Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 63 Trivia in the Palace
Yiman slept until the afternoon before waking up leisurely, getting up exhausted all over.

It's just that I punched someone hard yesterday, but my body is so uncomfortable today. I don't know when my body will return to that of an ordinary person.

"Princess, His Highness the Crown Prince sent a few books and notes."

Yiman sat in front of the dressing mirror and let others manipulate him.

"Bring it here."

Unfold the note and read the letter: Yiman, my sister, got this from outside the palace, don't let the queen mother discover it.

Yiman pursed his lips and smiled, looked at it, and saw that those books were all travel notes, strange tales, or ghost stories, which was very novel.

Presumably the prince and brother were afraid that she would be bored in the palace, so he came here on purpose.

I flipped through it roughly, and suddenly saw a thick stack of written articles sandwiched inside, opened it up, and wrote a letter: These are the ways of governing the country for my brother, and I am willing to learn from my sister.

Yiman smiled knowingly, his eyes sparkled, and he looked over.

As I watched, the pine cone came to urge me to eat without realizing it.He reluctantly told Ji Lan to put it away before going to eat.

Yiman took a sip of his tea, and remembered that traitor named Huarui in the Palace of Qingsi, "Go to Qingning Palace and tell Madam Gao that the palace servants in Fang Jieyu's palace cannot be detained forever, and they will be dispatched to the palace if they are tight-lipped." Go everywhere, if you can't use it, just drive it out of the palace."

"Yes."

"It just so happened that there were too many people in Qingsi Palace, so I selected some people and let them out of the palace together. I told Aunt Gao that winter is coming soon, and it will be difficult for the soldiers to guard the border. As a legitimate princess, I should be diligent and frugal. From now on, Qingsi Palace will reduce the number of palace people. Anyone who wants to go out of the palace, or whose hands are unclean, or who has secret affairs with other palaces, will be released."

"Yes, servant girl understands."

"Hanzhi, I don't care about the other palaces. The Qingsi Palace will reduce the palace staff by half. The remaining palace staff will receive double the salary in addition to the salary issued by the palace. I want the Qingsi Palace to give both kindness and power, and there will be no leakage."

Hanzhi nodded solemnly and went down to do it.

"Song Guo, how is Lu Bo?"

Song Guo secretly smiled, "Princess, don't worry, there is a little eunuch to take care of him. When the slaves passed by the palace today, they heard him cry loudly, it doesn't look like something happened."

"That's good. In a few days, I'd better take my brand and go to see an imperial doctor."

"Yes, the servant has remembered."

A few days later, Yiman still went to the palace at two o'clock every day. That day, the palace maids who passed by knelt down to greet her with fearful expressions. Yiman was confused and asked after returning to Qingsi Hall.

Ji Lan looked helpless, "It seems that the princess's treatment of Fang Jieyu has been spread among the people, but no one has said it openly. Yesterday, I chatted with the maids of Qingsi Palace, and they all said that now each palace has its own bureau. , everyone who sees the Qingsi Palace is extremely respectful. Thanks to the princess, the palace servants of the Qingsi Palace are now very generous, and they are both happy and scared when they see the people of the Qingsi Palace."

Yiman smiled faintly, "Where is the tenth prince? It has been a few days, and there is no news of the tenth prince crying."

"Aunt Song said, please don't worry, princess. Qingning Palace will take good care of the tenth prince and let him be trapped in Fang Jieyu's palace for life."

Yiman shook his head slightly, as long as a person is still alive, it is impossible for there to be no mistakes.The tenth prince is already sensible, and the Fang family still has a title.If one day he took advantage of the loopholes and made the trouble known to everyone, it would be the big reason for Qingning Palace and Qingsi Palace.At that time, there will be a lot of discussions about the officials and censors, inside and outside the government and the public, and the charge of imprisoning the prince will not be shaken off.

"Go and tell Aunt Gao to ask the Queen Mother to find an opportunity to ask the Emperor Father to bring the Tenth Prince to the Qingning Palace to raise him. If the Queen Mother doesn't want to see him, just keep him in the side hall, but the food and clothing expenses should not be exceeded. People’s words.”

"Yes, the servant will go here."

It's better to lock it up and keep silent than put it under your nose.Moreover, if he is adopted into the queen's lap, he will be regarded as his legitimate son.Without Fang Jieyu, the Fang family would not act rashly with the tenth prince, which could be regarded as leaving a glimmer of hope to avoid beating the dog into the back alley.

