==Chapter 136==
When King Jin came back, Yao Niang was already asleep.
Yao Niang vaguely felt that there was someone behind her, her skin was slightly moist and cold, and she couldn’t help but shiver. But it was just for a moment, and it quickly warmed up.
She leaned back and nestled into the warm embrace. Without opening her eyes, she said: “Prince Qing is gone?”
King Jin snorted.
“Did he give you the golden seal?” Yao Niang was still thinking about this matter as she slept in a daze.
“The woman stole it.”
Hearing this, Yao Niang woke up with a start, turned around, sat up and looked at King Jin: “She took it secretly, she is really——” She was so bold.
King Jin snorted coldly and said nothing.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that he was a little unhappy, she moved closer and said, “Remember when I said you were partial? Well, I guessed wrong this time. You can punish him however you want.”
King Jin raised his eyes to look at her.
She had long hair disheveled and was wearing a water-red pajamas. The fabric was as thin as cicada wings. Through the dim yellow light, you could clearly see the jade-white bellyband underneath. He wanted to punish her in this way or that, but the second month had not yet come. King Jin calculated in his mind that it would take more than ten days.
I glanced at her silently and saw that her little face was flushed. Thinking about how she looked ugly for many days when she gave birth to her second child, it seemed that the nursing care method Dr. Liu Liang said was effective, and it was not in vain for him to endure it for many days. When I thought about it this way, I felt a lot less angry.
“It’s not because of this, but because of Lao Qi…” King Jin didn’t finish the rest of the words, showing rare hesitation and hesitation.
“What’s wrong? Could it be that he didn’t punish the concubine Han, or did the concubine Han cry and make a fuss and just let the matter go?”
So it is said that women know women’s tricks. The saying that softness can overcome strength is generally like this. No matter how proud you are of the officialdom, how powerful you are on the battlefield, how tall you are, and how dignified a man you are, you can’t escape the beauty’s tears, your coquettishness, your waist twist, and all the principles of perseverance have been forgotten.
Seeing that King Jin didn’t speak, Yao Niang was even more surprised: “Have you really just cried? This is really…”
Seeing that she cared more about others than herself, King Jin was a little dissatisfied: “Why do you care so much about other people’s affairs that you don’t want to sleep?”
“This is no one else’s business. Isn’t Prince Qing on good terms with you, and Princess Qing is good with me…”
“If you don’t sleep, let’s do something else.” With that said, King Jin stepped over.
Yao Niang repeatedly pushed him with her hand, “It hasn’t been two months yet and I’m still taking medicine.”
“Like before…”
After finishing cleaning up and lying down, King Jin looked like a satiated big cat.
Yao Niang lay in his arms, and he ran his big palm down her hair before saying: “Don’t worry about the affairs of Lao Qi’s family. The couple is arguing at the end of the bed and at the end of the bed. You don’t know what Lao Qi’s wife is feeling. I think, if you manage it well, that’s fine. If you don’t manage it well, you may not be a human being inside or outside.”
“I didn’t want to care about it.” Yao Niang muttered, and asked curiously: “Do you know anything?”
How could Prince Jin know anything? He could only guess what Prince Qing was thinking. After all, this was Prince Qing’s own private matter. How could Prince Jin, a grown man, talk about such a thing.
“Anyway, just don’t interfere. When you have free time, you can go to Prince Qing’s Mansion to talk to the seventh daughter-in-law, or she can come to the mansion to see you. As for other people’s family affairs, just don’t interfere.”
Now that King Jin had said this, Yao Niang thought that there might be some complicated matter here that she could not mediate with, so she nodded and remembered it in her heart.
*
Prince Qing came out of Prince Jin’s palace and rode back.
The horse walked very slowly, and the two guards who followed him out of the mansion could only follow behind like a turtle crawling.
Prince Qing’s mood was very complicated. He understood the meaning of Fifth Brother’s words and felt that he was handling it lightly. But after all, she didn’t make any big mistake. In fact, he understood her situation and her thoughts, because he was the same as her a long time ago.
Because his mother-in-law is a Korean, he is the only prince in the palace with blood from another race. As early as when King Qing was still young, he had heard the servants in the palace say that there were women from other tribes who could serve the Holy Emperor, but none of them could give birth to dragons. It’s not because His Majesty and that one are always at odds with each other, otherwise the seventh prince would not be born.
