The work efficiency of Prince Rui's Mansion is quite high. Less than an hour after Yi Fangfei returned to Yuhexuan, a so-called manager of the Prince's Mansion, a middle-aged man with a mustache, came over with a large group of people.
"Princess, the prince has ordered that this little girl will be assigned to the princess to serve the master's food, clothing and daily life." He pushed out a cute and clever little girl from the group of people and said respectfully to Yi Fangfei.
Yi Fangfei looked at the girl carefully. Although her appearance was average, her eyes were clear and she looked like a simple child, so she nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll accept this girl."
Seeing this, the butler made another gesture to the person behind him.
"Princess, these jade antiques, as well as jewelry, silk and satin are all given to the princess at the prince's command."
Yi Fangfei looked at the pearl agate, gold hairpins, silver flowers, jade bracelets and jade pendants, and pieces of silk and satin on the servant's plate with an expression of astonishment. She didn't expect that Prince Rui would be so generous.
Oh my God, she has become rich. She can live a good life without having to think about how. When she leaves the palace, just taking these treasures with her will be enough for Yi Fangfei to eat and drink for the rest of her life.
She grabbed the pearl necklace on the plate, her eyes showing unexpected joy.
"Princess, the prince told me that the princess should take a good rest. If anything happens, send someone to tell the subordinates, and the subordinates will take care of the princess immediately."
"I know, you go down first. If anything happens, I will look for you." Yi Fangfei waved her hand casually.
"Yes, I'm resigning." The butler winked at the boys and quickly exited Yuhexuan.
At this moment, the only person left in the room was the little girl standing aside and saying nothing.
Yi Fangfei saw that she was a little timid, so she hurriedly smiled and took her hand and said: "Since you are the person next to me in the future, then don't be so outspoken. After all, the time we get together will definitely not be too short. If you are a little girl,
I won't be able to stand being so restrained all the time. Come, sit down and tell me, what's your name?"
"To the princess, my servant, my name is Xiaolan." Her voice was crisp and childish.
Yi Fangfei raised her chin and smiled softly: "In the future, don't call me slave or anything like that. Just call me."
Xiaolan's eyes immediately opened wide.
"Princess, how is this possible? If the housekeeper finds out, the servant will be punished."
"Who's bigger, the housekeeper or the princess?" Yi Fangfei suddenly asked.
"Of course it goes without saying that the princess is older." Xiaolan said in a stronger tone.
"That's right. Since you are the eldest princess, you must listen to me. I said you are not allowed to call me a slave in the future. Otherwise, I will be angry." Yi Fangfei deliberately elongated her face and said seriously.
.
With a plop.
Xiao Lan knelt in front of Yifang Fei with her body trembling.
"This slave knows that I was wrong. Please spare my life, Princess."
"Huh? - Why are you still calling me a slave?" Yi Fangfei's face turned cold.
Xiaolan immediately changed her words: "It's not a slave, it's not a slave, it's Xiaolan. Xiaolan knows she was wrong."
Yi Fangfei knew that people in ancient times had many rules and clear distinctions between classes, so it was okay for Xiaolan to do this. Then she pulled Xiaolan up and said: "Forget it, if that's the case, you can call me that from now on.
"
"Thank you, Princess." Xiaolan's eyes were filled with water.
Yi Fangfei pointed to the jewelry on the plate and said: "Xiaolan, help me put those things away first. By the way, if you have something you like, just pick a few. Anyway, there are a lot of things, and I
Basically, you won’t need it. It would be a waste to leave it alone. It’s better for you to wear it for your eyesight.”
"Princess, this is a reward from the prince, how can Xiaolan take it?" She waved her hands in panic.
Yi Fangfei smiled and randomly selected a pair of jasper bracelets, a phoenix gold hairpin and a pearl necklace, and stuffed them all into Xiaolan's arms.
"Since the prince has rewarded me, it belongs to this princess. I can give it to whomever I want. Don't be so polite to me. Just keep it. Don't lose my face or hurt me.
