Chapter 1009: Digging Grass
Fu Zhaoning entered the palace.
Xiaoyue followed with the box in her arms.
The butler and a few servants were passing by hurriedly in front. When he saw Fu Zhaoning, he quickly stopped.
"Princess, are you back?"
"Hmm." Fu Zhaoning looked at the tools in the servants' hands and was a little confused. "What are they going to do?"
Because these people were holding shovels and other things.
The housekeeper explained, "Mrs. Cheng said that there are some weeds in the yard that need to be cleared. Replacing them with some chrysanthemums will make the yard look more elegant."
"From Jianjiayuan?"
"Yes." The butler suddenly realized something and felt a little embarrassed. "Princess, are those herbs medicinal? We don't know them either. Don't be afraid to dig up your herbs."
"Doesn't Xiao Lanyuan know?"
"After the prince came back, he received the urgent letter and went to the study to deal with it. We did not report this matter to the prince."
The housekeeper looked at Fu Zhaoning's expression and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Princess, are those really medicinal herbs? Then I'll go tell Madam Cheng that I won't dig any more."
Everyone thought that Fu Zhaoning would rather mind her own business, and the housekeeper also thought that she would say go ahead and dig it, it’s okay.
Because those grasses are indeed not medicinal herbs.
Although he didn't know anything about medicine, he knew some grass, namely some pink star grass, which would turn pink in autumn.
But it won't last long and will soon turn dry and white, which is not necessarily nothing special.
But unexpectedly, Fu Zhaoning said directly, "Then housekeeper Zhong should tell Madam Cheng that she will only stay for two days, and it will be troublesome to break ground, so let her make do with it."
After saying that, she took Xiaoyue to the backyard.
Several servants looked at the butler.
"Butler, what should we do now? We have already agreed to dig for Madam Cheng."
The butler pondered for a moment, but before he could speak, a voice interrupted him.
"Do you still need to think about this? You can't even tell who the mistress of this palace is?"
Zhong Jian walked over and looked at Butler Zhong with a little displeasure.
When Butler Zhong saw his look, he clapped his hands and said unhappily, "How do you talk to your father? I was originally going to say that we shouldn't dig it up!"
He also knows what's going on, okay?
How could they still dig after the princess had said so? Of course they listened to the princess.
"Mrs. Cheng has only come to the palace three times in total. Every time she came to the palace before, everything was quiet and nothing happened. Why are there so many things to do this time?" Zhong Jian was very dissatisfied.
In the past, he did have a good impression of Madam Cheng. The most important thing was that she was an elder who had watched the prince grow up and had stayed by his bedside to take care of him when he was sick as a child.
But when it comes to the princess, that won’t do.
"Okay, go and do your own thing. I'll go talk to Madam Cheng." Butler Zhong sighed, waved his hand and asked the servants to take the tools back and put them away, then hurried to the Jianjia Courtyard.
When they arrived at Jianjia Courtyard, Luguo came out to greet them before they could even open their mouths.
"Butler Zhong, didn't you say you would bring someone over?"
She looked behind Butler Zhong and saw no one there. Only the butler came over.
"It's like this," the housekeeper sighed inwardly, "I went back and thought about it, and I felt that it would be a bad idea to start digging while Madam Cheng was staying here for two days. With all the digging and planting, and everyone coming in and out, the place would be messy, and it would affect Madam's rest."
The housekeeper continued, "It's not warm enough today, and I'm afraid the chrysanthemums won't survive if we plant them. It would be unsightly here, so let's not dig them for now."
When Lu Guo heard this, his expression dimmed.
"Butler, my wife doesn't like weeds growing where she lives. It makes it feel desolate."
"Actually, Miss Green Fruit can ask Madam to take a look at another place. The flowers there are about to bloom." The housekeeper pointed to the other side of the yard.
"After looking over there, you won't look over here?"
Green fruit gas stagnation.
The patch of grass they were talking about was on the left side of the garden and had been growing there before. After Fu Zhaoning moved in, she only tidied up the yard roughly. At that time, she saw a patch of pink star grass in this corner and asked Hong Zhuo and the others to keep it.
I picked up some pebbles on the edge and built a circle around it. Once it turned pink, it looked quite wild.
Fu Zhaoning once said that it looked quite artistic.
Mrs. Cheng saw the grass as soon as she entered the yard and asked, "Why don't you get rid of the weeds in the yard?"
At that time, Fenxing responded by saying that the grass would change color in autumn, and the princess praised it for its wild charm.
Then Mrs. Cheng said, it’s not autumn yet. It’s not worth it to endure the desolation for a whole year just for a few days of beauty. So she should just dig it up.
Fan Xing didn't know what to say for a moment.
They all knew the position of Madam Cheng in the prince's heart, and since it was just a matter of a small piece of grass, they dared not disobey.
"Miss Green Fruit, how about I have someone bring a few pots of flowers over to block the pink star grass?"
The housekeeper thought of a solution.
"Wouldn't that take up space? It would make the yard look smaller." Lu Guo pursed her lips.
"No, there's not much space left."
"No, our Madam wanted to dig up these weeds and plant some beautiful flowers. Isn't that also for the good of the palace? More flowers are better than weeds, right? Butler, you can't even do such a small thing. Do you think we don't need to listen to our Madam at all?"
"No, of course not."
The housekeeper didn't expect that a little maid like Luguo would be so difficult to deal with.
"How about I explain it to my wife?"
"I have been serving the Madam for many years. I naturally understand what the Madam means. Can I still convey the Madam's words without authorization?" Lu Guo immediately said aggressively.
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell Madam, otherwise we can wait until Madam comes to stay for a long time next time to decorate this place properly. Isn't Madam only staying for two days this time?"
The housekeeper was already feeling a little impatient.
To be honest, it’s just a small matter. Why bother about it?
"Didn't the prince say that no matter how long we stay, we must make sure our wife is comfortable and at ease."
Lu Guo sighed softly, "The prince also said that Madam should treat the palace as her own home and tell her if she needs anything, right?"
"Yes——" the butler could only respond.
"So now we are just asking everyone to dig out some weeds. Is that a big deal?" Lu Guo asked again.
"this--"
The butler didn't know what to say for a moment, but Baihu walked over.
"This was originally the yard where our young lady lived. She asked us to keep the grass here. Since Madam Cheng is only staying here for two days, there is no need to change someone else's place."
"Who are you?" Lu Guo glanced over.
You can tell at first glance that he is just a guard. Do you have the right to speak here?
"My name is White Tiger."
"She's with Xiaoyue. She was sent by the princess's mother's family, right?" Luguo understood immediately.
