The housekeeper discovered that the relationship between the princess and the emperor's husband seemed to be better than before.

Could it be possible that the two reconciled without knowing it?

The housekeeper thought to himself that if this was the case, he should tell the third princess. After all, the third princess had said some time ago that if there was anything unusual about the affairs between the princess and her husband, she must be reported to her.

There seems to be nothing wrong with things like quarreling at the head of the bed or at the end of the bed between husband and wife.

"Steward, from today on, all affairs in the palace will be handed over to the imperial husband. You can just tutor him. If he does something wrong, you should remind him so that he will not know."

Just when the housekeeper felt that there was no need to report this matter, Chen Xi suddenly mentioned this matter, which made the housekeeper feel a sense of crisis.

All the affairs in the palace are under her control. The princess is busy with important matters and rarely pays attention to the matters in the palace. She can be said to have everything in the palace, and sometimes she even lives a more comfortable life than the princess.

If all the rights of the steward were handed over, wouldn't he become an empty shell, with only the title of steward but no real power? Wouldn't he be directly emptied out?

Thinking of this, the housekeeper lost his composure and directly spoke to persuade.

"Your Highness, the emperor has never taken over such a matter. Wouldn't it be bad to leave everything to the emperor rashly? What should I do if something goes wrong?"

Chen Xi looked at the housekeeper in confusion and asked, "Aren't you still watching? What could go wrong?"

The housekeeper was so excited by Chen Xi's reasonable tone that he almost vomited a mouthful of blood. Can the meaning of this first-in-command and the second-in-command be the same?

If she were not the housekeeper and could no longer interfere in the affairs of the house, and it was not known whether the third princess would reuse her after knowing it, her past relaxed and luxurious life would be gone forever.

Here, I saw that the concubine was not doing anything and secretly misappropriated money from the accounting room in the mansion. Although I had people make false accounts afterwards, there was no guarantee that others would not find out. If they were found out...

Thinking of the consequences, the housekeeper couldn't help but shudder.

"But......"

The housekeeper also thought about struggling for his life, but was directly interrupted by Chen Xi.

"Okay, things like housekeeping should have been left to the imperial husband. He just entered the palace before. I didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so I didn't say anything. But after so long, what else can I ask him to do?

Don’t you care?”

"If this matter spreads, you may not know what it will be like. When I entered the palace yesterday, the Queen Mother asked me, if I didn't do anything, how would you make the Queen Mother think about me?"

Chen Xi didn't want to alert the enemy yet, so the housekeeper, a spy planted by others, was still of use, so he had to comfort him when he needed to be comforted.

Putting this matter on the Queen's head, she didn't believe what the housekeeper dared to say.

Sure enough, after hearing what the Queen Chen Xi said, the butler turned off the fire.

She is just a housekeeper in the Crown Prince's Mansion. She is not allowed to refute any decision made by the Crown Prince. She is just relying on the Crown Princess's trust in her to seek benefits for herself.

If you go too far and attract the Queen's attention, it's no joke.

"Young man, I know, I will do my best to help the emperor and let him get started with all the housekeeping matters as soon as possible."

At worst, when the time comes, I deliberately hinted the emperor to go in the wrong direction, and then the princess's house is messed up by the emperor. The princess will naturally know that the emperor is not the steward, and the steward's affairs will eventually come back to

In her hands.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper felt much more balanced and had no objections to Chen Xi's arrangement.

"I will go and get the account book and the warehouse key now and give them to the emperor."

She had to cover up the false accounting as soon as possible to avoid others seeing the problem later.

The housekeeper was in a hurry to deal with the account books. Chen Xi took the opportunity to go to Gongsun Xiuyun's yard. After shooing away the servants, he spoke to Gongsun Xiuyun.

"The housekeeper is someone who has been put in by others. She won't hand over the housekeeper's affairs easily. She won't do anything on the surface, but she might not do anything secretly. You should be careful. What she says is good to you.

If you feel there is a problem, just do it; if you think there is a problem, just put it aside and don’t take it into account.”

"I think the person behind her has no intention of breaking up with me yet. Even if the housekeeper is dissatisfied, he won't do anything."

"How come there are so many informants in the Concubine's House, and they all belong to other people?"

Gongsun Xiuyun just sighed casually, which fell into Chen Xi's ears as if someone had stabbed a knife in his chest.

She also wanted to know how she could believe that her mansion was as stable and safe as an iron barrel when the original owner's mansion was riddled with holes from nails planted by others.

