All the way back, the sun was slowly falling down the mountain, dyeing a large area of red clouds, and the people in the palace had already lit the lamp, and it was brightly lit, and even the corners were like daylight, Lan Yi frowned first when he saw this situation.

It's just that she didn't say much, as Wei Changjue entered the house, the aroma of the food came to her face, and the dinner was set up on a table in different sizes of plates, with all kinds of delicacies, showing full wealth. Lan Yi was very worried about a meal, although Wei Changjue had been taking care of her, and the cloth dishes were all done by himself, but he didn't bring back her thoughts.

Wei Changjue knew that some problems in the palace had been discovered by Lan Yi, and he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that in front of his subordinates, he would behave like the princess who was not very good at managing the family, so he still held back after all, and wanted to wait for Lan Yi to give her ideas when she needed it.

After the meal, the housekeeper came over and asked if it was too late, and if she would wait until tomorrow to let the people in the house come to visit.

Lan Yi said: "It's not too late, according to the rules, let them come." ”

So in the courtyard outside the main house, under the bright candle light, the servants who were waiting were all called together and let Lan Yi know them one by one.

The roster is in his hand, the candlelight is burning in full swing, he can see his face clearly when he raises his eyes, it is easy to match the name, the housekeeper of this inner house is an elderly grandmother in the palace, surnamed Wan, slightly fat, with a little meat on his face, and he is quite steady in his actions, but when he speaks, he has always been alienated and proud.

"The slave and maid help the princess and the housekeeper, if there is anything inconsiderate, the princess, please give me more advice, don't leave a little thin face just because the slave and maid are sent by the palace. Fortunately, these people in the palace are already familiar with the slaves and maids, and the things ordered by the princess, if there are slaves and maids, they will definitely do it properly for you. ”

Lan Yi smiled and said: "I have a lot of respect for an old man like Mama, if there are so many things in the palace, it may not be easy to get started, I have to ask Mama for advice." ”

Mama Wan tilted her face slightly, her eyelids drooped, and she looked like she was self-contained, "The princess is young, and it is very normal to have something that she can't take care of, and the slave and maid will definitely assist the princess in taking care of the affairs of the house. ”

Lan Yi clearly knows that these people have a background, except for some who are honest and loyal, to her, the main mother, all of them are yang and yin, if you don't get off Ma Wei today, in the future, this house will be the same as a sieve, and everything will depend on your face, so she lowered her eyebrows and smiled, picked up the tea cup on the side and blew it in her hand, and drank it before slowly speaking.

"Speaking of which, there is something now, I want to ask Mama."

Mama Wan said, "Princess, please speak." ”

"Nowadays, the saint is diligent and loves the people, benevolent and thrifty, and when he is in the palace, he often warns the people around him not to waste and squander, so when the concubine Niangniang is in charge of the six palaces, she also knows the sacred heart, and she is very frugal and diligent, these things, but are they true?"

Mama Wan heard about the things in the palace, and knew that her princess was just the daughter of a five-grade official in the past, and there was no chance to walk in the forbidden palace, and she really had to ask someone like her to know, so she was a little arrogant first, and naturally brought some when she replied, "This is natural, the slave and maid are serving in the palace, that is to see the frugality of the saint and the concubine Niangniang, the princess doesn't know the hard work of governing the country, the war over there, the big and small matters, all need a lot of silver, it is the saint such a Ming Jun, and there is such a virtuous help as the concubine Niangniang, Only then can the treasury be full, not afraid of foreign enemies. ”

Lan Yi smiled faintly, closed the lid on the teacup in his hand, and said gently: "Since Mama Wan knows that the holy will is like this, why would she let the silver in our house fall from the sky and use it like flowing water?" Does Mama think that the money allocated in the palace is not serious money, or does she think that the queen's love for her juniors should be so ruined? If this matter is further down, it means that Mama can't wait to violate the Sacred Heart and turn back so that the upper authorities can cure a crime in our house. ”

A big hat was buttoned down, and the other party's tone was obviously so good, but Mama Wan was a little panicked, only feeling that her knees were about to be bent, but she still didn't kneel, and only spread her hands and complained: "What is the princess talking about, the slave maid is to the entire Gong Wangfu, but she pays with her heart, for fear that the two masters have been wronged somewhere, the princess reprimands the slave and maid so much, and the slave and maid really have nowhere to say." ”

