Although Mei Lan was enthusiastic, her eyes were like steel needles piercing through the bones. She had been staring at Dou'er almost unblinkingly since she entered the door.
As the eldest girl in Qishuang Pavilion who is responsible for dealing with people inside and outside, it is not that she is ignorant of etiquette as the eldest girl delivering news, but it is because she has been caught several times by Dou'er, who seems to be snooping for news in the pavilion. She cannot help but be careless.
Especially when the princess and the maid Zizhu are not in the mansion, she must not fail in her important responsibility of looking after the house!
Dou'er's hair stood up at these glances, his scalp was numb, and even the smile on his face began to freeze.
On normal days, even if she was beaten to death, she would not choose to come to Qishuang Pavilion when Mei Lan was in the front yard.
But who told me that there is a "dangerous ghost" following closely behind me today?
After gritting his teeth, Dou'er pretended not to notice the other party's wariness and unwelcomeness, and quickly spoke enthusiastically:
"It's not an urgent matter, nor is it my mother's order. It's just that I don't have to be on errands today, and I thought that the princess's birthday was coming soon, so I wanted to find my sister to discuss it."
Mei Lan looked at Dou'er deeply and suspiciously, "What's the total?"
Since the princess decided to hold the wedding ceremony in the palace, there was no need to make various preparations and coordination in the princess's mansion. And when it comes to giving birthday gifts, each hospital has its own "own opinion." How could she and Dou'er agree on this?
Dou'er saw Mei Lan's resistance, and to cheer herself up, she immediately took two steps forward, held Mei Lan's arm affectionately, and begged softly:
"Good sister, it's not that I haven't been with my grandma for a long time, I don't have a high income, and I haven't saved much. I heard that the princess loves flowers. I have several pots of famous products given by noble people at home, but I don't know what color the princess likes. And what kind of breed it is. Can my sister let me go to the backyard..."
Mei Lan only heard half of it before she laughed angrily.
"Haha, you are so brave! I feel that you have evil intentions. Not only did you pry overtly and covertly before, but now you want to break into the house while the princess and sister Zizhu are not at home, don't you?! "
"Don't dream! As long as I, Mei Lan, am still here in Qishuang Pavilion, don't even think about taking a step there!"
Dou'er saw that Mei Lan was aroused as expected. Although she got her wish, her legs under her skirt couldn't help but tremble.
But their faces were evenly matched, as if they had been greatly wronged, they raised their voices and screamed.
"Meilan, what are you talking about? You are not as bloody as you when you accuse someone unfairly! I just want to give the princess a birthday gift, why am I in the way of you? You also said that I have bad intentions, I think you are the one Woolen cloth!"
In Qishuang Pavilion, the atmosphere that was originally quiet due to the lack of people was suddenly stirred up by the two of them, as if a pot was boiling.
The little maids who were busy in the front yard didn't pay attention. When they heard the noise and looked up, they saw that the two people who were talking affectionately had actually set up a cucumber stand!
"Don't, don't fight, don't fight!"
"Don't bully Sister Mei Lan!"
"Come quickly! Someone come and help!"
For a moment, the people who started the fight and the "helpers" got involved in the whole Qishuang Pavilion in just a moment. Even the maids and servants who looked after the door and cleaned the backyard were lured over.
Because Dou'er often secretly went to Qishuang Pavilion and gave him delicious food and fun things, so when the two started fighting, there were not a few people who helped Dou'er.
The two groups actually fought to a close, and the chaos became unstoppable, with a tendency to become more and more lively as the fighting continued.
In the backyard of Qishuang Pavilion, outside the northwest corner door.
A young man wearing a princess palace uniform, with his face lowered, quickly emerged from the trees on the path as soon as the sound of "war" ignited by Dou'er came, and listened to the various movements inside the door.
After confirming that all the servants guarding the backyard had left, he immediately looked around and took out the special iron needle he carried with him, and opened the back door that was bolted from the inside in a few clicks.
It was also because Princess Danyang and Mr. Xu managed the family well, and the rules in the princess's mansion became more orderly, that all the courtyards stopped the habit of locking the back door with iron chains.
But who knows, at this time, the foreign thieves will get an advantage.
…
Danyang has been focusing more and more on external forces in recent days, so on this day, he made an appointment with Han Qinglan to exchange news, and left the palace early to go home before the prince could return from Taixue.
After hastily finishing her lunch in the carriage, and being nagged by Zizhu all the way, she suddenly remembered.
When I went out today, I only remembered to put the letter paper into the purse I carried with me, but Xiao Ren's Panlong Pendant was still in the sleeve bag I took out!
In fact, this is all because Concubine Jing always comes to hang out with her recently, and sometimes wants to see the dragon and phoenix pendant given to her by the emperor's uncle.
Because he was really annoyed and wanted to stimulate the other party so that he would stop coming to the East Palace and get in the way, Danyang didn't cover it too tightly. After pushing it two or three times, he took the opportunity to show it to the other party.
But who would have imagined that after being stimulated, Concubine Jing would become "more courageous with every frustration", or maybe she liked this dragon and phoenix too much? Anyway, I have to watch it every now and then.
Back and forth, Danyang was afraid that one day he would get Xiao Ren's Panlong Pendant by mistake out of impatience and cause trouble, so he could only separate the two fatal objects.
But there are so many things to take care of, and she is not a careful person, so things will inevitably go wrong over time.
While Danyang secretly blamed himself for being careless, he waited impatiently for the carriage to drive into the second door of his house.
Therefore, as soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to get out of the car first and went straight to the corridor leading to Qishuang Pavilion from the second door.
"Princess, please slow down! Wait for me!"
Zizhu didn't have time to pack up other random items. She only had time to grab Princess Danyang's replacement dress and makeup bag in the car, and then jumped out of the car.
As soon as she stood firm, she didn't even have time to turn around and gave instructions to the boys and maids waiting at the second door.
"Pack the things in the car and send them to Qishuang Pavilion! Don't break the princess's favorite teacup!"
The person had already chased Princess Danyang's back and ran a long distance away.
The people at the second door were stunned for a moment as they watched the master and servant disappear one after another. But soon a relaxed smile appeared in their eyes and faces.
"Sure enough", even if he suddenly seems to have become calm and reliable, his majesty is inviolable. But the princess they watched growing up was still the same person.
But the two people who hurried back to Qishuang Pavilion were not so relaxed.
Before arriving at Chuihua Gate, Danyang heard noisy shouts and fighting coming from inside.
At this moment, she suddenly stopped.
I have a bad premonition that something should never happen in the Princess Mansion and her Qishuang Pavilion at this moment...
Oops!
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Danyang had already rushed through the door and rushed along the corridor to the backyard where she lived, where Xiao Ren's dragon pendant was placed in the boudoir.
Zizhu, who arrived at the last step, also heard something strange, but after following Princess Danyang and rushing through the four doors, he was completely stunned by what he saw.
"You, all of you, stop it! What kind of place do you think this is!"
