Xiaoyue enforced the family law at the second gate and beat the two rough girls ten times each. Ye Yichen looked at it when he came back. Ye Yichen thought about it and finally didn't ask. It is Yulan's responsibility to manage the inner house, and Yulan will not control the inner house.

Ye Yichen didn't even notice how important things were.

He is too busy with outside affairs, and he has no energy to take care of the affairs of the inner house. What's more, if he interferes with the affairs of the inner house, he will be interfering with Yulan's scope of authority, which is a bit beyond his authority.

He believed in Yulan's character and let him do whatever he wanted.

Xiaoyue finished her errands and wanted to come back and report to Yulan, but when she saw Ye Yichen was in the house, she did not enter. The next morning, when Ye Yichen went to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, Xiaoyue entered the house and asked him to leave.

After leaving the house, Yu Lan glanced at her and asked, "Is everything done?"

Xiaoyue nodded: "The two little girls have been driven away, and the old woman in charge has also punished them! The servant sent a few older girls with good relationships to ask, and the princess dealt with these few who didn't understand the rules. The palace

It's much quieter here!" During this period, Xiaoyue, under Yulan's instructions, had a good relationship with several well-known daughters-in-law and girls in the house, and could keep abreast of many news in the house.

Yulan stuffed a piece of tangerine into her mouth and asked her with a smile: "Then have you found out the clue? Who is talking bad about me behind my back, and who is adding fuel to the flames?"

Xiaoyue felt a lot of pressure for a while. In such a large house with a large population, rumors are the easiest to breed and spread. It is not easy to find out the person behind the scenes! Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said: "Give me a little more time."

, this slave will definitely be able to investigate this matter clearly!"

Yulan nodded: "Go ahead and find out as much as you can. Give me an explanation within three days!" The purpose of asking Xiaoyue to do these things is to train her to be like Qian's mother. Yulan

So exhausted.

Xiaoyue bowed and turned around to go down. Yulan called a little girl who was delivering the message and said, "Go and tell the girl with red sleeves to come in!"

Yesterday, Yu Lan found two talkative girls on the second door, and called the girls and women in the house to see them. They were originally intended to scare the devils and monsters. In the past two days, there have been rumors about the princess, and Hong Xiu also

After hearing a lot, she was inevitably a little worried. When Yu Lan asked her to come over, she felt a little nervous.

Isn't this because she doubts her rhythm? She really regrets now that she shouldn't have fought with the princess like that when she first entered the palace. The princess looked kind and amicable, and she usually spent the time of the director and housekeeper and the white lady in front of her.

Compared with the princess, she is not a little bit less.

But for some reason, the prince liked her, and many of the previously unruly servants in the palace slowly moved closer to her. Hongxiu didn't even understand what kind of tricks she had used. How could she not be impressed by her ability?

She was frightened. Ever since she knew that the prince had even given her body deed to her, Hongxiu had become much more honest. She was not convinced by Yulan, but she really didn't dare to act rashly.

The rumors had nothing to do with her.

When she arrived at the main courtyard and saw that Yulan's face looked good, Hongxiu finally let go of most of her worries. After seeing the ceremony, Yulan did not mention the rumors, but just ordered: "It seems that it is the Ghost Festival, so it is time to go to each house and have a ceremony."

It’s a big deal. I asked the mother in charge that the gift list in previous years was decided upon by you and grandma. This year, you’re going to waste too much time and draw up the list first and show it to me! I’ll modify it as appropriate!”

Hongxiu was stunned for a moment, but Yulan didn't wait for her to raise objections and continued: "You can compare it with last year's gift list and give you three days, is that enough?"

The ceremony was very difficult to talk about, because this year it was Princess Yulan who was in charge. Even if Hongxiu was so tired that she vomited blood, the credit still belongs to her princess. Hongxiu really didn't want to do it.

However, Yu Lan seemed to have read through her thoughts and said calmly: "I also saw that you have been following the prince for so many years and have become old, so I entrusted you with such an important matter. Just do it well and do it well.