Prince Qing didn’t know who that person was at first, but later he found out that it was Empress De Fei, the fifth brother’s mother, who was also his former adoptive mother. In his vague memory, she was a very warm but free and easy woman.
As a child, King Qing didn’t understand what freedom and ease meant, and he didn’t understand until he grew up.
The motherless prince lived a very hard life in the palace.
Once upon a time, King Qing thought more than once that it would be great if his mother was the Concubine De. Even if Concubine De is gone, he can always live in the palace with his head held high like his fifth brother. Even though it may be hard, at least you can be honest, instead of always hearing whispers about ‘that seventh prince’…
If the fifth brother’s hard work comes from the fighting between brothers, then his hard work comes from the inconspicuous servants who make up the vast majority in the palace. No one paid attention to him, and the slaves took him for granted. The minds of those eunuchs are perverted and twisted. Because they have been groveling for a long time, having a “superior person” for them to humiliate and enjoy will give them an almost perverted pleasure.
Prince Qing still remembers that when he first went to Ganxi Fifth Institute, he often didn’t have enough to eat every day. The **** who served him would never give him food. He would eat his regular dishes and then put the cakes in the room very high. He couldn’t reach it, so he moved a chair and sat next to him to watch him reach the pastries on the cabinet.
Once, he moved a chair to rest his feet, but accidentally fell it. Someone asked me about it, and he said that he was too naughty and climbed up and down. After that, no one asked again. When his injuries healed, he still put the pastries on the cabinet that he couldn’t reach.
In the end, the **** was beaten to death by the fifth brother. At that time, the fifth brother was not a few years older than him, but he was so majestic. Later, King Qing found out why Fifth Brother was so majestic, because Fifth Brother’s mother-in-law was different from his own.
Because his mother and concubine were different, his father always regarded him as nothing. Because the mother and concubine are different, they study in the upper study room, and no one cares about whether they study well or not. Because his mother and concubine were different, even the princes who were brothers did not bully him because they had never regarded him as an opponent. Because his mother and concubine were different, few servants in the palace took him seriously.
No, no one dared to bully him and look down on him anymore, because Fifth Brother protected him.
Once upon a time, King Qing was very curious about what kind of person his mother-in-law was. After he understood some things and had people listen to what he said, he asked an old palace maid who had served his mother-in-law to come to his side. .
From the words of the old palace maid, he knew a lot about his mother and concubine. He knew that she was a very weak and kind-hearted woman, but she also had a hard life. She had experienced the pain of leaving her hometown and being scorned by others. Fortunately, he met Empress Dowager De and was able to live peacefully for so many years under her protection, and later gave birth to him.
Just like the fifth brother once protected him.
Because he has suffered like this, he can understand why Huizhen would do such a ridiculous thing. It is a subconscious behavior of a drowning person eager to grab any life-saving straw. Because he used to be eager to prove himself, to be taken seriously, and to be looked at in a different light.
She was indeed wrong, but it was ridiculous and excusable. Unfortunately, it was impossible for everyone to understand. Even the fifth brother couldn’t understand it, because the fifth brother had never suffered anything like that.
He could understand, so he subconsciously explained to her just now. Did he disappoint Brother Five? Do you think he is indecisive and his ears are too soft?
“Your Highness…”
Someone called him, and King Qing realized that he had returned to his mansion unknowingly.
He gave the reins to the servant and strode towards the house.
Having walked halfway, he realized that this was the way to the main courtyard. He stopped subconsciously, hesitated for a long time, and then returned to the study room in the front courtyard.
In the main courtyard, someone reported to Princess Qing: “Your Majesty, Your Highness has returned from Prince Jin’s Mansion and is resting in the study in the front yard.”
Princess Qing nodded and waved away the visitor.
After sitting for a while, Princess Qing stood up, asked the servants to prepare the soup she had stewed in advance, and asked the maid to hold the lantern and go to the front yard.
Prince Qing was surprised and a little at a loss for Princess Qing’s appearance. Since he left the main courtyard yesterday, he has never seen Princess Qing in person, and he always feels a little guilty.
