After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 440 Unbearable to Read

Jinse didn't know how to explain why she was crying.

After hesitating for a long time, she could only say, "This servant has some things to arrange. If Your Highnesses have nothing else, this servant will take her leave."

Since I don't know how to explain it, I might as well not explain it at all!
Given the Crown Prince's thought process, he might not be able to accept my explanation.

Therefore, she no longer wanted to do anything pointless.

"Hey, why did they leave again?"

Jinse left quite nimbly, but the First Prince was a little stunned and pointed in the direction she left, asking the Twelfth Prince.

What could the twelfth prince say?
He could only offer the tea as a gesture: "Elder Brother, you should just enjoy your tea."

After lunch, he was escorted out of the mansion.

The eldest prince was baffled, wondering what the twelfth prince was so angry about.

The way the twelfth brother looks now, is he angry?

The eldest prince was puzzled. He asked the twelfth prince, but the twelfth prince wouldn't tell him. The twelfth prince just kept telling the eldest prince to drink tea and eat snacks, or he would bring up some trivial topics.

Just as the eldest prince was about to get restless and go out for a stroll, Xiangzi came in to deliver a message, saying that the steward of the Imperial Household Department had arrived, and several other officials, supposedly from the Ministry of Rites, had also come to visit.

The twelfth prince remained calm, clearly having anticipated this turn of events after Eunuch Yang's visit to the mansion.

He even knew that more people would likely come knocking on his door soon.

"Understood. Arrange for the gentlemen to sit in the living room. As for the steward of the Imperial Household Department, have Jinse receive him."

Although he wasn't on duty, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were still officials of rank, and he still needed to meet them in person. As for the steward of the Imperial Household Department, he didn't care whether he met him or not, but since the other party had come to his door with the people from the Ministry of Rites, having Jinse handle the communication wouldn't be a problem.

It seems that the Imperial Household Department is quite clear about Jinse's status in the Imperial Palace.

Upon receiving the news, Jinse parted ways with the twelfth prince to meet the visitors.

When the steward of the Imperial Household Department saw Jinse, he indeed had no objections and greeted her with a smile.

"These are all things that the Imperial Household Department prepared long ago. I thought the household would definitely need them today, so I quickly brought them over with my men. Manager Jin, please take a look?"

The steward of the Imperial Household Department brought some fresh goods and items that could be used for banquets.

It is indeed quite useful for the current Twelfth Prince's residence.

After glancing at them, Jinse quickly smiled and thanked the steward of the Imperial Household Department: "These are all useful and good things that the steward sent. Even if Your Highness is busy now, I will definitely talk to Your Highness about them later."

As she spoke, Jinse stuffed a large red envelope into the hands of the steward of the Imperial Household Department: "It's just some money for tea. I'm sorry to have troubled you to bring people here. Please use this to have some tea with the steward and the eunuchs."

The red envelope was quite substantial.

The steward of the Imperial Household Department was so overwhelmed with gifts that he hesitated for a moment before accepting them: "Then I thank Steward Jin for his kindness and will gladly accept them."

After putting the large red envelope into his pocket, the steward of the Imperial Household Department, being quite perceptive, said, "I imagine Steward Jin is busy right now, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll take my leave now. Please convey my regards to His Highness the Twelfth Prince."

Jinse naturally smiled and agreed.

After seeing off the steward of the Imperial Household Department, Jinse casually asked someone about the situation with the Twelfth Prince.

Upon learning that the twelfth prince was still meeting with officials from the Ministry of Rites in the living room, he thought for a moment and then headed straight for the main kitchen.
