Li Zhiwei looked at Nanny Feng in confusion, not understanding what important matter was so hard for her to bring up.
However, Li Zhiwei thought that she was a child who listened to advice. As long as the matter proposed by Nanny Feng was reasonable, she would adopt it.
However, seeing Nanny Feng looking so nervous, Li Zhiwei felt a bit uncertain.
"Just say it, Nanny," Li Zhiwei said in as relaxed a tone as possible.
"Then this old servant will speak bluntly. The senior maids around the princess should be renamed. After all, the name of our heir is Qingshi. As a matter of principle, the names of the girls around the princess should be changed so as not to be the same as that of the heir." When Nanny Feng said this, she also felt a bit nervous. After all, as far as she knew, although Qingsong around the prince had a different name from the heir, the pronunciation was similar.
Hearing this, Li Zhiwei was also stunned. This was something she had neglected.
Or rather, she hadn't paid attention to it. After all, the Li family had never been in touch with the rules of the prominent families before, and she didn't know about them.
Now that she had heard what Nanny Feng said, she was glad that she hadn't rejected the suggestion just because these people were given to her by her mother - in - law.
"This is my lack of consideration," Li Zhiwei quickly said.
Nanny Feng didn't expect Li Zhiwei to react like this. She thought to herself that this princess was too easy - going.
If she were the mistress of an ordinary family, it would be fine.
But she was the Princess Consort of Prince An. Being too easy - going was not a good thing.
Servants were good at judging people and treating them accordingly. The princess was of humble birth.
If things continued like this, it was inevitable that she would be bullied by the servants.
"Princess, you are the master. There is no need to apologize to this old servant. Whatever you do is right," Nanny Feng said, looking at Li Zhiwei with disapproval.
Li Zhiwei was taken aback at first.
Then, following Nanny Feng's gaze, she looked at the somewhat lazy servants outside the hall.
She seemed to understand what Nanny Feng meant.
At the Mansion of Prince Lanhuai, the prince waited and waited, but didn't receive the imperial edict from the emperor to make Huo Yunzhi his concubine. Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai couldn't help getting anxious.
"Did anyone come from the palace today?" Prince Lanhuai looked at Eunuch Wu beside him uncertainly.
"Your Highness, no one came from the palace today," Eunuch Wu said, a bit puzzled. He wondered why the prince was waiting for someone from the palace.
Could it be that there was something very urgent?
However, Eunuch Wu didn't dare to ask. After all, his master had been in a bad mood recently. If he accidentally offended him, it wouldn't be good.
"What's going on?" Prince Lanhuai said impatiently, thinking that Zhu Jingchen was so slow in doing things.
Damn it! It seemed that he had to speed up and seize the throne earlier.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened," Changsheng rushed in, his face full of anxiety.
"What's the matter?" Prince Lanhuai frowned and asked, feeling that this was not a good sign.
"Our people got the news that iron ore was found in the deed of the mountain where the Huo family used to live," Changsheng said with a solemn face.
"What? Whose name is the mountain in now?" Prince Lanhuai asked ferociously, mentally calculating how to snatch the deed from the Cheng family.
Iron ore!
Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai felt extremely pained.
If it weren't for Huo Yunzhi's visit to the gambling house, how could those things have been lost?
Huo Yunzhi was a useless and disruptive person.
Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai's disgust for Huo Yunzhi deepened.
"The iron ore was presented to the Empress Dowager by the Cheng family," Changsheng said, feeling regretful. It was such a pity that this thing could have been their master's.
If their master had obtained the iron ore, it would have been like a tiger growing wings.
"Who discovered the iron ore?" Prince Lanhuai still held a glimmer of hope that the emperor and the empress might not know about this yet.
He fantasized that if they didn't know, he might still have a chance to take it back.
"It was the people of Prince An," Changsheng said, annoyed. He felt that Prince An was born to be a nemesis of their master.
Because of Prince An, their master had been having trouble in everything.
Now, he even snatched the mine from their master.
"If so, presumably what Huo Yunxuan said in the letter about the jewels in the suburban mansion should be true," Prince Lanhuai thought, feeling a breath of anger stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down.
"But at that time, our people went there and didn't see those things," Changsheng said, puzzled.
"Humph, someone had transferred the things in advance, so our people naturally couldn't find them," Prince Lanhuai said angrily.
Hearing this, Changsheng was also shocked. The person behind this had such a deep - seated intention.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Changsheng looked at Prince Lanhuai and asked.
Before Prince Lanhuai could say anything, a young servant rushed over and said, "Your Highness, our mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards."
"What?" Prince Lanhuai stood up abruptly when he heard this.
What did it mean that the Imperial Guards had come to his Mansion of Prince Lanhuai?
"Your Highness, you'd better go out and have a look. There are a lot of Imperial Guards outside," the young servant said anxiously.
Hearing this, Prince Lanhuai quickly strode out.
At the same time, he felt a bit flustered. If the things he had done were discovered by the emperor, it would be a capital crime.
But the fact that the Imperial Guards had come to the mansion obviously meant that they hadn't found anything. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the Imperial Guards who came.
Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai comforted himself in his heart that it would be all right.
Surely, his misdeeds hadn't been discovered.
"Where is the princess?" Prince Lanhuai suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Princess Fuan for a few days.
He wondered if this naughty girl had caused trouble outside.
Thinking of this, Prince Lanhuai was also dissatisfied with Princess Fuan and Princess Consort Lanhuai. If the princess consort hadn't spoiled her daughter, how could she have caused trouble outside?
When Prince Lanhuai rushed to the outside of the mansion, he saw Jin Yan leading the Imperial Guards surrounding the Mansion of Prince Lanhuai.
"Oh, isn't this Commander Jin Yan? What brings you to my humble abode today?" Prince Lanhuai said with a smile as he walked up to Jin Yan.
He was thinking about whether he could get on good terms with Jin Yan and settle whatever matter it was privately. Surrounding his mansion with people like this would surely make people misunderstand.
"Are you Prince Lanhuai?" Jin Yan looked at Prince Lanhuai, a bit surprised. He had never thought that this seemingly harmless Prince Lanhuai was actually plotting a rebellion.
If he hadn't overreached, the emperor might have also misunderstood that this man was just loafing around in the capital.
After all, Prince Lanhuai didn't have much talent. He shouldn't have been able to stir up much trouble.
But such a man not only secretly mined gold but also wanted to take possession of the iron ore. His intentions were obvious to all.
However, now, seeing Prince Lanhuai looking so friendly, did he think that Jin Yan would show mercy?
