Chapter 23 Refused to be Arranged

"Princess, Mother Xu is here." Shiliu walked to Lan Qing's side and said.

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhi brought someone in, and the visitor said respectfully: "My servant Xu Xiu, I have seen the princess."

"Mother Xu, you don't need to be too polite, get up quickly, Lizhi, and help Mother Xu to sit down."

"Thank you, Princess." After thanking her again, Xu Xiucai sat down.

Seeing her seated, Lan Qing said: "I was supposed to look for Nanny during the day, but there are guests in the palace, and I can't see you, so I delayed until now, please forgive me."

"Wangfei is killing your servants," he stood up and bent over to show respect, and continued: "I don't know what the so-called Wangfei is looking for slaves?"

"You're welcome, Mammy, please sit down." Seeing that the person sat down again, he continued, "It's nothing, I just want to ask, what did Mammy do in the past?"

"Thank you, princess, for your concern. The slaves used to serve the old princess, that is, the prince's biological mother. Later, the old prince and the princess passed away, and the slaves followed the prince into the palace. When the prince was 15 years old, he left the palace to build a mansion. The slaves So I have been working in the palace, the servants are not well in the past two years, the prince sympathized with the servants, so he sent the servants to go to the village outside the city to recuperate, and they came back two days ago." Madam Xu sat on the seat, her body was slightly slightly when she spoke. Leaning forward, his demeanor expressed respect for Lan Qing, who is a princess.

When mentioning Huo Chenxiao's deceased parents, Madam Xu's expression was obviously downcast, and the sadness in her eyes did not seem fake. Presumably, the old concubine treated her very well when she was alive.

"Is the mother all right?" Lan Qing asked.

"It's natural. The prince not only asked people to find a doctor for the servant, but also sent people to visit him from time to time. This kindness, the servant will remember it in his heart, and he will never forget it for a while. A few days ago, the doctor said that the servant is already well, so he let the visit Someone from someone sent a message to the prince, hoping that the prince can let the slaves come back to serve him, and the prince agreed, so the slaves came back."

When talking about Huo Chenxiao, Madam Xu's eyes were full of relief and joy, and there was also a little pride in her. It could be heard that she loved the prince as her own child.

"Mommy, did the lord ever say, what are you doing in Xinlan Courtyard?" Lan Qing continued to ask.

"My lord said, you are still young, and you came from a long way. You are afraid that other people will not serve you well, and you are afraid that those maids and slaves will make your life uncomfortable, so you specially let your servants come over. Serving your food and living, and helping you with the affairs of the palace; secondly, the servants were fortunate enough to stay in the palace before, and the servants know some of the rules and etiquette in the palace. You have just married, and the son is still a child. I'm afraid they are not familiar with the rules and etiquette, so please also learn the rules from your servants and your son."

The words are beautiful, but the business-like indifference in her eyes can't deceive people. It seems that she has a lot of opinions on her...

Knowing this Madam Xu's attitude, Lan smiled lightly and said, "Then I will trouble Madam Xu to teach me and the eldest son the rules in the palace. You don't need to come over to serve, you are old, you should rest more, this etiquette, let's wait until the master enters the mansion to teach."

When Mother Xu heard this, she frowned and said, "My lord, the lord has ordered your slaves to take care of your daily life. If you don't do so, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of what? Mama might as well speak up." Lan Qing asked humbly for advice.

Grandma Xu didn't know how to answer the words for a while, and seeing the ignorant and ignorant look on Lan Qing's face, it really made her confused for a while.I don't know if I should explain...

Lan Qing saw Madam Xu's hesitant look, she still had a sincere look on her face, but she was disdainful in her heart, the unfinished words were all threats, why did she feel that she would be afraid?
Originally, he wanted to live in peace and the well water would not interfere with the river water, but unfortunately, he insisted on sending people over several times to test it out, and now even such a well-known nanny has been sent to her side. Unlike ordinary people, she will be scruples and have people come to her side to serve?Or do you want to teach her a lesson when she rejects this nanny?
Unfortunately, she is not at the mercy of others.

Seeing that Mammy didn't answer, Lan Qing spoke first: "Since Mammy is fine, let's go down and have a good rest."

"Princess, if the lord knows that the slave has not served you well, I'm afraid the lord will blame the slave." Madam Xu said quickly.

"No, if the lord asks, I will bear the responsibility alone. Besides, the lord respects you so much, and won't blame you for such a trivial matter. It's enough for me to have lychee and the others to serve you. From now on, you only need to Just be responsible for etiquette teaching."

Seeing that Mammy Xu still wanted to speak, Lan Qing made a final decision: "Okay, let's make this decision. If Mammy thinks it's not right, then I can ask the prince to talk to me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to answer, he got up and went back to the bedroom.

When Mother Xu saw this, she knew that the princess had made up her mind not to be served by her. Thinking of what the prince said before she came to Xinlanyuan, it seemed that this princess was really not like what the rumors said, she should pay more attention on weekdays... …

It was already Haishi, and the imperial study room was still brightly lit.

Jing Shengan was lying in front of the book case, concentrating on reviewing the memorial, and there were two stacks of memorials waiting to be reviewed on the left hand side.

"Your Majesty, drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea and rest for a while." Li Fu walked to the desk with a tray and said respectfully.

"Let it go, I'll drink it later." Jing Shengan said without raising his head.

Hearing this, Li Fu didn't put the tea on the table, but stood quietly aside while holding the tray.

After a while, Jing Shengan put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and moved his shoulders and arms. Seeing this, Li Fu hurriedly served the tea, and took out the envelope in his arms to His Majesty, while he stood He squeezed his shoulders for His Majesty.

"Is this today's news?" Jing Shengan put down his teacup, picked up the envelope and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Fu replied, seeing His Majesty unfolding the letter, he quickly put down his hand and stood a little further away with his head down.

After a long time, Jing Sheng'an read the contents of the letter, and ordered: "Li Fu, the morning court will be over tomorrow, and the Minister of Xuanhu, the Minister of Rites, and Lin Su, the Marquis of Yongzhong, will come to the imperial study to see me."

Although his tone was calm, the bulging veins on his hands and the crumpled letters all showed the anger in Jing Shengan's heart at this moment.

"Yes." Li Fu raised his head, and saw the anger flashing in His Majesty's eyes. When his dark and deep eyes swept over, Li Fu froze for a moment like a prey stared at by a fierce beast.

Fortunately, His Majesty quickly averted his eyes, closed his eyes, squeezed the center of his brows with his right hand, and when he opened his eyes again, he returned to his usual gentle and majestic appearance.

Li Fu was startled into a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to mention the secret letter anymore, so he walked up to Jing Sheng'an: "Your Majesty, it's getting late at night, and we have to go to court tomorrow, so let's rest earlier."

After reading the letter, Jing Sheng'an was not in the mood to review the memorial again. Hearing Li Fu's words, he didn't insist anymore, and went back to the bedroom to rest...
