Xiao Tao was also pleasantly surprised. She never thought that the Princess would want her to be a first-class servant girl! She was both happy and touched. She secretly swore in her heart that she would serve the Princess well! The other three first-class servant girls secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Hong relied on the fact that she had a relative working as a servant in the concubine’s palace. She wholeheartedly wanted to suppress them. They were all servants, so she did not know why she was so proud of herself.
The Butler then continued to introduce some of the main servants. Jian Qingqing secretly noted them down, then she said, “Since you have entered my Princess Residence, you are my people. Next, I will write down some rules for working in the residence. I hope that everyone will abide by these rules. Whoever violates the rules will naturally be punished.”
When she said this, everyone’s hearts trembled.
Looking at the fear on everyone’s faces, Jian Qingqing said again, “Of course, there will be rewards too. Whoever does well will receive rewards. I will mention all of these in a moment. I hope that everyone will abide by the rules and regulations of the Princess Residence.”
Looking at the respectful expressions on everyone’s faces, Jian Qingqing finally nodded her head in satisfaction. Regardless of whether this respect came from the bottom of her heart or whether it was pretended, it was fine as long as she did not know that they had bad thoughts, this way, everyone would be better off.
Housekeeper Zhang, Nanny Gui, and the others could not help but admire this Princess who had been conferred the title halfway through. This method of commanding people was really not something that ordinary people could have. It seemed that this Princess was really capable, no wonder she could do such a big thing!
Housekeeper Zhang and Nanny Wu were still fine. One of them was sent by the Emperor while the other was sent by the Empress. Naturally, they respected the Emperor and Empress in their hearts. After being sent here, they also wanted to serve Jian Qingqing wholeheartedly, therefore, when Jian Qingqing was capable, they were naturally happy for her.
However, Nanny Gui was different. Although on the surface, she was with the
Empress, but in reality, she was with Concubine De’s person. Concubine De still wanted her to find out some information from the Princess Residence. It was best if she could control this Princess from a small place, now, this Princess was not as easy to control as she thought. She was angry and anxious, afraid that she would not be able to complete her master’s task.
At night, Jian Qingqing lay on the big and soft bed and slept comfortably. After resting for a day, she had just finished breakfast the next day. Butler Zhang hurriedly came in and said, “Princess, someone has come from the palace.” Jian Qingqing paused and immediately said, “Quickly invite someone in.”
After waiting for the others to come in, Jian Qingqing realized that this was an old acquaintance. It was the eunuch Wang who had gone to Shifeng County to deliver the imperial edict.
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, “I wonder if the Princess still remembers our house?
Jian Qingqing smiled and replied, “Of course. Eunuch Wang, do you want to sit down and have a cup of tea?”
Eunuch Wang shook his head and refused, he smiled and said, “Your Highness, our House has come and gone to deliver the imperial edict of His Majesty. I wonder if the Princess has rested well? If she has rested well, His Majesty is still waiting to see the Princess. His Majesty is looking forward to meeting the Princess very much.”
Jian Qingqing was stunned. She was slightly nervous. She did not expect to meet the person with the highest status in this era. Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, she was not ready yet.
However, she naturally could not refuse this matter. She asked in surprise, “Do you want to go now, or…?
Eunuch Wang smiled. “Of course, the sooner the better.”
Jian Qingqing nodded. “Okay, I’ll go freshen up first before going with you..”
