Hearing this, the man bowed slightly, a smile lingering in his voice. "Don't worry, my people can't enter the Bibo Hall, but they can get detailed information. The prince comes to the Bibo Hall to rest every day, unless he's in the outer courtyard. I think tonight will be no exception. Besides, the princess and the prince are unhappy about Nanny Hai going to the outer courtyard to serve. She went to the Bibo Hall in person a few days ago. Although there was no quarrel, she left with a sullen look on her face. Didn't you see that on the day the eldest young master moved into his new house, the prince didn't say much to the princess, but Concubine Lin was so happy that her mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear."
The woman nodded. This idiot Xiao Lin had helped her a lot. She didn't know if it was her doing or if there was another expert behind Nanny Hai who had instructed her, but she actually asked the prince to serve in the outer courtyard and even brought Baochun to her side.
It's interesting. If Baochun is a hardworking girl, and with the help of Nanny Hai, it is not impossible for her to become the Ginkgo of the outer courtyard. It all depends on her luck and ability.
The woman reflected carefully. Less than a month after the prince's wedding, he hadn't entered Jing'an Garden. Even when he did go, he never stayed overnight. From what she had arranged and what she had heard, it was clear that the prince hadn't visited his other concubines, nor had he recruited anyone to serve in the outer courtyard or Bibo Hall. So, she was now hoping that the spring herald would come true.
"I didn't come to you so late for this. Whether the prince stays in Jing'an Garden or not has no impact on us. Even if Meng is favored by the prince and becomes pregnant, it doesn't matter. Besides, given the current situation, this is simply impossible. Therefore, you can reduce the number of people in Jing'an Garden and focus on the outer courtyard and Bibo Hall."
The man said in embarrassment, "These two places are like iron barrels, and the Bi Bo Hall is still in the inner house. It is really not easy for me to arrange two people in the yard." The man thought as he spoke, you are quite capable. Those who were arranged in earlier were also sent out by the prince.
The woman hummed, "I know it's difficult. If it were easy, would I bother looking for you?"
This sentence choked the man there. Thinking about what he had gained over the years and the promise made by that person, he calmed down and said, "Yes, I understand. This time, Madam Zihai and Baochun went to the outer courtyard. No matter whether they can stand on their own feet or not, they are still the elders of the mansion. I will give it a try."
"Madam Hai, there's no need to contact them. Xiao Lin is very close to them, and these two are both very tight-lipped. There's no need to ruin our plans over such a small matter. If we get the chance, we'll really bring Baochun over."
"Bringing Spring? Isn't she Madam Hai's?"
"What do you mean by her people? They're just motivated by profit. I heard that Baochun spent a lot of money to find a husband for Madam Hai's black daughter in order to follow her to the outer courtyard."
"Investing such a huge amount of money? Was it Baochunxun?" the man was surprised.
"Yes, so Baochun's ambition must be extraordinary. I just don't know if she is being used by someone else now. You should check it out carefully. Unfortunately, I really can't reach into the outer courtyard, and I only have a few chances to go there in a year." The woman said regretfully.
"Well, don't worry. Since Jing'an Garden doesn't need to be monitored so closely, this amount of manpower is enough. Don't worry, with all the frequent visitors over the years, there must be someone in the outer courtyard who can speak with you. I'll let you know as soon as I find out about Baochun's situation." The man looked up at the moonlight and was about to ask if there was anything else, but the woman said, "I came to see you today for something else."
"you say."
"Who will be accompanying the prince to Prince Cheng's mansion tomorrow?"
"Since it's Hu Changsheng, what's the matter?"
"I know it's him. What I mean is that for Princess Cheng's birthday, there must be a carriage carrying gifts. Who will carry them?"
The man tried hard to see clearly the woman who was wrapped tightly in front of him. It was the middle of summer, and even though it was night, she was still sweating all over when she moved. She could really hold it in.
"What do you mean, what are we going to do by putting people in there?"
The woman nodded, then shook her head. "No, I'm asking you to change something for me."
"Ah? What to change?" the man asked in surprise.
――――――
Yuanyue came into the house and blew out the lantern in her hand.
"So soon?" Yuan Dong took the lantern and hung it up.
"I met Hu Changsheng on the way."
Just now, Song Chengze returned to Bibo Hall, and Meng Qi asked Yuanyue to hold a lantern to lead the way for him.
"Has the princess gone to bed?" Yuan Yue looked towards the east room.
"Not yet. I just finished checking the list to be sent to Prince Cheng's Mansion tomorrow."
Yuan Yue said, "Did you get the order?"
Yuan Dong nodded. "Yes, a large one. In the past, the invoices for transactions with various royal palaces were handled by Madam Hai. As you know, Madam Liu went to ask for it twice, but Madam Hai said it was gone. So Zhang Decheng brought it in again."
Yuanyue snorted, "You're so short-sighted." Then she was about to go to the east room. "Hey, what are you doing?" Yuandong held her back.
"I have something to tell the princess."
Meng Qi looked at the list of gifts for Princess Cheng's birthday on the table and felt a headache. Why were there so many? With so many things, she was afraid that she would need a car just for it.
Hearing Yuanyue announcing at the door that she was coming in, Meng Qi put away the list and responded.
"The prince has returned?"
"yes."
Yuan Yue watched Meng Qi walk to the bedside and quickly went over to take off her shoes. "When I just came back, I passed by the west side yard and saw someone going east from there."
Meng Qi got on the bed and asked, "Why? Do you know each other?"
Yuan Yue shook her head. "It was dark, and the lantern blew out on my way back, so I couldn't see clearly. It was just so hot, and the man was wrapped up tightly in black. It was obvious he didn't want anyone to recognize him. I just found it strange."
