The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

In recent days, the East Palace has been sending some snacks over every three days, Chu Ran is used to it, and was trying to coax Liar Lu to eat some, when he saw that the account books in Lu Shi's hand happened to belong to the hot springs.

She wanted to take another look, but Lu Shi inadvertently covered it with a book, "Lu Xiang, what are you hiding?" He took away the book that was blocking it, and there were a few destroyed IOUs on it, all of which had names and surnames. Think about it for a while It seems to be the children of those aristocratic families who entered the palace a few days ago.

"I only think that Xiang Lu beat Huo Qi with some ingenious plan. I don't want to rely on the business in the hot spring, tsk tsk tsk... I really overestimated Lu Xiang."

The hot springs were unable to make ends meet, and part of the reason was that the dandies owed their bills after playing around. The Zhao family would not dare to fight with the officials. They could only pinch their noses and keep quiet. Lu Xiang would definitely get it back after he took over.

Lu Shi didn't answer, it was a tacit consent, Chu Ran asked curiously: "How much money did you recover?"

"There are tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there are several 10 taels of silver in the account. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it back for a while." Lu Shi said frankly.

"Aren't you going to score some points from me? You don't have so much money to give to Northwest." Chu Ran fed her the snacks in his hand directly, flipping through these old accounts, "It's not difficult to ask for money, as long as you are not afraid of offending others." , come to the door to ask for it, and I will definitely get it back."

The aristocratic family loves face, and if the debt collector wants to come to the door, he will definitely get rid of it with money. Lu Shi will definitely dare to do something that the Zhao family dare not do.

Lu Shi has many capable people in his hands. After taking over, he put together all the old debts owed on credit, and ordered people to follow up the debts to make up for the shortfalls owed before.

"Your Highness, it's useless to bother about these things." Lu Shi directly took back the account, not allowing Chu Ran to look at it again, the little thing fell into the eyes of the money, and the northwest was like a hole, turning a princess into a person who 'sees money' Little miser.

"Lu Xiang, the hot spring is mine." Chu Ran was not reconciled.

"Whatever your Highness lacks, go to the cashier to get it."

"How many taels are there in the cashier?"

"That's not there."

"fraud."

In a fit of anger, Chu Ran left with a snack and left the bedroom with someone. Just when Zhao Gu Ning wanted to come to see her, she turned her head to look at Lu Shi: "Leave him in the flower hall, and I will change my clothes and go."

She went back and forth, changed into a beautiful dress, and was stopped before she crossed the threshold, "Your Highness earns money in the name of a minister, but has he ever given a little to the minister?"

Seeing this, the maids in the corridor retreated one after another, and even did not forget to close the door. Chu Ran was so angry that she sneered, "Prince Lu is very well behaved."

"Your Highness has good rules." Lu Shi looked at her coldly, and pinched her earlobe when the maid was not around, "Your Highness wants the rumors to come true?"

"Is Lu Xiang jealous?" Chu Ran's eyes lit up, and he gathered his momentum out of nowhere, and looked at the awkward person with a smile, "If Lu Xiang gives me the money, I won't go to see her, how about it?"

I remember the money in my mind, and I refuse to take any losses.

Lu Shi restrained his smile and refused to admit it: "Your Highness is thinking too much."

"Forget it, I'm going to see Zhao Gu Ning." Chu Ran made a gesture to open the door, moved her body, and clasped the hand around her waist even tighter, restraining her from moving, "If you don't get jealous, let me go .”

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Lu Shi suddenly pulled him closer. After touching the smile in her eyes, he had to look up at her. It was impossible for her to admit it like a normal person.

Lu Shi's domineering temperament reveals a calmness, which seems to be very appropriate. If he meets other people who don't understand her temperament, he will be pushed away long ago.Chu Ran has a carefree temper, especially after being raised in the mansion by Lu Shi, he has become more straightforward, and he does not see the gloomyness in his previous life.

