Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 342: Prince Xiaoduo is teasing you

The reason why I think so is because Hong Xiaoduo helped the three departments solve the case, and the emperor must know about it, so he wants to keep him?
Fengliang Kingdom had had female officials before. Although that female official died of illness and there have been no female officials since then, at least there was a precedent of women serving as officials.

"It's not easy to come to the capital. I've visited the Ministry of Justice, so I want to go to the Ministry of Rites to broaden my horizons." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.

"Prince Mu, Xiaoduo is teasing you." Hua Shi on the side couldn't help but speak.

Mu Rongjing looked at Hong Xiaoduo helplessly, but he was still very happy in his heart. He really liked that she would joke with him.

"Hey, what's this, Prince?" Hua asked, looking at the bag in Murongjing's hand.

"My mother had someone make a few sets of clothes for Xiaoduo and asked me to deliver them to her. She told Xiaoduo to keep the ones she likes and throw away the ones she doesn't like." Mu Rongjing looked at Hong Xiaoduo and responded to Hua.

Hong Xiaoduo just saw the package in his hand and was thinking that it was a gift for her clothes, but a package like this one wouldn't be big enough for her clothes.

Hearing this, he took the package and put it on the table to open it. In addition to the one he changed out of at the Marquis' Mansion, there were three other sets. He unfolded them and saw that they were all the same styles he had worn before. As for the colors, one set was light blue, one set was plum green, and one set was light mauve.

"Wow, the princess has chosen the best colors, I like them all. The embroidery is so exquisite, isn't it?" Hong Xiaoduo gently touched the lapels, cuffs, and the flower, butterfly and auspicious cloud patterns on the hem, and couldn't let go.

"Hehe, I chose the color, and my mother chose the material." Mu Rongjing said with a smile when he saw that she liked it.

"This embroidery, these stitches, this is the workmanship of the three embroiderers at Furong Pavilion, right?" Hua could tell at a glance.

Mu Rongjing smiled and nodded. The main thing was that judging from her reaction, she really liked it. Well, when I go back, I must remember to bring my mother her favorite walnut and red date cake.

After hearing what Hua said, Hong Xiaoduo guessed without asking that Furong Pavilion should be a very famous embroidery workshop in the capital.

Unexpectedly, Mu Rongjing's mother, the princess, was so attentive to him.

"Prince, thank the princess for me." Hong Xiaoduo said simply, but in her heart she was thinking about what she should give as a suitable return gift.

She is a princess and she is not short of good things. Otherwise, why don’t she go to Mu Rongjing and ask her mother what she likes?

"What are you thanking me for? I'll tell her when I get back that you like these clothes, and she'll be very happy. By the way, what's wrong with you?" Mu Rongjing brought the subject back. He really wanted to know.

Hong Xiaoduo told him what had happened, and then went to the inner room to change into another set of clothes.

"Does your mother speak foreign languages?" After seeing Hua also follow into the inner room, Mu Rongjing asked Kaiyang in a low voice.

Kaiyang nodded and wanted to say that his mother knew foreign languages ​​and had taught the seven of them.

But after thinking about it, I didn't know what level I had learned so far, and I didn't dare to tell the prince that I could do it too.

Hua came out and took out the clothes that Hong Xiaoduo had worn from the clothes that Mu Rongjing brought.

Of the three sets of robes that Lord Wei brought back, only one fit him, but that was enough. Given the current temperature, if you don't do any physical work, you won't sweat much, so it's no problem to wear one set of robes for a few days.

Hong Xiaoduo changed into her own clothes, including loose bloomers, and felt that she could move freely. After she came out of the inner room, she felt that Mu Rongjing looked at her with a strange look.

"What? Prince, do you still think that skirts are suitable for me?" Hong Xiaoduo asked jokingly.

Mu Rongjing shook his head and smiled, "No, I just didn't expect you to be so secretive and actually know foreign languages."

"You didn't expect that, did you? Hahaha. Prince, if you ever go abroad, take me with you. I'll be your interpreter for free." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile as she hung the whip and sword on the table around her waist.

She has become accustomed to carrying it with her. The whip is actually also for precaution. The capital is under the feet of the emperor, and she does not believe that it is the safest place. As for the sword, she will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary. However, when she thinks that it is worth five thousand taels of gold, she must carry it with her.

It’s not that she doesn’t trust the people in Wei Mansion and Fu’an Marquis Mansion, but she always feels that she is the kind of person who may leave at any time if encountering an emergency.

Now when she goes out, she must bring three pieces of equipment: a purse, a whip, and an ancient sword. She feels like she is almost developing obsessive-compulsive disorder in this regard.

"Xiao Duo, there is no outsider here. Tell me the truth. What price did you ask for from that person when you helped the Ministry of Rites this time?" Mu Rongjing suddenly thought of a question and asked curiously.

When Hong Xiaoduo heard this, she looked at him in confusion and asked, "Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money in your eyes?"

Ahem. "It's not that you're greedy for money, it just feels like you're deliberately ripping off the rich. But, tell me, who else among you thinks this way besides me?" Mu Rongjing said this, still a little worried that she would be angry if he said that.

"My grandfather." Kaiyang said from the side.

Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said, "You can see all this. You also said that he is a big investor. What's wrong with me taking some money from him?"

Mu Rongjing gave her a thumbs up and said, "So, how much gold did you get this time?"

"No, I really don't this time. This time it's for the reputation of our Fengliang country, how can I ask for any reward. Of course, it would be embarrassing if he gives me some reward later to show his appreciation!" Hong Xiaoduo said frankly.

Her words made everyone in the room laugh. The two adults, Hua Shi and Mu Rongjing, didn't think she was being rebellious at all. Kaiyang covered her mouth with her hands and laughed.

Although she knew the whole story and knew that Hong Xiaoduo was not staying in the capital but working in the Ministry of Rites, Mu Rongjing was a little disappointed. However, she thought that the foreign delegation would not leave in a day or two, and the interpreter's throat would not get better all of a sudden. At least she could stay in the capital for a few more days, which was better than leaving tomorrow.

Mu Rongjing was certain that Hong Xiaoduo was not someone who would stay in the capital, and she probably wasn't worried about Tianshu and the other six children!
After delivering the official robes to the Ministry of Rites, Lord Wei returned to his own Ministry of Personnel to handle some government affairs. Just as he was about to enter the gate of the Ministry of Personnel, a clerk saw him and trotted over: "Sir, Prime Minister Dong is inside, and he came to look for you."

"Why did he come to see me?" Lord Wei muttered, then suddenly stopped, and he could roughly guess the man's purpose.

In all likelihood, she came for Xiaoduo, not for her adopted grandson. After all, she was the one who helped Dong Xiang's youngest son get out of prison. In other words, she was also the benefactor of Dong Xiang's family.

With a prepared mind, Lord Wei walked into the gate and watched from a distance as Prime Minister Dong looked up at a painting on the wall, while his subordinates were all doing their work carefully...
