------Off topic------

He stood still for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door.

And the woman he fancied in his heart was born in this rich and noble court. How much glory burned people's eyes, and it also made her burn herself.

It is precisely because of this wealth that the Marquis of Zhongyong is struggling.

This kind of rich lintel is beyond the reach of many people and mansions.

Qin Zheng waved his hand when he heard this, and the man retreated, he stood in front of the door of Prince Ying's mansion, looking at the closed door of the mansion and the large hot gold plaque at the door. The four big characters of the Marquis of Zhongyong have been baptized by the years, but they are still wrinkled.

As soon as Concubine Liu walked out of the main courtyard with the key and the account book, someone handed the news to Qin Zheng, who had just arrived at the gate of the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion.

Princess Ying watched Concubine Liu leave, and the smile on her face slowly put away. Her son's things, even if the emperor doesn't give them, are his son's, and they won't go into the hands of an eldest son. Qin Hao doesn't fight, if she does, then don't blame her for being polite. She could graciously tolerate him growing up, but she wouldn't let him threaten his son.

Chunlan took Cuihe and Cuilian and followed her out of the main courtyard with the account book.

Concubine Liu immediately stood up, nodded again and again, and said a few more gossips, before taking the key and exiting Youlan Garden.

"Sister, go back! First familiarize yourself with the accounts, and if you don't understand it, come and ask me. After Princess Ying finished instructing Chunlan, she waved her hand to Concubine Liu and said with a smile.

Chunlan nodded and beckoned Cuilian and Cuihe to come in and move the account book.

"Chunlan, you take Cuilian and Cuihe to send these account books to Concubine Liu's courtyard." Prince Ying turned her head to Chunlan and ordered.

Concubine Liu looked at the large set of keys, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and took it with a slight trembling hand.

Princess Ying took out a bunch of keys from her arms and handed them to Concubine Liu, and said gently, "This is the key to the treasury in the palace." โ€

Concubine Liu looked a little dizzy, but remembering that these properties represent all the family properties of the palace, she has been in the palace for so many years, and these account books stamped with the seal of the palace are indeed undoubted, it seems that the princess is really in order to keep the property with her son and daughter-in-law.

After a while, he brought two thick stacks of ledgers.

Chunlan nodded and turned to go.

Prince Ying nodded and said to Chunlan, "Go, bring the account books of the palace industry." โ€

Concubine Liu's eyes lit up, and she instantly thought of the countless benefits of temporarily taking care of the industry, and she no longer cared about scruples, and nodded again and again, "The princess is right, then the concubine should go." โ€

"If you can't take care of it, you can take care of the inner courtyard, and the property can be taken care of by the eldest prince. The eldest prince is smart, you can help her prepare for the big wedding in the inner courtyard, he is already familiar with the work of the household department, and he is also handy in the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he should have spare time to help you take care of it. If the eldest prince is really not available, you can ask Yimeng in his yard to help, or the young lady of Zuo Xiangfu will marry in soon. If you ask her for help in advance, you can also enhance the relationship between your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Princess Ying said with a smile.

Concubine Liu is a little frightened, after all, she is a woman in the inner house, although she learned to be in charge of the house when she was in the boudoir, but since she entered the palace for many years, she has never encountered the housework accounts, although she has been looking forward to the house for a long time, but it is only limited to the housekeeper, never thought of taking care of the property of the palace, she said, "Princess, the concubine is in charge of the huge inner courtyard of the palace, I am afraid it is already difficult, if even the industry is managed, I am afraid that it will not be able to take care of it." โ€

Prince Ying said with a smile, "Our palace has a lot of properties, and the prince is dedicated to the affairs of the court and never takes care of it, and since I entered the palace, it has been handed over to me to take care of." Now that I am out of Beijing with Zheng'er, how can I do it without anyone to take care of me? Just take care of it for now! โ€

"I'll take care of the accounts of the industries outside the house?" Concubine Liu was stunned and looked at Prince Ying.

"This is just the account in our house, and the account slave and maid of the industry outside the house haven't brought it to you yet!" Chunlan Road.

"So much?" Concubine Liu was a little dumbfounded.

After a while, Chunlan brought the account book, a thick stack, and placed it in front of Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu nodded when she heard this, and her heart jumped. For so many years, she has not touched the ledger and key in the house. Unexpectedly, now the princess handed it over easily, and sure enough, she could do anything for his son.

"The Dharma Buddha Temple is not far from Beijing, although Hua Yatou follows me and needs to prepare more, but two days are enough. I'll give you the account book first, take advantage of these two days, you first familiarize yourself with it, try your best to get started, if you don't understand anything, just come and ask me. When I leave the house and go to the Dharma Buddha Temple, I will worship the Buddha and pray for blessings, and you will have to carry the burden in our house by yourself. Prince Ying said.

