Chapter 1051 Satisfaction, Either Good or Good
"Does the chief steward know who the prince will bring with him on this trip to the country?" Shao Wanru asked with an indifferent expression.
The butler's eyes flashed slightly, and he might have misunderstood: "Princess, don't worry, Princess Ao will not marry the prince when she comes to the capital. It has nothing to do with the prince!"
He thought Shao Wanru was jealous, so he hurriedly explained.
"I know this, but others don't know, and some people want to use this matter to find out the prince's background." Shao Wanru laughed softly.
The chief steward had met many people in the palace and had experienced the previous dynasty. He was not ignorant at all. At this time, he was shocked by Shao Wanru's words.
After thinking about it carefully, he immediately stood up, bowed to Shao Wanru, and said sincerely, "Princess, this old slave has not thought too much."
This gift is sincere.
Before, I was respectful because of the prince, but now I saw this Princess Chen, and I was sincerely doing this because of this Princess Chen.
People like him, who have walked to the end step by step in the palace, have delicate hearts. He immediately heard the important point in Shao Wanru's words, but this point was something he ignored.
"You're welcome, butler, please sit down!" Shao Wanru said with a slight smile.
The chief steward sat down again: "Princess, I thought about the safety of the palace before, and also made people pay close attention to the safety of our palace, and specially sent extra manpower, even around the princess, to make people pay more attention. , I’m just afraid that there is a problem with the princess’s safety, and to be honest with the princess, if the princess wants to go out during this period, I will come here to persuade her.”
At present, Princess Chen, the chief steward feels that she is very reliable. No matter who wants to touch Princess Chen in the mansion, it must be impossible. As for the outside, during this period, before the prince returns to the mansion, the chief steward will try his best not to let the princess. Go out.
If the princess really wants to go out, he will come to persuade her. He will even explain the princess's current situation clearly and let the princess think about it. What she didn't expect is that this little princess is so smart. What he thinks of has already occurred to her. Well, what I didn’t expect was that the princess had already thought clearly about it early on. On the contrary, I, a person who had experienced the storm, didn’t see through it.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and I also respected Shao Wanru more and more.
No wonder Xiao Xuanzi repeatedly told himself that this princess was a master with seven orifices. She originally thought he had said more, but now it seems that he said less than more.
"Thank you to the butler. Before he left, the prince repeatedly told me that I was young and had nothing to do. If I have anything to do, I should ask the butler more. I must not let outsiders take advantage of the loopholes. Big misunderstandings may occur because of some small things. Even alienated." Shao Wanru said, very satisfied with this great steward.
"Princess, is there something trivial in the palace that makes the princess upset?" The chief steward thought for a moment and immediately understood the meaning of Shao Wanru's words. He frowned and asked, feeling more and more that he had been neglectful and only focused on The security issues outside are ignored, but the matters inside the house are ignored.
In the past, there was no master in the inner courtyard. If you handled the affairs in the palace by yourself, you would be protecting the entire palace. As for the prince, you should not worry about it long ago.
The prince is a master who has an honest plan and is also precocious. Outsiders only see that he has protected the prince since he grew up, but they do not know that it was the prince who protected him as early as when he became a governor.
He had made many enemies in the palace. When he was still the chief steward around the late empress, he didn't show it. When he fell into power, many people secretly trampled on him. If the prince hadn't been protecting him, he would have been People dare not touch themselves, as their old bones are already withered.
Now that he is both profitable and famous, even if occasionally the Queen Mother in the palace is rewarded, he always has his own.
"There was a commotion in the kitchen. The person who delivered the food before was said to be sick and asked his nephew to deliver it. However, he was not a very good person. The food he delivered was not good. He even went to the kitchen to cause trouble and yelled It’s an errand given by the butler, so let the people in the kitchen talk to the butler.”
Since the chief steward was a sensible person, Shao Wanru spoke frankly.
"The person who delivers the food?" The butler was stunned for a moment, not thinking about it for a moment.
A boy who was following the butler reminded him: "Butler, the servant who delivers food has also heard of it, and it seems that it has something to do with you when you were in the palace!"
After hearing what the young man said, the butler finally remembered and nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes, this matter has something to do with the old slave. The food deliveryman... was the nephew of a eunuch who was around the queen at that time. At that time, he was still because of The late empress died and asked the old slave to take care of his descendants. After leaving the palace, the old slave asked him to help the kitchen deliver food. This has been more than ten years."
It's been so long that the housekeeper can't even remember it.
There is such a thing, no wonder he found the food delivery person in this kitchen. Shao Wanru already knew it in his heart: "Butler, do you remember what this person's character is like?"
