Chapter 39 What kind of sudden disaster is this?
Our prince was angry, and although the willow branches snapped, they didn't hit the second director at all.
The consequence of this was that the Second Director thought his physical fitness had improved again, so he happily ate two more bowls of rice and slept very soundly.
The next day was the day for the Second Division to be on duty, but Chen Yue slept until noon before getting up.
After washing up, she went to the front hall, and as expected, only Bai Yunfei was waiting for her.
Bai Yunfei brought the hot breakfast to the table and said as if to take credit:
"Director, I saw you staying in bed again, so I went to the chief guard to ask for leave for you. I said you were exhausted from the mission and accompanying the prince last night and couldn't attend the morning training."
"Well, well done."
Shen Yue picked up a steamed bun and put it in her mouth, mumbling, "It's not the first or second time, it's okay."
Bai Yunfei was even happier after receiving the compliment. "Also, the chief of the imperial guards announced a major event today: the chief of the Third Division died in the line of duty."
Shen Yue stopped chewing and asked, "Why are you so happy that he died in the line of duty?"
"Uh, no. The captain of the guards said that the Third Division will no longer select new directors. The prince wants to merge the Third Division into the Second Division and put it under your unified management."
When Shen Yue heard this, she was so shocked that the bun in her mouth fell out.
"No, what kind of sudden disaster is this? No salary increase, but an increase in workload? I just cleaned up his workplace, and he's repaying me with resentment. How can he behave like this?"
"Director, keep your voice down!" Bai Yunfei was so scared that his face turned pale.
What the director said were extremely treasonous words!
"Don't worry, the captain of the guards said that after you take over the Three Departments, your monthly salary will be doubled accordingly."
"So what if it doubles... double?" Shen Yue's eyes lit up.
If the monthly salary is doubled, wouldn’t that be sixty taels?
Although she can make some money by working with Cheng Sijin, who would complain about having too much money?
After the three offices were merged, the two courtyards were connected and managed in the same way as before. She could sleep when she wanted to and negotiate when she wanted to. Wouldn't that be fun?
Having made up her mind, she coughed lightly and said, "Well, since the prince has spoken, I can't refuse him, so I'll just agree reluctantly."
Bai Yunfei, who saw through everything, couldn't help but laugh secretly. He replied "yes" seriously and moved closer to her and said:
"Director, the prince is so kind to you."
Shen Yue sneered, "Okay? Why doesn't this director think so?"
"Of course. He didn't hand the Third Department over to the experienced First and Fourth Department Directors, but instead handed it over to you, who has been in the position for less than a month, and even gave you a monthly salary increase. Isn't that good enough?"
Shen Yue: Tsk, that was when you didn’t see him deducting my money.
"You often skip morning training, but the prince never says anything. Even last time you trespassed into the front hall, he didn't feel like punishing you."
Shen Yue: He punished me by giving me a back massage. Can I tell you this?
"Also, the prince actually gave you such an important task as cleaning up the house. This shows how much he trusts you! And..."
"Okay, I get it, stop talking!" Shen Yue felt like her ears were about to get calluses.
"This subordinate must say this."
Bai Yunfei walked to the table and brought a tray.
"Yesterday, your director's uniform was damaged, so the prince ordered a new one to be made overnight. The material is top-quality silk, which no other director has!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue's eyes involuntarily fell on the tray.
The satin of the robe was smooth and delicate, and the stitching was even more fine and neat. It was obvious that it had been made at a high price.
"Oh my, this... this dress is so flashy, how can I fight if I wear it?"
She said something disdainful, but took it honestly with her hands.
"Forget it, I've already done it, I'll go give it a try!"
Our second director put on new clothes and ran to the front yard.
Through the study window, she saw Xiao Yuheng talking to Changfeng and Baozhu. She curled the corners of her lips, jumped onto the peach tree, found a sturdy trunk to lie down on, and prepared to eavesdrop.
"Your Highness, the weather is getting warmer, and it's time to get you some more clothes. Are you satisfied with the material and pattern?"
It was Baozhu's voice.
"Yes, sure."
A certain prince nodded, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, "Are they all black?"
"Uh." Baozhu's heart tightened when she heard this. "Don't you only wear black?"
The prince looked a little unnatural. "Well, it's not a bad idea to change to a different color occasionally."
Baozhu: "For example?"
"For example...white, the middle and lining garments should be white."
When Shen Yue heard this, she realized that Xiao Yuheng had changed and was actually trying to accept the color white. It seemed that her psychological counseling was not in vain and there was progress.
Next was Changfeng's report: "Your Highness, the group of people who infiltrated the Shadow Guard Division have been dealt with, and Shen Er has been notified of the merger of the Third Division into the Second Division."
"Well, what did Shen Er say?"
"Um... Chen Er took a day off today and didn't attend the morning training, so I had to ask Bai Yunfei to tell him."
"He's really getting more outrageous. He deserves to be punished."
Chen Yue on the tree heard the sound and couldn't help but make a "tsk" sound.
The sound was not loud, but it reached the ears of a certain prince completely, causing the corners of his lips to curl up slightly.
"Then...will there be a punishment?" Our Changfeng guard captain was a little unsure.
The prince did not reply, but just looked at him expressionlessly.
Changfeng felt uneasy when being looked at. He immediately understood what his master meant and quickly changed the subject:
"Um...Sijin has been redeemed. Does the prince want to place her with Baozhu or..."
"No need." Xiao Yuheng interrupted.
"Assign her the position of court physician. She'll be in charge of intelligence liaison. Even if she's in and out frequently, she won't arouse suspicion. There may still be spies in the palace who haven't been eliminated, so we have to be careful."
Changfeng also felt that what his master said made sense and nodded in agreement.
"But Your Highness, speaking of contact, it seems the Dowager Consort hasn't written in a while."
This time, Xiao Yuheng didn't say anything.
Our little shadow guard knows that her prince is missing his mother again.
At this time, a breeze blew by, carrying a few peach blossoms, which slowly fell on her eyebrows and her hair.
She looked up and realized that the peach blossoms on the tree were in full bloom, like brilliant clouds lingering on the branches, dazzling and gorgeous.
The petals are as thin as paper, soft and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance that makes people unable to help but indulge in it.
Shen Yue looked at it and seemed to think of something. She sat up straight, gently pinched the peach blossoms with her fingertips, and picked them one by one. After a while, her hands were filled with pink petals.
After picking the peach blossoms, she trotted back to the Second Division.
Bai Yunfei glanced at the petals in her hand and wondered:
"Director, when you pick flowers you should bring the branches with you, otherwise how are you going to put them in the vase?"
Shen Yue narrowed her eyes, "Who said I want to arrange flowers? Can you make peach blossom cake? Teach me?"
