Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

The next day, Zhou Xingzhi got up a quarter of an hour earlier on purpose, and then contracted Ye Ningxuan's personal work as a maid, and thoughtfully helped Ye Ningxuan finish dressing and washing.

"Look at what you've done." Ye Ningxuan snorted softly, looking at herself in the mirror a little dissatisfied, "This mark can't be covered by clothes, and the ministers in the front row can see the mark on my neck."

"Just look at it. The relationship between the emperor and empress is harmonious, isn't that what the courtiers want to see?" Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile, "If it doesn't work, let Tsing Yi come over and cover it with rouge and gouache."

Ye Ningxuan glared at Zhou Xingzhi, and didn't think about what time it is, Zhong Qingyi must have not gotten up at this time, even if she got up, it would be too late for coming and going.

"Are you still going to the firearms station today?" Ye Ningxuan asked.

Zhou Xingzhi nodded, "I'll go over and take a look, and take a walk around the capital to see what's going on nearby."

Ye Ningxuan frowned slightly, "Will you wait for me to go out of the palace together?"

Zhou Xingzhi blinked innocently, "I think today's morning court should last for a long time, and when you come down to court, it shouldn't be too early."

"..." That's true, after all, today is the time for the minister to make trouble for himself, and there must be a tough battle to fight.

"Remember to be safe, I'll wait here for your return." Ye Ningxuan couldn't refute Zhou Xingzhi's words, so she could only pinch her face to vent her anger.

"Well, you deal with those people first, and if you can't handle them, call Tsing Yi and the others over. They also have official positions on them, so it's okay to make an exception and attend the court meeting." Zhou Xingzhi wanted to add, "When the time comes, I will send someone to find out I will."

Zhou Xingzhi knew very well in his heart that if he went to participate with her early this time, at least half of the voices of opposition would fall.But in this way, the courtiers will feel contemptuous of Ye Ningxuan, thinking that she is still at least the person standing behind him, and does not have the ability to handle the government affairs alone.

So Zhou Xingzhi had to stay away from the court meeting today, so that she could show that she trusted Ye Ningxuan enough, and also gave Ye Ningxuan more room to display.

Riding a fast horse with his personal guards, Zhou Xingzhi did not go to the firearms store immediately after leaving the palace, but first visited Jiahe's princess mansion.

"Brother Huang, why are you here!" Jiahe just got up from the bed not long ago, and was very surprised to see Zhou Xingzhi coming.

"Did I disturb you?" Zhou Xingzhi's eyes fell on Jiahe's neck, and then quickly moved away.

"Cough cough, no, Feng Yi went to work in the kitchen, I'll call her over!" Jiahe also noticed Zhou Xingzhi's gaze, covered his neck with his hands in embarrassment, and then ran away up.

Zhou Xingzhi smiled, and came down to the living room under the respectful guidance of the housekeeper, "Your Majesty, have you eaten breakfast, would you like your servant to prepare some for you?"

The housekeeper of the princess mansion is a female housekeeper in her 30s. She was originally a nanny in the palace, but she followed Jiahe when she was out of the palace and became the housekeeper of the mansion.

"No, just make me a pot of tea." Zhou Xingzhi had eaten breakfast, and seeing the butler standing behind him with his head bowed, he asked, "Has Concubine An come to the Princess Mansion recently?"

"Responding to Your Majesty, the house where the concubine lives is in the next street. In the past, the princess and concubine went to visit the concubine, and the concubine did not often come to the house." The housekeeper replied honestly.

Zhou Xingzhi nodded, "Are Jiahe and the son-in-law busy these days?"

"The princess and the son-in-law usually go back to handle the affairs of the charity hall and school in the morning, and the son-in-law will go back to the palace to handle business in the afternoon." The housekeeper didn't have the guts to deceive Zhou Xingzhi, so he could only briefly describe Jiahe and Feng Yi's daily situation in words.

Zhou Xingzhi took a sip from his teacup while listening, "How is the relationship between the son-in-law and the princess?"

"Of course it is very good." After mentioning this, the housekeeper couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the son-in-law treats the princess very well, and now the son-in-law is still cooking the princess' favorite dishes in the kitchen."

"That's really good." Zhou Xingzhi also laughed after hearing this.

After learning that Zhou Xingzhi was coming, Feng Yi didn't work in the kitchen either, and came to see her after hurriedly changing her clothes.

"You don't have to be polite, son-in-law. You are all from Jiahe, so naturally you are also from your own family." Zhou Xingzhi sat the two of them down, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Yes, Brother Huang, would you like to have breakfast with us?" Jiahe asked, "Feng Yi made this himself, it's delicious!"

"I'm leaving the palace..." Zhou Xingzhi originally wanted to refuse, but he quickly changed his words after hearing Jiahe's last sentence, "Okay, then let me have a taste of the concubine's craft."

Facts have proved that what Jiahe said is not a lie, Feng Yi's craftsmanship is really good, and it is not inferior to the imperial chefs in the palace.

"Brother Huang came so early, shouldn't he just come to see us?" After eating, Jiahe took the initiative to speak.

"Indeed, I won't go around the bush anymore," Zhou Xingzhi nodded, "I want Feng Yi to go to the early court tomorrow and participate in the government affairs."
