Princess Anle had just walked out of the door when she saw the housekeeper leading a group of servants in. Before Mingzhu could understand what was going on, the housekeeper had already walked in front of Fang Mingzhu, while the servants behind him raised their eyebrows respectfully.
He bowed his head and stood on both sides. Mingzhu was surprised:
"Butler, what are you doing?"
The housekeeper looked at Mingzhu with a smile on his face:
"Miss Mingzhu, now that you are the princess's guest, you don't have to be so polite when talking to me."
Mingzhu understood. It turned out that Princess Anle's attitude towards her had reached the ears of the housekeeper. The world was really in a bleak state. Not long after, the housekeeper's attitude made a 180-degree turn. But that's okay.
, if the housekeeper is willing to take him seriously, then his activities in the princess mansion will be much more convenient in the future.
The butler spoke again:
"These servants are all sent by me to serve the girl. You have met Miss Fang."
"I've seen Miss Fang." the servants said in unison.
Mingzhu secretly smacked her lips. Although she was born into a rich family in modern times, she had never enjoyed such a large number of servants. Now she was just a higher-level part-time worker in the princess's mansion, and she was treated like this.
A large crowd of people are waiting for me. What a grand occasion it will be if one day I can really become a general and a general.
The butler continued:
"I have also ordered people to tidy up the house where the girl lives. It will be tidied up in a while. I can take you there to have a look first. If you don't like the place, I will change it for you. If you feel that there is something missing
, just tell me directly, don’t be polite.”
Mingzhu felt more and more strange:
'The attitude of this butler is also very good. After all, he is the butler of the princess's mansion. In this princess's mansion, he is a person who is inferior to one person and more than ten thousand people. So even if he is accepted by Anle now, he does not have to be like this.
When you treat someone with courtesy, you must ask for something. It is better to find out his details first and see what he is planning. You can save yourself from being accidentally led into a pirate ship by him.'
Mingzhu made up her mind and smiled at the housekeeper:
"I'm really sorry for making you bother so much. Do you think this is okay? Let's go to the house first and have a look. These people won't follow us."
Mingzhu clearly saw that when she asked to be alone with the housekeeper, the housekeeper's eyes lit up. It seemed that she was not wrong. He really had some purpose that he did not want others to know.
The housekeeper dismissed everyone first, and then said to Fang Mingzhu:
"The girl is indeed very smart. The servants in the princess's residence are mixed, and it is inevitable that some of them have evil intentions. Therefore, when we talk, we should avoid them."
Mingzhu smiled and followed the housekeeper out of the house, walking in the other direction while saying:
"I'm new here and I'm young, so I have to ask the housekeeper for advice on many things."
"Don't take advice seriously. As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Although our princess is not an emperor, she is almost the same as the current emperor in all aspects. Therefore, we do need to be extra careful." The housekeeper said.
Mingzhu knew that the butler was about to get to the point, so she didn't interrupt and just waited quietly for the next sentence.
The steward continued:
"I heard that from now on, the princess's clothes, jewelry, and precious toys will all be taken care of by the girl, so I ask the girl to support me..."
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Mingzhu already understood:
'I see. It seems that purchasing these things for Anle has always been a relatively large expense in the princess's mansion. And Anle's life is extravagant and spends money like water, which just allows their subordinates to take advantage of it and reap the benefits. It's really useless.
Thinking that he had unintentionally got the most lucrative job in the princess's house, no wonder the housekeeper's attitude was so good. I am afraid that firstly, he was worried that Mingzhu would find out about his previous benefits and tell Anle, and secondly, he was afraid that Mingzhu would control him in the future.
His death completely cut off his financial resources. That's why he actively tried to win over Mingzhu.'
Mingzhu understood the ins and outs of the matter and came up with countermeasures. Originally, she didn't come to the Tang Dynasty to get rich. Once she got the colorful clothes and feathers, she would return to modern times, so it didn't matter how much money she got now.
I can't take him back. In this case, it's better to be a favor. Moreover, if you want to stay in the princess mansion and further control Princess Anle, helpers like the housekeeper are indispensable. So, Mingzhu said:
"I understand what the housekeeper means. Don't worry. We will naturally discuss the future matters together."
What the housekeeper wanted was Mingzhu's words. Now that he agreed to it, he felt happy and flattered Mingzhu even more.
Just when Mingzhu and the housekeeper were looking at the house together, the banquet in the front hall had reached its climax. At this time, an uninvited guest came to the table - it was Linzi King Li Longji!
Li Longji's eyeliner has been conveying news to the outside world. When he heard that Fang Mingzhu had easily gained Anle's trust and was invited to stay at the Princess Mansion, he couldn't help but feel shocked:
'This Fang Mingzhu actually coaxed Anle into being so effortless! Her methods are really extraordinary.'
Now Li Longji has only one thought - no matter what, he cannot let the Fang family and Queen Wei's faction form an alliance, because if that happens, there will be no hope for his throne.
Li Longji's appearance did not surprise Anle. In her eyes, this royal brother was just traveling around and having fun.
Li Longji sat next to Anle, looked at her carefully for a long time, and exclaimed:
"The royal sister is unusually beautiful today."
Anle chuckled:
"Brother Huang has almost collected all the beauties in the world, how can I still fall into your eyes." Although he said this, it was obvious that Anle was very proud of himself.
Li Longji still looked at Anle:
"The imperial sister's outfit is great, but it's a pity that the hairpin doesn't match it very well."
"Indeed, I have already ordered people to build it."
"The imperial sister's dress does not look like that of a Central Plains person, but rather resembles a beauty from Persia. I am afraid that the jewelry from the Central Plains is not worthy of it. I have seen some Persian jewelry earlier. I will draw you a picture later.
Just order them to follow suit." Li Longji said deliberately casually.
But the more careless An Le became, the more anxious he became. She simply took the wine glass from Li Longji's hand:
"Oh, my dear brother, you are so worried about me, why do you want to turn around? Are you going to draw it for me now?"
"Now that I'm painting it for you, you don't have anywhere to find a craftsman. This kind of Persian jewelry cannot be made by craftsmen in the Central Plains."
"The craftsman who can make jewelry is in the house right now. Once you draw it, let her make it right away."
"Okay, I'll draw a picture after I finish drinking."
"Good brother, would you like to draw first?" An Le refused and began to act coquettishly, "How about this? You go and draw the pattern for the craftsman now and ask her to drink wine immediately. I will make up for you tonight.
