Chapter 188 Chu He was being watched, and the emperor heard it directly
Dong Ling suddenly became anxious!
"Madam, you can't come to my place to rest. I'm pregnant!"
Ji Chuhe ignored Dong Ling and took a deep breath.
She has to be the bad guy.
"The prince is such a fool. We can't really fight. It's probably hard to make peace." Dong Ling muttered softly. She could no longer imagine how the two of them would make peace. By then, would the prince really be able to let go of his pride?
"I'll go take a look." Ji Chuhe walked out.
"Madam, I'm going too!" Dong Ling hurriedly followed.
"You stay." Ji Chuhe ordered in a deep voice.
Dong Ling couldn't watch the fun and was a little disappointed, but she still obediently saw Ji Chuhe off.
In Mo Garden, Xu Yan'er's voice had become hoarse from crying. She didn't shed many tears, most of them were just dry howls.
Xiao Yan'an stood in the yard and looked at her without saying a word.
"Prince, the lady is here." Tianxi reminded in a low voice.
Xiao Yan'an's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked towards the door.
Ji Chuhe walked in slowly.
"Greetings, madam." All the servants of Mo Garden came forward and saluted.
Xu Yan'er was making a scene for Xiao Yan'an to see. She couldn't afford to lose face in front of Ji Chuhe, so she stopped crying immediately.
"Prince, what happened?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Madam Xu was unruly, so I punished her a little." Xiao Yan'an responded in a deep voice.
"Madam, it's really just a small punishment. I didn't dare to use any force. I just slapped you like that." Tianxi was in charge of the execution, his voice was weak and helpless.
Ji Chuhe looked at Xu Yan'er who was still unwilling to give up and walked up to her.
"My Lord, Aunt Xu's unruly behavior is the harem's business. I should have dealt with it. You don't need to worry about it. If other concubines were like Aunt Xu, they would have been sent to the farm to fend for themselves, or sold off to put an end to it all!"
A flash of fear flashed across Xu Yan'er's eyes, and she quickly looked at Xiao Yan'an.
"It's all up to you, Madam." Xiao Yan'an responded.
Xu Yan'er suddenly felt hopeless!
Only now did she realize she was afraid.
The prince really doesn't care about her at all.
"Aunt Xu, which farm do you like? I'll give you a chance to choose one for yourself." Ji Chuhe asked in a calm voice.
Xu Yan'er pursed her lips and did not answer.
"Okay, since Aunt Xu doesn't want to choose for herself, then I will help her choose one! Come on, send Aunt Xu to Shanji Manor!"
"Yes!" Immediately two servants came forward to drag Xu Yan'er.
Xu Yan'er quickly ran towards Xiao Yan'an and hugged his legs tightly.
"Prince, I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to break the rules again. I will definitely respect my wife. Please don't send me to the manor." Xu Yan'er's voice trembled.
Ji Chuhe has never been a pushover, he is decisive and always does what he says!
"Madam has the final say on matters concerning the rear house," Xiao Yan'an responded in a deep voice.
"Madam, I was wrong! I know I was wrong, and I will definitely abide by the rules!" Xu Yan'er quickly gave in. But she still held Xiao Yan'an tightly.
Ji Chuhe did not express his opinion immediately, and looked at Xu Yan'er in silence.
Time seemed to have stood still. Every moment, every second was an endless torment for Xu Yan'er.
"Forget it. The prince will surely be reluctant to do so. I will not bother with you this time for the prince's sake, but if it happens again, I will just sell you!" Ji Chuhe spoke sharply.
Xu Yan'er felt as if she had been pardoned.
"Someone, send Aunt Xu back to Pixiayuan!" Ji Chuhe ordered again.
Xu Yan'er was taken away.
Xiao Yan'an was about to speak when Ji Chuhe's voice sounded before him.
"My Lord, I believe that Aunt Xu will come to her senses after this incident. After all, she is an aunt who has served you. As long as she has not committed an unforgivable mistake, I will not really treat her harshly."
