Chapter 19 You are finally here

Liu Fanyin paused for a moment, then came back to her senses and responded, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will definitely live up to her mother's expectations."

Fang Xu smiled, holding a fan to tease Xie Yinyin in her arms, and said as if unintentionally, "You have to see the road ahead clearly. If you fall down, you have to get up from there."

Liu Fanyin's fingertips trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and hummed softly.

The breeze blew by, and cicadas chirped intermittently. The wormwood placed at their feet was burning with a faint light of fire, reflecting on the two of them, and the fragrance of grass and trees drifted to them.

At a moment's notice, Fang Xu was still immersed in sleep.

"Madam." Su Zi held an oil lamp with one hand and gently pushed Fang Xu with the other, "There is news from Prince Zhan's palace that the princess has a high fever."

Fang Xu sat up, braced himself, and whispered, "Pack up and go to the palace."

The first knife today, I wonder whose body it will be pierced?
-
The carriage of the Marquis Mansion stopped steadily outside Prince Zhan's Mansion. Su Zi held Fang Xu's hand and welcomed her out of the carriage.

Fang Xu stepped on the green brick floor and looked upward.

The palace is majestic, with four palace soldiers standing guard at the entrance. The red painted copper door is tightly closed and airtight, like a luxurious cage.

When you enter this place, you are about to catch up with a woman's life.

Fang Xu sighed softly and murmured, "Let's go."

Stepping onto the stone steps, the palace soldiers also spotted the three masters and servants. A man who looked like a leader stepped forward and asked coldly, "Is there any discount if I want to enter the palace?"

"We are from the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and this is the mistress of our Hou Mansion." Su Zi stepped forward, took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it to the man, and said with a smile, "This is the booklet."

The man took it, opened the folder, glanced at it twice, waved his hand back, and shouted, "It's correct, let it go."

Then, he bowed to Fang Xu and whispered, "This is a humble position for me. If I offend you, please don't blame me, madam."

"Nothing." Fang Xu raised his lips and smiled, put his hand on Bai Ji's hand, and comforted softly, "This is your duty, and you did a good job."

"Madam, I will lead you in."

After saying this, the man turned around and led the three of them towards the mansion.

The mansion is very large, with a regular layout. The roof is decorated with a gold-lacquered dragon with its head raised upward. The phoenix standing on one foot is also particularly noble. The eyeballs are inlaid with glass beads, which are dazzling and overwhelming.

Looking at the dragon and phoenix on the roof, Fang Xu narrowed his eyes and made no sound.

Following a flower-shaded path, passing by pavilions and pavilions, we came to a courtyard where there was constant sound of frolics.

The girl's sweet laughter and the man's shouts reached Fang Xu's ears, and even Su Zi and Bai Ji behind him became cold-faced.

"Mrs. Hou," the palace soldier stood still without much expression on his face, as if he was already used to the scene in the courtyard, "Your Majesty has gone to court in the morning. This is the residence of the Princess. You can do as you please."

Fang Xu waved his hand and whispered, "I understand, go down and do your work."

Seeing the fu soldiers walking around the corner, Fang Xu raised his chin towards Bai Ji and said softly, "Bai Ji, kick the door open."

Bai Ji responded, took two steps forward, and kicked down. The originally closed door was kicked open, and the scene in the courtyard came into Fang Xu's eyes.

The yard was a mess. The maids were gathered together. There were sunflower seeds in front of them, and there were smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide in time. At the other end were a few boys, playing with crickets.When the King of War is away, is this how these servants try to fend off Fang Lan?
Fang Xu's temples were pounding, his face was ashen, and he stared at the people in front of him without saying a word.

Hearing the sound, the door of the main room was opened, and the little round face poked his head out. When he saw it was Fang Xu, his big eyes lit up, and his whole person became alive.

"Madam!" The little round face choked up, with a sense of sadness, and ran up to Fang Xu with clattering steps, "You are finally here!"

Fang Xu's eyes twitched and his gaze fell on her face, "Where's sister?"

"It's in the house." The little round face wiped the corners of her eyes and whispered, "The princess has been waiting for you. Please go in with me."

"Don't worry yet." Fang Xu stopped her and looked at everyone.

The little round face was very discerning. When he saw this, he immediately gave the object in his arms to Fang Xu and whispered, "Madam, the princess said that if you encounter trouble when you enter the mansion, you can use this object to dominate the mansion... …protect yourself."

Fang Xu lowered his eyes and saw a jade token lying quietly in the palm of the little round-faced man's hand. There was a word "fu" engraved on it. He thought it should be the steward token of the Zhan Prince's Palace.

Fang Xu curled his lips slightly, took the government order, and weighed it in his hand.

Quite heavy.

Fang Xu cleared his throat, "Since your princess trusted me and handed over the housekeeping rights to me during her illness, I will not let her down."

After finishing speaking, Fang Xu turned his head to look at the two maids behind him and raised his voice, "We are new here, so these servants must not know our rules yet."

"You two, go teach them."

"Yes, madam." Su Zi smiled, took two steps forward, met the blank gazes of the servants, and said in a clear voice, "Our madam is the head mistress of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and is also the princess's biological sister. The princess is ill. Unfortunately, it is difficult to manage the trivial matters in the palace, so our wife was invited to come and take care of the princess's worries."

Bai Ji stood beside her, his delicate little face was no longer lively, but had a serious look on his face, "Yongchenghou Mansion has strict discipline and strict rules. I hope you don't rush into trouble. If I find out, Someone is fishing in troubled waters and wants to give our wife eye drops, don’t blame me for serving with a stick!"

Fang Xu nodded with satisfaction, unable to hide his appreciation.

Fang Xu: Yes, just promote me like this!
Last night, Fang Xu had arranged reasonable errands for the two maids. Su Zi was responsible for playing the sweet face, and Bai Ji was responsible for the sweet face.

When there were those who quarreled and bickered, Su Zidong would calm them down with affection, and when there were those who refused to be disciplined, Bai Ji would strike hard and show no mercy.

Now it seems that it is very effective.

The two maids cooperated with dark faces, which made the people in the yard restrain themselves a little and looked at the two of them with fear.

Su Zi smiled tenderly, folded his hands in front of his belly, and said word by word, "You are so reckless in the main courtyard. This behavior is really inappropriate. As a punishment, I will only punish you by kneeling for two hours. Do you have any objections?"

Bai Ji stood there with a sullen face, and the servants of the palace did not dare to speak even if they were reluctant.

Fang Xu looked at the few people kneeling down, gently twitching the corners of his mouth, ignoring the admiration of the little round face, and walked into the room, leaving only Su Zi and Bai Ji to monitor everyone.

Inside the house, Fang Lan was lying on the bed bored, counting the golden threads on the bed curtain to pass the time.

As soon as Fang Xu entered the room, he saw her half-dead look and couldn't help laughing.

Hearing the familiar voice, Fang Lan immediately looked toward the door. When she saw that it was really Fang Xu, she sat up from the bed with a jerk, "Xiao Xu, you're finally here!"
