Jiang Si's eyes moved between the two girls: "Teach the palace maids?"
Nanny Ji had a blank expression on her face, and her voice rose slightly: "Princess, you may not know that the royal family has always had such a rule. When a prince reaches the age of fourteen, he will be taught by palace maids in sexual intercourse. When the prince was fourteen, he was far away in southern Xinjiang and did not follow the rules. Fortunately, the emperor loved him and specially appointed these two palace maids to teach him before the prince's wedding..."
Jiang Siping listened quietly.
Nanny Ji paused for a moment and said sternly, "I didn't expect the prince to keep his distance from the two palace maids. There is no order without rules. Now that the princess has entered the palace, she will be in charge of the huge palace. Please give me your instructions on how to arrange the two palace maids."
"What are your names, ladies?"
The two maids looked at each other, and the one in the pink skirt knelt down and said, "My name is Jiangzhu."
Another maid in green followed and said, "My name is Qingyu."
Jiang Si looked at Nanny Ji and asked, "Before I got married, how did Jiangzhu and Qingyu arrange things?"
When this was mentioned, Nanny Ji got furious.
It was clearly the Emperor who gave her to the prince as a concubine, but the prince gave her to her.
How could she know how to properly arrange such a hot potato? If she got word that they had to do the heavy work, she would have no way to explain herself, and if she did nothing, she would be violating the prince's orders. In the end, she had no choice but to let the two of them be responsible for the management of the spices for the time being.
"In charge of spices?" Jiang Si smiled when she heard Nanny Ji say this. "The two girls were gifted by the emperor. They are more valuable than the maids in the palace, and spices are also valuable. In my opinion, Nanny's arrangement of the two girls in charge of spices is very appropriate. They complement each other."
Nanny Ji's mouth twitched.
They complement each other.
It was clearly a gift from the emperor to serve the prince, so how come managing spices complements the prince?
After all, the princess is not generous enough and can't stand seeing the prince sleeping with other women.
Tsk tsk, she is not as good as the noble lady from a royal family. She doesn’t have the demeanor of a mistress of the house at all.
No, any mistress of a rich family has never said that a man cannot have a concubine. Does the princess think that the prince will only have her as a woman in the future? She is too naive.
Nanny Ji curled her lips and said, "Princess, you are joking. Letting the two girls manage the spices is just a temporary solution. Now that we have a princess, you should arrange for the two girls to serve the prince. This will not disappoint the emperor."
Jiang Si's face darkened slightly, and he asked, "Will I arrange for you to serve the prince?"
Nanny Ji was not afraid at all, and even said in a tone that she was completely concerned about Jiang Si: "Your Highness is a man, and you can be willful in some things, but the Princess cannot be indifferent, otherwise it will damage your reputation..."
Jiang Si sneered.
Before I left the palace, all I heard was fame. Now that I am out of the palace, I still cannot escape these two words.
These two words...can eat people.
Nanny Ji was stunned by Jiang Sixiao's smile.
What did she say wrong that the princess sneered at her?
"Thank you for your consideration, Ma'am. But I have something to ask you."
"Princess, please speak."
"What was the emperor's original intention in awarding the two palace maids to the prince?"
"Of course, it's because he's worried that the prince doesn't understand the relationship between husband and wife, and he feels sorry for the prince, so he asked two palace maids to teach the prince. Princess, you should know that this is the emperor's love for the prince."
"I understand the good intentions of my father, so there is no need for you to remind me. But maybe you forgot that the prince and I became husband and wife smoothly last night..."
Nanny Ji's expression twisted.
Forgot? Just kidding, she would never forget it even if you beat her to death. She needs water five times a night!
I have never seen such a shameless newlywed couple!
"It seems that Mammy really forgot."
Nanny Ji squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "I haven't forgotten."
Jiang Siding looked at Nanny Ji, smiling and saying, "It's good that you didn't forget. Since the prince and I have successfully become husband and wife, it means that the prince doesn't need to teach the palace maids. It's just right to arrange other tasks for them. Otherwise, wouldn't the palace be full of idle people? Nanny, you can't waste money and live off your savings!"
Nanny Ji opened her mouth.
Hmm, what the princess said seems to make sense.
No, why was she confused by the princess!
"Princess, these are two different things."
Jiang Si's tone became even colder: "This is one thing. If you don't believe me, go ask the prince to see if he agrees with me."
Nanny Ji struggled desperately: "Men are responsible for external affairs and women are responsible for internal affairs. These matters in the palace should be managed by the princess. How can you trouble the prince for such a small matter?"
Jiang Si sneered: "If that's the case, why are you still arguing with me?"
As she spoke, she reached into her sleeve and slammed a dagger onto the table.
The dagger was plain and simple, not at all like a plaything of a noble lady, but more like a killing weapon.
Nanny Ji shuddered.
She was wrong. Daggers were used to kill people. Why would a newly-married princess carry one with her?
Nanny Ji's eyes changed when she looked at Jiang, as if she had become reacquainted with the group of ladies from prominent families.
Jiang Si stroked the dagger with his fingertips, looking calm and composed: "I have a bad temper. If someone else interferes in the matters under my jurisdiction, I will be impulsive."
Once she entered the royal family, she knew that she was waiting for countless bloody storms outside. This palace was a place of shelter for her and A-min, and she would never allow herself to be constrained by others on her own territory.
Nanny Ji was completely dumbfounded.
What happened to the saying that a gentleman uses words instead of fists?
How could a princess threaten others with a dagger? If the news got out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Prince of Yan's Mansion?
No, for the sake of the palace's reputation, I have to persuade the princess to mend her ways even at the risk of my own life!
Nanny Ji straightened her back and said righteously, "Princess, if you act like this, you will be laughed at if the news gets out, and then the people in the palace will be the ones who will be embarrassed!"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Spread it out? Madam, you are such a joke. There are only a few of us in the room right now. If it gets out, those who are too talkative will have their tongues cut off."
Ah Man and Ah Qiao acted as if nothing had happened, while the faces of the other people in the room turned pale instantly.
Are you joking, Princess?
Jiang Si picked up the dagger and stroked it, saying expressionlessly, "I never like to joke. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Nanny Ji fell silent all of a sudden.
Jiang Si played with the dagger and looked at the two palace maids: "If you two ladies are dissatisfied with your current job, you can tell me."
The two palace maids shuddered at the same time and said in unison: "Satisfied, we couldn't be more satisfied with our current job..."
Jiang Si threw the dagger away.
The servants in the room covered their mouths to stifle their screams, and saw the dagger fall steadily into Ah Man's hands.
Ah Man spun the dagger with one hand, and the dagger spun rapidly and turned into a white light, which was frightening.
"Ah Man, send Madam and the two girls out."
"Yes." Ah Man responded crisply, and raised his eyelids to Nanny Ji and the other two, "Please come in."
