Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 357 Wash your hands and make soup

After seeing off Qiao Yunqian and Cui Yurong, the new female officer in charge came over.

Fair skin, plump face, thin eyebrows, a pair of jasper earrings by the ear, and two jasper hairpins on the head.Wearing dark green clothes, embroidered with simple and elegant twig patterns.

She slightly bent her knees and saluted dignifiedly: "My servant Suyu pays homage to the Crown Princess."

Zhao Xi nodded slightly and asked her a few words.

Suyu answered her exactly.

He used to be an errand in the palace, and was later assigned by the emperor to come to the East Palace, and was placed in the Department of Tibet by Li Xuanye, in charge of the warehouse of the East Palace.

Zhao Xiwei was a little surprised.

She thought that Li Xuanye would send someone like Nanny Sun over.

Being in charge of the money and currency of the Eastern Palace is not something that ordinary maids can do.

Zhao Xiwei took the teacup, observed her calmly, and asked, "Have you ever worked for Queen Gu?"

There was also a look of surprise in Suyu's eyes, but it was only a glance, and it was fleeting.

She folded her hands on her waist and said with a smile: "Regarding the Crown Princess, the servants were fortunate to have served in the Queen's Palace, but they had no chance to serve them personally, so they dare not pretend to be on duty by the Queen's side."

The words that can be said directly, but they beat around the bush, but at the same time they are watertight, and there is no fault at all.

It seems that this Suyu did not regard her as the real master.

Zhao Xi smiled, and pointed to the round stool in front of the table: "Since you are an old man in front of the queen, you must have seen big scenes, and I won't go around with you when I say something."

"Yes." Suyu said honestly, "If the Crown Princess has any orders, the servants can just listen to them."

When she didn't take a seat, Zhao Xiwei didn't force her, but said slowly: "The servants in my dormitory are all little girls. They are young and have low qualifications. Sometimes they are a little irritable when they do things, or they are a little naive. I came here to make them set up the rules."

Suyu replied calmly: "Yes, slaves must do their best."

Zhao Xiwei continued: "It's me, who just married into the East Palace, and I don't know much about many things, so I have to ask you to raise a little bit more."

"The crown princess is serious. Since the servant has received the order from His Royal Highness, it is natural to serve the crown princess well."

"I got the order of the prince"

The implication is that he only obeys Li Xuanye's orders.

Zhao Xiwei paused while drinking tea, and couldn't help raising his eyes to take another look.

Suyu smiled calmly, neither humble nor overbearing.

There was nothing wrong with it, but it still made Zhao Xiwei feel an indescribably weird feeling.

Forget it, since she is Li Xuanye's person, it is impossible for her to just send her back like this.

"In this case, then you will remember my words."

Zhao Xiwei put down the teacup and said slowly: "Although you are invited to set rules for the girls, I am not a harsh person after all. These girls are all young, so they must be more lively and clever, or talkative. Those who are stupid or unresponsive are not big sins, and I have never punished them for this. Don't restrain them too much in the future."

She looked at Suyu: "Working by my side, the first thing is to behave in a responsible manner, the second is to do things honestly, and the most important thing is to be devoted to me, do you understand?"

Facing her calm gaze, Suyu gradually withdrew the smile on her face, and replied respectfully: "I understand."

Zhao Xi smiled and nodded: "Go down."

Suyu retreated lightly.

Zhao Xi looked at the swaying pearl and jade curtain, thoughtfully.

After taking the last sip of tea, she called out, "Jinxiu."

Jinxiu came in immediately: "Miss."

"Are there any fresh ingredients in the kitchen?"

"There are some wild mushrooms." Jinxiu was taken aback, "It's so late, what do you want to eat?"

Zhao Xiwei was already walking towards the gate of the palace with her skirt in hand, "I want to make a bowl of soup for Your Highness."

Make soup?
Steaming hot hibiscus soup in a small bowl of sweet white porcelain.

Li Xuanye looked at the smiling person in front of him, took the small bowl, put it on the table, and pulled her over.

"Your Highness!" Zhao Xi pushed his shoulder slightly, dissatisfied: "The soup is going to be cold..."

Li Xuanye ignored her complaints, took a look at her fingers, and saw that there were no traces of burns, and then said with a smile: "From then on, the long skirt is like a smile, and I wash my hands and make soup for you—— Wei'er is planning to take care of me personally?"

"It's not impossible!" Zhao Xi smiled, and his lips as bright as peach blossoms curved softly: "If your highness wants, I am willing to make soup for your highness every day..."

"Really?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, "As long as I want?"

Zhao Xiwei wanted to pull out his hand, but he held it tighter, so he gave up resisting: "I will do whatever your Highness likes every day!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly retracted his arms and hugged her into his arms.

He pressed his forehead against hers, and said with an ambiguous smile, "But this is not what I want to eat..."

Zhao Xiwei stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and asked slyly and mischievously: "Then what does Your Highness want to eat?"

"..."

Li Xuanye choked.

"I know a lot. What do you want to eat, Your Highness? Why don't you tell me in detail...Maybe I'm good at it!" Her eyes rolled, like the lake under the weeping willows, gently rippling round and round , It directly opened up countless waves in the lake of people's hearts.

"..."

His Highness the Crown Prince felt a little parched for a moment.

Faced with such provocations, but unable to accept the move...

"Wei'er!" He ducked back and warned in a low voice, "Don't mess around!"

"Where am I messing around?" Zhao Xi smiled slightly, and his finger fell on his Adam's apple along his chin, with a delicate tone: "Tell me, Your Highness, what exactly do you want to eat?"

Once this person has tasted the sweetness of counterattack, he will become more and more presumptuous.

If things go on like this, how can the prince's majesty be maintained?
His Royal Highness grabbed her wrist and forced her to stay away from him, then he asked ambiguously: "What do I want to eat, Wei'er doesn't know?"

His eyes were fiery, spreading from her face, her neck, and her neckline in clusters, like a raging fire, as if to devour her.

Zhao Xiwei's heart beat a little faster, she touched her hot cheeks, and looked at him with a smile: "What do you want to eat, Your Highness?"

"How to eat?" His Royal Highness laughed lightly.

With a flip of his palm, he grabbed her waist, "Just eat like this!"

As soon as his arm was strong, he firmly imprisoned her on his leg. His tone was harsh and full of threats: "If you dare to mess around again, believe it or not, I will cure you now!"

Just sitting on his lap...

Zhao Xiwei was really scared. She blushed and changed the subject: "Your Highness, drink the soup quickly. This is my best lotus soup. It won't taste good when it's cold!"

Li Xuanye refused to accept her surrender, lowered his head and bit her neck, bit by bit, flaunting a mark of victory on the snow skin.
