Chapter 349 Whoever takes it seriously will fail
"Siyou, you've been educated, you know how to read, and you have a quiet personality. I feel at ease with you serving the prince. After spending these few days together, you should have some understanding of the prince, so you don't have to be so reserved." Ji Chuhe said lightly.
"Yes, ma'am." Lin Siyou responded immediately.
"You are the first-class maidservant beside the prince. You are responsible for the affairs of the prince's courtyard. If there is anything you don't understand, go ask Tianxi and Ping'er, or you can ask Mianzhu."
"Yes."
After Xu Yan'er died, Ji Chuhe asked Ping'er to stay with Xiao Yan'an and serve him. Ping'er was quite smart.
"Youyou, Dongling, please leave first. I have something to say to my wife." Xiao Yan'an suddenly spoke.
"Yes." Dong Ling and Lin Siyou responded in unison.
After walking out of Ji Chuhe's yard, Dong Ling took Lin Siyou's arm.
Lin Siyou was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge, fearing that she would get into trouble.
When she signed the contract to sell herself, the lady asked her whether she wanted to be the prince's concubine or a maid. She chose to be a maid.
She didn't know whether this news had spread to the Prince's Mansion.
Anyway, that concubine already disliked her anyway.
Aunt Dong was pregnant and seemed to be quite trusted by the lady, so she tried to avoid her as much as possible.
"Youyou, your name is so nice. Just now when I heard the prince calling you Youyou, I felt it had a different charm!" Dong Ling spoke more elegantly.
After all, having followed the lady for so long, and being so diligent and studious, she must be a person with some knowledge.
These words made Lin Siyou's heart sink suddenly, and she quickly explained, "Auntie Dong, don't misunderstand, it's just a title. The prince calling me Youyou has no meaning."
"You are sober." Dong Ling couldn't help but sigh again.
The prince's voice is so affectionate even when he calls a dog.
Whoever takes it seriously will fail.
She had once been young and ignorant, and a girl in love.
Later, I slept and got it.
That's it.
Fortunately, I met my wife and lived the life I have now, otherwise, my life would be unimaginable.
However, Dong Ling cannot say these words to Lin Siyou.
"Youyou, I used to be the prince's personal maid. I have been serving him since I was very young. I know him best. Let me tell you something about him so that you can take care of her more easily."
Seeing that she couldn't avoid Dong Ling, Lin Siyou had to be on guard while listening to what Dong Ling said.
……
As soon as Dong Ling and Lin Siyou left, Xiao You'er was also carried away by the servants, leaving only Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an in the room.
"Madam, it seems that we have won the open and secret struggles with the eldest princess this time, but in fact, the eldest princess will be even more jealous of us, and she will definitely not give up so easily." Xiao Yan'an has been thinking about this matter these days.
If it was directed at him, he would not be afraid at all.
However, he was targeting Ji Chuhe, and if anything went wrong, that would be a consequence he could not bear.
"The news from Fourth Uncle should be coming back to the capital soon. The burning of the barbarian's rations was fake, which led the barbarian to think that Daxia's sneak attack was real. There will definitely be a small chaos on the border. By then, with the operation of First Uncle, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle in the court, Fourth Uncle will be able to take charge of the northern army."
"Madam, how can you be so sure that this is just a minor riot? What if the Hu bandits launch a massive attack? Once the war starts, it's hard to predict who will win or lose."
Ji Chuhe certainly knew that only a small-scale chaos would occur.
Because the Hu bandits are already at the end of their strength.
In the previous life, Daxia's military strength was not that strong, but after sending out the troops, they won a great victory in less than three months! The Luo family can be said to have picked up a great bargain.
The emperor resolved the chaos on the border in one fell swoop, and then he felt at ease to deal with the nobles in the court, and the first one he attacked was the Duke's Mansion.
"The North has already had three consecutive heavy snowfalls this year. It's impossible to start a war in such a difficult environment." Ji Chuhe explained.
Xiao Yan'an also agreed with this analysis, but there are always exceptions.
"If a fighting really breaks out, Fourth Uncle will have a chance to make a contribution. Fighting at this time will be particularly disadvantageous to the Hu bandits. Our military supplies can still be supplied, but it's hard to say about the Hu bandits." Ji Chuhe analyzed the situation again.
Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement.
When in Huaiyang, Xiao Yan'an was very unfamiliar with the northern border and the Hu bandits.
Not to mention the situation in the court.
After arriving in the imperial capital, I carefully learned about the situation there, understood the plans of Ji Chuhe, his father, his mother, and several uncles, and realized how big this game was.
There has always been a doubt in his mind.
Ji Chuhe actually knows the situation in the northern border so well!
She always said that everything came from books, but he had a strong feeling that her intelligence and talent were not just gained from reading so many books.
But if it’s not all due to the wisdom in books, then what is the reason?
"Prince, the current situation is still our speculation. Let's wait until everything is settled. If something really happens that is beyond our plan, we will make plans. It would be even better if it can develop according to our plan." Ji Chuhe said again.
"This is the only way." Xiao Yan'an nodded.
"Madam, I have put Liao Yunfei under house arrest, so as to avoid her coming out to cause trouble for you." Xiao Yan'an actually wanted to explain that he was not doing this for Lin Siyou.
"The prince has already dealt with this matter." Ji Chuhe obviously didn't take it to heart.
How much weight Liao Yunfei holds in her eyes depends on Xiao Yanan's attitude towards Liao Yunfei.
Now, in her heart, the danger level of Liao Yunfei is almost zero.
"Sir, I've been thinking about some business matters recently. Competition in all walks of life in the imperial capital is extremely fierce, but food, clothing, housing and transportation are more inclined to the powerful. The people in the imperial capital are generally much richer than those in other places, but they can't buy things suitable for them even if they have money. If we can seize this gap, we will definitely make money."
Xiao Yanan felt a little lost.
Originally, he felt that there was a certain distance between him and Ji Chuhe.
However, he slowly discovered that the distance between them was growing farther and farther, beyond his imagination.
Now, he understood completely.
There is a chasm between them that cannot be crossed.
She had always stood out of his reach.
"Ma'am, just go ahead and do whatever you want to do. If you think it's good, then it must be right."
"Okay, I'll think about it more carefully."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Xiao Yan'an turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.
Ji Chuhe turned around and walked to the table, fiddling with the abacus to continue calculating the costs and profits of her shop.
Qingluo looked at this scene and couldn't help but shook her head.
That’s it between the prince and his wife.
If the Madam and the Prince suddenly started talking about love between men and women, she might not be able to bear it.
