Chapter 267 Someone coming from the palace
"Yes, yes. I'll listen to you, young master." Mrs. Wang was still immersed in joy, her face full of excitement and her eyes full of longing, as if she had already seen a bright future waving at her.
Xiao Wu was a little scared for some reason. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He desperately pulled at Wang Po's sleeves, his voice trembling a little, "Grandma, it's just a personal contract. There's no need to be so anxious, right?"
But Mrs. Wang didn't notice Xiao Wu's strangeness at all. She was only concerned with her own calculations and kept saying, "Yes, yes."
Fan Jingrui was very considerate at this moment. He smiled and said softly, "It's okay if Xiaowu doesn't want to. You can stay with Nanny Wang for a while and get a feel for it. If you really don't like it, just come back. I won't stop you."
No matter how sharp Xiaowu is, he is just a child of eleven or twelve years old, and his thoughts are not that deep after all.
Hearing Fan Jingrui speak so frankly and with such a sincere tone, I temporarily put aside the abnormality in my heart.
"Xiaowu wants to be with grandma." He raised his head and said firmly, his little hands tightly grasping the corner of Wang Po's clothes.
Fan Jingrui had never expected that this was such a filial child. His eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said slowly, "Well, then follow Nanny Wang down!"
"Yes!" Wang Po's grandparents and grandchildren had all stayed in the Fan Mansion before, so they were naturally familiar with the rules and locations of the mansion. They knew where they should stay at the moment, so they quickly retreated.
As soon as Wang Po and her grandson left, Qianxue couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you knew that Wang Po was not a good person, why did you keep Wang Po and her grandson?"
Hearing this, Fan Jingrui glanced at Chu Ci who was also confused, sighed deeply, and said solemnly: “This is the capital.
"And now, there are many people out there waiting to find evidence against us, whether it's true or false. If we're not careful, it will bring disaster to our family."
Qianxue paused after hearing this. Although she knew that what Fan Jingrui said was true, she was still dissatisfied and said, "So we will always be frustrated? I don't accept it!"
Seeing that her eldest brother was unreliable, Qianxue stamped her feet anxiously, and turned her head to look at Chu Ci. "Sister-in-law, you must help us, right?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, and she pulled Chu Ci's sleeve and shook it gently.
Chu Ci smiled dotingly at Qianxue and patted her hand gently to comfort her. Then he turned to look at Fan Jingrui tenderly and said gently, "You should tell me the general plan. Qianxue and Qianyan are grown up and sensible now. They will not hold you back. They also have the right to know what to do next."
Fan Jingrui shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "I really can't do anything to you."
However, it just so happened that just as Jingrui was about to speak, Shuangrui came running over. "Sir, Madam, someone is coming from the palace."
"The person who came said that the Queen heard that our princess didn't have a caring nanny by her side, so she specially ordered someone to carefully select two to send over."
Naturally, Chu Ci and his companions did not dare to neglect this and quickly dressed to prepare for the reception.
But Chu Ci never thought that such a small matter as sending a nanny would be done by the dignified King Qin!
"Your Highness Prince of Qin, didn't you go to the Dali Temple? What happened?" Chu Ci said, pointing at the nanny waiting on the side, his face full of confusion.
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince spread his hands and said helplessly, "Isn't it my mother? She wants to know the developments of the Women's College at all times, but she's also afraid that you'll misunderstand. So here comes my son in handy!"
She pointed at the two maids waiting nearby and raised her eyebrows. "Choose one!"
Chu Ci's eyes flickered when he heard that, with a smile on his face, he asked jokingly, "Just one, can't you have both?"
The fifth prince frowned slightly and pretended to be angry and said, "Cousin, you are still as greedy as ever. This is a female official of the fourth rank. There are only a few of them even in my mother's palace."
Chu Ci did not give up. He still did not give up. He blinked his eyes and continued to fight: "Is it really impossible?"
The Fifth Prince paused after hearing this, stared at Chu Ci, and asked seriously: "Do you really want it?"
Chu Ci nodded without hesitation, and the Fifth Prince changed his tone and said proudly, "Okay, then I'll be scolded by my mother, and I'll take the blame.
After the fifth prince finished speaking, he waved his hand with great momentum.
The two maids who were quietly waiting on the side took a step forward. "Your servant Zhang Ying greets Princess Yixin. I wish the princess all the best. I will serve her wholeheartedly in the future."
"I, Qiao Chi, have met Princess Yi Xin. It is my blessing to have this opportunity to serve the Princess. I hope the Princess can give me more advice."
Seeing the two maids' respectful and peaceful expressions, Chu Ci nodded with satisfaction. "Would you please tell me about your expertise? I can make arrangements based on your expertise."
"I know some martial arts, and I also have the skill of making incense." This is Zhang Ying, she said with a slight bow.
Qiao Chi remained calm and said slowly, "I am good at cooking, and I like to tinker with some beauty and body recipes in my spare time."
What neither Zhang Ying nor Qiao Chi said was that, apart from these, what they were best at was looking at the accounts.
"Is that so?" Chu Ci thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and after weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he said, "Then let Madam Zhang stay with this princess, so that she can take care of her."
"As for Madam Qiao, you will be in charge of the food at the mansion for the time being."
"Once the Royal Academy is open, Madam Qiao will help this princess deal with some simple matters. Of course, this is not absolute."
"Later on, this princess may make some adjustments based on the actual situation."
"You two, is everything okay?"
Before coming, both the Queen and the Fifth Prince had emphasized to the two how important Chu Ci was in the Emperor's heart. The two knew the pros and cons very well, so they naturally dared not disobey: "We will follow the Princess' orders."
As soon as the two maids finished speaking, the fifth prince knew that his mission this time had been accomplished. "It seems that there is nothing for me to do now. In that case, I will not stay and annoy others. Let's go. You don't have to see me off."
After all, judging from the current situation, he is a bit out of control at Fan Mansion! Of course, the Fifth Prince only muttered this sentence in his heart and did not speak it out loud.
After saying that, he turned around and left with a relaxed smile.
It’s just that, although I was mentally prepared, I never expected it to happen so soon!
As soon as he sent the person away, the Fifth Prince learned that his old man had become very smart and reported to the Emperor without hesitation that there was a secret room under his study.
The key point is that this mess finally fell on his head.
Unable to get rid of this matter, the Fifth Prince simply pulled out the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince who were bored in the palace every day, and said that if he had a hard time, then no one else would have a good time.
