Da Qin: The First Emperor wanted to train me to be the empress

"Your Highness, wash up first. Can we wait until you wash up?"

Xue Niang's eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at the Ninth Emperor's daughter she had raised, now Princess Huazhang.

Xu Man looked at her seriously and did not insist.

Get up and walk to the bathroom.

Zhong Xia and other personal maids quickly followed.

Xue Niang sat quietly outside and waited patiently.

After ordering a stick of incense, Xu Man came out of the bathroom and felt helpless when he saw Xue Niang waiting quietly in the same sitting position as when she came in.

This eldest sister is so strict. She has told her many times to be more casual, but she just sticks to her duties as the internal affairs manager of Cuiwei Palace.

She didn't change her words after saying too much, and Xu Man didn't bother to say anything more.

He just sat in the Nuan Pavilion and let the maids twist his hair, but he kept saying: "Sister Xue'er, can you say it now?"

"His Royal Highness Huayang said that it has been a long time since he had a meal at the same table with His Highness, so someone came to ask His Highness, are you free today?"

Xue Niang did not hesitate anymore and directly stated the purpose of coming, "His Royal Highness Huayang has prepared some food in Qingya Garden. I hope you can come and have a meal with me when you are free."

"His Royal Highness Huayang also said that there is no need for her to worry about the dining hall making too much food, because she has already agreed with Yun'er Taiguan in advance that there will be fewer people to eat."

"The eldest sister has already talked about this. If I don't go, won't I not give her face?"

Xu Man smiled, "I'll go there later. Sister Xue'er, please go back to the eldest sister first."

"only."

Xue Niang agreed with a smile, but did not leave in a hurry. She said another thing: "By the way, Your Highness, our Huazhang Palace still lacks manpower."

"The main reason is that although there are many maids in the palace now, you have also opened many small departments. Every place is asking Xue'er for people. You see..."

Can you tell His Majesty and send more people?
Of course, Xue Niang would not dare to say the latter part of the sentence no matter what.

After all, it is customary for the princess to have two hundred palace servants and maids around her. If His Highness keeps asking for people here, he might be afraid of causing His Majesty's displeasure.

Xu Man saw that she stopped talking mid-sentence and knew what she was taboo about.He didn't force it, he just smiled and said: "Approximately how many people are needed? Which departments need it?"

The word "department" was actually brought out by Xu Man unintentionally when he started making trouble after his return.

At that time, more than a dozen people around her didn't understand what it meant, so she simply explained it to everyone.

That’s what everyone said after that.

"Mainly the craftsman's workshop, the papermaking workshop, the agricultural bureau, and... in short, all departments need it, including Yun'er Taiguanchen's place."

Xue Niang answered seriously, "Especially the craftsman's workshop, because there are three-piece war horse sets and the manufacture of various new appliances, which requires a large number of manpower."

"There is also a paper mill, because His Majesty has recently sent people to pick up a lot of paper, and they are really busy."

"At least 50 more people need to be added. Of course, if there are more, it will be useful."

"Okay, I see."

Xu Man agreed, "I'll talk to my father tomorrow and see if I can be given more places."

"Then Xue'er will leave first."

Seeing that His Highness had agreed, Xue Niang stood up quickly and said, "If you return to His Highness Huayang earlier, she will not think that Your Highness has no time to go there."

"Your Highness, your hair has just been washed. You have to wait for it to dry before you can go out."

Seeing Xue Niang leaving Nuange, Dong'er immediately reminded her, fearing that she would be in a hurry to see her sisters and run out before her hair was dry.

"Don't worry, I'll wait."

Xu Man was indeed not in a hurry to go to Qingya Garden. It was rare that she had time to come back early. She wanted to read a book and think carefully about what else she had not reminded her father.

I am really too tired to write anymore. I will definitely make up for it tomorrow. Please forgive me.

Good night, good night~~~Miwu~~~
