Chapter 152: Eaten with Vinegar
After Uncle Qian left, Qiuyue asked:
"Prince's Consort, didn't you tell me that after Uncle Qian came back, I wouldn't have to run around anymore?"
Zhu Xuntao walked in front of Qiuyue:
"Uncle Qian just came back, if I say that, Uncle Qian will misunderstand me."
"As a person, the most frightening thing is that you are useless."
She didn't want Uncle Qian to go out again, not because she thought Uncle Qian was incompetent or did things inappropriately. She
just felt that Uncle Qian was not young anymore, and she had finally got the conditions, so she didn't want Uncle Qian to work as hard as before.
At least 300 of the 365 days a year are spent outside. How can such a life be easy?
People always yearn for stability.
Zhu Xuntao also considered that she had a new partner - the prince.
The prince has a high status, great power, and no problem with his character.
According to the description in the book, if it weren't for the reborn Zhu Yingyan, the prince and Xiao Jingzhan would be a pair of wise monarchs and virtuous ministers, ruling a peaceful and prosperous era together.
From this, it can be seen that the prince is still very reliable.
Everything she knows is because she has read the original work.
Beyond the scope of the original work, she is clueless.
With her three-legged cat skills, it is impossible to find someone more suitable to be the emperor than the prince.
So, let's go with the prince.
With the prince around, things like running errands and looking for things for her should be done by people from the prince's side.
She gave the target, and the prince's people helped to run errands, and everyone contributed.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Xuntao wanted to treat the prince and his men as free labor.
Why do you have to work hard on your own people when you can use others?
Without her, the prince would have to go through many detours and endure many hardships to figure out what she was looking for.
Therefore, if the prince wants to leave her alone, it depends on whether the prince can afford the blood.
"My slave understands."
Qiuyue nodded sharply.
"Do you really understand?"
Qiuyue has enlightened herself today, can she understand it in just one click?
Qiuyue walked towards Zhu Xuntao with small steps and said,
"I knew that the imperial concubine was getting married to my uncle. For several days, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep."
Qiuyue didn't say anything, but Zhu Xuntao didn't know about this yet:
"Why?"
In those days, she looked at Qiuyue and smiled silly, thinking that Qiuyue was going crazy with happiness.
Qiuyue said, "I am not smart. I know everything because the Crown Prince's wife doesn't mind me and taught me little by little."
"Madame Li often said that if a fool like me stayed with the Crown Prince's wife, it would definitely cause trouble for her and embarrass her."
"I am not good enough. There must be many maids in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion who are smarter and more obedient than me..."
Before the Crown Prince's wife got married, she was the only maid by her side.
When the Crown Prince's wife became the Crown Prince's wife, would it still be possible?
It's impossible. The Marquis's Mansion will definitely add a maid for the Crown Prince's wife.
Will the Crown Prince's wife see other excellent maids and not want her?
Qiuyue was upset for two days because of this.
It was the day before Zhu Xuntao got married that Qiuyue suddenly figured it out.
Even if the Crown Prince's wife really didn't like her and didn't need her to serve her, it didn't matter.
She just needs to make sure that after marrying into the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, the Crown Prince's Consort will have an easy life and someone will protect her
. So what does it matter if she is not by her side?
Her biggest purpose in staying by her side is to protect her and not leave her alone.
Zhu Xuntao paused, feeling a little sour in her heart.
She pinched Qiuyue's cheek hard, making her face red:
"What are you thinking about? Don't forget, I said I will support you and protect you for the rest of your life."
"For me, there is no better maid in the world than Qiuyue."
After the death of the old man Zhu, only Qiuyue could still accompany Zhu Xuntao. Uncle Qian was a man, so it was inconvenient.
Without Qiuyue, Zhu Xuntao didn't know if she could survive the days when her grandfather passed away.
So, how could she not want such a good Qiuyue.
Qiuyue sniffed, and then laughed:
"So I said, I am so stupid."
"Fortunately, the prince's wife doesn't dislike me. I will definitely rely on her for the rest of my life."
Although Zhu Xuntao didn't know that Qiuyue had such worries before, her actual actions would always give Qiuyue the greatest peace of mind.
On the day Zhu Xuntao married into the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, she didn't want anyone else, and only looked for Qiuyue at the first time.
It was also that time that Qiuyue's worries and concerns disappeared.
Qiuyue knew that unless she begged to leave,
her prince's wife would never be influenced by anyone and abandon her.
Qiuyue used to be the only person who stayed with Zhu Xuntao.
Zhu Xuntao has always been Qiuyue's only one.
"What's wrong? Are you worried? You haven't said anything."
Xiao Jingzhan, who had just resigned and returned home, saw Zhu Xuntao staring at the account book in silence for a long time without moving.
Awakened by Xiao Jingzhan's voice, Zhu Xuntao frowned and made a decision:
"Husband, I have a question, I hope you can solve it."
"Really?"
Xiao Jingzhan sat down and looked back at Zhu Xuntao:
"Is this your attitude when asking others to do things for you?"
Zhu Xuntao: "..."
All right, Xiao Jingzhan is the master.
Zhu Xuntao walked over, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jingzhan, and held it in front of Xiao Jingzhan:
"My husband has worked hard, please have some tea."
It's not like she hasn't been a tea girl before.
When she was young, she worked part-time to earn tuition fees, and the most she did was to be a tea girl.
Xiao Jingzhan held Zhu Xuntao's hand holding the tea with one hand, and with the other hand, he put Zhu Xuntao on his thigh.
With just a movement of lowering his head, Xiao Jingzhan drank the water in the cup from Zhu Xuntao's hand: Today's water is sweet and thirst-quenching.
Zhu Xuntao: "..."
[What a wise ancient person! How can I, a modern person, feel about this? Have I watched all those romance novels and TV dramas in vain?]
Ancient people?
Modern people?
Earlier, Xiao Jingzhan discovered that Zhu Xuntao classified them as people from different eras.
Romance novels probably mean storybooks, and what about TV series?
Although he was puzzled, Xiao Jingzhan was very proud of the information he just got.
Zhu Xuntao said that he was better than her, which must mean that no matter which world Zhu Xuntao was in, he was the only man.
Otherwise, Zhu Xuntao would not be so shy in front of him.
Thinking of Zhu Xuntao's first time meeting the prince, she said in her heart "I want to marry", Xiao Jingzhan was not jealous at all.
In his impression, after being able to hear Zhu Xuntao's voice,
Zhu Xuntao would have to praise every good-looking man in her heart. He had never heard Zhu Xuntao use
such compliments to describe himself.
