"I'm sure." Xun Niannian nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, since you want to stay so much, then stay!"

Chen Lianhe no longer insisted and pointed at the dishes on the table, "Clean up here, and then make the bed for me."

What? Clean up the dishes? Make the bed?

Xun Niannian’s eyes were dull for a moment.

From Chen Lianhe's tone, does he want her to do these tasks herself?

Are you kidding me?

Wasn’t it agreed that he brought her here just to solve his eating problem?

Why did she suddenly have to do tasks like cleaning up the dishes and making the beds?

Is he going to treat her as a servant?

Xun Niannian twitched her lips slightly, pretending not to understand, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, do you want to sleep? I will go and call Dong Xing in right away."

She was about to call for help, but Chen Lianhe said, "No need to call Dong Xing, just come."

Xun Nian Nian wants to curse!

Facing Chen Lianhe's slightly raised brows, his answer finally turned into an "Oh".

She could see that this guy was doing it on purpose! He was really treating her like a maid!

Is he trying to make her leave in this way?

Doesn't he think he's being too childish?

Xun Niannian snorted in her heart, held back all the strength in her heart, rolled up her sleeves to clean up the dishes, then came back to make the bed.

"My Lord, the bed is ready. Please go to sleep. I will not disturb you."

After the quilt was made, Xun Niannian didn't want to stay in this room any longer, because she didn't want to see someone's face that deserved a beating!

However, as soon as she raised her foot, Chen Lianhe stopped her and said, "Wait."

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is there anything else I can help you with?" Xun Niannian asked patiently.

Chen Lianhe seemed not to notice the impatience on Xun Niannian's face and pointed at the teapot on the table, "There's no water in the pot, go add some."

"Aren't you going to bed?"

Xun Niannian tried hard to keep a straight expression on her face.

[Ahhh, why is this guy making so many fuss? Isn't it time to go to bed? Why is he drinking tea when he's about to go to bed?]

Listening to the howling in Xun Nian Nian's heart, for some reason, Chen Lianhe felt relaxed and happy. He even didn't feel so tired anymore.

He curled the corners of his lips and said, "Go when I tell you to. I want to drink when I wake up."

Xun Niannian looked at the face that was both fascinating and extremely annoying without any expression, and could only pick up the teapot to add water in anger. When she finished adding the tea and went upstairs, she found that someone had come to Chen Lianhe's room!

Xun Niannian stretched her neck to look inside, but could only see the other person's back.

From the back, they were two men, one old and one young.

“Who’s inside…?” Xun Niannian asked Su Wu who was at the door.

Su Wu said, "It's Qian the Magistrate of Lang County and his nephew Zhu Shao."

Lang County is a county under the jurisdiction of Ling County. As the magistrate of Lang County, it was reasonable for County Magistrate Qian to come and visit when he learned that King He had arrived.

But why did he bring his nephew here?

Could it be that he wanted to ask Chen Lianhe to help find a job for his nephew?

But why does the name Zhu Shao seem vaguely familiar?

Could it be that this person was mentioned in the book she had listened to before?

Xun Niannian tried hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.

She stopped and didn't ask any more questions. She handed the teapot to Su Wu and said, "Since the prince has something to discuss, I won't go in and disturb him. You can take it in for me later."

However, before Su Wu could take the teapot, Chen Lianhe's deep voice came out: "Xun Niannian, bring the tea in yourself!"

Xun Nian Nian: ...

Since she was called out by name, Xun Niannian had no choice but to go into the house.

As she walked toward the small round table, Xun Niannian subconsciously glanced at County Magistrate Qian and his nephew.

Magistrate Qian was quite old, looking to be in his sixties. As for the man next to him, he was quite young, looking to be in his twenties.

He has a handsome appearance, bright features, healthy tan skin, and looks very sunny.

Xun Nian Nian thought to herself, this Zhu Shao is a nice and handsome guy.

She couldn't help but look at him twice more.

However, this unintentional action made Chen Lianhe, who was sitting at the small round table, frown slightly.

At this moment, County Magistrate Qian and Zhu Shao naturally couldn't help but look over at Nian Nian.

They were all guessing Xun Nian Nian's identity.

The woman was dressed in plain clothes, wearing only a plain white silk skirt, and had no extra head ornaments on her head, just a simple silver hairpin to tie her hair up in a bun. In addition, she was holding a teapot in her hand, and she looked like a maid.

But the prince's attitude towards her doesn't seem like that of a simple maid...

By the way, the prince just called her name.

Looking for Nian Nian?

Last name Xun?

Although this surname was not considered a special surname in their Zhunan country, County Magistrate Qian immediately thought of Xun Shangshu who should be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Dali Temple.

The fact that Ling County suffered such a great disaster this time was closely related to the corruption of Shangshu Xun!

In addition, it was no secret that King He married the daughter of Minister Xun.

So, this woman is the daughter of Minister Xun and the princess of Prince He?

When he thought that the woman in front of him might be the daughter of Minister Xun, the look in County Magistrate Qian's eyes changed instantly.

He pretended not to know that she was Princess He and asked no questions, let alone any intention of paying respect to Xun Niannian.

Zhu Shao next to him looked like he was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from County Magistrate Qian.

The quiet atmosphere in the room made Xun Nian Nian feel indescribably uncomfortable.

She wondered in her heart, "Strange, don't Magistrate Qian and his nephew know that I'm the princess? Why don't they bow to me?"

[Of course, I don't have to ask them to bow to me. I don't like these rules. However, it's one thing for me not to like them, and it's another for them to completely ignore me.]

[Could it be that because I was dressed too plainly, they misunderstood me as just Chen Lianhe's maid? ]

[Forget it, forget it. It's just a misunderstanding. If they really saluted me, I wouldn't like it! ]

"Your Majesty, I put the tea here."

He put the teapot on the tray, bowed for a moment, and was about to leave.

Chen Lianhe stopped her and said, "Just wait on the side."

Xun Nian Nian: ...

She looked at Chen Lianhe and asked: Don't you want to discuss something? Is it appropriate for me to be here?

Chen Lianhe glanced at her, and his eyes seemed to respond to her: Just stand here as I told you to!

Xun Niannian pursed her lips, said nothing, and stood there obediently.

Chen Lianhe retracted his gaze and looked at County Magistrate Qian and Zhu Shao again, without deliberately reminding them of Xun Niannian's identity, and spoke.

"Go on, tell me in detail the problem with Lingcheng Reservoir."

When Xun Niannian heard the words "Lingcheng Reservoir", her ears suddenly pricked up.

It turned out that County Magistrate Qian and Zhu Shao came to discuss the Lingcheng Reservoir with Chen Lianhe!

[Did Chen Lianhe understand my hint yesterday and send them to investigate? ]
