Yun Duoduo was puzzled. Looking at the group of men who had suddenly appeared outside, her mind wandered. [Could these be men her father had recruited to the palace to guard the house and serve her?]
This seems a bit inappropriate...
She could almost imagine that tomorrow the talk of the town would be about the little princess of Nanyang conscripting men, her extravagance and debauchery, and how she was such a spoiled child. What would she be like when she grew up?
Yun Duoduo shuddered at the thought.
Although many princesses in history had all sorts of quirks, she was only two years old, so why were so many people arranged to come to the palace?
Yun Duoduo felt a little uncomfortable. She wasn't someone with such strong tastes, and she knew the importance of public opinion.
In the past, she was accused of being a witch who brought disaster to the country, but she has already been burdened with too much blame.
Moreover, the maids and nannies at Fu Shuang Palace are serving her very well, and she is very comfortable.
If there are more and more people in the bedchamber, she will only feel annoyed and bothered by the noise.
Or perhaps these people were high-level martial arts masters from the martial arts world, specially brought to the palace to teach her martial arts?
Yun Duoduo was a little confused.
She jumped out of bed, gathered her hair, and prepared to go out and see what was going on.
"Duo'er? Who are these people?" Sun Huohuo looked outside curiously, munching on the apple in his hand.
"I don't know." Yun Duoduo shook her head, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.
"Duo'er, have you offended someone?"
"Erhuo, what's going on in your head? Did your eldest brother read you some old stories again?"
"He just keeps thinking about random things."
"How could I, Yun Duoduo, be so cute and beautiful, loved by everyone? How could I possibly have enemies?" Yun Duoduo glared at Sun Huohuo with dissatisfaction.
"Go out and take a look!" Yun Duoduo went out to see what was happening. Sun Huohuo jumped off the stool and followed behind Yun Duoduo, while Jin Zhuangzhuang climbed off the bed and followed behind Sun Huohuo.
The three little ones were walking out one after the other when Ah Xiang and Granny Liu were already standing in front of the group of people.
"What are you doing?!" Ah Xiang shouted. Yun Duoduo was very surprised. Her aunt Ah Xiang, who was usually very gentle with her, actually had such a stern side. She was really protective of her own!
Oops, wait a minute, now that I've said that, I've ended up insulting myself too.
"This is the princess's residence. Who allowed you to enter? Have you no manners?!" Ah Xiang asked sternly. At Liu Mama's call, the other nannies from Fu Shuang Palace also came out from various places, put down what they were doing, and blocked the group of men.
Looking at what was in front of her, Yun Duoduo saw a group of dark-skinned, well-built men on her left and a group of slender palace maids and older, plump nannies on her right.
Is this a sign that they're about to grab weapons and start fighting?
Seeing this, Sun Huohuo's sweet apple suddenly lost its appeal. He quietly hid behind Yun Duoduo and Jin Zhuangzhuang, and picked up a branch at his feet for self-defense.
Ugh, what a coward!
Yun Duoduo caught a glimpse of Sun Huohuo's actions out of the corner of her eye and shook her head helplessly.
[If you're a coward, go back inside and hide. Why are you staying here to watch the show?!]
"Aunties and nannies, please don't misunderstand. We were sent by Eunuch Zhao to repair the princess's palace." A muscular, dark-skinned young man in his early twenties said with a smile, bending over.
He had a scar near his eye, and he waved his hands to indicate that they meant no harm. Yun Duoduo saw that his hands had thick calluses and many scars.
The man didn't get angry at the angry stares from Aunt Xiang, Granny Liu, and the others; he seemed to have a very good temper.
"Eunuch Zhao?" Ah Xiang and Granny Liu exchanged a glance.
Looking at those people, Yun Duoduo noticed the tools they were holding, including ladders, axes, chisels, and knives.
Moreover, they all had dark skin, probably from working outdoors every day and being exposed to the sun.
[Ah, so you're a carpenter?!]
"Wow, this is incredible!" Zhao Zhongquan strode forward. He had been walking slowly behind, observing the architectural structure of Fushuang Palace as he went.
Hearing the arguing ahead, he realized that he hadn't explained the situation to the steward of Fu Shuang Palace beforehand. The sudden intrusion of a group of grown men was indeed quite frightening.
"It's our fault. We should have informed the aunts and grandmothers beforehand," Zhao Zhongquan said in a high-pitched voice, raising his pinky finger.
"These are people His Majesty sent to repair the little princess's bedchamber," Zhao Zhongquan said, turning to introduce the group of men standing to the side.
"Last time, a poisonous snake appeared in the little princess's palace. Oh dear, it really worried our Emperor." Zhao Zhongquan patted his heart with a frightened expression.
"Well, I heard there's a group of very skilled carpenters in the south, who are the best at... what's their name?" Zhao Zhongquan frowned, unable to recall their names.
Seeing that he was racking his brains but couldn't figure it out, the muscular man who had spoken earlier reminded him, "The house has a security mechanism."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"It's the mechanism layout of this palace!" Zhao Zhongquan slapped his forehead, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face.
"When His Majesty heard this, he was delighted and immediately ordered this old servant to invite the craftsmen from the south. They were to hurry to the palace to repair the little princess's bedchamber."
At this point, Ah Xiang and the other nannies looked somewhat embarrassed, regretting that they hadn't asked about the situation before shouting at the group, which was truly unbecoming of the Fu Shuang Palace.
[I was a bit too fierce just now.]
[Sigh, we should have asked clearly. Otherwise, it makes us, the Fu Shuang Palace, seem unable to distinguish right from wrong.]
"This old servant is also thinking that we need to use some wisdom to guard against assassins. Jinzhi and Deyi are not here. Right now, only Xiao Jinyu and some imperial guards are guarding the palace."
"If we installed some mechanisms in this palace, it would be quite useful! Don't you think so, nannies?" Zhao Zhongquan chuckled, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Upon hearing that this group of people had come to design and install mechanisms for Fushuang Palace, the aunts and nannies inside the palace immediately beamed with joy.
"Oh dear, so that's what happened. I'm so sorry, we were a bit hot-tempered just now," Granny Liu said with a smile, rubbing her hands together, somewhat embarrassed.
"It's not the old woman's fault, it was us brothers who were too abrupt."
"How should we address you?"