Lan Yi was not angry, and only asked lightly: "How much is the daily cost of candles in the house, has Mama Wan calculated?" The palace palace, I haven't been there, even the Qihua Palace is lively during the New Year's Festival, and the lights may not be as much as those in our house today. Besides, His Royal Highness and I just have a casual dinner, three or five home-cooked side dishes, and two people can eat enough, but there are so many dishes on the table, and there are so many dishes, how many chopsticks can be moved on each dish at the end of a meal? Have you calculated this expense? If you have calculated, have you compared it with the palace? There is a queen living in Weiyang Palace, and there is no such waste for lunch today, why, does Mama think that our little Gong Wang's Mansion has been able to cross the queen's mother? ”

Sweat oozed from Mama Wan's forehead, and finally found that Lan Yi was not easy to deal with, slowly knelt down, and bowed down and said: "This is the slave's fault, the slave and maid are also in charge of the palace for the first time, there are some places that I haven't paid attention to, and I am afraid that the masters will fall, and I am afraid that the masters will not eat well, so there will be some waste, after the princess points out, the slave and the maid must be in mind." ”

Lan Yi laughed and said softly: "Mama, please get up, you have an identity and age, how can I blame you, I heard Mama say that it is the first time to manage such a big place, I understand, it turns out that Mama and I are the same, both are groping and doing, I said this earlier, I must not ask Mama like just now, what's the matter, let's discuss it, wouldn't it be much better?" ”

Mama Wan opened her mouth, and there were loopholes in everything she said, and she could be picked up by Lan Yi to take the benefits to her, so she simply replied a few words of "yes" after getting up, lowered her head, and didn't say much.

After Lan Yi finished speaking, she swept around the slaves with nervous faces, and said with a smile: "You also know that the reason why there is silver in King Gong's mansion is because the queen loves Her Royal Highness, and she has sent a lot of things she has saved over the years to help decorate, this is the heart of parents and sons, but we are younger generations, and we must also remember our father and mother, and we can't say how much to give, so what's the difference with those losers outside?" If Your Highness is reprimanded for such a thing, I can't spare you first, isn't that reasonable? ”

It is said that this princess is good-looking and generous, and she speaks so slowly and gently, which is completely different from the rumors outside that she is arrogant and domineering, these slaves should be happy, but after such a few words, Mama Wan was easily suppressed, and many people responded to it, and a cold sweat broke out behind them.

They are in charge of the affairs of the palace, and they have been staring at it since the beginning of the repair, because they are backed by Ying Guifei, and their courage is not small, and they are somewhat greedy for ink when they handle it, or they have sought other benefits, and they all think that the future housewife is brave and unscrupulous, and it is very perfunctory, but I didn't expect the other party to just sit there and not need to move, and say a few words, which makes people feel so difficult to fool.

Fortunately, when Lan Yi spoke again, he said that he was tired, and he didn't have time to look at the account book today, and after breakfast tomorrow, Mama Wan could bring other grandmothers who were in charge of the inner house over, take the account book, and report the expenses and receipts in the palace.

This was supposed to be dispersed, but Mama Wan always wanted to get back a game, so she had to take a step forward, "Princess, slave maid, there are still things to be clarified, and the two concubines outside are also waiting to come over to meet the master." ”

Lan Yi then remembered that before the prince in the palace married a concubine, the Internal Affairs Office would arrange one or two palace maids to serve and know the personnel, and the two who were stuffed to Wei Changjue were now followed to King Gong's mansion, and they were not even concubines, they could only be said to be concubines.

However, the concubine is also Wei Changjue's former pillow person, although she is just a slave in front of her master, but for the sake of the dignity of the palace, she will still treat them well.

Lan Yi smiled slightly, "Fortunately, Mama reminded me, since that's the case, let them in." ”

Waiting for others' kung fu, Lan Yi glanced at Wei Changjue, wanting to see what kind of attitude he had towards these two concubines, but Wei Changjue drank tea peacefully, and when he met Lan Yi's gaze, he just smiled at her calmly, with a look of "you just look at it".

