After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 442 Unwilling to Accompany
This is not an ordinary family home.

As a prince, even if those people came to give him gifts and offer congratulations, should he just go around smiling and fawning over them?
The royal status must be remembered, and the royal dignity must be upheld.

Moreover, regardless of that, the Twelfth Prince didn't want to go to the living room and chat with those seasoned officials. After all, in the Twelfth Prince's view, these people, even if they brought gifts, were uninvited guests.

Uninvited guests are generally disliked.

If he doesn't like them anymore, why would the twelfth prince lower himself to accompany them?

If he's not going, then the eldest prince is even less likely to go.

The eldest prince also dislikes dealing with those people in officialdom. He can't help but encounter them in court on ordinary days. But this is the twelfth prince's residence, and he's here as a guest, isn't he?

Jinse didn't think too much about it; she just felt that what the twelfth prince said made sense.

But since the twelfth prince wasn't there, she hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should go and keep watch.
After all, her current status is that of a head maid in the Twelfth Prince's residence; at a time like this, she should be guarding him...

After thinking for a moment, Jinse was still worried: "Then Your Highnesses rest, this servant will go to the living room to check on you."

She turned to leave, but was stopped by the twelfth prince.

The twelfth prince said to Jinse, "Sister Jinse, you don't need to go. The living room is full of high-ranking officials. Just have Lin Yi lead some men to guard it."

Jinse was still a little hesitant.

The twelfth prince added, "Besides, they'd probably feel uncomfortable if Sister Jinse went over, so if you don't go, they definitely won't have any complaints about the manor."

She doesn't need to worry at all if she doesn't go; those people in the living room won't feel that the Twelfth Prince's residence has mistreated them.

If she goes, those people will probably have some doubts, worrying that Jinse might go to the palace and complain to the emperor about them, and they will just feel uncomfortable.

After all, although Jinse has left the palace, judging from Eunuch Yang's attitude, the Emperor still remembers her!
Unfortunately, Jinse herself hadn't considered this possibility. Therefore, she was somewhat hesitant about the twelfth prince's statement.

The eldest prince couldn't stand it anymore and snorted, "You silly girl, wouldn't it be better if you just rested? Why bother going over there to be a maid? You used to serve the Emperor; they probably won't be happy to see you."

How could they eat, drink, and laugh while being watched by people who used to serve the emperor?

There's nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

Jinse looked at the eldest prince in surprise, as if she had just realized what was going on.

Turning to look at the twelfth prince, she saw that he seemed to agree with the eldest prince's words. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "This servant understands. Then I will have Eunuch Yi bring people to serve in the living room."

She stopped going out of her way to be disliked.

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince became pleased and beckoned Jinse to sit down next to him: "That's right, come on, come sit down and have some tea and snacks. These snacks were just bought by someone I had out, they're still warm, come and try them."

Jinse felt helpless and didn't want to sit down for tea and snacks.

Although she usually had a good relationship with the twelfth prince and the first prince, she still kept her identity firmly in mind at this time and did not act too casually.

"This servant thanks Your Highness for your kindness, but I still need to go and check on the banquet hall..."

She no longer needed to worry about the guests, but she still needed to go over the banquet hall setup and other issues one more time before she could feel at ease.

However, before Jinse could finish speaking, the eldest prince grabbed her wrist and pulled her down to sit.

Before I could even sit down properly, a plate of snacks was shoved into my hand.
