Danyang turned his head sideways and looked back at Eunuch Wei, whose eyes were widening.
"Uh, did father-in-law misunderstand something?"
In fact, there is no need to ask too much. Just look at the other party's expression of indignation and suffering until his face turns red, and you won't guess wrong.
But before she could clarify, the eunuch on duty at the door hurriedly entered, interrupting their conversation.
"Eunuch, His Highness the Seventh Prince is here to see you," he was about to blurt out, but when his eyes glanced at Danyang, he immediately paused and then changed his words.
"The Seventh Prince is here. I have something to ask you. Do you think so?"
Danyang saw that Wei Xian had something serious to do and his presence seemed to be a hindrance, so he prepared to stand up and leave.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she put down the roster she was holding as a decoration, Eunuch Wei immediately said respectfully:
"Princess, there is no need to evade, it shouldn't be a big deal. These little things are usually too lenient by me. I think what I was going to say just now might be disrespectful to the prince, so I changed my words temporarily. You don't need to take it to heart." "
Danyang smiled after hearing this and couldn't help but secretly said:
This exquisite heart with seven orifices is indeed well-deserved.
No wonder this Eunuch Wei was so stable that she stayed with her wise uncle the emperor for more than twenty years. Even his current status has vaguely exceeded that of Wang Zhen, who had taken care of Emperor Xuande since he was a child until now.
When she thought about this moment, she said with a smile:
"Then I'll stay here and bother my father-in-law for a little longer."
Although she can enter the palace as she pleases, there is not much time left for her. Or to be precise, there are only three days when one person can act and make arrangements.
Danyang needs to find a perfect strategy during this period so as not to be self-defeating and leave a loophole that can be exploited. Even if he fails to save people, he becomes an "accomplice".
However, although she had made up her mind, she would leave the palace after thinking of a direction and taking action, that is, leaving Wei Xian's place. But she didn't intend to really delay other people's errands.
So after picking up the account book again, Danyang smiled and said:
"But Eunuch Wei doesn't think I'm in the way. When I'm asking people to think, I don't like other people or things making noise in my ears. Lend me the side room over there first."
When Wei Xian heard this, he could only smile bitterly.
But as long as Princess Danyang doesn't leave the palace before the matter is finalized, he really doesn't want to care about where he goes or what he does, and of course he doesn't dare to care about it.
So with a wry smile, Eunuch Wei stood up and sent Princess Danyang off respectfully, and responded:
"Then please forgive me for being rude. After finishing the chores, I will go find the princess."
After Danyang nodded with a smile, he turned around and walked to the inside, separated by the screen.
However, she listened to Wei Xian behind her, instructing the servants to prepare tea and various snacks, and then went to invite the Seventh Prince in. I couldn't help but muttered to myself:
Wei Xian hadn't asked about the specific reason, so how did he know that the Seventh Prince was here to do some chores? And even if it was really just some chores, how could the seventh prince find the chief eunuch beside Emperor Xuande?
If she remembered correctly, Xiao Ni, who had not yet left the palace and opened a mansion, should still be living with her biological mother, uh, some beauty. The daily chores should be taken care of by the fifth-grade eunuch in charge of the harem, right?
However, these trivial matters had nothing to do with her, and all the doubts only flashed through her mind before being thrown out of Danyang's mind.
And when she sat down on the Taishi chair by the window behind the screen, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, thinking hard about a good idea, there was a light, slow, but rhythmic sound of footsteps on the other side of the screen.
"Father, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
After Xiao Ni greeted him very politely, he took out a stack of ordinary rice paper from the palace rations and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in front of Wei Xian before he could clear it away.
At this time, although Wei Xian was not like other eunuchs in charge, he was so disrespectful to Xiao Ni that he never even stood up. But he just stood by the table, waiting for the Seventh Prince to come in without going to greet him personally.
The smiling face that was originally polite and friendly also cooled down slightly after seeing the stack of paper handed over by Xiao Ni.
Although he didn't care about the affairs of the harem, he also listened to the gossip about the harem.
According to rumors, the seventh prince, who is not favored by the Holy Spirit, and his biological mother, Cui Meiren, seem to be having a very difficult time. On weekdays, there are naturally as many things as being cheated and bullied because of not being favored.
But that Cui beauty is still a master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Therefore, almost half of the excitement in the harem was provided by this beauty Cui.
Even Wei Xian's senior, Eunuch Wang Zhen, was dragged into the water by Cui Meiren.
Unfortunately, that seems to have happened many years ago.
At that time, Wei Xian had not yet entered the palace, so naturally he did not have the chance to witness the "grand event". As for that matter, because one party was the most popular person around Emperor Xuande, the other party was also the master of the palace. So after times have changed, no one will mention it on weekdays.
Although Wei Xian doesn't like the excitement, for the sake of survival and responsibility, when he has to search and inquire as much as he can, he always likes and is used to just watching from the outside, rather than being in it.
But today it seems like I have to end?
However, when he spoke, he still followed the rules and etiquette that should be expected of a prince.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Although he was asking this question, Wei Xian had already made various preparations in his heart.
In the pre-judgment, the next words of this unpopular prince should be to complain to him or directly reprimand him for using waste or defective products that do not meet his status.
Furthermore, he will be asked to report the injustice he encountered to His Majesty?
But who would have known that the next words spoken by the Seventh Prince Xiao Ni would be far from Wei Xian's various speculations.
"Thank you, father-in-law, please transfer the owner of these poems to my name for a few days. His Highness needs to find someone among them to serve as a pen and ink writer."
Even though he was a well-informed Wei Xian, he couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this order. He subconsciously confirmed it again and asked:
"Your Highness, you are saying that you want to choose a maid for His Highness the Third Prince?"
And it's still in the study, serving pen and ink?
Xiao Ni only smiled and nodded, and said with an extremely calm expression and tone that was completely opposite to Wei Xian:
"Of course, otherwise why would I spend so much time collecting the entertainment works of the maids in their spare time?"
"Can……"
Not to mention the biological mother of the third prince, Concubine Jing is still here, so the job of choosing a personal maid is not her turn. The seventh prince, Xiao Ni, is the brother.
It's just that now that the third prince has opened a palace and moved out of the palace, how can he still choose maids from the palace and send them out to serve him?
But Wei Xian is worthy of being called a human spirit by everyone, both openly and secretly, with both praise and derogation.
After just one breath, Su Xuanlai calmed down and raised his hand to pick up the pile of papers, which he thought were white papers but actually a collection of poems.
