Tang Xiluo walked into the hall and sat down. The housekeeper also walked into the hall with several maids. They did not feel like servants at all and looked very confident.

After a cup of tea, the man walked in.

"Old slave, please see the prince."

"Slave, please see your Majesty."

Zhan Jingchen walked past them and walked towards Tang Xiluo, his expression gentle: "What happened?"

Tang Xiluo put down the teacup slowly, and the housekeeper answered first: "My lord, for the sake of the princess, this old servant bought some maids from outside the palace to serve her. Who knows that the princess..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes: "My Lord, I have been in the palace for nearly twenty years..."

Tang Xiluo laughed: "You have been in the palace for more than 20 years, so you think of yourself as the master of the palace? Then why don't you stay in the palace for more than 20 years?"

The housekeeper knelt down again out of fear: "Princess, you can't say that!"

Zhan Jingchen raised his hand and said, "Come here, take these maids out and sell them off."

When the maids heard this, they were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life."

The maids sold from the palace would not have a good life. They would be regarded as being inadequate in serving their masters or having made other mistakes and would be despised.

Either you do hard labor for the rest of your life, or you'll be sold to a brothel...

Several maids were completely panicked: "Princess, please accept us. We will serve you wholeheartedly."

Tang Xiluo said nothing and looked at the maids carefully.

Suddenly he pointed to the person next to him who had not spoken: "You, what's your name?"

Xiaolian looked up and found that the princess was asking about her, so she quickly and carefully answered: "My name is Xiaolian."

Tang Xiluo nodded and said, "From now on, your name will be Xiaomei, and you will stay in Liuli Pavilion to serve."

When Xiao Mei heard this, she kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Princess, for the name. Thank you, Princess! I will do my best to serve you."

She thought she would be sold off and was ready to leave everything to fate, but she didn't expect that she would be kept. She was not as pretty as the others, nor as good at speaking as the others, and certainly not as brave as the others, but she didn't expect that she would be kept.

When the other maids heard this, they immediately became jealous: "Princess, we are much more efficient than this girl, please keep us."

"Princess, she is not smart enough to serve you well. Please leave us here."

Zhan Jingchen said coldly: "How dare you! Does the princess need you to comment on her actions?"

Several maids were so frightened that they dared not speak. If they angered the prince, they would easily be sold off, or even convicted of treason and beaten to death.

Soon, several palace guards dragged the maids out.

Xiaomei carefully came to stand beside Xiaoli.

Xiaoli saw her fear and nervousness, so she patted her hands and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, the lady is very good."

Xiao Mei's eyes widened. How dare she be so bold! Not only did she have no manners in front of the masters, she even dared to talk about her in front of the princess and call her Miss in front of the prince.

It was rumored that the second young lady of Tangxi Mansion was arrogant and looked down on everyone. She was actually scared when she was left behind. She was afraid that she would not have a good ending after being sold, and she was also afraid that she would not have a good ending after being left behind.

But seeing Xiaoli like this, her heart settled down a little. It seemed that this master was very indulgent to his maid.

The butler knelt there for a long time and did not dare to say a word.

Tang Xiluo raised his eyes to look at the man, then glanced at the housekeeper.

Zhan Jingchen laughed. His wife was really great. She gave him a look and then let him be the bad guy.

"housekeeper."

When the prince called his name, the butler responded immediately.

"The old slave is here."

He was extremely regretful at this moment. Why did he provoke the princess? Even if the prince did not favor the princess, she could not be bullied the next day after entering the palace! He was too impatient.

"Your Majesty, I failed in my duties and I accept the punishment."

"My Lady Princess, if you are not satisfied with this batch of maids, I will go and carefully select them for you again."

Tang Xiluo raised the corners of his lips and said sarcastically, "How dare I trouble you, the housekeeper, to do something?"

"My lady, you are embarrassing me..."

Zhan Jingchen rubbed his brows and said, "The housekeeper is old. Considering that you have worked hard for the palace for many years, you should go back to your hometown to enjoy your old age."

