Liu Feifei still went to see the queen once in February, and the queen summoned Murong to meet her, and also called her and asked some things about Su Yan.

When the queen heard about Su Yan at her mother-in-law's house, she also wrinkled her brows, "Old Princess Ye is really confused. ”

Knowing that after Su Yan left the cabinet, there were many things in her mother-in-law's family, and it was not easy to pass her into the palace. Besides, the palace has to prepare for the draft, Chuxiu Palace has to take care of it, and it has to prepare for the bedroom of the new concubines in the near future.

Su Yan sat for a while, and Yu ordered Mama Tian to send her to the sedan chair.

Liu Feifei reluctantly sent her to the second gate.

Su Yan said: "Go to the northwest and write me a letter." On the way, let the nurse eat well, eleven is still young, and he can't be hungry. ”

She was worried that the nurse would not be able to withstand the long journey and would run out of milk.

Liu Feifei responded one by one, she liked to listen to Su Yan's chatter, and now it seems that every word is a concern, "I have already thought about it, when I am eleven or five years old, I will return to the imperial city, and I have to let him study at home." This year, the home school has just opened, and many families want to send their children here. Now there are fifteen children in the homeschool, and it is also lively to watch. ”

"You take care all the way, I'll prepare some food on the way when I go back, and let the girl bring it to you."

Liu Feifei said in a low voice: "Last time I bought land in Weizhou, I made a lot of money, and I handed over the six-room grange and shop to the third grandmother of the big house to help with it." I wanted to give it to the eldest grandmother, but she had too many things. ”

"Just settle in."

Liu Feifei said: "I really don't want to leave the imperial city and go to the northwest, but Shulin is still waiting for our mother and son over there." The second sister-in-law also said that the couple had to stay together. ”

"Be careful all the way, I'll go back first."

Liu Feifei really wanted to say a few more words, this time apart, I'm afraid it will be five years later.

Su Yan took care of such a big palace alone, it was a mansion as big as Wen Zhonghou, Wen Zhonghou's mansion was still taken care of by several wives, and Su Yan didn't even have a person to help, so she took care of it.

Left shoulder palace.

So Yeon took a bath. I changed into my usual clothes, settled down and continued to practice calligraphy.

The small matters of each room are decided by the corresponding housekeeper in charge. The woman of the chief butler is in charge of each room on behalf of the chief butler, and when there is a dispute between the houses and the house, she will make the reconciliation on her behalf. The second housekeeper is in charge of the embroidery room, the account room, the silver warehouse, the flower and wood room, and the large warehouse; Mama Qing is in charge of the miscellaneous warehouse and the big kitchen, but when it comes to the affairs of the relevant rooms, they will make up their minds for small things, discuss them with a few people, and give Su Yan a big deal.

The major event in the palace is the exit of the county lord of Qingxia.

The big things are over, and there are many trivial and miscellaneous things left.

So Yeon replaced the plaques in each room and courtyard with new ones. For example, the Mercy Star Courtyard, the Flying Snow Pavilion, and the Cherishing Moon Pavilion have also taken new names. Flying Snow Pavilion was renamed "Sanssouci Pavilion". Xiyue Pavilion was renamed "Changran Pavilion", and the Lianxing Courtyard was renamed "Moxiangyuan", and new plaques such as "embroidery room", "flower and wood room" and "account room" were written.

The people picked up the Moxiang Garden again, and cleaned up according to the Jiang family's Qingyin Xuan.

At dusk. Fu Chengyi came to ask for a meeting.

So-yeon met her in the Chinsetang.

Fu Chengyi lived in a simple house, only went to the nunnery on the first and fifteenth days of each month to worship incense, and came back every day after worshipping incense.

"The princess is busy, and the concubine doesn't dare to disturb."

Su Yan smiled gently, "If you come next time, just let me know in advance." ”

Bai Ying served refreshments and carefully held them in front of Su Yan and Fu Chengyi.

