Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

On Xia Zixuan's side, Jinghe and a few others came in from outside with basins of water, "Girl, come and wash up."

"Why did you come back so soon?" Xia Zixuan asked puzzledly.

Zhiqiu put the water on the basin rack and said, "Mr. Mu asked someone to deliver water, and we ran into them just as we went out."

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Well, let's just wash up first!"

Just as they finished washing up, they heard a woman's voice coming from outside, "Is Miss Xia here? I'm Tinglan, here to bring tea to the lady."

Xia Zixuan and the others looked at each other and thought to themselves, as expected, she has come. Jinghe said, "Miss, do you want to send her away?"

Xia Zixuan shook her head and said, "No, let's go out and see what she wants to do."

When the master and servants came out of the room, they saw Tinglan standing in the yard with tea in her hand. When she saw Xia Zixuan coming out, she said softly, "Tinglan greets the young lady."

Xia Zixuan nodded. "No need to be polite. What are you doing here?"

Ting Lan responded immediately, "Young lady, you have just arrived at our house and are not familiar with it yet. There are some places you cannot go to, such as the prince's study and the private courtyard. You cannot go to these places."

"But... Tinglan can still go and clean for the prince." She pretended to be shy when she said the last sentence.

Xia Zixuan looked at her with interest and said, "Really? Then what do you usually do at home?"

Ting Lan heard this and said, "It's nothing. You know I'm the only woman in this palace. The men there aren't very careful. They don't usually remember to clean and tidy up the prince's bedroom and study, so all this is up to Ting Lan."

"Oh? Really? Why did I hear the prince say that there are no women in her mansion? Where are you from?" Xia Zixuan was sitting in the pavilion in the yard looking at her.

"Alas, Tinglan is also pitiful, but I am lucky to have met my godfather, who brought me back to the palace, and I am also lucky to be able to serve the prince. Tinglan is really very grateful to my godfather."

"By the way, young lady, if you have any problems, you can come to me. My words are still useful in this mansion." Ting Lan said with his back straightened.

Xia Zixuan and the others looked at each other. She really thought of herself as the mistress of this palace!

Jing He heard this and said, "Does your prince know that you can make the decision?"

Ting Lan glanced at her and said, "Of course I know! Everyone in this palace is very kind to me, so of course what I say is useful. And the prince didn't drive me away when he came back last time! Isn't this allowing me to exist?"

Xia Zixuan was not angry after hearing this. She knew that Mu Chenyi didn't drive her away because he was busy with something at the time and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

When Xia Zixuan saw someone outside the yard, she knew it might be Mu Chenyi and the others.

She smiled and said, "It's not surprising to have an extra maid in this mansion. After all, every royal family, noble family, or wealthy family has a few maids who serve tea, pour water, and sweep the floor!"

When Ting Lan heard her say that she was a maid, her face changed. She had always been thinking that she would also be the mistress of this palace.

Unexpectedly, she called her a maid who swept the floor. Then she smiled softly and said, "Then Tinglan is also the only maid by the prince's side! Before, the prince didn't have a single woman by his side. Don't you know that, young lady?"

Xia Zixuan was too lazy to talk to her and asked, "Is this what you came here to say?"

Ting Lan stopped pretending after hearing this. She said, "You'd better stay away from our prince, or I will make you disappear from here."

It's not like she has never done this before. Once, someone offended her, and she told a servant who liked her about it. The next day, the woman disappeared.

Xia Zixuan looked at the gloom that flashed across her eyes, and she sneered, "Ha! Then I'll see how you can make me disappear."

Then she said to the people outside: "Ayi, Second Brother Su, how long do you want to watch the show?"

Hearing this, Ting Lan turned around and saw Mu Chenyi, Su Baiyu and Steward Lin walking in. Steward Lin glared at her with a look of disappointment, so she knelt down and said, "This servant Ting Lan greets the prince."

Mu Chenyi walked straight over to Xia Zixuan and sat next to her with Su Baiyu.

Mu Chenyi looked at Steward Lin and said, "I don't know when she will have the final say in this mansion. Steward Lin, you have been with me for many years, right?"

Upon hearing this, Steward Lin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it has been ten years."