Well, of course I will reward you. But if something goes wrong, then you will not only lose your own face, but also the face of our prince, and the face of our palace. You should weigh the consequences at that time.

!”

Cold sweat broke out on Hong Xiu's forehead, and Di Tou said: "I will do my best!"

Yulan then smiled and said: "Very good!" She took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Don't worry, I'm not the one who waits for you. If I wanted to regress, you would have done it long ago. I wouldn't wait until now.

When I open the skylight and speak frankly, I don’t see how pleasing you are, but I feel that you have served the prince for so many years and have no merit but hard work, so I don’t want to be acquainted with you!"

Hongxiu lowered her head and said nothing. She really understood the princess' methods. She knew that she had caused many obstacles for her, but she still used herself confidently and boldly, letting herself help her take care of the whole situation.

He was in the inner courtyard of the palace, and often asked him to come to the main courtyard, so he was not afraid of her taking the opportunity to see Ye Yichen.

At first Hongxiu thought she had some conspiracy, but as time went by she finally understood that it was useless even if you showed off in front of the prince if you had that confidence, that confidence, and believed that you could win over the prince.

!

And the prince was really kind to her.

Just like what Yulan said, Yulan really wanted to deal with her. The evidence in his hand was all ready and he could take her down at any time. Yulan couldn't move her because it was really for the prince's sake.

At that moment, Hongxiu's mind was spinning, and she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She knelt down on her knees and said, "In the past, I was blinded by lard, so I competed with the princess like that. There are many of you who don't care about me, slave."

I am deeply grateful. From now on I will definitely change my ways and serve the princess well! Please forgive me for what happened in the past!" After saying that, he kowtowed.

Yulan waited for her to kowtow three times, then asked the girl to help her up. She smiled lightly: "Very good, you are a sensible person. Follow me and do things well, and I will naturally not treat you badly. You will do the same in the future."

I will naturally arrange a way out for you!"

What Hongxiu just meant was to submit a petition to her, and Yulan reciprocated the favor, telling her: Don't worry, follow me. If I eat meat, I will at least let you drink soup. Although you can no longer be with the prince, sister will choose a good one for you.

Other people’s.

Hong Xiu lowered her head respectfully and said, "Thank you, Princess!"

Yu Lan waved his hand and said, "If nothing happens, go down and draw up the gift list!" Hong Xiu then left.

Seeing that the tea on Yulan's table was a little cold, Xiaoyu changed her to a cup of hot tea and said softly: "Why does the princess have to be so kind to this little hooves!"

Yu Lan smiled slightly and said: "After all, she is the person next to the prince. If you really let her down, the prince's face will not look good. Isn't this good? There are people helping us with our work, so why not!"

"To be honest, Hongxiu is quite capable. She is busy with her mother these days.

As for family matters, we entrust the housework to Qi Shi and Hong Xiu. Although Qi Shi is the leader, it is actually Hong Xiu who plays the leading role. She can handle the myriad affairs of such a large palace in an orderly manner. Until now,

Being a general manager is a good thing.

The master and the servant were talking, and the little girl came in and said: "Reporting to the princess, the commander of the Jinyi Guards has sent Master Ma's daughter Ma, and she has entered the palace."

Yulan sent someone to send a letter to Ma Yunniang yesterday, asking her to come to the palace as a guest today. Ma Yunniang immediately sent her mother-in-law over, saying that she would definitely arrive today. Sure enough, she came. Yulan had already prepared everything, stood up and said

: "Let's go meet the horse girl!"

The palace covers a huge area, and the distance from the main courtyard to the second gate is very long. Yulan usually has a bicycle to travel in the inner courtyard. Yulan arrived at the second gate not long after getting on the car. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Ma Yunniang also

Here we are. Seeing Yu Lan personally greeting her at the second door, she couldn't help but be moved: "It's really a sin for the Labor Princess to welcome her personally!"

Yu Lan smiled and stepped forward to hold her hand and said: "You are not a princess, I regard you as a good friend, and we will be the same as before!"

