Because Mei Lan had just "taken office", even though she had been personally arranged by Princess Danyang to be responsible for the trivial matters of coming and going to Qishuang Pavilion in the mansion, it was the most legitimate thing for her to do.
But a few days ago, she was the lowest-ranking sweeping maid.
Nowadays, once you gain power, you will inevitably arouse jealousy and envy.
Therefore, Mei Lan always feels that she should not be too ostentatious or high-profile. So I tried my best to maintain my usual behavior, and even became more cautious in my words and deeds, deliberately avoiding getting into crowds of people.
However, due to his responsibilities, he is always with Princess Danyang on weekdays and is responsible for communication.
While he admired the county magistrate's handling skills more and more, he also had his own opinions and various speculations about the situation in Fuzhong.
Therefore, although there was panic everywhere in the house these past two days, she did not follow the worries in her heart like before.
It was just this peace that she couldn't tell anyone. I also felt that after I said it, not many people would believe it, and the most important thing was that I didn't know if it would hinder my princess, so I kept thinking about it.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Mei Lan didn't want to get involved, nor did she want to be the tough, hated "second" Nanny Feng. Therefore, I could only go forward from the corridor on the other side and close the ajar door.
And prepare to return to the backyard quietly.
She's always patrolling the front door anyway. Especially when Princess Danyang is at home, there are more people walking back and forth between the front yard and the back yard.
It doesn't matter if you do something that is easy to do.
At the same time, after Zizhu pulled Nanny Zhou to her room, she immediately closed the door and cried to this kind old man who was like her elder.
"Mommy, what do you think we can do about this?"
Grandma Zhou was so dizzy that she finally regained her footing. Unexpectedly, there was a demonic sound piercing her ears.
She sighed secretly, walked to the square table, poured a cup of tea for herself and Zizhu, and waved for Zizhu to sit next to her. He pushed the tea in front of the other party, moistened his throat and said with a smile:
"What's going on? You're so hot-tempered, you're really on par with what the princess had when she was little."
Aunt Zhou shook her head and sighed with a smile. In order to ease the other party's anxiety, she deliberately joked:
"Is it true that like a master, like a servant?"
Because Aunt Zhou once taught Zizhu, she needs to be the weighing weight for Princess Danyang. That's why when these words reached Zizhu's ears, she blushed and murmured in defense:
"Mommy misunderstood, I was in a hurry. I was a little confused for a moment."
Finally able to sit on the stool, Zizhu seemed to have calmed down a little.
Because of this, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Besides, I just want to learn, but where can I have the princess's courage and courage?"
After Grandma Zhou understood this, she couldn't laugh or cry:
"What happened? After you came back with the princess this time, you were always sighing and worried. The strange thing is that the princess seemed to be in trouble, but the eldest princess was not punished at all. You are also more strict than usual. I asked and refused to say anything.”
Hearing this, Zizhu immediately nervously wanted to explain.
But Grandma Zhou smiled and waved her hands, sighing:
"I didn't say you were wrong. I just wanted to say that these days, I have watched with a cold eye. The princess is more thoughtful than before, and she is more organized and reliable in her affairs."
"Mammy?"
Zizhu was a little confused and didn't know what Nanny Zhou was going to say.
However, Nanny Zhou seemed to have already figured out what she was thinking. She didn't need to ask her in detail, but she smiled and sighed and explained her confusion:
"So. Before you speak, I have a few words to say to you, girl."
When Zizhu heard this and saw Grandma Zhou's serious expression, she immediately corrected her mentality and posture, acted like she was all ears, nodded solemnly and said:
"Please tell me, Zizhu, listen carefully."
Grandma Zhou raised her hand with a smile, touched the top of Zizhu's head, who was more upright than the most serious student in the school, and sighed:
"Mammy taught you before to be the reins and weights of the princess. You are a solid girl, and you have done a good job in this till now."
Zizhu blushed slightly at the praise, smiled silently, nodded, and waited patiently for what Grandma Zhou would say next.
Sure enough, after this summary, the old man has spent most of his life crawling around in the palace. He once again pointed out the general direction that she, a newbie in life, should take in the future.
"But look now. Our little princess has grown up, and she has her own reins and whips, and weighing beams and weights in her heart."
The moment Zizhu heard this, her heart clenched, and at the same time she felt a huge sense of loss, she couldn't help but be happy for Princess Danyang.
So, the little princess in her family who always gets into trouble finally knows how to protect herself, right?
That is to say——
"Princess Princess, we no longer need Zizhu, right? Mammy."
Although Zizhu said this with a smile, the circles under her eyes could not help but turn red, and her heart was uncontrollably sour.
She knew that among all the maids working as servants in the princess mansion, she was by no means the most outstanding, her appearance was not the best, and her intelligence was not the most outstanding. He is not even the most attentive and attuned to his master's thoughts.
Being able to grow up with the princess from childhood to now is probably thanks to her stupid and stupid temperament, right?
Anyway, according to Aunt Zhou who has never made a mistake in front of her, the current Princess Danyang no longer needs her as such a burden.
Although Zizhu was a little confused about her future, her worries about Princess Danyang still prevailed. Just before she was about to change her subject, she would tell Nanny Zhou everything she could and ask her for help.
Aunt Zhou already smiled, shook her head and said:
"You girl, your thoughts are crazy again. When did grandma say that the princess doesn't need you anymore?"
"Then you are, are..."
Zizhu was too nervous to ask, but Grandma Zhou continued talking on her own.
"Yes, the princess still needs you as a girl by her side. But you probably won't be used as a weight in the future. But maybe, life won't be as easy as before."
Mother Zhou said the last sentence so softly that Zizhu almost didn't hear it.
Although she deeply felt that it was much easier than in the past when she had to watch Princess Danyang not to get into trouble or take risks.
But at this time, she couldn't care less to refute what Nanny Zhou said, she could only concentrate on what she said was the most confusing part.
"What do you mean, mama? If I didn't make weights, I would have such an unpredictable temperament, a clumsy tongue, and no talent as a female celebrity..."
Before Zizhu could demote her to the point of being worthless, Grandma Zhou interrupted with a smile:
"In the future, you should be the princess's crutch. As for what kind of crutch you need, it is up to the princess herself to decide."
With that said, Grandma Zhou drank all the tea in the cup and pulled Zizhu to stand up. As he walked out the door, he smiled and said:
"It's good that you worry about the princess. But before seeking help from others, you should first understand your master's thoughts before taking action. Otherwise, half the result with twice the result is better, and the disaster will be irreversible."
"Let's go. Let's go see the princess first. After the princess and I report the business, if you think clearly about what I just said, you still think you should discuss it with me. Then invite me to your place for tea."
