Chapter 54 The show of force begins now
  The first thing Nan Suhe did when he returned to Shanglin Garden was to instruct Qiaorui to immediately call all the stewards in the palace to Shanglin Garden.

The huge Chen Prince's Mansion has a wide variety of institutional settings.

The highest level is the general manager who manages all the internal affairs of the palace, that is, Butler Shen.

Below there are attendant offices, accounting rooms, warehouses, kitchens, tea rooms, watch rooms, as well as large and small study rooms, housekeeping, ancestral halls, gardens, manors, horse pens, nursing homes, guard stations...

It can be said that it has everything.

Except for the guard station, which was in charge of Cheng Zhe and who directly took orders from the prince, all other places were managed by the princess.

It is not an easy task to manage the internal affairs of the palace well.

Nan Suhe knew that no one in the entire Prince Chen's palace recognized him as the princess.

But it doesn't matter, everything happens slowly, it's your own, and it's not anyone else's turn to interfere.

The sunshine that day was just right. It was late spring or early summer, and the sunshine already had a dry/hot warmth.

In Shanglin Garden, Nan Suhe was sitting on a stone bench in a high pavilion. Flower tea and snacks were already prepared on the stone table.

Today is the first meeting with these veterans, and it is also the first "battle". Nan Suhe is already ready for a "protracted war".

As the tea hour passed, no one showed up.

"What's going on? Didn't you agree to arrive on time?" Qiaorui kept looking at the intersection and asked Nanny Liu, "Didn't Nanny Liu make it clear?"

"Old slave, I've made it clear." Compared to Qiaorui, Nanny Liu was much calmer, "Maybe it was delayed. I was busy in the morning. Let's wait a little longer."

However, when the time for another cup of tea passed, Qiaorui saw that Nan Suhe's forehead was already sweating a little, but no one was seen at the intersection. Qiaorui really couldn't sit still.

"These guys, they must have done it on purpose! How long will the princess have to wait for such a big sun?" Qiaorui lifted up her skirt and prepared to find someone, "Slave, hurry them up now!"

"Stop—" Nan Suhe raised his eyes and played with the teacup in his hand, "There's no need to go."

"Princess! These people obviously did this on purpose! Who are they? We can't just let you wait like this, right?" Qiaorui said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, people are coming."

As soon as Nan Suhe finished speaking, as expected, he heard the sound of people walking in in twos and threes.

"Princess, please forgive me! You guys are late!"

The person who made the sound was Steward Li from the Attendance Office, followed by several other stewards.

Manager Li and others saluted with their hands clasped in fists, and their waists were bent well. It was just their first meeting, but they did not salute.

Nan Suhe turned the teacup with her slender jade fingers, but she didn't even raise her eyelids.

Manager Li and others no longer looked down upon Nan Suhe, but she was also a princess who had been married to the royal family tree by imperial decree, so without Nan Suhe's response, Manager Li and others should not just get up casually.

Birds were singing and flowers were singing all around, but the sun was getting stronger and stronger. A quarter of an hour later, Manager Li and others were already sweating profusely.

"I dare to ask Princess... are you still blaming the little ones for being late? Please forgive me, Princess!"

Manager Li bowed again while he was talking, taking the opportunity to stretch his body bones that had been stiff for a long time.

"Yes, please forgive me, Princess!" The people around him immediately agreed.

Nan Suhe's eyes flashed.

It seems that Manager Li is quite prestigious among these managers.

When he bows, everyone bows too. What he says is immediately echoed by the people around him. "The princess has just taken over the internal affairs today, and you are so negligent. How do you want us to forgive you?"

Qiaorui couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her.

Manager Li didn't even raise his eyelids, and without even looking at Qiaorui, he directly cupped his fists towards Nan Suhe again:
  "Princess, forgive me! As you know, there are too many things going on in the palace recently, and there are not enough manpower. The maids and servants need to be mobilized at any time, and the young ones really can't get away!"

"Yes, Princess!" The steward in charge of the garden of the ancestral hall immediately agreed, "Princess understands justice well and won't argue with the younger ones!"

"Of course the princess won't, we are all doing it for the prince and Prince Chen's house!" Manager Li clasped his fists again, bent down slightly, with a look of surprise on his face, and glanced at Nan Suhe, "You think so, Princess ?”

Under the veil, Nan Suhe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

These people sang along, asked questions and answered questions, deliberately setting themselves up on the moral high ground.

This is to give yourself authority.

"It's easy to ask my princess to forgive me." Nan Suhe didn't even raise her eyes and continued to play with the teacup in her hand, "Since you're late, just kneel down. How late you are, kneeling twice as long is not too much, right?"

"This..." Manager Li's face instantly showed a troubled look.

"What? Do you have any doubts about what I said?" Nan Suhe instantly raised his eyes and looked at Manager Li.

Meeting Nan Suhe's eyes, Manager Li felt that the air around him felt cold.

He really didn't expect that a princess with an ugly face who had been in confinement for four years would have such eyes and aura.

"Young ones don't dare." Manager Li immediately calmed down and clasped his fists, "It's just that the palace has never punished servants lightly before, and Miss Zhijiang Bi is very good to us elderly people and never neglects them."

"If you do a good job on a daily basis, of course you can take care of me, but Manager Li, today is the first time that the princess has spoken to you when she took over the internal affairs of the palace. If you can't arrive on time and you can't be polite, which one of these two can't make you kneel down? ?”

"Don't say kneeling down, even if I hit you dozens of times, I believe no one in the entire palace would dare to say that this princess handled it too much, right?"

"You are an old man in the palace, and many people respect you. But don't forget, this is the palace, and His Highness is the emperor's son. You are the ones who work for the palace, and the palace needs to be orderly and orderly."

"You are in charge of the valet and manage so many maids and servants. Don't you know how to show respect and courtesy? The palace is not an ordinary palace. What I, the princess, maintain is the royal face!"

Nan Suhe spoke, and then placed the teacup on the stone table with a "pop" sound.

The sound of the tea cup on the stone table may be loud or small, but the sound is very obvious and cannot be ignored.

Nan Suhe's tone was light, and he spoke slowly and eloquently.

Her voice is not loud, but her whole aura exudes royal majesty.

Butler Li looked at Nan Suhe, and felt that the princess's expression, her unhurried tone, and even the medium-sized sound of putting the tea cup were all impossible to ignore.

Even, a chill ran down my spine.

This princess really has two brushes!

She was referring to disrespecting her as being disrespectful to the royal family!

"The princess taught you a lesson!"

After saying that, Butler Li immediately knelt down.

Seeing Butler Li kneel down, the other stewards who followed him quickly knelt down.

Nan Suhe slowly took a sip of tea and asked, "Where are the others?"
