Jiang Yingli had made up her mind, even if Mrs. Hou disagreed, she was persuaded by her, and finally Jiang Yingli took Yunzhu into the palace alone.

……

"Miss, the slave maid thinks, the emperor shouldn't embarrass you this time, you can relax a little, but you should be careful if you meet other people in the palace later......"

Yunzhu walked beside Jiang Yingliang, glanced at the father-in-law who was leading the way in front, and said this in a low voice.

Jiang Yingli nodded, Yun Zhu seemed to be very proficient in these things, and she also believed Yun Zhu's words, and her mood relaxed: "You are right, I believe you." ”

Sure enough, Jiang Yingli went to the imperial study, the emperor not only did not embarrass her, but rewarded a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and various precious medicinal materials, Jiang Yingli was grateful, and left with these things after saluting, and the emperor also sent a few palace maids to let them send things to the Hou Ye's mansion.

Out of the imperial study, Jiang Yingliang, who was relieved, originally thought that he would be able to leave the palace smoothly today, but who knows, leaving the imperial study and passing through the imperial garden met the imperial concubine.

Seeing the visitor, Jiang Yingli sighed in his heart, but he had to put a smile on his face and saluted the imperial concubine: "See the imperial concubine." ”

After seeing Jiang Yingliang, the imperial concubine hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her up: "Isn't this Miss Jiang?" I met in the palace today, and it was really a coincidence. ”

Jiang Yingli smiled reluctantly, and then the imperial concubine suddenly turned red, looking like she was about to cry.

Is this trying to do something?

Jiang Yingli squinted her eyes, vigilant in her heart, but looked at her with a puzzled face: "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, this is ......"

Jiang Yingli didn't finish speaking, but the doubts in his eyes were looked at by the imperial concubine, and Yunzhu looked at the imperial concubine with some vigilance.

The imperial concubine smiled, and then wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "It's not that I feel sad when I heard about the old lady, Miss Jiang also asks for condolences, if there are any difficulties in the future, you must tell this palace, and this palace will definitely help you." ”

Jiang Yingli smiled reluctantly when she heard this, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the imperial concubine's gourd, but she could only thank her: "Thank you Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the courtiers know." ”

At this moment, the imperial concubine suddenly turned her head to look at her palace maid, who understood, took out a box from the tray in the hands of the person behind her, and then handed it to Jiang Yingliang.

Yunzhu stepped forward to take it, Jiang Yingli looked at the wooden box strangely and asked, "Imperial Concubine Niangniang, what is this?" ”

The imperial concubine said with a smile: "Isn't it that you can't go to the old lady's funeral ceremony?" These are some of the intentions of this palace, and I ask Miss Jiang not to refuse. ”

Hearing her say this, although Jiang Yingli was uneasy, she could only accept it in embarrassment.

"Niangniang, it seems to be a lady concubine over there!"

Suddenly, the palace maid of the imperial concubine said this, Jiang Yingli and the imperial concubine looked over curiously, and sure enough, they found that the concubine was walking from the opposite path.

Jiang Yingli saw Concubine Shu's expression change slightly, and was about to wait for Concubine Shu to walk in and greet the other party, but who knew that when Concubine Shu passed by the two, she didn't stop, ignoring the two and going straight over......

was stunned as if he hadn't seen the two, and walked very simply.

Jiang Yingli was stunned for a while, the imperial concubine obviously didn't expect that Concubine Shu would come to such a show, and subconsciously raised her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yingli next to her.

Finding that the latter's expression was ugly, the corners of her mouth raised an arc, which quickly converged, and then said to Jiang Yingli worriedly: "Xu is that she is in a bad mood, the palace is depressed, and there are common things, Miss Jiang should not worry about her." ”

Jiang Yingli sighed, glanced at Concubine Shu's back fixedly, and then said goodbye to the imperial concubine.

When the imperial concubine saw such a good show, she had no intention of having any difficulties with Jiang Yingli again, so she let her go, and Jiang Yingli could be regarded as entering the palace without danger - if there is anything unpleasant, only this concubine's attitude has changed too much.

……

Because Mrs. Hou has been seriously ill, Jiang Yingli then completely accepted the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and the affairs of the Hou Mansion are not enough, the key is some shops in the Hou Mansion, and these things are difficult to deal with.

Now that Hou Ye is sick, the family is equivalent to having no pillars, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will fish in troubled waters, and swallowing a large amount of money at this time is a loss, so Jiang Yingli has to cheer up to prevent someone from making trouble at this juncture.

"Miss, these are the account books handed in at the bottom, the villain has already seen it, there shouldn't be any big problems."

The housekeeper of the Hou Ye's Mansion is now also called by Jiang Yingliang, and at this time he is respectfully handing over several stacks of thick account books.

Jiang Yingli nodded, and after flipping through a few books, he frowned and said: "These should be the account books of the shops in the east of the city, and there are some of them, the west and south of the city, I heard that there are many of our shops over there." ”

The housekeeper said with a smile at this time: "Before, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was afraid that Miss You would not be busy, so he sent some bookkeepers to those shops to help take over some, and now the accounts have been settled, and the subordinates have also checked, there is no problem, if Miss is not at ease, I will submit it to Miss for you to see." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yingli was slightly surprised, and then quietly flipped through the account book and asked, "Is it someone sent by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" ”

The housekeeper nodded: "That's right, it is the person sent by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has explained before, if there is anything that the young lady can't accomplish, she can go directly to him." ”

When Jiang Yingli heard this, a grateful smile appeared on his face: "It's really thanks to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, otherwise, I don't know when I will do this." ”

The butler smiled and said nothing, everything was silent.

The shops said more and more, and said less, plus with the help of the four princes, Jiang Yingli only needed to deal with a part, and he slowly got better.

"Mother, I heard from the housekeeper, this time I took over the shop so smoothly, all with the help of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I thought about whether we should hold a banquet in the mansion, and then invite His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to come over, I should be grateful for his help to our Hou Ye's Mansion during this time."

Mrs. Hou put down the teacup in her hand when she heard this, although her body recovered a little, her expression was still a little haggard, and when she heard Jiang Yingliang say this, she frowned and asked.

"I know you mean well, but now there are rumors about you and the four princes in the capital...... It's getting more and more intense, if you invite him to the house as a guest at this juncture, I'm afraid it will ...... Something is wrong, right? ”

Mrs. Hou hesitated when she said this, Jiang Yingli said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, it's just some gossip, no matter what, His Royal Highness the Four Princes are all our benefactors, we can't pretend that nothing has happened, right?" Now it is just to show an attitude, to let others know that our Hou Yefu is grateful for gratitude. ”