After people came in, Lan Yi listened to them say their names, one name with the word "Si", one with the word "Tong", because of the status of the lowly and low, and to distinguish from other slaves, they were called "Miss Si", "Miss Tong", Lan Yi rewarded some things, and said kindly: "In the future, I will serve His Royal Highness, I must be attentive, of course, it is also a big matter to extend the heirs, if you have merit in the heirs, I will naturally help you ask for grace, there is no concubine in Prince Gong's mansion, His Royal Highness is a person who misses the old, and now there are two of you, or I am looking forward to the opportunity to bring it up." ”

Wei Changjue thought that she hadn't said such a thing, and she would have to settle accounts with Lan Yi later, but her words made the faces of the two concubines glow, and Miss Si was more lively, so she hurriedly said: "The princess is really a kind person, she is really from a scholarly family, and she is kind when she looks at it, and the concubine thank you for your compassion, and she will definitely serve you and the prince in the future." ”

Miss Tong also thanked her and saluted, and Lan Yi asked them to retreat first.

Seeing that Lan Yi was as stable as Mount Tai at a young age, no matter what status she was dealing with, she guessed that she had taught some things to say in the scene at home, and she couldn't find any flaws for a while, so it was boring to stay here, so she also bowed down and retired.

The hall finally quieted down, and Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm tired today, I have to pack up and rest early, does Your Highness stay here, or go to another room?" ”

Wei Changjue took her hand and asked with a smile: "I didn't promise to give them the position of concubine, you said so, when I don't go to their house, I don't have any heirs, so I should rely on us." ”

Lan Yi was stunned for a moment before saying, "Why don't you go to their house?" I just looked carefully, the concubine Niangniang picked someone for you, and it really worked hard, Miss Si is generous and beautiful, Miss Tong is gentle and obedient, the woman's temperament, the left is just these things, there is always a place to please you, since you have a side concubine sooner or later, it is better to bring the old people up, which can not only show that you miss the old love is not cold, but also can collect their thoughts. ”

Wei Changjue frowned, Lan Yi only thought that he was not right, and added two more sentences, "Changjue, you are a man after all, I don't know what our women think, although they are Ying Guifei's people, but after a long time, you will be able to understand, whether you can be good in the future depends on how your husband is, I still have the confidence to guide them into real family members." ”

Wei Changjue shook his head helplessly, "You don't understand what I mean, it's okay, many things are useless just to say, and they still have to be done to be convincing." ”

Lan Yi blinked, indeed a little didn't understand, and Wei Changjue had already laughed again, and leaned closer and said: "But you always have to know one thing, my mother values the eldest grandson very much, if you don't move, how can I go to someone's room?" I have to wait for you to give birth to a son, and then talk about the side concubine. ”

Lan Yi always felt that something was wrong, and she didn't realize what she said at all, she was pushed into the middle by Wei Changjue, if she wanted to give Wei Changjue a concubine for the sake of her heirs, Wei Changjue would be able to prevaricate back with these words, naturally she hadn't reacted at this moment, and heard the other party ask: "Okay, don't talk about this, I wanted to ask you before, you left a night for those in charge, if they make up for the gap, won't they be able to catch the pigtails?" ”

Lan Yi's thoughts were dragged over, and he replied casually: "Chang Jue thinks that the people in the inner house can be sent away, and there must be a process, first find out the most arrogant group of people, and make an example of the chickens and monkeys." If you stay for one night and try your best to fill in the gaps, it means that you still have some conscience, and if you are full of only thinking about how to deceive us with fake accounts, your heart can be punished. ”

Wei Changjue nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Good calculation, since you have a plan in your heart, we can sleep in peace, for the sake of the matter that you promised to give her a concubine and a side concubine, I also have to work harder, and let King Gong's mansion have a concubine first." ”

Lan Yi was a little confused, and looked at Wei Changjue for a long time before stammering: "You, you...... I just told you so many things, and that's all you have to worry about? ”

Wei Changjue was not ashamed, and as soon as he bent down, he hugged Lan Yi horizontally, with a smile between his eyebrows, "I think that as your husband, thinking about this, it is very reasonable and reasonable, let's go, wash and sleep peacefully, for your great plan, I can only do my best." ”

I don't know why Wei Changjue is so energetic when he looks at the characters like ink paintings, when Lan Yi got up on the second day, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and he couldn't help glaring at Wei Changjue a few times when he was eating breakfast, and even Ning Fu gently pushed Lan Yi twice in private, signaling her to her husband, don't be so fierce.
