Chapter 216: Life in Hand
"Empress!" Nanny Zhao came in neatly dressed.
"Madam Zhao." Mo Yi felt relieved when she saw her coming.
"Your Majesty, you look so beautiful today!" Madam Zhao looked at her carefully.
"Really?!" Mo Yi touched his scalp, "The jewelry that Lan Xing found for me...just hurts my scalp."
Madam Zhao smiled. "All beautiful jewelry is like this. Madam is here to accompany you to meet the guests today."
"Thank goodness Mammy is here. I've been standing here for a while and still haven't figured out what's going on."
"You are a princess, and a newlywed, so the most important thing today is to recognize you. There is nothing wrong. Don't worry!"
"In front, the Fourteenth Master has arrived, and the Zhao brothers are also here, so they can help to receive most of the male guests. The prince is in the small study, meeting the guests alone. Just now, the nanny has already checked that the tea, meals, and reception are all well prepared."
Mo Yi looked around. Today's maids were all wearing blue and pink clothes and had the same headbands on their heads.
The housekeeper was wearing a blue dress and a gold hairpin.
The male steward in front was wearing black, and the servants were wearing black and blue clothes.
They all look clean and tidy and full of energy.
"It's troublesome to prepare such a banquet, right?"
"Actually, once you get used to it, it's not that difficult. You need to have the right people under you, set up the rules and assign tasks, and then check the results level by level. It's not that difficult."
At this time, Concubine Feng came with her people, "Your Majesty, Aunt Zhao."
"Thank you for your hard work, Concubine Feng." Mo Yi nodded.
When Concubine Feng saw Mo Yi's dress, she felt miserable.
It seems that I have been so busy for many days that I can't sleep well at night. Things keep going over and over again... I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even have time to go to the Zhao family...
And she just dresses like this and waits for customers to socialize?
It turns out that I am destined to be a housekeeper!
She was indignant in her heart, but she had an appropriate smile on her face: "This is what I should do. Your Majesty and Madam Zhao, please take a look. If there are any problems or changes that need to be made, please send someone to tell me immediately."
Madam Zhao smiled and said, "I just looked around and everything is fine. Concubine Feng is doing things properly."
Concubine Feng smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam. I have something else to do, so I will go there first."
"Okay. Go ahead and get busy." Mo Yi nodded.
"Yes." Concubine Feng turned around and left with a few people.
Nanny Zhao took Mo Yi and started walking around.
Walking around the hall, "Our prince's mansion has a predecessor. When it was allocated to the prince, it was only expanded and added a little. But the prince is often not in the mansion, and his mind is not on this.
You have to know that if you want to support an army, you can't do it without silver, food, weapons and horses. This requires a lot of silver! It didn't cost much to build the palace. Most palaces have theaters and viewing pavilions, but our palace doesn't have them. All the materials are practical. "
"But in my opinion, it is already quite luxurious."
"In recent years, I have had more money, so I renovated a few places. The garden of the Yong'an County Prince's Mansion is luxurious. In addition to not violating the rules, everything is the latest and best."
There was a long table against the wall of the main hall, on which were placed tea stoves and snacks. There were two pretty girls serving tea.
"It's still cold now, so we don't have a seat outside. We've got some simple snacks here, including our sesame candy, walnut candy, and chestnut cake, all of which are unique. You can have a piece while you drink tea."
"Mammy, does the prince like sweet food?"
Aunt Zhao was satisfied. She had noticed yesterday that the prince and the princess got along very well. "The prince is not picky about food. He often lives in the open air. When he is on the march, it is good to have a bowl of hot meat soup to drink."
Mo Yi said casually: "My meat wontons and shepherd's purse wontons are both well made. I will make them for the prince later."
"You have a small kitchen in your house, you can buy some food and make some snacks. Just don't fry or stir-fry, otherwise the fumes will enter the house and it will be unbearable."
"Um."
"This is for guests to change clothes."
After entering the main door, there are large compartments with hangers, chairs, wash basins, and mirrors. A small door leads to the inner room... It is used for the convenience.
