"Please, let me stay!"

"I can do anything …"

When Su Qingjiu returned to her seat after she had chosen her seat, something unpleasant happened again. She raised her head and looked at Qi Moxuan. Unfortunately, her face was expressionless, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Is this the prince of the prince's mansion? Su Qingjiu complained in her heart. She didn't want to interfere in the matter of the Duke's Mansion at all. Those people had no relationship with her at all, and she would do as she pleased, because that would be too easy to provoke.

"What happened?" Su Qingjiu walked over and asked.

A young man and a youth around the same age as her were tearing each other up. The youth's clothes were somewhat messy and his face was slightly yellow. He was probably the child of a poor family member.

"Who are you? "Can you make the decision?" The young man asked in a loud, angry voice.

Su Qingjiu stood up straight with a smile as her finger slightly touched the tip of her nose. This was the kind of person she liked to be unconvinced and had a temper. Such people usually lacked education.

Instead of getting angry, she smiled and asked, "Do you think I can make the decision now?"

The young man looked Su Qingjiu up and down, his every frown and smile extremely vivid, and every look in his eyes was filled with a fatal attraction. Her clothes were made of fine silk, and just from this, he could tell that her status was much higher than his.

"I, I don't know!" The young man turned his face to the side and said unconfidently.

"Ha ~" Su Qingjiu laughed softly. She didn't expect the young man to feel embarrassed. As expected, having a good set of skin would have some benefits. It was a good thing that she hadn't grown up yet. Otherwise, she would have to suffer a lot more.

Was she narcissistic?

Su Qingjiu walked in a circle around the young man, her hands clasped behind her back as she said, "There are only so many people in the Palace of Hua-Yang, and there is only so much work to do every day. You say you can do anything. "Then, let's see who you can replace …"

Substitute? This was a huge problem. Who wants to be replaced? Forget about Prince Mo's Mansion, it could be said to be an extremely peaceful place. Compared to the other courtyards, this place was much safer.

The work could be done, but being replaced was really hard. In a short moment, the young man choked on Su Qingjiu's words, unsure of what to say.

"I, I can replace you …"

Silence, absolute silence. Su Qingjiu didn't expect the young man to say such words. It would be great if it was really like that. If he were to replace her, then she would live a carefree life in the future.

"Qi Moxuan, listen up. He said to replace me, what do you think?"

The woman's cheerful and light voice came faintly and was extremely pleasant to the ear. Qi Moxuan leaned back in his wheelchair with a smile on his face and said, "Princess, I don't think it's good at all."

"Oh …" Su Qingjiu answered in embarrassment. There were some jokes that couldn't be casually played out. She lowered her head, her pure and clear eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness.

Since she had come to this foreign world, she wouldn't be able to return for a short period of time. Then she should find something interesting to do for herself, shouldn't she?

"Esteemed wangfei, this one will take him away now. I won't disturb you any longer …"

With that, the young man carried the youth and left. Su Qingjiu saw the initial unwillingness in the young man's eyes gradually turning into disappointment, as well as a kind of distress and anxiety. It seemed that the youth really needed a job.

"Wait, what's your name?"

"In reply to wangfei, this one's name is Li Er …"

Su Qingjiu didn't reply, instead, she just kept looking at the young man. Li Er let go of the youth and added, "He was called over to help out with the happy occasion yesterday. He came again today. I'll take him with me."

"I'll give you a chance. If you beg me, I'll let you stay behind!" Su Qingjiu said proudly, arms crossed, "Look, they don't welcome you." Only I can give you a job here. "

"I, I …" The youth pursed his lips.

Suddenly, the youth pushed Li Er away and knelt in front of Su Qingjiu. He clenched his fists, as if he had made a big decision, and said loudly, "Please, let me stay. "I, really need this job …"

After a short pause, Su Qingjiu stretched out her hand and said, "A good man should kneel to the heavens and to his parents. Why would you kneel to me?" If you want to stay, you can just talk with your ability. "

"At present, I need people for two things. Firstly, I want to grow some plants and vegetables in the palace. Secondly, I will give you some money. You need to double your performance and perform well within the set time limit. I can reward you!"

"There's no conflict between the two jobs. If you choose to do both, your salary will double!"

These conditions were absolutely good! Su Qingjiu narrowed her eyes and smiled. She suddenly wanted to nurture someone to make money for her. This young man in front of her, just treat it as training for her. She came to take a look at this ancient market.

"Steward, come here, I have something to tell you!"

Su Qingjiu turned her face to the side. She clearly saw that the first reaction of the butler was to look at Qi Moxuan. Although the royal concubine had a name, she didn't have actual authority. However, she had no demands on power, and she did not intend to be explicit about what these people did.

Taking advantage of the young man's shock, Su Qingjiu asked again, "What's your name?"

The youth lowered his head, deliberately avoiding the probing gaze as he stammered, "This little one's only addressing an orphan. If I say it out loud, I'm afraid I'll humiliate the wangfei's ears."

Upon hearing those words, Su Qingjiu once again sized up the youth before her. She understood that there was a hidden meaning to his tone, and that his name was a form of address to her. However, when we meet in the future, she won't say 'you', right?

"My surname is Su. Since you want to follow me in the future, just call me Su You!"

The steward walked towards Su Qingjiu with a small tray. "Princess, what do you want …"

Su You? The young man raised his head. What he didn't tell Su Qingjiu was this: Actually, his name was You. Was this fate? He came to a realization.

"Here are 10 taels of silver. How long do you think you'll need to double the amount of time you spend here …" Su Qingjiu lifted the corner of her mouth.

Su You was stunned. He never expected Su Qingjiu to be so direct. However, if he wanted to stay, he had to do it.

"One, one month …" Su You replied unconfidently.

"Oh, okay." Su Qingjiu threw the silver taels directly to Su You and then took a few pieces of silver from the steward's tray. "I will pay you with these silver taels in advance. You can go back and take care of some matters.

"Since you said that you can double it in a month, I'll let you stay for a month. "This month, you have to complete the task I gave you, and you have to be there when I'm looking for you. You have to busy yourself during the rest of the time, and think about how to double this 10 silver taels …"

Su Qingjiu walked in the direction of Qi Moxuan after she said that, but she saw the butler rapidly writing something down. She asked curiously, "Housekeeper Lee, what is this?"

The steward put down his pen and said, "Since Princess has decided to keep Su You, the Prince's Mansion has proof of her decision."

"Okay." Su Qingjiu nodded, then picked up a pen. "I'll write something down. You can give it to him later …"

Su Qingjiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "He really got off easy and saved a lot of money."