"If the princess takes Miss Fanghua to the Dharma Buddha Temple with her, Miss Fanghua will have to take care of it for a few days because of her body bones, right? You are not in a hurry to give the ledger to the concubine. "Concubine Liu didn't expect Princess Ying to give her the account book now.

Chunlan nodded and walked down.

Princess Ying looked at Concubine Liu's eyebrows and couldn't hide the joy, and quietly instructed Chunlan, "Go and bring the account book." โ€

When Concubine Liu heard her ask her to ask the prince to make the decision, her heart suddenly bloomed, the prince has always been easy to speak, so naturally she is not afraid of Prince Ying and Princess Ying to settle accounts afterwards.

"It's not a big deal, and you don't have to deliberately send a message to me to make the decision, after all, it disturbs the tranquility of Buddhism." Prince Ying and Princess Ying said with a smile, "The prince is in the mansion, you can ask the prince." โ€

The depression and panic in Concubine Liu's heart completely dissipated when she heard this, and over the years, the prince had indeed been very good to their mother and son. She nodded, and her joy was a little unconcealed, "The princess is relieved, the concubine will definitely take care of the palace properly, and also handle the marriage of the eldest prince, if there is any concubine who can't do the master's thing, I will send someone to the Fafo Temple to ask you." โ€

"The prince has always loved the eldest son, you are her own mother, and the eldest prince was raised under your knees, and he didn't bring it to me to raise, but the prince also values you and the eldest son, and now you have full authority to take care of it, how can the prince have objections?" Princess Ying shook her head.

Concubine Liu was overjoyed when she heard this, "This concubine naturally thinks it is feasible, but I don't know ...... the prince's side."

Prince Ying smiled, "Then May, from the first month to May, it will be nearly half a year, although the eldest prince is a concubine, he is also the eldest son." The eldest son got married, and he married the young lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, how could he be ready in just two months? It will take four or five months. If May is enough, the pomp is bigger, and you decide. โ€

"A few days ago, I heard Hao'er say that according to the meaning of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, it seems that he hopes that the wedding date will be closer, and there will be good days in March and May, and March will be closer. But if you go out of the house to pray for a short stay at the Dharma Buddha Temple, then some things will not be able to catch up. Concubine Liu was embarrassed.

"Has the marriage between the eldest prince and Miss Lu of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion been decided? Not yet! In the past few days, I have been too busy to bother to meet with Mrs. Zuo Xiang, and the two families agreed on this matter. Prince Ying said.

"Oh, it's good if the days are shorter, but if the days are long, then Hao'er's marriage ......" Concubine Liu is worried about her son after all, although it is beneficial for her to take Qin Zheng out of the house to live, but who will handle her son's marriage.

"I don't know how long it will take, look at Hua Ya's body and bones. It may be three or five days, or it may be ten days and half a month. Maybe a little longer, I can't say. Prince Ying said.

"How long will you and the second son go?" Concubine Liu suddenly thought that as long as she took over the feed, then there was no need to reflect behind closed doors. Especially if the princess is not in the palace for some days, then she will take advantage of this time to capture the heart of the prince.

Prince Ying nodded, "Yes, yes." โ€

"Then the relationship is good, the concubine is here to thank the princess first." Concubine Liu's tired face swept away, completely relieved, and asked tentatively, "Since the princess told me like this, presumably the prince has already promised you and the second prince to go out of Beijing to live in the Dharma Buddha Temple?" โ€

"When I come back, I'll let you out for a walk." Princess Ying said with a smile.

"The temper and temperament of the second son is really embarrassing!" Concubine Liu pursed her lips and smiled, "The princess has not been out of the house for many years, so it's good that she can go out for a walk, and the concubine also wants to go out for a walk, but it's a pity that the eldest prince's marriage has to be handled, and the identity of the concubine can't go out of the house at will." โ€

"Anyway, the matter has come out, that dead boy was born with a stubborn temper, as long as it is the way he recognizes, ten cows can't pull it back. The maid is a maidservant, and she can be kept by his side as he pleases, and the concubine is going to be on the jade butterfly. He wants to give his wife a unique identity, which is not a bad thing. lest they spoil their wives in the future. I can't help it, who told me to spoil him all the time! It was up to him. โ€