Smoked with incense...
“So many rooms?”
"There are too many guests, and this is not enough. The cleaners cannot stop. The toilets have to be changed constantly, with lids on. Go out through this small door, which leads to a long corridor to the backyard. After washing, the toilets are sent back... away from the guests."
"If you hadn't told me that, I wouldn't have thought of that..."
“It’s as important as the meal.”
"Cousin-in-law!" The Zhao sisters arrived.
"We are here to accompany your cousin's wife. Just tell us what you want us to do!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
The two aunts followed behind them.
"Aunt." Mo Yi hurriedly greeted them.
After talking for a while, guests arrived one after another.
When entering from the second gate, the first thing you have to do is pass the test of Concubine Feng.
Concubine Feng knew everyone who came.
She knew her position, so she didn't put on airs. She greeted everyone politely no matter who came.
She knew all about the people who gave New Year gifts before the New Year, and she would say a few more words.
Seeing that everyone who came was very friendly to me, I felt a little more comfortable.
But when people saw Mo Yi, it was still Zhao Ma who introduced her...
Everyone knew who Zhao Ma was, not to mention the wives and girls of the Zhao family, all standing around the princess, which further highlighted the prince's recognition of the princess.
Therefore, everyone's greater enthusiasm was focused on Mo Yi again.
Laughing and talking, full of compliments.
Concubine Feng was already sensitive to this, and now she felt that she was making things easier for others...
The evil thoughts in my heart could not be suppressed and burst out.
…
Zhang Debao and his family also came, and they were divided into two groups.
Because Zhang Debao went to Mo's house early in the morning with Mo Fan. And at this moment, he was in the front study with Li Chang, busy with everything.
Everyone knows the relationship between Li Chang and Li Jing, but what is the relationship between Zhang Debao and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?
What is he doing here?
Although no one paid much attention to him, everyone knew him.
Many people secretly looked at it with curiosity.
Mrs. Zhang then came with her husband. Seeing her father appear, Zhang Debao acted like half the owner, "Dad, I found a good place for you. Come... sit here. It's warm.
"My son has seen it all. Today the palace prepared oolong tea, and they are afraid that you may have stomach problems. And... whisper, the prince also asked someone to make milk tea... but not much. Look, my son has prepared a copper pot for you and put it on the stove. Here is the cup, you keep it, and drink it by yourself while it is hot, haha!"
Uncle Zhang looked at his silly son and grinned bitterly: Who are you, kid? How dare you mess around in the palace?
"Uncle Zhang!" Mo Fan also came, holding a small plate with snacks and candies in it, "Please eat it with tea."
The sickly and spoiled Mr. Zhang always gave gifts to curry favor with others. But now, he became the center of attention.
"He, when did he get the prince's eyes?" someone asked in a low voice.
"I don't know! Lao Zhang... I rarely see you. How are you?" Someone went over to greet him.
Madam Zhang was in the back, and she was in a good mood today. When she saw Mo Yuan in the crowd, she was more pleasing to the eye than yesterday...
When she went home yesterday, she discussed this matter with her son. She felt that she had compromised and could not say that it was her turn.
But my son won't let me control...
Isn't this nonsense?
If I don’t care about his marriage, who will?
Finally, the silly son muttered that he was worried that the girl didn't like him, so he had to behave well and wait for her to agree. Otherwise, if he made it clear, the relationship would become awkward and it would be difficult for them to get along in the future.
Mrs. Zhang pointed at her stupid son for a long time without saying a word and almost beat him!
He was afraid that the girl would look down on him? !
I only accepted him because of his hard work and progress, but she still doesn't like him? !
Crazy.
The two of them were getting more and more angry, and finally the son said: The prince wants Mo Fan to go to the big competition in June, and the son wants to go too...
This time, Mrs. Zhang was stuck again...
The old couple began to discuss how many gifts to give and who to find.
If my son wants to make progress, of course I have to support him!
well……
Mrs. Zhang sighed: No matter how powerful I am, my life is still in the hands of this stupid son.
