Chapter 117: Experienced in Human Relations

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Finally, Shang, the chief steward, could not bear to see it anymore. He coughed dryly and said to Yu'er, "Don't be afraid. We are only here to ask to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. Please help us pass the message, Miss Yu'er."

Yu'er then lifted the immobilization spell and said with a sense of relief, "Please wait for a moment, eunuchs. Yu'er will go and inform Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After that, she hid in Jingyang Palace as if she was escaping from the disaster and reported to Princess Ankang.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang, who were packing up the chessboard inside, saw Yu'er running back at a faster speed. Coupled with the panic on her face, they couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Meow?"

"Sister Yu'er, who is here?"

Yu'er took a breath and answered, "It was Shang and Zhao, the chief stewards. They came together, and Zhao's attitude was weird."

Yu'er glanced at Li Xuan and winked.

Only the two of them knew what happened last night, and they hadn't told Princess Ankang yet.

Li Xuan knew more information, but he just shook his head gently at Yu'er, telling her not to worry so much.

In his opinion, Jingyang Palace was at most affected this time.

Feng Zhaoyuan's pregnancy should be the main course.

They cleaned up and invited the two stewards in after getting ready.

When he saw Princess Ankang, Steward Shang was still very polite as he had been the last few times.

But Steward Zhao, who came for the first time, was different.

"This old servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness."

"I wish Her Royal Highness good health, good luck, good fortune, a strong spirit, harmony, smooth sailing, two dragons soaring, three suns blooming..."

Shang steward awkwardly poked his adopted son who was stepping on the rhythm and ready to show off his eloquence with his elbow.

Zhao Feng's rhythm was interrupted, and his face immediately became solemn and he paid homage.

"This old servant respectfully wishes Your Highness a holy life!"

Zhao Feng did this, and the three little ones in Jingyang Palace were all panicked.

"What is this old guy going to do?"

Li Xuan's mind was full of alarm bells, and he was extremely alert.

Princess Ankang also hurriedly said: "Why are you so polite, General Manager Zhao? Please get up quickly."

She said this and winked at Yu'er, who hurried forward to help him.

"The last time General Manager Zhao took good care of us in the Imperial Garden, Ankang didn't have time to thank him yet."

After that, Princess Ankang also returned a solemn salute.

No matter what Zhao Feng's purpose was, since the other party had done enough courtesy, Princess Ankang would naturally return the favor.

Zhao Feng was helped up by Yu'er, and he thanked Yu'er, which made Yu'er feel very unreal.

People in the palace said that these two general managers were terrible big shots, but Yu'er felt that they seemed to be just two kind old men.

In this regard, if the countless dead souls in the hands of the two stewards knew, they could only laugh and reply: "Little girl, do you want to come down and see us first?"

Li Xuan's expression was amused.

"If you are too attentive without any reason, you are either a traitor or a thief!"

The only changes during this period were the sudden appearance of snakes, insects, rats and ants last night, and the turmoil in the palace this morning.

Although Zhao Feng had a good attitude towards them before, it was far from this extent.

He was also embarrassed. The current steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so flexible.

Those who can climb to this position are indeed not ordinary people.

Princess Ankang was also smart and said directly: "The two stewards came together. I wonder what the big deal is?"

"Haha, this."

Zhao Feng hesitated and glanced at the courtyard of Jingyang Palace.

He had seen it when he came in just now. The courtyard was clean and there was no trace left.

There was only a faint smell of blood.

Yesterday, Li Xuan deliberately froze all the traces and processed them, but the smell was difficult to evaporate for a while.

After all, there were so many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the cats inevitably left a lot of smells while eating.

Yu'er also washed the yard in the morning, but still couldn't hide it from Zhao Feng, a shrewd man.

"Something happened in the palace today, so I came to see if Your Highness is well?"

"Your Highness, did you rest well last night?"

Zhao Feng asked tentatively.

Princess Ankang showed a blank expression, and did not answer hastily, but first looked at Li Xuan, and then looked at Yu'er.

Li Xuan slept beside her every night, and if there was any movement, it would definitely not be hidden from Li Xuan.

Therefore, Princess Ankang subconsciously looked at Li Xuan first.

As a result, she saw Li Xuan nodded to her lightly.

At this time, Yu'er also stepped forward at the right time, whispered a few words in Princess Ankang's ear, and briefly explained what happened last night.

Princess Ankang was surprised to hear this. She didn't expect so many uninvited guests to come when she was sleeping soundly last night.

But Princess Ankang rolled her eyes and did not answer Zhao Feng's question immediately. She asked back: "General Manager Zhao, Ankang wants to ask, what happened in the palace?"

Shang Zongguan immediately lowered his head to hold back his laughter. Zhao Feng reluctantly replied, "There was an insect plague in the palace, which disturbed many nobles and caused some people in the palace to panic."

He then pretended to know it now, and continued, "It seems that Jingyang Palace has also been affected. Your Highness Princess has always been delicate and weak, and I think she has also been frightened."

Zhao Feng asked with expectation.

After such a clear indication, Princess Ankang was also at a loss for words and asked, "Does Zongguan Zhao want me to be frightened? Or not frightened?"

"Oh, Your Highness Princess is really joking."

Zhao Feng's smile at this time was not a smile, but a wonderful expression.

Li Xuan also saw the clues and cursed in his heart, "So it's you, old thing."

It's not that Princess Ankang and Li Xuan are so intuitive, but Zhao Feng deliberately didn't cover up much, hiding his intentions with an extremely clumsy attitude.

This is the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Would he be a clumsy person?

He was just too embarrassed to say it directly, so he apologized in a roundabout way and lowered his posture, hoping that Princess Ankang would feel in control of the situation.

Li Xuan could only vaguely guess Zhao Feng's intention.

But he could make people feel so comfortable with this kind of thing, which was really a great means.

Even the ideas that Li Xuan could guess might have been intentional by Zhao Feng.

He simply made people reach a certain level.

"He is good at dealing with the ways of the world, and he is so insightful about people's hearts."

"This palace is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

Li Xuan now is, "30-year-old" me sneers, "one-year-old" me analyzes sentence by sentence.

He has been dealing with these people these days, and has learned more about the ways of the world than in the previous 30 years combined.

Seeing that both sides laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed, Manager Shang interrupted at the right time and said, "Feng'er, don't beat around the bush with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Why don't you kneel down and apologize immediately?"

Manager Shang rarely called Zhao Feng like this in front of outsiders. He always gave this adopted son enough face outside, but now he said this for the first time.

Zhao Feng did not hesitate, and immediately knelt down and bowed his head to apologize.

"I am guilty, please punish me severely, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Zhao Feng's tone was just right, with both his disappointment in himself and his shame and anger after regretting something. The slightly trembling crying voice was the finishing touch.

Just kneeling like this, the difference in level was immediately revealed.

The three little ones were stunned, and they thought at the same time:

"So professional!"
