Chapter 494: Building the Princess’ Residence

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Fortunately, the villagers were much more obedient now. They would basically do as the village chief said.

Everyone saw that MO Ruyue’s family was busy at the moment, so it was not appropriate to chat with them. They only welcomed MO Ruyue and Gu Ying back- They were still sensible-

After the old village chief spoke, they all went home, leaving only a few who were closer to MO Ruyue.

“Sister, could it be that you bought more servants?”

“They’re dressed too well.”

Mrs. Wang came over with a pair of twins and greeted MO Ruyue warmly.

“You guys move these things into the courtyard first.”

MO Ruyue could tell that the two nannies and the eight maidservants were uncomfortable. She was at a loss, but she would not explain anything to them. Since they had chosen to follow her, they should know her true identity, so they sent them to work to ease the awkward atmosphere.

However, she really did not know how to explain it to the villagers. If she were to say that they were her servants, they were indeed dressed better than the old village chief.

Although she had the title of princess, she did not want the villagers to revere her. After she went to the capital, she yearned for the free life in the village. It was just that there were more servants.

This matter had to be explained slowly.

“It’s a long story. They will be my servants in the future.”

“Chun Hua specially take out the gift that I wanted to give to someone else.”

“Yes, Madam.”

MO Ruyue had discussed this matter with the nannies in the carriage the day before yesterday.

Although she could be called Miss, her original body was also married, and she had children who called her mother. If these maids called her Miss in front of outsiders, it would be strange. They might as well call her Madam.

The people who came back from the capital had undergone special training.

They could do well without MO Ruyues special instructions.

The gifts were placed on the table in the room.

MO Ruyue gave the things of Sister-in-law Wang, Xue Qing, Qin Qingfei, and the others on the spot.

As they unwrapped the presents, MO Ruyue told them about what happened after they went to the capital, but she did not tell them the details.

Even so, when the people present heard MO Ruyue’s words, the gifts in their hands almost fell to the ground.

“You’ve become a princess?

“Are you a relative of the royal family?”

Mrs. Wang stuttered and asked word by word.

“Well, you can say that.”

“But I don’t like the capital. I’m back, and I’m still the MO Ruyue from West River Village.”

MO Ruyue didn’t want to say it at first, but if she didn’t say it, it would be even worse if they found out through outsiders one day. It would seem like she was hiding it from them, so she might as well say it now.

As soon as MO Ruyue finished speaking, another group of people entered the village. This group was not small, at least thirty people.

MO Ruyue didn’t know what those people were doing. Gu Ying looked at the sign on the carriage and knew that they were probably from the Ministry of Works.

Two days ago, Meng Xun had just finished his work. After learning that MO Ruyue had left, he had rushed over.

He got off the carriage as soon as he arrived.

“This lowly official is late, please forgive me, Princess Ming Yue!”

It seemed that Princess and the others had just arrived home. Fortunately, he was not too late.

“There’s no need to be so polite here.”

MO Ruyue also remembered that she still had to choose the princess’s residence.

However, looking at those people in their thirties, she had a headache. Where were these people going to stay tonight?

Gu Yings military compound was already full of people, and he had just stuffed those people from the Xue family’s Bodyguard Agency in. If he wanted to squeeze these people in again, he would have to sleep five or six people in a room.

“Leave them to me.”

Gu Ying could tell what MO Ruyue was troubled about.

“Do you have any ideas?”

Could it be that he didn’t have enough bedding for these people to sleep on the floor?

“Didn’t you say that you’re coming back to open the Civil and Martial Arts Institute? When I came back just now, I saw that it was almost done. It seems that everyone has moved in.”

Upon hearing Gu Ying’s words, MO Ruyue also remembered his Civil and Military Academy. When she passed by the corner of Reliance Town on her way back, she was too busy talking to the children in the carriage to pay attention.

“Then I’ll leave it to you to arrange.”

Mrs. Wang and the others looked at MO Ruyue.

“I have a title now, so I need a corresponding house They’re here to build a house for me.”

Mrs. Wang and the others were confused. They didn’t know how to get home.

When they got home, they realized that they were carrying big and small bags.

After seeing what she was carrying, she was so frightened that she wanted to send it back immediately. However, she thought of MO Ruyue’s character and knew that she would definitely not accept it.

Sigh! He had taken advantage of her again!

Not only did Mrs. Wang seem to be listening to the heavenly book, but the Li family also seemed to be listening to the heavenly book.

They knew that MO Ruyue had been conferred the title of princess and that Gu Ying had taken the second place in the examination, but he, the second place, had actually refused to become an official!

The whole family couldn’t understand. However, it was their eldest brother’s choice, so the younger ones couldn’t question him.

Aunt Zhou didn’t care about that. Although she was also surprised, she felt that it was normal for anything to happen to MO Ruyue.

She was currently in the kitchen, concentrating on cooking delicious food for MO Ruyue and the others.

Knowing that Jiayao was the royal chef of the palace, she happily pulled her over to see her precious seasoning in the kitchen.

Jiayao didn’t know what to do at first, but she was soon attracted by Aunt Zhou’s precious seasonings.

The people from the Ministry of Works were specially here to work for MO

Ruyue. MO Ruyue knew that she could not delay it as they should have time.

She originally wanted to go to County Magistrate Wu to look at the

foundation, but Gu Ying told her that she was now a princess and could focus on the place first. After building it, she would tell Wu Xianling. County Magistrate Wu would prepare the documents and there was no need to go to him first.

Of course, MO Ruyue wouldn’t feel that she was idle when it was something that could save her a lot of effort.

Meanwhile, County Magistrate Wu had already received the notice from the higher-ups. Knowing that MO Ruyue had become a princess, he rushed over early the next morning.

After hearing this news, County Magistrate Wu was overjoyed.

Of course, he also knew that MO Ruyue was going to build a princess’s manor in Lianshan County, so he brought all the maps with him.

Now that MO Ruyue had really become a phoenix, he naturally had to handle her matters personally.

County Magistrate Wu, who had just entered West River Village, looked at the village and sighed with emotion. Regardless of whether MO Ruyue would still live in West River Village in the future, West River Village would become a treasured land from now on.

County Magistrate Wu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to MO Ruyue upon seeing her. “Greetings, Princess Ming Yue. Princess Ming Yue!” When he kowtowed the first time, he was pulled up by someone.

“County Magistrate Wu, please get up. There’s no need to be so polite.”

How could MO Ruyue allow him to do that? County Magistrate Wu was quite old, and in the past one or two years, he had been quite serious in his work. He was considered a good official.

County Magistrate Wu showed MO Ruyue the map he had brought and asked her to choose a location.

Now, the entire Lianshan County belonged to MO Ruyue, but she did not want to go to the county town of Lianshan County to build a princess’s manor.

She was most familiar with West River Village and had lived there for more than a year. She liked it quite a bit.

The chickens, ducks, and rabbits on the mountain could already be slaughtered. She was prepared to do a big job before going to the capital.

It was also impossible to build the princess’s manor deep in the mountains and forests. It could not be isolated from the world.

In the end, she chose to stay at the foot of Xihe Village and Reliance Town.

There was a relatively empty area in this area.

Although there were still some crops in this area, they were all the most barren. There were more stones than soil in the land, and the land could not make ends meet every year..
