Chapter 71 If you dare to run, I will break your legs!

"From what Lord Yin said, it's Your Highness's fault?" Su Ci curled his lips with a smile.

Yin Hao was panicked: "Of course not. It is my fault for not understanding your Highness's meaning. I will take the account book to the princess for review."

Since His Highness handed the warehouse key to the princess, and took the key from the lady dowager and then handed it to the princess, what this means is self-evident.

He thought Su Ci was easy to bully, so he didn't hand in the account book immediately.

Su Ci's expression eased a little: "Then I'll trouble Lord Yin to make the trip."

Yin Hao left in a hurry.

When the remaining five people saw Yin Hao being defeated so quickly, they all had their own plans in mind.

Yin Hao, the Right Chief Clerk, was originally in charge of the finances and materials of the palace. He was a fifth-rank official and was notoriously difficult to deal with. However, he was subdued by Su Ci in just a few words. They should not even think about competing with Su Ci. Now, they did not care about the reaction of the Madam. It was important to keep their positions first.

They all had their own plans in mind, and Yan Dianbao from the Dianbao Office was the most proactive. He handed the account books of the Dianbao Office to Su Ci as soon as possible and explained everything about the Dianbao Office in detail.

Seeing this, the remaining four people followed suit.

After that, Yin Hao took the account books and personally explained to Su Ci all the details of the account books of the palace.

Although he only had a vague understanding of Su's poems, with the guidance of his mother Tao, he understood them immediately.

Throughout the whole day, Su Ci became more and more interesting as he studied, and time passed quickly.

After finishing his work, Zhao Shizhu returned to Jingyuanzhai and found Su Ci still looking at the account book by lamplight. The food on the table was cold.

"Didn't the king tell you to eat first?" Zhao Shizhu came forward and picked up one of the account books to look through it.

Were all these account books sent by Yin Hao?

"I just want to wait a little longer, Your Highness. Are you hungry? I'll have someone heat up the food." Su Ci stood up and shook his sore neck. He felt that looking at the account books was much more tiring than practicing martial arts.

Zhao Shizhu was a little surprised when he saw Su Ci's notes. Her handwriting was beautiful and her strokes were full of spirit. She wrote very well.

Everyone in Liangzhou knew that Miss Su San was famous for her beauty and was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it was obvious that Su Ci was also very good. However, when he inquired about Su Ci, he only heard that Su Ci was arrogant and willful, and was spoiled by Marquis Xuanping to the point of lawlessness.

But how many people know the full truth?
When he sat down to eat, Zhao Shizhu found that there were still three dishes and one soup, and there was one meat and two vegetables, all prepared according to his preferences.

"Next time, you can prepare your favorite meals. You don't need to consider me. I can eat anything. I'm not picky." While Zhao Shizhu was speaking, he helped Su Ci prepare the food.

Su Ci smiled back at him: "It just so happens that I am not picky about food, I can eat anything."

Zhao Shizhu felt that what he had heard was not true. Everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Xuanping Marquis's mansion ate and wore the best food and clothes. After marrying him, she said she could eat anything just to please him.

The look he gave Su Ci became more gentle unconsciously: "Although the palace is not rich, it is enough to support you. I also hope to be able to pamper you like I did in the Marquis' Mansion..."

Qi Xi watched from the side with tears in her eyes. It seemed that the unkind prince suddenly came to his senses and learned to be considerate.

He wiped away his tears and tried to hide away, but in the end he couldn't hold back and cried secretly in the corner.

Lu Yi took a handkerchief and handed it to him: "You are already so old, and you are still crying."

"I just remembered the most difficult time for His Highness in the past. I'm glad that I can see His Highness marrying a princess today. I'm happy for His Highness." Qi Xi choked up.

Lu Yi silently glanced at the couple under the candlelight in the room, thinking in her heart that although the princess is a good person, I'm afraid her heart is not with His Highness?
After all, His Highness couldn't give the princess anything... [Qi Xi and Lu Yi seem to have a good relationship, one is talkative, the other is taciturn. They have been serving Zhao Shizhu for many years, right?]

[When Zhao Shizhu was starving and freezing in the harem, they were the ones who stayed by his side]

[I think the Durian couple sitting together is very pleasing to the eye. I really want to see them rolling passionately~]

……

Su Ci glanced at the comments, then at the affectionate Zhao Shizhu across from him, and said with false concern: "Your Highness must take care of yourself no matter how busy you are. It's best to eat on time. There is always work to do, and it would be a waste of time if you ruin your health because of being busy."

Zhao Shizhu paused with his chopsticks and looked at Su Ci.

Su Ci smiled slightly: "Although it seems old-fashioned, few people can do it. Your Highness is only twenty years old. If you don't take care of yourself now, you will have many problems when you get older. My grandmother was always worried about my father and uncles who were always fighting outside. She was always worried about them and couldn't sleep or eat well. When she got older, she got all kinds of diseases and died young..."

When she mentioned her family, Zhao Shizhu listened carefully. He felt that the wife he married was a child who grew up in a honey pot, which was why she had such positive thoughts.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Are you listening to me?" Su Ci said with dry mouth, but found that Zhao Shizhu was looking ahead with empty eyes, obviously distracted.

Zhao Shizhu came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "I feel that it is my fortune to marry you."

It’s a pity that his original intention was not bright.

"So Your Highness must treat me well, otherwise I will run away." Su Ci said jokingly.

Zhao Shizhu's smile faded: "You'd better not run."

Su Ci asked without thinking, "Why?"

Zhao Shizhu once again provided food for Su Ci, his voice more gentle than ever before: "If you dare to run, I will break your legs!"

Su Ci suddenly felt that the food in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.

If others heard what Zhao Shizhu said, they would definitely think that he was joking, but she knew that every word Zhao Shizhu said was true, and he was really capable of doing such a cruel thing.

"Why would I run away for no reason when I have a good job as a princess? In my opinion, Your Highness is too dull and this will scare people." Su Ci said angrily.

【Looking at Su Ci's performance after marrying into Prince Duan's mansion, I think Su Ci really intends to run away from the mansion.】

[LS, you're overthinking it. Su Ci is the Princess of Duan. If she runs away, the Xuanping Marquisate will be implicated. Besides, do you think women in ancient times could run away just because they wanted to?]

[Shuang'er is here again, could it be that Bai Shuang wants to snatch someone from Su Ci again? ]

……

Su Ci saw from the barrage that Shuang'er had arrived, and thought that Shuang'er would come in soon, but she was blocked outside by Qi Xi.

Shuang'er was indeed sent here by Bai Shuang, and wanted to repeat her old trick, but Qi Xi blocked her outside the main hall: "Your Highness and the Princess are having dinner, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Shuang'er said anxiously: "Mrs. Bai is not feeling well again. She just kept coughing..."

"If Aunt Bai is in trouble, she should go find Zheng Wei. What's the point of you looking for His Highness? Is His Highness a doctor?" Qi Xi interrupted Shuang'er.
