Xiao Ding did not sleep in the palace's bedroom at night, but went to the underground secret room, where there was also a bed and guards to help him get up at night.

More importantly, he has to plan for the future.

Today's peaceful and prosperous age is the result of his countless generals being shrouded in Shima leather, so he can no longer be called a coward.

Now Emperor Yan is in his twilight years, the prince has a weak character, and all the princes and grandsons are coveting the throne.

It would be best if the poison in his body could be cured. If he died prematurely without treatment, he would need to plan ahead for who would be responsible for protecting the people of the Yan Kingdom in the future.

There were more than a dozen secret reports on the desk, and he read them one by one and approved them.

I didn't stop until the third watch.

Like Ning Luo, Xiao Ding also recalled the scenes in the bathroom.

Mind swaying.

Although she was his concubine, the day of her wedding was recorded on Yanguo's jade plate. Even if she only wanted to be a subordinate, she could not change her status as his official wife.

She is his legitimate princess.

I like it too.

Although she intentionally distances herself, doesn't she allow herself to experience the love of husband and wife in her limited life?

Thinking of this, Xiao Ding became more determined to tie this woman down.

I don't want her to be just a loyal subordinate.

Early the next morning, Li Sanniang delivered a sumptuous breakfast.

Qi Hu currently only needs to take care of two horses, so he is very free. Early in the morning, he volunteered to work as a guard and guard in front of the palace gate.

Seeing Li Sanniang walking straight to Prince Zhan's Mansion carrying two food boxes, she stood up straight vigilantly.

He coughed heavily: "This is the palace of Prince Zhan, and no one else is allowed to enter."

Li Sanniang was also a little surprised when she saw a strange strong man holding the door.

"Who are you?"

Qi Hu introduced himself: "I am the groom hired by Princess Zhan. My name is Qi Hu. Who are you and why do you come to Prince Zhan's Mansion?"

"I work in Zuixian Pavilion. Princess Zhan asked me to deliver three meals a day to Prince Zhan's Mansion every day." Li Sanniang said.

It turned out to be from Zuixian Pavilion.

It's just that Qi Hu hadn't seen Li Sanniang yesterday, so he said worriedly: "Bring it to me to check first. Don't ask anyone to send poisonous food."

Li Sanniang was annoyed: "Why are the ingredients in our Zuixian Pavilion poisonous? Why don't you go find out? This is... the restaurant designated by Princess Zhan to deliver food."

Thinking of Princess Zhan's explanation, she couldn't directly say that the owner of Zuixian Pavilion was Princess Zhan.

"So that's it. Please allow me to report to the princess before you come in again." Qi Hu was still a little cautious.

But Li Sanniang didn't want to let him see it: "This food has become cold since I opened it."

The two were in a stalemate, and Ning Luo had already heard the sound and walked out from the Chuihua Gate.

"What happen to you guys?"

"Princess, this sister-in-law said that Zuixian Pavilion delivers food to the palace. I want to check whether the food is safe, but she refuses."

Ning Luo confirmed: "This Li Sanniang is indeed working in Zuixian Pavilion and is responsible for delivering food to the palace. Please let her in."

"Hey, okay." Qi Hu cupped his fists and apologized: "There was a misunderstanding just now, please forgive me, sister-in-law."

Li Sanniang returned the favor and smiled slightly: "It's okay, just get familiar with it."

Seeing that they all understand etiquette, Ning Luo's praise increased a bit.

Taking the food box from Li Sanniang, he took out a plate of steamed buns and side dishes and gave it to Qi Hu: "This is your breakfast, take it and eat it."

"The palace is not planning to hire a cook now. In the future, you can go to the market to buy rice and vegetables to cook on your own."

Ning Luo said and took out a piece of ten taels of silver from the purse at his waist and handed it to him, "These are for you to buy firewood."

"Hey, okay, thank you, Princess."

Qi Hu accepted it respectfully. He didn't expect this princess to be so approachable. He didn't expect that he would get such a good job by accident. It was really his luck.

Ning Luo took Li Sanniang to the second courtyard and asked her as they walked: "Sanniang, do you know any embroiderers who are good at sewing? I want to recruit a few hard-working and willing embroiderers, regardless of their background."

"Going back to your Majesty, I know a few common people girls." Li Sanniang said: "But they all come from ordinary families. I don't know if they can catch the eye of the princess."

"In craft work, regardless of family background, good conduct is the most important thing." Ning Luo ordered: "Let's do this, when you go back, inform those reliable embroiderers and ask them to take the screening test at Yunshang Pavilion on East Street tomorrow. This princess selects the best candidates for admission.”

"Then Yunshang Pavilion is also the princess's property?" Li Sanniang asked in surprise.

"Yes, I won't transfer you to Yunshang Pavilion for now, because I still need you to look after Zuixian Pavilion for a while."

"It can also train your ability to manage big things in the future. If you make a profit at the end of the year, you can also get a large sum of money."

Ning Luo emphasized again, "I am cultivating you for the sake of your brother."

"It's quite hard for your brother to work in the palace. If you can stand up, you will be able to take care of him when he gets old in the future, right?"

Ning Luo said this because she also wanted to test whether Eunuch Li's sister was a white-eyed wolf. If she was ungrateful, she would abandon her in the future.

For people like Eunuch Li who have no offspring, they will be released from the palace when they are in their fifties or sixties and will no longer be able to work, and will have to rely on their families.

If this sister is heartless, Eunuch Li will be miserable in his later years.

Fortunately, Li Sanniang felt guilty when she mentioned her brother who was a eunuch: "Thank you, Princess, for reminding me that my useless sister always brings trouble to my brother. In recent years, if my brother hadn't helped me, our whole family wouldn't have been able to survive."

"I will work hard and save enough money to support my brother in his old age."

Ning Luo nodded, feeling quite relieved.

When employing people, character always comes first.

After delivering breakfast, Li Sanniang immediately went to the neighborhood to find a few familiar embroiderers and told them that Yunshang Pavilion was looking for embroiderers.

When those embroiderers from poor families heard that they had the opportunity to work in Yunshang Pavilion, they naturally did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so they all went straight to Yunshang Pavilion with needles and threads and good embroidery patterns in the past.

Ning Luo laid out the food, and Xiao Ding came out in his wheelchair.

"My lord, you have some dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep last night? Is the cold in your feet getting worse?" Ning Luo knew the cause of the disease with a doctor's instinct.

"There are some." Xiao Ding said lightly.

Ning Luo took his pulse and diagnosed it. His pulse condition was better than yesterday.

It’s weird.

"The prince's pulse condition has not changed."

"You slept peacefully." Xiao Ding glanced at Ning Luo dissatisfied.

He couldn't sleep because of his lovesickness, and when he encountered her heartlessness, he felt that he was greatly at a loss.
