Chapter 279: stabilize first

Chapter 279 Stabilize first

Su Ying walked to Xiao Jin's side, and walked on the long bluestone avenue of the palace, the vermilion palace walls were solemn and depressing.

Su Ying didn't like this feeling, and frowned subconsciously.

Sensing her emotions, Xiao Jin gently held her hand.

The moment Su Ying felt the warmth of his palm, Su Ying's anxiety was suppressed.

Emperor Kangze was waiting for them in the side hall.

When a few people arrived, the servant immediately entered the hall to deliver a message, and after a while, the servant's shrill voice could be heard.

"The emperor invites you into the palace."

The side hall is not big, as soon as Su Ying entered, he saw Emperor Kang Ze sitting on the dragon chair.

He was dressed in a purple-gold dragon robe, and he was very thin. His brows and eyes were cold and gloomy, and his eagle-like sharp eyes seemed to be always full of suspicion and oppression, which made people very unhappy.

At least Su Ying doesn't like being scrutinized by such eyes, as if evaluating a commodity of how much it is worth.

Emperor Kang Ze looked at Xiao Jin who walked in with a complicated expression.

This should be his proud son, but his rebelliousness makes him dissatisfied. A capable but rebellious child always makes him feel difficult to control.

So he really loves and hates Xiao Jin.

While thinking about it, Xiao Jin and the others had already arrived. After saluting, Emperor Kang Ze remained silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Emperor Kang Ze let out a deep breath, like an old father's sigh, and personally stepped forward to help Xiao Jin up.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xiao Jin stood up, his eyes filled with emotion, "It is my honor to be able to serve my father."

Su Ying's eyelids twitched. Seeing the expression of emotion on the father and son's faces, I have to say that this is all acting.

Emperor Kang Ze patted him on the shoulder before looking at Su Ying.

At the moment when he met Su Ying, Emperor Kang Ze was stunned.

If it wasn't for the same appearance, he could hardly bear the woman in front of him. Is this his shameless, mean and stupid daughter-in-law?

Su Ying is not afraid of Emperor Kang Ze's scrutiny at all. The emperor's air is indeed intimidating to ordinary people, but she is not ordinary people.

"You all come back after a long journey, go back and have a good rest. As for the previous case, I have asked the Minister of Criminal Affairs to review it again. When the time comes, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your palace, I have already had someone clean it up, and the servants have also arranged for you. Three days later, I will hold a celebration banquet in the palace. Go back."

"Yes, I will retire."

Su Ying and Xiao Jin left the palace, Su Ying wondered for a moment what it meant to be wrong with Emperor Kang Ze.

"You know what he's thinking?"

Xiao Jin came back to his senses, "We just came back, so naturally we have to stabilize first." After all, the Tiger Talisman is still in his hand.

Xiao Jin held her hand, "Go back to the palace first."

"kindness."

Prince Qi's Mansion is located in the most prosperous corner of Huangcheng Avenue, covering a large area.

Before they came back, Emperor Kang Ze had asked people to send back the things confiscated during the house raid to Prince Qi's Mansion, and the seals were also removed.

As soon as Su Ying and the others arrived outside the palace, a man who looked like a butler came up with a group of servants.

When the Qi Palace was raided, not to mention individuals in the palace, even a chicken was captured, so these people were arranged by Emperor Kang Ze.

The carriage stopped outside Prince Qi's mansion. As soon as Su Ying and the others got off, everyone knelt down in front of them.

"The slaves welcome King Qi, and the princess returns home."

Xiao Jin glanced lightly at them and asked them to stand up.

"Slave Wei Xi, temporarily manage the general affairs inside and outside the palace for the prince. The palace has been cleaned up. The prince and the princess are exhausted. Please go back to the mansion to rest." Wei Xi bowed and stepped aside.

Xiao Jin stood outside the door, the two stone lions outside the Qi Palace were as tall and upright as before, and the three big characters of Qi Palace on the black background and red gold outside the door were still bright.

