Just as Zhou Sisi and the Qiao family walked out of the house, they saw Zhang Dehai smiling and leading a group of people into the yard.

"This old servant pays homage to Princess Yongjia, to Imperial Tutor Qiao, and to Imperial Censor Qiao."

"Eunuch Zhang, there's no need to be so polite. If you have something to say, just come inside and talk!" Qiao Wenyuan said with a smile.

"Haha, no need, no need, Master Qiao, you are too polite. I am here to deliver something to Princess Yongjia. Your Majesty asked me to deliver these to the princess. Haha, I will leave after delivering them!"

After Zhang Dehai finished speaking with a smile, he raised his hand and a young eunuch came over with a tray. Zhou Sisi reached out to take it, lifted the red cloth on it and took a look. She was immediately delighted.

The emperor was really efficient. These were the land deeds and house deeds of the princess's mansion, and there was even a thick stack of what looked like indentures for the palace maids and eunuchs.

"What is this?" Zhou Sisi looked at Zhang Dehai pretending to be confused.

"Your Highness, this is the land deed and house deed of the Princess's residence, as well as the indentures of the maids and eunuchs that His Majesty has bestowed upon you. From now on, they will all be under your control."

"There are also various rewards and other things. I have just brought people to deliver them to the princess's mansion for you. I have also arranged for people to help you clean up the princess's mansion."

"The Princess's Mansion is still under renovation. It will probably only take a day or two. Once everything is ready, you can move in anytime."

"Your Highness can come back to the mansion at any time. And look, these are Nanny Huang and Nanny Zhang. They used to serve the Queen Mother. They are good at accounting. His Majesty has specially allocated this for your use."

After Zhang Dehai finished speaking, he waved with a smile, and two old ladies in their forties or fifties, who looked very stylish, came forward and saluted Zhou Sisi.

"Your servant pays respect to Princess Yongjia!"

When Zhou Sisi saw the two old ladies, one fat and one thin, her mind went to the acupuncture fanatic Rong Mama. She shuddered all over. I wonder if these two ladies can do this.

"Get up! Don't be restrained!" Zhou Sisi suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, smiled and waved to the two maids, telling them not to be restrained.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave now!" Zhang Dehai said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy. By the way, have you arranged to go to my grandmother's place to announce the decree and send the reward?"

"If you haven't already, can I make a request?"

Zhang Dehai was stunned, and then Zhou Sisi quickly stuffed a gold ingot weighing about ten taels into his hand.

"Princess, please tell me. I will definitely help you if I can!"

Zhang Dehai was also startled and quickly put away the gold ingots. This trip was really not in vain. Hehe, Princess Yongjia was really generous!

Normally when he walked around the palace he would receive various rewards from his masters, at most gold melon seeds and gold beads. This was the first time he received gold ingots!

"It's not a big deal, actually. I just want you, Eunuch Zhang, to help me find two strong maids to send to my grandmother. Those who can do farm work and plant crops will be better. Of course, those who can fight will be even better, hehe!"

"Haha! I'll leave it to you. Princess, don't worry, I will make sure everything is arranged for you!"

Zhang Dehai thought it was nothing special. It was just a piece of cake for him, so he agreed without any hesitation.

After Zhang Dehai left, Zhou Sisi turned around and gave Qiao Wenyuan a look. Qiao Wenyuan immediately understood that it seemed that his little girl wanted to build relationships with the two maids sent from the palace and find out the truth at the same time.

Qiao Wenyuan said that he had something to discuss with Qiao Guanjie, and then he took him away, leaving Zhou Sisi with room to perform.

After Zhou Sisi brought the two maids into her yard, she asked the two maids to introduce themselves.

"I want to ask Princess, what is a self-introduction?" The fatter nanny was a little overwhelmed. Mainly because it was the first time she heard the word "self-introduction" and she didn't understand what it meant.

"Just tell me what you are good at, what you know, what you did before, if there is anyone in your family, how many years you have been in the palace, who you served before, etc., so that I can get to know you better and arrange work for you in the future!"

"The main reason is that I suddenly became a princess, and I don't know the rules of the palace. It's a good opportunity for me to listen to you and learn more about the rules of the palace!"

The two maids looked at each other. Wasn't this just a disguised investigation? Wasn't it usually done secretly by the masters above? Princess Yongjia said it so openly that they were quite at a loss.

So the thinner maid stepped forward first and said, "Princess, my surname is Huang, my given name is Rong, I can do accounting, I used to serve in the Queen Mother's palace, helping to manage some small matters, doing odd jobs and the like, I entered the palace when I was twelve years old, I am forty-two this year, my parents died early, and I have no relatives."

Zhou Sisi was delighted when she heard this. Huang Rong? What about Guo Jing?

"My surname is Zhang, my given name is Yu, I am two years older than Nanny Huang, and I also entered the palace at the age of twelve. I used to serve in the palace of Concubine Si, and after the Concubine passed away, I served in the imperial kitchen. I can cook and take care of flowers and plants. I have never married. I have two older brothers and a younger brother at home, but I have never interacted with them!"

The fatter nanny followed closely and began to introduce herself.

Octopus? What kind of weird name is this? Zhou Sisi held back her laughter. The names of these two maids were quite interesting. The thin one looked smart, while the fat one looked simple and honest. No wonder the fat one could cook. That was no wonder.

"Then let me introduce myself too! This way we can get to know each other better!"

"My name is Zhou Sisi. I'm fourteen years old this year. I became a princess by accident. I'm sure you all know why, so I won't say more!"

"I am a person who hates evil. I don't like being fooled or deceived. I am especially protective of my children. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly and are loyal to me, I will never treat you unfairly and can even provide for your old age."

"Of course, when you get old, you can go out and live on your own. As long as you work hard for me, I will definitely provide you with retirement money. But I don't like being played around by others. I hope you understand."

"Take this first, it's my gift to you!"

Zhou Sisi gave each person a gold ingot. She firmly believed that there was nothing that money could not solve, so this was a stepping stone. The old maids who had not left the palace at this age were most likely to have no one at home, otherwise they would have left the palace and married long ago.

She threw out the huge temptation of retirement care, and anyone who was smart would not betray her easily.

"I will never disappoint you, Princess. I will follow your lead!"

Nanny Huang and Nanny Zhang both knelt down and saluted, feeling very happy. They had never expected that at such an old age, they would follow such a generous master. They had to follow her till death. If the old sisters in the palace knew that their princess would provide for them in their old age, they would be absolutely jealous to the point of going crazy.

You know, when the selection was happening, many people were unwilling to follow this commoner princess, saying that she had no future. If they hadn't been ostracized and had no money to give gifts, they wouldn't have been chosen. This is simply a blessing in disguise!
