The Queen of Qi State prayed for blessings in Huguo Temple and returned to the palace tomorrow, while the Empress Dowager was lingering on the sick bed, and it has been a long time that no one will come to greet him. So today is free.

Le Zhi wore a thick light apricot-colored ru skirt, and Li Yao brought her a sleeve stove. After she held it tightly, she felt her body gradually warm up.

She didn't dare to ask Huo Du why there was no heater in the bedroom. Isn't he cold?

wrong. Obviously his palm is so cold, how can it not be cold.

But Huo Du's temperament is so weird, more things are worse than less things.

After arriving at the dining room, Le Zhi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Where's the slightest bit of smoke in here? There's only one plate on the dining table...leaf?

The bleak cold wind blew in from outside the dining room, and the stabbing cold felt all over Lezhi's body.

"Slave, see the Crown Princess."

Le Zhi turned around and saw an elderly palace maid, followed by a few little palace maids. Lezhi nodded, as a response to their greetings, "Who are you?"

Mammy Li was startled at first, although she had sent someone to inquire about it before, she didn't expect it to be so dazzling—

With picturesque eyebrows, pink carvings and jade carvings, people are really more delicate than flowers.

The state of Qi is located in the north, and most of the women are majestic and magnificent, unlike the state of Li, which is located in the south, and the women are much gentler and more beautiful.

It seems true that Li Guo has beautiful women.

It's just... where is the country of Li now? But it became a territory of Qi State.

"The slave's surname is Li, and she is the steward of the East Palace."

Her tone was cold and distant, and there was contempt in her eyes.

Le Zhi knew it in his heart, but he wasn't annoyed, "It turned out to be Mama Li."

"Prince Concubine hasn't had breakfast yet?" Mammy Li's mouth twitched with mockery, "Please eat quickly."

Le Zhi sat down at the dining table and asked, "Can Your Highness have a meal?"

Mammy Li didn't expect this crown princess to be so calm at such a young age. She thought that she recognized her position and did not dare to be arrogant in the East Palace.

"Naturally I have used it. Your Highness is accustomed to using only this night scented incense for breakfast."

Hearing this, Le Zhi frowned: Huo Du only eats this leaf for breakfast? No wonder the fairy spirit is fluttering...

She picked up the silver chopstick, sandwiched a piece, and put it in front of her nose to sniff it, as if it was the smell she had smelled on Huo Du last night. I nibbled at the tip of the leaf with my shell teeth—

The cool taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, with a little weird spicy.

Unappetizing.

Too bad to eat.

I didn't expect this thing that smelled so peacefully to be so hard to swallow.

Le Zhi put down the silver chopstick and frowned.

Li Yao frowned on the side, and it seemed that they were deliberately teasing people. She raised her eyes to Mammy Li and said, "The Crown Princess is from the south, and her eating habits are different. Please, Mammy, ask someone to make some hot food."

She was neither humble nor arrogant.

But Mammy Li said deliberately: "This is difficult to do. His Royal Highness never likes to add hot food to breakfast, if the Crown Princess insists on adding it..."

Li Yao's hands trembling with anger to dispose of his master like this, this is too bullying!

She wanted to speak again, but was pulled by Le Zhi.

"If that's the case, then it's the same as His Highness." Le Zhi smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Mama Li has worked hard, let's go."

"It's too much!" Looking at Li Yao's back, Li Yao gritted his teeth: "She just bullied you on purpose!"

Le Zhi smiled, "So what?"

Now, in an enemy country, anyone can step on her as a princess of a subjugated country.

Could it be Huo Du's intention to be able to show off his might in the East Palace?

No problem, no problem.

As long as you live, you will come to Japan.

"There is still some dry food in the servant's house, the servant will go and get it..."

Before the words fell, the little girl ran out. Le Zhi's face was slightly condensed, and he sighed and shook his head—

It would be great if Li Yao hadn't been sent by Huo Xu.

