"Sister, are you very boring?" Fang Xu sat down on the bed with a smile, an indulgent look on his face.
"That's right!" Fang Lan looked at her angrily and played with the ends of her hair, "It's not easy to pretend to be sick."
"Princess, you didn't see how Madam dealt with those evil slaves just now!" The little round face was full of interest, and she told Fang Lan what happened outside with a look of admiration.
Fang Lan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Fang Xu with astonished eyes, "Xiao Xu... you are so powerful?"
"They are just a bunch of unscrupulous slaves." Fang Xu shrugged and said calmly, "My sister has a good temper, so she will let them compete with each other."
She used to live in a villa and had twenty or thirty servants. There were always some people with dirty hands and feet who came in. These matters were dealt with professionally.
Fang Lan lowered his head slightly and sighed softly, "Most of the people in my courtyard...are the people installed by the concubine. They don't care about me, and I can't raise my momentum."
"Aren't I here to help sister solve her problems?" Fang Xu patted her hand in a comforting manner and asked softly, "Sister, just lie down and eat well these days. I will take care of the rest of the trivial matters. After three days, , sister, will you come back to check the results, okay?"
Fang Lan pursed her lips and smiled, her little pear sinking deeply, "I have given the housekeeper's order to you, you can do whatever you want."
"Only one thing," Fang Lan put away her smile, her eyebrows full of worry, "the concubine is the prince's biological mother after all, Xiao Xu needs to take some considerations into account before doing anything."
"Of course I know, don't worry, sister." Fang Xu nodded, and then lowered his voice as if he thought of something, "It's just sister... When I came here just now, I saw a dragon and a phoenix hanging on the roof of the palace. The King of War, he …”
Fang Lan was not a fool, and the few words she had spoken up to this point already made her understand the meaning.
"I can't tell what the prince is thinking..." Fang Lan bit his lower lip and whispered, "When the late emperor was still alive, the prince and the one above were rivals, and they fought fiercely."
"Your Majesty has great military exploits. Your Majesty is talented and knowledgeable. The late Emperor chose Your Majesty and made it clear that Your Majesty will be your assistant." Fang Lan grabbed her hand, thought about it for a moment, and said slowly, "I remember that at that time, the old concubine fainted from crying. Went to the palace and made it very embarrassing."
"As a man, the Emperor is naturally taller than me. Even if I can see things, he must have known that it is not a good thing for Queen Zhan and her son to act in a high profile." Fang Xu made a cold face and held Fang Lan with his backhand. He said seriously, "In this case, sister must make plans for herself first."
"Sister, you should put the overall situation first and don't tie yourself down for small feelings."
Fang Lan sighed softly and nodded in agreement, "I already know about this and will arrange it quietly."
"Madam." Su Zi's voice came from outside, with a hint of coldness, "I found a maid trying to escape from the main courtyard."
"Sister, lie down, I'll be right back." Fang Xu gave her a comforting look, got up and walked out of the house.
Fang Xu's slender back fell into Fang Lan's eyes, which made her feel more secure.
Walking into the courtyard, Fang Xu saw the maid.
The maid was pinned to the ground by Baiji, struggling restlessly and shouting heartbreakingly, "What are you doing? I'm Grandma Cui's person, let me go!"
"Aunt Cui?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes, "This is a new character that I have never heard of."
The maid raised her head and met Shang Xu's eyes. The latter's eyes were sharp, and the aura around her made her heart tremble, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Keep your head up."
Fang Xu's voice rang in her ears, and the next moment, her chin was lifted violently.
Fang Xu sat on the wooden chair brought by the little round face, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and said with a smile, "Who is the Aunt Cui you are talking about?"
The maid moved and gritted her teeth and said, "Mother Cui is the most popular person in front of Concubine Sun. Let me go quickly!"
"The celebrity...is it?" Fang Xu lifted the lid of the tea and blew the tea leaves in the cup, his eyes dim and unclear, "Su Zi, go and invite this celebrity."
"yes."
"If she doesn't cooperate, we'll find an excuse to lift her up." Fang Xu slowly sipped her tea, the heat rising on her face, making her expression unclear, "I would like to take a look, Madam. What kind of servant dares to tease the princess like this!"
Su Zi moved quickly, and within just a moment of burning the incense, he led several servants back to the courtyard.
Four servants were carrying a bamboo shelf, on which lay a plump woman. The woman was slumped on the shelf, half-squinting her eyes, and when she saw Fang Xu's figure, she immediately opened her mouth and began to scream.
"Ouch... Ouch... Slow down, my old waist..."
Fang Xu had a smile in his eyes, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He ignored Grandma Cui's coy pretense and drank tea by himself.
The tea leaves in ancient times were pure and even better than the modern iced American tea. Fortunately, I drank tea often before, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to adapt here.
Seeing that Fang Xu ignored her, Grandma Cui was not embarrassed and continued to cry.
Until she ran out of energy to cry again, Fang Xu also raised his head and asked with a smile, "Have you cried enough, grandma?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Aunt Cui's face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I have met Madam Yongchenghou, but I am in poor health and cannot salute. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter." Fang Xu waved his hand and smiled extremely generously.
Seeing the madam's signal, the maid Baiji, whose face was swollen into a pig's head, walked out from behind.
"Spirit?" Grandma Cui was shocked and subconsciously sat up from the bamboo stand, "Why are you like this!"
"Mommy... wuwu mama" the spirit was beaten to the point where she could not speak clearly, and her face was extremely painful, "Mommy, help me..."
"Listen to this little girl, I am fifty-two this year and have only one son. Now she is working as a handyman in the palace?" Fang Xu lowered his eyes and stared at the tea leaves in the cup. The corner of his mouth raised a slight arc, as if he said unintentionally, “Mother and son depend on each other for life, it’s really touching.”
When she heard that Fang Xu had moved out her son, Grandma Cui's expression remained unchanged, her chin raised, her eyes full of disdain, "I'm afraid Madam's calculation is wrong, I won't accept this."
"Really?" Fang Xu was stunned, not hiding the surprise on his face, "Even if he becomes like this, is grandma still so arrogant?"
The next moment, a man with blood on his lower body was thrown out by Baiji.
Bai Ji fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound. Bai Ji didn't look at him. He took the handkerchief from Su Zi with a look of disgust and wiped his hands carefully.
"Great country!" Aunt Cui was shocked. She didn't care about pretending to be sick anymore, rolled and fell from the bamboo frame, and crawled to the man's side using her hands and feet.
"Like mother, like son." Fang Xu had an easy-going smile on his face, but his words were cold and cold, "I just asked him to come for tea with good intentions, but he openly insulted me and even She said that my wife's sister Zhan Wangfei was a hen that didn't lay eggs, so I got angry and gave her a small punishment."
"Aunt Cui is so upright, she shouldn't be angry with my wife, right?"