Su Yeon didn't say much when she saw her, but looking at her appearance, she also had her own thoughts. Asked: "Fu Chengyi doesn't want to go back to Weizhou for the time being?" ”

Could it be that she is going to drive herself away?

There are so many courtyards in this palace that even if they are empty, they don't want to give her a place to live?

For a while, Fu Chengyi's mind was complicated.

Su Yan said: "I didn't mean to drive you away. Now that you live in the house, what are your plans? Tell me a little bit. ”

Fu Chengyi was stunned for a while, "There are two servants, two Zhaoxun, and concubines in the Weizhou Palace...... Don't want to go to Weizhou. ”

"Be honest with me, your sincerity."

So-yeon didn't want to listen to those scenes, which seemed too fake to her.

Fu Chengyi lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't want to compete with them for favor and love, I want to live a peaceful life in this life, not to be cold and hungry, and only gave birth to a boy and a girl in two years. ”

Su Yan thought: What would happen if she was Fu Chengyi?

This assumption can be figured out in many things, "Instead of living a deceitful life in Weizhou, it is better to stay here and live a peaceful life." Although the old prince went to Weizhou, there will always be a day when he will come to the imperial city, you are waiting for him here, as long as he comes, you will have a chance.

What you want is not peace, but a stable glory. As long as you give birth to a boy and half a girl, your position will be kept, and if you give birth to the eldest son, it is also possible for him to become a side concubine. If it's a daughter, it doesn't matter, with her for the rest of your life, it will be much more down-to-earth.

went to Weizhou, wives and concubines fought, even if they were pregnant, they might not be able to give birth safely and smoothly. You are in the palace, at least I will not calculate you, and the prince will regard you as a lady of the palace. ”

Fu Chengyi looked at Su Yan in astonishment, what she was thinking, Su Yan actually knew everything, in front of Su Yan, she seemed to be transparent.

Su Yan knew that she had guessed correctly. "You're smarter than I expected."

Fu Chengyi thinks back to the past, if there was no turmoil, would she have thought deeply about her life.

The old prince accepted her into the palace as a concubine of the royal prince, and she was unexpected, at least the palace was better than the one booked earlier.

Su Yan said: "Since you have decided to live in the imperial city for a long time, are you willing to take care of the mansion for me?" ”

"I ...... May I? ”

Fu Chengyi couldn't believe it, Su Yan not only forgave her, but also asked her to help take care of the mansion.

Su Yan said: "The flower and wood room and the embroidery room are now in charge of the second housekeeper, which place do you like?" ”

The flower and wood house is a special planting of four seasons flower seedlings in the palace garden, the blooming orchids are placed in the garden in spring, the moon season is in summer, the chrysanthemum is in autumn, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom in winter......

Su Yan is an elegant person, Fu Chengyi feels that she is not suitable for the palace garden, no matter how she does it, she will learn to be elegant and noble without Su Yan.

She hesitated for a moment, "I...... Help you with the embroidery room. ”

Su Yan said: "If you have something to do, you won't be bored." In addition to making clothes for the masters in our house, there are also two silk shops in the south and west of the city. Occasionally, I will take some outside work, and the steward of the shop will ask the embroidery girls to do some private work. If a robe is paid one or two pieces of silver, the shop will get 30 percent, and the embroidery room will get 70 percent, and you will have to record the money in the account book of the embroidery room, and at the end of the month, the account will be handed over to the account room. The account office will distribute monthly silver according to the head and rank of the embroidery room. ”

She thought for a while, and the palace was not short of this money, "From this month onwards, you will give you five taels of silver in a month according to the previous example of the county lord of Qingxia." Two big girls in your house. One is a tael of silver. Your steward's mother has a tael of silver and a bunch of money. The second-class girl has eight strings of money, and the little girl has five strings of money. ”

When the eldest girl in Herong Yuan heard this, she immediately blossomed, which was more than the monthly case she received when she was in the Fu family.

