As soon as Qi left, a young boy came in to deliver a message. Of course, you can't be too old to enter the inner house to deliver a message. The young boy was only eight or nine years old and was quite smart. He came in and kowtowed to Ye Yichen and Yu Lan before leaving.

He explained the purpose of his visit. "Mr. Ou and Mr. Zhu asked me to invite the prince to come over!"

Ye Yichen asked, "What's the matter?"

The boy made it clear: "Master Huang, the left minister of the Ministry of War, has been waiting for you in the study for two hours!"

When Yulan returned to the palace, she saw a line of carriages coming from the west gate of the palace, and they were all lined up on another street. They were all waiting to see the prince. She had served the old man at Songfeng Bookstore and knew that Ye Yichen

It's scary how busy these important ministers are. If they want to do something, there will be endless things waiting for them every day.

Ye Yichen frowned slightly. Huang Shilang was not a person who had no eyesight. If there was no big deal, he would definitely come to his house to bother him on the third day of his marriage.

Yu Lan quickly expressed his position: "If you have something to do ahead of time, just go and do it! I am here waiting for your return."

Ye Yichen stood up, and Yu Lan personally took the crown from Qiu Ling's hand and put it on him, then stretched the corners of his clothes before sending the prince out of the yard.

After sending Ye Yichen away, Yu Lan returned to the house and sent all the maids away first. Since he couldn't sleep at this hour, Yu Lan asked the little maids to bring lychees and some seasonal fruits to eat. She didn't eat two, Xiao Xiao

Yue came in and reported: "Concubine Qi is here again!"

Yulan was really fed up with this Qi family. Xiaoyue noticed her unhappiness and whispered: "If you don't want to see her, I will tell her that you are tired after returning home today and are resting. Call her."

Come back tomorrow."

Yulan said: "No, you put on some clothes for me and I'll see her!"

Xiaoyue called Xiaoyu in, helped Yulan dress up briefly, put on a bright red dress, sat down at the front seat, and then went out to call Qi Shi in.

When Qi left, Yulan told her eldest young master to come in and answer any questions. The original meaning of this was to ask her to send a maid to answer him. But when she found out that the prince had just gone to the front, she asked her again.

Came in person.

She also saw that the prince was obsessed with Yulan, and she would definitely not be happy if she fought in the ring in front of the prince, so she found such an opportunity to meet Yulan.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Yulan sitting upright, smiling. He had just made a fuss with Ye Minwen. There was no look of anger on her face. Seeing that she was so calm at such a young age, Qi felt a little uncomfortable.

Comfortable. In the past, she had many contacts with Yu Lan, but she thought she was humble and polite. Now that she has become the first lady, she really has the style of a first lady, without any of the petty ambience of a common concubine in a family.

Qi Shi was blessed and said: "Just now, the prince and his wife asked me to go back and settle the young master, so they came over to say something."

Yulan ordered the little maid beside her: "Bring a stool and ask Concubine Qi to sit down."

Xiaoyue then brought a brocade stool over. When Qi saw it, she felt very unhappy. Although this brocade stool could seat people, it was a bit shorter than an ordinary chair. However, the lady asked her to sit on it and she had to sit on it.

He had no choice but to sit on the brocade stool. As soon as he sat down, Yulan was half a head shorter than Yulan. She could only talk with her face raised, which made her feel very unhappy.

She knew that Yulan did it on purpose, but she couldn't say anything.

Seeing her sitting down, Yulan asked, "Have Wen'er settled in yet?"

Qi Shi said: "The eldest young master went back and drank a bowl of anti-shock soup and fell asleep. I asked the little maid to watch from the side. It seems that nothing is wrong now."

Yulan said: "That makes me feel relieved. You have worked hard too."

Qi said lightly: "I dare not say it is hard work, but the prince, Princess Bai and old lady Bai have great trust. It is my blessing to be able to serve the eldest young master. Fortunately, after so many years, the eldest young master has become accustomed to me being by his side.

"As long as Ye Minwen is in her hand, Yulan can't do anything to her. Without Ye Yichen here, Qi Shi is very sure.

This is a demonstration.

Yu Lan looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile, with a calm expression on his face. "I will inform the prince about Wen'er's situation. If there is nothing else, you can leave." After taking care of Qi's absence for the past two days,

Now that she has not yet established a firm foothold in the palace, it is not easy to act rashly.

And Yulan doesn't think she and Qi can't get along peacefully. As long as Qi behaves herself, she is not the kind of woman who has no tolerance for others. She just got married, and Qi is afraid of losing her status in the house.

, so she kept a close eye on Ye Minwen, her biggest shield. She could understand all of this.

At this point, Qi Shi saluted and said a few nice words, and it would be fine. Unexpectedly, she was determined to save Yulan's face today, so she stood up and said: "Yesterday, the prince asked the slave to come to your place."

Receive the punishment...The eldest young master is not very emotionally stable right now, and I am afraid he will never be able to leave me for a moment. Do you think I will come back in a few days, when the eldest young master is well?"

She was very sure that Yulan was concerned about Ye Minwen and didn't dare to do anything to her.

Yu Lan's face darkened when he heard this.

It’s really a penalty for not eating the toast!

She was sure that if Qi was asked to leave the main courtyard like this today, everyone in the mansion would know tomorrow that the prince was supporting the new lady like that, and the new lady would not dare to punish Qi, and she would not be able to think of concubine Qi in the palace in the future.

He stood up in front of the servants.

Qi raised her head slightly and looked at Yulan, her eyes respectful but with a hint of provocation. Ye Yichen is twenty-five years old and has only one child like this. Everyone in the family regards him as important as their own eyes. She doesn't believe that Yulan dares to be here.

