After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 37: Another Confidant
Ye Zhilan saw everything that happened in Huajiang Pool yesterday.
The emperor was worried and wary of the Lu family, but he was helpless and could only think of some dirty tricks to disgust people.
Fortunately, there are still people in this world who recognize the loyalty of the Lu family.
The ancestors of the Lu family had conquered the Central Plains three times and never had any intention of usurping power, let alone the current situation of internal and external troubles.
She couldn't let these kind people down, nor could she let her daughter-in-law's hard work go to waste.
"Good boy, you are more insightful than your mother in everything. My Lu family is so lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you."
Ye Zhilan was no longer willful and immediately waved to Madam Jiang: "Quickly bring me the medicine. I need to take good care of myself."
The Crown Prince's wife made the Princess happy with just two words, and Nanny Jiang, Nanny Kong and everyone in the room showed sincere admiration on their faces.
"It's up to the Crown Prince's Consort to be capable."
Nanny Jiang smiled and complimented him. As she brought the medicine bowl, she echoed, "Our Liyang Palace is large and powerful, and can accommodate tens of thousands of servants. We can afford a few cats and dogs."
Ye Zhilan felt more satisfied after hearing this and drank the medicine obediently.
After calming down and thinking back on what had happened in the past few days, I felt that my son had changed a lot after all.
At least, he was willing to side with his Crown Prince's Consort and no longer made a fuss about marrying Yun Ling.
"Yun'er, you can't always let that slave girl do what she wants. You have to fight for what you should fight for."
Ye Zhilan gently held Fu Guiyun's palm and said with a smile: "I see that Chu'er has been respecting you more and more recently and has taken you to heart. You should also consider consummating your marriage with Chu'er."
Fu Guiyun has always treated Lu Linchu as a child. It is difficult for him to say it out loud, so he could only evade the question by saying, "My daughter-in-law will do her best."
Although Ye Zhilan was looking forward to having a grandson as soon as possible, he also knew that the child was born into a wealthy family and he could not expect her to use seductive techniques like those vixens. He could only wait for things to happen naturally.
After nodding slightly, he changed the subject.
"Yun'er, we are about to return to the south. Are you familiar with the internal affairs of the palace?"
Glancing at Madam Jiang and Madam Kong meaningfully, she continued, "What do you think of the situation at the mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Guiyun first glanced at the two maids silently. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he knew that his mother-in-law wanted to take the opportunity to test him.
"As Nanny Jiang said just now, the palace is huge and has many people. It is difficult for my daughter-in-law to fully understand all the internal affairs of the palace at the moment."
Over the past half month, she had actually already gained a thorough understanding of the entire Liyang Palace's situation and discovered many problems and hidden concerns, but she could not express her true feelings in front of her mother-in-law.
Firstly, the mother-in-law has relied on this group of trusted think tanks for many years. If they suddenly revealed too many shortcomings, not only would she be disheartened, but it would also create many conflicts, which would only be disadvantageous to her.
Besides, my mother-in-law’s opening words were very clear: returning south was the top priority right now.
"If you want to hear my humble opinion, I have only one thing to say to you."
Fu Guiyun answered carefully: "Since the Liyang Palace is divided into the north and the south, people's hearts are also different. Now we should protect the basics. The rest, except for life and death, are trivial matters."
The ambiguous words seemed to answer nothing, but in fact they touched Ye Zhilan's heart completely.
Although the Beifu family business is equally huge, it was a reward from the emperor after all, and the servants in the mansion are also a mixed bunch.
A while ago, she noticed that there was serious corruption in Gongtian Wangzhuang in the suburbs, and wanted to punish it, but was persuaded by the child Linzhi.
Only Nanny Jiang and Nanny Kong were left to serve in the inner chamber. She said slowly, "Yun'er, your views coincide with Lin Zhi's."
"Oh?" Fu Guiyun was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Lu Changshi had already advised my mother."
"Yes." Ye Zhilan smiled lightly, "He once told mother and your father that the more than 500 manors in our Liyang City are enough to support the descendants of the Lu family. The wealth in the capital is just a bait given by the emperor. It is better to use this bait to cultivate some confidants and spoil those people with ulterior motives, giving them a handle. They should always think twice about everything."
