coldness.

"I did a great deed today. Your highness, quick, reward me!" Xu Rouzhi's face was full of joy as he received the rewards like a child.

Chu Yixuan said indifferently, "The wangfei has stirred up a huge trouble, and he still has the nerve to claim credit for it."

"When did I get into big trouble?" Xu Rouzhi felt wronged and said, "I was obviously helping the Duke to win his favor."

"See, what's wrong with the words?" Chu Yixuan turned towards the main hall, "Firstly, this king does not need to bribe anyone. Secondly, how can I bribe the people in the heart? Just a few Lotus Leaf Chickens? "

"Definitely, ah. His heart is the softest. He will treat anyone who treats him well." Xu Rouzhi caught up with Chu Yixuan, "The hearts of the people are like water, you can overturn your boat even if you want to!"

Chu Yixuan turned around and glanced at Xu Rouzhi, "I'm not an emperor, why would I need the people's hearts?"

"Of course it's useful!" Xu Rouzhi blinked her eyes at Chu Yixuan, "The prince is the son of the emperor, isn't he doing good on behalf of the emperor?"

Chu Yixuan sighed and nodded, "Alright, I hope that Princess Huo Wu will take it to heart."

Xu Rouzhi rubbed her hands together happily, "Then why isn't the king giving it to me yet?"

Chu Yixuan nodded, "Ok, rewards. What does the wangfei want? "

Xu Rouzhi immediately touched her stomach, "I want something delicious!"

Chu Yixuan turned his head to look at Xu Rouzhi in surprise. "Didn't you give a large amount of silver to the princess every day? Could it be that Aunt Ma did not give any money at all? "

"That's not true. I've already received my allowance for a month, but my daily allowance has already been arranged to be used for the relief of the commoners!"

Chu Yixuan turned his head silently: "Lu Ming."

Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."

Chu Yixuan said: "Tell the kitchen to bring this king's lunch to the wangfei's room."

Lu Ming replied: "This subordinate will go right away."

Xu Rouzhi was overjoyed, "Your highness, this is great! Then let's eat together at the Jinxiu House at noon! "

"Then there's no need," Chu Yixuan lowered his head and patted his sleeve, "The palace has already sent a message, so this duke will be entering the palace right away."

Xu Rouzhi was startled: "Relief?"

Chu Yixuan said indifferently, "What else do you think?"

Xu Rouzhi was not nervous. On the contrary, she was amused.

Chu Yixuan couldn't help but turn back and look at her: "I'm taking pleasure in your misfortune."

Xu Rouzhi pursed her lips and laughed: "Of course not. — — Cough cough, I was careless, all I could do was to help the Duke, but I never thought that there would be any problems in doing so. — — However, the Prince should not worry, maybe the Duke has to bear some blame for this, but the Prince Qi Palace has truly gained something from the hearts of the people!"

Chu Yixuan calmly packed an exquisite teapot, "Alright, it's rare to wake up so early, and you've been tired for the whole morning. Go back to the Jinxiu House to prepare your meal."

"This teapot is so beautiful!" Xu Rouzhi squeezed to Chu Yixuan's side and touched the purple sand teapot that was in the box, "Is this a present for His Majesty?"

Chu Yixuan looked at her. "If wangfei likes it, this duke will make another one to give to wangfei one day."

Xu Rouzhi was a little surprised: "This was even made by the Duke himself?"

"I did some during my free time." Chu Yixuan's tone was light.

"It's hard to refuse a favor, so I accept it!" Xu Rouzhi proudly raised her chin and swaggered out of the hall.

Chu Yixuan slowly turned around and watched Xu Rouzhi's light figure leave. He could not help but smile.

It was hard for her to refuse, but who was the one who was friendly?

This girl was quite thick-skinned.

However, a thick-skinned man was annoying, and a thick-skinned girl seemed quite likeable. Especially such a cute girl like Xu Rouzhi.

Returning to the Jinxiu House, Bi Su still had some lingering fear. "The words that the wangfei said just now really scared Bi Su to death!"

"Why?"

"Your Highness might think that we were trying to push the Prince Qi Palace into the limelight, but the wangfei didn't say a single word to explain it. What if Your Highness really wants to do that?"

"I had wanted to push the Prince Qi Palace into the limelight in the first place." Xu Rouzhi said as if nothing had happened.

"Huh?" Bi Su was shocked, "That … Your Highness must have seen through it! "

Xu Rouzhi laughed, "He's not stupid, how can you not tell?"

Bi Su panicked. "Then why didn't you explain it to her and cover it up?"

Xu Rouzhi smiled, and said slowly: "If he thinks so, then there's no use in me explaining! An explanation is a cover up, and a cover up is the truth. Isn't that more obvious? "

"Explaining is concealing, concealing is hiding the truth," Bi Su did not understand and thus said anxiously: "But by explaining it to them, at least I can let the Duke lower his guard against the consort."

Xu Rouzhi laughed: "How smart is Chu Yixuan? Explaining would be enough to remove his suspicions. However, he didn't make things difficult for me, right? "

"That's true!" Bi Su said doubtfully, "I don't know what Your Highness means, but even though I clearly knew that Princess Hua-Yang was purposely messing around, he didn't try to punish her, and even gave her his lunch. This, Bi Su is unable to understand."

