After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 46 Can only remain silent
Early the next morning, before dawn, Yu Zizhen was awakened by Madam Zhang's knocking on the door.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up, yawned, washed and changed her clothes. After finally finishing cleaning up, Yu Sheng sent the old nanny from yesterday to check whether she was dressed appropriately.

Fortunately, Yu Zizhen was wearing the crown prince's uniform given by the imperial court this time. From inside to outside, from head to toe, from clothes, shoes, socks, to accessories, it was all officially issued. The only thing the old mama could do was to continue. Hang her an oval-shaped jade pendant that allows her to show off her status and wealth in a subtle way.

The jade pendant has excellent water quality and the engraved patterns are also very delicate and spiritual. Yu Zizhen robbed it from her good brother Yu Zicheng. It is the most valuable of all Yu Zizhen's accessories.

I have to say that the old nanny does have a pair of eyes used to seeing wealth.

After thanking the old woman and taking the bite-sized snacks handed over by Madam Zhang, which had been prepared early in the big kitchen, Yu Zizhen took Yao Guang to meet Mr. Jiang.

When Mr. Jiang saw her bringing Yao Guang over, cracks appeared in his originally calm expression. He frowned, "Your Majesty, why did you bring Yao Guang here?"

"Ask her to accompany me into the palace." Yu Zizhen strode to Mr. Jiang's side. "I must go there to pay homage to the Queen Mother. I can't be the only one entering the harem then, right?"

Mr. Jiang is just a staff member and has no qualifications to go as a man to visit a female member of the harem like the Queen Mother, so she must bring someone to accompany her.

"Then you can also take Yu Heng with you."

Yu Zizhen did not agree to the substitution. She said: "She is just waiting outside the palace. She is brave and obedient. She will not cause trouble for me."

Mr. Jiang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "That's the harem."

The women in the harem are very clever. The heir apparent in his family should not only bring up a talented person, he should at least bring up someone with a sane mind, right?

Yu Zizhen walked towards the carriage, "The harem doesn't eat people. Besides, can I still take Yu Heng with me every time? I will always bring her into the palace in the future. How can I do it if I don't practice now?"

Mr. Jiang was stimulated by Yu Zizhen's word "in the future". He couldn't hold it back and told him the news he received last night.

"The princess has chosen a new maid and steward for you, and they are already on their way to the capital. Besides, the prince also brought a servant for you before departure."

Yu Zizhen frowned slightly. Princess Zhenbei was seriously ill, right?
All the servants sent by Princess Zhenbei were packed up and sent back by her, and the commotion was so ugly at that time. Isn't this enough to show her attitude?
She actually chose a new maid and nanny for her. What did Princess Zhenbei think?

If she didn't hold her tightly, wouldn't Princess Zhenbei be so irritated that she couldn't sleep?

She said to Mr. Jiang: "According to the rules of the palace, I can no longer have maids around me after I turn seven. As for the steward, I have decided to use Madam Zhang to manage my little courtyard."

The implication is that for those new arrivals, just let them go back to where they came from.

Before Mr. Jiang could express his objection, Yu Zizhen said again: "It's okay for me to run errands and go out with you. But when I go back to my hometown and enter the palace, I will definitely use Yaoguang and Yuheng."

She is a woman and cannot have servants close to her to serve her. The palace is full of female members of the emperor's family. According to the rules, she cannot bring servants, long-term servants and male guards into the palace.

She gave Mr. Jiang a "you know" look, then raised her short legs and stepped directly onto the carriage on the stool.

Mr. Jiang followed closely behind. He was a little worried about Yu Zizhen's subconscious rejection of Princess Zhenbei. After sitting down, he lowered his voice and said to Yu Zizhen: "But the maid and nanny that the princess has chosen for you should be here in the next two days." It’s the capital.”

Yu Zizhen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and played with her, killing first and then showing off?Ah.She also asked Mr. Jiang in a very low voice, "The maids and stewards chosen by the princess for me, can they be as loyal to me as Xinghua and Ping'an?"

A straight ball hit him, and Mr. Jiang almost had a heart attack from Yu Zizhen's outspoken attitude.

He said in his heart, "That must not be possible." After all, their loyal object is the princess, not the fake prince Yu Zizhen.

But can he say that?
He is not the "Prince of Zhenbei" whose name is Yu Zizhen, whose name has already been revealed to members of the royal family and who is irreplaceable.

As a humble staff member who could be replaced at any time, Mr. Jiang said that he would not dare to get involved in the overt and covert fighting between the mother and daughter.

Mr. Jiang chose to remain silent, because after getting along with each other for this period of time, he had already seen that Yu Zizhen didn't like others to treat her as a fool.

Not daring to tell the truth and unable to tell lies with his eyes open, Mr. Jiang could only remain silent in embarrassment.

Yu Zizhen did not embarrass Mr. Jiang. She said: "I have other uses for the young man and the nanny and maid who have not arrived yet. Don't worry, I will definitely not let them eat for nothing."

Mr. Jiang:
What he was worried about was that it was just a few servants who had free meals in the palace.
What he was worried about was obviously whether the relationship between Yu Zizhen and Princess Zhenbei would deteriorate again because of Yu Zizhen's refusal to cooperate.

Yu Zizhen doesn't care about Mr. Jiang's so-called "big picture". The only premise for her to be honest is that others don't be mean and take the initiative to tease her.

If you don’t chop the claws that have crossed the line, do you want to keep them for the New Year?
The two of them had their own thoughts and came to the palace in silence.

Outside the palace gate, a group of eunuchs and maids who came under orders respectfully welcomed Yu Zizhen in.

Today is not the day for a court meeting. The emperor is already waiting for them in the south study room.

Yu Zizhen, Yao Guang and Mr. Jiang, surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids, walked to the emperor on their legs.

About to meet the target of one of her missions, Yu Zizhen felt a little excited.

Of the two tasks she received from the system, the one that was easy to complete was to protect Xiao Yuanjin, the eldest son of the Emperor of Da Qi.

Xiao Yuanjin was the first wife of the Emperor of Qi. Because his biological mother died young and died trying to save the emperor, he was always raised by the emperor.

Of course, gratitude to the Queen for sacrificing her life to save her was just a superficial reason used by the Emperor to fool the world. The real reason why he kept his eldest son by his side was that if he didn't do this, his son would die in a corner that he couldn't see. .

And the reason why he was in the embarrassing situation of having to use this stupid method to save his son was because he had a scumbag father who was very good at cheating his son.

His father, the late Emperor of Da Qi, was a man who was both infatuated and sentimental.

The manifestation of his infatuation is that throughout his life, he was particularly fond of the current Queen Mother and the then Queen Da Lu. It didn't matter to him whether Da Lu took care of his concubines or assassinated his children.
