Besides her clothes, there were also Yu Nanqing's clothes.
However, Yu Nanqing is asleep now, so there's no way to wake him up to see, otherwise she would have liked to show off to him.
Thinking about it, Su Wanyan suddenly remembered that tomorrow was the day to change Yu Nanqing's dressing.
Hmm, I'll change it for him after I come back from the blacksmith shop tomorrow.
In addition to this, there was something even more important: Emperor Yuanhe assigned her two personal maids to serve her.
In Su Wanyan's eyes, even personal maids were just waiting for her to die.
After the servants cleaned up, Su Wanyan realized that the main courtyard was actually quite large. However, because it had been abandoned before, Su Wanyan had never been there and thought there was only one building in front.
In reality, the entire main courtyard not only has a front yard and a back yard, but also a central courtyard, and the house facing the front yard is the main house.
There are four side rooms on the left and right sides of the main house. The main house has a main hall and side halls, all of which can be used to entertain guests. Turn left from the main hall and walk in to find the main bedroom.
When Su Wanyan broke into the main courtyard on her first night, she saw a small bridge and a stream in the front yard. There was actually a pavilion next to the bridge and stream, but because of the weeds, Su Wanyan always had the illusion that the pavilion was very small.
Now that the weeds in the front yard had mostly disappeared, Su Wanyan realized that the pavilion could accommodate at least ten or twenty people. On a nice day, it would be very pleasant to drink tea and relax there.
The main house also has a small kitchen, which has been abandoned for a long time.
Behind the main house is the central courtyard, a large square open space paved with marble, surrounded by landscaping. Beyond the landscaping is the main courtyard's cloister, which runs through the entire main courtyard, connecting the front yard, the central courtyard, and the back yard.
Because of the weeds, Su Wanyan hadn't noticed how this abandoned open space was designed when she slipped out from the front yard to the back yard.
Walking further in from the central courtyard leads to the backyard, where rows of side rooms were built on both sides. These rooms were for the maids and servants who served in the main courtyard, but of course, they had been abandoned for a long time.
Although the main courtyard is divided into a front yard, a central courtyard, and a back yard, Su Wanyan actually felt that the entire main courtyard was surrounded by a huge garden.
The main courtyard is very large, and it's definitely impossible to finish cleaning it in just half a day. Su Wanyan only went around to check the general area, mainly to see if the crooked tree in the backyard was still there.
She glanced at the waist-high weeds from afar before returning to the main house, having not yet finished clearing them.
These servants all came from the palace; strictly speaking, they were all palace maids, but they changed into maidservant attire before coming to the Prince's residence.
If it weren't for Emperor Yuanhe's instructions, to be honest, these palace maids were quite efficient. They all kept their heads down and did their own thing, neither asking questions nor making a fuss, and they were obedient.
For example, if you ask them not to make any noise when tidying up the main room, they really will tidy up quietly without making a sound.
Seeing that the door inside the house was clean and the dust was gone, Su Wanyan's mood improved.
She could finally sit comfortably in the grand chair in the main hall, without any fear of getting her bottom covered in dust.
Because they weren't allowed to make any noise, the cleaning in the main room was slower than outside. Su Wanyan slumped comfortably in the hall, waiting. If she could have a sip of hot water to relieve her fatigue, that would be perfect.
"Your Majesty." Just then, the two personal maids sent by Emperor Yuanhe to serve her entered respectfully from outside, curtsied, and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready. Would you like us to bring it over now?"
The two maids were pretty and delicate, and their bowed heads and downcast eyes made them look exceptionally submissive.
Su Wanyan glanced at the sky outside, which was not yet completely dark, and nodded: "Bring it over."
It's good to have someone to wait on you.
Since she didn't intend to keep them by her side indefinitely, Su Wanyan didn't even ask their names.
The maid in pink said "Yes" and left, leaving the maid in blue still in the hall.
She handed over a card: "Your Majesty, this is a card from the Eldest Princess."
"What? An invitation from the eldest princess?"
Whenever she thought of the eldest princess, she recalled the way she saw her at the entrance of the Imperial Study this morning—ambitious, noble, and proud.
But she doesn't have any connection with the princess, so why would she send her an invitation?
She took the invitation from the maid, opened it, and glanced at it. It was an invitation from the eldest princess to host a banquet at the princess's residence on the 18th of October, where they would enjoy wine, flowers, dances, and music.
It will happen in the next day or two.
The original owner had little memory of the eldest princess.
Su Wanyan couldn't help but recall the gossip she had overheard on the street: the eldest princess... seemed to have kept quite a few male concubines.
She didn't know the princess, and the princess wasn't necessarily that kind to Yu Nanqing. She didn't think the princess invited her to the banquet out of goodwill.
Can we skip this?
If I go, there will definitely be many powerful and influential people at the banquet.
She doesn't understand the local etiquette and rules. What if she offends the princess? Will she be in danger?
But she is the eldest princess. If she doesn't go, won't the eldest princess make a big deal out of it and use her as a breakthrough to deal with Prince Gong's Mansion?
Wouldn't all the breathing room she had managed to gain be wasted?
The eldest princess... she shouldn't be that petty, after all, her status is what it is.
Just as he was deep in thought, a loud "boom" suddenly came from the main room, followed by a series of screams from the maids!
Startled, Su Wanyan jumped up from her seat instantly: "What happened? What happened?"
She rushed into the main room: "What happened?"
Upon entering, one sees a group of maids lying on the ground in agony, blood gushing from their mouths, some of them even fainting.
Those who weren't injured quickly scrambled to their feet, trembling as they knelt on the ground: "This servant deserves to die... Your Highness, please calm your anger..."
Su Wanyan stared wide-eyed as she looked up and saw Yu Nanqing, his expression cold and aloof, supporting himself and glaring at them with unsteady breaths. One of his hands was still in the motion of unleashing a palm strike. He gritted his teeth and uttered a single word in a gloomy tone: "Get lost!"
His vigilance was getting worse and worse; these people had stayed in his room for so long without him noticing at all!
"What are you doing?" Su Wanyan was speechless. "They came in to tidy up the room!"
Yu Nanqing's face turned deathly pale, and his body, which he was barely holding together, swayed precariously. Upon hearing this, he looked coldly at Su Wanyan and, in a fit of rage, squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "I don't need it!"
However, his anger had no effect on Su Wanyan: "I need it, brother!"
She approached Yu Nanqing: "You can't expect me to do everything by myself, can you?"
In modern times, she was someone who never lifted a finger to do housework. After transmigrating here, serving him was already more than enough for her. This house is so big, he can't expect her to clean it too, can he?
