"Sometimes it's not a good thing to be kind and soft-hearted." Xie Zhan looked indifferent. This kind of trouble usually did not come to him. It was dealt with by the subordinates from a distance. It was just a report in his ears.

When he was in Tubao Village, he saw how much the Ming family suffered because of Zhao Qiao's identity.

Unlike Mingxiu, he does not believe in the idea that every injustice has its owner.

Anything that makes him feel bad will never make the other person feel better.

"You know what to do with it."

"I obey." The secret guard who made the report paused and then asked: "The princess...do you want to inform Zhao Qiao and his wife of their situation?"

Xie Zhan glanced at him and said, "You talk a bit too much lately." The most dangerous thing around him is a person with a long tongue.

Often the longer the tongue is, the shorter the life will be.

Especially those placed in important positions.

The secret guard quickly lowered his head, with a hint of fear on his face hidden under the scarf.

"I am aware of my guilt."

The whole person knelt at Xie Zhan's feet, his body trembling undetectably.

Seeing this situation, Xie Zhan couldn't help but frown, "Go down."

Before he stood up and left, Xie Zhan hesitated and finally called him up. Although this man talked a lot, his words were not entirely unkind.

It is indeed a bit difficult to tell Mingxiu about this matter. Tell her, but I am worried that Mingxiu will be soft-hearted. It seems not good to not tell her and be kept in the dark all the time.

In the end, Xie Zhan decided to tell him.

"You have to think about how you want to word it. Don't let the princess have any thoughts that she shouldn't have."

"yes."

As for Mingxiu, she didn't pay much attention after giving instructions about Zhao Qiao.

There is really no time.

She has been very busy recently. It's early summer, the new dishes in the restaurant are not ready, and the new products in the clothing store are only half-finished.

Originally, such things did not require Mingxiu to do it herself, but she assigned the restaurant's cook to Zhen Mi Niang. Originally, the manpower was stretched thin, but now it is even more difficult.

There were a lot of things during the winter. Although Ming's mother also trained a few useful cooks, the restaurant's business was better this year and she was still too busy. Mingxiu couldn't let the already overloaded cooks learn new things.

The dishes can only be introduced little by little, and then slowly changed.

Of course, the effect of doing this is not as impactful and attractive as directly introducing new people, but this is already the best way now.

But even so, there were still other things staring at her.

She is not too young among unmarried girls. Many girls her age are already mothers of several children. She is respected by the princess. At least her family seems to be extremely well-off. People in the capital are watching.

She has many families.

And because of the unclear connection with Xie Zhan before, no one in the capital dared to move.

If you touch the regent's sweetheart, wouldn't you be seeking death?

Now Mingxiu has not seen Xie Zhan for half a year. This was not an obvious thing at first, but the people who were staring at her felt that maybe they had misunderstood before.

Renming's family had just moved to the capital, and Mingxiu had just been granted the title of princess. It was only natural that the regent came to provide humanitarian care out of an acquaintance.

The most important thing is that if you don’t make a move at this time, you won’t have a chance to make a move!

If someone gets the better of them, won't they die of vomiting?

The day after Zhen Miniang left the city, Mingxiu was invited to Zhen's mansion.

Originally, she thought that Mrs. Zhen wanted to tell her about Zhen Mi Niang, so she married her without much thought.

Only when I got there did I realize that this was not the case at all!

Mingxiu looked a little dazed as he looked at the old man and the young man who appeared in the room.

Mrs. Zhen waved to Mingxiu, "Princess, Mi Ni just left, and I feel a little melancholy. I want to talk to you. I'm presumptuous."

She originally thought so too. What else could Mingxiu say? "Old Madam, you're welcome. Mi Niang and I are like sisters, and we regard you as our elder in our hearts."

These words were just words for the occasion, but Mrs. Zhen didn't seem to think so.

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhen laughed, and the steps on her head made a jingling sound.

"You're welcome, Princess. This is my old sister who has been with me for many years. You call her Mrs. Zhao. She just came back from her post with her son a few days ago and came to talk to me. It happened that you caught up with her."

Mrs. Zhen said this because she was familiar with it. If Mingxiu really called her mother-in-law, she would be ignorant of etiquette.

With a twitching face, she stepped forward and said to the old man, "Mrs. Zhao is well." She also nodded slightly to the little brother she brought with her.

"Your Majesty, you are so polite. How can you salute us in vain?"

Mrs. Zhen can steadily follow Mingxiu's etiquette because her family has a good daughter and a successful son. She has a royal title.

Theoretically, Mrs. Zhen and Mingxiu's identities are not far apart, and with the addition of age, they should be treated as such.

But this Mrs. Zhao is different. Her son is just a magistrate. Although his official position is not low, he is not an official in the capital, and he is not favored by the saints. He has not been granted the imperial title for many years.

Although Mrs. Zhao talks about being noble, she usually gives face to everyone she meets.

But in terms of identity, he is not even the slightest bit worse than Mingxiu.

If people are polite, Mingxiu will not pick on Qiao. She still respects the reasonable old man Mingxiu.

"You are an elder and an old man. If I accept your courtesy, I am afraid that my life will be shortened." Mingxiu usually doesn't need to be sweet, but she is afraid of being sweet. Mingxiu sat down, right next to Mrs. Zhao

.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao looked at Mingxiu with even more enthusiasm and affection.

Originally, Mingxiu should sit down under Mrs. Zhen, but someone was already sitting there, so she had no choice.

It was always hard for her to sit next to that guy, let alone get him to sit down by herself.

Although Mingxiu doesn't care about reputation, but now in other people's homes, he still needs to think about what he should pay attention to.

"The princess is really dignified and kind. I wonder if we have kissed her?"

That's all the old man could ask when he saw young men and women. Mingxiu didn't feel anything strange about this kind of thing. She was just a little embarrassed when she saw two unknown people when she first walked in.

In fact, it is not good to ask unfamiliar juniors, especially women, like this, but Mrs. Zhen looked normal, and Mrs. Zhao seemed to be just asking casually.

The atmosphere was as usual, and Mingxiu didn't feel anything was wrong at all, so he said truthfully: "Not yet, my parents are not in a hurry."

Only the little brother twitched his lips and looked at his grandmother with disapproval.

"How can we not be anxious? What if it's too late and all the good men of the right age have been selected?"

"You can't say that." Mrs. Zhen looked at the old sisters with disapproval, "Getting married is a big deal, and you have to choose carefully. How can you be in a hurry?"

The two old sisters started chatting among themselves, and Mingxiu was a little bored.

His eyes happened to fall on the little brother directly opposite him.

He was also quietly sizing up Mingxiu.

The two idle juniors looked at each other and smiled as if they had found a soulmate.

Although they were chatting, the two old ladies were also secretly paying attention to the situation on the young man's side. When they saw this, they couldn't help but smile with relief.

"I was negligent. You young people must be bored listening to us two old ladies talking. Why don't you go out for a walk." Mrs. Zhen seemed to have suddenly realized it now, and looked at Mingxiu apologetically.

Mrs. Zhao introduced to Mingxiu, "This is my useless grandson. His name is Zhao Xiyuan. He should be slightly older than the princess."

"Hello, Brother Zhao." Mingxiu nodded slightly. Although we were a little close just now, it was not to the point of being very enthusiastic. How can we be familiar with someone we just met?

And at this time, it's not good to be too familiar.

Zhao Xiyuan stood up feeling flattered. He didn't expect Mingxiu to be so polite. He bowed his head in return and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
