After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Chapter 268 I feel fine being alone

Yi Yue, who was standing by, nodded respectfully but sighed in his heart. It seemed that the prince had been blinded by anger and had completely forgotten the previous life-and-death crisis.

Moreover, even if she really wanted to kill Mangshan, she didn't have the ability to do so.

However, as a subordinate, she could only obey orders and turn around to prepare to carry out the mission.

However, at this moment, Xuan Yemin suddenly stopped him again: "Also, you must find out who wants to kill me! If I find out who did this, I will never let him go!"

Yi Yue was slightly startled, then lowered her head and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will thoroughly investigate this matter." After that, she turned into a black shadow again and disappeared on the spot.

After January left, the room was silent for a while. Xuan Yemin took a deep breath, lay on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

He knew that his most important task now was to heal his injuries.

Jade Mansion.

An Ning looked at Zhou Heng who came to see her and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why do you want to buy a maid? I feel fine being alone."

Zhou Heng spread his hands and whispered, "It's not the third brother. I want to buy a few more servants for my niece."

"Besides, we'll be staying here for a while, so it might be helpful to buy more people."

An Ning frowned and said, "If Uncle San says to buy it, then buy it. Why are you asking me?"

Zhou Heng pursed his lips and remained silent for a while: "Maybe the third brother doesn't want people to think he is partial to one person over the other."

An Ning finally compromised, but put forward her own conditions: "Okay, I only want one. But I have a requirement, not an old one, and not an ugly one. It would be better if she can read, is young and beautiful."

When Zhou Heng heard this, his eyes widened and he said in surprise, "You also look at age and appearance when selecting maids?"

An Ning nodded as a matter of course, "Of course I have to look! If the maid is pleasing to the eye, I will be more motivated to work!"

Zhou Heng felt that he might not really understand the girl's thoughts and sighed helplessly, "Okay, I'll help you choose someone who meets the requirements." After that, Zhou Heng left An Ning's residence.

Not long after, Zhou Heng led a dozen maids, servants and matchmakers back to An Ning's room.

Zhou Heng originally wanted to let Qi Wuyou and An Ning choose together.

However, Qi Wuyou walked in leisurely with melon seeds and a small stool, as if he was ready to watch a show.

After all, she had no shortage of servants around her, so she had no plans to buy a maid.

She just felt a little bored after staying in the house for too long. It was a rare opportunity to encounter such a rare thing, so she naturally wanted to join in the fun.

An Ning, who was disturbed, had an indifferent expression on her face and looked at Zhou Heng with a sullen expression.

"Uncle," An Ning said with a hint of impatience, "Why did you bring everyone back?"

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "I think these girls are all good-looking, so I brought them here for you to choose from. You can pick some to serve in your courtyard, and the rest can stay in the mansion as maids."

He paused, then continued, "You should also choose, little servant. You have a lot of physical work to do, and it's not appropriate to always let the maid carry things."

This is indeed true. In An Ning's yard, one needs to buy, dig and dry medicine every day. Without a strong servant to help, it would be a bit difficult.

Hearing this, An Ning nodded and agreed: "Okay then."

She walked up to the maids and servants and looked at each of them carefully, but finally frowned. None of the ten or so people caught her eye.

The matchmaker nearby noticed the change in An Ning's expression and started to ponder it in her heart.

She smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss, we have other maids here. They are all first-rate in appearance. Would you like to take a look at them?"

An Ning looked at her expressionlessly and did not respond to her question. She just nodded slightly to show that she agreed with her proposal.

"Great! I'll have someone bring them here right away." The matchmaker rubbed her hands excitedly, then turned and left the room.

Not long after, the matchmaker came in with a group of young women.

An Ning carefully scanned all the women until she saw one. An Ning was stunned for a moment and finally chose that person.

"Let's choose her." An Ning said, pointing at a woman who was dressed simply and elegantly.

The matchmaker immediately responded, "This lady has really good taste! This girl was just bought today, and she can even read."

An Ning nodded slightly, then said to the woman, "What's your name?"

"My name is Yuehua," the woman lowered her head and answered softly.

Following the rules of the imperial capital, An Ning handed her a silver hairpin as a greeting gift and told her: "From now on, you will follow me."

Then, An Ning selected two more servants.

Then he nodded to Zhou Heng and said, "Okay, Second Uncle, I have enough manpower here."

Hearing this, Zhou Heng nodded to An Ning, looked at the matchmaker and said, "Let all these people stay."

He turned around and took out a bag of silver from his arms. The dark blue cloth bag felt heavy and looked bulging, as if there were a lot of things in it.

He handed the bag of silver to the matchmaker and said, "There are one hundred taels of silver in it, which should be enough to buy these people."

The matchmaker carefully took the purse, weighed it with her hand, and was secretly delighted.

She knew the newcomer was wealthy, but she didn't expect him to be so generous this time.

She thanked Zhou Heng with a flattering face, with greed flashing in her eyes, and then left happily.

Qi Wuyou witnessed the whole process and felt very surprised and confused.

She widened her eyes and asked curiously, "Second Uncle, why did we hire so many people?"

Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and gave a mysterious smile.

He turned around and divided the remaining maids into four groups, with a different number of people in each group.

Then, he whispered, "You guys go to the eldest lady's courtyard and take good care of her; you guys go to the second lady's courtyard and take good care of her; you guys are responsible for sweeping the courtyard and keeping the environment clean; you guys go to the backyard to help out and assist with kitchen and chores."

When An Ning heard this, she was surprised and waved her hands quickly, saying, "Second Uncle, I have enough manpower here. I don't need so many maids."

"Yes, yes," Qi Wuyou also echoed, "Yes, Second Uncle, you know I still have Siyun. They can take good care of me."

The main reason was that Qi Wuyou didn't want to waste public resources anymore. When she went out to perform her official duties, she had eight close servants around her.

And there was no one around An Ning.
