August thirteen.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua went to the front yard.

Butler Wei Zhengde and a group of people were standing outside the main hall waiting.

After the two of them entered the hall and sat down, Wei Zhengde took a tray from the servant and brought it in.

He bowed and presented the tray, "Your Majesty, Princess, here are the storeroom keys, the cards and the account books."

These three things represent the power of the household affairs of Prince Yu’s Palace. Before this, he was second only to the emperor in the palace.

There was a long table in front of Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua. Yueying took the tray and put it on the table.

After Wei Zhengde handed over the power, he shouted to the outside world, "Come in."

The people outside came in one by one, each holding an account book in their hands. They were the persons in charge of the industries in the Prince Yu's Mansion.

There are shop owners and managers on the farm, and they each have their own authority in the shop or the farm.

They put the account books on the table one by one. Mo Zhaohua had a headache looking at them. With so many account books, how long would she have to wait to finish them?

But it doesn't matter. In her previous life, she had managed everything from Prince Qi's Mansion to the Eastern Palace and even the harem, so it's not difficult for her.

Chu Xuanchi announced in a cold voice, "From today on, the household affairs of Prince Yu's Mansion will be managed by the princess, and the housekeeper will assist."

Wei Zhengde lowered his head and responded, "Yes, Prince, Princess!"

From the moment Chu Xuanchi was granted marriage, he knew this day would come and had already prepared himself mentally.

Unless the mistress is incompetent, she will definitely be in charge of the household affairs. Mo Zhaohua has a good reputation and is definitely not an incompetent person.

Chu Xuanchi added: "The princess' words are my orders, and anyone in the palace must not disobey them."

He is not like other people who need a token of their own to represent him, but the identity of Princess Yu is enough.

Wei Zhengde and the other stewards responded in unison, their voices resounding, "Yes, Your Majesty, Princess!"

"This prince will look at these account books with the princess. If you have any questions, you can speak up now."

Account books are a place where it is easy to tamper with, and there are many people who would take advantage of the opportunity to enrich themselves.

Chu Xuanchi gave them a chance. It would be best if they confessed. Otherwise, they would be severely punished once he found out.

Now that he is a family man, it is time to tidy up the Prince Yu's Mansion and slowly turn it into a real home.

It is a home that belongs only to him and Mo Zhaohua, not a cage built for him by Emperor Wen Zong, where spies from various families are hidden.

This was also what Mo Zhaohua meant. Taking advantage of the fact that there was a mistress in the mansion, he would first seize power and then replace her, eliminating hidden dangers step by step.

A group of managers looked at each other, but no one stood up. Chu Xuanchi was not in a hurry, as he had plenty of time.

Wuying said at the right time: "The prince has always been kind to his people. Since everyone is loyal to the prince, then let's go."

Wei Zhengde immediately took all the managers with him. He was Emperor Wenzong's man and had never embezzled money, so he was not afraid of being discovered.

As for those in charge, he could not guarantee that if they did something wrong, he would only handle it impartially and would not show any leniency.

"My dear husband, do you really want to accompany me to look at these account books?" Mo Zhaohua could look at them himself, but it would be better if he could accompany him.

This is his palace and also their shared home. He should have some basic knowledge about the people and things in the palace.

Chu Xuanchi was afraid that she would be too tired. "There are so many account books. If Zhao Zhao reads them all by herself, her eyes will hurt."

Mo Zhaohua smiled brightly, "Okay, let's go to the study together and let me see how good my husband is at calculating accounts."

Chu Xuanchi pretended to be mysterious, "I don't like to watch these, but I will find someone who likes to watch and can calculate very quickly."

Mo Zhaohua's eyes lit up, "Huh? My husband has such connections?"

Chu Xuanchi ordered, "Wuying, tell him to wait in the study."

***

Mo Zhaohua pushed Chu Xuanchi into the study and saw a man in white sitting behind a desk.

When she came to the study yesterday, she was curious why there were so many desks in the room, including two for the two of them.

Later, when I saw Wuying sitting on one of the seats, I became curious about who the other seat belonged to. It turned out to be this person.

The man in white is Shu Ying. He was also present on the day of Chu Xuanchi’s wedding, but Mo Zhaohua was wearing a veil and didn’t see it.

He was originally reading a book, and when he saw them come in, he quickly stood up and stepped forward to greet them, "Your Majesty, Princess."

Wuying introduced to Mo Zhaohua, "Princess, this is Shuying. Her only hobby in life is money. She is proficient in the art of swallowing gold from her sleeves."

Swallowing gold in the sleeve, also known as a palm of gold, is a method of palm arithmetic. When calculating, you only need to lightly put your hands together to know the answer.

Shuying was still holding a folding fan in the mid-autumn season, "I have met the princess. The princess is extremely beautiful, she is truly a fairy who has descended to earth."

Mo Zhaohua responded politely, "You are too kind. You are also very elegant and graceful, only slightly inferior to the prince."

Chu Xuanchi was a little jealous when he heard his woman praising other men, but he was delighted by the last sentence.

Shuying waved her folding fan and said, "Master, our mistress is really amazing. Once she opened her mouth, I was speechless."

Chu Xuanchi deliberately frowned, "Why, did the princess say something wrong?"

Shuying sighed, "It is precisely because I did not say anything wrong that I suffered a loss and became a stepping stone for the princess to praise the master."

Chu Xuanchi couldn't help but chuckle, "Okay, get to work, these are all the things you are most interested in."

Shuying was called by Wuying, so she naturally knew what was going on. Upon hearing that, she sat behind the desk and waited to look at the account book.

At Wuying's command, several servants came in one after another with account books in their hands, put them down, and walked out with their heads down.

The study was a very important place and they were never allowed to enter it alone. Even if they occasionally had to go in to do something, they dared not take a longer look.

Wuying closed the door and sat down at the desk opposite Shuying. He had a lot of other things to do and didn't need to look at the account book.

The gold-swallowing technique in Shuying's sleeves was indeed powerful. The speed of Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua combined could not match his speed alone.

They had barely finished one book, but he had easily finished three. Mo Zhaohua saw this for the first time and was shocked and impressed.

I thought it would take her several days to look at these account books, but with Shuying's help, I'm afraid she can finish reading them all today.

Out of curiosity, Mo Zhaohua looked at Shuying, wanting to see how he calculated and why he could do it so quickly.

Shuying felt her gaze and tried to show off, but soon she felt another gaze.

He shuddered instantly, took a quick look, and saw Chu Xuanchi's eyes were as cold as a knife, stabbing into him.

It’s terrible, the master is jealous!

The master's concern for the princess had already exceeded their expectations.

He quickly sat up straight and said, "Princess, please don't look at me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have a good time in the future."

Mo Zhaohua was already stunned, but he came back to his senses after hearing this, "Ah? Why is this? Could it be that the sleeve swallowing gold technique cannot be seen?"

Shuying looked at Chu Xuanchi with resentment, "Master, you heard it, this cannot be blamed on me, I am just settling the accounts normally."

Mo Zhaohua didn't understand, but knew it was related to Chu Xuanchi, "Husband, what does Shuying mean by this?"
