Chapter 13: Reinforcements

accidentally got the right to be a steward, Chu Yunning was not stupid, and immediately put forward a condition: "Calculate the accounts of the palace clearly, and fill the holes in the dowry, so as not to make a mess and can't speak clearly." ”

King Xiao couldn't listen to the sarcasm, and immediately said to the big butler: "Just do what the princess wants!" ”

The big housekeeper glanced at Ye Yan'er anxiously, the accounts of this princess are all counted, how much is left after losing the princess's dowry?

Ye Yan'er had no choice but to find a reason to delay: "Lord, the accounts of the palace will still need to be sorted out in a few days, so it is better to wait for me to sort them out and then hand them over to the princess." ”

"Hmm!"

Seeing the two leave, Chu Yunning let out a long sigh.

"Why didn't the princess tear down Concubine Ye, there are a lot of princesses' dowries in Concubine Ye's house." Aunt Mao was puzzled, it was obviously a good opportunity to hit Concubine Ye.

The corners of Chu Yunning's mouth hooked into a smile: "The truth is far from being pierced by someone than when I found out. ”

She wants to see how long Ye Yan'er's hypocrisy can be pretended.

"Why didn't the prince mention Zhang Xiao'er?"

Aunt Mao was worried that she hadn't slept all night, for fear that the princess would be slandered again.

Remember the URL

"People are right under the nose of the prince, and if something happens again, where will this face go?"

So Chu Yunning was not worried at all about saying anything slandering himself from Zhang Xiao'er's mouth, this kind of gambler is the most greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will say everything when he is tortured.

At noon, King Xiao settled Ye Yan'er, summoned the housekeeper, and asked about the financial situation.

The chief housekeeper didn't dare to talk nonsense without Ye Yan'er's signal, and only gave a general meaning.

The conclusion is that Zhonggong's account is not enough to compensate.

"In the past few years, the harvest in Zhuangzi has not been good, the shop has made and lost, the money paid to the palace is also counted, and the expenses of the palace are ......."

King Xiao's brows furrowed when he heard this, he had never cared about this, but he didn't expect that the golden jade of King Xiao's Mansion would be ruined.

"Go to the king's treasury and spend 500,000 taels."

Now, he can only go through King Xiao's private accounts.

The gifts given by the palace in these years, captured on the battlefield in the early years, and the gifts given by some officials on New Year's holidays are all in his private money.

After accumulating for many years and rashly taking out so much, King Xiao felt pain, but the words had already been spoken, especially in front of Chu Yunning, he must not go back on his word.

...

"The prince is checking the accounts?" Ye Yan'er was shocked that the tea cup in her hand was not held steadily, and she sprinkled a lot of tea on her hand, and after a while, her hand was burned red, and Luzhu was busy blowing it when she saw this.

Ye Yan'er withdrew her hand impatiently, and said angrily: "It's all Chu Yunning, a slut, who is making trouble, have you found out who is helping her behind her back?" ”

She thought about it, and she didn't believe that Chu Yunning had changed so much.

Someone must have been secretly helping.

"Concubine Rest assured, the slave maid has sent someone to guard Danqiong Yuan day and night, and she will reply as soon as there is news."

Ye Yan'er was still not at ease, and asked again: "What about Zhang Xiao'er?" ”

"Concubine Fang, Zhang Xiao'er was sent by the prince to guard her, and our people really can't get in."

Luzhu tried everything he could but didn't come into contact with Zhang Xiao'er.

Ye Yan'er rubbed her head, since Chu Yunning came out, nothing went well for her, and she was blocked everywhere.

"Don't worry, concubine, the prince is still facing you."

King Xiao's love for Ye Yan'er for so many years has been obvious to everyone in the palace, and no one can shake it.

In the past, Ye Yan'er would also have no fear.

But now, Ye Yan'er didn't dare to guarantee it.

The loss of the dowry seemed to be the fault of the housekeeper for herself, but she always felt that King Xiao was compensating Chu Yunning in disguise.

