Chapter 1781: Chapter 1781: Drawing Lots (6)
Because the training was conducted in the main hall on the first floor, coming and going between floors required passing through here. As a result, Nanny Yu could see everything clearly. Even though she had seen a lot in her lifetime, she couldn’t help but be dumbfounded. This eagle has turned into a spirit!
"Don’t mind it, Nanny," Du Juan chuckled, "My mistress grew up at the foot of a mountain, so she’s very familiar with those animals. This is her pet."
Nanny Yu smiled a bit. She wasn’t completely ignorant; that eagle she just saw, turned into a spirit, was a top-notch Hai Dongqing. Keeping a Hai Dongqing as a pet? It’s said that a single Hai Dongqing in the north is worth an enormous amount of gold, and the fact that it had a bamboo cylinder on its foot for delivering messages implied that this Madam Gu is certainly not a simple person.
However, the more remarkable she is, the more advantageous it is for the Crown Prince.
Yang Ruxin changed her clothes and saw Xiaohei poking its head through the door. She quickly walked over: "You little scamp, how dare you peek at me changing clothes?"
Xiaohei rolled its eyes. With a body like yours, there’s nothing to see, who would be interested? Then it lifted a paw.
When Green Yi and Hong Yi saw Xiaohei, the fear from before welled up again, and they stood motionless by the bed.
Yang Ruxin glanced at the two of them before walking out, lightly tapping Xiaohei’s head in the hallway. How dare it look down on her? As they interacted more, she was already learning how to communicate with these second-generation creatures.
Xiaohei lifted its paw again. Didn’t you see I came to deliver a message?
Yang Ruxin quickly squatted down, removed the bamboo cylinder, and took out the letter inside. After just one glance, she frowned. Wei Yao ran away from home? What happened with the Wei Family?
Once again, she lamented how underdeveloped her information network was; it still needed a lot of improvement.
What’s with that troublemaking Yu Qingge? Such a spectacle without caring how big it could get, and even joined in the nonsense.
Despite blaming the other party, she still had Xiaohei go to meet them on the way, to ensure their safety.
Xiaohei flew out of the corridor window.
Green Yi and Hong Yi let out a sigh of relief once they heard the distant eagle cry fade away.
Yang Ruxin turned around and entered the room, giving the two of them a glance: "You both don’t look well, go rest. I have to follow and learn the rules anyway, so I don’t need you to serve for now."
The two exchanged a glance, then obediently saluted and withdrew.
Downstairs in the main hall, Du Juan balanced a bowl of water on her head, practicing her standing posture. Seeing Yang Ruxin with Green Yi and Hong Yi coming down, she quickly spoke: "Nanny, when we enter the palace later, my madam won’t be taking just one maid, right?"
"According to the rank, madam can bring two servants into the palace," Nanny Yu smiled, "General Gu is fifth-rank, so madam is also fifth-rank. If it’s a spouse of a third-rank or higher official, they can bring three to four servants."
Yang Ruxin quickly called Green Yi and Hong Yi: "In that case, which of you is willing to enter the palace with me?"
The two immediately lowered their heads and said nothing. Neither wanted to go. They’d rather not go in and risk getting scolded by that master without doing anything wrong.
Yang Ruxin frowned, "What? Nobody willing?"
Green Yi and Hong Yi quickly knelt down on the ground: "Madam, please quell your anger. We are at your disposal."
"In that case..." Yang Ruxin rubbed her chin, "Let’s draw lots then."