Suddenly, a smell of fish wafted up, and Le Zhi was suspicious, so he got up and walked out of the dining room following the scent. The smell of fish was at its strongest until it reached a room. Le Zhi thought for a moment, then gently opened the door—

The furnace in the house is burning hot, warm like spring, and accompanied by a strong fish fragrance.

She turned her eyes and finally saw the person inside.

No, it's the cat inside.

Xiaoxue dumplings, whom I had only seen in the morning, were lying lazily on the low table.

Seeing her opening the door, Xue Tuan stood up immediately and ran towards her, still limping and running very slowly.

"Don't run, don't run." Le Zhi quickly walked over, squatted down and rubbed its little head, "So you live here!"

"Meow meow~"

Lezhi picked it up and sat down at the low table, looking at a table of fish-made meals—

Fried fish, dried small fish, grilled fish, fish soup...

And it's all deboned fish.

Smelling the smell of fish, the snow ball in his arms jumped to the table and started to eat fried fish, making a satisfied meow while eating.

"You little guy, really happy."

Le Zhi touched his empty stomach and smiled with emotion. She knew that this little white cat must have been raised by Huo Du, otherwise, how could she enter and leave the Prince's bedroom at will. Seeing its meal at this time, she was even more sure.

Snowball ate quickly, and suddenly shook his head vigorously as if choked by fish. Lezhi raised his hand and followed the back of its neck, then picked up the silver spoon and fed it a mouthful of fish soup before it swallowed the fish stuck in its throat.

"Gollum—"

Le Zhi's stomach rang again. In fact, she wasn't very hungry, she was already too hungry after thinking about it.

But Xue Tuan put down the dried fish and looked at her with round eyes.

Seeing this, Lezhi nodded its head and said deliberately, "What? You're sorry that I don't have any food to eat?"

Xue Tuan seemed to understand, shaking his head and meowing.

"That's it." Le Zhi deliberately picked up a small dried fish and shook it in front of its eyes, "Why don't you share with me?"

Xue Tuan didn't respond, but round eyes looked towards the door.

Le Zhi is surprised, is someone here?

Then, the familiar laughter sounded behind him, "Grab food with the cat?"

Le Zhi hurriedly turned around and saw Huo Du sitting in a wheelchair made of white jade, looking at her with peach blossom eyes. She was stunned, and the slender fingers holding the dried fish unconsciously loosened...

The dried fish fell, impartially, and hit Xue Tuan's head just right.

The terrified meow sounded, and Le Zhi hurriedly squatted down to see the snow ball. I saw it raised its cat claws and wanted to rub its head, but unfortunately its front legs were too short to reach.

Lezhi reached out and rubbed its head with shame. After Xue Tuan pushed her head against her palm, she ran to Huo Du...

Huo Du picked up the snow ball and put it on his lap, then looked at Le Zhi and asked, "How long have you been in Qi country?"

Le Zhi stared at his face, but could not see that he showed the slightest emotion. Even since the two met last night, every action and every word he said made her unable to understand.

She slowly walked closer to him, saluted respectfully, and replied, "It's been more than a month since I returned to His Highness."

To be precise, it was the thirty-seventh day.

"One month." Huo Du chuckled, "Do you still remember who you are?"

Hearing this, Le Zhi was slightly startled.

During this period of time, everyone avoided mentioning Li Guo in front of her, and no one called her princess again. She knew that they all wanted her to forget, and it would be good to forget it cleanly.

Especially Huo Xu.

But how could she forget? She is the youngest third princess in the country of Li. She bears the blood feud of her relatives and people, and she still has relatives to save...

How to forget?

unforgettable.

But what Huo Du said was to remind her not to forget the identity of the princess? Or is it just a test?

After thinking for a while, Le Zhi nodded lightly and said softly, "Remember, I am His Highness's Crown Princess."

