"That's good!" Bu Jinghua silently nodded and did not continue asking. Even if she was really curious, she knew that her teacher would not hide anything from her.
Her teacher was definitely an open-minded person as well.
"Disciple, find a quiet place for me to rest tonight. That secret yard seems to be pretty good!" The beehive sounded serious, but from the sound of it, it sounded a little impatient.
"En!" Xiao Hua nodded his head. He knew that tonight would not be a simple night! As he thought about this, the adventurer factors in Bu Jinghua's body started to revolt again. The more Bu Jinghua thought about it, the more he felt that he was a person who liked to take risks. A life of ease might not be suitable for her.
Sigh, he was born to work hard for his life.
Just as Bu Jinghua finished washing up, the butler knocked on the door.
"Fourth prince's consort, in two hours, we will enter the palace to express our gratitude. Breakfast has been prepared. The fourth prince and the fourth prince's consort are already waiting there. " The butler's words seemed very respectful, but how could Bu Jinghua not hear the disdain in his voice?
A bunch of snobbish villains.
"Bring me my breakfast. I'm not going out to eat!" Enter the palace? Thank me? Hmph, she didn't want this kind of marriage at all. This was the person in power. Even if they forced you to eat sh * t, they would make you laugh and say it was delicious.
She didn't like eating with people she didn't like, so it affected her appetite. Besides, her teacher also wanted to eat something else. If she were to eat something outside, wouldn't her teacher be done with it?
"I'm sorry, Fourth Prince's Consort. There's no such rule within the Fourth Prince's estate. This was personally set by the empress!" The steward bluntly refused Bu Jinghua's request and even called out the empress.
This steward was quite shrewd to use the empress to stop her, hmph.
"Then, I'm not hungry, I won't eat!" Bu Jinghua lightly said. He thought to himself that he had already told the path to go to the kitchen to get his food. Judging by the time, the path should have returned.
"I'm sorry, Fourth Prince's Consort. Whether or not you're hungry or not, even if you want to eat while sitting, you still have to attend the three meals a day. The rest of the time, other than a afternoon tea, you're not allowed to start work in the kitchen at all times. So, you have to go out. " The butler spoke word by word. Every word he spoke sounded like a gem, but every word carried a hint of commanding tone. Did this butler treat him as his master? He actually used such a tone to talk to her?
"Also, Fourth Prince's consort, are you waiting for your maidservants to bring you breakfast? Your maidservant is already waiting in the dining room. There was a slight sneer in the butler's order.
"Yiya!" When the door opened, Bu Jinghua was standing in front of the door. His watery eyes coldly looked at the butler in front of him. The butler had a haughty expression on his face. He stood there without the slightest bit of sadness or modesty.
When the butler saw Bu Jinghua, he was surprised for a moment, but only for a split-second. Soon, he looked at Bu Jinghua with contempt. The more he looked, the more he despised him and he even frowned in disgust.
This butler was around forty years old. His fat ears were covered in oil, and his small eyes were deep and astute. Standing there, Bu Jinghua felt like the butler was sizing him up while the disdain in his eyes was revealed.
"What is it? Is that how you look when you see me? " Bu Jinghua coldly glared at the butler. The arrogance on his face was even greater than the butler's.
Upon hearing Bu Jinghua's question, the butler was surprised for a moment before he narrowed his shrewd eyes and laughed.
"Hehe, I, Long Meng, have seen the fourth prince's consort. I am the steward of the fourth prince's residence, so I will take care of all the matters here and there. In the future, if there is anything that the fourth prince's consort needs, just let me know and I will do my best to arrange everything!" The housekeeper looked like he was bowing, but his body was still standing straight. At most, his head only moved. His smiling face made his eyes appear even more indiscernible. Only two rays of light shot out from his eyes, showing a slight displeasure.
"Finished? "Humph, humph …" Hearing Long Meng's words, Bu Jinghua laughed wildly. His words were pleasant to the ear, and he'd already used the empress to refute such a small request of hers. What other request could she have?
The smile on Long Meng's face stiffened when he saw Bu Jinghua's alluring smile. He began to size up the little girl, who was so fat that her entire body bulged. This girl, when it came to matters, she was so calm, neither angry nor alarmed, unlike that little girl, Young Master Ying, who was so angry that she lost all rationality. After he brought out the Empress, he could only obediently listen to her, sitting inside the dining hall and waiting for her.
