"Not us?" Xiaoxi tilted her head, not understanding what Gu Qianer meant.

Chang He is in charge of the mansion, besides the princess, who else can punish her?
"She is from the prime minister's mansion, so the prime minister will naturally take care of her." Gu Qian'er reminded.

"Prime Minister?" Xiao Xi's eyes widened, "But the Prime Minister is not in the mansion right now, and we don't know when he will be back. Are we going to let her be so presumptuous during this time?"

"Changhe is just a steward. Since the princess lives in the prime minister's mansion, she is half the master of the prime minister's mansion. It is perfectly normal for a master to punish a slave who has made mistakes. Who dares to object!"

"Furthermore, Changhe belongs to the prime minister after all. If the matter waits for the prime minister to come back to deal with it, there is no guarantee that the prime minister will not protect her."

Xiaoxi said the last sentence a little softly, but it was precisely what she was most worried about.

Regarding Xiao Xi's concerns, Gu Qian'er did not have such worries.

Yu Huaijin is not someone who will cover up for personal gain just because the person who made the mistake is one of his own, on the contrary, he will be more serious and fair.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Gu Qian'er said softly.

Hearing what Gu Qian'er said, although Xiao Xi was still a little puzzled, he didn't say anything, just nodded, and chose to believe Gu Qian'er's words.

It was late at night, but the governor's hall was still brightly lit.

In the room were Yu Huaijin and several invigilators from the examination room. They had been staying here for five full days in order to set the examination questions.

At this time, several examiners held their breaths, and their eyes were all focused on Yu Huaijin who was sitting upright.

"Clap."

With the sound of Yu Huaijin writing, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ink on it dried, Yu Huaijin picked it up and handed it to the examiners opposite.

"Everyone, take a closer look. If there is no objection, this is the topic of this exam."

It was about the selection of talents for the imperial court. The adults dared not be sloppy. Everyone read it carefully from the beginning to the end. They all felt that there was no problem, and finally passed it back to Yu Huaijin.

"Since you all have no objections, then the truth will be presented to the emperor tomorrow. Your lords have worked hard for many days, so go back and rest early."

The prime minister had already spoken, and the adults were not polite, they just said thank you, prime minister, and left one after another.

After everyone had left, Cheng Qi came in from the outside, watched Yu Huaijin seal the prepared test questions with letter paper, and then asked, "Master, do you want to go back home to rest?"

Yu Huaijin shook her head, "It's already late at night, let's rest here for another night, and go back to the residence directly after morning morning, don't bother now."

"Yes."

After the morning court ended the next day, Yu Huaijin didn't let anyone go back to Prime Minister's Mansion in advance to inform him that he was going back to the mansion today, and took Cheng Qi back directly.

Regarding the re-selection of servants for Moyinge, only Xiaoxi who was next to Gu Qian'er came to ask once, and no one came again after that.

Being so obviously targeted by Chang He, Gu Qian'er didn't make any movement at all.

All the servants in the mansion saw this matter in their eyes, even though she was treated like this, Gu Qian'er still didn't say a word, and everyone felt that the princess was really timid, and she didn't dare to say anything after being so angry.

On the other hand, the servants treated Chang He more respectfully than before. The other party dared to treat the royal princess like this, let alone these ordinary servants who were already working under Chang He's hands?

So Changhe lived very comfortably these few days.
-
On the morning when Yu Huaijin came back, Chang He was still eating breakfast leisurely in his room.

In the past few days, the servants in the mansion are vying to please her, and the meals given to her are more delicate and rich than before, and it can be said that the treatment is the same as that of my aunt.

As a result, Chang He had just finished eating halfway, when a little girl hurried in from outside with anxiety and panic on her face.

"Girl, Prime Minister, the prime minister is back, the carriage is almost at the gate of the mansion, you should hurry out."

"what!"

Chang He stood up in shock, with disbelief on his face.

Before the prime minister came back from outside, he always greeted the mansion one day in advance, why did he come back without saying anything this time?
Not only was she not prepared to say anything, but she hadn't picked out the servants at Moyin Pavilion, and the prime minister returned to the mansion at this time, if the princess directly sued her in front of the prime minister, then...

Chang He's face was pale, and he didn't dare to think about the consequences of this matter being known by Yu Huaijin.

Seeing that Chang He was still standing still, the little girl who came to report urged him again, "Girl, why are you still in a daze, hurry up and go."

After being reminded like this, Chang He finally realized it, and hurried to the gate of the mansion after answering.

After walking halfway, Chang He remembered, and asked the little girl beside him, "How is Moyin Pavilion, does the princess know that the prime minister is returning to the mansion today?"

The people next to him quickly shook their heads, "We just found out about this news. There are no servants from the Prime Minister's House in Moyin Pavilion, and few people go there. As far as the servants know, the princess and the maidservants who serve her are all here today. I haven’t been out of the yard, so I probably don’t know.”

Hearing this, Chang He felt a little more at ease, but he still made a special request, "Let those servants avoid going to the Moyin Pavilion today, and even if they do, please give me some peace, you understand?"

The little maid next to him naturally understood why Chang He gave such orders, but she still nodded in response, indicating that she understood.

Only then did Chang He heave a sigh of relief, and headed for the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he found that Yu Huaijin had already got off the carriage.

When he saw Yu Huaijin's face, Chang He panicked and quickly lowered his head, a guilty conscience flashed in his eyes.

But it disappeared quickly, and because it was lowering its head, no one noticed.

Chang He hinted that he was calm, then put on a joyful expression, and greeted Yu Huaijin.

"My lord, why didn't you notify me when you came back? The maidservant could ask someone to make some preparations. Breakfast and hot water are already prepared. Would you like to rest first or have some breakfast first?"

Yu Huaijin didn't have much appetite due to the fatigue accumulated in the past few days, so she planned to go back to rest first, and then eat later.

After hearing this, Chang He replied yes, without saying anything, followed Yu Huaijin silently, and went back to his yard.

Inside Moyin Pavilion, Gu Qian'er stood on the attic, looked at the busy servants outside, hooked the corners of her mouth, turned and went back into the room.

After entering the room, Gu Qian'er told Xiao Xi who was at the side: "Xiao Xi, go to the kitchen and get some snacks back."

"Is the princess hungry? The servant girl is going now."

Seeing that Xiaoxi was about to turn around and go out, Gu Qianer stopped her, "Wait..."