Lu Shi raised her like this, and I don't know whether it is good or bad. For example, in her previous life, she would never cooperate with businessmen, let alone support the Zhao family. The reason for these things is Lu Shi.

Lu Shi's thoughts are chaotic, he can think of everything, past life and present life will always be a bit confused, when she was obsessed with the past, Chu Ran stared at her closely, and put his arm around her shoulder, "What are you thinking, Zhao Gu Ning waiting for me."

Listening to her words, Lu Shifang wanted to say no to go, but he couldn't say it, so he had to let go: "Then you go."

She was duplicity, and Chu Ran always felt that something was wrong, but when Lu Shi encountered these personal matters, people would not be able to see her attitude clearly. She thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "Why don't we go together?"

"Don't go." After Lu Shi turned around and returned to the case, his attitude was worse than before, which made Chu Ran confused. When she turned her head and saw the peach tree under the south window, she bent her lips, and Lu Shi It's jealous to meet each other, but it's just too thin-skinned to say it out loud.

Just be more serious at this time, maybe it will become less reserved at night.

***

Zhao Gu Ning in the flower hall didn't wait long, just after drinking a cup of tea, she saw the princess approaching, she stood up and looked at him, the red pleated skirt flashed in front of her eyes, her slender waist showed off her femininity.

"Why did Miss Zhao come here?" Chu Ran asked first.

"I will return to Jiangnan in a few days, and I am here to say goodbye to His Highness. I would like to thank His Highness for helping me with the matter of the palace silk and satin." Zhao Gu Ning said.

"Hands up."

Zhao Gu Ning was not in the mood for joking today. After looking at Chu Ran's lively eyebrows and eyes, she remembered the rumors outside. Not knowing what His Highness was thinking, she smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, have you heard the rumors outside?"

"I have heard that Huo Li spread the news that His Majesty committed crimes against him. You can relax for a while. I don't know much about business matters, but the loss of two people in the Huo family is also beneficial to your merchants. Since you I'm here, I might as well tell you, Huo Li has a broken leg, will he argue with you for a while?"

Zhao Gu Ning's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, "Your Majesty committed such a crime?"

"Blame him for provoking people who shouldn't be provoked." Chu Ran said casually, remembering that Zhao Gu Ning had not entered the court after all, he couldn't help but say a few words of relief: "This is the relationship between the Princess Mansion and Huo Mansion, and it has nothing to do with your Zhao family. Nothing to do, just be careful when you go back."

Her casual comfort warmed Zhao Gu Ning's heart, and said: "It's strange that Your Highness is relieved, but I have experienced many things, so I will not be afraid. I heard that even the little general is going to get married, and I will not be there when the time comes. present."

Zhao Gu Ning acted thoughtfully, and his etiquette was even more thoughtful, leaving Chu Ran with nothing to say, so he asked someone to accept the gift, and asked Axiu to choose a pair of jade pendants from the storeroom as a gift for her, saying: "When you come back to Yingdu City next time, remember to take it with you. Come over to eat some food from the south."

Zhao Gu Ning remembered the casual words, and took Yu out of the flower hall.

As soon as she left, Chu Ran felt it was a pity, and asked someone to send Zhao's gift to Lian Cheng, and went back to the house to find Lu Shi.

It is safe to support Zhao's family, and in time, they can surpass Huo's family.The Zhao family was originally a master of business, and no one in Beijing was suppressed by the Huo family. Now the situation has changed drastically, cutting off the business of the Huo family can be regarded as cutting off Heng Wang's arm.

She went back to her bedroom full of joy, while Lu Shi was still dealing with official documents, seeing her back, he didn't care, and seemed to be still angry.Chu Ran smiled and thought, how could Lu Xiang have a thin skin at a critical moment.

She walked over and asked in a low voice: "Is the vinegar gone? If not, I'll coax you."

