Chapter 100 Demolishing the Promenade and Building the Courtyard
While some people were discussing serious issues, Su Ranhua had already fallen asleep peacefully. The autumn mood was getting stronger and the morning was getting later, but Su Ranhua got up at three o'clock in the middle of the night.
"Miss, why are you up now?" Xiaocui was woken up by Su Ranhua and rubbed her drowsy eyes.
"Get up, we have to do something." Su Ranhua arranged his clothes and went out first.
"What are you doing?" Xiaocui stood up quickly, grabbed his clothes and put them on, and hurriedly chased him out.
It was quiet outside, except for the occasional rustle of the night wind.
Xiaocui held her shoulders tightly with her hands and followed Su Ranhua, "Miss, what are you going to do?"
Su Ranhua walked around the sycamore tree, turned around, and said, "The Wutong Residence is really simple, it doesn't even have a courtyard wall. If we want to do something outside the house, even our privacy will be peeked into.
I have to have someone build a wall. Let’s go!”
After the sound fell, Su Ranhua walked towards the small bridge over the pond without looking back.
"Miss!" Although Xiaocui didn't understand the word "privacy", she understood the matter of building the courtyard wall and hurriedly caught up, "Should I ask the prince for permission? Besides, it's night now!"
"I am Princess Bei. I don't need to ask him for permission to build my residence. I am still in charge of this matter. I can do it whenever I want." Su Ranhua's attitude was firm and sharp, and his steps were hurried.
, Ting Yuxuan passed by as he spoke.
"Miss, miss!" Xiaocui trotted after him, "It will be bad if you offend the prince, you have to be careful!"
"He allowed me to make my own decision." Su Ranhua stopped as he spoke and glanced to one side. A long corridor built of bluestone ran through the road from Tingyuxuan to a pavilion in the distance.
"Really?" Xiaocui was a little surprised when she heard Su Ranhua's words. She had seen with her own eyes the attitude of King Bei towards the princess.
"If he hadn't spoken, do you think I would have the guts to make my own decision?" Su Ranhua looked at the long corridor and chuckled slyly. Before Ximen Hao left, he so forcefully asked her to be the Princess of the North, so
She showed him how to do it well. Anyway, since she came to this world, she has been criticized one after another. How could she not fully implement this spirit when she seized the opportunity?
"Go find Butler Lin, I'll wait here." Su Ranhua said to Xiao Cui, who looked in a daze.
"Now?" Xiaocui looked at the dark sky unconsciously.
"Yes!" Su Ranhua said with certainty. Things should be done at night. If it were done during the day, it would lose some of its flavor.
Xiaocui ran to Butler Lin's residence anxiously. As a slave, it was necessary to familiarize herself with the new environment in a very short period of time. Therefore, when Su Ranhua was trapped in the palace, Xiaocui had already found out the details of the Beiwang Mansion.
The basic layout is different from Su Ranhua who stayed in the palace for more than a month and didn't even know where the door opened.
Butler Lin was woken up by Xiao Cui. Although he was confused after hearing her words, he still appeared in front of Su Ranhua as soon as possible.
"Steward Lin is indeed a qualified housekeeper." Su Ranhua said with a smile when she saw Butler Lin. This person had never had any obvious prejudice against her, but instead always showed concern and sympathy like an elder towards a younger generation. It seems that
There was an absolute reason why the cold and arrogant Ximen Hao was willing to call him uncle.
"Princess, Xiaocui said you want to build a courtyard wall for Wutong Residence?" Butler Lin asked.
"That's right." Su Ranhua nodded, "Now ask the housekeeper to find someone to do it. I hope it can be completed before sunset tomorrow."
"If the prince has nothing to say, I think the princess can move back to the main courtyard." Butler Lin lowered his hand and said.
"Wutong Residence is quiet, I like it very much." Su Ranhua smiled lightly and looked at Butler Lin.
"Building the courtyard wall also requires stones and other materials, which need to be transported from outside Beijing. It cannot be solved in an hour or two." Butler Lin explained calmly.
"The stone is not a problem. The mud for the wall shouldn't be a problem. Find someone to start the work immediately." Su Ranhua said lightly.
"The old slave is stupid and doesn't know where the stone comes from?" Butler Lin was puzzled.
Su Ranhua turned to the long corridor made of simple bluestone pillars and lacquered red railings, and raised his eyebrows, "Look, isn't that?"
"What does the princess mean by demolishing the corridor and rebuilding the courtyard wall?" Butler Lin frowned and asked cautiously.
"Yes!" Su Ranhua nodded simply, "We will do it immediately."
"This matter involves tampering with the prince's palace. I want to ask the prince for instructions." Butler Lin cupped his hands.
"No need!" Su Ranhua's voice was cold, "Your Majesty allows me to act as the Princess of the North. The Princess can make the final decision on this small matter."
Butler Lin was slightly stunned. At this time, Su Ranhua's aura was so determined and cold that he could not be disobeyed. Looking at the sky, she deliberately chose to act overnight. She must have a trump card, otherwise she would not suddenly act so "arrogant"
.
Butler Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll find someone right now."
"I want to take action immediately." Su Ranhua added.
"Yes." Butler Lin nodded, took out a whistle, and blew it gently. The clear and crisp sound was very loud in the sky above the palace.
Within a moment, dozens of people gathered.
After Butler Lin explained the meaning of Su Ranhua, everyone lit lanterns and started to work. The messy sound of demolishing the corridor woke up everyone who was sleeping in the palace.
"Uncle Lin, are you just going to cause trouble with the princess like this?" Bai Yiyi, accompanied by Liu'er, came to question. This palace was built for a long time, and every plant and tree was left by the ancestors. How could it be so?
Can you just dismantle it?
"Miss Bai, the princess has given an order, and I dare not disobey it." Butler Lin lowered his hand and said.
"Where's Hao? Isn't he at the mansion?" Bai Yiyi looked around. The dark palace was already brightly illuminated by lanterns. "Why didn't such a big thing wait for his will first?"
"Miss Bai," Su Ranhua walked towards Bai Yiyi with a smile, "This is just a small matter in the palace. How can I, the Princess of the North, not be the master of what Prince He Lao will do? And I ordered someone to do it.
Yes, I wonder in what capacity Miss Bai is blaming Butler Lin now?"
"Princess, I'm just worried about you. Don't anger Hao with your impulsiveness. I just came out of Ye Tingxuan, so don't cause any more trouble." Bai Yiyi's tone softened and she said gently.
"Thank you Miss Bai for your kindness, but this matter is different from the past. Since the prince asked me to act like a princess in front of everyone, I should have the power to order someone to transform the prince's palace." Su Ranhua said with a smile, his eyes
She was attracted by a black shadow flying behind Bai Yiyi. She had long known that Bai Yiyi kept several pigeons, and occasionally saw them hovering over the palace. Unexpectedly, the large-scale construction work in the dark night actually woke up the pigeons and flew out.
Already.
"Then, it's time for me to congratulate the princess." Bai Yiyi spread a beautiful smile, covering up the strong resentment deep in her heart. I really didn't expect that something like Ye Tingxuan would happen. Not only did Ximen Hao not do anything to Su Ranhua,
She actually allowed her to put on airs? She would rather believe that Su Ranhua was boasting, but since she dared to act so boldly, and even Butler Lin obeyed, it must not be groundless.