Although Ma Yunniang is considered a lady, her father and brother are both military commanders, and she is favored at home, so her temperament is gentle but a little lively. She was a little nervous before coming here, but now she sees Yulan acting like this.

Slowly relaxed.

Yulan took her hand and asked her to get on her carriage. While walking towards the main house, she pointed out the layout and architecture of the palace. Ma Yunniang had never seen such a magnificent building complex. When she saw the magnificence of the palace, she was envious for a moment.

Incomparable.

When they arrived at the main room, Yu Lan invited Ma Yunniang into the flower hall, and the servants served a variety of exquisite tea and fruit snacks. The snacks were very exquisitely made. Ma Yunniang picked up a piece and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "This snack is so delicious.

Couldn't it be made by the royal chef in the palace?"

Yulan smiled and nodded: "If you like it, ask them to make more for you to take back!" The small kitchen serving Ye Yichen were all royal chefs from the palace. Yulan ate the food they cooked every day, and he no longer felt anything.

.Ma Yunniang’s face was filled with envy.

The imperial chef is the one who cooks for the emperor!

Ma Yunniang said: "I never thought that one day you would become a princess!" She chatted with Yulan for a while, and saw that after Yulan became a princess, his attitude towards her was the same as before, so she finally relaxed. The two of them finally relaxed.

They chatted happily, and Ma Yunniang quickly regained the feeling she had when she was getting along with Yulan.

Yulan blinked: "I didn't expect that either!" Yulan paused and said, "I heard that you were engaged, but you didn't even tell me!"

Ma Yunniang sighed: "I am not as lucky as you to be able to marry someone like the prince, and there are no parents-in-law, no sisters-in-law, and you can be the master of the family after you get married. My father doesn't know what he thinks.

I was engaged in a hurry, and the man was not from Beijing! Because of this, my mother and my father had a huge quarrel. My father used to listen to my mother, but this time he insisted on getting me married.

past!"

Yu Lan was slightly stunned after hearing this: "Who is this man?"

Ma Yunniang spat at her and said, "How could you ask a girl like that?"

Yulan smiled and said, "Don't tell me you don't know!"

Ma Yunniang hesitated for a long time, lowered her head, and said with a red face: "He is the legitimate son of the Chief Envoy of Henan, and he has the reputation of being a civil servant!"

Yu Lan nodded and said, "It's a good match!" The chief envoy is a high-ranking official of the third rank, and a civil servant has a higher status than a military attache. Mr. Ma has done his best to find such a match for Ma Yunniang.

Ma Yunniang said sadly: "My father has decided to marry me off at the end of the year! I won't be allowed to live through the year!"

Yulan said in astonishment: "It's so urgent!" Normally, after everyone gets engaged, they go through the six rituals according to the rules until they get married. It takes at least a year to do everything well. Now it only takes four months until the end of the year, but this is

It was a bit too hasty. No wonder Mrs. Ma and Mr. Ma had a quarrel at home.

Forget about marrying your daughter outside Beijing, why are you marrying her off in such a hurry?

Yulan was really surprised at this. Could it be that Lord Ma was afraid of getting involved in the fight between the Crown Prince and King Zhao, so he married his daughter outside? Then why was he so anxious?

Yu Lan had no choice but to advise: "Your father and your brother love you so much, they will never harm you."

Ma Yunniang nodded, and said with some enthusiasm: "Just marry me, I just can't bear to leave my parents, and I can't bear to leave here!"

Yu Lan consoled him: "When your future father-in-law takes a step further and becomes the Minister of the Sixth Department, you can follow the scenery back to the capital!"

Ma Yunniang said: "I hope so!" She paused and then suddenly said: "I heard that your cousin has decided to be the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs this time. There should be no changes this time, right?

"

Yulan didn't expect that Ma Yunniang was still concerned about Ye Minchun's marriage. Thinking of this time, she couldn't make any decisions about the woman's marriage, so she could only sigh: "Although my cousin is good, he is not your lover!"

When Ye Yichen came back in the evening, the two of them went to bed early after dinner. After a harmonious dinner, Yulan suddenly asked him: "Is the emperor's health not in good condition?"