Lu Shi still bowed his head, Chu Ran had no choice but to disturb her to deal with official documents, so she waited on the small couch beside her, and fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. This pain was similar to the poison induced by the sachet last time. She remembered that she hadn't entered the palace to drink tea recently, and it relapsed without antidote?

She didn't dare to get up, and lay down on the couch to rest for a while, thinking that the pain would be enough, but she didn't want the pain to get worse. When Lu Shi stood in front of her eyes, she had to make a gesture and turned over, "I'll sleep for a while, don't you bother me."

"It's almost time to go back to lunch, and it's too late to go back to bed after lunch." Lu Shi thought she was tired, and stretched out his hand to help her up, but when Fang stretched out his hand, someone brushed it away, and she was startled.

Chu Ran turned over and ignored her, pursing the corners of her lips in silence.Lu Shi, who was behind him, turned back from surprise, leaned over and patted her on the shoulder, "Why are you losing your temper when you're so good?"

"It's just sleepy." Chu Ran replied lazily, and as soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed his ear, "Get up, how about going to the hot spring in the afternoon?"

Chu Ran was in so much pain that he didn't want to move, and was so entangled by her that he had no choice but to stand up and look at her: "President Lu is not jealous anymore?"

Her face was pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Lu Shi sensed something was wrong, and touched her forehead with his hand, "What's uncomfortable?"

"It's just a little dizzy, it's okay, I want to lie down again." Chu Ran lied, and was going to send a doctor to come after she left. When she was about to lie down, Lu Shi relentlessly supported her, whispering Said: "The disease is taboo and the doctor is avoided, but the poison has flared up again?"

A few days ago, Axiu talked about the sachet, and she said it with sincerity and fear. Lu Shi realized that something was wrong and didn't alarm Chu Ran, and she was in good health recently, so she didn't care.

"Lu Xiang has become noisy." Chu Ran didn't struggle, but leaned softly in her arms, closed her eyes, and listened to the people around her calling for the doctor. She convulsed in pain, and took Lu Shi's hand to cover it. My lower abdomen, "Rub it, it hurts."

Lu Shi's hand was ice-cold, and Chu Ran trembled when he poked it in. He didn't struggle, but just pressed and rubbed it with that hand, leaning on her weakly.

After the doctor came, he checked all the food. The last time it was caused by foreign objects, this time it was probably because of it. The maid looked around and checked all the food for today.

The prime minister pays the most attention to food, and almost no one dares to intervene at will. Axiu recalled: "Your Highness just drank some white porridge today, and it happened that the East Palace sent some snacks and ate a few pieces, but Lu Xiang also used it. There is nothing wrong with it, and the next thing is to drink tea, the tea is brewed by slaves, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Lu Shi's eyebrows darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Go and check the East Palace's dim sum."

Axiu was surprised, only the dim sum sent by the East Palace would not be interrogated again and again, so she asked someone to fetch the dim sum for the doctor.

Chu Ran on the couch had never heard of this, her ears were buzzing with pain, and she couldn't hear other voices.Lu Shi approached, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, his eyes seemed to be covered with mist. After seeing Chu Ran's forbearance, the mist gradually dissipated, and his eyes gradually became complicated.

She helped Chu Ran up, fed her medicine, looked at her for a long time, and finally put him down gently.After learning from the past, the people in the mansion have been eating carefully, not daring to put incompatible food and spices in the mansion.

Axiu stood on one side, feeling uneasy in her heart, and did not dare to speak casually.

Chu Ran fell into a deep sleep after drinking the medicine. The medicine was very good, at least the stomach pain was no longer so bad. Lu Shi sat on one side and watched her, his eyes were like a still pool, and he did not dare to leave.

After being married for two years, His Highness has spent a lot of time in going from conflicting to relying on her for everything, but now it is not easy to get a compatible situation.

She secretly assisted the prince, but also because His Highness was concerned about everything, the queen had already entrusted her, so she had no choice but to stand by the Prince's side in order to make His Highness feel at ease.

