"Hmph, it's a great gift. Since the prince brother doesn't care about it, I'll go home right now."
Danyang Wen pretended to be aggrieved and made a face, but soon he couldn't hold back his laughter.
The prince shook his head and sighed with a smile. He raised his hand and tapped Danyang's forehead, and then called people to go to the East Palace. He looked serious and asked slowly with a slight smile:
"Okay, let's get down to business. Is it because you came to the palace to see me in such a hurry to get your haircut?"
Although Danyang didn't say it himself, he knew it. After persuading Emperor Xuande through hard work, her wise and considerate emperor uncle would definitely make all arrangements and preparations in advance.
Of course, it is indispensable to inform the prince of the East Palace.
But before she could speak, the prince sighed again:
"Originally I thought you weren't going to do it this year, but unexpectedly you suddenly decided to do it on a whim. There is only so much time left, so I'm afraid there will be some oversights. And it's easier to make mistakes when you're busy..."
Danyang felt warm in his heart. Hearing the gentle reproaches and worries from the gentle young man beside him, he smiled and became more determined to move forward with the plan.
Seeing that the prince had finished speaking, she took over with a smile and said:
"Brother Prince, hasn't he been asking me to bow my hair earlier? Now is the right time."
After a preface, Danyang turned to the purpose of her visit.
"I also know that time is tight, so in order to arrange everything according to my wishes as soon as possible, I brought two people here. They can not only take care of your daily life, but also supervise the progress of all arrangements after I leave the palace at night. How can I kill two birds with one stone? Not good?"
As she said that, she turned her head and raised her hand to point at Xiao Tao and the two people coming behind her.
"You guys, come forward. Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
When the two of them bowed as they were told, Danyang turned to the prince and said boastfully:
"These two girls are the most capable people around me. Let's lend them to the prince brother for the time being. After the ceremony, remember to return them to me as they were."
The prince heard this and looked back and forth between Danyang and the two very strong and capable maids in front of him who were bowing to him.
Although these two people have good looks, their figures and manners are really a bit too rough and unrestrained. Not only was there no one similar to her in the East Palace, but there was probably no such maid in the entire harem.
Of course, there are servants who are as powerful as them, but they are not as energetic as these two.
At such a young age, he is so powerful... If we only look at the appearance of both men and women, it would be more believable to say that they are two slightly slender bodyguards rather than maids.
Because of this, Prince Xiao Jin, who is very perceptive by nature, immediately noticed that Danyang's purpose seemed impure?
However, at this moment, they were stepping into the gate of the East Palace. Servants kept coming and going, and Guicheng, the manager of the East Palace, came out specially to welcome them. It is not easy to ask the truth in private.
"Your Majesty, you are polite. The last time you entered the palace, your servant didn't have time to say hello. You can't let that happen this time."
When Prince Xiao Jin was thinking this, the voice of Guicheng, the eunuch of the East Palace, sounded cheerfully not far in front of them.
Danyang turned around and smiled, and after praising the eunuch chief Guicheng for saying "his mouth is so sweet", he immediately smiled again and said:
"Eunuch Gui is here just in time. I have two little maids here. Please arrange them to be with the prince brother. By the way, remember to replace the original maid."
"this……"
The general manager Guicheng was stunned when he was told.
Without even scanning their eyes, the two people brought by Danyang only looked back and forth between Princess Danyang and the prince, and then showed a wry smile.
All the important positions in the East Palace, including him, were sent by Concubine Jing. Not to mention that the power of appointment and dismissal is not in his hands, but even if he is, there is no precedent for replacing female officials in the palace with people of unknown origins!
Guicheng smiled bitterly for a moment, then immediately shook his head and waved his hands in refusal:
"Princess, please stop joking with the Zajia family. This is against the rules, and neither your Majesty nor your empress will agree."
Danyang had known that he would encounter such words, so he replied without thinking:
"Eunuch Gui is wrong. My uncle has already agreed to my doing this. Haven't you heard that I want to hold a haircut ceremony in the East Palace?"
When the eunuch chief Guicheng heard this, the bitter smile on his lips became even more bitter.
"Well, I heard that the prince and his father-in-law came to inform the Zao family."
Danyang smiled playfully, "That's it. In order for the ceremony to go as scheduled and to be held as I wish, I naturally have to send my capable people to assist Eunuch Gui, right?"
Speaking of this matter, Guicheng knew that these two maids from the princess mansion had to stay. but……
"If the princess thinks so, then it's not impossible for these two to stay in the East Palace. But since they have heavy responsibilities, how can they distract themselves from taking care of His Highness? I'm afraid your arrangement will not make the ceremony go smoothly, but it will also make it difficult for the ceremony to go smoothly. Your Highness is wronged, isn’t he?”
Guicheng still had a lot to say, but before he could continue, Danyang took advantage of the gap and directly waved his hand and interrupted:
"My father-in-law is wrong. Since I gave the order, I naturally trust the abilities of these two people. Besides, they are the chief administrators of the president. How can there be times when they are unable to do anything?"
"If that's true, is it because the people in the East Palace are so incompetent that they have to give their own instructions on everything in order for Madara to be able to do his job well?"
Guicheng's face turned pale as he choked at these words.
Concubine Jing was in charge of the harem and never gave anyone any excuses. All the servants in the East Palace were also "carefully selected". If he dared to agree to Princess Danyang's words, wouldn't it be tantamount to openly slapping Concubine Jing in the face?
Then there is no need to wait until dark, as all kinds of rumors will send him to Shufang Palace to report!
Therefore, after Guicheng laughed twice, he could only answer one sentence.
"Such a situation will naturally not occur."
But just when Guicheng wanted to make a fuss about the latter reason for rejection, Danyang was one step ahead of him and said casually, seemingly unintentionally:
"So, even if you don't have to worry about the lack of ability of my people and the people in the East Palace, they will be very free. And I am embarrassed to bother the prince brother so much, so naturally I want to use the most convenient one and serve the best around me. The two good ones are sent here to comfort His Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince, who originally disapproved of Danyang's nonsense, was even more dumbfounded when he heard this.
He could imagine that if these two maids were left behind, there would be rumors that Princess Danyang used her beauty to seduce the crown prince.
Therefore, Xiao Jin, who was smiling bitterly in his heart, immediately spoke to close this loophole.
"You're such a naughty girl. I'm not married yet, how can I keep a maid from outside the palace to serve me?"
Hearing this, Danyang snickered secretly, turned to look at the prince, tilted his head and pretended to be confused:
"What's not allowed? My two maids are just like the female officials in charge of the palace. They just serve the prince's brother with all the daily chores, and don't have to personally serve him in daily life. Besides, the prince's brother doesn't have all the personal matters. Is Xiaodouzi doing it?"