Bu Jinghua glanced at Long Meng and lightly said, "Lead the way." Then he walked past Long Meng with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Looking at the cold figure of his back, Long Meng's astute eyes slightly narrowed with shock. After closing the door for Bu Jinghua, he quickly followed and led the way in front of Bu Jinghua. This girl had a calmness and wisdom beyond her age and appearance. This girl was definitely not someone to be fooled.
But, hmph, no matter how difficult it was to fool her, she had to listen to him. In this place, he was the most important person. Long Meng smiled sinisterly and quickened his pace.
Not long after, they arrived at the dining hall and saw Young Master Ying, Long Yan and the others sitting at the dining table. Not far away from them, there were six maidservants standing respectfully, each of them having two servants.
When the maidservant saw Bu Jinghua looking at her, she cowered in fear. He lowered his eyes and no longer dared to look into Bu Jinghua's eyes.
"Hmph, so it's finally here. With your appearance, putting on makeup is useless. You are simply wasting your time!" Seeing Bu Jinghua, Young Master Ying couldn't help but taunt him. She spread out her body and sat on a chair with a backrest, then gave an exaggerated burp. After burping, she didn't forget to sigh. So full … "Ahhh!"
"Sorry, I've waited too long, so I ate first. After I'm full, the rest is all yours! Eat. " Young Master Ying stood there and burped as he spoke. His long and narrow eyes swept across the table, only to see a table full of wolfmen. A single piece of meat and some vegetables had been placed on the table.
Young Master Ying proudly looked at his masterpiece, complacently looked at Bu Jinghua's calm face, proudly smiled, and provoked.
This guy was seriously addicted to acting and acting. Since he was so smart, then his martial prowess definitely wouldn't be under the influence of the young master, and he wanted to whip her … That was an easy thing for her to do, but this guy actually let her injure him, he definitely wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately make things difficult for others. He would definitely not enter the palace later on just because he wanted to make things worse for himself … It looked like he did it on purpose.
Bu Jinghua lightly smiled and sat down. He coldly looked at the mess on the table and asked the butler, "Butler, can I leave now?" Even if his stomach was drumming, Bu Jinghua would not lower his head and give in. The more anxious you were, the more successful the other party would be in provoking you.
"Yo, you just arrived and you want to leave? You haven't even eaten yet. Eat, at least eat some. How about this, with your figure, you don't have the strength to support yourself!" Young Master Ying "kindly" advised. After he finished speaking, he smiled even more complacently. She even pushed the plates towards Bu Jinghua.
Bu Jinghua did not care about the Young Master Ying, even when she was transparent. She only coldly looked at Long Meng, waiting for his reply.
"Two princes and consort, you've just arrived at the fourth prince's mansion, so you're not very clear about the rules here. Take this opportunity to make a declaration to the two of you. Both of you know that the fourth prince isn't an ordinary person. Therefore, the rules here are quite special. Since the two imperial concubines were from the estate in the future, then it was necessary to abide by the rules. The following is the rules of the fourth prince's consort. " Long Meng didn't answer Bu Jinghua directly. Instead, he used some kind of vulgar language to restrain Bu Jinghua. He took a step forward and took out a small booklet from his chest and slowly said word by word:
"First, anyone who goes out of the manor must be approved by the butler (i.e. me). Otherwise, no one is allowed to go in or out of the manor without permission.
Second, breakfast, lunch and dinner must be in place on time. Except for afternoon tea, which can be prepared without authorization, the rest of the time no one is allowed to enter or leave the kitchen.
Third, if you want to store things, you must also get my approval.
Fourth, you must be arranged by me to enter the residence for guests to come to visit.
Fifth, at night, you must turn off the lights and go to bed on time. After nightfall, no one is allowed to go out.
"Sixth..." Long Meng read on and on. Every rule of the house had one meaning, and that was, the master had to go through his knowledge and permission to do anything. Hmph, the rules of the fourth prince's residence are quite interesting. The lord actually has to listen to the commands of a servant.
"Also, you don't need to call me butler. Just call me Uncle Meng!" After Long Meng finished speaking, he didn't forget to remind him.
After hearing so much, not only did Gongzi Ying's face turn green, but even Bu Jinghua went silent. This was clear evidence that Long Meng was the real master.
"Long Meng, you count as the housekeeper?" Aren't these rules for us to obediently listen to you? "Don't forget, we are the masters here. You are just a housekeeper!" She glared at Long Meng. Because of the matter of breakfast, she already had a lot of opinions towards him, but she never thought that there were now so many rules that were against her. It would be strange if she wasn't angry, but when had she ever been controlled like this in the General's Estate? Even her father didn't dare to bother with her, but now this little steward actually dared to meddle with her!