And in the past two days, King Xiao looked at Chu Yunning's eyes very strangely.

"The side concubine has been a housekeeper for many years, and the whole house is our people, and it is very simple to take care of the princess."

Lu Zhu's words reminded Ye Yan'er, and Ye Yan'er had a vicious smile on her face.

"Lord Wang."

The maid outside the door asked for peace, and Ye Yan'er immediately restrained the smile on her face, tidied up her dress, and stepped forward.

When her eyes touched King Xiao's cold face, Ye Yan'er felt a touch of uneasiness in her heart, and reached out to help King Xiao's arm: "Lord Wang....."

Xiao Wang withdrew his arm and sat on the chair bypassing Ye Yan'er.

Ye Yan'er's hand fluttered into the air, she was stunned, and quickly said aggrievedly: "Lord Wang, did Yan'er do something wrong and make you angry?" ”

King Xiao had just come back from interrogating Zhang Xiao'er, and after some torture, Zhang Xiao'er confessed everything.

Zhang Xiao'er was instigated to go to Danqiong Garden, not to steal at all, but to slander Chu Yunning's innocence.

King Xiao didn't want to suspect Ye Yan'er, but all kinds of signs showed that Zhang Xiao'er was instructed by Ye Yan'er.

"Yan'er, do you know anything about Zhang Xiao'er?"

King Xiao mentioned it bluntly, staring at Ye Yan'er for a moment.

Ye Yan'er shouted wronged, and the tears in her eyes were rolling: "Lord Wang, how could Yan'er do such a foolish thing and harm the reputation of the palace?" ”

King Xiao was skeptical, could he be wrong in his suspicions?

"Lord, since the princess returned to Danqiong Garden, Yan'er has been framed again and again, often carrying trumped-up charges, Yan'er begs the prince to send Yan'er out of the palace."

Ye Yan'er had already thought of the words in her mind.

She dared to be sure that King Xiao couldn't do without herself.

Sure enough, Xiao Wang's heart immediately softened, and he kept telling himself that it must be the people around Yan'er who were not used to seeing Chu Yunning bullying Yan'er, so they took revenge on Chu Yunning privately.

Ye Yan'er cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain to make people pity, and King Xiao couldn't see her tears the most, and his cold expression immediately softened a lot.

Zhang Xiao'er's matter, King Xiao didn't mention a word again, but it seemed like a thorn in his heart.

After waiting for two days, I didn't wait for Zhang Xiaoer's results, but I heard that Zhang Xiaoer's family was all sent to Zhuangzi.

I heard that King Xiao had been resting in the study for the past two days, Chu Yunning raised his eyebrows proudly, and the goal was finally achieved.

She will let this thorn take root in King Xiao's heart.

"Princess, the big butler is here."

Chu Yunning looked out the window, and the big housekeeper came with a few people carrying two large boxes.

"Princess, this is the dowry that the prince made up for you, you have seen it."

The chief housekeeper handed the account book to Chu Yunning, and the dense account book was dazzling when he looked at it in a disorderly manner.

Chu Yunning glanced at it and hooked his lips, can he still stump himself for this little thing?

took out the abacus in front of the big butler, his fingertips roamed quickly, the abacus beads crackled, and he counted quickly.

The chief butler looked at it and couldn't help but sneer, thinking that it must be a shelf.

These ledgers were specially written by him, just to stun the princess and make her retreat.

Syllable!

Chu Yunning closed the account book: "There are still three thousand five hundred taels in total." ”

The chief butler called it impossible: "Is the princess miscalculated, this account should be just right." ”

"A box of pink pearls, a tael of silver?" Chu Yunning pointed to one of the lines: "Three Great Eastern Pearls are only worth one hundred taels, and thousand-year-old ginseng is only two hundred taels, is the big housekeeper bullying me for not knowing how to count, or is he deliberately testing me?" ”

The chief butler was stunned, these numbers were indeed modified by his own hands.

