Chapter 141 Birthday Party (Part Two) (1/2)

Yun Shang was at a loss for words. She stared at them, but the two maids were not fazed. Frustrated, the Princess turned away.

Seeing that, Qian Yin giggled and approached Yun Shang, ”But you have to be vigilant, Your Highness. What if those people turned to you when they fail to deal with the Prince? There is an old saying, go after low-hanging fruit.”

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows at the words. She pretended anger, ”Do I look like an easy target? Do I?”

Her question gave the maids yet another occasion to burst into laughter.

Prince Jing had served at the frontier for a long time. But he still had great influence in the Imperial Capital. As he had sent invitations, people flocked to pay respects to him. In no time, Prince Jing's Mansion was crowded with guests, gifts, and people asking for invitation letters.

The Prince's chamberlain was a capable man. Though he had never experienced such a situation, he was able to handle it.

Fortunately, the invitations had been carefully sent. But still, when Prince Jing's birthday arrived, for the first time in history, the Prince's Mansion was so lively.

Normally, a lady in a house would administer the internal affairs, but the Prince was not married, so his chamberlain played the role. Thus, when Yun Shang arrived at the mansion, the chamberlain hurried to her for help. After having heard the chamberlain's brief, Yun Shang was almost amused, if not angry. She cast a glance at Prince Jing, who lay idly on his bed, ”It's already late. Don't tell me you've not prepared anything yet. And I had a look along the way. There's no maid serving in your mansion. Do you really want to have male servants attend to the ladies?”

The chamberlain coughed to conceal his discomfort, ”It's all my fault. I've been too inconsiderate. After all, I've never taken care of a birthday party before, and His Highness had given his instruction in a hurry...It's hard to make a thorough plan in such a short time...”

The Prince was extremely calm. He put away his books, glanced at the angry Yun Shang, and smiled, ”But I don't need any maids. And I don't want to hire some just for today's event. It's troublesome to fire them again.”

”Why didn't you come to me earlier?” Yun Shang felt frustrated.

Prince Jing cleared his throat, ”I forgot.”
