After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Chunfen a few more times.

You know, as a subject, he shouldn't have overstepped his authority over the maidservant serving the eldest princess.

It’s just that as the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, because of the need to solve cases, he knows more about various major and minor events happening in the capital than ordinary people.

He just happened to know that just last month, a maid from the Princess's Mansion got married to a fifth-rank military officer.

The wedding was not big, but it was very lively.

How many weddings and funerals take place in the capital every day?

If it weren't for her special identity, Dai Zhilong would not have heard about it.

Coincidentally, he also learned from the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture that the maid's father was a compulsive gambler and was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture Prison by his own son-in-law.

After going there and back again, I counted on my fingers that I had been to prison three times.

It was such a strange thing that a son-in-law sent his father-in-law to prison. If Hu Yanjin was not of Hu descent, he would have been drowned in people's spit.

Even if the father is not kind, his children cannot be unfilial.

Not to mention being sent to jail?

The prefect told him this as a funny story, but he heard something different.

No matter how unruly Hu Yanjin was, he was still a military officer in the court.

There was only some gossip among the people about this matter, accusing the couple of being unfilial, but no one impeached him or criticized him for his lack of moral character.

Obviously, someone is backing him up.

Even if she wasn't the eldest princess, she must have known about this and had tacit consent.

Therefore, Dai Zhilong formed a vague impression in his mind: the eldest princess treats her servants very well and is very protective of them.

Not to mention anything else, how many people did the eldest princess offend in one breath last year in order to vent the anger of His Highness Chunning?

There was no sign of retreating at all.

Thinking of this, he began to chat with Chunfen.

Ask her if there are any other people in her family, how many years she has lived in the mansion, and other such trivial questions that will not offend the other party.

He has been a criminal judge all his life, and interrogation is his specialty.

Being asked so carefully and gently with a smile, Chunfen was a little overwhelmed.

I don't want to answer, but I can't help but answer.

Just as he was feeling embarrassed, a greeting voice came from outside the hall: "Greetings, Third Young Master."

Chunfen felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly apologized to Dai Zhilong and went out to greet him: "Why is the Third Young Master here? What's the matter?"

In the afternoon, the children do not have to attend classes together in Zhufeng Courtyard, as they each have their own schedule.

Normally, Yan Shiyan stayed in the school and rarely came out.

Yan Shiyan has a cold and reserved personality, but he is always gentle towards the maids in front of his mother.

"Hello, Sister Chunfen. I want to find a clay pan, but the kitchen said they don't have any in stock, so I came to ask if you have any."

The ceramic griddle is similar to the modern pan or electric griddle used for making pancakes, and is a kind of outdoor equipment used for outings.

After hearing the news of the outing from his elder brother, Yan Shiyan could not contain his excitement and quietly started to prepare.

Knowing that his mother liked to prepare new and exotic foods, he wanted to practice his cooking skills in advance so that when they went on an outing, everyone could sit together and make pancakes or fry meat.

He really likes the atmosphere of family gathering together to eat, which is much better than reciting poems or composing couplets.

Yan Shiyan has always been a person who makes a plan and executes it step by step whenever he wants to do something.

Having trouble?

It’s okay, just get over it.

It’s just a pottery pan, how can you not find it?

Among the maids of the four seasons, Chunfen is the one who runs around the most. She knows everything in the mansion best, so she appears here.

It just so happened that Chunfen had been discouraged by Dai Zhilong's questioning, and considering that the other party was a guest of the mansion and had to be treated with courtesy, he was relieved when Yan Shiyan asked him to do so.

It’s not that I don’t want to entertain you, it’s that the young master from my house came to see you.

"Third Young Master, please wait a moment. There is a guest in the mansion. I will go and tell him first."

Yan Shiyan naturally knew that there were guests at the mansion.

When he was asking where the Spring Equinox was, he learned that a man named Dai from the Dali Temple had arrived.

Unlike Chunfen, Yan Shiyan was very interested in this Dali Temple Minister.

Dai Zhilong, a legendary figure who is said to be "keen on the smallest details and able to solve cases like a god", has long been a household name.

Among the people, there are even scripts and plays about his solving cases, which are Yan Shiyan's favorite.

He didn't want to miss this chance to see the real person.

Yan Shiyan's beautiful young phoenix eyes sparkled brightly, and his voice was brisk and pleasant: "Is this Master Dai? I would like to pay my respects to you. I wonder if it is convenient."

Chunfen was a little hesitant.

According to etiquette, the young masters of the Princess's mansion have all arrived outside the flower hall, so it is indeed necessary to pay them a visit.

Otherwise it would be disrespectful.

But Yan Shiyan has a special identity after all.

Even though the eldest princess now treats the five children as her own, it is not her turn to make the decision.

So far, except for Yan Jinyin, the master has not taken any boys out of the house to make friends.

The girl and the young master are fundamentally different.

As a servant, she had no idea of ​​her master's thoughts and plans.

But the child in front of me is Yan Shiyan!

He is the most sensitive and also the least emotional child. It is rare to see him express his love, let alone such a high level of interest.

During the Spring Equinox, I secretly groaned in my heart.

What happened today? Why did she always run into trouble?

Chunfen's hesitation lasted only a moment, but Yan Shiyan was so sharp that he understood it immediately.

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed until it disappeared, and a distant smile appeared on his lips: "I understand, no need to bother Sister Chunfen."

It's because life is so good that I forget that I am not my mother's biological child.

Lost one's sense of proportion.

He is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.

"Third, Third Young Master!"

Chunfen always thought he was smart, but now he lost his ability to organize language.

Just as Yan Shiyan turned around and wanted to leave, a smiling voice came from behind him: "Brother Yan?"

Yan Shiyan turned around, and his eyes instantly became clear.

In his eyes, everyone was surrounding his mother, who had changed into the court dress of a princess and was walking towards him slowly.

The court dress was solemn in style, not as comfortable as her daily clothes, nor as gorgeous and noble as her formal dress, but it gave people a sense of superiority and deterrence.

But Qin Yaoguang had a smile on her face, and there was kindness in her eyes as she looked at him.

The bitterness in Yan Shiyan's heart immediately disappeared.

"master."

Chunfen breathed a sigh of relief, hurried forward to greet him, and told him what had just happened with a smile.

Qin Yaoguang was far away just now, so she didn't see Yan Shiyan's gloomy expression, nor did she think about anything else.

When she heard that he was going to prepare a pottery pan for an outing, she smiled and praised him, "Mother knows that Brother Yan is the most thoughtful. I'll give you a recipe later, and you can try to make crispy potatoes."

She had been craving for crispy pot potatoes for a long time.

But she had never expected that the life of an ancient noble lady, who was originally rich and leisurely, would become so exciting.

How can I have time to prepare delicious food?

Now that your children are filial, why not seize the opportunity to get some benefits for yourself?

As they were talking, Dai Zhilong in the flower hall heard the noise and came out. He saw Yan Shiyan at a glance and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a handsome child!"
