When Danyang saw this, he smiled and nodded, knowing that he had finally defeated the geek in front of him.
After detailing the identity of the "new disciple" Xu Qing would bring in the future, Prince Anyang, and briefly explaining the current status of the Princess Mansion, she asked the other party with a smile:
"What, Master Xu, do you find it difficult? Do you want to let it go?"
Xu Qing glared at Princess Danyang and snorted coldly:
"Little girl, don't use aggressive tactics against me in the future."
Zizhu was unhappy after hearing this and immediately choked:
"You old man! Now that you have agreed to serve our princess as an errand in the princess's mansion, you must not be so rude to the princess in the future!"
Xu Qing chuckled, raised his head and glanced at Zizhu, and said with a wanton smile:
"Didn't you say it was in the future? Right now, it's still today."
"you!"
Danyang raised his hand to stop Zizhu's blushing face, stood up and said goodbye:
"Now that it's been agreed, let Master Xu have a good rest for two days, the day after tomorrow at the latest..."
Xu Qing didn't wait for Princess Danyang to finish speaking. He also stood up, straightened his back, looked down at the petite man in front of him, and said seriously:
"In what capacity do I settle down in the princess's mansion? A living contract or a death contract? Also, this matter only concerns me, my little apprentice," as he spoke, he took Tian Zhuo to his side. Then he said the second half of the key words.
"You are just serving me. It has nothing to do with the Princess Mansion or you, Princess Danyang."
Anyone could tell from these categorical words that there was absolutely no room for change.
When Danyang heard this, he was neither angry nor hesitant. He nodded almost before the words fell and said:
"Yes, and Master Xu doesn't need to sign the deed if he doesn't want to."
The master is free, not to mention Tian Zhuo who followed Xu Qing into the princess mansion.
But is it really such a good thing?
In the first half of his life, Xu Qing would sometimes write silly letters, saying that it was okay to have pie in the sky, but at this age and half buried in the earth, how could he still be so naive?
He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Princess Danyang, and then asked cautiously:
"You really won't let us sign? And you can still come and go to the princess's house freely?"
Danyang smiled upon seeing this, nodded and then added:
"Of course it's true. Once you say it, it's hard to chase it back. It's just a little bit..."
Xu Qing showed an expression that was indeed like this, but it also revealed a little bit of peace of mind.
"Say it."
But what comes after is the point.
Danyang did not defend himself and continued with a smile:
"The two of you must live in the princess's palace, and although there are no restrictions on entry and exit, you must bring the soldiers of the princess's palace with you when you come and go."
Xu Qing frowned when he heard this, and was about to say, "Isn't this just like house arrest? Where is the freedom?!"
But the little girl in front of him didn't wait for him to speak and continued directly:
"This is not to monitor you, master and disciple. Living in the mansion will make it easier for us to communicate with each other, and if someone is there to protect you when you go out, you will be safer."
Tian Zhuo was outspoken and expressed his doubts directly.
"What's unsafe? We have no money, and we have no enemies with anyone." Well, if you don't count the girl in front of you, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Xu Qing glanced at Princess Danyang thoughtfully, then raised his head to check the sky, then turned to look in the direction of the gate of the Princess Mansion and sighed:
"Oh, you mean, the recent assassination of the prime minister on Qingxing Street happened in front of your house?"
Tian Zhuo was stunned when he heard what his master said.
As a servant in a wine shop, he traveled back and forth between the front and back kitchens, so he naturally heard the drinkers talk about the assassination of the prime minister. But he doesn't know or care about what happened to those people in the cloud, and when and where it happened.
Anyway, it won't be in the east of the city, that is, right next to him.
But when it comes to Qingxing Street, he is very enthusiastic about it. People who were born and raised in the capital knew this was a good place for the emperor to divide his residence specifically for his relatives.
He even heard the old people say that when all the mansions on Qingxing Street were overcrowded, there were still officials guarding the alleys, or some government soldiers guarding them.
It would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to just pass by here, let alone take a look.
But who would have imagined that one day he would be in one of the mansions on this street!
At first, Tian Zhuo only vaguely recognized that the person in front of him was the princess, but Tian Zhuo didn't actually have any real feeling. But at this moment, his master accidentally broke through this layer of window paper.
After he was asked to connect the reality in front of him with the reality of the past, the huge impact and stimulation immediately made the young boy freeze on the spot, his eyes widened, and he stared at Danyang in disbelief.
Danyang Zheng lamented that although the man in front of him was strange, he was very alert and very sensitive to all kinds of news in the capital.
Before she could respond to Xu Qing, she suddenly felt as if someone was staring at her closely, making the hairs on her back stand up. When he turned around and saw that it was Xu Qing's young apprentice, he just smiled and persuaded him to continue speaking without taking it seriously, saying to Xu Qing:
"Yes, Master Xu is very well-informed."
Or should it be said that he not only pays attention to various rumors in Beijing, but also seems to know all the news and details everywhere?
When he said this, Danyang was actually thinking of the moment before Xu Qing opened her mouth, after identifying the direction, she accurately looked at the door of her house.
And those actions and eyes shocked her far more than anything else, even Xu Qing's quirks.
After Xu Qing received a positive reply, he changed his previous careless attitude.
Everyone saw his brows furrowed and his eyes half lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
After that, when the atmosphere calmed down, Xu Qing suddenly raised his head and said in an irrelevant voice:
"You already know that I am addicted to alcohol, right? I also like to go to the theater, and then my apprentice will also follow me to study together, so that we can consider this matter settled. How about it?"
Zizhu was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward angrily, gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice:
"Damn old man, don't push yourself too far!"
Not only was he rude to her princess, but now he was uttering arrogant words again and again. Are the people from the Princess Mansion really easy to bully?
But just as she took her stance and put her hands on her hips, Princess Danyang stopped her and taught her a lesson:
"Mr. Xu is the think tank I invited to the government, and he will be my master in the future. No one in the government should be rude. Remember to convey these words to Aunt Zhou tomorrow, and emphasize it with everyone in the governor's hall."
"Also, it will be inconvenient for Mr. Xu to go out to see the theater in the future. Remember to remind me to tell my uncle another day to buy the available people from Lixiang Garden back to the princess's mansion."
Although it was said to be "bought," in fact, because it was related to the assassination, Danyang's words were just a euphemism for "transferring those who are not suspected to the Princess' Mansion to be imprisoned."
Zizhu didn't come back to her senses for a moment. She just stared at Princess Danyang for a long time before she realized the series of instructions she had just heard.
But, when did her princess become so talkative? !
Unexpectedly, just when Zizhu was confused and depressed, but had to bow and respond, Xu Qing on the side also moved together.
I saw the middle-aged man who looked so arrogant just now, with his back straight, suddenly clasped his fists, bowed his hands to the bottom, and gave a dignified gift to Princess Danyang!
