Chapter 672 Princess Ruyi Finds Trouble
"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Tangyuan reached out and stopped the fat aunt who almost lost control.

After catching her breath, Aunt Pang said, "It was that princess who came. After arriving here, she started finding fault with everything we did. She couldn't stand us and was always picking on us. She kept saying this was no good and that was no good. She even punished Liufang here..."

During the time Ayu was away from Hujia Village, the astrology department was managed by them, just like always.

Originally, they were a very inconspicuous little department, and in theory, they shouldn't have been noticed.

But Princess Ruyi, who was living peacefully in the palace, suddenly appeared here for some reason, still acting all high and mighty.

She kept referring to herself as "Princess" in her words, as if afraid that others wouldn't know she was the only princess of Dachang.

“What you’re saying is so cryptic that even the Commander-in-Chief wouldn’t understand. So, have Xie Guixin come over and explain,” Tangyuan added.

Now, Tangyuan's self-cultivation has reached a new level. He knows that people in positions of authority generally do not speak to those of lower status than themselves. It's not because Ayu looks down on these people, but because this is the rule, so that those below will not be unaware of their place.

Ayu initially felt it was unnecessary. She preferred face-to-face communication. Wasn't her status unequal with that of the Emperor and Empress Dowager? Yet they spoke directly to each other without sending a middleman.

But Tangyuan insisted, so Ayu had no choice but to let her have her way.

So much so that Ayu barely needed to say anything; the glutinous rice balls became her mouth.

Aunt Pang didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and immediately her face fell. She looked at Ayu first, and then at Tangyuan: "It's not that I didn't want to call him over, it's because Princess Ruyi saw Xie Guixin and insisted that he was handsome and wanted to take him back to keep as a male concubine!"

"Huh?" Now it was Ayu's turn to be confused. "Isn't Princess Ruyi still very young? Why is she already keeping male concubines? And Xie Guixin is already of marriageable age. The age difference between the two is too great."

"But she's a princess, and we're nothing. Who dares to disobey a princess? Now Xie Guixin is saying she's been humiliated and looks like she has no will to live, and the princess says Xie Guixin has talked back to her and is planning to have her drowned!" Ayu: "..."

What kind of bizarre things are these?
"Take me over there and have a look."

Having earned the title of Commander-in-Chief, it's impossible for anyone to bully one of our own people while we pretend not to know.

Even if the other party is a princess, that won't work. Princesses don't have three heads and six arms!

On the way there, Ayu was still asking Tangyuan, "I just heard Aunt Pang talking about our Liufang. Isn't Sister Liufang on duty somewhere else? When did she become ours?"

Tangyuan had already found out the day before: "Sister Liufang said that she received your favor and specially asked the steward of the Imperial Household Department to transfer her to our Astrology Department. In addition, she also brought several close sisters with her. Now there are four or five palace maids working in the Astrology Department."

Perhaps before long, there will be a few more eunuchs, which will make things more convenient for everyone, as they won't have to do everything themselves.

The plump aunt, who was walking ahead, overheard the conversation and said, "Commander, Princess Ruyi said some unpleasant things back then, and Liu Fang couldn't help but argue back. Princess Ruyi had him forced to slap her, and now her whole face is probably swollen from the slaps!"

Ayu got angry when she heard this: "What do you mean you can hit people whenever you want?"

Just then, several crisp "smack" sounds were heard, along with a girl's arrogant tone: "Haven't you all eaten? Hit me harder!"

Ayu paused, then called out, "Stop!"
