Cui Xin was assigned a task right after waking up: …

She paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Liu Dong added: "After the water tank is filled, sweep the snow in the yard. Sweep it every half an hour. There must not be a trace of snow water to prevent the princess from falling. I will check regularly."

"……OK."

"Also, the princess will need to wash up after waking up. You are responsible for boiling water. Remember, the water temperature should not be too hot or too warm, but should be moderate and comfortable. If it is not up to standard, you must boil it again until it passes my test."

“…”

"besides……"

Cui Xin pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to say, "Aunt Liudong, there wouldn't be so much work in the morning before."

Liu Dong glanced at her sideways and said seriously: "Although you came to the inner courtyard before, we actually always treated you as an outsider. Now that the princess values ​​you so much, you are one of us. As one of us, of course you have to do more work, otherwise how can you be worthy of the princess's attention."

Cui Xin was speechless for a moment and could only remain silent for a moment before she said, "...Okay."

She closed her eyes to hide the expression in her eyes, turned around and went out to work, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.

Our own people? Who wants to be our own people?

As expected, coming to the princess' inner courtyard was not like flying to the top, but falling into hell!

The reason why he chose to stay in the princess's mansion at that time was because the maids would change shifts on time when they were on duty.

Even if he is not there sometimes, it is not easy to attract other people's attention. Moreover, the news from the Princess's Mansion has always been first-hand, which makes it more convenient to get information and do various things.

But now that he had been transferred to the inner court by the brainless eldest princess, he could basically only stay by her side all the time and it was difficult for him to escape.

Not to mention there are so many inexplicable and tedious tasks.

When I was first transferred here, I even thought that I had revealed something, but later I realized that I was just overthinking...

Looking at the four empty water tanks in front of her, Cui Xin, who had always been extremely calm, suddenly felt a sense of unease.

It seemed like something out of control was about to happen, which made him frown involuntarily.

And all these changes were due to the eldest princess Wen Yu.

When Wen Yu was not around, the work to be done was no different from before, but as soon as she came back, the yard revolved around her alone, and Wen Yu was the center of the entire inner courtyard.

In addition, yesterday's attempt to test the Chengde Palace as a dancer failed...

He originally wanted to use the eldest princess's words to arouse the emperor's interest, but he didn't expect that this person didn't play by the rules at all and even called him a fool.

Cui Xin concealed her thoughts and glanced unobtrusively at the four people from Liuchun who were doing their jobs. No, she had to find an excuse to leave the inner courtyard and couldn't stay here.

Thinking of this, Cui Xin added another bucket of water into the water tank.

When he finished fetching water and started sweeping the snow for the third time, Wen Yu finally stretched and woke up.

"Princess..." Liu Chun whispered in her ear immediately, "There is indeed something strange about Cui Xin. Last night, she used smoke to confuse Liu Dong. No one knows where she went. Liu Dong said that she has a very high level of Qinggong."

Wen Yu yawned and said to herself, "This princess is really a genius. I have thought of this. Who else can I ask?"

Liuchun: ...

Wen Yu stood up and looked through the window at Cui Xin who was working hard to sweep the snow. "What is she doing?"

Liu Chun said: "Liu Dong is deliberately torturing her, asking her to sweep the snow every half an hour."

Wen Yu's tone was appreciative, but she said, "Liu Dong, you are so bad."

"...Princess, what should we do with Cui Xin?" Liu Chun asked in a low voice, with a hint of worry in her voice, "I'm afraid she will do something bad to you, Princess."

Wen Yu sighed: "If she wanted to harm me, you ignorant people would wait until now? Her target should not be this princess, or rather, not this princess now."

Liuchun looked regretful: "There was a fly in the house, but we didn't find it. It's our fault. Princess, do you want to report this to His Majesty?"

Wen Yu gave a thumbs up and said, "Good question. Of course! Then let my brother send a few more handsome Feiyu Guards to protect me!"

Liuchun: ...

Liu Dong, who was checking the snow-clearing work, discovered that Wen Yu had woken up. He looked at Liu Chun and then called Cui Xin in.

"The princess is awake. Go and boil some water for her to wash. Remember what I told you. Don't be lax at all."

Cui Xin glanced at Wen Yu who was reading a storybook and nodded, "I'll go right away."

After a while, he came back with a basin of hot water.

Liu Dong stretched out his hand to test the water temperature: "Too hot, unqualified, boil it again."

Cui Xin: ...

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After a while, he brought another basin of hot water.

Liu Dong: "Too cold, unqualified, reheat."

Cui Xin kept smiling: "I will go right away."

After the hot water was served for the third time, Liu Dong said again: "How do you want to use this warm water, Princess? If it is not up to standard, boil it again."

Cui Xin: ...

At this time, Wen Yu suddenly said, "Cui Xin, are you stupid? You can just heat a pot of hot food and bring it to me when the temperature is right. Why do you have to heat it up again and again? Why do you seem so stupid?"

Cui Xin: ...

He lowered his head and apologized, "What the princess said is true. Cui Xin is really stupid. She can't even do a simple task like boiling water, let alone serve the princess. Cui Xin's ability is not yet up to the level of being able to serve the princess. Please punish Cui Xin and demote me to a servant girl. Cui Xin is willing to accept the punishment."

Wen Yu was very considerate when she heard this: "Although I said you are stupid, it's okay. I don't mind your stupidity. Just be stupid. The yard can't be full of smart people. It would be boring. Stupid people are also a unique and beautiful scenery."

Cui Xin: ...

"Princess……"

Wen Yu waved her hand: "I don't want to listen, I really don't dislike you, you can be stupid, but this princess is all-embracing, tolerant and very tolerant."

Cui Xin was choked and the words froze at her lips.

He lowered his head, twitched his lips, then turned around and continued sweeping the snow.

Seeing her leave, Liu Chun covered her lips and said, "Princess, let Liu Dong watch Cui Xin first, and then I will let Liu Qiu go to the palace to report to His Majesty and see how His Majesty decides. What do you think?"

Wen Yu nodded in agreement. It is nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. After all, she has a very good brother. If she doesn’t use him now, when will she do it?
