On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"How many years have you been driving a carriage?"

Xiao Ding asked lightly, while also examining this person.

It is really not appropriate to let Ning Luo drive a carriage in public for a long time, and his own black-armored secret guards can easily be detected by the emperor's spies if they are used openly.

Therefore, when hiring a coachman to stay in the palace this time, it is necessary to check it personally.

"Back to the prince, Cao Min was a cavalryman before, but he has never driven a carriage. However, on the way here just now, the princess taught Cao Min some tricks to drive a chariot, and he was able to do it smoothly. After familiarity with it a few times, he should be able to drive a carriage with ease." Qi Hu said truthfully.

"Do you have any other skills?"

Xiao Ding looked at the broadsword hanging on Qi Hu's waist.

"There is a set of sword skills passed down from family."

"Show it to me."

"Yes."

Qi Hu stood up, took a deep breath, and pulled out a big knife from his waist.

Ning Luo's eyes lit up. The scabbard of Qi Hu's sword was the same as that of other bodyguards, but the blade was extremely sharp and was made of black iron.

Maybe my ancestors were still quite wealthy, but it just declined over the generations.

In the smooth and smooth display of swordsmanship, Qi Hu recreated the heroic and courageous spirit on the battlefield.

After he put away the knife, Xiao Ding gave a rare nod.

Ning Luo clapped his hands unconsciously, "Good sword skills."

Qi Hu's martial arts skills are obviously better than other bodyguards.

If you have good conduct, you can be worthy of a big job.

"Which one is more powerful, you or Mr. Wu?"

Ning Luo's words were not only a question of Kungfu, but also a test of character, to see if Qi Hu would get carried away and slander his brother.

Fortunately, Qi Hu is an upright person.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wu's skills as a bodyguard are much better than mine."

Thinking that Wu Chuan had taken the risk to sue the officials, Qi Hu knelt down again and begged the King of War:

"Your Majesty, our magistrate Zhang of Qi County has been plundering the people's wealth for several years, so that the people are in dire straits. He even squandered the money allocated by the court for disaster relief this year. Please help the people of Qi County make the decision and get rid of this corrupt official..."

To Qi Hu's surprise, when Xiao Ding waited for him to finish speaking, his expression was calm and his tone was cold.

"I am not a civil servant. I am currently idle at home. This kind of case will be investigated and handled by civil servants."

Only then did Qi Hu realize that the King of War was in a wheelchair.

Now... I'm afraid I can't help myself, and I feel sad.

"It was the villain who was rash."

Xiao Ding waved his hand: "Step back and go to the stable to familiarize yourself with your work. From now on, you are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard without an order."

"Yes."

Qi Hu bowed and retreated.

After he left, Ning Luo asked: "Your Majesty, is this person available?"

"Everyone has been invited to the house before you ask?"

Xiao Ding looked unhappy.

This woman has so many ideas.

Ning Luo chuckled.

"Didn't the prince say before that I should make the decision on small things, so I hired a dozen bodyguards to look after the family and the courtyard in Ning Mansion, and only brought this one to the prince's manor to be the coachman."

"I didn't have time to discuss it with the prince first. It was an emergency. They came to Kyoto as escorts. If I didn't make a decision early, they would have returned home."

"These people are all from the military. They have good martial arts and good conduct. Most importantly, they are all foreigners. They don't worry about being bribed by others."

Seeing her flattering smile, Xiao Ding couldn't punish her and turned to the flower hall in his wheelchair.

"Please prepare food for me."

"Have you not had lunch yet, Your Majesty?"

Ning Luo was a little surprised and followed behind.

"How can I eat when there's no one serving me?" Xiao Ding said angrily.

It turns out he was hungry, no wonder he was so grumpy.

Ning Luo curled her lips: "How about inviting some maids to serve the prince?"

"You dare to be lazy, or I will strip you of your skin and light the sky lantern!" Xiao Ding said sternly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Ning Luo promised hurriedly.

It seems that he does not want to add any more members to the palace.

Oh, I can only take care of him myself.

This man is really hard to take care of.

Ning Luo lamented secretly and did not dare to strike.

Fortunately, the weather is hot now and the food has not cooled down in the food box.

Ning Luo not only had a good temper to serve the King of War, but also painted pie for him.

"In a few days, I will teach the chef how to make some new dishes that are not available in Kyoto. I will make sure that the prince will not get tired of them."

Xiao Ding snorted coldly when he was so proud that he spilled the beans.

"That's such a big statement. How much money do you pay for food in Zuixian Pavilion every day?"

"No more, no less. Each meal costs about two taels of silver."

"Why should the cook listen to you?"

"Because...because I am Princess Zhan, I never pay for food on credit."

The corners of Xiao Ding's lips curled up slightly and he said no more.

Ning Luo noticed that he seemed to know that he had bought a wine shop and quickly changed the subject.

"Well, Your Majesty, it's time for my Yunshang Pavilion to reopen. Tomorrow I have to find some embroiderers to work in the shop. From now on, if the business of Yunshang Pavilion is prosperous, we can earn money every day... …”

"That's right, but you must come back to serve the dishes while I am eating." Xiao Ding specifically warned: "No delay, and no staying out overnight."

"Yes..." Ning Luo happily responded: "My lord, try this dish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, it's delicious..."

As long as the King of War does not hinder her career, these small requirements can still be met.
