Danyang's words were of course knowingly asked. In her previous life, Xu Qing did not hesitate to cause chaos in the capital in order to speak to her uncle, Emperor Xuande.
However, now that he has this first-come-first-served opportunity, will Xu Qing be willing to not even see him once?
If she is unwilling to do so, she will have to "adapt measures to local conditions" to avoid causing more troubles in the future.
Xu Qing thought for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Princess Danyang, and said straight to the point:
"You didn't allow me to see His Majesty, but you brought me into the palace with you, just to let me see it for real. As long as you want, you can definitely make my wish come true. And this trip is not only to eliminate my last doubt, You also want to test my patience, right?"
Danyang smiled, nodded, and said frankly:
"That's right, Master has a thorough and comprehensive view, and he is worthy of being the person I chose. What about your decision?"
Xu Qing slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his forced smile seemed to squeeze out bitter juice.
"Now that the matter has come to this, do I have any other choice? But, princess, what do you want to do? Or perhaps the question should be, what can I do for you in this palace."
Danyang narrowed his eyes in relief, it was easy to talk to smart people.
"It's not a big deal, it's not too difficult, it's just trivial. But for Mr. Xu, who has managed the princess's mansion in an orderly manner in just a few days, it probably won't be a big deal."
When Xu Qing heard this, the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious. But the excitement of being praised by Princess Danyang still made his back straighten up straighter.
After he laughed happily, he spoke with a clear head.
"Thank you for your compliment, Princess, but if you don't get back to business, I won't dare to follow you into the palace."
As soon as the half-truth and half-false words came out of his mouth, Danyang said slowly and calmly:
"As Master Xu sees it, although I am almost sixteen, I have not yet reached the age of haircut. In less than a month, it will be my birthday."
As he spoke, Danyang smoothed the two small buns on his head. And when he finished speaking, he sighed softly, as if he was lamenting that time flies by easily and appearance grows old easily.
Xu Qing was speechless for a while looking at the cute and childish little girl in front of her, who looked like a porcelain doll that could leave fingerprints at every touch.
But in a second thought, he suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Princess Danyang in disbelief.
Hiss, no way!
Although he seemed to have some understanding, he really didn't dare to be sure of the conjecture in his mind. So he just took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"so?"
Danyang put down his hand and smiled.
"Master Xu has already guessed it, right? Yes, I would like to ask Master to hold a grand haircut ceremony for me in the palace."
Xu Qing was a little dazzled for a moment. He didn't know whether he was overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility thrown out by Princess Danyang like a joke, or whether he was dazzled by that bright and bright smile.
"Are you serious?"
Xu Qing held his head and murmured a question, but before Princess Danyang could answer, he laughed bitterly.
Even though he prides himself on being bold and informal, he had to admit that he was resigned to the little princess this time. And when did she tell herself a joke?
Princess Danyang's image of being true to her word had already been deeply imprinted in Xu Qing's heart when the order to bring him into the palace was given today.
Therefore, without waiting for the words to fall to the ground, Xu Qing raised his hands and rubbed his face violently, then immediately raised his head to look at Princess Danyang, and at the same time nodded and said sonorously:
"Okay, I'll take the job. But..."
Danyang raised his hand and waved it lightly, laughing softly:
"I know that you are fully responsible for the specific errands and arrangements, as long as there are no mistakes. As for the place and manpower, I will prepare them for you."
When he finished speaking, a sly smile flashed across Danyang's eyes.
Although one of the key errands had been settled, Danyang frowned slightly in the next moment.
"Oh, by the way. There is one more little thing that I need to ask Master."
As Danyang spoke, he raised his head and looked at Xu Qing with a slightly probing gaze.
At this time, Xu Qing was concentrating on searching and sorting out the known procedures of the hairpin ceremony in his mind, and thinking about where to go to supplement the royal rules and related practices, when he suddenly heard a voice asking for advice in his ear.
After he was stunned for a moment, he realized belatedly that Princess Danyang's opening of her mouth again was not to make a request, but to "ask for advice."
Of course, even if Xu Qing was not smart, he would not take Princess Danyang's "asking for advice" literally. Not to mention, he himself is a genius who can understand the autumn leaves and understand the past and present.
While stacking his head, he suppressed the busy thoughts in his mind and tried to turn his attention to this moment.
"Your Majesty, please tell me."
When Xu Qing said this, he quickly began to examine his recent actions and their related results.
It seems like there is nothing wrong with it? And there didn't seem to be any trouble in the house. What could it be that makes Princess Danyang so solemn?
In a flash, Xu Qing had such thoughts in his mind.
Princess Danyang did not deliberately delay the atmosphere. After confirming that the people around her had turned their attention back to the present, she continued with a smile:
"I heard that the master's results in teaching Prince Anyang were quite remarkable. But recently I have neglected these things and did not ask the master in person, can my cousin be taught? How did the master tame him? Where are the people?”
Princess Danyang smiled gently and looked eager for knowledge, but Xu Qing's whole body shivered when he heard this.
Hiss, he remembered!
Before going out, he seemed to have heard someone say on the road that Prince Anyang was escorted back to Lanxiang Pavilion by Princess Danyang.
That is to say, Prince Anyang got into trouble again, so the Princess of Danyang came to question his disciplining master?
But just when Xu Qing thought about this, Princess Danyang smiled again:
"Master Xu, don't be nervous. I just want to know, what does Master think of my cousin, and what kind of person do you plan to teach him to be?"
The so-called teaching and educating people, the responsibility of the master is of course not only to impart knowledge and solve doubts, but also to help people establish themselves and guide them.
Danyang's original intention of handing Xiao Ren, the prince of Anyang, into the hands of Xu Qing, was naturally not to let her incompetent cousin learn to become a talented person comparable to Xu Qing.
She was moved by Xu Qing's integrity and wanted Xiao Ren, who was too timid and soft-tempered, to be able to be around Master Xu and be guided to grow up.
Not to mention that blood is thicker than water, just seeing how her mother almost lost half her life for this bastard in her previous life, Danyang didn't want Xiao Ren to be so weak again.
It's a pity that, looking back now, maybe she was a little too greedy?
Not to mention that Xu Qing had to take care of many things at once, but even her cousin, who was accustomed to indulgent sex, probably wouldn't "just sit back and wait for death."
When Danyang was reconsidering his arrangement, Xu Qing corrected his thoughts from her expression and eyes, and shook his head with a smile:
"It seems inappropriate for the princess to think this way. Would you like to hear what I have to say?"