"I see!" Concubine Liu suddenly smiled, "The second son is too, whose son-in-law doesn't have a concubine who warms the bed by his side?" Miss Fanghua was born in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, everyone is in the family, rich and glorious, and the etiquette family education is first-class, how can the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion raise her daughter Lifu's family is not allowed to take concubines? The second son, this is a redundant move. โ€

"When Brother Zheng asked to marry Hua girl, Yan Ming only married one daughter-in-law in his life. The wife dies and the husband follows. That stinky boy. I'm. When Princess Ying said this, she scolded a little angrily, "The oath has been said, the emperor turned around and asked her to take a concubine, and the concubine also had to carry a sedan chair to hang red silk and cover her head." Although it is different from marrying a wife, how much is it different from marrying a wife? It's nothing more than a small show. That's why he doesn't want to live or die. โ€

"Hey, I heard that the emperor wanted to give her as the second son's concubine, but the second son was not allowed. If it does, it will be natural for her to take care of the middle feed in the house. Concubine Liu sighed.

"Although she is smart and capable, she has just been in the house for a short time. I'm not familiar with the affairs of the house yet. Princess Ying shook her head, "What's more, you may not know that she offended the emperor again yesterday." Although when I was in this house, I and Brother Zheng were guarded, and we all respected her as a listening girl, but in the end, most of the people who saw the wind and steered the rudder may not be respectful in private. What's more, she is also a servant girl. This matter is given to her, and she is afraid that she will not be able to hold on. โ€

"Since I went to pray for Miss Fanghua, after all, the listening girl is the second son's close person, wouldn't it be good to go with her? Miss Fanghua will have a diaphragm in her heart. Concubine Liu said tentatively, "Isn't it okay for the princess to stay in the house and take care of the girl?" The listening girl is smart and capable, much stronger than the concubine. โ€

"Listen, it's not decided yet, after all, I'm going to pray for Hua Yatou, and I haven't made arrangements yet." Princess Ying shook her head.

"What about the listening girl?" Concubine Liu asked again.

"He's going with me! Although the Dharma Buddha Temple is not far away, it is also outside Beijing, and it is not close. Our mother's family, how can we go by ourselves? There is no man to take care of it, and it is always unsteady. Prince Ying said.

Concubine Liu was stunned, she didn't expect Princess Ying to come to her to talk about this matter, her heart suddenly fell into her stomach, and she couldn't help wondering, "What about the second son?" Can he go? โ€

"The second son is not as good as the eldest son of our house, and he is not the material for schoolwork, so after I discussed with the prince, I didn't let him go to the study. For so many years, my sister also knows that I am famous for doting on my son. Princess Ying looked at Concubine Liu with a smile and said the purpose, "Miss Fanghua of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has always been sick, and the old marquis does not believe in Buddhism, so he has never prayed for peace in front of the Buddha for Miss Fanghua. After so many years, I don't know how many good medicines I have taken, and the famous doctors have seen countless times, but they can't cure her disease. How can this continue? Now that she and Brother Zheng have a holy decree to marry, I, as a mother-in-law, always have to be closer. What the old marquis doesn't do, I can do. So, I plan to take her to stay at the Dharma Buddha Temple for a few days and pray for her. During this period of my absence, the middle feed in the house was entrusted to my sister to take care of it. โ€ใ€‚

"If the princess has anything to say, just say it! The concubine was unwell for the past two days and couldn't drink tea. Concubine Liu calmed down, sat down slowly, and quickly guessed what Princess Ying was going to say.

"Sit down! You and I sisters have been for many years, and there is nothing that can't stand it, just a cup of tea. Princess Ying smiled and waved at her.

Concubine Liu was startled and stood up, it stands to reason that she should be waiting for the princess to pour tea for the princess, although the princess has never used her to do it, but this ceremony is there. Today, she poured tea for her with her own hands, she was already flustered, how could she still sit still? The six gods said uncertainly, "Princess, what are you doing...... Don't bother the concubine, you can't stand it......"

"My sister has worked hard to serve the prince over the years, and I, the concubine, have not done as much as my sister to the prince." Prince Ying left the window, came to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Concubine Liu.

"How?" Concubine Liu raised her heart.

Princess Ying smiled and shook her head, "Yes and no." โ€

"If the princess has anything to say, just say it! The concubine must obey, are you here to discuss the wedding day of the eldest son? A qiฤ“ is up to you and the prince to decide. Concubine Liu handed out a soft card as soon as she opened her mouth, and now in her opinion, nothing is as important as his son Shunshun to marry the young lady of Zuo Xiangfu to the mansion.

Since then, she's recognized! Don't dare to do anything! At the same time, he also told Qin Hao that he only hoped that he would grow up quickly.

