Jia Ke's decree was quickly sent to the current Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.
As soon as these people received the decree, they naturally burst into joy. Although Jia Ke had not given them a house that matched their status, they were already able to get along with this decree.
The most excited person among them was not the men who had received titles, but Li Zhi from the Rongguo Mansion.
Ever since Li Zhi married into the Rongguo Mansion, she has had two mothers-in-law to look after her, and various sisters and sisters-in-law below. Her husband is in poor health, and if she hadn't had a child, she doesn't know if she would have been able to persevere.
Now that Jia Ke's imperial edict has arrived, Li Zhi will be the princess in charge of the Rongguo Mansion, and the elders in the clan have moved to the palace to enjoy their blessings. Now she can be considered the master of the Rongguo Mansion.
Li Zhi originally behaved here as not fighting or grabbing, but she was very smart and knew that she would not lose anything even if she fought, so she might as well be more modest and keep a good reputation.
But things are different now. Her husband is the legitimate Prince Rong and is in charge of the Rongguo Mansion. As Princess Rong, she naturally has to support everything in the Rongguo Mansion.
There is no majestic Prince Rong's palace, but it is the sister-in-law who is in charge of the family.
Therefore, the day after Li Zhi got the title, he sent his maid to notify Wang Xifeng and asked her to prepare the account books and prepare them for handover.
Moreover, Li Zhi immediately moved their residence to Rongxi Hall, which can be regarded as a legitimate takeover of Rongguo Mansion.
Next, Li Zhi changed the name of Rongguo Mansion to Rongwang Mansion.
Originally, the brand name of Rongguo Mansion should have been changed after Jia Zheng was granted the title of King Rong. However, Jia Zheng was a low-key person. Thinking that Jia Ke was a powerful minister at the time, he didn't know how much pressure he would be under. As a father, he had no choice.
To reduce the pressure on my son, it is better to keep a low profile.
Therefore, although Jia Zheng was granted the title of Prince Rong, the name of Rongguo Mansion has not been changed, and Rongguo Mansion has not been expanded according to the scale of the royal palace.
But now, Jia Ke has legitimately become the emperor, and has made his second brother Jia Zhu the honorary king. Li Zhi feels that there is no need to keep a low profile now.
So Li Zhi recruited people the next day, and while drawing pictures of the expansion of Rongguo Mansion into Prince Rong's Mansion, he also ordered to go to the Ministry of Works to talk to them and ask them to prepare craftsmen and wood to prepare for the expansion of Rongguo Mansion.
And Jia Zhu, who had been recuperating in his room, was a little unhappy when he saw Li Zhi being so tossing. What was he doing?
For you to be the master of the house and toss around like this, isn't this leaving gossip for others? Especially when his uncle Jia She lives in the small house next to him.
If the Rongguo Mansion here were to be expanded, how could it be embarrassing for Jia Sheqing next door.
So Jia Zhu called Li Zhi into her room and wanted to talk to her carefully and ask her to calm down.
"I'm telling you, Madam, it's a bit unsightly for our newly crowned King of Honor to start such a large-scale construction project, right?"
Li Zhi glanced at Jia Zhu, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Ms. sir, don't you feel aggrieved after living these years? You were originally the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, but everyone in the Rongguo Mansion pampered Baoyu and treated you
Put it aside. Now that we can finally be the masters of our own country, how can we live a low-key life like this in the future?"
After hearing this, Jia Zhu was silent for a while. She had indeed lived a miserable life over the years. Almost all the family members in the Rongguo Mansion thought that they would not live long, so they all went out to fawn over Baoyu.
"That's it, Baoyu is still living in Rongguo Mansion, and the emperor has not arranged a house for him yet. If we start building a house now, isn't this going to drive him away?"
Li Zhi smiled after hearing this, "Who said there is no house? Isn't there an empty palace next to it? Do you really think that the current emperor wants to keep him?"
When Jia Zhu heard this, she was interested. The Prince Yan's Mansion next to it was originally intended for Jia Ke to live in, but as soon as the construction was completed, Jia Ke tried to usurp the throne and became the Nine-Five Supreme Being.
This house is naturally vacant, and Jia Ke's two children are still young and are now with their mother. If they really want to leave the palace and establish a government office, it will probably take more than ten years.
In this case, has this house really been abandoned for more than ten years? It seems that Li Zhi really said that this house was either given to Jia Ke by Jia Ke or given to Jia She.
"Then I heard that you took back the housekeeping rights of Lian's second daughter-in-law. What is the reason for this?"
"My lord, you are confused. How can our majestic Prince Rong's palace allow his brother-in-law to take care of the house? If this spreads out, it will be either public or not."
Jia Zhu nodded silently when she heard this, thinking that his daughter-in-law was really thoughtful, and since she was not in good health, she couldn't care about such mundane things. Let her do the trouble in the future. Her elder brother Jia Ke would support her.
Still, she couldn't afford to make any waves.
"Madam is right, but I am a little confused. From now on, Mrs. Lao will be responsible for everything in this family."
After Li Zhi heard this, he smiled and nodded. Jia Zhu had delegated power to her.
But Li Zhi's mind turned and he remembered one more thing, that is her child Jia Lan. Although the child is still young, Jia Zhu is not only his wife now, but also has several concubines, one of whom is now
Already pregnant.
