42~ Change~
"His Majesty ordered me to definitely take care of you without leaving your side for even a step."
The little Princess held her forehead. She didn't even know what to say anymore. This personal maid arranged for her, saying she wasn't smart, normally could handle matters very well. Saying this maid was smart, she stupidly waited for her for at least three hours, didn't even go do other things herself, didn't even know to find a stool to sit down.
"Sigh... Next time if I take a nap, you go play or busy yourself with your own matters. Don't wait motionless there for me. Understand?"
"But His Majesty's order..."
"Then my order doesn't count as an order?"
"......"
Yu Xi's head crashed on the spot.
Two orders conflicted. She didn't know what to do. She could only stand there stupidly.
The little Princess was completely speechless.
What the heck? She still couldn't turn her head around this?
This personal maid didn't just have a bit of a problem, but a very big problem. The feeling she gave her now was just like a soulless puppet, not having any opinions of her own at all.
She didn't like people like this. She even felt somewhat repulsed.
"Think slowly. When you've figured it out, come find me. Before then, stay here obediently. Otherwise, I'll go find Father the King and have you replaced."
The little Princess sullenly tidied the clothes on her body and walked out of her bedchamber, using all her strength to barely make the door let out a "bang" as it closed.
Sighing helplessly outside the door, she shook her head, preparing to go find her cheap old man in the palace, which was her current Father the King, to discuss some matters.
All the way until after finishing dinner and coming back, the little Princess pushed open the bedchamber door and saw Yu Xi still squatting in the original spot.
"So you didn't figure it out and kept squatting here?"
The little Princess was completely speechless. This maid was probably beyond saving. Her head completely couldn't turn around. Without others' orders, she didn't know how to live, right?
"Sigh..."
The little Princess tapped her own head, couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Princess..."
Yu Xi once again fell to the ground from numb legs.
"After you're better in a bit, go eat by yourself. After eating, wake me up."
"Yes."
After Yu Xi left, she dragged her exhausted body and flopped onto the bed.
Today she was tired. After giving that cheap father king a large amount of suggestions, she felt her mental energy consumption was too great. But it was very worthwhile. It could let the Glaze Nation imperial family's status be thoroughly consolidated, break away from others' interference. When the time came, that cheap father emperor's power would no longer be constrained. He could give her greater power. When the time came, the things she could accomplish would be many.
......
"Your Majesty? You were looking for me?"
"Yes."
Just now, Yu Xi, who was heading to eat, was suddenly called to the palace.
"Please instruct me, Your Majesty."
"I heard Mo say you have a bit of a problem, so I called you here to take a look."
Gong looked Yu Xi up and down, didn't discover any problem. Then he asked her what Mo had said to her before.
Yu Xi truthfully repeated what the little Princess said to her before to Gong.
After listening, Gong rubbed his temples. He already knew what problem the little Princess mentioned was.
No helping it. Yu Xi was picked up and brought back to the palace to be cultivated when she was very young. She didn't grow up like an ordinary little girl. The education she received was naturally greatly different.
At that time, the one responsible for cultivating Yu Xi, he remembered was some imperial guard corps. The ideology instilled was basically all about being loyal to the imperial family, absolutely obeying orders and such. Growing up in this kind of environment naturally led to personality problems.
"Does Princess want to replace me?"
Yu Xi became somewhat disappointed.
"Not at all. Mo just requested another maid from me."
He roughly guessed his precious daughter's thinking, but wouldn't explain to Yu Xi.
"Don't worry. She doesn't mean to replace you. Don't overthink it. Go eat first."
"Yes."
He understood the cause and process of the matter about the same. What he didn't understand among it was that his precious daughter actually valued this maid so highly. Even though there were problems, she didn't apply to replace her. What exactly was going on here?
He was very curious, but also couldn't directly go ask his precious daughter, afraid his precious daughter would dislike him for prying into her privacy.
Thus, he called over the captain of the imperial guards, had her bring the roster to him. He wanted to personally select a guard according to requirements to go to his precious daughter's side to serve as a personal maid, thereby acting as his eyes to see what exactly his precious daughter wanted to do.
......
......
"Princess, my name is He Yan. I was arranged by His Majesty. Your personal maid."
"Mm..."
The little Princess looked up and down. He Yan's every word and action were much more normal than Yu Xi's. Her face also often carried a smile, not like Yu Xi who almost always had a stern face.
"This must be Miss Yu Xi, right? Starting today we're colleagues. Please take care of me~"
Toward He Yan, the little Princess was obviously very satisfied. With such a cheerful and proactive colleague together, surely Yu Xi could also change, right?
......
......
After a long time passed again...
"Sigh... all grown up, how nice..."
The little Princess looked at Maid Xiao Xi full of resentment. This was the nickname she had given Yu Xi over these two years. She normally called her this.
When first arranged by her side, Xiao Xi was still about as tall as her. After two years passed, this stinking Xiao Xi was actually a whole head taller than her!
"This... Princess, you still have room for growth."
Low EQ: You're too short.
High EQ: You still have room for growth.
A trace of anger arose in the little Princess's heart. She fiercely pinched Xiao Xi's face, rubbing and rubbing, pulling and pulling, determined to vent all the resentment in her heart onto Xiao Xi's face.
Fortunately, no one gave her a line like "It's fine, being small is also very cute." Otherwise, she would explode on the spot.
He Yan truly didn't disappoint her. Under her cheerful initiative, Xiao Xi also began to gradually have opinions of her own. Although still not enough, at least she was developing in the direction she hoped for.
Xiao Xi helped the little Princess comb her hair. He Yan was helping her dress.
Under the service of two personal maids, she was successfully raised to waste. Now she was too lazy to do many things herself. She had the maids help her complete them. Now even bathing was having Xiao Xi and He Yan help her wash...
"Xiao Yan, is the work for tomorrow's inspection tour prepared?"
"Prepared. I've already arranged everything according to your requirements. As long as you wish, we can depart at any time."
"Good."
The little Princess nodded with satisfaction. This inspection tour was mainly to see how the area she managed was doing, to see how the local people were living under the special system she implemented. If the system was workable, then it would be implemented nationwide.
She was Glaze Nation's First Princess, also Glaze Nation's youngest regent princess. But no one dared question her ability, because she truly could manage an area in perfect order. Even the people's lives were very good. Within the scope of her management, one almost couldn't see the existence of slum areas.
This year, the little Princess was fourteen years old, already a genuine, universally recognized Glaze Nation First Princess...
