Chapter 384 Preparation
Xiaoya was the first to notice that the father and son were standing behind her, and she hurriedly stood up to salute. Li Chengze waved his hand to avoid it, pointed at the painting and said: "You don't need to fill in anything here. The painting should have room for white space. It can't be too full, otherwise it will look like craftsmanship." Qi, sometimes the scenery you see naturally is the best. Although it has regrets, it is the most beautiful. Just like the residual lotus, there is a desolate beauty in the withering."
"Ah, I'm just superfluous. I said something is wrong. Thank you very much, Father, for your advice."
She happily curtsied and thanked him.
"You guys came back so early today, just accept it. With Xiaoya accompanying me, this day goes by so fast."
"Let's go, things are going smoothly today, it's earlier than usual. You can go back."
Li Chengze waved his hand, meaning you two go away and don't disturb us.
Brother Gan smiled and took Xiaoya's hand and left.
"Is it okay to leave like this?"
Xiaoya was a little uneasy, wondering if it would be impolite to leave without saying hello.
"It's okay. My father is very attached to my mother. When he is away, he wants someone to accompany my mother, so that she will not be bored and lonely. When he comes back, he wants to be alone with my mother, even our children are driven away."
"Hahaha! The father, the queen, and the queen are so loving. It's so interesting."
Xiaoya covered her mouth and giggled.
"Have you been painting today?"
"Well, my mother also gave me a set of Dongzhu's head and face jewelry. They were so beautiful that I accepted them without being willing to refuse."
"It's just for you, just keep it and wear it. I never thought that you and the Queen Mother are quite close to each other."
"Hee hee! My mother-in-law treats me very well and is gentle and loving. I have become more courageous."
"Well, your clothes look really nice today. This color is my mother's favorite."
Brother Gan looked at her again, pursed his lips and smiled to tease her.
"Yes, my mother praised me today. She only gave me jewelry when she saw this dress and said the color was beautiful."
Xiaoya consciously wore the right clothes, which brought her and her mother-in-law closer together, and she looked very proud.
Brother Gan stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, "You're so proud of me. If you are good at embroidery, you will have time to make a dress for your mother. It should be more elegant and delicate, with a touch of fairy spirit. She likes this best. She loves beauty. She will definitely be happy if you pick something nice and make it."
"Really, okay, I'll remember it. I'll go and pick out a good material and a good color."
Xiaoya originally wanted to give her mother-in-law some more clothes. She had already made one before they got married. However, considering that she was the mother of the country, the clothes made for her were a bit too dignified. After seeing her in person and getting to know her, she felt that the color of the clothes might not be suitable. Already.
"Don't be anxious, but you need to take care of the Changle Palace matter as soon as possible, and your dowry also needs to be sorted out as soon as possible. I can't help you with many things in the government. I hope you can handle it yourself, so that the mother and father can The emperor will be happy."
Brother Gan hoped in his heart that Xiaoya could win this stall on her own, so that her father, the Queen, and her mother would be impressed. It would play a very important role in securing her position in the East Palace, and no one could shake her position.
"Okay, don't worry. Queen Mother will give me a month. I'm thinking about sorting it out. If I wait for another seven or eight days, it will be all done."
Xiaoya did not forget her responsibilities and smiled confidently.
"Don't tire yourself, do what you can. What should we have for lunch?"
My godfather began to look forward to dinner, every moment with her, looking forward to it because it was wonderful.
"We have river seafood for dinner. The kitchen said they would bring river seafood. I stewed a soup. The seasonal vegetable and fruit soup is more refreshing. We won't eat in pots today. We will eat river seafood."
Xiaoya counted the dishes with her fingers.
"OK."
After returning to the house, Brother Gan changed into home-style clothes, sat down and relaxedly drank tea and took a rest.
I found that Xiaoya had already arranged everything, and the menu list of Changle Palace was also written down. It was very good, and two dishes were reserved for seasonal dishes, so that there could be many fresh meals and it would not be monotonous.
The dowry was almost done, and she even made notes on the list given by Huilan. Who should be moved to a different position, and what is their personality like through preliminary observation? A half-month observation period was given, and if the position was not suitable, the position could be changed.
The treasurer's income and expenditure for the year had almost been calculated. Brother Gan nodded, his mind was indeed smart enough, and at a glance he was inseparable.
Xiaoya was still writing something, and she took out all the clothes he would wear tomorrow and had them ironed and hung up to avoid being too hasty in the morning.
Brother Gan didn't say anything, just sat there and watched her busy, and after a while he would explain a few words, and suddenly felt very at ease. What he wanted was such a simple but warm life.
When she was almost busy, Xiaoya took two fruit plates and said, "Have a try, the fruits my mother gave me are sour and sweet. They are delicious."
Huilan forgot about the spiritual fruit that Ding Xiang had just sent to her in such a hurry. She only remembered it when she returned to Kunning Palace and gave Xiaoya two plates of fruit to replenish her body.
"Well, it's too sour, you can eat it."
Brother Gan knew at a glance that this was the Yangyuan Fruit, which was given by the Queen Mother to nourish Xiaoya's body.
"It's not sour. Eat another one."
"acid."
Brother Gan's sour face was distorted, Xiaoya ate happily and finished the whole plate in a short while.
"Eat less. We'll have dinner later. Eat dinner later."
"good."
The couple had dinner, and today they had river shrimp and fish. Xiaoya peeled the shrimp for Brother Gan and fed it to him.
Brother Gan licked her fingers gently, Xiaoya's face immediately turned red and she rolled her eyes at him.
Brother Gan took the fattest part of the fish belly and put it on a small plate for her, "Eat it while it's hot. The fish won't taste good when it's cold."
"Well, try these radish balls, they are crispy and delicious."
Xiaoya gave him a carrot ball.
Brother Gan took one look at it and picked it up to eat.
"Be good, a good boy should eat more vegetables. You can't get angry if you only eat meat."
Xiaoya teased him with a smile. She had discovered a long time ago that he liked meat rather than vegetables, so she specially made carrot balls for him.
Brother Gan held another carrot ball in his flat mouth, biting the ball angrily like an awkward child, making Xiaoya giggle.
“This bamboo shoot soup is delicious and appetizing.”
It was a very satisfying meal, and all the dishes on the table were eaten.
Xiaoya smiled with satisfaction, "Let's do this from now on, don't waste extravagance."
"yes."
"Go and stew a bowl of white fungus and pear soup. Your Highness and I will drink it later. It's best to get rid of the dryness in spring."
Xiaoya has arranged for desserts to be eaten in the evening, so as not to make her sleepy after drinking tea.
She continued to sit down and write, and she had to arrange things in Changle Palace as quickly as possible, as time was still very tight.
The queen gave her something from the treasurer, hoping that she would take over the treasurer. The prince was no longer fit to hold it.
"By the way, why doesn't Brother Lian become treasurer?"
Xiaoya asked.
"My mother asked him for his opinion, but he didn't want it. He likes to run away. He and his sister are doing medicine business and delivering it to the treasurer to make money. They plan to start a business. But they are ambitious and don't want to stay in the palace anymore."
