The early morning sun shone on the Prince's Mansion, giving it a layer of gold. After a night of dealing with the mess left by the fighting in the Prince's Mansion last night, it had been cleaned up by Chief Steward Hai. The injured guards were also arranged in the backyard. Now that the backyard was vacant, the guard was placed there, which could be considered a residence. Moreover, the backyard was too far from the front yard and would not disturb the Prince. Chief Steward Hai's approach also made Shang Wuxin very satisfied.
"Crown Prince!" Wuwei and Wuju were standing at the door of the bedroom. When Wuwei came back early this morning and heard about what happened last night, she blamed herself very much. She thought that she must deal with the outside affairs as soon as possible in the future. She was the crown prince's personal maid and should take care of his daily life. If something really happened to the crown prince last night, she would be blamed.
The two men stood outside the bedroom when they didn't hear any sound from inside. After waiting for a long time, they heard some sound from inside. They walked in respectfully. Wuwei combed the prince's hair and arranged his clothes, while Wujue tidied the room and made the bed.
"Why did you come to my place without taking a rest right after you came back?" Shang Wuxin asked while looking at Wuwei combing her hair in the mirror. She was still very tolerant towards her own people, and she would take the time to treat her useful and loyal people well.
Wuwei looked at the prince's black hair and couldn't help but sigh that his hair was better than that of the empresses and princesses in the palace. Listening to the prince's caring words, she said, "I am not tired. It is my blessing to serve the prince!"
Shang Wuxin didn't say much. Since Wuwei was willing to serve her, she felt that the two were indeed very good maids. She looked at Wuwei who was making the bed and said, "You were injured last night. You should train with Wuwei sometimes in the future. This way, you can better protect yourself and serve me in the future!"
"Thank you, Prince!" Wu Jue said happily.
Shang Wuxin felt a pang of tears in his heart when he looked at the two of them. In terms of age, the two girls were older than him. He was afraid that it was because he was too cold in normal times that the two girls were trembling with fear when facing him. Although being afraid of him was a good thing, being too afraid of him would be a burden. Moreover, Shang Wuxin would train these two girls as his right-hand men in the future, so they needed not only ability but also self-confidence. However, this matter could not be improved in a short time.
"You came so early today, what's the matter?" Shang Wuxin asked. Because the two were his personal maids, they lived in this courtyard. Most of the time, they would be waiting outside the bedroom at any time. However, he didn't like someone being outside when he was resting, so he let them rest by themselves at night.
"Prince, today's tutor, Master Huan Moche, has come to the Prince's residence. You should entertain him!" Wu Wei said. Although he knew that the Prince did not take the two tutors seriously, and Wu Wei also felt that the Prince was very smart and did not need tutors at all, it was the Emperor's will after all, and it was also very strange that Master Huan suddenly wanted to be the Prince's tutor, but no matter what, Master Huan should not be easily offended.
"Oh? You're here so early?" Because of the poison this body carried from the womb, even though Shang Wuxin's martial arts skills were very strong, she still inevitably felt tired easily. Moreover, she was a person who paid great attention to rest, and she had a strong grumpiness when waking up, so she usually got up very late. But today, because the two of them were outside the bedroom, she had already gotten up very early. But she didn't expect that the number one young master in the capital would get up so early. Why was that?
"Since you're here, let Chief Steward Hai entertain you!" Shang Wuxin looked at his hair that had been tied up, and his face that looked both male and female. Because he had taken some time to rest and untied the cloth binding on his chest, his breasts were slowly beginning to show. It was really a difficult problem!
"But..." Wuwei looked at the prince and said with some hesitation, "This Master Huan is waiting for the prince in the hall. He said he wanted to teach the prince clerical skills. But Chief Steward Hai couldn't convince him and couldn't kick him out of the prince's house, so he just sat in the hall!"
Speaking of this Wuwei, it was also very strange. Everyone knew that this Master Huan was not an easy person to get along with. Even the princes and princesses didn't give him much face, but now it seems that he is going to rely on the prince.
"Do you need me to send this Master Huan away?" Wuwei asked.
Shang Wuxin looked at his tidied clothes and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you can't get rid of him at all!" How could Wuwei get rid of a person who, without any official position, could make nobles follow him and princes and princesses rush to extend olive branches to him?
Shang Wuxin walked slowly into the spacious hall of the Prince's Mansion and saw a young man sitting there. He was wearing a light blue dress, with black hair hanging down, and a transparent jade hairpin holding up a few strands of hair. He was lazily taking a sip of tea, elegant and peaceful. Such a man is worthy of being the first young man in the capital. Even his appearance makes people feel clean and at ease. Unfortunately, Shang Wuxin hated Huan Moche at first sight, not because of anything else, but because of his clean appearance with a pair of extremely eye-catching peach blossom eyes, which made his whole face lively.
Shang Wuxin even recognized this man as the man who had looked at him in the street that day. Ha!
Huan Moche also spotted the person the first time he saw him. He put down his teacup and stood up. "Greetings, Prince!" No matter how popular he was in the capital, he had no official position, so he still had to bow when he saw the prince.
"No need to be so polite!" Shang Wuxin walked to the main seat and no longer looked at Huan Moche below.
Huan Moche also raised his head slightly and looked at the prince. He had looked into the eyes of the prince from a distance that day, but the distance was too far at that time and the prince was sitting in the carriage, so Huan Moche did not see the prince's appearance clearly. Now that he looked carefully, he was inevitably amazed. Today, the prince wore a light purple brocade robe. The corners of his robe were slightly raised, drawing graceful arcs. His hair was tied with a jade hairpin, without any extra ornaments. He was extremely elegant and had an innate dignity that could not be set off or concealed by any gorgeous clothes or jewelry. That face would not be right if it was a little more or less, and those eyes, which were clearly black and white, were like an abyss.
Ever since Huan Moche saw that pair of eyes that day, they have always flashed in his mind, so when he heard that the emperor wanted to find a tutor for the prince, he agreed very unexpectedly. Now seeing this pair of eyes and the prince, Huan Moche felt very comfortable.