Move her under such circumstances.

If she really did this, the prince would naturally be unhappy.

Qi Shi concluded that she did not dare.

Yulan understood all this in a flash. There are really people in this world who seek punishment on their own. Today is really an eye-opener. Seeing the provocation in Qi's eyes, Yulan's eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule.

"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot." Yulan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said slowly: "My sister has been waiting for the prince and the previous princess for a long time, and she has always been more than others.

Somewhat respectable,

What's more, I had a lot of contact with my sister before. Even if you made some mistakes, I wanted to raise my hand and let you go without punishing you. But since it was the prince's order, I couldn't disobey him.

mean……"

Qi Shi was shocked. Did she really want to punish herself? At this moment?

Yulan smiled and said: "In my family, such a mistake would require being grounded and punished with kneeling for several days, but I'm afraid Wen'er can't live without my sister... My sister is also a first-time offender, so why don't I fine you three months' monthly payment?"

!Sister, do you think my punishment is fair?" Qi heard what she said.

, I finally made up my mind. According to the status of a concubine, her monthly money is twenty taels of silver a month. However, because Ye Minwen is raised in her yard, the offerings in the house are so generous on weekdays, and the prince is rich.

Reward, in her eyes now, sixty taels of silver is nothing.

She thought that such a punishment was actually innocuous. She made a scene in the madam's main courtyard, and in the end she was only punished for three months. Meaning, although she was punished, she still had the upper hand. She could survive in the palace.

The servants who came down were all made of human sperm, so naturally they had a strong conscience.

Her mind settled.

Qi Shi said: "Madam, the punishment is fair."

"Oh!" Yu Lan prolonged his voice and said with a faint smile: "So you have accepted the punishment?"

"This slave accepts the punishment!"

Yu Lan said: "I punished my sister a little, just to avoid future consequences! Since you have accepted the punishment, I will ask you, why should I punish you?"

Qi Shi was a little confused by the questions she asked one after another, "This..."

Yulan said: "Why, don't you know what mistake you made to be punished? Or do you mean that it was the prince's fault that he asked you to come to me to receive the punishment?"

With such a big hat off, Qi Shi would not dare to say it was the prince's fault, so she could only reluctantly reply: "It was the slave who was careless and bumped into the madam!"

A winner's smile appeared on Yu Lan's face: "Yes, that's it. Actually, it's nothing if my sister bumped into me. I'm not a stingy person. It's just that this is the royal palace after all. There are no rules.

, if everyone is like my sister, regardless of superiority or inferiority, then our palace

Isn't it a mess? Since you know where you made a mistake, go back and reflect on it, and don't make it again next time. If you make a mistake once, I can think that it is just my sister's first offense, and we have sisterhood, so I will be given a lighter sentence. If

If I do it again, I have no choice but to seek help from a monk."

Qi was suppressed by this great truth, her face turned red and white, and she was holding back her anger for a long time. She said after a long time: "I have written it down. If Madam has no other instructions, I will resign now!"

Yu Lan refused to let her go, waving her hand and saying: "Wait a minute!"

Qi had no choice but to ask: "Madam, do you have any other instructions?"

Yulan smiled very kindly: "There is one more thing I want to ask my sister, which nun is in charge of punishment in our house?"

Qi Shi thought she was going to insult him, and veins popped up on her forehead.

Yulan waited patiently for her to speak.

Qi finally said: "Mother Li is in charge of punishment!"

Yulan said to the maid on the side: "In that case, Xiaoyue will go and inform Mother Li tomorrow. Don't forget this point." Naturally, if you make a mistake, you must inform Mother Li. Although Qi became angry with shame, she still

There is nothing to refute.

After a pause, he added: "There is one more thing I want to inform my sister. When the prince came back today, he told me that he would leave the affairs of the inner court to me tomorrow. Some rules still need to be changed.

Changed. From now on, no matter who makes a mistake in our house, I will ask Mother Li to record it in the file. At any time, because

Why should the reasons be recorded one by one, so that there is a file to check, in case someone makes the same mistake a second time or a third time. At that time, I will have a basis for severe punishment. My sister is the first person since I took over government affairs.

You are being punished, so I have to ask my sister to go to Mother Li’s place tomorrow and have her fingerprints printed.”

After hearing what she said, Qi was so angry that if she did what she said and put her thumbprint on that wrong file, she would be really embarrassed. This new lady is so powerful.

Not only did he slap a big label on her for taunting the madam, but he also turned her handle into black and white letters in his hands. From now on, if she makes any mistakes, she will be punished with multiple crimes, so that others will not be able to say no.

.

I thought I could win this game, but now it seems like I was completely defeated.

Qi didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse and turn out to be so unfavorable to her. She couldn't help but said in desperation: "You are unfair in dealing with things. You treat others as dishonest! You are deliberately targeting me! I don't accept it!"

Yulan's face darkened: "Please be careful, concubine! You made a mistake, you admitted your mistake, and you are willing to accept the punishment. This is what you just said yourself. The maids in the room were all present, and everyone could hear it.

Clear." She had just deliberately called Qiu Ling and Qiu Hong into the room to wait on them, and she was waiting for now.

Then he said sternly: "I just changed the way you admit your mistake from oral to written. Wherever I look at others, I will target you!"

Qi knew she couldn't defend her, and her face was already sweating. "Everyone who made a mistake is asked to sign and sign. How can there be such a rule in the house?"

Yulan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am the head mother of this family, and it is natural for me to handle the affairs of the back house. This rule is reasonable. Even if there is no such rule in the house, I can add it as I wish, no one can say

There is no need to say no. My sister is a smart person, so I don’t need to tell you these principles again!"