Fu Chengyi's expression was faint. The heart rejoices, but tries to control it.

Su Yan said to Bai Ying on the side: "Go back to Herong Courtyard and take a look, count all the people over there, and see how much monthly money should be given to them." ”

The white warbler replied "yes".

Fu Chengyi was grateful, "Don't worry, the princess will take care of the embroidery room with her heart." ”

"You're so young, you have to have something to do, and I'm sure you can take care of it."

Fu Chengyi talked with Su Yan for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

There are not many subordinates in Herong Courtyard. A housekeeper, two big girls to marry, and two second-class girls, five people serve Fu Chengyi and one person.

Before this, Fu Chengyi took the money earned from his dowry shop to give monthly silver to his subordinates. I didn't dare to send too much, but now according to the example of the palace, the grandmothers and girls can get more money, and they are all happy, as if they are really going to have a holiday.

Su Yan ordered Bai Ying to send the housekeeper sign of the embroidery room over, and asked Bai Ying to lead Fu Chengyi to the embroidery room, telling the embroidery room manager and embroidery girls that Fu Chengyi is now taking over the management of the embroidery room.

In this way, the embroidery room is equivalent to having two stewards, one is the original steward, and the other is Fu Chengyi.

At night, the grandmothers and girls of Herong Courtyard praised Su Yan for a while, saying that this princess was originally a benevolent and generous person, and there was no shortage of praise, knowing Fu Chengyi's true intentions, she didn't rush Fu Chengyi, and was willing to let Fu Chengyi live in the mansion for a long time.

On the morning of March 18, the county lord of Qingxia and Han Shao returned to the door.

Su Yan prepared gifts early in the morning, Fu Chengyi took over the embroidery room, and Su Yan said "master of the house", and felt that she should also go and take a look. Although she is the concubine of the old prince, she is also the elder of the lord of Qingxia.

Fu Chengyi picked and chose a golden hairpin that looked good.

Mama Fu said: "The old slave feels that Chengyi doesn't have to go. The county lord of Qingxia calculated the prince and the princess like this, and the princess didn't say it, but she was afraid that there was a knot in her heart. ”

Fu Chengyi said: "I just went to take a look, and didn't talk much." ”

Mama Fu saw that she couldn't stop her, so she took a big girl to the quiet hall.

The Jingtang is the upper room, and it is the best place to receive guests.

Although the old prince is not there, this courtyard has been kept for him, and the yard has also been cleaned by a girl.

The county lord of Qingxia and Han Shao saluted, and Su Yan beckoned them to sit down.

The girl in Jingtang whispered to Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi said, "Fu Chengyi is here!" ”

Su Yan smiled, "Please let her in." ”

Fu Chengyi pulled her hair together, wore a gold tight-fitting spring dress, a pink silk ribbon around her arms, a pink embroidered brocade belt, and a pink pomegranate skirt. Maybe there was something good yesterday, but today it looks like it's full of energy.

The county lord of Qingxia looked at it and said unhappily: "What is she doing here?" ”

Fu Chengyi owes herself, "Meet the princess!" ”

"Chengyi, sit down." Su Yan greeted with a smile, "Second Prince Han, this is Fu Chengyi, the noble concubine of the old prince." ”

Han Shao got up, clenched his fists and said, "I've seen Fu Chengyi." ”

Su Yan ordered her subordinates to take two brocade boxes, "When you go back to the door today, you have to prepare a gift for the newlyweds as usual." ”

For the lord of Qingxia is a pair of Nanzhu earrings, and for Han Shao is a set of brushes supervised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a total of six, different lengths, different thicknesses, and very fine workmanship.

The gift prepared by Han Shao and his wife to Su Yan and his wife is also very good, it is a pair of very auspicious black jade dragon and phoenix pendants, which can be worn to ward off evil spirits.
