Chapter 562 The Palace is Busy
But on second thought, when has my prince ever told a lie? There must be a reason why he said that.
"Master, I understand. I will arrange for someone to prepare a yard for the princess and the young master."
After saying this, Gao Lin turned around and ran away, looking very impatient. He was completely different from the serious and rigid eunuch who managed the Prince Chen's Mansion in the past.
Seeing Gao Lin running away, Xie Ruiyuan shook his head without saying a word of blame. Instead, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Lin went to the kitchen and arranged meals for his prince. Without any pause, he gathered all the servants in the mansion.
At midnight, everything was silent.
The servants' quarters in Prince Chen's Mansion were brightly lit. The servants were dug out of their beds, but not only did they not complain, they were all extremely excited.
"Chief Steward Gao, is it true that we are going to have a mistress in our mansion?"
"Hey, didn't you hear what Manager Gao said? There's also the young master."
"Yes, yes, yes. The prince not only has a princess, but also a child."
……
Gao Lin stood on the stairs, looking at the people standing in a row below whispering to each other. Without exception, they were all discussing the matter of the princess and the young master.
If this had happened in the past, if anyone dared to discuss serious matters in private, he would have been absolutely merciless and would have given that person ten great beatings.
But there was a happy event in the mansion today, and he was still excited, not to mention the other servants who had always hoped to have the princess in the mansion.
He once thought that the prince would never have a princess in his life, and the servants in their mansion would never have a mistress.
Unexpectedly, God was merciful and not only sent them a mistress, but also a young master. This was a huge happy event.
Before the mistress and the young master returned home, they had to clean up the house, especially the main courtyard.
The prince said that the princess and the young master should live directly in the main courtyard.
If the prince was the only one living in the main courtyard, that would be fine.
But if there is a princess and a young master, this is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. I don't need to tell you, everyone knows that the princess and the young master are on their way back to the capital. We have to finish repairing the mansion within a month and wait for the princess and the young master to move in."
"Yes, Chief Executive Gao."
Seeing that everyone below answered in unison, Gao Lin smiled, then instantly became serious.
"But we have to make it clear in advance. I don't need to tell you how important the princess and the young master are. I believe everyone knows it. If anyone has other intentions and dares to offend the princess and the young master, don't blame us for being rude."
"Chief Steward Gao, don't worry. All the servants in our palace are loyal. For so many years, they have been looking forward to the princess. Now that we have the princess and the young master, everyone will serve us wholeheartedly. How could they have any other ideas?"
Gao Lin also knew the character of the servants in the palace. After all, those who could serve in the palace were all carefully selected, and their ancestors for eighteen generations were clearly checked, so there would be no chance of anyone with ulterior motives sneaking in. He didn't need to worry about this at all.
But the princess and the young master are a very important matter. No matter how much thought and effort you put into it or how many times you explain it, it is not too much.
Not to mention that he knew very well the importance of the princess and the young master, all the princes and dignitaries in the capital knew it clearly.
To be disrespectful, the arrival of the princess and the young master is likely to affect the political situation of the Great Zhou.
He could see something of such a big thing, let alone the prince who was in the fight for the throne.
He, like the servants standing in front of him, are all slaves of the prince's palace. If the prince can make further progress, they, the servants, will also be able to rise to higher positions. If the prince fails, they will have to live and die with the prince's palace.
He gathered all the servants in the mansion and conveyed the prince's words to them. Of course, he knew how everyone would react.
"Alright, alright. There will be a princess and a young master in the mansion soon. Everyone cheer up and get ready to welcome the princess and the young master."
"Yes, Chief Executive Gao."
The servants were busy working all around, some continued to work the night shift, some went back to sleep, and some really couldn't sleep, so they gathered in twos and threes to discuss what flowers to plant in the garden and whether to get a few small swings.
Xie Ruiyuan had a midnight snack in the study and did not go back to the dormitory to sleep. Instead, he continued to stay in the study to handle official business.
You should know that before he returned to Beijing, he received news that the King of Yue, who was guarding the southern border, sent his eldest son to lead troops back to Beijing secretly. On the surface, he only brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there were 80,000, all of whom sneaked into the outskirts of the capital in batches.
In addition, a secret letter also came from the King of Hell, saying that in addition to these 100,000 troops, the King of Yue had secretly hidden another 100,000 soldiers in the capital for more than ten years.
When he learned that the King of Yue had 100,000 soldiers outside the capital, he was not surprised.
Even if there were another 100,000 soldiers and horses, the King of Hell would not be able to find where they were, which made him quite fearful.
After returning to the capital, he no longer walked around openly, and only entered and exited the palace at night.
Fortunately, he was very familiar with the palace and knew all the defenses clearly. It was not difficult to enter the palace without being noticed, even the Qiankun Hall.
Before returning to the capital, he was very worried about his father's health, so even if he had any arrangements, he did not dare to act rashly.
He met his father in the Qiankun Palace tonight, and was relieved to see that his father was not seriously ill.
Xie Ruiyuan believed that he could return to the capital without anyone noticing, so he made various arrangements to give the restless King of Yue and the eldest prince a heavy blow and put an end to their wishful thinking.
Little did he know that some people in the capital had already learned of his return and were thinking about how they could move into Prince Chen's Palace and become its mistress.
Prime Minister’s Mansion, Ruiran Garden.
[Hei Zha, are you sure the Third Prince has returned to Beijing? ]
[Of course, I won’t make a mistake on this little thing.]
When Yun Ran heard the words of the Black Scum Catching System, he did not doubt the authenticity, but he still couldn't believe that the Third Prince he had been thinking about day and night had returned to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Thinking that she and the Third Prince were now living in the capital, breathing the same air, her heart was filled with joy.
If it wasn't the middle of the night, he would definitely go to Prince Chen's Mansion to find the Third Prince without hesitation.
[Hei Za, do you still remember that the Third Prince returned to Beijing last year with great fanfare? At that time, I was still a little maid following Li Mengyue. I wanted to go see the Third Prince, but I couldn't help myself. Because Li Mengyue didn't want to go at that time, saying that there was nothing to see, I hated it so much. The Third Prince is my true love, how could I go back to see him? But the fact is, on the day the Third Prince returned to Beijing, I didn't even leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. ]
When Yun Ran said this, the hatred on his face seemed to become real, and his whole face was distorted. Even the evil system that had done so many evil things felt a lingering fear and shuddered suddenly.
