The peerless and dark princess

Chapter 158 The Four Maids Get Married

After finishing the wedding arrangements for those couples, Zuo Ci and Wange finally had some free time to start choosing suitable husbands for the maids.

There is no need to say much about the couple Zhuo Li and Qing Zhu. Zhuo Li took the initiative to express his feelings and asked to marry Qing Zhu, and Qing Zhu happily agreed and willingly married him. The two of them can be said to be in love.

Speaking of Shiqi, it was truly unexpected that her final destination was Feng Lan. Normally, Shiqi, with her calm personality, should have chosen a husband who was equally stable and reliable. Unexpectedly, she chose Feng Lan, a man with sometimes unstable emotions. However, from this perspective, they could be considered a complementary couple.

Yihua's situation was even more interesting. Without a word, she had "taken down" Zuo Qi. This shocked Wange. Before she could even offer to act as a matchmaker, Yihua had already taken the initiative to inform Zuo Qi about the matter. The swiftness of her actions was truly unexpected.

As for Ah Mei, she chose Yu Ruobin, Ruoyan's brother, among the many suitors.

Afterwards, Zuo Ci and Wange carefully selected an auspicious date to arrange the marriages for the maids. They had originally considered arranging the weddings separately, but the four maids, after careful consideration, felt that it would be too time-consuming to arrange them one by one. So, after a joint discussion, they unanimously decided to marry on the same day. This way, they would not be interrupted from serving Wange and his wife, and the weddings would proceed smoothly.

Before Chu Wange could even come to her senses, Shiqi and the others had already combed their hair and returned to Wange's side, neatly dressed to continue their duties. They had never lived in the house they had originally bought outside. Seeing this, Zuo Ci and Wange allocated several courtyards near the palace and gave them to these young couples to live in.

"Shiqi, you are already married, and you still serve me all day long. If Feng Lan has any thoughts in his mind, he will definitely blame me." Wange said jokingly.

"How dare he! If it weren't for the fact that he is the prince's woman, I would not marry him." There was an unquestionable tone in Shiqi's voice.

Back then, Wange was most worried about the couple Shiqi and Feng Lan. Although Feng Lan was a skilled martial artist, her emotions were quite unstable. She had never expected that Shiqi could control Feng Lan so well. Seeing this, Wange finally felt relieved.

"I have already returned your indentures to you. Why are you still coming back to serve me? Besides, Feng Lan is not a servant. You are now the wife of a respectable family..."

Wangge remembered clearly that before marrying Zuo Ci, she had already returned the indentures of the four maids to them. But what she hadn't expected was that these people, for some unknown reason, had secretly put her indentures back into the box. If she hadn't searched for it herself that day, she probably wouldn't have found it until now.

"Princess, we have already promised to serve you for the rest of our lives. How can we break our promise so easily?" The maids responded with a firm face, their expressions full of loyalty to Wange.

"Even if you don't think about yourselves, what will happen to your children in the future?"

Chu Wange didn't really think anything of it, but in this era, the situation was very different. Selling oneself into slavery was not a glorious thing. Moreover, Zuo Qi, Feng Lan, and the others weren't servants to begin with. Their children were naturally qualified to take the imperial examinations and pursue a promising future. They couldn't let their children be negatively affected by their current choices.

"Then we'll talk about the future in the future. Anyway, I'm determined to follow you, Princess, for the rest of my life. Don't even think about getting rid of me." Shiqi's tone was full of stubbornness and determination, and it was obvious that she had made up her mind.

"Okay, okay, since you've said so, I won't force it. I've already gotten used to you serving me around, so let me burn the indenture. Even without the indenture, you'd still stay by my side and take care of me."

Chu Wange was genuinely surprised; she hadn't expected these four to be so loyal. Leaving aside Yihua, who had always stayed by the original owner's side, the other three had simply come along for the ride. She hadn't expected them to remain so loyal now, a fact that truly touched and moved her.

"Madam Chen, I want to ask, how has Lin'er been doing recently?" The person who spoke had a look of concern on her face. She frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Young Master, he studies very hard. Now, because he is appreciated by the Crown Prince, he is studying in the Shangshu Garden." As Nanny Chen spoke, a gratified smile appeared on her face, as if she was proud of Chu Haolin.

Hearing the words "Crown Prince," Chu Wange was stunned for a moment, her mind racing. It took her a while before she realized that the Crown Prince Nanny Chen was referring to was probably Chen Minzheng, the son of Crown Prince Chen Siran. The child was only six years old, almost three years younger than Chu Haolin. So, was Chu Haolin acting as the Crown Prince's study companion?

"Isn't it a bad idea for him to go to the Shangshu Garden at such a young age?" Chu Wange grew even more worried. She knew that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. Although Chen Yu was her biological father, Crown Prince Chen Siran was not her biological brother after all, and the Crown Prince was certainly not her nephew. In this complex palace environment, she was truly afraid that Chu Haolin would be harmed.

"Princess, please relax and stop worrying. With the young master's current status, who would dare to bully him?" Nanny Chen understood that Wange was worried that Chu Haolin would be bullied in the palace. But Chu Haolin's current status was truly extraordinary. He was both the brother-in-law of Prince Heng and the grandson of Prince Yan. In the palace, only a few prominent and respectable masters had a higher status than him. Apart from them, who would dare to offend the young master?

"That's true. He has been with me since he was three years old. Now he suddenly goes to study. Naturally, I am worried and can't help but worry." Chu Wange sighed slightly.

"Princess, don't worry. Qingyu and Jiang Lin are here to take care of the young master. Nothing will happen. You should consider having a child with the prince now." Nanny Chen didn't know that Wange hadn't consummated her marriage with Zuo Ci yet. She just thought that since they had been married for such a long time, they should at least be planning to have a little prince or princess to bring some joy to the palace and continue the family line.
