A life of ups and downs is pure joy

"These maids were specially sent here by the prince. You can choose from them. Those who are suitable for you can stay, and those who you don't like can leave the courtyard."

Wan Dong supported Zhuang Ge'er and pointed at the servants in the yard and said.

"There are so many people in the palace..."

Zhuang Ge'er couldn't help but murmur as she looked at the huge crowd, then she looked at everyone carefully and shook her head.

"Wan Dong, it's up to you to choose. You are more familiar with the affairs of the palace than I am."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the maid beside her who had served her for more than two years and said, after all, she was the maid who followed the prince to the Zhuang family.

"Then I will make the decision for you, young lady."

Wan Dong bowed to Zhuang Ge'er, then walked into the yard and walked around carefully a few times. Then he picked out eight maids and four old women, and asked the others to leave.

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the servants who stayed behind and had been assigned their respective tasks and positions by Wan Dong, so she sat there and began to observe the place where she would live from now on.

This young prince was very good to her. The yard was very large, with flowers, trees, rockery, corridors and ponds. There were many rare flowers and plants planted in the yard. Zhuang Ge'er thought that he was worthy of being her father's student, and he treated her very well.

Wan Dong looked at Zhuang Ge'er who was frowning and thinking alone, so he asked the maid beside him to bring the cold medicine over.

"Miss, it's time to take your medicine. I see you have a headache again, don't you?"

Wandong knelt down and handed the bowl of medicine in his hand to Zhuang Ge'er.

"How long do I have to take this medicine?"

Zhuang Ge'er looked at the bowl of black soup and asked reluctantly.

"The prince said that the young lady has suffered head and stomach injuries since she fell into the water three years ago. So, you must continue to take the medicine. The miracle doctor said that one day the young lady will definitely be able to remember everything."

Wan Dong's expression changed slightly, and then he spoke with a smile.

Zhuang Ge'er had no choice but to pick up the bowl of soup and drink it with gritted teeth. After she finished drinking, the maid serving beside her hurriedly took the empty bowl and handed her mouthwash and candy.

"No need for Tangguozi. Today's medicine is not as bitter as before."

Zhuang Ge'er looked at Tang Guozi and shook her head.

"The prince knew that the young lady was afraid of bitterness, so he asked the doctor to change some of the ingredients in the medicine. Therefore, the taste of this medicine today is indeed different from the previous ones."

Wan Dong handed the bowl of soup and candies to the maid on standby, then knelt beside her and straightened the hem of Zhuang Ge'er's skirt while speaking.

"The prince is interested."

Whenever Zhuang Ge'er thought of the young prince, she always felt something strange in her heart, but she couldn't tell what was strange. He just seemed very familiar, but she couldn't remember a single detail. Perhaps it was really as everyone said, they had known each other since childhood, but she just couldn't remember it because she was sick.

"The prince went to Daming Palace early in the morning to pay his respects to the old emperor, and it was also for you, young lady."

Seeing that Zhuang Ge'er no longer frowned, Wan Dong continued speaking.

"for me?"

Zhuang Ge'er looked down at the maid kneeling beside her in surprise.

"The prince wanted to give the girl a title as soon as possible, so he went to discuss the matter with the old emperor as soon as he came back."

Wan Dong smiled slightly and then said playfully to Zhuang Ge'er who had a confused look on her face.

"I see."

Zhuang Ge'er felt some complicated emotions in her heart. She was going to be a wife without even remembering anything. Now she was alone and helpless, so she could only smile and nod.

The Daming Palace is a small imperial palace in the south of Tokyo. It is home to the famous and respected Sixth Prince of Dayan, now the old emperor Gong Zheshan.

"Father, I have already taken care of Master's funeral. Those former subordinates have also surrendered to us. The entire manor has only a few servants, and they are either deaf or dumb. I have dismissed them all with silver."

In the garden, Gong Kou Shi, dressed in white, was strolling with her arm around Gong Zhe Shan, looking at her father thoughtfully and saying.

"Shi'er handled this matter very well. Father is very pleased. I heard that you brought Nanqi's orphan back home?"

Gong Zheshan nodded with satisfaction, looked at his child with gentle eyes and asked.

"Oh, she is going to be my princess. I will definitely bring her back."

A smile flashed across Gong Kou Shi's eyes, and then she continued to hold Gong Zhe Shan's arm and spoke.

"Shi'er, I'll let you play around as you please. Zhuang Nanqi is not like others. He's your mentor. I'll make that child a princess and find her a good match. Don't mess with her."

Gong Zheshan knocked on Gong Kou Shi's head and said.

"Father, I'm not kidding. I must have a princess no matter what. I don't like anyone else. I think Zhuang Ge'er is perfect."

Gong Kou Shi stopped and said seriously.

"you…"

Gong Zheshan gave all his indulgence and good temper in his life to this child of his.

"Father, you said that I can do whatever I want. Now I just want to be crowned a princess. Why do you say I am fooling around?"

Without waiting for Gong Zheshan to finish, Gong Kou Shi continued.

"How can you, a girl, marry and become a concubine?"

Gong Zheshan looked at the face that looked exactly like his deceased wife and said helplessly that his unlimited indulgence since childhood had made the child's path become more and more strange.

"Father, the entire Great Yan knows that you have two sons, but no daughter, the princess."

Gong Kou Shi said disapprovingly.

"But you are not a man after all, silly child."

"Father, you say I am, and the whole of Dayan thinks I am. Now what's wrong with me getting married? Father, good father, I will make Zhuang Ge'er my princess."

Gong Kou Shi said firmly.

"you…"

"Old Emperor, Mr. Ghost is back."

Before Gong Zheshan finished speaking, he knelt before several black guards and reported.

"Father, my master has returned. Isn't this a coincidence? He must have come back after smelling the wine from my wedding day."

Gong Kou Shi smiled slightly, then let go of Gong Zhe Shan and said.

"Nonsense."

Gong Zheshan said softly, then looked at his fake son and smiled helplessly, let him act silly, it's not the first time.

"Master has returned, so I will leave now. It's time to prepare for my big wedding. Father, I will take my leave."

Gong Kou Shi saw from afar the old ghost Xue Mo Dao walking quickly into the garden, and she kowtowed to Gong Zheshan and said.

"Remember to visit your brother in the palace."

After Gong Zheshan finished speaking, Gong Kou Shi patted her clothes and left happily. She bowed to Lao Gui and left the garden.