Xiao Yan'an sighed, no longer holding out any hope that Xu Yan'er would wake up.
"I hope so." He replied weakly.
"Prince, please go ahead and do your work. I'll take my leave now." Ji Chuhe had other plans to make next.
Xiao Yan'an looked at Ji Chuhe's departing back and felt guilty.
How could he be worthy of such a good Ji Chuhe.
……
Ji Chuhe returned to Liuhua Palace and called Ping'er to her side.
Ping'er waited anxiously for her fate.
She knew that she was not lucky enough to stay and serve the lady.
"Ping'er, are you willing to follow me in the future?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
Ping'er was surprised and flattered, and responded, "I am willing!"
"Then from today on, I will promote you to the position of head."
"Thank you, ma'am!" Ping'er thanked excitedly.
"However, your job is still to serve Aunt Xu in the Pixia Palace. I know that you are a clear-headed and loyal person, and you would not choose to leave Aunt Xu unless you are forced to do so. This time when you go back, you should not be as submissive as before, because you still have the responsibility to supervise Aunt Xu."
"Madam, Ping'er understands! I will definitely not let you down!" Ping'er nodded immediately.
"You will take two servants and a second-class maid back to Pixia Palace later. These servants will obey your command."
"Yes!" Ping'er responded and immediately kowtowed to Ji Chuhe.
Ji Chuhe winked at Mianzhu, who immediately took out his purse and pulled out two taels of silver.
"Ping'er, this is a reward from the Madam."
"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am." Ping'er didn't know how to express her feelings and could only kowtow continuously.
"Go." Ji Chuhe waved his hand.
Ping'er immediately retreated.
Xu Yan'er was still feeling uneasy after returning to the Pixia Palace.
Ji Chuhe only said that he would not send her to the manor, and did not say anything about arranging servants for her. Does this mean that she will not have servants to serve her in the mansion in the future?
Just as I was thinking about it, Ping'er came back with some people.
When Xu Yan'er saw Ping'er, it was like seeing a relative.
"Aunt, Madam sent me back to serve you." Ping'er's tone was different from before. She used to be always timid, afraid that a wrong word would offend Xu Yan'er.
"Ping'er, you wanted to climb up the social ladder but failed, right?" Xu Yan'er regretted it as soon as she said it!
But sometimes, she just can't control her mouth.
"Madam has promoted me to be the head of the department. Auntie, you must follow the rules and be careful with your words and actions in the future."
Xu Yan'er choked and didn't dare to speak again.
I cursed Ji Chuhe thousands of times in my heart.
……
Under the azure blue sky, a carrier pigeon flew over the towering city walls, toward the magnificent palace with its many layers of buildings, and finally, landed in the hands of an old eunuch.
The old eunuch quickly put away the contents brought by the carrier pigeon and hurried into the hall.
There were shelves covering the entire walls on both sides of the spacious palace, on which were placed bundles of bamboo slips and some valuable treasures.
The path in the middle leads directly to the emperor's dragon table.
This palace is the emperor's study.
The emperor of the time was leaning on a soft couch in casual clothes, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand. There was a pile of other things on the table beside him. On one of the bamboo slips, four large characters "Six Strategies for Military Service" were engraved.
The bamboo slips blocked his face, so his features could not be seen.
The eunuch came over quickly, "Your Majesty, the news from Huaiyang."
"read."
"There is nothing unusual between the Prince of Huaiyang and the Princess. The Crown Prince Xiao has not yet consummated his marriage with his wife. The implementation of the Six Military Service Strategies has gone smoothly and the situation has stabilized. The Prince of Huaiyang's concubine has been divorced, and the Second Young Master has left the palace to study."
"This second young master is called Xiao Jincheng, right?"
"Your Majesty, that is exactly the name."
"Send someone to bring him to me. His father, the King of Huaiyang, did not give him a bright future. I will give him a bright future!"