"The old slave remembers that this guy is not bad. At that time, the old slave saw that he was honest, so he asked him to bring food to the kitchen. At first, the old slave would check it out by himself. He was always very good. Later, he was given to the kitchen to check things. , I haven’t heard anyone come to report the error since then, so I think it’s okay!”
The butler thought for a moment.
"Then the housekeeper will send someone to take a look. Maybe something has happened to this person." Shao Wanru's eyes narrowed slightly as he reminded.
Since there is nothing wrong with this person, then there is a problem if he is inexplicably ill. The person delivering the food is obviously a troublemaker.
"I'll go check this out soon." The big steward nodded, knowing in his heart that something might have happened in an accident.
"The dishes delivered this morning were all bad. I asked Qingyue to kick people out. Calculating the time, we should have made trouble in front of the chief steward by now. Although the chief steward and I didn't see each other very often in the past, we I also know that the chief steward is a smart man, so I will entrust this matter to him now. I hope the chief steward will find out who is behind this matter."
Shao Wanru said, the chief steward is a smart man, and he is respectful to himself, so it is easy to talk about it. If he is biased against him and wants to suppress him because of his status, this matter will be difficult to handle.
The current situation is the best one.
"Princess, this old slave knows." The butler understood.
"If the housekeeper needs Qingyue later, he can bring Qingyue over." Shao Wanru pointedly said, his eyes slightly raised, and his smile was gentle and kind.
As expected, it is not that a family does not enter a house. The housekeeper felt that the pure and kind smile on the princess's face looked familiar. It was exactly the same as the smile on his master's face.
There is no pure kindness in this. It is clearly a plot against people.
Thinking of his kind-faced master with a dark heart, the housekeeper shuddered in his heart, and suddenly felt that the delicate-looking little princess in front of him was probably not a good person after all!
But it’s not good to be a good person. If a royal child is really a good person, I don’t know how he will die by then. If he is not a good person, he is good!
The butler left the backyard with a smile on his face. He was laughing all the way and was in a good mood. He was originally worried that the prince would marry a princess who was too young and ignorant, but now it seemed that the princess and the prince were indeed a match made in heaven.
After leaving the Weeping Flower Gate, the butler suppressed the smile on his face, his face darkened, and he led the boy out with a majestic look. Only halfway through, he saw a boy running with sweat on his face. He came over and said, "Butler, you are here. Someone came to see you just now. It's very urgent. I have asked you several times."
"Who is it?" the chief steward frowned.
"I heard that some kind of kitchen delivered food and asked you to make the decision. I don't know what's going on. I heard that I was completely confused!" The boy trotted after him and reported the report.
"Where did you say I went?" As expected, the princess guessed it right. The butler felt happy but did not show it on his face. He asked as he strode away.
"It's what the butler ordered. Of course I didn't tell him where you went. I just said that the butler hasn't gotten up yet and slept late last night." The boy wiped the sweat from his head.
People from the outside come to look for the big housekeeper. If the big housekeeper is not available, there will always be something to do, but the specific affairs will basically not be told to others.
This time, seeing that it was still early, I deliberately changed my reason.
"Okay, let's go take a look!" The butler nodded and followed the boy out.
After turning a few yards, I saw a young man in his twenties at the intersection. He was standing in front of the road, spinning around. When he saw the big housekeeper coming out, his eyes immediately lit up and he rushed over. He knelt down in front of the chief steward and kowtowed three times to the chief steward: "Chief steward, please make the decision for me!"
After saying that, he burst into tears with grievance.
There were two baskets behind him. The baskets were full of vegetables and meat. There was even a tied chicken that was moving vigorously, as if it wanted to shake off all the vegetables on it. This was really quite vigorous. .
There was also a fish, swaying on the dish. From time to time it jumped up and swung its tail twice, making a snapping sound.
"What's going on?" The butler stopped and asked, looking at the situation with his hands behind his back.
"Little... I don't know what's going on. Today when I brought food, the people in the kitchen either said that the chicken was sick, or that the fish was going to die, or that the food was not fresh, but these were obviously Okay, if the big housekeeper doesn’t believe it, he can ask someone to look at it himself. If there is anything wrong with these things, the little one will accept all the punishments.”
The young man wiped his tears and said, "My uncle has been ill these days, and asked me to help deliver food for a few days, but the people in the kitchen were so bullying. They pointed at me and said this is not good, that is not good, little I was so angry that I wanted to ask the housekeeper for comment, but they were still unwilling. They also found a girl named Qingyue to punish the younger one. They threw the younger one and the basket out, and all the food was spoiled. …There are also some…some that are broken, and the younger ones don’t dare to bring them in to show them to the big butler, so they just ask the big butler to make a decision.”
As he spoke, he bowed heavily to the butler again, and his aggrieved voice became tragically silent.
