Chapter 19: There is no Butler Huang in the Gu Mansion
"Your Highness must pretend to be sick for a while, and just drink the medicine I bring you every day," He Zhilin said, "Don't worry, the medicine is just a tonic, it has no other effect."
"Okay." Jiang Xue replied.
"Your Highness is wronged."
"Why feel wronged?" Jiang Xue said, "Brother He gave me a perfect excuse not to sleep with him. I am so happy."
She smiled, and He Zhilin was stunned.
As they were talking, Xiaochun said outside the door: "Your Highness, Butler Huang wants to see you."
Jiang Xue sat down, stretched out her fair wrist, and gently supported her forehead with her hand.
Seeing this, Jiang Yu also sat down in the main seat.
Jiang Xue said weakly: "Let Uncle Huang come in."
As soon as Huang Fufang stepped into the main hall of Chaolu Hall, he saw Jiang Xue leaning weakly on a chair.
He heard Jiang Yu, who was sitting next to him, asking Yan Zhe:
"How long will it take for Xue'er's symptoms to improve?"
Huang Fu glanced at the three of them, then knelt down and saluted:
"I, Huang Fu, greet the Second Prince and the Princess."
Jiang Yu saw him come in, but ignored him and turned to Xiaochun and said:
"Xiaochun, Huang Fu may not have had time to inform you, so I will do it for you."
"From now on, there will be no Butler Huang in the Gu Mansion."
Huang Fu looked terrified.
Jiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Huang Fu is old and frail. I have discussed with your Prince Consort. From now on, he will only be responsible for your Prince Consort's daily life."
"As for the position of housekeeper, I think it would be appropriate for you to take over, with Fudong's assistance."
"What do you two think?"
"Your Highness, Xiaochun Fudong will definitely fulfill your mission."
Xiaochun agreed generously, and Fudong also nodded in agreement.
Huang Fu knelt stiffly on the ground, his face looking very ugly, filled with fear and embarrassment.
"Uncle Huang, please get up quickly." Jiang Xue's weak voice sounded.
"My brother is also thinking that you are too old to work hard. But there are still things that need to be taken care of by the Prince Consort."
Jiang Xue comforted him, and Huang Fu could only say gratefully:
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
"Is dinner ready?" Jiang Xue asked again, "Doctor Yan was serving me medicine just now, so he must have delayed us."
"Is the Prince Consort impatient?"
When Jiang Xue asked this, Huang Fu hurriedly replied:
"No, no, dinner has just been prepared. The master asked me to come and invite the two princes to dinner, and also told me to wait patiently. If the two princes have something else to talk about, please do not disturb them."
"You are so thoughtful, my prince consort." Jiang Xue said, "There is nothing to talk about. It's just that my prince is worried about my health, so he asked Doctor Yan a few more questions."
"Yes." Huang Fu said, and could only stand up awkwardly and stand aside.
Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Yu's leisurely and contented look, not wanting to move at all. She also looked at the beads of sweat on Huang Fu's forehead and his hesitant expression. She knew that even if Jiang Yu couldn't make things worse, he would still have to save the face of Gu Lintan and the Gu family.
But it was not worthwhile to offend Huang Fu at this moment. She knew that Jiang Yu wanted to save the favor for her, so she said:
"Brother, I am sorry for the delay. I am a little hungry."
She showed a coquettish look and said, "Brother, please accompany me to dinner first, and don't let Uncle Huang wait in vain."
Huang Fu showed gratitude on his face and looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu said: "Okay, then I will go with you."
"Doctor Yan, would you like to stay with us?" Jiang Xue asked.
Although she seemed to be looking at He Zhilin, her eyes actually swept over Huang Bo.
Sure enough, when this question was asked, Huang Fu moved instantly, opened his mouth slightly, and then closed it again.
He Zhilin showed his smooth-talking and careless look from the morning again and replied:
"Your Excellencies, please have a meal. I am a commoner and I am afraid I will not feel comfortable here. Your Highness, please let me go back."
He covered his mouth and said, "If I had this much time, I might as well meet a few more beauties and spend a good night together."
Huang Fu looked embarrassed when he heard this.
The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
When He Zhilin was the prince's study companion in his early years, the two often sneaked out of the palace to play together.
Although he was very casual and unrestrained at that time, he also didn't know how to speak... He was so dissolute and frivolous.
It turns out that he has been hanging around in the market for many years.
Jiang Yu looked displeased and said, "Doctor Yan, you'd better focus on the princess. If the princess's condition doesn't improve after a while——"
"Don't stay in this capital city."
As soon as these words came out, He Zhilin immediately said:
"I was just joking."
He laughed dryly a few times, and seeing that no one was talking, he said, "I will go back and study the ancient recipe carefully, and I will definitely ensure that Her Royal Highness the Princess is healthy and lives a thousand years."
Jiang Yu nodded.
Jiang Xue said, "Brother Emperor, let's go over there. The Prince Consort is still waiting."
The two were about to leave, but Jiang Xue saw Huang Fu frowning, as if hesitating about something.
She pursed her lips and said, "Doctor Yan, you have worked hard today. Do you need me to send someone to take you back?"
He Zhilin immediately responded, "Thank you, Princess, for your consideration. The Gu Mansion is really huge, and I don't really know the way around—"
"Why not let Butler Huang——"
Jiang Yu glared at him.
He changed the topic and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Huang to take me there?"
Huang Fu said: "This..."
Jiang Xue said, "Then I'll trouble Uncle Huang to escort Master Yan back."
She and Jiang Yu looked at each other and said, "My brother and I can go over and have dinner by ourselves."
Huang Fu suppressed his joy and said, "I obey your orders."
Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu left leisurely, followed closely by Xiaochun Fudong and two Wu Anlang.
Huang Fu made a "please" gesture and said:
"Mr. Yan, I'll take you out."
The two of them walked to the gate and stopped in the garden.
Huang Fu waited for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, he walked to He Zhilin and whispered in his ear:
"There will be many people in the mansion from now on, so my master invites you to meet at Huijiang Tower at 2:45 pm tonight to enjoy the moonlight together."
"knew."
He Zhilin said calmly, "Tell your master for me that I have asked the princess to take the medicine. I am afraid that she will feel uncomfortable starting today."
"If she is really in pain, she can just ask someone to come and ask me."
"Okay." Huang Fu replied.
He was always on the lookout for anyone nearby, and when he saw a servant approaching, he shouted:
"The Gu family is deeply grateful for your kindness in treating the princess. That is the door. I will take you there."
"No need." He Zhilin said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for sending me here. Go and serve the princess and her husband. Remember to remind the princess to get more rest."
After saying this, he walked towards the gate, waving as he walked.
"I can walk these few steps by myself."
Huang Fu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to walk towards the east courtyard.
But he almost bumped into a young man.
The young man grinned and said, "Uncle Huang, have you sent Doctor Yan away?"
"Just left," Huang Fu pointed at the gate and said unhappily, "Which courtyard are you from? You walk so recklessly."
"I am the guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Jiang Qibin." The young man said, "Sister Xiaochun asked me to come and find you."