"Master Lu is really... far-sighted."
Fu Guiyun couldn't help but chuckle, "He wants to forcibly tie up those people with evil intentions in the palace."
In her previous life, she had never heard of Lu Linzhi coming up with any ideas for her younger sister. She only knew that after her younger sister took over the palace, she began to manage the internal affairs in a drastic manner and punished a large number of the palace's eunuchs and servants on the farm.
The result is predictable. Not only did it fail to reverse the phenomenon of corruption, but it also made the palace a target of public criticism.
Ye Zhilan already knew his daughter-in-law's abilities, and her wise yet foolish appearance was really pleasing.
"Most people in the world are profit-seeking. It is said that it is nice to be under a big tree. Even if the eunuchs in the palace are the confidants sent by the emperor, they are probably hoping that the Liyang Palace will be passed down for thousands of years so that they can achieve their goals."
After saying this, he was completely relieved and told Madam Jiang and Madam Kong: "From now on, you two don't need to report those troublesome things in the mansion to me. It's all up to the Crown Prince's Consort to decide."
"Yes." The two maids answered in unison.
Fu Guiyun understood that his mother-in-law had completely entrusted the entire palace to him.
Sure enough, after giving instructions to the two maids, Ye Zhilan called Cheng Kui in again.
"Yun'er, don't underestimate Xiao Kuizi because he is a senior member of our Liyang Palace. He is very smart and even Lin Zhi has entrusted him with important tasks."
She smiled and said, "Before Lin Zhi left Beijing, he specifically told me that if your palace is short of people, you should call Xiao Kuizi to serve. Today, mother will officially hand him over to you. From now on, you can ask him any difficult questions about personnel in the North and South Palaces."
"Thank you, concubine."
Fu Guiyun was deeply impressed by Cheng Kui from the first time he met him. He was a calm and introverted person.
Someone who is valued by both mother-in-law and Lu Linzhi must be extraordinary. Fu Guiyun said humbly, "I will rely on Eunuch Cheng a lot in the future."
"My dear princess, you are embarrassing me."
Cheng Kui was terrified, and immediately knelt down to show his loyalty: "I will do my best to relieve the Crown Prince's wife's worries and also to comfort the Princess."
This sentence made the two hostesses in the mansion very satisfied.
Now that Ye Zhilan and his daughter-in-law are on good terms, he no longer has any worries and can only quietly look forward to the day when he returns south.
As for that slut Yunling, she didn't do anything wrong yesterday. If she doesn't behave under my nose in the future, I will force her into the fish pond even if my daughter-in-law doesn't allow it.
After coming out of Changchun Palace, Fu Guiyun was still immersed in the joy of gaining another great general, but Cheng Kui was already thinking about relieving her worries.
"The Crown Prince's Consort doesn't want the Princess to worry, so she is kind and generous and doesn't bother with Yun Ling. But I really don't want to see the Crown Prince's Consort being wronged by this person again."
In front of her and Qinglu, Cheng Kui did not hide anything: "I have been fortunate to have made many connections with Lu Changshi over the years. I am not bragging. With just one word from the Crown Princess, I have a way to make Yunling disappear completely."
After saying this, he deliberately emphasized: "Even if Your Majesty shows up, you won't be able to find this person with this trick."
He knew that the young eunuch wanted to show his loyalty, but Fu Guiyun had seen too many bloody things in his previous life and had never thought of killing anyone in this life.
Moreover, even Lu Linchu himself only wanted to give Yun Ling the title of second concubine, so why should she make things difficult for herself?
"Xiao Kuizi, I appreciate your kindness."
Fu Guiyun said calmly, "There is still a long way to go in life. You and I have racked our brains over a servant girl. If a second or third more powerful character appears in the future, will we have to make them disappear completely?"
After a pause, she smiled calmly, "Not to mention that the prince already has a Du Jiuniang in his heart. Could it be that you want to build another monument in his heart?"
There is only one way to make a person let go, and that is to make him give up completely.
Cheng Kui understood everything after hearing this and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The Crown Prince's Consort really shouldn't be reborn as a girl.
If he were a man, he would at least be destined to be a prime minister.
