Here in the cold courtyard.

After Xiaotao led Xiaocui and Xiaoxin to the side room to tidy up, they...

Xiao Tao then led the two of them on a tour of the entire Cold Courtyard.

I told them some things to be aware of, and I also taught them how to use some of the modern items that Ye Qingcheng designed in the Cold Courtyard.

The two were stunned, completely amazed and impressed by Ye Qingcheng's talent.

"My goodness! Sister Xiaotao, this princess is truly amazing; she actually came up with such a wonderful way to collect water."

Xiao Cui stared wide-eyed, looking completely incredulous.

Xiao Tao smiled and said, "This is only a small part. Our young lady is very clever."

"Mmm! Miss is really capable! She's amazing."

"That's right, we are so fortunate to be able to serve Miss."

Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin looked at the cold courtyard and saw things they had never seen before, praising them with admiration.

The three of them strolled around the entire cold courtyard.

He then returned to Ye Qingcheng's side.

"Miss, you are so clever, you actually know how to design so many incredible things."

As soon as Xiao Cui returned, she began to praise her.

"Yes! Miss, you are truly the smartest person in the world."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng chuckled: "So? Which courtyard do you two think is better, the Cold Courtyard or the Wisteria Courtyard?"

"Of course it's the Cold Courtyard! Although the Wisteria Courtyard looks gorgeous, it's lifeless, unlike the Cold Courtyard."

"Miss, everyone thought you had suffered terribly in this desolate courtyard for the past six years, but unexpectedly, this desolate courtyard has been transformed into a paradise for you."

"Yes, Miss, I feel that this Cold Courtyard is much more luxurious than the Prince's Mansion."

"Hmm! It seems you really want to stay."

"Of course, as I said, I will follow you, Miss, even in life and death."

"Yes, yes! Me too."

Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Tao, take Xiao Xin to the hot pot restaurant to get some ingredients. We'll have hot pot tonight to celebrate the two of them joining our Cold Courtyard."

"Yes, Miss."

Xiao Tao smiled and agreed, then led Xiao Xin out of the cold courtyard.

However, the two had barely left the cold courtyard when they ran into Butler Wang.

"Xiao Xin, where are you all going? Where is the Princess?"

"Ah? Butler Wang... What brings you here?"

"What? Can't I come?"

"No...no...that's not what I meant."

"Where is the princess?"

"Your Highness...Your Highness, Xiao Cui is serving you."

After hearing this, Butler Wang nodded: "Hmm! So where are you going?"

"Reporting to Steward Wang, this servant is going to fetch some things for the Princess."

"Oh! And who is this?"

Butler Wang's gaze shifted to Xiao Tao, and he began to scrutinize her.

"She...she is..."

“I remember now, you…you were the princess’s dowry maid.”

Before Xiao Xin could answer, Butler Wang remembered and said...

"You...you've made a mistake."

Xiao Tao was also very flustered and didn't know what to do. She wanted to go back and tell Ye Qingcheng, but they didn't dare to leave until Butler Wang agreed.

"Admit your mistake? No... impossible. I remember you were the one who helped the princess when she entered the manor."

"Slave...slave..."

"So you've been staying in the Cold Courtyard all this time, following the Princess."

"slave…"

Seeing Xiao Tao's panicked expression, Steward Wang knew she must be afraid of being scolded by their master, so he smiled and said, "You don't need to be nervous. You have served the princess in the cold courtyard, which is a merit."

Merit?

"Thank you, Butler Wang."

"Alright, you go and fetch your things! I'll go check on the Princess."

"What? To see the princess?"

"That's right! Your Highness, let me see how the Princess is doing."

"Well... Butler Wang, the Princess is fine, so you don't need to go!"

"Huh? What are you saying? If I don't go see the Princess, how am I supposed to report to the Prince?"

"this…"

"Alright, you can go now!"

After finishing his sentence, Steward Wang walked towards the gate of the Cold Courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Tao quickly ran over and shouted, "Your Highness, Steward Wang has come to see you."

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng is teaching Xiao Cui how to manage the vegetable garden, herb garden, and orchard.

After hearing Xiaotao's shout.

Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Xiao Tao, let him in."

"What? Miss?"

"It's alright, let him in!"

"Yes, Miss."

After hearing this, Xiao Tao let go of her hand and went back into the courtyard.

Hearing Ye Qingcheng's voice of agreement coming from inside the courtyard, Butler Wang frowned slightly.

A moment later, he stepped into the courtyard.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

Butler Wang approached Ye Qingcheng, bowed, and called out.

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Steward Wang, what brings you to my Cold Courtyard?"

"Your Highness...Your Highness, you mustn't..."

Ye Qingcheng smiled and said, "I bumped my head just now, but it's fine now."

"What? It's done?"

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang immediately broke into an excited smile.

Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Okay! Thank you for your concern, Butler Wang."

"No...no...no...Your Highness, this is something this old servant should be concerned about."

"Butler Wang, what brings you here?"

"Your Highness, it is the Prince who sent this old servant to see you."

"Oh! I see. Then you can go back and tell him that I'm fine, so he won't have to worry about me anymore."

“This…Your Highness, the Prince is just concerned about you.”

"I know, that's why I told you to tell him not to worry!"
