She turned into a noble lady in the book, she wanted to lie down

Chapter 268 268. Do you also want to show your loyalty?

After the wedding date was set, Prince Zhan's Mansion and the Eldest Princess' Mansion began to prepare for the wedding.

Liu Xinning was the most idle person except for things like measuring wedding clothes that required her presence.

However, she was not completely free.Because she also has to arrange the dowry selection in her yard.

Qingchu is the oldest, turning twenty this year.

According to convention, she should have been married to Liu Xinning before she got married, and then she would be married off to be the mother in charge.

However, Qingchu always wanted to redeem herself.He even worked hard for Liu Xinning for this goal.

Therefore, Liu Xinning released her bond in advance and gave her a reward to complete the relationship between master and servant in the past few years.

Qingchu thanked Liu Xinning with tears in her eyes and left the eldest princess' mansion.

Qiu Si, Long Yue, Dan Yan and other three people were determined to follow Liu Xinning.

Liu Xinning asked them what they thought. None of them currently wanted to marry anyone.

In addition, they were all under twenty, so they were directly married off as maids.So, don’t worry too much.

Liu Xinning selected one of the remaining eight second-class pistils to take over Qingchu's job.

Other people also asked their opinions.

If you are willing to marry someone as a companion, then let him marry you;

If you don’t want to marry someone from the palace and just want to be married as a maid, then you can be a dowry maid;

If you want to redeem yourself but are not old enough, then follow the rules of the house and go work somewhere else first, and then redeem yourself after meeting the requirements.

Suddenly, personnel changes in Shuyiyuan became frequent.

The people Liu Xinning had the most contact with were Chun Nuan, the aunt in charge, and the four maids.

Therefore, Liu Xinning arranged for Chun Nuan, the aunt in charge, to make arrangements for everyone else.

Her thoughts were on Chun Nuan's lifelong event.

This year’s spring is warm, it’s already 29.

The six-month period agreed last year is almost here.

Therefore, on the eighth day of March, Liu Xinning called her over in advance and asked her what she meant.

This time, Chun Nuan hesitated.She didn't refuse directly like she did half a year ago, but she didn't agree directly either.

"What do you think? Is this difficult?" Liu Xinning asked strangely.

It’s been almost half a year, haven’t you thought about it yet?
"My maid doesn't know. Princess, I'm sorry. My maid is too hesitant."

Chun Nuan thought that if she hadn't been in the hands of the kind princess, she would have been sent far away.

How lucky is she that she has gained so much trust and attention just by doing the most basic thing of protecting the Lord with her own body?

You know, a slave protecting his master is the most basic requirement.

"It's normal to hesitate about a major marriage matter. Think about it again. However, it seems that you haven't seen Ling Yi come over during this period?"

Liu Xinning frowned and thought for a moment.

The last time she saw Ling Yi, it seemed?perhaps?Maybe ten days ago?
It shouldn't be.

It stands to reason that the sooner it is time to get results, then Ling Yi should run harder.

"Ling Yi helped the prince go out of the city to do some business."

Seeing that she didn't have to make a decision immediately, Chun Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied flatteringly.

"You know his whereabouts," Liu Xinning teased.

Chun Nuan smiled coquettishly.

Didn't Ling Yi tell her to take advantage of this period of time when he didn't bother her and let her think about it?

"Okay. In that case, you should think about it carefully. No matter what the result is, I will do what you want."

"Yes. Thank you, Princess."

Chun Nuan finished speaking quickly and went out to do some business.In the evening, when Xiao Muze got off duty and reported to the eldest princess' mansion as usual, Liu Xinning asked about Ling Yi's return date.

"This...I'm not sure either." Unexpectedly, Xiao Muze hesitated.

"He is your person and helps you, but you still don't know when he will return?" Liu Xinning became curious.

Xiao Muze looked inside the room.

Liu Xinning waved away all the servants with a serious look on her face.

"Actually, Ling Yi is not doing anything for me. He is going to protect the crown prince." Xiao Muze said softly.

"Guarding the Crown Prince? There are so many people in the East Palace, why are you using yours to protect him?"

Liu Xinning was really surprised.

Since the crown prince was appointed, Emperor Qingping also acquiesced in the prince's training of his own people.

Therefore, the number of guards in the East Palace is quite large.

What's more, there are many officials in the prince's line.When the prince travels, why don't they follow him to show their loyalty?
Is it...

"You also want to show your loyalty? Shouldn't you?" Liu Xinning stared at Xiao Muze suspiciously and asked.

Xiao Muze took the route of only being loyal to the emperor.

Although the prince is the crown prince, he is not the king after all.

"Of course not. I did it because of Qiyu's request. In the eyes of outsiders, they are all Qiyu's people."

Xiao Muze hurriedly argued.

Although, the prince knew that Xiao Qiyu borrowed manpower from him.

However, outsiders only thought that the manpower was lent by Xiao Qiyu and had nothing to do with Xiao Muze.

"Oh. That's right." Liu Xinning nodded, indicating that she understood.

Last summer, the long river that runs through three and sixteen counties in the south suffered major floods due to consecutive days of heavy rain.

Not only did it flood the land and villages around Changhe, but many counties and counties were also severely affected by the heavy rains for days.

Therefore, in order to provide disaster relief, the imperial court not only used the money and grain in the treasury, but also took the initiative of the eldest princess to raise a lot of materials in the capital and nearby counties for disaster relief.

Such large sums of money and food are naturally attractive.

Therefore, many officials in the DPRK are engaged in various activities to do this.

In the end, an old minister from the household department of the Fifth Prince faction took over the job.

After the old servant took over the job, he was busy for half a year.Finally, the disaster relief work was completed smoothly.

However, not long after the New Year, the magistrate of Chishui County quietly came to Beijing to beat the drum and complained that the disaster relief money and grain had been embezzled.

As soon as this happened, Emperor Qingping was furious, and the court was naturally shaken.

Finally, after several discussions, it was decided that the prince, the prince, would personally investigate and deal with the matter.

When the prince travels, he attaches great importance to safety and other issues.Therefore, the guards from the East Palace came out in full force.

But because this disaster relief matter involves all aspects, I am even more afraid of what those worried people will do.

Especially, the fifth prince.

It has been more than a year since the crown prince was appointed, but the fifth prince has no intention of giving up.

In front of Emperor Qingping, he showed great respect for the prince, his elder brother.However, in private, there are frequent tit-for-tat confrontations in political affairs.

This time when he went to deal with disaster relief matters, the prince was even more worried and worried about his own safety.

One is that officials from the Fifth Prince's line were responsible for the disaster relief.If they knew they were found out, they would definitely fight back.

Secondly, the fifth prince has always been at odds with the prince, will he take this opportunity to make a desperate move?

Finally, the worried prince turned to his brother Xiao Qiyu for help after having the guards from the East Palace and the help secretly dispatched by other officials.