Eight years ago, her son was lost for two days, and after being found, her Qin Hao almost fell into the lotus pond in the mansion and lost his life.

For so many years, although Princess Ying's methods have not been used in the backyard, she has not failed to understand her methods.

Concubine Liu glanced at Prince Ying carefully, and slowly sat down on the chair below, coming here today is not as easy as coming here every day in the past years, she is a little restrained. I don't know what the princess and princess of Ying are going to do when they come to her today. Seeing that Prince Ying didn't speak, she asked tentatively, "Is it important for the princess to find a concubine?" โ€

Princess Ying slowly turned around and waved her hand to Concubine Liu, "Sister sit down!" โ€

As soon as she came in, she saw Princess Ying standing in front of the window, her back like a girl, although she was over forty years old, but her charm still existed. She secretly took a breath, how many people in the world can compare to Cui's Ermei back then? She barely squeezed out some smiles and gave a salute to Prince and Princess Ying.

Concubine Liu nodded and walked into the middle house painting hall.

Chunlan opened the curtain and said to Concubine Liu, who had a tired face, "Concubine Side, the princess is playing with flowers and plants, you can go in!" โ€

Princess Ying put away a qiฤ“ thought, and a calm voice came out, "Come in!" โ€

"Princess, Concubine Liu is here!" Chunlan came to the door and whispered inside.

For a woman who is a concubine such as the concubine in the inner courtyard, before her son becomes a child, Prince Ying is the head of the sky.

Then, naturally, we must start with his background, and his foundation is loose, that is, Concubine Liu.

Always press it, pull it out, divide it, don't be too high, be obedient.

However, even if he was not Qin Zheng's opponent, as a mother, she didn't want this eldest son to be too luxuriant and have too many needles because of the big tree in Zuo Xiangfu.

Now, his world is high, open-minded, free-spirited, and unrestrained, which makes her feel proud. Qin Hao is no longer worthy of being his opponent. She gradually understood that she secretly admired the Empress Dowager Deci's wisdom and wisdom.

That child, who will be left to his son to deal with in the future, is his growth.

Even if Qin Zheng was found eight years ago, she was so angry that she wanted to kill that child, but she still stayed sensibly.

Yes, she also left Qin Hao.

Because the Empress Dowager Deci is the mother of the country and Prince Ying is the son-in-law, she has always looked down on the proud heirs of her concubines. Therefore, she has no doubt that she is for the grandson who is born. The person she hurts more, sees the person in her eyes more, and holds it in the palm of her hand is her son, her grandson Qin Zheng.

The Empress Dowager Deci was referring to nothing more than Qin Hao, the eldest son.

Although that sentence was vague, she naturally understood it with her intelligence.

She knows his son better than anyone else, and this is what the Empress Dowager Deci mentioned to her when she was alive. If you want Brother Zheng to not be weak, don't interfere too much with and restrict the growth environment around him.

She didn't care about it before, but it was also based on wanting to train his son's own skills. There is such an outstanding eldest son in the house, for the concubine, everyone thinks it is a bad thing, but she thinks it is not necessarily a bad thing. If Qin Hao hadn't done anything to Qin Zheng eight years ago, and the guide had lost two days, and he hadn't done anything five years ago, and he was seriously injured, then now Qin Zheng is not the Qin Zheng that no one dares to mess with now.

Concubine Liu has been complacent all these years with the fact that Prince Qin Hao likes to attach importance to it, although Qin Zheng is a son-in-law, but his reputation is not good, she doesn't think much of it, thinking that except for the identity of the son-in-law on the top of her head, she is useless, and if she loses her hereditary title in the future, the future will be bleak, and she can't match her son. The people in the mansion have seen that the eldest prince has become more and more prominent for so many years, and they have been watching the wind in private. It's like two masters are offering.

Princess Ying looked at Concubine Liu through the window, her mind was clear, and she could naturally guess the reason why Concubine Liu was so haggard. Every move in the house about the head of the house and the housewife, as well as the two sons and the two side concubines, will spread like snowflakes. That day, the matter of Prince Ying having dinner with her in Luomei Ju was known to her, and she came to her to test her with more words, and she suddenly attacked her for the first time and locked her up. Just to let people see that she has not been able to control Concubine Liu for so many years, but she just disdains it.

However, after so many days, she didn't wait, and her heart gradually became a little cold.

It stands to reason that even if the princess asks her to reflect, she can't go out at most, and if the prince is willing to go, no one will dare to stop her.

has been comfortable in Prince Ying's mansion for many years, although the prince is not very good to her, he has nothing to say to Qin Hao. Mother is more precious than child, and she also enjoys the occasional gentle words of the prince. But she found that in the years before and after the year, the prince gradually changed. became unsatisfied with Qin Hao, and she didn't go to her residence.