In that case, you really pissed me off." Yi Fangfei's tone clearly meant to offend her.
"Then Xiaolan thanks the princess for her love." Seeing Yifangfei's expression, Xiaolan dared to gain her face, so she had to carefully collect it.
Seeing the look of joy and gratitude flashing in her eyes, Yi Fangfei knew that she had successfully bought this simple-minded little girl with mundane things.
As the saying goes, if you want to survive well in ancient times, winning people's hearts is one of the necessary methods.
So now Yifangfei knew that her opportunity to ask for news had come. So she looked at Xiaolan with a smile, pulled her aside and sat down.
"By the way, Xiaolan, when I first came to Prince Rui's Mansion, I didn't know many things. You also know that as a princess, if I don't even know my husband well, then my life will be difficult in the future.
.So, so, Xiaolan, can you tell me about Prince Rui?"
"This -" The housekeeper had ordered not to talk to the princess, but Xiaolan hesitated.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Yi Fangfei patted her shoulder nonchalantly and said, "I know the difficulties of being a servant. Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I won't blame you. Go ahead, Xiaolan."
, you go and do your business, I will just walk around this room."
"Princess, it's actually nothing. Xiaolan can just tell the princess. However, the princess must not tell the housekeeper that it was Xiaolan who told the princess about the prince." Xiaolan bit her lip, looking worried.
Yi Fangfei chuckled lightly.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone a word."
"Actually, the thing is like this. The prince is the seventh son of King Ming of the Jinyi Dynasty. However, when the prince was born, he was criticized by the imperial master, saying that the prince was the reincarnation of a lone star of evil spirits. He was born to defeat his parents, brothers, and sisters.
"Being a wife is a lonely life. And I heard from people in the house that the prince is sixteen this year and the deadline is approaching, so the emperor is eager to match the prince with a marriage. But..." Xiaolan rambled on.
He was talking about Prince Rui's affairs, and Yifangfei became more and more sentimental the more he listened.
I didn't expect that beautiful young man to have such a miserable past.
According to Xiaolan's narration, Yi Fangfei basically understood the past of Prince Rui.
Prince Rui, named Wu Fengying, is the seventh son of King Ming of the Jinyi Dynasty. He was born with a curse, so he left the palace and lived alone in a villa on the outskirts of Kyoto. He was raised by the nanny Wang and the Queen's personal maid Cui'e.
At the age of 18, he received enlightenment from an eminent monk and obtained the Cloud Dragon Bracelet, which sealed the evil spirit and returned to the imperial city.
I heard that he was studying Chinese essays at the age of three, was familiar with history books and the art of war at the age of five, knew astronomy and geography at the age of seven, and was able to form formations to kill enemies at the age of nine. He was known as the first child prodigy in the Jinyi Dynasty.
However, such a talented young man was destined to die when he was born, and the death limit dropped when he reached sixteen. So the Queen of Heaven worked hard to arrange the marriage of Prince Rui, hoping that Prince Rui could have a happy last year. But things turned out differently.
Unfortunately, none of the three marriages arranged by the Queen survived the second day, so Prince Rui got a second title in the imperial city - Ghost King.
Everyone said that the bride had come into contact with Prince Rui's evil spirit, which was why the strange deaths happened one after another. Yi Fangfei was the only exception, and she accidentally got into the sedan chair instead.
There is no death.
In this way, it is not difficult to explain the meaning of the nanmu coffin.
Shame!
She never expected that such a bizarre thing would happen to Prince Rui. But in her opinion, it was probably a bizarre coincidence. How could one person be able to kill another person?
She said that it must be that Prince Rui was extremely unlucky, so all the bad luck happened to him alone. The ancient people were very superstitious and believed in the power of ghosts and gods, which also created
This created a situation where everyone was panicked and afraid of Prince Rui.
Thinking of this, Yi Fangfei really shed tears of sympathy for that beautiful young man Wu Fengying.
So miserable!
What a bad luck!
