After everything last night, Bai Zhi became even more indifferent to Meng Ying.

Later, they no longer even went to live in the distant world, and the affairs of the palace began to be communicated through letters.

It's just that Shiqi and Lihua are suffering, working as errand boys every day.

After Tang Dashu and his daughter regained consciousness, they recovered well under the care of Dr. Gu.

Tang Dashu revealed many details about the man in black, which were quite different from what he had speculated before.

Then Bai Zhi began her journey of teaching Tang Dashu cooking skills.

Although famous chefs from all over the world are invited to compete in the King of Chef Competition, there must be someone of their own to profit from it.

Tang Dashu is a farmer, and cooking is one of his basic skills. He has a strong body, good skills with his hands, and good control over the knife and fire.

In addition, the palace gave him and his daughter a place to stay, and someone actually taught him cooking skills. It was such a good thing that this was a pie in the sky, and it would make him wake up laughing even when he fell asleep. So I studied harder.

Most of the cooks that Bai Zhi hired before were easy to get along with, and they often worked on new dishes together, which was a feast for the palace's servants.

In addition, the cleaning of the Colosseum has been completed, and the next step is to set up a stage, invite famous diners to participate, and then use the reputation of the diners to promote it.

These are all expensive jobs, so naturally only Bai Zhi can do the work of coordinating the money, so Bai Zhi starts to be busy without even touching the ground.

When he was busy, he naturally couldn't care about her and Meng Ying's affairs, and had already forgotten them.

Meng Ying was not having a good time. After that night, she had a dull headache, palpitations, and could not sleep at night.

Then Dr. Gu was invited to see him.

Dr. Gu only glanced at Meng Ying, without checking her pulse at all, and came to a conclusion lightly, "Your Majesty, he is overly worried and angry."

"How to treat it?"

Doctor Gu had a headache after hearing this, "Well, you can drink some herbal tea, or move out and live with the princess."

Meng Ying leaned on the chair, frowning, "Where do you start talking about this? Can this disease be related to women?"

Doctor Gu smiled, "No, it's related to mood. Being depressed can easily lead to illness!"

Meng Ying: "..."

In the end, Meng Ying pestered Dr. Gu and prescribed him an expensive medicine, and then asked Qi Qi to take the prescription to find Bai Zhizhi to get some money.

At night, with the lights flickering, Bai Zhi lay at her desk, sorting out her expenses.

"Are you sick?" Bai Zhi raised her eyes and met Qi Qi's excited eyes.

Seventeen nodded vigorously.

"Oh, but don't all the prince's money belong to me?! He can't afford even this little medicine!"

Bai Zhi saw Shi Qi's Xiao Jiujiu. Every time he wanted to express himself in front of the prince, he had this expression.

"My lord, he spent it all! He really has no money!" Shi Qi became anxious.

"Then tell me, where did he use it?"

Seventeen hesitated for a long time and couldn't come up with a complete reason.

In the end, Shi Qi received a crumpled reply and returned to Yuanchenju in despair.

Meng Ying was filled with joy and carefully unfolded the paper ball. There were four big words written on it, "It's shameful to cheat money!"

He ran his fingers over the four big characters. The characters were not from this era, but they still made people understand their meaning. There were no sharp edges between the characters, and they were round and blunt. Although they were not good characters, they made people like them.

Yao remembered that she was like this at the beginning, writing down the plans for the palace on paper, accompanied by cakes, and begging to meet her.

Now it seems that I didn't know how to praise myself at that time.

midnight.

Meng Ying sneaked into Bai Zhi's room quietly and lit sandalwood in the room to calm the nerves and make people feel comfortable.

Bai Zhi was really tired from the past two days, so she slept very soundly and didn't notice anyone sneaking in at all.

She slept soundly because she knew that Meng Ying had placed many secret guards around him recently, so her personal safety was not in danger for the time being.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Meng Ying secretly traced her eyebrows close to her. She seemed to be much rounder than when she first arrived. I felt a little proud in my heart.

A pleasant feeling came over me, and within half a cup of tea, I felt drowsy, so I fell asleep leaning against the bed.

The miracle doctor is indeed a miracle doctor.

Bai Zhi had no dreams all night. She slept until she woke up naturally. When she woke up, there was no one around her.

*

The end of May, the eve of the Queen's birthday.

The queen was the newly canonized queen last year, and she was a member of the Holy Family of Long Chong. Although Bai Zhi didn't want to see Meng Ying, she didn't know anything about what was going on in the palace.

As a last resort, I had to find Meng Ying again.

Meng Ying was delighted that Bai Zhi took the initiative to come to her, but she concealed it very well, making people think that it was no big deal for him to live alone in this far away world these days.

But only he himself knows what strange positions he has been using to sleep these days, causing him to suffer from back pain.

After Bai Zhi finished asking, he just answered briefly: "There is no need to worry about the princess. Just try to talk as little as possible. Sa Lan is here."

"You said it so easily. I don't know any of those people, and I don't know their personalities. If I say something wrong and offend them, wouldn't it be a matter of moving my head!" Bai Zhi turned to Meng Ying. She rolled her eyes and strongly disagreed with what he said.

Meng Ying chuckled, "Okay, Sa Lan will talk to you."

Do you really want to talk about it? This isn't like him! Bai Zhi was suspicious.

"Actually, it's very simple. There are only three groups of people. One group is the people who protect you, the other group is the people who harm you, and the third group is the people watching the show."

This explanation sounded very clear and clear. Bai Zhi nodded unconsciously, "Then what?"

"Apart from greetings, no matter who you are talking to, just tell insignificant lies."

"Ah? Then why are there three groups of people?"

"Salan may not be able to be with you all the time at the Queen's birthday banquet. Whenever you go to any occasion, try to find someone who will protect you. They will help you take care of everything."

"Who are the people in these three groups?" Bai Zhi picked up the pen and prepared to take notes seriously.

Meng Ying pressed down Bai Zhi's hand holding the pen. The smile on her face lost its warmth and looked a little cold.

He said, "Princess, just remember that your father, the emperor, and the queen will protect you. Don't trust anyone else."

Bai Zhi, "So miserable?"

Meng Ying laughed at herself and murmured: "No. Fortunately, they are powerful."

"Then what should I do if they are not here?"

Bai Zhi's energy has become weak. It seems that the prince's situation is very bad!

"Just make a fuss! If you make a big fuss, then ask your father and the queen to make the decision."

"Remember, in the inner courtyard of the palace, intelligence is useless. Finding allies is the solution." Meng Ying carefully explained to Bai Zhi.

"Why is intelligence useless?" Bai Zhi was dissatisfied.

Meng Ying frowned and thought for a while, wondering how to explain it so that she could better understand, "Well, for example, if you praise the Queen's hairpin today, there will definitely be people with bad intentions who will ask you if you like it. like."

"If only one person asks, then it's just perfunctory. If there are many people asking, and everyone is waiting for your answer, then you have to answer."

"If you say you don't like it, then your praise of the Queen is false. If you say you like it, the Queen will be embarrassed, and those with bad intentions will build momentum and target the Queen."

"At that time, it was so dark that it could be said to be white. Even if I don't stumble you here, I will be waiting for you somewhere else."

"To put it simply, you can achieve things only if someone builds momentum for you. If no one stands behind you, no matter how right you are, you will be overwhelmed by their momentum."

Bai Zhi stiffened when she heard this, "So scary?"

Meng Ying nodded, "That's it."