The butler was stunned, as if struck by a bolt from the blue. He thought the prince would only punish him out of courtesy, but he didn't expect that he would just let him leave directly.

"Your Majesty! I can still share your worries!"

Tang Xiluo was curious: "What worries did you share? Making the palace a mess is also considered sharing worries. It is important for people to know themselves."

If the butler honestly did what he was supposed to do and didn't provoke him, he would stay in the palace.

As she was a person who feared trouble, she was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the palace and left them to the housekeeper so that she could be a hands-off manager.

But he had to provoke her and disgust her. Couldn't she see what kind of people he chose? And he had to arrange them in Liuli Pavilion? What was he thinking?

The housekeeper was terrified: "Princess, please calm down. It was I who was confused. Please give me a chance to make amends."

Tang Xiluo shirked the blame: "He told you to get out, so you begged him!"

Zhan Jingchen: "..." Who is he doing this for? This heartless person should just be mad at himself.

"Pack your things and go. The palace cannot afford servants like you."

The housekeeper kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother sent me to serve you in the palace. If I leave now, I will be ashamed of the Queen Mother's trust!"

Tang Xiluo raised his eyebrows. Is he using the Queen Mother to pressure others again? In the final analysis, he still thinks he is superior to others and has not yet recognized his mistakes.

Zhan Jingchen's face also darkened. No wonder the little girl was angry. So that's why.

"You don't need to worry about the Queen Mother. I will explain it myself."

Tang Xiluo rolled his eyes: "Does the Queen Mother still remember you?"

In the end, the butler was dragged out by the palace guards, and his belongings were thrown out as well.

Tang Xiluo walked out with a swagger: "Goodbye."

The palace steward, who used to be so high and mighty, was always surrounded by people wherever he went, and had a carriage waiting for him when he went out.

Now, let alone a carriage, there is not even anyone to see him off, which shows that the servants in the mansion have long been fed up with him.

The housekeeper snorted, "You are arrogant, rude and incompetent, and you are unworthy of your position! The prince will divorce you sooner or later."

Tang Xiluo smiled brightly: "You are committing a crime of insubordination. I can punish you right now."

The butler was shocked. After all, she was the princess. If she really picked a fight with him, his death would be a worthless death.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Tang Xiluo spoke up and told him the purpose of his coming out.

"If you behave yourself, I will not compete with you for the management of the palace."

The housekeeper sneered, obviously not believing her words. Which woman in the mansion didn't want the power to manage the entire mansion? Not to mention the royal mansion.

Tang Xiluo shrugged: "Believe it or not, I will find someone else to manage the palace after you leave."

After returning home, Xiaoli was furious: "Miss, why did you go to him and say those things?"

Tang Xiluo rubbed her tender face: "I just want to piss him off and make him regret it!" Let him know that I don't care about the things he loves.

Xiao Mei was stunned when she saw the interaction between the two. Even a rich girl from an ordinary family would not lower herself to play around with a maid.

Sister Xiaoli was also very bold. She even dared to ask the princess questions angrily. Why should the servants interrupt when the master is doing something?

Tang Xiluo glanced at Xiaomei. She looked honest on the surface, but they had just met each other and it was hard to tell what her character was like. It would be better to observe her for a while first.

"Xiaomei, you will live next to Xiaoli's house from now on. If you don't know something, learn from Xiaoli."

"Yes, Princess."

"I hate betrayal the most. If I find someone saying one thing to your face and another behind your back, I will not let him off easily."

Xiao Mei knelt down in fear: "I swear that I will be loyal to the princess and will never betray my master."

Tang Xiluo nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, I don't believe in swearing, I only believe what I see."

Xiao Mei understood and quickly promised: "I will prove my loyalty with my actions."

"You go down first, clean up your room and have a good rest for a day, and you will start work tomorrow."

"Yes, the slaves retire."

After the person left, Xiaoli blinked her eyes and said, "Miss, you were so majestic just now!" She was completely different from her usual self.