The wife is so pitiful!
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Yi Fangfei looked miserable and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Xiao Lan asked worriedly.
Yi Fangfei smiled bitterly and waved her hand.
"It's okay, I just think it's a bit too--bizarre. Well, it's just too bizarre. Well, go ahead and do your work while I calm down for a while."
"Yes, Princess, Xiaolan has resigned. But Princess, please don't take it to heart. Those things that may not be true are spread by them." Xiaolan left me a faint look in her eyes and closed the door before leaving.
go.
Doesn't she, Yi Fangfei, still know what that girl is thinking?
She was probably worried that she would leave Prince Rui's Mansion after knowing the truth of the matter, so she left herself such a sentence that there was no three hundred taels of silver in this place.
However, for her, there is not much difference between knowing and not knowing. But getting to know the meal ticket boss whom she will spend some time with in the future makes her feel that she will live more comfortably in the future.
of.
Thinking of this, the corners of Yi Fangfei's mouth became wider and wider——
※※※※※※※※
In a flash, it had been three days since Yi Fangfei stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion.
As she expected, Wu Fengying had never been to Yuhexuan once. She thought it was nothing and she could live her life amusingly, but the housekeeper of the palace was more funny.
Every time when dinner was served, she could always hear his editor's lame excuses.
"Your Majesty went to the Shangshu Mansion to attend a banquet."
"Your Majesty went to the palace to meet the Queen Mother."
"The prince has gone to Tianxiang Tower to discuss matters."
"Your Majesty has gone to the Sixth Prince's residence."
…
"Today, the housekeeper is going to make up a reason why the prince is going." Yi Fangfei picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, put it in her mouth, and tasted it carefully.
"Made it up?!" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then said cautiously: "Princess, my subordinates did not make it up. What I said is the truth. Today, the prince went to the prince's residence. I heard that the prince just got a baby yesterday."
As expected of an old fox, he doesn't even blush when telling lies.
Yi Fangfei's eyes flashed, and she smiled mischievously as she looked at the palace butler's serious look.
"I was just joking. Why is the butler so serious? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Xiaolan, eat quickly." Yi Fangfei gave Xiaolan a piece of braised pork.
"Princess—" Xiaolan looked at the mountains of dishes piled up in the rice bowl in distress. How could she finish eating so many dishes? However, she had to accept the kindness of the princess.
So, she bit the bullet and worked hard to get the food into her stomach.
Yi Fangfei noticed something was wrong with Xiaolan's expression as she was immersed in eating. She was confused at first, but after thinking about it, she understood. She teased the housekeeper herself, but she forgot that she had put too much pressure on Xiaolan. At the moment, Yi Fangfei was sweet.
He smiled and said: "Xiaolan, are you full? If you are full, put it down and follow me out to pamper the road."
When Xiaolan heard this, her eyes lit up, but when she saw the corner of her mouth, she immediately put down her rice bowl.
"Princess, Xiaolan is already full."
"Okay, sweetheart, let's go back to the room and change into men's clothes and set off immediately." Yi Fangfei scratched Xiaolan's nose harshly.
"Princess, you are such a bad person." Xiaolan's face turned red and she hurriedly retreated shyly.
The butler's expression flashed at the side.
"Princess, do you want to leave the house?"
"What? I'm still not allowed to go out?" Yi Fangfei turned around, and a cold light fell on the housekeeper's face.
"No, my subordinate is thinking that for the safety of the princess, it is better to bring two guards." There were some drops of water on the butler's head.
"No need, who in this world dares to bully me? Besides, this princess is not that easy to bully." She now has the confidence to speak, because she already has her newly made self-defense medicine with her.
If someone was so blind, she could give them a few poison pills to eat or a few packets of poison powder to apply on them.
Since the princess has said so, what else can the butler say?
So our poor housekeeper could only shut up and stand aside silently, watching helplessly as Yi Fangfei and Xiaolan jumped out of Prince Rui's Mansion with a look of joy on their faces.
