"It turns out it's a nobleman from the Tian family, but there's something I don't understand. Since she's a lady from the Tian family, how could she ride in such a shabby carriage?" Obviously the bandit leader didn't believe that the carriage was filled with a nobleman from the royal family.
Besides, the carriage Wen Yuan and his companions were riding in was not shabby, otherwise they, the bandits, would not have robbed the road.
It's just that a carriage regulated in this way is indeed not in line with the Tian family's status. It's understandable that the bandit leader asked this.
Seeing that the woman was not ignorant, the coachman got out of the car and tried to persuade her, "The people in the carriage are of high status but behave in a low-key manner, so they are riding in such a carriage that does not match their status."
"Then please invite this lady from the Tian family to come out and meet her. It will also be a good time for the brothers to open their eyes."
Shen Huaiyan had been standing nearby and couldn't even say a word, but when the bandit leader said this, he was not happy. There were a bunch of aggressive and aggressive barbarians outside the carriage. If Wen Yuanke was frightened, what to do.
But Wen Yuan listened to every word they said. Since he wanted to see him so much, let them open their eyes.
Opening the curtain, Wen Yuan stepped off the bench lightly with Shen Huaiyan's support.
Many people in the bandits know her, and the first one to bear the brunt is the man who didn't understand what Tianjia means just now, "Isn't this Princess Xianyang of Feihua City? Are you going back to the capital?"
The four words "Princess Shunyang" mean great kindness in the Dragon Kingdom, and many poor people have received her kindness.
Even the bandit leader, a woman, was no exception. Although she had never received any charity from the princess, she had certainly heard of Wen Yuan's good deeds. "It turned out to be Princess Xianyang's carriage."
She took a step back and bowed her fists, "Princess Xianyang is a kind person in our Dragon Kingdom. I hope that Princess will forgive us for our rude behavior today and let us go!"
This group of people didn't know that Wen Yuan had been given the status of a princess by the emperor, but she didn't mind if they continued to call her Princess.
"You are the king of the mountain. The imperial court has no intention of suppressing you, but you have to be self-aware. You have done too many things of robbing families and homes. We will meet again one day." At that time, he must have been paraded in the capital.
The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "Thank you, Princess Shuyang, for the heads up."
After getting back on the carriage, Wen Yuan looked very tired and leaned against Shen Huaiyan, "There was an unusual smell on that woman just now. The smell of it made me feel sick."
"Well, I smelled it too. It seems to be some kind of hallucinogenic drug." He didn't know much about this, so he wasn't sure.
It took nearly three months to walk from the military camp to the royal capital. Even so, a few people stopped, ate and played along the way, which was considered fast.
I originally thought that the person I would see when I returned home would be my parents, but I didn’t expect that it would be Ling Wufeng. “Brother is back, where is your master?”
Wen Yuan's expression was the same as before, which surprised Ling Wufeng, considering that she had seriously warned him not long ago.
"Master has gone to the temple for medical treatment. You must be tired from the long journey. Come back to your house and have a rest. My aunt is still taking a nap, and my uncle has also entered the palace to see the saint."
He glanced at Shen Huaiyan behind Wen Yuan and smiled, "Yuan Yuan's face is a little pale. Take her back to rest quickly."
From the looks of it, he must have approved of Shen Huaiyan.
Wen Yuan no longer had the same barrier as when he knew he was going to kill Shen Huaiyan. After all, his brother had also spoken out to help Shen Huaiyan.
"Then Ah Yuan will come over later. When mother wakes up, please remember to tell her." After saying this, Wen Yuan returned to the princess's house with the support of Shen Huaiyan.
There are capable servants taking care of the princess's house, just like before leaving the house, "Ah! The princess is back! Princess, you are finally back!"
The person who jumped forward was also the personal maid in Wen Yuan's room. Her name was Zi Ling, the favorite of the princess mansion. Because she was the youngest, everyone gave in to her, but she was very careful and very important to Wen Yuan.
"Next time the princess goes on a trip, don't leave Zi Ling behind..." The little girl held Wen Yuan's hand aggrievedly. The two of them didn't look like masters and servants, but like sisters.
Wen Yuan also liked this girl and said yes repeatedly, but he also did not forget to introduce the new people in the house to them.
She took hold of Xiao Jiu who was hiding behind her and brought her to the front of the crowd, "This is Xiao Jiu. She is younger than you all, but only in her prime. From now on, she will eat and live with you, and you will serve as the housekeepers." Old man, you need to take care of her and give her some guidance, and you can't bully her, you know?"
All the servants agreed in unison without hesitation.
But there are too many bad things happening in the mansion here, and Wen Yuan dare not say that those dirty things will not happen in his princess mansion.
Xiaojiu was simple and her intelligence was not as good as her peers, so she was not too reassured and had to leave Xiaojiu to Chunhua, whom she trusted most, to teach her personally.
"Chunhua, you are the person I trust most, and you are also the only person in charge of this princess' mansion. I can rest assured that Xiaojiu will follow you from now on. You must carefully teach her the rules of living in the royal capital."
"She is the princess. Chunhua will live up to the princess' trust and entrustment. She will set an example and do her best to teach Xiaojiu so that she can adapt to life in the royal capital and the high gate compound as soon as possible."
