Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone was very curious about the palace. Old Man Jian asked, “Big Sister, is it true that the walls of the Emperor’s residence are made of gold?”

“I heard that they have everything they need for their meals. There are more than a hundred dishes! Is that true?

Seeing everyone staring at her, Jian Qingqing burst out laughing.

“It’s not that exaggerated. The walls are made of gold. How much gold would it take to build a house? However, that palace is indeed very big. It’s much bigger than our house.”

“There aren’t more than a hundred dishes to eat. How can it be so wasteful? It’s just a little better than ours. There should be more than a dozen dishes.”

Old Man Jian and the others were immediately disappointed. So it was so normal. They had thought that the Emperor’s family was very wealthy.

Jian Dalang immediately smiled and said, “Then the two of us are not much worse than the Emperor’s family.”

Jian Qingqing’s heart moved. “Why don’t I ask His Majesty to let me bring you in for a tour?

She had originally proposed to hold a banquet for her this morning, but she rejected it. She was really not interested in living under everyone’s gaze. Instead, she felt uncomfortable, otherwise, it would be a great opportunity for her to bring her family to visit the imperial palace during the banquet.

Old Man Jian quickly rejected it. “No, no, the Emperor is busy every day. How can we disturb him? Big Sister, don’t do it!”

The word ‘busy every day’ was taught to Xiao Ye. After teaching him, there was no context for it to be used. Now that he finally found an opportunity to say it, he emphasized the word, and there was a hint of pride in his tone.

Jian Qingqing could not help but laugh. “Okay.”

After dinner, they returned to the room. Jian Qingqing sat on the chair and thought for a while before asking, “Which one of you is better at sewing? Yes, the maids looked at each other. Xiao Liu said, “Princess, my sewing is okay.”

The few of them and Xiao Hong, who had already been sent away, were all sent by the Empress to serve the Princess. Naturally, they were chosen according to the standards of the first-class palace maids by the Princess. They knew almost everything, but Xiao Liu was still the best at sewing.

Jian Qingqing nodded and said, “Alright, Xiao Liu, come over. I’ll arrange something for you.”

She had promised Princess Anning that she would bring her a gift, so she naturally could not go back on her word. Toys were scarce in this era, and there were not many interesting things to sell on the streets. After thinking about it, she might as well make one herself.

In modern times, many girls loved to play with Barbie dolls and dress them up. Princess Anning was only 12 or 13 years old. She could not resist the charm of a doll, so she wanted Xiao Liu to make a doll. It had to be delicate, with a nose, eyes, and hair.

After Xiao Liu heard Jian Qingqing’s words, she happily agreed. God knows how happy she was now. Ever since the Princess arrived, she had not ordered them to do anything and did not allow them to follow. The few of them were anxious, afraid that they would offend the Princess.

Now that they had finally received a job, Xiao Liu was simply overjoyed.

Before the doll was made, Jian Qingqing did not plan to enter the palace again.

She had just arrived in the Capital, and there were many things to do in the Princess Residence. She had to arrange everything, and there were even endless invitations for her to attend the banquet.

Jian Qingqing sighed. Why were they so free?

However, she might not have any interest in dealing with them in the future, and she was not afraid of offending others, so she rejected all of them..