After a pause, she frowned slightly, realizing she had lost her words, and hurriedly added: "Concubine...the concubine is His Highness's Crown Princess."

She came to Qi country for more than a month, and she learned the etiquette very well, but she was easy to forget the title.

Huo Du looked at her drooping fox eyes and listened to her evasive answer, but stopped asking questions. Only said: "In my case, the title is not important."

Ah. The beauty is restrained, which is boring.

If you are so afraid of him, when will you dare to attack him?

He has to help her.

Le Zhi didn't answer.

Fortunately, An Xuan came at this time, he nodded and said, "Your Highness, everyone is here."

"Let's go, lonely princess."

Le Zhi was puzzled, but did not say much, until she walked into the main hall of the East Palace—

Mammy Li and a few palace maids knelt on the ground, their shoulders shrank, and their bodies trembled violently.

"This group of slaves went overboard and rammed the crown princess, and asked Your Highness to express, how to deal with it?"

After finishing speaking, An Xuan waited quietly waiting for instructions.

Le Zhi looked at Huo Du, and saw that he was also looking at her, with a faint smile on his face. Then he reached out to her...

In a familiar scene, the fear of having her arm unloaded struck, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. But in front of everyone, she didn't dare to go against his will.

The door of the main hall was not closed, and the cold wind blew in. Le Zhi shivered and put his hand on his palm.

- My palms are as cold as last night.

However, this time he just held her hand lightly and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips.

It's a picture of a full-fledged flounder.

"Since it collided with the Crown Princess, let the Crown Princess handle it."

Gentle voice, with the meaning of complete pampering and maintenance.

Everyone kneeling on the ground was shocked, and looked up at Le Zhi in panic. Especially Mammy Li, who obviously did not expect that the crown prince would take this princess of the country into his heart.

Le Zhi wasn't fooled by his gentle and indulgent appearance.

Although she knew that she had a face that everyone praised. But after last night, she was sure that Huo Du was by no means a foolish person.

I don't know what he meant by this move, how could Le Zhi dare to accept his words.

"I'm new here and I don't understand many of the rules of the East Palace, so I'll leave it to Your Highness to deal with it."

She deliberately used the title "I". First, it was just given by Huo Duyun, and secondly, it was to let the people in the East Palace know that in front of the prince, she could still ignore the title, but any minions who had a little brains would definitely not dare to bully again after that. she.

And pushing the right of disposal to Huo Du shows that she will not be arrogant and arrogant.

Watertight.

Hearing this, Huo Du did not speak immediately. After a while, he suddenly smiled.

"Then go by the old rules."

An Xuan nodded and said yes.

At this moment, the maid who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a pale yellow palace dress suddenly raised her head, with tears on her cheeks, and exclaimed in alarm, "Your Highness! This is Mammy Li's idea!"

Immediately, he pointed to another palace maid, "And her! It's Xuepazi that Jing Xin said that His Royal Highness is sleeping on the palace's happy bed... Xuepazi..."

She wanted to go on, but she didn't dare.

Hearing this, Le Zhi's face flushed slightly, then turned white again.

She knew exactly what Xuepazi represented...

An Xuan on the side was always indifferent, but when the maid pointed at Jing Xin, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Noisy." Huo Du spat out a word.

An Xuan and the guards outside took all the palace maids down.

The main hall returned to a cold silence.

Huo Du let go of Le Zhi's hand and continued to caress the snow ball on his knees. Le Zhi quickly hid his sweaty hands in his sleeves.

She didn't know where those palace maids would be taken, let alone what the old rules Huo Du was talking about.

She also didn't think her princess was much better than them. As long as Huo Du moved her fingers, she would be like those palace maids at any time...

Not long after, An Xuan came back.

He still saluted respectfully, but what he said surprised Le Zhi—

I saw him bowing to Huo Du and said solemnly: "Your Highness, this minister must protect Jingxin."

He didn't beg, and there wasn't even a hint of begging in his tone.
