After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

It took about half an hour to get from the palace to her Prince Wu's Mansion.

The specifications of the palaces of all the princesses are the same, and they cover the same area. There is no question of which palace occupies a larger area and which one occupies a smaller area.

The most different thing is the layout inside. For a wealthy princess, the palace will naturally be more luxurious.

For example, Zhong Ruhuang's Prince Wu Mansion is quite conventional, with the same style as the Imperial Household Department, and covers an area of ​​thirty acres.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Prince Wu's Palace.

The plaque of Prince Wu's Palace was hung up yesterday, and the servants from the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also sent over.

Fan Yu went over and showed the token belonging to the fifth princess, and the two female guards guarding the door immediately knelt down.

"Greetings to His Majesty King Wu."

They are servants of Prince Wu's Mansion. In this life, they have no other choice but to be loyal to Prince Wu's Mansion.

Moreover, their indentures were delivered to Zhong Ruhuang by the Ministry of Internal Affairs yesterday.

Zhong Ruhuang got off the carriage and reached out to help Xiao Ziran.

"Get up."

The wife and husband entered Prince Wu's palace together.

The Prince Wu's Palace is of standard size, covering an area of ​​approximately thirty acres, with seven courtyards, pavilions, towers, gardens, and bridges over flowing water.

Zhong Ruhuang took Xiao Ziran's hand openly, walked into Prince Wu's Mansion, and began to look around.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be her home from now on.

Before she had finished looking at the front yard, a middle-aged woman in black came trotting up to Zhong Ruhuang with a slight limp.

"My captive servant Zhao Ping'an greets His Majesty King Wu."

"No gift."

"you are?"

Zhong Ruhuang looked at Zhao Ping'an with some confusion.

Zhao Ping'an is a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face, tall and strong.

Although he had a slight limp, his steps were light and he was a well-trained man.

If Zhong Ruhuang herself had not been good at martial arts and knew the art of concealing her breath, she probably would not have been able to tell that Zhao Ping'an was a master.

"In reply to your Highness, the captive servant is a steward sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His name is Zhao Ping'an. He used to be a sergeant, but later retired due to injury."

The Qinglan Dynasty had very good policies towards soldiers who retired due to injuries or became disabled. Those who had healthy limbs but minor defects would basically be given a job that could support their families.

Those who have lost their ability to work will also be given a certain amount of silver and food every month.

There are many soldiers like Zhao Ping'an who have a slight limp in the Qinglan Dynasty. The court will arrange jobs for them so that they can survive.

The stewards of the eldest princess and her relatives are basically retired military personnel, and they are all very good at martial arts.

Zhong Ruhuang nodded with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Butler Zhao, you are very good."

As she spoke, she patted Zhao Ping'an on the shoulder.

Those who can defend their country are all good people.

As long as Zhao Ping'an doesn't do anything to betray her, he will be her housekeeper in the future.

Zhao Ping'an was naturally quite smart to be able to become Zhong Ruhuang's housekeeper, and she understood that King Wu was willing to have her as his housekeeper.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

Zhao Ping'an is neither arrogant nor impatient, and is very calm.

Xiao Ziran lagged behind half a step, and was held by Zhong Ruhuang's hand the whole time, and his eyes were also looking around the mansion.

"How long will it take to clean the house?"

Although the Prince Wu's Palace has been built, it still needs to be thoroughly cleaned and inspected, and household furnishings and the like need to be placed in place before a good day can be chosen to move in.

"If I were to reply to your Highness, it would take five or six days to completely clean it up."

"Did the Imperial Observatory say which day would be a good day?"

She couldn't wait to move out of the palace.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory says that the seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-first of July this month are all auspicious days for moving into a new home."

Zhao Ping'an spoke briefly and directly.

When Zhong Ruhuang heard these three dates, she chose the seventh day without thinking.

"Let's move into the palace on the seventh day. It just so happens that Wang Fu and Hui Consort's dowries haven't been unpacked yet, so we can just carry them directly to the palace."

"Yes, the captive servant knows about this and will clean up the palace as soon as possible."

"Let's go, take me to see the main courtyard."

Zhao Ping'an came to Prince Wu's Mansion yesterday and had already gotten to know the palace well. Now that he was leading Zhong Ruhuang around, he felt no stranger to it.

There are seven courtyards in Prince Wu's Palace. The first courtyard is the front courtyard, which can be used during banquets and is the place to entertain female guests.

The second courtyard is the guest courtyard, which is also used to entertain male guests.

There is a large garden between the front yard and the guest yard. This large garden is separated by a small bamboo forest, so that female and male guests can be entertained together.

The third courtyard is the main courtyard, also called the Wife's Courtyard, which means where Zhong Ruhuang, the head of the family, lives. On the east side of the courtyard there is the Female Courtyard, also called the Women's Courtyard, which is prepared for Zhong Ruhuang's future daughter.

The fourth courtyard is the main courtyard, which is where Xiao Ziran, the husband of King Wu, lives. There is also a men's courtyard on the east side, also called the Men's Courtyard, which is for the men after Zhong Ruhuang to live in.

The fifth courtyard is the side courtyard. As the name suggests, it is where the concubine and the maid live. It also has a men's courtyard.

The sixth courtyard is the servants' courtyard, where the servants and maids who serve in the same room live, and it also has a men's courtyard.

There are small gardens between the main courtyard and the main courtyard, between the main courtyard and the side courtyard, and between the side courtyard and the attendant courtyard. These are also small gardens where men usually spend their leisure time.

The seventh courtyard is the backyard, also called the tail courtyard, where the big kitchen is located, as well as the servants' rooms and the residences of the female guards in the mansion.

The backyard is connected to the back door, so when people go to buy vegetables or something, they usually go through the back door, which is convenient and will not disturb the male relatives in the house.

Of course, every courtyard has servants' rooms and a small kitchen. Whether a small kitchen can be set up depends on the degree of favor.

However, as the legal husband, Xiao Ziran did not have this worry and could set up a small kitchen himself.

Zhong Ruhuang looked at the main courtyard and thought it was well decorated.

"Aluan, the main courtyard is yours, you can decorate it however you want, I will not interfere."

As for the side yard, it currently belongs to Zhang Yufeng alone.

After all, there are only two men she has a relationship with.

When Xiao Ziran heard Zhong Ruhuang say this, he was very happy and had already started thinking about how to decorate his main courtyard.

It took Zhong Ruhuang an hour to tour the Prince Wu's Mansion. She was satisfied with it as a whole. She asked Zhao Ping'an to take note of some details so that they could be adjusted during the cleaning.

After touring the palace, Zhong Ruhuang brought Xiao Ziran out and returned to the palace in a carriage.

Xiao Ziran followed Zhong Ruhuang on a walk around the palace, and the amount of exercise he did far exceeded his usual amount.

After getting into the carriage, he fell asleep leaning on Zhong Ruhuang's shoulder in a short while, which showed that he was really tired.

Soon, they returned to the palace, to the princess' residence, and to the East Fifth Residence where Zhong Ruhuang lived.

Fan Yu drove the carriage directly to the main courtyard gate.

Zhong Ruhuang got off the carriage holding the sleeping Xiao Ziran and entered the main courtyard.

Zhang Yufeng, who rushed over from the East Courtyard, happened to see Zhong Ruhuang carrying Xiao Ziran in, and his eyes were filled with envy.

Your Highness is so kind to Brother Xiao.

Of course, it's good for him too.

When Grandpa Xu saw Zhang Yufeng's eyes full of envy, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Which man has not dreamed of being pampered and loved by his wife?