The prince has his own attitude in his actions, although he never made it public, the Empress Dowager Zhou subtly suppressed King Heng, and the relationship with His Royal Highness's siblings is getting weaker and weaker, so it shouldn't be to the point of killing each other.

There are medicinal herbs in the dessert, ordinary people eat it to refresh the mind, but His Highness can't, what is the prince's intention?

After taking the medicine, Chu Ran slept until Haishi. When she opened her eyes, it was already dark, and the candles in the room were brightly lit. The person beside her had a faint joy on her face. She stretched her hand under the quilt, "Does it still hurt?"

Her hand was warm, not as cold as usual. Chu Ran held her hand, sat up with support, shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, when is it?"

"Haishi, eat something. Being hungry for a long time is not good for the spleen and stomach." Lu Shi asked someone to fetch some shredded chicken porridge, his words were gentle, not to mention the daytime affairs.

After Chu Ran noticed her expression, misty confusion appeared in her deep eyes, and she asked strangely, "You don't seem to be happy?"

"Your Highness is sick, so naturally he's not happy." Lu Shi avoided her eyes, twisted a handkerchief from the basin and wiped it for her. When the chicken porridge was brought over, she took it and blew gently, "Drink first, Your Highness." Some porridge, and drink the medicine after half an hour."

The shredded chicken is delicious, and it melts in your mouth after being boiled for a long time. Chu Ran swallowed it without chewing it in her mouth. Seeing Lu Shi's indifferent expression, she numbly swallowed the porridge she fed, and ate a bowl in a short time .

Lu Shi wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and Fu helped her to lie down again.Chu Ran had no choice but to grab her sleeve, "Don't be annoyed, Lu Xiang, it's quite fierce."

"Your Highness rest first." Lu Shi put her hands under the quilt, sat aside and continued to flip through the official documents, the sound of the pages turning quietly came to his heart, Chu Ran felt sleepy after being fed, and looked at Lu Shi's figure Slowly closing his eyes, it was too late to drink the medicine.

Lu Shi didn't wake her up either, he just had the medicine warmed up and drank it when she woke up.

The next day was about to go to court early, and Lu Shi asked His Majesty to ask for leave to stay in the mansion. When Chu Ran opened his eyes, it was her again, and he smirked, "You are lazy."

"Go to Shu Ya in the afternoon, there will be no delay." Lu Shi knew what she meant, and didn't say anything else. After feeding the medicine, she looked fine, and went to the East Palace to meet the crown prince.

***

The prince, Xiao Zhaoxun, was about to give birth, and the East Palace was heavily guarded, with bright swords.

When Lu Shi left, the crown prince came back, heard that Prime Minister Lu was coming, and greeted him personally, saluted the corporal, and welcomed him into the main hall with a smile.

The staff of the Eastern Palace retreated cautiously after seeing the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister hardly stepped into the Eastern Palace to avoid suspicion. There must be a big event when they come here today.

After everyone had retreated, Lu Shi went straight to the point: "What is the meaning of the snacks that the prince sent to the prime minister yesterday?"

The prince made tea for a while, the steam swelled up, and his eyes were confused, "I don't understand Lu Xiang's words, just comfort my sister."

Lu Shi said: "King Heng is sick, and the East Palace has benefited, and His Majesty has been taking the elixir for a long time, and his body has already been hollowed out. Is the crown prince in a hurry, and the Xiangfu has become a stumbling block for you?"

"The prime minister is overwhelmed. Gu and sister are not separated from each other. How can they be separated? Besides, the prime minister has been supporting the northwest. Why is it a stumbling block? Why don't you just say what Gu did wrong?" The prince smiled lightly, and said Don't care about the aggressiveness of the prime minister.

"The crown prince should be aware of what is mixed with the snacks in the East Palace. The Xiangfu in the northwest is supporting it. The East Palace is worry-free, but it was done by the minister. The third prince is now grown up, and the minister can change hands."
