"Of course. Even if I can't find what the prince is looking for, what if I find something else? I've finally come in once, I can't go back empty-handed."
Yuan Dong nodded. "So which one should we look for today?"
"Don't worry. Wait until Wang Chenghai comes. I'll lose my temper and not allow those two palace maids to stay in the courtyard. You just need to guard the gate. I'll take care of him from behind."
Yuan Dong smiled and said, "I see that there's no need for the princess to lose her temper. Those two palace maids are eager to run away."
Meng Qi chuckled. "Don't go too far. If you really can't drive them out, just lock them up in the two small rooms at the back of the building. Just don't let them come to the back. I'll leave this task to you."
"I guarantee to complete the task." Yuan Dong said playfully.
Meng Qi walked around again, with a plan in mind. When they returned, Wang Chenghai was chatting with Hu Changsheng. Seeing Meng Qi turn the small door, he hurried forward and bowed, "Princess, did you have a good rest yesterday?"
Meng Qi looked at Wang Chenghai, who was beaming with joy, and said with a smile, "Why are you so happy? This is Hanyuan. You're going to be locked up here for a month."
"It's okay to be locked up for a year. As long as I can serve the princess, it will be a blessing for me." As Wang Chenghai said this, he stretched out his arm and let Meng Qi hold it up to the stairs of the main room.
Meng Qi was even happier. Wang Chenghai must be happy to see that he was sent here and knew that he was being valued.
"In that case, you should go back. I told you yesterday that if you can't do it or encounter difficulties, go find Mama Liu or Yuanyue first. If that doesn't work, ask the prince to help you." Meng Qi said in a low voice.
Hu Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, I will leave now."
Looking at the two palace maids standing at the door like wooden stakes, Meng Qi waved her hand and went into the house.
Wang Chenghai followed him into the house, and Yuan Dong walked towards the two palace maids guarding the gate.
Seeing all the bags on the table, Meng Qi was stunned at first, then asked, "How did they let you bring them in?"
"These bundles have been torn apart by them. They were looked at once when they entered the palace gate, again when they entered the Xining Gate, and once again when they entered the inner palace gate. Just now, the chief steward of the six western palaces looked at them again."
Meng Qi sat down and Wang Chenghai quickly poured her tea.
"What did you bring?"
"Some clothes and utensils were given to me by Mother Liu last night. There are also writing brushes, ink, a book of women's training and the Heart Sutra. Those were brought in by the prince." Wang Chenghai said cautiously.
Meng Qi looked at a red box on the table, smiled slightly, raised her hand to open it, and sure enough, there were the two books, with a stack of paper, an inkstone, ink, and a pen underneath.
This Song Chengze is quite thoughtful and looks quite conscientious. She didn't think of taking paper and pen, after all, maybe she could really use it.
Wang Chenghai eagerly opened the two bundles and found medicine and several storybooks inside.
"I brought that storybook because I was afraid the princess would find it boring and it would be a good way to relieve her boredom. It's a pity that Xiao Chunzi can't come in. If he could come, he could tell the princess a story every day and she wouldn't feel lonely anymore."
Xiao Chunzi was Wang Chenghai's apprentice and often followed Wang Chenghai to Jing'an Garden.
"Can he tell stories?" Meng Qi asked.
"He can tell stories. Before he entered the palace, his father was a storyteller. He would walk the streets with his father all day, telling stories to people." Wang Chenghai glanced at Meng Qi, and seeing Meng Qi's interested expression, he continued, "Later, when he was telling stories to a wealthy family, the young master of that family died in front of his father. The family said that his father had done something and was arrested. He sold himself to save his father, and was later sold to the palace by a human trafficker. The following year, after being castrated, he was sent to the palace and has been with the servants ever since."
Meng Qi sighed, "Where's his father?"
Wang Chenghai shook his head. "He was sentenced to immediate execution. When he first arrived at the mansion, he was still thinking about getting out. But after hearing the news, he became quiet. We were originally dependent on each other."
Seeing that Meng Qi didn't say anything else, Wang Chenghai thought for a moment, smiled, and whispered, "Princess, I took the initiative to bring something."
Meng Qi said "oh" with a puzzled look on her face.