One is no more, one is not less, and it is so easy to find it in the ledger.

The big housekeeper's face was sneering: "Xu I made a mistake, the princess is good." ”

Chu Yunning picked up a cup of tea, took two sips casually, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, why don't you make up for it quickly?" ”

"Yes, yes." The chief butler couldn't help it, so he gritted his teeth and took out another 3,500 taels of silver tickets.

After getting the silver ticket, Chu Yunning was satisfied, and asked again: "Can the accounts of the palace be sorted out?" ”

The butler shook his head.

"Princess, all the ledgers are here."

As soon as Ye Yan'er came, the big butler immediately stepped forward to salute, with a flattering face, Ye Yan'er waved her hand and said a word of exemption, and when she saw two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, her face changed.

These should have belonged to her, but Chu Yunning was to blame for messing around, sooner or later, one day these would all have to be spit out by Chu Yunning!

Two large boxes, a thick stack of old accounts, some of which are even moldy.

"These are the congratulatory gifts to be prepared this month, and I invite the princess to take a look."

Ye Yan'er handed over seven or eight chapters of invitations, which recorded the birthday banquet of Chen Guogong's wife, the full moon banquet of Lord Li's grandson, and the joy of the eldest princess's grandson......

"The day after tomorrow, the eldest princess will be the one who will add the joy of her grandson, and the princess must prepare early."

The eldest princess is the emperor's aunt and the aunt of King Xiao, and her status is precious and not easy to offend.

finally has a grandson, and it must be a big deal.

This is not to be taken lightly.

Chu Yunning glanced at the girl under the corridor, she was obviously the same age as Hua and beautiful, why was she so vicious?

"What is the princess looking at?" Ye Yan'er was stared at uncomfortably, touched her cheeks, and before going out, she deliberately looked in the mirror and made up properly.

"I see that the side concubine has lost a lot of weight these days, and she must have been angry with a few slaves who are doing stupid things underneath, from now on, you can rest assured that you will hand over these things to me and recuperate with peace of mind."

Ye Yan'er's little face collapsed when she heard this, this was deliberately stimulating her.

"The princess has not attended a banquet for many years, but I hope she can make no mistakes and disgrace the palace."

Ye Yan'er panicked in her heart, didn't want to see Chu Yunning's smiling face anymore, and turned her head to leave.

Throwing away a bunch of bad debts, Chu Yunning looked at it with a big head.

"Mr. Bookkeeper......"

"Back to the princess, Mr. Accounts has taken leave these days." The chief housekeeper pretended to be embarrassed, but there was a smug look in his eyes, and he added: "There is only one person left in the account room for the time being, and I really can't spare time." ”

Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows, she didn't take leave early or late, but she took leave at this time, and she was embarrassed.

"Let Ya Po come in the afternoon, I'll pick a few people."

There are too few people in Danqiongyuan, and she just took the opportunity to stuff people.

"Princess, this is not in accordance with the rules, there are still many servants idle in the house, it is better for you to take a look at it first."

The big butler straightened his back, and his attitude gradually returned to the old one.

"Presumptuous!" Chu Yunning scolded:

"My princess needs to use you to point her fingers, Aunt Mao, palm your mouth!"

Before the big housekeeper could speak, Aunt Mao had already rushed over and slapped her twice.

"If you dare to commit any more crimes, this concubine will be the first to betray you!"

Chu Yunning was domineering, and for a while the chief butler forgot to refute, covering his face and his eyes were full of viciousness.

"Princess, I'm just doing things according to the rules, kindly remind, why do you embarrass me as a little housekeeper, just do what you want."

Within half an hour, everyone in the palace knew that the chief butler had been beaten.

The topic of the princess's being too vicious soon spread in the palace.

"Princess, these people are clearly deliberately slandering you!" Aunt Mao couldn't be angry.

Chu Yunning smiled disappreciatively: "The mouth grows on someone else's body, let her say it." ”

As long as she doesn't touch the bottom line, she can turn a blind eye.