"I'm fine. His attitude is unclear, so there's no need for us to guess. " Xu Rouzhi smiled, "As the proverb goes, 'Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng'. I just want to see how she will deal with this situation after the Prince Qi Palace has been pushed to the forefront."

Bi Su looked at Xu Rouzhi, puzzled.

Outside the Imperial Palace, Chu Yixuan had just alighted from the sedan, and coincidentally met with Chu Yizhao who was rushing out of the palace.

Since they had met, the two brothers had to greet each other.

"Big brother."

"Third brother."

who was pale white face, covered his mouth and coughed, Chu Yizhao patted his shoulder: Why have you not recovered from your illness yet? "Imperial Physician Chen is too useless. I'll report it to the Royal Father and send another imperial physician to treat you."

"You can't blame Imperial Physician Chen." Chu Yixuan forced a smile. "Imperial Physician Chen has already tried her best, it was my own body that wasn't healthy enough."

Chu Yizhao sighed, and then changed the topic to today's matters, "What's going on? Princess Qi seemed to always be a well-behaved person, and she also seemed to have a weak personality. Why did she give Prince Qi Palace such a big trouble this time?"

Chu Yixuan lowered his eyes, "It's my fault, I wasn't optimistic about her. However, she was also kind. A few days ago, when he went out to play, he heard that this year's harvest was not good, so he wanted to do his best to help those commoners. "

"Is that so?" Chu Yizhao nodded, "Since it is a show of good intentions, I presume that Royal Father will not blame you too much. However, the Crown’s Master is not strict with the girls, I am afraid they will be punished. "

"It has nothing to do with the Crown’s Master. Rou Zhi has been married into the Prince Qi Palace for two years, and is already a member of there. If I have to accept punishment in her place, it should be me. "

"Don't worry, I will advise Royal Father." Chu Yizhao said, "I still have some important matters to attend to, so I will be returning to the Palace later. If there is anything urgent, please send someone to inform me."

Chu Yixuan slowly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Big Brother. Big brother, take care. "

Chu Yizhao nodded his head, boarded his light vehicle and headed towards the justice courts.

How unexpected! This Xu Rouzhi moved so quickly, that he had already handed over the evidence of Sang Woruo attempting to infiltrate the imperial government. Due to the reputation of the Prince Qi Palace, Chu Yixuan did not have the good fortune to publicly punish Sang Woruo, but in order to protect the Prince Qi Palace, Chu Yixuan would definitely think of a way to punish Sang Woruo, and cut off the evidence of the Sang and Han families secretly infiltrating the imperial government.

Now, Xu Rouzhi had suddenly come up with a plan to provide assistance to the citizens. In the entire morning, the news of the Prince Qi Palace providing assistance to the citizens had spread throughout the entire Ji City, and all the court officials raised their eyebrows. The emperor was also displeased, as he had unknowingly pushed the entire Prince Qi Palace onto the cusp of the news. Even though the Prince Qi Palace had always kept a low profile, after this matter, everyone would think that Chu Yixuan had also begun to win over their hearts and hearts! This move, Xu Rouzhi did a good job!

Therefore, when Xu Chang apologized to Chu Yizhao, Chu Yizhao laughed loudly: "It's alright! "Although you acted without asking, but this action suits my heart, so there's no need for you to tell me!"

"Isn't the crown prince weird?"

"No wonder!" Let her go! I think she's smart and nimble. Maybe she can come up with a way that is even better than what we think! "

Looking at the smiling Chu Yixuan, Xu Chang was secretly surprised.

In the end, what about his daughter, Xu Rouzhi? Why did Chu Yizhao admire and praise her so highly for her intelligence and agility?

Perhaps, it was time to see that girl!

Chu Yixuan's lunch was served at Jinxiu House's table in the kitchen.

Looking at the few simple dishes, Xu Rouzhi was startled. The Uncle Lin saw her confusion and quickly explained, "The Royal Concubine doesn't know that there are a lot of food that the Prince cannot eat. Besides, the Prince's body is weak, he cannot receive much nourishment, and he has never had any appetite.

Xu Rouzhi was a little surprised: "He always eats it in such a simple manner?"

The Uncle Lin nodded: "The prince has always ate simply, but there is also another reason."

"What reason?" Xu Rouzhi was suspicious.

"When the noble people were still alive, they had repeatedly warned the prince that he must act in a low-key manner, that he must be a simple person, that he should not be tainted with luxurious manners, and that he should not blindly compete with others. If you have the ability, it is best to do more for the people than to live for yourself. Therefore, other than the normal portion that the servants use, the King used all of his own effort to help the citizens in the Prince Qi Mansion. It has already been more than ten years since Your Highness helped the citizens, and this old servant has been in charge of everything. Even in the Prince Qi Palace, there are very few people who are aware of this. "

Xu Rouzhi frowned, did she hear it right? Chu Yixuan had actually been secretly saving the lives of the commoners, so low key that few people knew about it? Was he really such a good person?