Especially, when she saw Chunlan to invite, she didn't know what the princess was looking for her to do. I was even more nervous. This uneasiness not only comes from the princess, but also from the prince's changing attitude.

People who can't sleep well and are worried and panic day and night are most likely to make their faces haggard.

For the first time in years, she was truly panicking.

One more day of closed-door closure, one more day of unsteadyness in her heart. In particular, he hasn't even seen her son since the day he closed the door. She didn't get the slightest hint of what was going on outside.

She hadn't even seen the shadow of the prince for many days.

Not long after, Concubine Liu followed Chunlan to the main courtyard, she looked tired and sleepy, with deep marks under her eyes, a few days ago, the Prince of England was punished for reflection behind closed doors, so many years, the first time she was punished, let her deeply realize that even if he has the eldest son and an excellent son, but the person in charge of life and death in the backyard of Prince Ying's Mansion is still Prince and Princess Ying.

Princess Ying stood in front of the window and fiddled with flowers and plants, while waiting for Concubine Liu.

Hearing this, Chunlan finally understood the princess's plan, nodded suddenly, immediately put down the work in her hand, and walked out quickly.

"Alright, you stop what you're doing and go ask her over! If she is not given a chance, how can she get a loophole? How do I deal with her? Princess Ying stopped thinking and waved her hand at Chunlan.

Chunlan naturally knew best about the prince and the princess, and sighed.

Princess Ying tugged at the corners of her mouth and shook her head, "After all, the royal family and the clan are different from the inner courtyard of the ordinary minister's mansion. In the palace, above the four princes, are there still three eldest sons born in advance? The royal family and the clan attach great importance to the blood line. When I married into the house, you know the reason, we haven't had a house for three years, how can we have children? At that time, he couldn't get over the cut in his heart, and he didn't dare to touch me, and I ...... Hey, after all these years, it's also a bad fate. โ€

Chunlan nodded, and complained to Prince Ying, "For so many years, how many times have the slaves persuaded you. Although it is said that the prince's heart is empty, what about your heart? How could you ever have a heart for the prince? As the second prince said, if you used your heart to deal with the prince, he would have been tied up by you. Why is it that Concubine Liu and the eldest prince have now established a firm foothold in this palace and have a place in it? Look at it, where is there such a thing in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion? Yongkang Hou Mansion is even more not! Even the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion did not. Only the Prince of Ying's mansion has an eldest son. Now that outsiders talk about our second son, they will definitely mention the eldest son who is not in harmony with him. โ€

Princess Ying smiled when she heard this, "She has a gentle temper because she has long known that the prince's heart is empty, and no matter who it is, the women in this mansion are not satisfied." Including me. She is not seductive and competent, but also because she knows that I disdain the kind of tricks of women, and I will not allow such tricks in this house. Food and clothing, including the grace of the prince, should have her, there will definitely be her. She didn't touch the middle feed in the house, because even if she wanted to, I didn't give her a chance. โ€

Chunlan thought for a while, "She is still mild-tempered, although she is coquettish, she is not a person who is charming and competes for favor, she is bent on the prince, and the middle feed in the house never interferes, and she doesn't even touch the corners." There are no major advantages, but there are no major mistakes. โ€

"Chunlan, let me ask you, how has Concubine Liu been for so many years?" Princess Ying looked at Chunlan and asked.

Chunlan didn't quite understand, "Since the prince has a heart, you don't have to work hard to grasp it, the heart is also yours." There's no need for you to hand over the feed to Concubine Liu. โ€

Prince Ying nodded, and said expressionlessly, "In the past, I didn't fight and didn't do anything because a man was unintentional. No matter what you do, a man's unintentional is not counterproductive. But if a man has a heart, although his heart is a little late, as long as it is beneficial to Brother Zheng, I have to catch it. โ€

"You're going to use her to take care of the middle feed in the house?" Chunlan's eyes immediately widened.

Princess Ying frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "You go to the West Courtyard and invite Concubine Liu." โ€

Chunlan said while packing up her clothes, "Princess, you go out of the house to live in the Dharma Buddha Temple, who will take care of the middle feed in this house?" โ€

Prince Ying and Princess Ying began to order people to pack up their things.

After breakfast, Prince Ying went to the palace.

Chunlan looked at the two from the side, listened to the conversation between the two, and sighed happily in her heart, the prince and the princess really began to have a heart for each other. After so many years, how difficult is it? She only hopes that there will be no big changes in the future, so that peaceful days will be good.
