My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

After returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Mei Xueer quickly found herbs to make pills, and also asked Nanxing to help.

Yesterday morning, Mei Qianyue caught a cold at the palace gate and her condition seemed to have worsened.

She originally wanted to get some pills out and send them to the prime minister's residence early tomorrow morning, and visit her parents at the same time.

But this day he was delayed because the Princess of Yan took him to see a doctor. So he thought of preparing some pills overnight.

Nanxing squatted aside and looked at her admiringly, "Miss, you are so kind!"

Mei Xueer chuckled: "Really? Don't you know that your young lady is notorious in this capital city?"

"That was in the past. The young lady cured the Queen Mother's illness and is now famous in the capital. Good reputation, good reputation!"

Mei Xueer sighed, "I don't want a good reputation. As long as no one bothers me every other day, I'll be satisfied."

Nanxing looked at the young lady's hands covered with medicinal mud, and hurriedly crushed the herbs even harder.

Following the young lady these days, she has learned some basic medical knowledge and can also sort and grind herbs, so she can help out a bit.

I also practiced on Cui Hongjing and learned how to wrap the corpse.

"Miss, you should rest early after you finish these. The weather is getting colder. Let me bring the medicine to Miss San in the morning. Just sleep until you wake up naturally."

Mei Xue'er originally planned to go by herself, but after hearing what Nanxing said, the idea of ​​"sleeping until I wake up naturally" immediately prevailed. Besides, it was not a big deal. "Okay, you must pay attention to safety on the road. When you go out tomorrow, take Wen Yi with you. Safety awareness must be strengthened; we are not afraid of being tight for a thousand days, but we are afraid of being lax for a day; safety is more important than Mount Tai..."

She was about to say a few safety slogans, but Nan Xing retorted on the spot, "Don't let Wen Yi! I am most afraid of him. If I let him come with me, he will scold me to death along the way."

Mei Xueer suppressed her laughter, "Then, Xiao Ding?"

Nan Xing pouted in disdain again, "Don't worry, miss. Isn't there a coachman accompanying me?"

Mei Xueer looked left and right, and lowered her voice, "I heard that among the five divine beasts, Wen Bing's martial arts is the worst. No, you have to bring another one."

"But Miss, you are the one who needs the most protection..."

"I'm not leaving the palace, what danger could there be?"

Nan Xing couldn't persuade her, so he reluctantly agreed to take Xiao Ding with him. "Okay, it's better to keep silent than to nag."

She was still quite gossipy about Mei Qianyue's affairs. "Miss, what do you think is going on between the Third Miss and the King Xiao?"

"I'm not sure, but I'm sure they knew each other before." Mei Qianyue left the palace yesterday in a hurry. She didn't take the initiative to tell Mei Xueer, and Mei Xueer didn't ask too much.

The next day, the temperature dropped again.

When Nanxing went out, he found that it was snowing at night.

This year's first snow came later than usual.

This was the first snow in Beijing this winter. The flowers and plants in the yard were covered with thick snow, with some green showing through occasionally.

She rubbed her hands, hunched her neck and went to get some charcoal. She tiptoed and added some new charcoal to the charcoal basin in Mei Xueer's room, and warmed a pot of water in the small kitchen.

"When the young lady gets up later, she will need hot water for washing. You can bring it to her." She said to Wen Jia softly. At the end, she turned around and added, "Just put it at the door."

Wen Jia reminded with a sad face, "Nan Xing, I am a secret guard!"

"So what if they're secret guards? They're all serving the young lady." Nanxing's eyes were as big as longans.

Wen Jia felt that it was necessary to find a few more maids for the princess.

Nanxing alone is obviously not enough.

Which princess has only one personal maid like this?

In other words, her princess is frugal.

Or maybe it’s because we are too poor.

Or stingy.

Isn't that just stingy? In the past, they received their monthly salary from the prince, but since they followed the princess, they naturally had to receive it from the princess.

But today is the third day of the twelfth lunar month, and the princess hasn't mentioned the monthly salary at all. It seems that she hasn't thought about it at all.

Wen Jia is fine, he always says that he regards money as dirt, but he is worried about Wen Wu.

That guy has such low taste and his head is full of dirt.

In the past few days, Wen Wu had asked him privately several times, making it seem as if he had withheld money from his brothers.

Am I, Wen Jia, that kind of person?

No, I have to find an opportunity to remind the princess indirectly.

Wen Jia: I'm not doing this for myself, I'm doing this for Xiao Wu.

Nanxing took Wen Bing and Wen Ding to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Mei Xueer slept until she woke up naturally, and opened her eyes sleepily while lying on the bed.

In the new life, everyone takes care of themselves, that’s good!

No matter how late you sleep or get up, no one will say anything.

She suddenly realized that she hadn't heard Goudan's voice for a long time. Could it be that this man was dead?

[Woman, how dare you say I'm dead? ] Goudan noticed her thoughts and jumped out immediately.

Mei Xueer was shocked: [You, are you still alive? You have been talking so little these days, are you sick? ]

Goudan: [It’s cold, I don’t want to talk, I want to sleep.]

Mei Xueer: [You are a dog, do you still need to hibernate? ]

Goudan: [Not really, it’s just that it’s so cloudy every day, my battery is always not fully charged, and I use up power when I talk. I might run out of power before it gets dark.]

Mei Xueer turned on the screen and looked at the battery capacity in the upper right corner. It was indeed only one-third: [Then, I will give you the entire generator? ]

Goudan was stunned for a moment: [Let’s talk about it later. I want to continue my beauty sleep, please stop making trouble.]

