Ji Yingying went straight out of the palace and went to the princess's mansion. When she stepped through the gate, she was still a little bit unbelieving.
[I thought I couldn't get in. Every time I tried to come, I was always asked to leave.]
Yes, this is the third time!
[Finally in, I'm going to take a look around.] There are many servants in the princess's mansion, and not many people know Ji Yingying, or have even seen her.
Ji Yingying didn't bring anyone with her this time; she came alone. The doorman was about to kick her out when he saw this.
Before he could even speak, she exclaimed, "Wow, this mansion is really well-decorated!"
[Host, there is a melon on the door.]
The door stopped, not daring to move, not daring to move at all, because they were chosen to move to the residence of the Princess Protector of the Country because they would keep it secret.
Moreover, the eldest princess had something to say. This person should be the eldest princess. She turned her head and looked over.
He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"May the princess be blessed with good health!"
"Well, get up, I just want to take a look."
"yes"
[Tell me quickly, what's the big deal? This guy looks quite honest.]
[He's honest, but he's also incredibly dishonest. He's a thief; if he had access to the inside of the house, things would probably be going missing every few days.]
How could this happen?
【Of course he would! When he was a child, he stole money from his family and blamed it on his younger sister, which resulted in her being severely beaten and then forced to kneel as punishment on a rainy day, ultimately leading to her death.】
Is it that serious?
Not only that, but as he grew older, he also enjoyed stealing from other people's homes, taking chickens, ducks, fish, meat, silver, and so on. He just loved stealing. It wasn't until he was beaten and injured while stealing silver from someone on the street that he finally gave up his life of crime.
[Then how did he get to my house? ]
[He's quite capable, and a good doorman.]
[Do you still steal now? ]
[He stole it, but he'll return it the next day. He's not short of money; he just wanted to satisfy his craving.]
Ji Yingying frowned and suddenly thought of the Ministry of Justice. It seemed that she should take some time to visit the Ministry.
We strolled along the way, and when we arrived at the garden, the steward was giving instructions to a group of maids and servants—quite a few of them.
[What's going on? A staff meeting?] The butler, who was speaking, suddenly heard a voice and turned around to see a woman in official uniform sitting in the pavilion, watching them.
[Hey, it seems the butler has spotted you.]
The butler was puzzled when he suddenly remembered the voice. Then, seeing that Ji Yingying didn't speak, he immediately knew who it was.
He quickly led his men over.
Ji Yingying was looking down at the lotus flowers. The lotus flowers in early May were blooming quite well, but she didn't know whether the lotus seeds and lotus roots were delicious.
[You said I should ask them to bring up some lotus seeds…] Before he could finish, everyone, led by the butler, knelt outside the pavilion and shouted, "Your servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May the Princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
[Hiss~]
Ji Yingying was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "Everyone get up, I just came over to take a look and stroll around."
"Yes, did you know that Your Highness would stay here tonight? I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare a meal."
"I'm not staying here, but you can eat before you go back. You guys go about your business, I'll just wander around by myself."
"yes"
The steward immediately led his men downstairs and instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner, strictly following the princess's instructions.
Ji Yingying strolled around the garden and almost couldn't get out; it was quite large. Luckily, a maid led the way.
"Your Highness, dinner is ready. When would you like to dine?"
"Don't be in a hurry, let's meet people first!" She raided today without notifying anyone, no one stopped her, and there was no need to prove her identity.
It seems the people in the princess's residence have done a good job of training her.
Everyone: ...Princess, it's not that no one tried to stop you, it's just that your voice was too abrupt. Some people could hear it, but some couldn't.
After meeting people and giving them rewards, they started eating.
The housekeeper arranged 103 dishes, a level of preparation that shocked Ji Yingying.
It was the first time she had witnessed what extravagance and waste meant!
"Butler Zhang, there's no need for such extravagance in the future. I only need two or three dishes for myself. I love chicken, so you can think of ways to cook it deliciously."
"yes"
"Forget about this one today. If there's any leftover later, see if anyone wants to take it away. If you don't mind, take it home and eat it."
"yes"
"That's okay, you go down, I can do it by myself." With so many dishes, Ji Yingying didn't sit down to eat, but ate in circles around the table by herself.
She tasted almost every dish.
The taste is alright; the chef seems pretty good!
[Host, you are so lucky to eat so much. ]
[Shut up, I only ate a few bites!] Ji Yingying was helpless, she really didn’t eat much.
It was dark, and Ji Yingying was ready to go back. On the way out of the mansion, Ji Yingying simply ate melons.
What's the juicy gossip surrounding this housekeeper?
[Do you believe he likes to eat smelly things?]
[Stinky, stinky tofu? Durian? Or stinky mandarin fish?]
What you said, there is no next one in this world.
[Could it be that he enjoys eating shit?]
Butler Zhang, who was walking in front, almost tripped. What kind of peculiar fetish is this? Please, Princess, have mercy.
[He is not. He likes to wait until the food has tasted good before eating.]
"Won't that cause diarrhea and make you unwell?"
He wouldn't. He might have been eating like this since he was little. He got used to it. He was poor when he was little, so he couldn't afford to eat good things. So he developed this habit.
"Oh, I see. This is the kind of thing where you force yourself to eat something without any bitterness. I think that's scary."
[It's alright. Butler Zhang is only like this to me; he's quite generous to others. It's like he wants to hold an umbrella for you if you've been caught in the rain.]
[That guy is not bad, but this one is not so good. Since we're talking about stinky tofu, I've decided to switch to stinky tofu tonight. I want to try those sour beans.]
Durian is also an option. It's durian season, and it's available in stores now, so you can buy some.
Yeah, that's all for tonight's late-night snack.
He happily got on the carriage and went back.
When I got home, there was no one at home. Fang Yulan and Ji Cailiang were out, Ji Jiayu took Yanni back to her parents' home, and Ji Jiaming was transferred to the Ministry of Industry to work.
The workers in the Ministry of Works wanted to leave work early, but they were dreaming. As soon as they finished one task, Ji Yingying could immediately produce another one that would give them a headache.
They are both excited and in pain!
"No one's home. I should have just slept at the Princess's residence. Maybe I wouldn't have had to go to work tomorrow." Ji Yingying sighed. Now that everyone was back, she decided to go find An Yi and get a few storybooks to read.
Who knew that An Yiren would become so dejected!