After all, it is still unclear what the emperor's new policy will be and when it will take action.

Hearing footsteps outside, he saw Lu Bo slowly walking in, smiling and saluting.

"Slaves see the princess."

Yiman glanced at his legs and said, "Why don't you rest for two more days?"

"Hey, I've asked the imperial doctor that I can go to the ground. Isn't this because I'm afraid that the princess won't be able to adapt to being away from you? And - and -"

"What else?"

Lu Bo lowered his head and mumbled, as if he didn't dare to speak.

"The slaves are going to collect the money, but they have already received all this year's money last month, so they still only need to maintain it."

Yiman sighed, and suddenly remembered this matter, although there is no need to worry about food and clothing, but since entering Qingsi Hall, money has flowed out like water.Those jewelries, rare antiques, etc. that were rewarded can no longer be sold, and in the future, they will have to give Qingsi Palace twice as much salary every month, which is really not enough to make ends meet.

"In the past two days, after I went to Qingning Palace to seek my mother, I first took a sum of maintenance expenses. But this is not a long-term solution after all. I remember that I had a closed household when I was canonized."

"Yes, the princess's fiefdom is in Jindu. There are [-] households in the fiefdom, but there are only [-] households in reality."

"Two thousand households?"

Lu Bo nodded, "Yes, I took advantage of the eldest princess's family order to ask when she came into the palace. The eldest princess was also like this when she was first granted the title. There were fictitious numbers."

Yiman sighed slightly, "Isn't the princess' family order coming to see you at the beginning of next year?"

Lu Bo bowed his head and nodded.

During the New Year, there are most places that need rewards, and there is no shortage of money.

"You go out of the palace and go to find the princess's family order in secret. First check all the joints of the account books and material books, and collect the property that should be there in the few months after this year's canonization. Don't let people know. Others Let’s wait until the next year.”

"Yes."

"By the way, has there been any movement in Zichen Palace these days?"

Lu Bo thought for a while, then shook his head, "Except for your lords, His Majesty has never sent a letter to the harem."

It seemed that the emperor had acquiesced in Fang Jieyu's death, and her guess was indeed correct.

When I walked to the study, I suddenly heard a cry outside. Yiman walked into the study, opened the window and looked outside.Hanzhi was seen cleaning up the palace people. Some palace people were unwilling to leave, but they had to leave Qingsi Palace for various reasons.

"Princess, Aunt Song sent a letter that day, saying that the Empress praised you for setting an example and being diligent and frugal."

With a sneer at the corner of Yiman's mouth, the palaces are probably both happy and complaining.I am glad that I have the opportunity to clean up all kinds of eyeliner spies openly, and complain that she, the princess, is just looking for trouble, and that they have delayed their extravagant ostentation and service for nothing.

A first snowfall, covered in silver.

Yiman was wrapped in a snow-colored and dark-patterned coat, and brought people back to the Taiwo with a book, and visited Liangdi together.

As soon as they arrived at the Tai Palace, they saw Liang Di wrapped in a thick cloak and preparing to go out with a group of people.

"Where is the royal sister-in-law going?"

Yang Suxue left the palace in a hurry, only then did she see Yiman walking towards her.

"It's the eldest princess. I got up late today. His Royal Highness allowed me to go out of the palace to visit relatives today. I haven't been back since Ningxiu was born."

Yiman nodded with a faint smile, "It's not easy to get out of the palace, so the emperor's sister-in-law should go quickly. Is there a Yulin Army escort?"

Yang Suxue stopped suddenly, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "The body is not good, and the brain is not good, so I forgot."

When a noble person in the palace travels, it is natural that he must notify the Yulin Guards in advance, set a time, and escort him carefully.If there were no guards to escort him, he might not even be able to get out of the palace gate.

Yang Suxue's aura suddenly declined, his face turned gloomy and his eyes were red with disappointment.

Hearing that women are prone to violent mood changes after giving birth, Yiman looked at Yang Suxue's face and felt worried.

Yiman stepped forward to hold her hand, said with a faint smile, "The princess has 80 permanent guards in the Habayashi Guard, why don't I go with the emperor's wife, so that we can protect the emperor's wife together, and it is considered as having guards."

Hope flashed in Yang Suxue's eyes, and then she apologized, "This will tire out the princess."

Yiman smiled lightly and patted her hand, "It just so happens that I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. I'm tired of seeing the snowy scenery in the palace, so I just happened to go out to enjoy the scenery."