Is it because she feels good about herself?

“If the water is clear, there will be no fish.”

Chen Xi gave a vague explanation, "As a princess, unless you can be absolutely foolproof, it's not a bad thing to have a few more informants planted by others. You can use them to achieve your own goals when necessary."

"For example - using the spies planted by others to sow discord among the masters behind them to achieve the purpose of diversion."

"Although it is dangerous to do this, it can also make you feel more relaxed. After all, a concubine who has been tricked by someone has not noticed it so far. It is easy for the other party to think that I am an easy person to deal with, and thus to deal with it."

I developed a contemptuous mentality, and if one day we have to fight each other, this influence will be of great help to me."

"So that's it," Gongsun Xiuyun was convinced by Chen Xi's statement, "Your Highness is so smart, I didn't even think of this."

"Haha, you will know when you experience more things," Chen Xi said with an embarrassed smile.

Poor child, not only was he raised by his concubine to be as timid as a mouse, but he was also raised by his concubine to make him stupid. He believed such a statement without even questioning it. It must be too easy to deceive.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the housekeeper has brought someone over."

Just when the atmosphere between the two was good, a maid came in and said.

"Then let her come in." She could see if the housekeeper had brought everything.

"Daughter, Royal Husband."

When the housekeeper came in, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the morning light. He quickly recovered and shouted respectfully.

"Okay, bring everything here." Chen Xi said.

"yes."

The butler waved his hand and asked the servants behind him to bring everything up, and he lowered his head and rejoiced.

Fortunately, she had just thought of bringing everything together without telling the truth, otherwise, she would have been hit by the concubine's gun.

"This is the account book and the key to the warehouse...The last one is the kitchen purchase record. Your Majesty, please take a look to see if there are any omissions."

After the steward finished the introduction, he asked Gongsun Xiuyun for instructions.

“Everything is very complete and the butler’s work is really reassuring.”

After all, Chen Xi had been a queen of a country and could manage a harem, let alone a princess's palace.

No matter what the housekeeper's intentions were, she did send everything to Gongsun Xiuyun in one piece.

With both emotion and reason, he can indeed bear this praise.

"The queen praised me."

The steward said modestly.

"If you can do it, you will naturally be praised. There is no need to be modest." Chen Xi said lightly.

"Okay, now that everything has been handed over to the emperor's husband, steward, the next thing will be left to you. You must let the emperor's husband learn to be a housekeeper as soon as possible and don't hide anything."

After giving instructions to the butler, Chen Xi said to Gongsun Xiuyun, "Then I'll leave first. I still have some things to deal with. You and the butler should write carefully and don't let me down."

"Yes." Gongsun Xiuyun lowered his head and said, "I will definitely not let you down."

No matter how difficult it is, he has to give it a try. Maybe he can succeed, but there is no guarantee.

He wanted to be someone who could stand alongside her, rather than stand behind her and enjoy her protection.

In such a crisis-ridden palace, Gongsun Xiuyun felt the urge to become stronger for the first time.

He didn't want to be a burden, he wanted to be someone she could trust, a safe haven that she could stop at occasionally when she was tired.

Chen Xi didn't know about Gongsun Xiuyun's psychological changes. The reason why she made Gongsun Xiuyun the housekeeper was not only because she didn't want another person with ulterior motives to interfere with the affairs of the Princess's Mansion, but also because there would be a flower viewing banquet in the near future.

Already.

The flower appreciation banquet of the Yan Kingdom was always hosted by the royal family. The location was set in the imperial garden, and all the children of the officials were invited. The flower appreciation banquet was also a different kind of blind date banquet.

Many unmarried men and women will meet the person they like at this time. If the two families have similar family backgrounds and their parents do not object, the Queen will grant the marriage, and it will become a good story.

As for those who are already married, they just go and join in the fun, watch the beautiful couples getting married, and when they think of the good times they had, they will smile unconsciously.

She and Gongsun Xiuyun were married not long ago, and Gongsun Xiuyun should go with her because of love and reason.

The original owner in the previous life had a quarrel with Gongsun Xiuyun, so she did not take Gongsun Xiuyun with her, which led to some rumors outside, some targeting her and some targeting Gongsun Xiuyun.

If it were to happen again, she would naturally not want Gongsun Xiuyun to bear such an unwarranted charge again.

So Gongsun Xiuyun must attend with her this time, but if Gongsun Xiuyun doesn't make any changes, even if he attends with her, he will still be ridiculed by everyone.