Xiao Jin clenched his fists in his sleeves, and immediately walked in with the two children in his arms.

Prince Qi's Mansion not only looks huge from the outside, but the area inside is much larger than it looks.

Walking on the path paved with bluestones in the palace, Su Ying felt that the temperament of this palace was very similar to that of Xiao Jin. It was cold, maybe it was too big, or maybe it was because no one lived in it for too long. There was a dense chill.

Passing around several small gardens that had become desolate, they finally arrived at the main hall of the front yard.

"The servants in the courtyard where the prince and the princess lived have already been cleaned up. The prince and the princess will see if there is anything missing, and the slaves will be prepared immediately."

"kindness."

After Wei Xi explained the situation in the palace, he got acquainted and withdrew.

It’s just that the yard is full of new faces, and it always feels like countless cameras are watching everything.

"You all stand down, don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future." Su Ying looked at the maids and said.

The maidservants looked at each other, but did not leave immediately. They all knew that Su Ying was not their real master.

Su Ying frowned slightly, but Mother Zhao pressed Su Ying's shoulders and said: "Princess, let the old slave take care of this matter, some slaves are nothing more, and the princess is not worthy of anger."

In the past year, Mother Zhao has been in charge of the internal affairs of the palace in the city of Tiankui, and she has done everything, so Su Ying didn't say anything.

Mother Zhao came to those maidservants, raised her brows and eyes, and her aura came out.

"Who did you find without long ears? Those who work in the Prince Qi's mansion don't like those with incomplete facial features. If you can't take up the job, just get out of here immediately."

The maids were a little scared when they heard the words, and they didn't know what would happen if they were really driven away. After repeatedly asking for mercy, they retreated honestly.

When Mother Zhao turned her head, she got a positive look from Su Ying, and Mother Zhao became more confident.

"Are you hungry?" Xiao Jin asked the two children. They did not bring any children into the palace, and Emperor Kang Ze didn't ask any more questions. This attitude couldn't be more obvious. Obviously, he didn't take these two grandchildren seriously. .

Dabao nodded, "I'm a little hungry."

"I want to eat the egg noodles made by Grandpa He." Er Bao didn't look energetic either.

From the moment they returned to the palace, the two little guys were listless and looked pitiful.

He Shouyi has already taken people to the big kitchen of the palace. Su Ying and the others will never rest assured of other people's hands on what Su Ying and the others want to eat.

When he came back this time, Xiao Jin had left behind many of his cronies. He Shouyi brought two of them to the big kitchen, but the big kitchen was already busy in full swing.

Wei Xi was standing at the door of the big kitchen, talking to a fat cook. According to his visual inspection, this person should be the steward of the big kitchen.

"Don't worry, Eunuch Wei, I know what to do." The steward nodded and bowed in response. If it wasn't for Wei Xi, he wouldn't be able to follow him to the Qi Palace to be the steward. Naturally, he should be favored.

Seeing this, He Shouyi walked over directly, "Eunuch Wei."

Wei Xi turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at He Shouyi with narrowed eyes. He remembered that He Shouyi followed Xiao Jin and the others into the mansion.

"Who is this…"

"Hey old man, he is the cook who is responsible for the meals of the prince and princess. Now that he returns to the palace, this rule remains unchanged. From now on, the cook in the big kitchen will just take care of others, and the masters will be handed over to me."

Wei Xi is the housekeeper sent by Emperor Kangze himself, and now he arranges all the general affairs of the palace, so no one is allowed to challenge his consolation.

He has a smile on his face, but it's just a fake smile.

"Old Man He? Where did you come from as a cook? Do you know the rules of the royal family's meals? Do you know how many dishes the nobles eat every day? Before the prince and princess were out, it was just a matter of ordering. How can some wild cooks control it? In case the master eats something wrong, can you afford it?"