So Li Zhi thought that before the child was born, he decided to give Jialan the title, so that the concubines would not be arrogant and have inappropriate thoughts.
"Your Highness, look at our Lan'er, have we decided to give him the title of Crown Prince?"
When Jia Zhu heard Li Zhi's words, she nodded, "I neglected this matter. In two days I will write a memorial and send it to my eldest brother, asking him to make our Lan'er the crown prince."
In fact, there is no need for Li Zhi to mention it, but Jia Zhu also knows it well. He has read the books of Confucius and Mencius for so many years, and he highly respects the way of concubine.
In Jia Zhu's heart, Jia Lan is his only heir, and the other children will have to separate and live elsewhere in the future.
Not to mention that Jia Zhu and Li Zhi were discussing the affairs of the Rong Mansion here, and in the small courtyard behind the Rongxi Hall, Wang Xifeng was there, smashing almost everything in the house.
Just because Wang Xifeng received a message from Li Zhi, asking her to hand over her power as the housekeeper of Rong Mansion.
Others don't know the situation, but Wang Xifeng is very aware that the accounts of Rongguo Mansion are in a mess. If Li Zhi wants to reconcile the accounts, then Wang Xifeng will be the unlucky one in the end.
Ping'er looked at Wang Xifeng's worries from the side and could only come up to persuade him: "Master, there is no other way now. Let's seize the time and redo the account book."
Wang Xifeng said angrily: "It's easy for you to say. It's not like you don't know the loopholes in this account for so many years. How can it be so easily filled up?"
After hearing this, Ping'er lowered her head and had nothing to say. She knew that their master had been in charge of Rongguo Mansion over the years and had gained countless benefits from the princes of Rongguo Mansion. Now if they want to balance the accounts, then
I have to make up a lot of money.
Wang Xifeng sat there, rolling her eyes, thinking that she couldn't take out the money now anyway, because her private rooms were simply not enough.
If he and Jia Zhu had a falling out because of this, he would not look good in the end. It seems that he would have to find money from other places to make up for it.
So Wang Xifeng straightened her clothes and said to Ping'er next to her: "Prepare the carriage and sedan, I want to go to the palace."
Seeing this scene, Ping'er thought that Wang Xifeng wanted to go into the palace to see the old lady, and asked the old lady to settle the matter with the ceremony, so he hurried out to prepare.
After the vehicle was ready, Wang Xifeng got into the vehicle and was escorted by the servants, maids and servants to the front of the palace.
When the imperial guards saw Jia's vehicles lined up at the door, they didn't dare to neglect them and immediately went up to inquire.
Wang Xifeng slightly raised the curtain of the sedan chair and said to the interrogating Imperial Army officer: "Go in and report to the emperor, and say that Wang Xifeng wants to see you."
The young general who marched was naturally aware of Wang Xifeng's identity, so he did not dare to neglect and reported to the eunuch on duty inside.
After getting the news, the eunuch first came out and bowed to Wang Xifeng, and then sent the young eunuch to report to Jia Ke in the Yangxin Hall.
Not long after, news came from inside, asking Wang Xifeng to go to the Yangxin Hall to pay an audience.
Wang Xifeng entered the palace, changed into a soft sedan, and accompanied by the palace maids and eunuchs, came to the Yangxin Hall and asked her maid Ping'er to wait outside, while Wang Xifeng entered the Yangxin Hall under the guidance of the eunuchs.
.
As soon as Wang Xifeng entered the Yangxin Hall, she looked up and saw Jia Ke, wearing a dragon robe, sitting seriously on the throne.
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xifeng's lips, and she went forward and said a long blessing to Jia Ke, "My concubine, Wang Xifeng, long live my emperor, long live the emperor."
Jia Ke looked at Wang Xifeng and wondered what on earth this Wang Xifeng was doing here.
"Get flat."
Wang Xifeng then stood up and stood respectfully aside.
"Did you have something to do with your visit this time?"
"If you go back to Long live, I have something I want to tell Long live."
Jia Ke was noncommittal. He knew that Wang Xifeng was not a gas-efficient lamp, so he didn't know what problems he would face this time.
Wang Xifeng received Jia Ke's silence, so she glanced up secretly, and then said, "I have a secret to tell Lord Long Live."
"Since you have something to do, let's talk about it."
Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and then slowly walked up the imperial steps. Li Deshan, who was standing next to Jia Ke, saw this situation and his eyes widened. Is Wang Xifeng brave or ignorant of etiquette?
Dare to go up to the royal level privately?
So Li Deshan hurried up and stopped Wang Xifeng, "Madam, you are being too polite."
Wang Xifeng raised his head and looked at Jia Ke, and at this time Jia Ke happened to look at Wang Xifeng, and the two people's eyes just stared at each other.
Not knowing what was going on, Jia Ke felt his heart pounding, so he waved his hand to Li Deshan next to him. Li Deshan was also a smart man and quickly stepped aside when he saw this situation.
Wang Xifeng came to Jia Ke's side in three steps and said in a soft tone in Jia Ke's ear: "Long live Lord, Princess Li wants to check Rong Guofu's previous accounts. Long live Lord, please look at me.
what to do?"
When Wang Xifeng said this, she suddenly seemed to slip and fell into Jia Ke's arms.
