Previously, he didn't want to bring her along because he was afraid that she would be wronged here. In the end, she was alright, since she came running over. Right now, Prince Xian was only giving her a precaution.
Shen Qi sat up, looked straight at him, and shook her head seriously, "I'm not afraid, even if Your Highness isn't afraid of hardships, I can still take it." Since she dared to come here and was prepared to take on all responsibilities, she didn't care about those.
Upon hearing this, King Xian sighed, and without a word, he took the other into his arms.
The distance from the tavern to the place where King Duanren lived was indeed not too far. They arrived in about an hour's time, and Feng Kang's voice could be heard from outside the carriage as the carriage stopped, "Your Highness, Princess, we have arrived."
King Duan got off the carriage first, then turned around and stretched out his hand. The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Shen Qi handed his hand over to him.
He looked around curiously, not knowing what kind of character the mistress had. Shen Qi glanced at them, thinking that it was already so late and everyone was tired, he instructed: "Go back and rest, if there's anything you need to say it tomorrow."
At this time, King Duanren completely handed over his home ground to the wangfei. Previously, he didn't care if there was a mistress in the mansion or not, but since the hostess had already come, he should have let her manage the backyard.
At first, those servants wanted to see if the prince had any orders, but they found out that the prince was just standing by the prince's side, not caring about the princess. When they wanted to see if the prince had any orders, they discovered that the prince was just standing by the princess's side, not caring about the princess.
Duke Yuan directly brought Shen Qi to Main yard, leaving a few servants there for Shen Qi to let Zi Zhu and the rest to rest, "Take out the things you need, tidy up the rest, you guys can go and rest as well."
After such a long journey, they were finally able to calm down, and they were all relieved. However, they were truly tired, even if they did not do anything, it was still more tiring than working in a horse carriage. They did not refuse at this time, and after they were done with their arrangements, they all took a break.
Shen Qi couldn't fall asleep on the carriage, she was really sleepy at this time. After everyone left, she couldn't even open her eyes anymore.
She nodded without a care. She took off her clothes and slept on the pillow. Her breathing was even as she fell into a deep sleep. Seeing her like this, Duke Xian couldn't help but feel his heart ache. As she spoke, she smiled. It was so silly that it caused people to feel pity for her!
Shen Qi slept soundly, and when she woke up, there was no one by her side. Thinking about it, Duke Xian must be a pile of things here, how could he have the time to sleep and rest?
Hearing the commotion, Violet Bamboo and the others came in to attend to her. "Is the wangfei up?" As he spoke, he stepped forward to help her wash her clothes and comb her hair.
Shen Qi nodded, "Where is the Duke?"
"Your Highness left early in the morning. Before leaving, he instructed this servant not to disturb you and to let you sleep a little longer." After resting for the whole night, she had finally recovered a bit and was full of spirit.
The breakfast was served in a style similar to the one in the capital. Shen Qi was surprised for a moment, but as if she could tell that she was suspicious of him, the servant girl beside her immediately went up and explained: "The Prince ordered the kitchen to prepare for you the smell of the capital."
Was he afraid that she wasn't used to the food here? Shen Qi smiled at the servant who replied. She was twelve or thirteen years old, and looked a little black, but her eyes were bright and clear.
The young maid seemed as if she hadn't expected that the wangfei would ask her a question. She was excited for a moment before she crisply replied, "I'm called Brother Recruit." Then, he looked at Shen Qi with wide eyes.
Shen Qi immediately asked with a smile: "Do your parents want a son?"
"Yes, my father wants a son, but my mother gave my father five girls and only one son. My brother is still young this year, and I can't afford to live in a poor family, so the prince's mansion has hired a servant for them." The last sentence was said with extreme satisfaction.
She said it vividly, even when she said that her family was so poor that they could not eat, there was not a single trace of depression or worry in her voice, as if she was just stating a matter of hope and expectation for the future. Perhaps this was the toughness of the people at the border, no matter how bitter their lives were, they would not be able to beat them.
Shen Qi could not help but start to feel sad. In the capital, there were a lot of nobles who could support the commoners at the border for a month with a daily consumption of food.
Seeing that she was quick-witted, Shen Qi asked her about the situation in the temporary manor, and the recruited brother's answer was very quick, the mansion was still relatively simple, there was a couple that was an old man there, following Prince Duan. In the kitchen, there was an old lady and a chef, and other than the recruited brother, there was also a errand boy called Zhang Zhong, followed by a few temporary workers.
In addition, this was only a temporary residence. Although it was a temporary residence, the place he stayed in was a military camp and he rarely returned, so the mansion was naturally deserted.
