Chapter 348 It’s good to have someone to support you

When the maids who were happy heard the voice, they turned pale with fright, turned their heads and knelt down reflexively.

It was His Highness!

"Your Highness, calm down! I, I am..."

The princess didn't expect that she came to see the maids who were supposed to serve Mu Hua, who were all laughing and playing around the round table because she was worried that Mu Hua was not adapting well and didn't sleep well last night.

The person who was supposed to be served was sitting in front of the dressing table, holding a pearl flower on her head and gesturing, as if she was worried and hesitant, not knowing which one to use.

The princess was furious.

"I asked you to serve the young lady, do you think you are the master?"

"I dare not, Your Highness, please spare my life! I really..."

Seeing this, Xu Muhua stood up quickly, "Stepmother, don't be angry, this is a misunderstanding."

She walked quickly to the side of the princess and held her arm, explaining, "It's not that they didn't serve me well, they are all very good and respect me. I let them play with the big and small spots because I saw that everything was done. Aunt Qi was here just now, she just left, and you, stepmother, came right after."

The princess first glanced at the trembling maid kneeling on the ground with dignity, and then looked at Xu Muhua suspiciously, "Really? If they have neglected you, you can't be soft-hearted and cover it up for them. You are my adopted daughter, and I will not allow anyone to bully you or ignore you!"

"Really! Do I look like the kind of person who would keep silent when wronged and swallow the bitterness? When I was in the Duke Cheng's Mansion, there were only two or three people serving me. Now so many of them come at once, how can I use them?"

"I saw that they were very curious about the birds I raised, so I let them play for a while. I will come here often in the future so that they can get familiar with the birds I raise, so that when they fly here in the future, there won't be any misunderstandings and people won't hurt them!"

This explanation makes sense.

"Stepmother, you know me well. I am always generous to the people who serve me. As long as they don't betray me, I am happy to get used to them."

The princess thought of Shi Liu and Wu Er, glared at her unhappily, then looked at the maids kneeling on the ground and said, "Since the young lady has allowed it, I won't care about it. But you must remember how good the young lady is to you, understand?"

"I understand!"

Several maids were frightened and sweated.

The princess is not a master who likes to torture servants, but if the servants make mistakes, she will not be merciful. Moreover, His Highness is the most particular about rules. Seeing that they did not serve the young lady and were playing around, if it were normal times, they would definitely be severely punished.

Fortunately, the young lady helped to explain.

Although it was the young lady who asked them to play with the three birds, she is the master, and if she doesn't speak up to help plead, it's not her fault. As servants, they have seen a lot of this kind of thing.

It was clearly the master's fault, but in the end it was the servants who took the responsibility.

Who made them lose their lives?

It's good enough that the young lady can plead for them!

No wonder His Highness likes the young lady so much!

"Okay, all of you go down! Don't do it again in the future!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Miss. I will remember your teachings in the future."

After several servants left, the princess said, "You, I know you are kind-hearted, and you have a kind heart no matter who you are. But don't go too far, good people will be bullied!"

Xu Muhua really wanted to ask what happened that made the princess misunderstand her like this?

But she couldn't deny that she was kind!

So she could only show an awkward but polite smile.

"Why did my stepmother come here so early in the morning?"

Xu Muhua asked.

"I was worried that you were not used to it and did not sleep well because it was your first time staying at the Princess's Mansion last night. I came to check on you. If you did not sleep well and you still feel sleepy, you can come back and lie down after breakfast."

Xu Muhua shook her head, "I am not used to it. I slept very well. The bed that my stepmother prepared for me is very comfortable, even more comfortable than the bed in Fenghua Garden!"

"Is that so? Why don't you move this bed back to sleep, and I will prepare a better, bigger and newer one for you!"

Xu Muhua: That's not necessary.

If people knew that she moved the bed from the Princess's Mansion back to the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, who knows what bad words would be said! I guarantee that someone would say that she had just become the Princess's adopted daughter, and she couldn't wait to start moving things to the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion.

She can't afford this crime.

"Haha, forget it, I'll come often in the future."

The princess liked to hear this.

"You have to come often, otherwise you will be married!"

After a pause, the princess said, "But it doesn't matter even if you get married. The princess's mansion is also your natal home, you can come back anytime. If your future husband's family dares to have any opinions, I will go to their house in person to tell them!"

Xu Muhua's eyes lit up.

It's good to have someone to support you!

She pretended to be shy, "What are you talking about, stepmother? I haven't even reached the age of marriage yet, what are you talking about marriage! If people hear it, they will think I'm eager to get married?"

The eldest princess smiled and tapped her forehead lightly, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. What's there to be embarrassed about? You'd better think about it earlier. Think about what kind of husband you want to find. I will pay attention for you and help you choose a good marriage."

The eldest princess was not just talking casually.

She had considered Xu Muhua's marriage a long time ago.

Not to mention that she was originally a lady from the Duke of Chengguo's mansion, with a high status, and now she is the adopted daughter of the eldest princess. The man she is going to marry in the future must first have a decent status, and then the character and talent must also be good, otherwise how can he be worthy of her?

More importantly, this person must be sincere to Muhua. Even if you take a concubine after marriage, you must never do such a ridiculous thing as favoring the concubine and destroying the wife.

The princess didn't want to find a man like the prince consort for Xu Muhua, but she knew it was too difficult. Looking at the entire Yong noble family, there are only a handful of men like the prince consort.

It would be the best if you can meet one, but if you can't, will you just waste your life like this? Impossible, so you can only settle for the second best.

Taking concubines is not scary. What is scary is that a man is manipulated by a concubine and ignores his wife, allowing the concubine to ride on the head of his wife and run wild and dominate.

The one at Taifu's Mansion is a good example.

Nowadays, whenever people in the capital mention this kind of thing, Mr. Pei will be mentioned as a negative example.
