Chapter 8 Teach the servants a lesson

As expected, his transformation happened quickly enough. Luo Lan raised her bright eyes, glanced at his face lightly, and then scolded him with a frivolous brow:

"Butler Xu is so proud. Today is my first day on the job. Do you still need three invitations from me before you can come?"

"The villain dare not."

Butler Xu rolled his eyes with disdain. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't show it on his face.

"Don't you dare?"

Luo Lan suddenly raised his whip and struck the ground in front of him with a "snap" sound. The moment the dust started to rise, Butler Xu was so frightened that he backed away.

She directly raised her voice and said coldly:

"The roots are not straight and the seedlings are crooked. Butler Xu is so indifferent to me. No wonder these servants are so bold. I just came today and I don't want to make enemies with you, but you all should be remembered for me. I will pass it on next time.

If anyone is late, don’t blame me for the lack of eyes in my whip.”

After hearing her words, everyone looked at each other in confusion, including the two self-righteous cooking ladies who were also a little stunned.

They even suspected that the identity of this new princess was not simple, otherwise how could she dare to treat them like this in the palace.

Luo Lan turned to Butler Xu and said:

"From today onwards, the prince's meals will be according to my recipes, and he is not allowed to travel."

Butler Xu looked at the whip in her hand and nodded in shock, "I understand."

She then looked at the two cooking ladies, "You two, starting from today, the prince's food will be lighter, with less salt and less oil, but the taste will not be even half bad."

Although the two nuns were unwilling to do so, they could only nod in agreement.

She then looked at Ruyi and the other three girls, "You guys, clean all the rooms in this palace. You will have to clean them every day from now on. The wages you pay are not free of charge."

One of the girls heard this and muttered:

"Who can clean up so many houses? Besides, no one will live in them even if they are cleaned up!"

Luo Lan suddenly frowned and looked at her. She slapped her palms with the whip in her hand and came to look at her angrily.

"If you have something to say, speak loudly so that everyone can hear it. Don't whisper in secret."

The girl quickly closed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Luo Lan glanced at the servants again, and with a flash of eyebrows, he directly ordered:

"Can't you see how dirty the palace is inside and out? I don't care what you do on weekdays. Starting today, you guys will clean the entire courtyard of the palace every day. Don't let me see the dust and garbage everywhere.

"

Those few servants were quite honest. Although no one was willing to respond, no one spoke up.

Luo Lan once again raised her bright eyes and glanced at everyone. Although these people were listening to her words, they might not be convinced, because they all felt that they, the princess, would not be able to hold on for long, and would even accompany the prince to die soon.

, so they must be waiting for a good show.

Thinking of this, while walking back and forth in front of people with her leather whip, she simply raised her voice again,

"You also know that the prince is seriously ill and will not die soon. This concubine came here with a reward of silver. Naturally, she is also a person who wants to die. Therefore, I am a person who doesn't care about death, let alone living. I do this

A princess will look like a princess every day. If any of you are dissatisfied, you have to hold it in your heart and don't let me see it. Otherwise, I will definitely exercise my rights as a princess. I am a hard-hearted person. If you mess with me

If you're in a hurry, I'll kill anyone, don't say I didn't warn you."

Hearing this, everyone took a breath. After all, the woman in front of them was also a princess. No matter what her status was, or how long she would live, she was the princess that Chang Guifei nodded in agreement.

Therefore, everyone bowed and saluted with dissatisfaction, "I sincerely follow the teachings of the princess."

A trace of disdain flashed in Butler Xu's eyes. He has been in charge of this palace for three years and has been the sole leader for three years. Now that such a girl has taken over, he is naturally dissatisfied, but he can wait until this

When the girl returned to the west with the dying prince, everything was not yet under his control.

While he was thinking about it, Luo Lan's sharp eyes suddenly turned to him, "Butler Xu, go back and show me the family's accounts. You have worked hard as a housekeeper for so long. As the princess, I should share the burden for you.

Some."

Hearing this, Butler Xu suddenly panicked. Where did he get the accounts? After being pampered in the palace for so long, most of the salary allocated to the palace by the court was pocketed by him personally, leaving only a small amount for the palace.

Otherwise, how could there be only these few servants left in the palace who suit his wishes?

Seeing that he lowered his head and remained silent, Luo Lan spoke again, "What? Is Butler Xu in any trouble? Or is there no account at all in the palace?"

Seeing that his thoughts had been read, Butler Xu quickly lowered his head and clasped his fists and said:

"The princess is joking. How can there be no accounts in the palace? It's just a bit messy. I'll go back and sort it out before handing it over to the princess, otherwise I'm afraid the princess won't understand."

Although Luo Lan knew that this must be his delaying strategy, she could wait. She would not die in three to five days like these slaves thought.

So she raised her eyebrows and whispered, "Okay, then give Butler Xu ten days. Not to mention cleaning up the accounts, it's too late to do it all over again."

Ten days?

Butler Xu secretly rejoiced, could she survive ten days?

However, he still felt guilty and hurriedly agreed.

She didn't bother to talk to these scornful people, so she told the prince what he wanted to eat for lunch, then turned and left.

After Luo Lan left, these servants were immediately turned upside down.

Those little girls came to Butler Xu to complain.

"Butler Xu, look, I have whip marks on my arms. You have to make the decision for us!"

"That's right, she is just a country woman bought into the palace by Concubine Chang. Why should she be so arrogant towards us?"

"With so many of us, why are we still afraid of her? Butler Xu, you have to make an idea!"

"Yes! Otherwise, let's rebel against her together!"

Butler Xu was still thinking about how he could complete these accounts in ten days, so the nagging of these women made him wave his hands in disgust.

"Don't argue. The royal doctor has already seen her last time. The prince may pass away someday. She will be just a burial object by then. Why are you so anxious? Go get to work!"

Leaving these words behind, he quickly turned around and left.

Although he was not afraid of the new princess, he was also afraid that what he was doing in the palace would be discovered by her.

Every few days in the palace, an imperial doctor or father-in-law would come to see how the prince was doing. If this woman complained nonsense, her good life would be over!

Seeing Butler Xu walk away, Ruyi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke,
Chapter completed!
