After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

Chapter 37 The Imperial Concubine Finds Trouble

"Yes, Miss." Qing He took the order and left.

In her previous life, she was skilled in strategy and had only dealt with some counselors. Later, when she became the queen, she had no intention of competing for favor and handed over the affairs of the harem to others. She was somewhat unfamiliar with the management of the inner house.

But now she has no interest in the prince and lives on his favor, so it is inevitable that she trains some maids around her to gather information for her.

Soon, Qinghe brought two maids to Xie Mishuang's room.

"Your servant A Xi (A Ya) pays homage to the Crown Princess." The two maids knelt on the ground politely and bowed to Xie Mi Shuang.

Xie Mishuang raised her hand slightly, signaling them to stand up.

"Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ah Xi and A Ya stood up, lowered their heads and stood aside, not daring to look up at Xie Mi Shuang.

Xie Mishuang looked over the two of them.

Ah Xi and A Ya are of similar age, both about fifteen or sixteen years old. They are dressed in aqua-green palace maid costumes, with delicate features, clean and refreshing looks, which makes people feel comfortable.

"You two raise your heads and let me take a look." Xie Mishuang ordered lightly.

Ah Xi and A Ya raised their heads as they were told and looked timidly at Xie Mi Shuang.

Xie Mishuang looked at the two of them carefully, and saw that their eyes were clear and did not seem fake, which made him have a better impression of them.

"Where are you two from? Do you have any brothers or sisters? Are your parents still alive?" Xie Mishuang asked casually.

Upon hearing this, A Xi and A Ya both shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, both we are orphans. We have no father, no mother, and no brothers or sisters." Aya replied in a low voice.

"Oh?" Xie Mishuang frowned slightly, "If you are orphans, then how did you two get into the palace?"

"Your Highness, I brought you two back from your southern tour when you were young," Aya explained. "Your Highness was passing through Jiangnan when a flood disaster hit us once in a century. Our parents were drowned. It was Your Highness who saved us and brought us back to the capital."

"Your Highness is so kind. We two servants are very grateful." Ah Xi also said.

Xie Mishuang's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

She didn't expect that Ouyang Jing could be so kind-hearted.

"Do you two have any special talents?" Xie Mishuang asked, "Or, in other words, what are you two good at?"

"Your Majesty, I know a little about medicine. When I was in my hometown, I learned medicine for several years from the barefoot doctor in the village." Ah Xi said hurriedly.

"I can read account books and use an abacus." Aya also said, "My father used to be the shopkeeper of a wealthy family. I have been learning how to use an abacus and read account books from my father for several years since I was a child."

Xie Mishuang was delighted when he heard this.

These two people really touched her heart.

She is now worried that there is no one around her. These two people, one knows medical skills, and the other can read account books and use an abacus. Aren’t they the talents she needs most now?

"Okay, very good." Xie Mishuang nodded with satisfaction, "From today on, the two of you will serve me."

"Ah Xi, from now on you will follow me and learn medical skills from Mr. Li."

"Aya, from now on, you will follow Butler Hu to learn how to manage the accounts of the mansion."

"You two must study hard and don't let me down."

"As you command," Ah Xi and A Ya answered in unison, with unconcealable joy on their faces.

Xie Mishuang smiled slightly, but her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty, "However, I don't keep idle people here, nor do I keep people with two minds."

"It doesn't matter what you did before, but from today on, your master can only be me."

"If you betray me, I will never forgive you."

Ah Xi and A Ya looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that this new master, despite being so young, would have such a sharp tone.

The two men quickly knelt down and banged their foreheads heavily on the ground.

"I dare not. I thank the Crown Princess for promoting me. I will swear allegiance to you till death!"

Xie Mishuang nodded with satisfaction and then let them stand up.

"Everyone, get up, go down and pack up, and then you will serve me from now on."

"Yes." Ah Xi and A Ya retreated respectfully.

As soon as A Xi and A Ya left, Xin Yan hurried in.

"Long live the Crown Princess." Xin Yan bowed, with an unconcealable look of anxiety on her face.

"Aunt Xin, please get up quickly." Xie Mishuang hurriedly gave her a helping hand, "But what are the instructions from the Queen Mother?"

"It's not really an order." Xin Yan shook her head, her tone somewhat embarrassed. "It's just that the day after tomorrow is Princess Yong'an's coming-of-age ceremony."

"Princess Yong'an is the daughter of Consort Wen. She is now very favored by the Emperor, so we are planning to hold a grand coming-of-age banquet for her."

"Noble Consort Wen specifically asked you, the Crown Princess, to handle this matter. Even the Queen's persuasion was in vain..."

Xin Yan paused, glanced at Xie Mishuang cautiously, and then continued, "So I asked this servant to come over and inform you first, so that you can be mentally prepared."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask the Queen."

Xin Yan's face was full of worry, fearing that Xie Mishuang would feel embarrassed because of this.

After all, Princess Yong'an is not an easy person to deal with.

Xie Mishuang smiled calmly when he heard this.

"I thought Aunt Xin was so anxious about something big, but it turns out it's just a coming-of-age banquet."

"Don't worry, Aunt Xin, I will find a way."

After hearing this, Xin Yan felt even more uneasy.

"But...but Princess Yong'an has always been picky. Relying on the Emperor's favor, she demands the best food and clothing. The fabrics are even better than those used by the Empress..."

Xie Mishuang nodded to show his understanding.

"Of course I know her character, but this is not something that can be dealt with hastily."

"Aunt Xin, please report this to the Queen Mother first and tell her not to worry too much. I will find a solution."

Seeing Xie Mishuang so calm, Xin Yan felt relieved and took her leave.

Seeing this, Qing He frowned and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Miss, Concubine Wen has no grudge against you in the past, so why did she appoint you to organize Princess Yong'an's coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Isn't this obviously a problem for you?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mishuang curled up the corner of his mouth in a meaningful sneer.

"She is naturally doing this for her good son, the current Third Prince."

"Although the crown prince has been decided, both Noble Consort Wen and Consort Yan are eyeing this position covetously. So they want to use this opportunity to show me their power. If anything goes wrong, the Queen and the Crown Prince will definitely be implicated."

In her previous life, Princess Yong'an's coming-of-age ceremony was organized by Concubine Wen herself, and she also participated in it as the Fifth Prince's consort at that time, so as long as this banquet is the same as in her previous life, there should be no mistakes.

I'm afraid that Concubine Wen and Princess Yong'an will deliberately pick a fight...
