"You'd better give me a good reason."
Now you're mine, and if I throw a pair of shoes at you, you'll have to wear them whether you want to or not.
In the early morning, Qin Zhaoyue, awakened, stared blankly at Mo Yi with dead fish eyes.
Mo Yi felt aggrieved; whoever wanted to be the team leader could have that job!
"Your Highness," he said in the softest of voices, "we have guests from outside the manor."
"who."
"People from the Wen family."
"who?"
"On His Highness's father's side..."
The next moment, Qin Zhaoyue collapsed back into the ground.
"Who is this important person? I won't see them!"
The Wen family, huh, she didn't even like the original owner's father, let alone relatives who were not even remotely related to her father's family.
It's likely that Old Wen was restless and sent a message outside the palace.
As a result, after I did nothing for a long time, they came to my door on their own.
Rushing things won't make a sale. Regardless of what the other party is after, let things cool down first.
Mo Yi immediately understood that His Highness's relationship with his father's family was not close.
He silently withdrew and gently closed the door.
I hadn't walked ten steps when I saw Suimo waiting there.
"How is it? Has His Highness woken up?"
Mo Yi glanced at her lightly, then walked past her and said, "Go ask her if you want to know."
Good heavens! He's only been out of the palace for a few days, and his temper has already flared up; he's practically turned the world upside down!
"Don't rush, let Mo Er go next time, okay?"
"Alright."
Mo Er, standing in the shadow of the eaves pillar: ...
Can't you see her? Are you trying to provoke her right in front of you?
The Azure Phoenix Guard is responsible for close protection and has no intelligence function. However, the entire unit is fully aware of the relationship between the Sixth Prince and his father's family.
They asked the head maids of the manor, Tao Yao and Ying Nuo, but they were also vague and couldn't give a clear answer.
Just in case, we'll take the risk and wake His Highness.
Indeed, the entire Princess's residence has reached a consensus:
Waking His Highness from his sleep always carries the risk of being disliked.
For example, people who sell broken ink are now too afraid to do that kind of work.
Old Fang sat huddled in the gatehouse, looking exhausted.
In the past, being a doorman at the Sixth Princess's residence was a very good job, and hardly anyone would come to visit.
They rarely receive many invitations, and imperial decrees are even rarer, perhaps only once every year or two.
Old Fang and his nephew took up the two rotation slots.
In reality, he was the only one keeping watch most of the time, and he ate and slept in the gatehouse.
Anyway, he's a vigilant sleeper, so he just needs to be aware of His Highness occasionally returning home late at night and open the door promptly.
He receives two monthly salaries, and his nephew usually takes on other jobs.
But after His Highness returned to the capital this time, the mansion suddenly became lively.
Eunuch Su Quan from the palace, along with officials and nannies, came to visit, and invitations kept pouring in.
Old Fang couldn't handle everything by himself, so he had to call his nephew back to act as the gatekeeper.
The staff were responsible for registering guests, checking their information against the "Guest Register," and categorizing their invitations.
He happened to be out of the gatehouse when the two princesses came to visit yesterday.
Afterwards, he was severely reprimanded by Miss Mo, who had just entered the mansion.
Hearing that they were from the Azure Phoenix Guard, warriors who closely protected His Majesty, Old Fang dared not put on any airs of an elder in the manor.
The result was that the number of people increased from two to four, with two shifts, and the gatekeeper's room was no longer his private retirement home.
The meaning is clear: if you can do it, do it; if you can't, get out.
Seeing that the Sixth Princess was showing signs of gaining power, Old Fang wasn't stupid, so naturally he wouldn't leave.
Even a lowly official is only a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister. In the past, his own prince had nothing to do with power, and Lao Fang was prepared to retire peacefully.
But now it's completely different; he wants to try a different way of life.
So what if you're fifty? You're in your prime!
Only a fool would leave if he could still rely on the dignity of the old man in the mansion to keep control of the gatehouse.
So his nephew was brought back, but instead of being placed in the same class, he was assigned to one of the two classes.
I just took over my shift this morning when I saw the Wen family's carriage.
Old Fang had seen the "Door Register" recorded by his nephew yesterday, and it turned out that the Wen family hadn't sent any invitations at all.
So instead of letting anyone in, they sent their assistant to report the incident.
The boy returned, and after waiting for the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, still no one came to deliver a message, and he immediately made a judgment in his mind.
The Wen family's servants have come to inquire for the third time.
"Old man, why hasn't the door been opened yet?"
Old Fang was all tidy and refreshed, and with hope for the future, he was full of energy.
In addition, the princess was never stingy with her servants, so he also had a few fine clothes that he kept hidden away.
The old man understood the principle of respecting the clothes before respecting the person, and he didn't lose face for the princess's residence.
Upon hearing this, he straightened his back as much as possible, lowered his eyes slightly, and wore a reserved smile on his face:
"The arrival of our distinguished guest is quite sudden; perhaps His Highness was unprepared."
I wonder if my old subordinate was being lazy and forgot to include your visiting card?
As he spoke, he picked up the "Door Register" in front of the Wen family servants, staring at it slowly as if his eyesight was failing.
The servant thought to himself, "What kind of visiting card is this? In the past, when his master came to visit, he just walked in."
Now that the Sixth Princess has obtained two official positions from the imperial court, she's started putting on airs.
He sneered inwardly, but put on a fawning smile and took half a step forward as if to help the other person up.
In reality, he secretly reached out and used a clever trick, causing the silver coin to flick from his fingertips into Lao Fang's sleeve.
Old Fang's body suddenly stiffened; he was simply too old to react quickly.
The young man opposite was clearly a pro; his movements were fluid and effortless. The moment he took the man's hand, the silver was already in his sleeve.
Realizing what had happened, Lao Fang almost burst into tears.
He's been working as this doorman for so many years, and now he's finally reaping the benefits!
"It happened so suddenly that the master of the manor didn't have time to attend to it."
"After all, they are relatives, and I think it won't be a big deal, so I'd like to ask my father-in-law to be lenient."
Old Fang calmly closed the "Door Register," inwardly scoffing.
Things happen suddenly and you don't have time to think about them, but that just shows a lack of manners.
"In that case, shall I send someone to ask His Highness's head maid?"
"Thank you so much..."