With Chunhua here, Wen Yuan believed that Xiao Jiu would not be treated harshly in the princess's mansion. She nodded but felt a little sleepy, "It's been a long journey, princess, please rest quickly. Chunhua will take Xiao Jiu to familiarize herself with things in the mansion. Once everything is stable, we will arrange for her to serve you personally."
How about saying that Wen Yuan likes Chunhua and trusts Chunhua? He understands everything and can get it right without having to explain it directly.
"Yuanyuan, I'll go to Banfeng Tower to discuss some matters with Ah Yue. I'll be back before dinner."
"You can go, but you must be back before dinner. Let's go have dinner with our father, the queen, mother and concubines."
After Shen Huaiyan left, Wen Yuan felt bored and read for a while before going back to his room and falling asleep.
Chunhua actually didn't like Xiaojiu at first, but hated her because her biological father almost killed Wen Yuan.
But later, after several heart-to-heart talks with Wen Yuan, she thought a lot more, and she also saw clearly the true nature of Xiao Jiu during the journey. She was not bad, but she just couldn't choose her own birth, so she doesn't dislike her now.
"Xiao Jiu, this princess's mansion is not a countryside farm. Everything must comply with etiquette and rules. As the princess's attendants and maids, everything we say and do outside is related to the princess's face. This is to say it in a small way, but in a big way. , our words and deeds are related to the face of the royal family, so from today on, I will teach you the rules first, and then teach you what you need to learn to serve the princess."
Xiao Jiu is a well-behaved person. She listened to Wen Yuan and Chun Hua's words along the way, so now she will do whatever she says, "Xiao Jiu listens to Sister Chun Hua, and Xiao Jiu will definitely learn from it and not embarrass Sister Wen Yuan." "
Her sensible and well-behaved nature is one of the reasons why Chunhua changed her mind, "The princess treats us like sisters. If we are the only princesses in private, we can call them sisters, but if we go outside or in front of others, we must call them sisters." The master is a princess, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Xiaojiu followed Chunhua to familiarize herself with this huge princess mansion. It was the first time for her to visit such a place that could not be described in words. Anyway, it was just like the Taoyuan wonderland in her dream.
"This is the place that the princess cares about most. This garden, no matter how small it is, every plant in it was planted by the late emperor himself. It was a gift from the late emperor when the princess and Ji were born. These beautiful white magnolias are the late emperor's appreciation for us. The princess is so beautiful and refined that she does not fall into the mundane world.”
Xiaojiu stood under the tree and looked at the blooming white flowers, feeling envious that Wen Yuan could have such a life and receive such pampering.
"In the past, the princess only allowed me and Zi Ling to take care of these magnolias in the garden. From now on, you can follow me and learn how to prune flower branches and prevent pests."
Qiuyue and Chunhua had served together for many years and were not allowed to enter the garden. Xiaojiu was recognized by Chunhua as soon as she came, which made other underground people unable to endure it.
"Xiao Jiu must study hard so that the princess's flowers can bloom beautifully and not be bitten by pests." I just told her to pay attention to how she addressed the princess, but she remembered it now. Chun Hua said to Xiao Jiu I feel more favorable.
"These things are not difficult to say, nor are they easy to say. The most important thing is to be careful. This is why Zi Ling is able to enter the garden even though he is young."
She also said this to the other people on the side. Don't think that she doesn't know what these people are thinking. If you want to win the favor of the princess, you have to have some skills.
"Chunhua, you and the princess have been away for so long, but you miss me so much." Listening to this voice, you knew who it was without even looking.
It seems that Qiuyue has been very nourished during these days in Wen Yuanli's mansion, and she doesn't look like a maid in the mansion at all. "Your whole body..."
Chunhua is looking down on Qiuyue more and more now. She has obviously been a sister who has served the princess since she was a child. How come she is like this now? "Take off your clothes quickly. I will pretend not to see you today. If you are seen by the prince or princess, Well, you will be punished for the crime of trespassing!"
The clothes and jewelry she is wearing now are not what they should have as servants. Chunhua thinks of her childhood friendship and has no intention of mentioning this to Wen Yuan.
After saying that, Chunhua left with Xiaojiu, and also told Xiaojiu: "Don't follow that person's example. I grew up with her and the princess. Fortunately, the two of us were blessed by the princess and had no worries about food and clothing. Although we were maids, we had no worries outside." She is always superior to others, but she is still not satisfied and wants to get something that does not belong to her."
Xiao Jiu half understood these words, but still nodded in agreement.
Along the way, the servants of the Princess Mansion were all respectful to Chun Hua. Even Xiao Jiu understood the feeling of being respected. She was so envious of such Chun Hua.
"Why are those people so attentive to Sister Chunhua?" Xiaojiu's intelligence is not as good as that of her peers, but she is not stupid, not to mention her father often teaches her, so there is no obstacle to communicating with others.
Chunhua blurted out without thinking, "Because the princess respects me. But this kind of respect does not come from flattery, but because I am diligent and careful. I am in charge of almost everything in this house. The princess trusts me very much, so some people will get close to me with purpose."
Speaking of which, this was also her helplessness.
