Song Chengze smiled when he heard Zhang Decheng say this. "You're right. Fortunately, I haven't completely lost. God still sees my difficulties. If the princess can agree to this matter and do a good job, I think what Uncle Lu said just now is right. I can have another helper, and it's a helper in a position that we have always been unable to reach."
Zhang Decheng bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will investigate Wang Chenghai carefully and will not let the princess use the wrong person. As for Li Mancang..."
"Don't move yet. He's an old fox. He didn't show his tail before because I haven't really brought the matter to the table with him. Old Zhang, I have a feeling that in the next two years, the outcome will be clear, and then those demons and monsters in the mansion will make their appearance."
Zhang Decheng watched Song Chengze walk towards the door while talking, and quickly took the cloak and put it on Song Chengze, carefully tying the belt for him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. You also said that if we don't let them stir up some waves, some things will be difficult for us to discover. Besides, the princess has already started to deal with these monsters and demons. Your Highness, just focus on dealing with the affairs of the palace. I think the princess is capable of taking on the responsibility."
Song Chengze nodded, "I hope we are not mistaken."
Zhang Decheng called his apprentice Hu Changsheng to follow Song Chengze into the second gate of the inner house.
――――――
Wang Chenghai walked into Jing'an Garden with his chest puffed out. He now walked with a breeze, no longer like he was more than a month ago, when even his proud disciple Li Mancang was hunched over.
After he firmly stood by the new princess who no one was optimistic about, everything started to develop in a good direction. Although the princess and the prince were still in a turmoil every day, leading Li Mancang to gloat and say that he was sick and seeking medical help everywhere, he just had a hunch that the princess was definitely not an ordinary person.
In reality, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if the prince truly disliked the princess, so what? He wouldn't divorce her, would he? As long as Meng Qi remained the princess, with her unyielding character, he would be completely devoted to her. This was definitely better than before.
Wang Chenghai was well versed in the art of being a servant. The most important thing was loyalty; one must never have two hearts. Fence-sitting never ends well. Another was strictness; keeping one's mouth shut was the key to survival. The third was agility: agile eyes, agile heart, and even more so, agile hands and feet. Gathering all kinds of useful information was the key to earning one's master's trust.
Wang Chenghai knew that he had no way out, and he didn't want to retreat. Following a master who was unwilling to suffer losses, he would naturally not be bullied.
Look, it’s only been a short time and Zhang Decheng’s attitude towards me has changed, even though the old guy didn’t smile in the first place.
"Princess, Eunuch Wang is here." San Ya announced.
After getting permission, Wang Chenghai walked into the east room with his back bent to greet Meng Qi.
"What's the matter, Eunuch Wang?"
"I don't deserve it. If the princess thinks highly of me, calling me Xiao Haizi would be a great honor to me."
Meng Qi burst out laughing. This Wang Chenghai was really different from others. Not only was he smart, but he also spoke in a pleasant way.
"Stop talking nonsense. What's the matter?" Mother Liu asked from the side.
"It was Eunuch Zhang from the outer courtyard who greeted me and said that the prince had gone to Bibo Hall."
Meng Qi put away her smile. They had agreed to go to Bibo Hall to discuss matters in the evening. However, she didn't expect that Zhang Decheng didn't let Hu Changsheng come, but arranged for Wang Chenghai to tell her.
Is this a trust in Wang Chenghai or a test for him?
Meng Qi nodded and said, "Yuan Dong, bring me your cloak. Tell Xiao Man to put on the cloak as well. Bring the sweet soup and follow me to Bi Bo Tang."
When Yuan Dong heard Meng Qi's instructions, he knew that she didn't want others to know, so he quickly responded and went to prepare.
"You can go back. I believe Mother Liu has already told you what you need to pay attention to recently. Remember, don't alert the enemy." Meng Qi stood up and said in a deep voice.
Wang Chenghai said solemnly, "Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do."
Meng Qi let Mama Liu put Yuan Dong's cloak on her. "As for Li Mancang, don't worry about what he says. But you don't have to be afraid of him either. Show the power of the most important eunuch around your princess and don't embarrass me. Do you understand?"
Wang Chenghai was stunned at first, then he smiled broadly, "I see. I know what to do now."
Meng Qi smiled slightly. Wang Chenghai seemed to understand what she meant. If the princess was outspoken, her subordinates would naturally not be timid. Sometimes, it was safer to openly seek information than to be cautious.
