Chapter 79 The New Nanny
When saying this, Ji Yunqing looked worried, but he was actually paying attention to the expressions of several people.
Xuancao immediately started to think: "Master, since the prince has spoken, there shouldn't be anyone who pretends to obey but actually disobeys, right?"
Ji Yunqing laughed: "Hemerocallis is good, she can even use the phrase lip service, she has really improved a lot."
Hemerocallis was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and said, "That's true."
Xiuqiu couldn't bear to watch, so she took a step forward and said with concern: "Don't talk about those nonsense, Master, don't worry, I will never betray you!"
"I feel relieved." Ji Yunqing held Hydrangea's soft and delicate hands. Hydrangea was good at needlework, so she paid great attention to hand care, and it felt very comfortable to touch.
She looked at the other three people: "I have known you all since I entered the mansion. We have been together through ups and downs for several months. I believe in you..."... What the hell
What she just said was that she was worried that someone would leak the news, but she didn't say whether it was someone on the prince's side or on her side. However, Xiuqiu immediately thought of showing her loyalty.
If this isn't a guilty conscience, what else could it be?
But that’s not necessarily the case. What if someone is just that sensitive?
Ji Yunqing is not a psychologist, nor is he an expert in palace fighting, so he really cannot make such a difficult analysis.
She silently noted it in her mind.
Then there are Hong Xing and Hong Dou...
If she had seen it correctly, Hong Xing was panicked for a moment, and Hong Dou didn't dare to look at her. Who did these two little maids belong to?
But in just a moment, they all looked happy for her, and it was obvious that they were truly loyal servants.
Ji Yunqing's mind was full of thoughts, but his face remained calm: "I am worried about the people on the prince's side.
There are only a few of them in our courtyard. They hang around under everyone's noses every day. They are never alone. Who doesn't know who? "
Are you worried about the people on the prince's side?
"Alas, but don't worry too much. Didn't the prince say that whoever leaks the news will be punished? By then, I'm afraid even my family members will be implicated.
It is said that the imperial court has a law that can punish nine generations of a clan. Since the prince is the emperor's son, there is no guarantee that he will also use this method. If the time comes, he will also implicate nine generations of a clan.
The parents and elders at home are already very old, but they still have to lose their lives because of a few words from the younger generation, or even a small reward. "
As Ji Yunqing spoke, the expressions of the people in the room kept changing, and Ji Yunqing kept them all in mind.
Alas, house fighting is so difficult!
She's really not cut out for this.
Ji Yunqing racked his brains to use threats and inducements, and finally repeated the schedule again, and only then did he feel a little relieved.
Hope it helps.
Really, with her IQ, she has tried her best to keep the fact that she is pregnant a secret until now. Now it all depends on luck.
Early next morning
After breakfast, Ji Yunqing saw Shi Yan, the number one lackey of King Zhao, followed by an elderly woman.
"Master Ji, this is Nanny An, whom the prince specially asked me to invite back. Nanny An will be responsible for taking care of you from now on."
Ji Yunqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch Shi. I am sorry for your trouble."
As she spoke, Hemerocallis at the side quickly stuffed a bulging purse into his hand. Now that the master had money in his hands, he felt richer.
You actually dare to reward your servants!
Eunuch Shi pinched the purse in his sleeve; it was hard, and he smiled even more contentedly.
It was really not easy. Eunuch Shi couldn't help feeling a little proud that he could receive the reward from the "stingy" concubine Ji in his lifetime.
He is also promising!
However, when he thought that the money was given by his master the prince, Eunuch Shi felt a little guilty. Is it okay for him to take some money?
After sending Eunuch Shi away, Ji Yunqing turned his attention to Nanny An.
The Nanny An in front of him was wearing a neat set of clothes and carrying a bundle. There were many silver threads in her hair, but it was combed meticulously.
He straightened his back and knelt down to salute without being servile or arrogant: "Greetings to Master Ji."
He looks like a decent person.
Ji Yunqing took a few looks, then smiled and stepped forward to hold the person back: "Madam An, there's no need to be so polite."
"It is fate that you and I meet in this palace. To be honest, I am in need of a smart and capable maidservant by my side!"
Nanny An followed her across the threshold and looked at her new master silently.
She was wearing half-new, half-worn casual clothes, had a friendly temperament, and her eyes were curved when she spoke. Although she was not very beautiful, she was very pleasing to the eye.
After a while she discovered that it was not easy to get close to this new master, and that he talked too much.
Half an hour later, the new master went from "I heard from the prince that Madam is very smart and capable, with extraordinary abilities" to "Where is Madam's hometown? What do people there usually eat?" and then to "Madam, since you are here, treat this place as your home."
To be honest, everyone in the palace used to be very careful with their words and actions. Many people spoke less than the new master in just a short while in a month.
But she had just arrived and it was difficult for her to say anything.
Maybe the prince likes this type?
Nanny An has lived in Shouzhuyuan since then. When she saw the vegetables in the yard and the ugly stove in the open space, she was extremely confused.
"What is all this?"
Hongdou was watering the vegetable patch diligently, "Mammy, these are the vegetables grown in the yard."
"Why are you planting these?" Nanny An had been in the palace since she was a child and was not very familiar with this kind of vegetable garden.
"Eat them!" Hongdou said naturally, "When the master is grounded again, these dishes are all good stuff!"
"..."
Nanny An didn't move, and Nanny An was greatly shocked.
What do you mean by being grounded again? Can't you just be fine and not be grounded?
Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly found a master and a servant standing at the door.
Nanny An shut up immediately. She had only been there for a few days and didn't know much about the situation in the mansion.
He motioned Hongdou to go and see.
Hongdou looked up and immediately shouted crisply, "Greetings to Master Mei. My master is taking a nap at noon. Master Mei, is there anything I can do for you?"
Mei Shi Concubine approached slowly. Nanny An felt a gust of fragrant wind blowing towards her nose, and then she heard Mei Shi Concubine laughing and saying, "Don't worry, I'll wait until she gets up. Tell her to have a good rest. It won't take a while."
Afterwards, Nanny An keenly noticed that Master Mei's eyes were on her.
"This old lady is..."
At this time, Hemerocallis heard the noise and walked out of the room. Hongdou, who was about to answer, took a step back.
Xuancao smiled and said respectfully, "Master Mei, this nanny is the housekeeper nanny that the master asked the prince for."
Concubine Mei came here just to find out the news about the nanny who suddenly appeared. She suspected that there was something wrong here.
"Why did the prince give a nanny? Speaking of which, I always fail to manage the yard.
Unlike Sister Ji's place, where everything is always in order and there are maids like Xuancao in charge, why don't you trouble Madam to take care of my courtyard for a while?"
