The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 104 Self-Reliance
Lord Xu has been in the officialdom for many years and is able to hold such a high position as the Minister of Revenue. Naturally, he is not a pedantic person.
It can be seen from the fact that he specifically asked Master Tao to handle the matter of Wutong's salary and rice that Lord Xu is quite flexible when it comes to interpersonal relationships.
Moreover, as the Minister of Revenue who was secretly funded and supported by the Pei family, Lord Xu also does things in the style of the Pei family, that is, he is very wild.
So after seeing Baiguo's real skills in counting sticks, he thought about the border trade, which was really too tight on time, and if someone capable could join in, it would be faster.
Moreover, the princess has invested a lot in border trade. It would be better to finish it and then ask the princess for her decision. If it is not appropriate, we will have to redo it.
It would be safer to let the eldest princess's confidants get involved and do things according to the eldest princess's preferences in advance.
So Lord Xu simply suggested to the eldest princess whether Miss Baiguo could provide support for a few more days.
Su Fengyi first asked Bai Guo:
"Do you want to go? If you do, let the disciples you brought with you take care of the affairs in the mansion temporarily, and you should concentrate on helping Master Xu to finish the accounts of the border trade."
Baiguo is not like Wutong. No matter what happens to Wutong, as long as it is the eldest princess who says it, she will not worry too much and will just rush forward.
Bai Guo was a soft-hearted person and thought more about it. He asked Su Fengyi hesitantly:
"Your Highness, they are all men. Would it be inappropriate for a servant to be in there? Would it affect the reputation of the mansion?"
Su Fengyi knew what Bai Guo was worried about. The eldest princess's first-class personal maid was always hanging out with a group of men. If such rumors were to spread, people might gossip about her.
After all, he is not Wutong. For someone like Baiguo, it is not easy to take this step.
Everyone has their own aspirations. If she doesn't like it, Su Fengyi doesn't want to force it. Bai Guo must want it herself.
But considering how difficult it was to take the first step, Su Fengyi pushed her again and said:
"Since I don't think it's inappropriate, then this matter is completely appropriate.
If anyone feels that something is inappropriate, just kill one or two of those who dare to make trouble, and naturally the world will be peaceful and nothing will happen.
Baiguo, the world is big, it is more than just the Princess's Mansion. I hope you will not trap yourself, make mistakes, and limit yourself.
I am asking you, without considering anything else, just considering whether you want to go or not, do you want to go?
Of course, everyone has their own aspirations. If you really don’t want to go, I will reject Master Xu’s offer on your behalf, and there is no need to mention this matter again.”
Dan Gui was watching from the side, and was really worried about Bai Guo, fearing that she would miss such a good opportunity in vain, so she also tried to persuade her:
"That's right, Your Highness is absolutely right!
Baiguo, this is in our own house, what do you have to be afraid of? If you don’t dare to do this and can’t stand up for yourself, who can help you stand up for yourself?
What will you do next? "
Bai Guo actually wanted to go very much, but he was worried that his outrageous behavior would affect the reputation of the Princess's Mansion and affect His Highness's reputation.
She stayed in the Princess's Mansion for a long time, and enjoyed helping the Princess manage and count money, thinking that this was the happiest thing.
I didn't know that being looked at with respect by the adults today turned out to be such a happy thing, even happier than counting money.
Since the Princess and Dan Gui both encouraged her to go, Bai Guo decided to go all out and quickly expressed her determination:
"I want to go, I want to go, please grant my wish, Your Highness!"
Su Fengyi smiled and said:
"Don't be too nervous. If you try it, you'll know it's actually very simple. It's not as scary as you think."
Baiguo nodded vigorously, then took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and with the determination to go up the mountain to fight the tiger, he walked away with a heroic and unyielding stride.
After Bai Guo left, Su Fengyi told Dan Gui:
"Go and arrange a few soldiers to guard outside the gate. If there are any blind people among the gang, who dare to say anything bad to Bai Guo, Bai Guo will be angry.
There is no need to worry about Lord Xu or Lord Pei. Just beat them to death and drive them out of the house.
The people in this palace will not be bullied by others.
If anyone dies, I will take the responsibility."
But obviously, both Bai Guo and Su Fengyi were worrying too much.
The eldest princess's heroic act of killing eunuch Gao in the street, her achievement of beheading the little prince of the northern barbarians, and her reputation as someone who was not easy to mess with were not only widely spread in the palace, but also well-known in various departments of the court.
This is a person who kills people at the slightest provocation. It's just a errand together and it won't affect her salary. Why would she provoke her? Do she think her life is too long?
So after Bai Guo arrived, he worked behind a screen between him and the other lawyers, and the lawyers were all very polite to Bai Guo.
Occasionally, a senior lawyer would mutter:
"How can a woman do this? It's really..."
Before the palace soldiers arranged by Dangui took action, Lord Xu took action first, dismissed the lawyer on the spot and drove him out of the palace.
So Baiguo smoothly took root in the meeting hall specially arranged for the legal advisors in the Princess's Mansion. He followed the masters, going out early and coming back late, working diligently under the stars.
It was not until a few days later, when all the plans were finalized and the eldest princess had reviewed them and agreed with them, that Lord Pei went to the palace to see the emperor, and Bai Guo withdrew from the council hall.
After seeing off Lord Xu and the other advisors, Bai Guo walked on the way back to his room and felt as if he was in another world. Even the sky over the Princess's Mansion seemed higher, farther, and bigger than before.
Baiguo went back and fell asleep immediately. There was a bang, which scared Luqing who lived in the same room with him.
Lu Qing had been keeping watch for the eldest princess for several nights in a row and was catching up on her sleep in the room. She was awakened by Bai Guo's loud noise. She sat up suddenly and looked around in a daze.
Seeing Baiguo lying there like a dead body, Luqing was so scared that she quickly crawled over. After feeling her and finding that she was still breathing, she felt relieved.
Luqing took off Baiguo's shoes, gently covered her with a quilt, and then went back to her own bed to continue sleeping.
Lu Qing woke up again in the evening. Seeing that Bai Guo was still asleep, she hurried to get dinner for herself and Bai Guo.
After bringing back dinner, Lu Qing touched Bai Guo to confirm that she was still alive. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to wake her up.
Luqing left some food for Baiguo and ate the rest herself. Then she went to the kitchen to return the food box and went to the eldest princess' bedroom to take over from Dangui.
In the last few days, Su Fengyi often worked overtime with Pei Yu and others to finalize the final plan. She was very tired, so after washing up, she went to bed early.
Dangui closed the door gently and went to the outer tea room, where she saw Luqing staring at the tea stove in a daze. He looked depressed and not as lively and cheerful as usual.
During this period, Wutong was away on official business, and Baiguo was busy accompanying Lord Xu and the others on their errands. So, it was only the two of them who took turns to keep watch for the eldest princess.
Since Dangui is also responsible for managing various chores in the mansion, Luqing is basically the only one on duty at night. It is indeed hard work and not very fair to Luqing.
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. When people are dissatisfied, troubles will easily arise. The discontent among people is accumulated from these small details.
Dangui thought that Luqing was probably unhappy about this, so she walked over and tried to comfort her.
As a result, when Lu Qing saw her, he asked first:
"Dan Gui, do you feel that compared to you guys, I am really useless?"