Even now he felt guilty. Ji Rouding would be angry, and the fifth brother was a little annoyed, let alone her.
“It looks like I drank a lot of wine, so drink some soup to warm my stomach.”
After King Qing finished drinking the soup, he came to Princess Qing and said, “It tastes really good.”
Looking at the face of this young man in front of me, he is handsome, masculine, upright, and heroic, but at the same time he is also fragile and gentle.
There was a trace of discomfort and guilt on Prince Qing’s face. He hesitated and said, “Jirou, I…”
“What’s wrong?”
“I punished her lightly…” It seems that after saying this sentence, the following words are easier to say. Although she is still hesitant, it is not difficult to say: “She did such a bold thing, but I They only punished her with a grounding, and she cried a lot, saying that it was because everyone else looked down on him and Brother Sheng that she did such a thing…”
Princess Qing said softly.
As if he was afraid that she would be angry, but also seemed to realize that she might be angry, he explained in a somewhat hasty tone: “Jirou, I will not visit her again in the future. She has Brother Sheng, so that’s okay in the future. Now that I have someone to rely on, please don’t be angry with me again. Can we be good friends from now on?”
“Aren’t you afraid that because you haven’t seen her for a long time, the servants will not take her seriously and secretly make things difficult for her?” Princess Qing remembered that Concubine Han had used this excuse countless times.
“How could it be possible? The servants around her have all been replaced. No one would be so bold as to do such a thing.”
Princess Qing nodded: “Then if you think it’s good, then that’s fine.”

There is a person under Aunt Mu called Aunt Gong, who is now in charge of everything in the backyard of Prince Jin’s Mansion.
It ranges from the seasonal clothes, needles and threads of the servants, to the ordering of each hospital, the entry and exit of the warehouse, and the deployment of servants. Yao Niang followed for a few days and realized that there were only a few people in the house but so many trivial matters.
Just like in this backyard, apart from King Jin, there are only five people who can be considered masters, but there are nearly five hundred servants. Kitchens, warehouses, gardens, large courtyards and small courtyards everywhere. There are countless people who sweep, wash, watch, garden, garden, and manage kitchens and warehouses.
Take the kitchen as an example. There are more than a dozen cooks, maids, and women in charge of the job. There are also people in charge of purchasing below the kitchen, and the purchasing is divided into different categories. Some just do it. Buy it, and some will settle the bill every month after accounting.
With all these things, Yao Niang was dizzy when she first came into contact with them.
This is just the backyard, the trivial matters in the front yard are more complicated. It is said that there are dozens of stewards, big and small, in charge of the carriage and horse department, the affairs department, the palace guard office, etc. in the front yard alone.
Even if Yao Niang wants to learn, she can only learn from scratch.
Mr. Palace also knows that this mistress does not care about this, because His Highness mentioned it once before and there was no response. It is estimated that His Highness mentioned it again this time, which only brought some interest. I don’t know how long it can last. Day’s freshness. Auntie Gong had come from the palace before, so she especially didn’t understand Concubine Su’s thoughts. Any female family member of any house would be eager to keep these things in her hands, for fear of being snatched away.
Because this is power. The power of running the house is the most obvious symbol of being a mistress. With the power of running the house in hand, no one dares to ignore it. Regardless of whether you are favored or unfavored, you must keep your head down and be an honest person. Even if your favor is no longer favored one day, this is the most powerful guarantee.
So to push the power outward, Grandma Gong has only seen one like this in most of her life.
Fortunately, the mistress has enlightened herself. Little did she know that Yao Niang had taken the initiative to mention this matter, and it was just something she felt.
Like a top, it seems to have been spinning for many days. Yao Niang almost understands what the process is. Aunt Gong then said to her: “Actually, I don’t have to work so hard, and you don’t need to keep an eye on everything. If we were all like you, the ladies in each house wouldn’t have to do anything else. All you have to do is to choose people you can trust and let them act as your right-hand man, your ears and eyes, and they will take charge of each level. If something comes up, you can be responsible for the decision-making. Of course, the rules of rewards and punishments must be set first. If everything follows the rules, it will be much easier in the future.”
“Reassuring people? You are pretty good now. As for the rules, I remember you took a booklet and showed it to me. The numbers are clearly listed on it.”
