The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 169 Yongfu Palace

(Everyone, the Dragon House in the comment area is still open, so you can leave a message)

In the high walls of the palace, Yuzhu walked very fast, and she didn't have the heart to respond when someone greeted her along the way.

This makes her seem to be a thousand miles away from others. This is not her usual way of dealing with people, but today she obviously doesn't care about so much.

All the way back to Yongfu Palace in a hurry, Yuzhu didn't see Princess Xue Baoyun.

"Where did your lady go?" Standing on the steps, Yu Zhu asked the maidservant who was sweeping the floor.

"Niangniang and Miss Hou went out together, presumably to the garden!"

Yuzhu was very anxious, just when she was going to look for someone in the garden, she heard laughter from outside Yongfu Palace.

Those few masters are the only ones who can talk and laugh freely in the palace.

Sure enough, as Yu Zhu expected, surrounded by a group of maids, Xue Baoyun walked in from the palace gate.

"Let me just say, those flowers and plants should be watered more... You see, it was watered yesterday, and today they are competing for beauty!"

"My sister is smart, but it's a pity that the flowers and plants died before..."

Xue Baojun and Hou Shiyun were chatting happily, but they heard a voice in their ears saying: "Madam, if you want to report it!"

In fact, Yu Zhu had a solemn expression, Xue Baojun saw it as soon as he entered the palace gate.

"What's the matter?" Xue Baojun turned his head and asked, the other people in the palace were also looking at Yuzhu at the moment.

Yuzhu showed a troubled expression, and after scanning the left and right, she made a look of embarrassment.

"You servant girl, when did you hesitate to speak!"

After saying this, Xue Baojun turned to Hou Shiyun and said, "Sister, you go back to the house and rest for a while, we'll have a good talk later!"

Hou Shiyun was also very knowledgeable. After saluting Xue Baojun, she turned and went to her room.

After learning that Hou Shiyun's family was broken and dead, Xue Baoyun, as a good sister, brought her into the palace and placed her in Yongfu Palace.

Strictly speaking, only Zhao Yanxun's women can live in the back residence of the palace, so Hou Shijun's residence is somewhat unfair.

After Hou Shijun left, Xue Baojun walked all the way into the main hall of Yongfu Palace. After Yuzhu followed the gate of the palace, she signaled the maidservants inside to go out.

Sitting on the soft couch, after receiving the tea from Yu Zhu, Xue Baoyun asked: "Tell me, what's the big deal?"

Yu Zhu hesitated to speak, and finally knelt on the ground with a "plop", then kowtowed and said, "I beg the princess to save the life of this servant!"

The sudden scene made Xue Baoyun slightly stunned, what was he singing about?
She put down her teacup, and asked with a serious expression: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't make such fools!"

After being a princess for several months, Xue Baoyun has grown rapidly.

Yuzhu's behavior at the moment, in her opinion, has a threatening meaning.

He didn't even explain the reason clearly, but he wanted to save his life by himself, which was blackmailing her with the relationship between master and servant.

Hearing Xue Baojun's words, Yu Zhu had no choice but to raise her head and said: "Mother, the court recently checked the accounts of the palace, and the servants just heard about it outside, and this matter has already begun!"

Hearing this, Xue Baoyun understood Yuzhu's meaning, but she didn't speak, but picked up the teacup beside her.

This made Yuzhu feel hopeless, so she could only continue to say: "Our palace has a lot of expenses, and we have to support the Hou family, so we spent a lot more than the quota!"

"Most of these are the greetings sent by the servants to the warehouse management office. Now the prince is investigating this matter strictly, so the servants ask the empress to help!"

With a "ding", Yuzhu's words were interrupted by the crisp sound of porcelain clashing, and Xue Baoyun slowly put down the teacup.

"How many extra sticks did we use in the palace?" Xue Baoyun asked calmly.

"Returning to your mother, the slaves have roughly calculated, food, melons and fruits, vegetables and meat... all of them add up, and the total overspending is nearly three stones!"

Three stones of material, in other words, three hundred catties, is not a big or small amount.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Baojun gradually showed a smile and said, "Looking at how promising you are, I thought it was too much to worry about!"

Yuzhu's heart was extremely bitter, her life was at stake, how could she not be worried!
A speck of dust in the eyes of a big man may be a mountain on the shoulders of a small man, Xue Baoyun would not think about this reason.

"Send someone later to invite Mrs. Wu Hong, Dian Buzheng, and tell her that I want to ask her for advice from female workers!" Xue Baoyun said slowly.

At this time, do you still ask the female workers?Yuzhu feels that her brain is not enough.

Wait... Mrs. Dianshuzheng's family, didn't the concubine just ask for advice a few days ago?

Could it be that the princess had already made arrangements when the court began to investigate the case?
No wonder the concubine was not in a hurry, but she already had a plan to deal with it. The book office is to manage various accounts of the palace.

After thinking through these, Yu Zhu's heart really settled down.

"Slaves are going to do it now?" Yuzhu asked tentatively, she was more concerned about this matter than Xue Baoyun.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Baojun nodded and said, "Alright!"

"Slave, go here!"

After saying that, after Yu Zhu saluted Xue Baojun, she went straight outside.

After Yu Zhu left, Xue Baojun put his hands on his forehead, which was a bit troublesome for her.

Time soon came to noon, when Xue Baojun invited Hou Shiyun to have lunch together, Dian Buzheng Wu Zhong's wife was invited to Yongfu Palace.

Seeing Yuzhu entering the hall, Xue Baojun frowned and asked, "Why did you go for so long?"

"Going back to your mother, this Mrs. Wu is not at home, and this servant has been looking for it for a long time!" Yuzhu replied.

"Wu Zhongke is at home?" Xue Baoyun asked immediately.

"Not here, it seems that he went out with the prince!" Yuzhu replied.

Putting down the chopsticks, Xue Baojun nodded and said, "Xuan her in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, a woman came in from outside the temple with a look of fear.

"Meet the princess!"

"Mrs. Wu, excuse me... come and sit down!" Xue Baoyun said with a gentle attitude.

Wu Zhong's wife Liu Shi got up and came to the edge of the table, while Hou Shiyun who was sitting beside him got up and helped her sit down.

This is Wu Liushi's second visit to Yongfu Palace recently. With the previous experience, she knows Xue Baojun's purpose for calling her here.

Wu and Liu would naturally not resist being able to get in touch with the concubine, so they came happily every time.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why I called my concubine here?" Wu Liushi asked straight to the point.

Xue Baojun smiled slightly: "Could it be that there is nothing wrong, so I can't call you over to talk?"

"What the princess said is very true, what she said is very true!" Wu Liushi was a little embarrassed.

"This is a newly developed dish in the small kitchen in the palace. I specially asked you to come and try it. It's better to enjoy it alone than to enjoy it together!" Xue Baojun pointed to an exquisite dish on the table.

In fact, the four dishes on the table at the moment are all mouth-watering, and Wu Liu's is no exception.

Even if her husband is an official of the royal family, under the current living conditions, he cannot eat such exquisite dishes.

"Come on, try it!"

Under Xue Baojun's signal, Yu Zhu stepped forward to pick up the chopsticks, and carefully picked up food for Mrs. Wu and Liu.

"Thank you, princess, for the banquet!" Wu Liushi showed emotion on his face.
