"Well, I left two days ago. My father sent all the civil and military officials to see her off. King Qin also went." King Rui said, holding her hand and walking out.
"Aren't you going to go back and pack your bags?"
"What are you packing? We'll come back in a few days. Father just doesn't want us to be quiet! Go back and respond to the situation, silence him, and then we'll come back."
"But what if you go to the morning court in the future?" Su Xiyue asked a little worriedly. After all, this is outside the city. When they go to the morning court, the city gate is closed.
"Don't worry, I have my own way."
As expected, the two of them returned to the palace quickly. As soon as Su Xiyue entered the palace, she persuaded him to go to the palace to meet the emperor, while she returned to Shuiyue Xiaozhu.
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they saw Geng Lirong and others waiting for them.
"See the princess, and welcome the princess back to the house."
Su Xiyue nodded, "Get back on your feet. Aunt Qing, please send someone to summon all the servants in this mansion to the front hall. When everyone is here, come back and report to me."
"Yes, Princess."
Su Xiyue called Nanny Xu in. Liangchen and Beautiful Views stood guard at the door. Geng Lirong seemed to glance in the direction of the bedroom before retreating.
About half an hour later, Su Xiyue was invited to the front hall and saw that there were many servants of all sizes in the yard!
Aunt Xu stood at the door, "Who is the housekeeper of the house?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two men and one woman stood up. Nanny Xu glanced at them and invited them all in.
As soon as the three of them entered, they all knelt down and said, "Give the princess a present."
"Okay. Everyone, please get up and talk about what you are in charge of so that I can have an idea."
"Princess, my servant's name is Quanfu, and he is the chief steward of this house." An old man in his forties said.
"Reporting to the princess, my servant Xiao Dezi is the steward responsible for the affairs of the prince's study." Listening to this voice, you knew that this was a chamberlain.
"Reporting to the princess, my husband's surname is Wang, and he is the steward of the backyard."
"Well, how many stewards are there in each courtyard and room below?" Su Xiyue asked.
"Back to the princess, in addition to the steward of your main courtyard, there are also the stewards of the dining room, large warehouse, laundry room, flower room, needlework room, handyman room, stables and other places. There are seven more stewards in total.
"The person who replied was the butler Quan Fu.
Su Xiyue nodded, looked at Aunt Xu, then picked up the tea cup and used it quietly.
Aunt Xu understood, took a step forward, and bowed to everyone, "I'd like to greet you all. My husband's surname is Xu. Her Royal Highness, Princess Meng, never abandons me. I call her Aunt Xu. She once served at my lady's side.
Now I am the steward of His Highness's courtyard. If I do something wrong in the future, please give me some advice."
"How dare you, how dare you!" All three of them bowed their heads and turned away! Just kidding, how could they offend the popular person next to the princess? You know, the prince is very fond of the princess now.
"The prince has entered the palace. He left a message earlier, saying that he would return to the palace to preside over the ministerial affairs after His Highness recovers. Now all these account books are in the hands of the princess. If you still have any doubts, you can
It won’t be too late to wait for the prince to come back and give orders.”
"No need! That's what Aunt Xu said!" Quan Fu said with a smile, "The prince has already explained that as long as it is after the wedding, all affairs in this house will be taken care of by the princess. If the princess has any instructions, the servants will wait.
Everything is as it should be."
Su Xiyue was stunned, but she had never heard him mention it before, so she couldn't help but ask, "When did the prince give the order? How did he say it?"
"Back to the princess, the prince told you the day before your wedding. From now on, the princess will have the final say on all matters in the palace. No matter how big or small, there is no need to ask the prince for instructions."
Su Xiyue found it a bit funny after hearing this, "Well, let the other stewards come in and respond. I have to get to know each other first, so as not to walk around this yard in the future and not recognize people when I see them."
"Yes, Princess."
After talking to the stewards of each courtyard, Su Xiyue felt that it was pretty good. At least, the attitude of the servants in the palace was still Zhou Zheng, and they probably didn't need to use the tricks to establish their authority.
However, just as Su Xiyue felt relieved, trouble came.
"Princess, the steward of the dining room and the steward of the warehouse got into a quarrel, and the commotion in the yard is about to end."
"Do you know why?"
"Back to the princess, I heard that it was for some medicinal materials. The steward of the kitchen said that the prince ordered someone to give her a recipe and asked her to make the medicinal food according to the recipe, but the big warehouse refused to put those few ingredients.
I brought the medicinal materials to her and said that the warehouse was out of stock."
"Since there is no more, just go out and buy it. Why make such a fuss?"
"Well," Grandma Wang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Back to the princess, one of them said she didn't have it, and the other insisted that she did, and that's when the dispute started."
Su Xiyue didn't say anything after hearing this, but Nanny Xu next to her listened, with a smile on her originally serious face, "Princess, you see, the rules in this mansion are nothing more than this! The rules in this grand palace are nothing more than this.
My servant, we got into a dispute over some medicinal herbs and spread the word. Not only did you lose your face, but also the face of the prince and the royal family! You were also the head of the Houfu before. When did this happen?
thing?"
Aunt Qing also shook her head and said, "Mother Xu is right. There is such an unruly servant in the palace. Your Highness, according to the rules, you have to beat the person first and then send him out."
"
The two of them sang and harmonized. This time, Grandma Wang felt that her face was filled with embarrassment! The two of them were clearly secretly laughing at themselves, the incompetent stewards of the backyard! Sweat had begun to form on their foreheads! Originally, they were just thinking about it.
This incident was used to explore the depth of the princess, but who would have imagined that she would end up like this? What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? Now, she finally understood!
But, this is not bad!
Su Xiyue cleared her throat and said, "Aunt Wang, right? You have to report such trivial matters to the prince one by one before?"
"Don't dare! Your Majesty has so many things to do, how can he have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter?"
"Aunt Wang means that I am very free now?"
"I don't dare! I have absolutely no intention of doing this." Grandma Wang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. How could she have listened to the words of those two women and been fooled by them? How could she be so good now?
, I haven’t tested the depth of the princess, I’m afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to myself.
"Since Grandma Wang reported this matter to me, I can't just sit back and ignore it."
"Yes." When Grandma Wang heard this, she felt a little better. As long as the princess was willing to take care of it, it wouldn't be too bad. At least, the princess could come and ask about the matter in person. This time, they
Even if the effort is not in vain!
However, Su Xiyue's next words made Grandma Wang change her face, her body trembled unsatisfactorily, and she almost fell to the ground!