Mother Gong nodded, “One more thing is that the empress must take care of the account books, keys to the various warehouses, and the keys to the various concierges.”
After that, Grandma Gong had several boxes brought over, which were filled with account books and keys everywhere. Fortunately, the key boxes here are marked on the outside, and since the Jin Palace has just settled in the capital, there are not too many account books, only ten or twenty.
Even so, Yao Niang was stunned.
After figuring out where the key was, the first thing she did was to collect the keys to warehouses A and B.
This is the entire property of Prince Jin’s Mansion, including furniture, ornaments, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, fabrics, etc., all in the Jiaku. When it was transported from Jinzhou to the capital, dozens of cars were transported, but only part of it was taken, and some bulky things were left in the palace of Jinzhou.
And the contents of these dozens of cars were all put into the warehouse. When Yao Niang heard the girls come to report, she was surprised that there was so much money in the palace. In fact, he sighed that the princess was really rich.
As for Yiku, gold, silver and other items are stored. Not only are there many precious and rare treasures, but there is also a lot of silver. In fact, the most important thing is the money. Yao Niang went to see it and was very satisfied when she came back.
Her monthly payment was only enough to cover her expenses. She looked well-dressed and well-fed, but in reality she was a pauper, with no more than a hundred taels of silver in her money box. It would be okay if she didn’t look at it. Every time she looked at the money box, she felt like she might one day not even have the money to reward her servants.
When King Jin came back from his shift at the Ministry of Industry, he saw her smiling, and she showed a mysterious smile from time to time.
While she was in the inner room, he called Yu Chan and asked, and he immediately understood what she was enjoying. When Yao Niang came out of the inner room, she saw that King Jin looked at her with a meaningful look.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” King Jin looked calm and calm, “By the way, I heard from the people below that how many warehouses have you visited in the past two days?”
Yao Niang nodded hurriedly, her eyes shining a little: “There are so many treasures in there!”
The King of Jin covered his lips with his fist, coughed lightly, and then said seriously: “You are now in charge of the central government. You do not need to report the amount below five thousand taels to me, you can spend it as you like.”
“Really?”
The King of Jin nodded slightly.
“Your Highness, you are so kind!”
……
Next to her, Yuchan lowered her head, not daring to look at the scene of the two masters being intimate.
She decided to hide this secret in her heart. She cut off part of the monthly schedule for the concubine and kept it in another place for emergencies.
I have saved a box. Every time she secretly took out silver from the concubine’s money box behind someone’s back, she must not let the silver inside exceed one hundred taels. Yu Chan felt so stressed.
How to take it, how to take it without letting the concubine notice it, and how she secretly took out the money to make up for it every time she ran out of money, all gave her a headache.
But who said this was… an order?
The author has something to say: Do you still remember the small theater in “The Little Nanny of the Moonlight Clan”?
Yao Niang counted her little treasury: one tael, two taels, ten taels…
The girl’s voice came from outside the door: “Madam, Your Highness is here to reward you.”
……
“Congratulations, Madam, Madam Congratulations, Your Highness really loves you.”
Yao Niang smiled so hard that her face stiffened: “Rewards, rewards for everyone, one hundred coins for each person…”
……
Yao Niang continued to count her little treasury: one tael, two taels, ten taels…
There was a knock on the door suddenly, and Yao Niang was frightened.
“Madam, Madam, Your Highness is here to reward me again.”
“Thank you, my wife is very cheerful, have fun together, have fun together…”
……
As she kept counting, Yao Niang found that the money in her money box was getting less and less. Every month, the monthly money was gone before the end of the month.
She nicknamed herself Moonlight Clan. →.→
~~~
Yao Niang: 嘤嘤嘤, (??ˇ?ˇ??) Humph! It’s all your fault, I have no money! (〃′o`) I really want to cry. I’m going to beat your chest, you bad guy! ! ! (￣^￣)ゞ咩QAQ hits your chest, you are so annoying! Why do you reward these wretched things to others? They want small money! (=?ω?)?They hit you on the chest with small fists! ! ! (??︿???) Big bad guy, I’ll beat you to death (つд?)
Prince Jin: If you want to run away every day, I will give you money to stop you! →.→

By the way, there are fixed red envelopes after 25 in the front row, and random drops in the back row.