This time, Shen Qi came over and brought along the group of people she had served before.
After dinner, they would meet up and take care of their luggage. When she came over, she would naturally take care of everything in the mansion, so that the prince would feel at home when he returned.
As Yan Er had some things he needed to ask, Shen Qi called him over. When he arrived in front of Shen Qi, the first thing he did was to pay his respects to her, "This subordinate greets Consort Wang."
Shen Qi waved her hand to indicate that he did not need to be overly courteous, "Has Your Highness been busy lately?" The question was straightforward.
"In reply to the wangfei, Your Highness has indeed been very busy during this period. He didn't even have time to eat, and just so happened to take care of his matters now that his injury has not completely healed. If this continues, your subordinate is worried that Your Highness might not be able to hold on."
Shen Qi could not help but frown: "Is the war going to be tricky?" She knew that such a matter wasn't something that she should ask, but the prince's nervous appearance couldn't help but cause others to think too much about it.
Yan Er glanced at the princess consort. It should be possible to say the words of the princess consort, right? " Yes, someone had met someone from the King Rui, and it was a very important person at the side of the King Rui. I wonder what kind of conditions they had with the Barbarians, the prince has been dealing with this matter recently. "
Shen Qi knew what was going on right away, she nodded: "I understand, you can leave now."
Yan Er cupped his fists and said, "Yes." But before leaving, he looked at the wangfei, he couldn't help but say, "Wangfei, when you come, you have to properly persuade the prince to have his meal on time. Besides your words, the prince won't listen to anyone else.
Shen Qi smiled and nodded, "I understand." She then instructed the purple bamboo, "Go to the kitchen and inform him or her that he or she should cook the dishes that the prince likes. He or she should send them over to him or her later."
When Yan Er heard these words, he left satisfied. With the princess watching them, not only would the guards not have to worry about the prince's health every day, they would also be able to eat meals on time.
Therefore, after Duke Xiang and his subordinates finished discussing the matter, they heard the food being brought over from the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Mo was the first to be unable to sit still, "Bring it in, I'm starving!" Little imperial aunt, it's good that you're here.
Situ Ye also had a face full of anticipation. He had stayed in the Duke Palaces for a period of time, so he naturally couldn't forget about the food there.
King Duan knew that it must be the little princess' idea. She didn't show it on the surface, but inside, she was enjoying it. But after seeing Xiao Mo's and Situ Ye's expressions, she became a little unhappy. The wangfei is mine and the food is mine as well.
No matter what King Duanren was thinking right now, Xiao Mo and Situ Ye had temporarily forgotten how fierce the Duke was when they saw the delicious food. The two of them ran towards the lunchbox at the same time, and just as they were about to reach for it, Duke Duanren suddenly reacted and quickly took the lunchbox away, protecting it so that no one else could touch it.
Xiao Mo immediately could not take it anymore, "Royal Uncle, Little Royal Aunt must have prepared for us too, you can't take it for yourself."
Situ Ye nodded his head and agreed, "That's right, that's right, we can't keep it for ourselves."
However, Shen Qi was afraid that if she added them all up, they would not be enough, so with a single glance, she could not help but admit that what Xiao Mo said was true, no matter how unwilling Duke Xiang was. How could there be such a flaw in the Royal Concubine?
So even if they were unwilling, they still ate with them in the end. Xiao Mo and Situ Ye sighed in satisfaction.
These few times when the barbarians sent out troops, they were quite incomprehensible and annoyed, constantly teasing them, and then provoking their anger, then they would hit them twice and run. After that, they would let people be tired after a few times, but after that, they would also hate them until their teeth started to itch, feeling that there was nowhere for them to pull in.
Forget about the soldiers, even Xiao Mo wanted to go up and have a good fight with them. However, they wouldn't give him a chance, they would retreat while fighting, and then continue to challenge him the next day, these generals were all very impulsive. They were all infuriated after being played like cats and mice a few times, they rolled up their sleeves and wanted to kill their way to their lair.
Duke Xian knew that they wouldn't do something so pointless as to arouse the anger of the Da Xia Empire. They must be mulling over something, and with the addition of the fact that a spy had met the people at the side of King Rui, Duke Xian and the others, they had been pondering about what had happened all this while.
He wanted to know what the Barbarians were planning, wanted to know what the King Rui was planning, and wanted to find a way to turn the situation into its own. Otherwise, even if it could arouse the courage of the soldiers, it would be too exhausting to deal with it.
They didn't know what kind of agreement the King Rui and the Barbarians had reached, so there was no way to deal with it. Moreover, the one leading the troops this time was the Barbarian Kingdom's second prince, Ye Lvhong.
