The traitorous boss travels through time: The princess is causing trouble again!

Chapter 117 The Butler Takes the Blame

The butler followed Lei Er in small steps. He was completely confused now because the prince and princess usually would not call him.

I have kept the palace in good order, and they are all very relieved. Why did they suddenly ask me to go to the study today?

"Waiter, do you know why the prince and princess asked me to go?"

When Lei Er heard this, his forehead was covered with black lines: "I told you not to call me Xiaoer."

The housekeeper smiled brightly: "Calling you by your original name is so familiar, but calling you by your original name is so unfamiliar?"

Lei Er snorted. The butler's smile looked particularly dazzling. He did it on purpose.

Even at this age, he still acts like an old stubborn person.

So he said unhappily: "I hope you can still laugh so happily later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the butler's mouth softened.

"Guard Lei, can you give me a hint?"

Lei Er thought for a moment and said, "I dare not say more. Anyway, you just need to nod and acknowledge whatever the prince says later."

housekeeper:"???"

Soon they arrived at the door of the study.

"Your Majesty, the butler has brought it."

Zhan Jingchen's voice came from inside: "Come in."

The butler pushed open the door of the study and saw the prince sitting at the desk, reading a book seriously, while the princess was sitting aside, eating cakes casually.

"This old servant pays respect to the prince and princess."

Zhan Jingchen nodded: "Get up."

"Thank you, my lord, my princess. I wonder why the lord asked me to come here?"

Tang Xiluo didn't say anything, but just watched the man quietly start acting to see what kind of skit he could come up with.

Zhan Jingchen asked, "Are you the one who led people to clean the Liuli Pavilion today?"

The housekeeper was surprised. The princess liked quietness and the prince also lived in the Glazed Pavilion. He also didn't like being disturbed, so there were set times for cleaning.

Cleaning once every five days is the rule set by the princess, but today is not a cleaning day.

Just as he was about to shake his head, he suddenly remembered Lei Er's advice, so he nodded stiffly: "Yes... yes."

Zhan Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Have you seen the notebook on the princess's desk?"

The butler raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He didn't even go to Liuli Pavilion today, so how would he know about the storybook?

But after all, he was selected and sent out from the palace. He was very smart and understood what it meant instantly.

Thinking about the misunderstanding last night, if I guessed correctly, the notebook should have been disposed of by the prince. Now that the princess wants to find the notebook, I have become the one to take the blame.

He felt like crying but had no tears. No wonder Lei Er had just said that he wished he could laugh. He really couldn't laugh.

“I’ve… I’ve seen it.”

Tang Xiluo was amused. How dare this bastard man let the old man take the blame?

"Oh? Then where is the storybook now? I want to continue reading the ending."

Zhan Jingchen's face darkened. She still wanted to read it? What was so good about this kind of book? It was useless and the content was all unreasonable.

The butler choked and looked up at the prince anxiously, hoping to get a hint from the prince's eyes.

But there was no expression on the prince's face, and he didn't even glance at me.

In this way, he couldn't guess what the prince meant!

Since the prince has not expressed his opinion, he should just follow the princess's lead.

He knelt down again in a hurry and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I was clumsy and spilled the tea, which soaked a corner of the storybook. It is now hanging out to dry."

Tang Xiluo smiled, they are indeed the master and servant! They are working together from inside and outside, do they really think they are blind and can't see it?

Tang Xiluo helped the old butler up.

"No problem, go and give me the storybook. I just finished reading it after it's been a while. It doesn't matter if it's a little wet, as long as I can read it."

Butler: “…” Oh my God, he is so old and yet he has to suffer this.

Where could he get the book for the princess? He didn't even know what the princess was reading. If he knew, he could send someone out to buy the same one immediately.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Zhan Jingchen said, "Since you have figured out that he is not a thief, then go back to your Liuli Pavilion. I will ask the butler to send the book to you later."

Tang Xiluo originally wanted to continue to make things difficult for him and expose his lies, but when he thought about how he had helped his elder sister so much, he just went down the stairs.

"Then I'll have to trouble the housekeeper."

The housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't dare."

After Tang Xiluo left the study, the housekeeper looked at Zhan Jingchen and said, "Your Majesty?" What's next? What should we do?

Zhan Jingchen took out the notebook, his face didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, and his skin was as thick as a city wall.

"Give it to her."

The butler nodded. Fortunately, he had made a bet. If he said anything wrong, he would be finished. If he said anything wrong, not only would he be in trouble with the prince, but also with the princess.

When the emperor chose him from among several old men in the palace, he was extremely happy.

They all wanted to come to the palace. The prince was wise, and although he had a bad reputation, he treated the servants in the palace very well. Who wouldn't want such a lucrative job?

He was so happy when he was chosen, but now... Hey! ~

He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he quickly took the notebook and walked out. In order to cover up his lie, he even slightly wet the corner of the book with tea.

As soon as the butler left, Zhan Jingchen asked Lei Er to get some rewards for the butler from the private treasury.

When the butler returned to the room after delivering the storybook, he saw a large pile of rewards in Lei Er's hands. These were all treasures!

"These are all gifts from the prince. The prince also asked me to tell you that I am sorry for what happened today."

The old housekeeper looked at the baby's eyes shining, and shook his head quickly: "No grievance, no grievance, it is a blessing for this old servant to be able to relieve the master's worries."

When I delivered the storybook to the princess just now, the princess also gave me a lot of rewards. Obviously, I did something wrong and wet the storybook, but the princess was not angry. Instead, she rewarded me with treasures to comfort me.

He felt that he had made the right decision to come to this palace. In the future, he would take good care of the palace for the prince and princess so that they would not have to worry about it, and he would be absolutely loyal to them.

Then, he separated out half of Lei Er.

Lei Er raised his eyebrows and didn't answer.

The butler smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Xiao Er. I think half of these rewards should be given to you."

Lei Er's mouth twitched. The person he needed help from was Guard Lei.

"I don't need it. You can take it yourself."

The butler is not a eunuch in the palace, but a small official in charge of miscellaneous affairs in the palace. So he has a family and his son is married.

But I am alone, on the edge of a knife, and may lose my life at any time while trying to complete the mission. There is no use having so much gold, silver and jewelry.

The housekeeper frowned and said, "You are already an adult, you should think about yourself. You will need money to marry and have children in the future."