Mei Xueer had no choice but to get up, run, and finish her breakfast. Then she leaned against the door frame, looked at the flowers and plants covered with snow in the yard for a while, then rolled up her sleeves and started shoveling the snow.

Wen Jia saw that she first prepared the body, then rubbed the head, and was about to find something to add facial features to the snowman. She seemed to be in a very good mood.

So he moved over happily, thinking about how to start talking about the difficult matter of money.

Mei Xueer was getting up to find two black beans to make eyes for the snowman, but when she saw Wen Jia, she stopped and sighed, "Jia, I suddenly thought of something! Can you help me think about it?"

"Ah, Princess, please speak!" Wen Jia was caught off guard.

"It's like this. The prince allowed me to withdraw 100 taels of silver from the treasury every month, but I just suddenly remembered that I usually get so much medicine for him, and he didn't even pay me for the medicine. I don't want to pay for the cost of those medicines, so should I steal or rob them? They are all precious medicinal materials, and 100 taels is not enough for me to buy medicine."

Wen Jia opened his mouth wide, stunned, not knowing how to respond.

He swallowed hard and prepared to say what he had to say.

But Mei Xue'er didn't give him a chance. She looked at him with some depression and continued, "I mean, these days, we are getting poorer and poorer. We can't even afford pig intestines! Hey, Wen Jia, what are you doing? Why do you look like that? Tell me, is the prince usually so stingy?"

Wen Jia shut up tactfully and swallowed all the words he had prepared.

"...Ah, the prince is actually quite generous. Yes! He must have forgotten. He always forgot to give his brothers monthly wages in the past." He emphasized the last sentence, even though it was not true.

But Mei Xueer didn't seem to understand the hidden meaning of his words.

"Forgot? How could you forget about owing money to someone? You're such a jerk!" Mei Xueer put her hands on her hips, her expression clearly showing her extreme dissatisfaction with Cui Hongjing. "Jia, find a way to remind him to remember to give me the money for the medicine... Go now!"

Wen Jia opened his mouth again.

He regretted so much, regretting why he had to stand here so early in the morning.

Seeing Wen Jia walk away dejectedly like the flowers and plants in the yard that were wilted by frost and snow, Mei Xueer wondered:

Why is this turtle acting weird today?

Without giving it much thought, she went to find some black beans to add eyes to the snowman, and then began looking around for carrots to serve as a mouth for the snowman.

Wen Jia also appeared in Jianxian Pavilion at this time.

He was thinking all the way about how to tell the prince this difficult matter about the money for the medicine.

Anyway, it wasn't me who asked the prince for money, it was the princess! I was just a messenger.

Yes, just say it! It’s settled.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Cui Hongjing's somewhat angry voice from the inner room, "How come you only received this little money last month? It's 20% less than before. Send a message to Lu Yi, and tell her to check and find out what's going on."

"Could it be that someone knows that Dingxing Commercial Firm is the prince's property?" Zhuang Xiang's voice was obviously anxious. "It was acquired by exchanging the properties left by the queen several times. If someone is deliberately targeting you, the prince, then, it will be troublesome!"

"You mean, the prince?" Cui Hongjing's eyes were gloomy, "Or someone else?"

"I, your subordinate, can't guess it either."

"Hmph, I will go check it out myself. Zhuang Xiang, follow me!"

"Your Majesty, your legs?"

"It's okay, just take the sedan chair with you."

Wen Jia didn't want to listen to the conversation between the prince and Zhuang Xiang, but he had good hearing and heard every word clearly.

He really hated why he had to come here to hear all this.

He turned around and tried to escape, but Zhuang Xiang stopped him, "Wen Jia, what's wrong?"

Wen Jia turned around with a wry smile and saluted the prince. "Nothing, nothing. The princess asked me to come over and pay my respects to the prince on her behalf."

Cui Hongjing's entire body language showed disbelief. "Humph, what is she up to? You heard what we just said anyway. Go back and tell her that the money in the palace is tight right now, and from now on, the princess' monthly expenses will be reduced to eighty taels!"

Wen Jia: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

He regretted so much that he shouldn't have thought of reminding the princess to ask for the monthly allowance in the first place.

If he hadn't reminded the princess, she wouldn't have let him come to the prince to ask for money for medicine.

If he hadn't come to the prince to ask for money for the medicine, the prince wouldn't have asked him to ask the princess to reduce the monthly payment.

He wouldn't have fallen to this state.

It was so strange that early in the morning, as a professional secret guard, he had nothing to do but was busy doing this embarrassing thing!

It’s too difficult, too unfair, I want to cry!

Wen Jia walked back slowly and deliberately made a long circle in the garden.

Because he really couldn't think of how to tell the princess this difficult thing about cutting expenses.

When he finally returned to Qingfeng Garden, he immediately realized something was wrong.

The yard was surprisingly quiet.

Mei Xueer is not here.

There was only a small snowman with only eyes standing in the yard.

He didn't care about the money and called Wen Yi and Wen Wu several times, but no one answered.

Could it be that the princess had to leave the house for some urgent matter, and they followed her?

He felt relieved a little, but he still felt something was wrong.

What could have happened that could make the princess leave so impatiently that she didn't even have time to wait for him to report back about the money for the medicine?

Even if the princess forgot about the money, Wen Yi and Wen Wu should have reported it to him before leaving the house.

Also, Nanxing went out early in the morning, just to deliver some medicine to the Prime Minister's Residence. He should have returned long ago, but he is still nowhere to be seen.

No, something must have happened.
