Chapter 695: Princess Ruyi Looking for Trouble
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Don’t be anxious. Tell me slowly. What’s going on?” Tang Yuan reached out and stopped Auntie Fatty who almost crashed into them.
Auntie Fatty caught her breath before saying, “It’s that princess. After she arrived here, she looked down on us with disdain, nitpicking at everything. She criticized this and that, and even punished us because of some of our local customs…”
During the time All Yu returned to Hu Family Village, the Astrology Divination Bureau was taken care of by them, as usual.
Originally, this was a very inconspicuous small department. Logically speaking, they should not have been noticed.
However, for some reason, Princess Ruyi, who was living well in the palace, suddenly came here. She even looked bossy.
In her words and between the lines, she kept emphasizing “this princess,” “this princess,” as if she was afraid that others wouldn’t know she’s the only princess of Great Chang.
“Your words are so muddled. The Commander can’t understand. How about this? Let Xie Guixin come over and explain it,” Tang Yuan said again.
Now, Tang Yuan’s self-cultivation had reached another level. She knew that ordinary people in high positions would not talk to people with lower status than them. It was not because All Yu looked down on these people, but because the rules had always been like this, lest the subordinates did not know their limits and become enboldened, crossing the line one day.
Ah Yu originally felt that there was no need. She preferred to communicate face-to-face. Wasn’t her status very unequal with the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and the others? But didn’t she speak directly to them as well? They didn’t ask to let a middleman pass the message.
However, Tang Yuan insisted, so Ah Yu could only let her be.
As a result, All Yu basically did not need to say anything. Tang Yuan became her mouth.
Auntie Fatty did not think that there was anything wrong with this. Her face immediately turned bitter. She first looked at Ah Yu, then at Tang Yuan. “It’s not that I don’t want to call him over, but it’s because Princess Ruyi saw Xie Guixin and said that he was good-looking and wanted to bring him back to raise him!”
“All?” This time, it was All Yu’s turn to be confused. “Doesn’t Princess Ruyi look very young? Why is she raising a man at this time? Also, isn’t Xie Guixin already past the age limit? The age difference between the two of them is too great.”
“But she’s a Princess and we’re nothing. Who dares to go against the Princess’s words? Now, Xie Guixin is saying that he’s been humiliated and claimed that he has nothing to live for. The Princess said that Xie Guixin embarrassed her and is planning to drown him in the pond!”
Ah Yu :”…”
What kind of strange thing was this?
“Bring me over to take a look.”
At the very least, she was the commander-in-chief. It was impossible for someone to bully her people and ask her to pretend not to know.
Even if the other party was a Princess, that would not do. A Princess did not have three heads and six arms!
On the way there, Ah Yu was still asking Tang Yuan, “1 heard Auntie Fatty mention Liu Fang. Isn’t Big Sister Liu Fang on duty elsewhere? When did she become our people?”
Tang Yuan had already found out about it the day before. “Big Sister Liu Fang said that she received your grace and specially went to beg the steward of the Internal Affairs Bureau to transfer her to our Astrology Divination Bureau. She also brought a few good sisters with her. Now, there are already four to five palace maids working in the Astrology Divination Bureau.”
Perhaps before long, there would be a few eunuchs coming too. At that time, it would be more convenient for everyone to do things. They would not have to do everything themselves.
Auntie Fatty walked in front and also heard her words. She said, “Commander, Princess Ruyi said something unpleasant back then. Liu Fang couldn’t help but argue with her and was slapped by Princess Ruyi. I’m afraid her entire face is swollen now!”
When Ah Yu heard this, she was angry. “How can she hit people casually?”
As they spoke, they heard a few crisp sounds and a domineering female voice. “Haven’t you eaten? Use more strength!”
Ah Yu paused and raised her voice.. “Stop!”
