The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Luo Li had a nice nap. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ruhua sitting at the table with a focused expression and sighed softly.

"Ruhua, you let me take over the housekeeping duties, so you will be busy from now on. Who will take good care of your young lady?"

Ruhua quickly looked up from the account book and gave a flattering smile.

"Miss, let Siyu, Tingting and Yuli take good care of you for two days. I will be free after I sort out these account books."

Luo Li was helped by Yingchun to sit up while complaining: "Alas!... Siyu is obsessed with medicine and holds a medical book all day long, Tingting is obsessed with cooking and wants to stay in the kitchen, and Yuli is obsessed with martial arts and can't be seen at all.

If you continue to bury yourself in the account books, your daughter will suffer!"

Yingchun said hurriedly, "Princess, Yingchun and Banxia can serve you well."

Ruhua responded to the young lady's sad look with a humble smile. "Thank you, sister Yingchun. I will be done with my work in two days. Miss, please bear with it for two days!"

Luo Li felt that the bad habits of the maids were caused by her, so she reluctantly took the wet wipes handed to her by Banxia and wiped her face.

He stood up and walked to Ruhua, leaning over to look at the account book in her hand.

: "These accounts make me dizzy. Ruhua, don't tire yourself out with all these account books! Take your time and don't be in a hurry."

Ruhua raised her head and smiled at the young lady, "Don't worry, young lady! Doing something you like won't be hard or exhausting."

Yingchun asked in surprise when she saw the symbols written by Ruhua in the grids on the paper with a thin charcoal pencil.

: "Sister Ruhua, what kind of accounting method is this?"

Ruhua buried her head in the account book and replied with a smile, "This method was taught by the young lady. It is fast and accurate in accounting."

Yingchun and Banxia were stunned! Didn't the princess say that she didn't know how to count because she had little education?

Yingchun brought a cup of hot tea to the princess and asked her attentively, "Princess, shall I go and gather the servants and maids and take baskets to the Qiong Garden to pick Qiong flowers?"

Luo Li took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"No hurry! There are too many flowers to digest in a short time. The blooming period of this magnolia is long, and the tree can't escape even if it grows there. Let's pick them in a few days."

Yingchun didn't dare to ask how the three carriages of flowers were digested.

Even if the princess really used those flowers as toilet pads, as long as the princess gave the order, she would still lead people to pick all the flowers in the tree without hesitation.

"The room is too stuffy, let's go out for a walk!" Luo Li put down the teacup, stood up and walked out.

Yingchun and Banxia hurriedly responded and followed.

When they walked out of the house, Siyu and Yuli quickly ran out of the west room to catch up. When they reached the yard, Tingting also came out of the kitchen with Wanqiu and Yingxue, holding a small food box in her hands.

Luo Li looked at the three maids with satisfaction and smiled, "Not bad! I haven't forgotten your young lady."

Yuli pulled the lady's sleeve coquettishly and leaned her head on her shoulder.

"Miss, how could we forget you! Yu Li practices martial arts diligently with Master every day, not just to have the skills to protect Miss."

Luo Li touched Yu Li's head lovingly, "Okay! Your young lady will go out tomorrow, I'll take you with me!"

: "Wow! Miss Mingri is taking Yuli out to play? Damn! Oh my!" Yuli was so surprised and excited.

Luo Li stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead with her fingers, "Is this how it's used?"

Yingchun and Banxia watched with envy, the close and intimate way the princess and her personal maids got along with each other was really enviable!

Thinking that the four of them would become the princess's close and attentive maids, her heart leaped with excitement.

Under the guidance of Yingchun and others, Luo Li visited the buildings and scenery of the palace like a tourist.

Yingchun said that there was a strict rule in the Qin Palace. The servants in the front yard were not allowed to walk into the main yard or the back yard. The servants in the back yard were not allowed to go out at will. However, the maids and servants in the main yard could walk around the palace at will.

Luo Li thought that perhaps the maids and servants in the main courtyard were all clean people, and reliable people trusted by King Qin?

The Qin Palace, covering an area of ​​more than 30 acres, is definitely the largest mansion besides the imperial palace in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable.

Yingchun said that outside the city there were thousands of acres of mountain land and fertile fields awarded by the emperor over the years, plus a batch purchased by the palace, there were enough fertile fields to cover 10,000 acres. There was a particularly large hot spring villa with beautiful scenery.

Emperor Taizong was really good at superficial things. Except for not giving any real power, the rewards given to him were gold, silver, treasures, mansions and fertile lands which were extremely generous!

He was extremely kind and gave Taizu's children the titles and treatment of princes and princesses. In Luo Li's opinion, Emperor Taizong really had a guilty conscience.

There are many buildings in the Qin Palace. In addition to several large courtyards in the main yard, there are also several pavilions and courtyards in the east and west side yards and the back yard, all of which are extremely exquisitely built.

A small courtyard is shaded by young willows, and a field of roses is blooming in full bloom at the corner of the wall.

Yingchun introduced, "This is the courtyard where Butler Zhao and his family of three live."

There is a large courtyard with a plaque inscribed with "Chunfengju", which is full of lush flowers and trees, shaded by rockery, and is quiet and elegant.

Clusters of tall and green bamboos stand tall and straight, and hibiscus flowers bloom brilliantly against the backdrop of green leaves.

Yingchun introduced. "This is the courtyard where the prince used to live."

Luo Li kicked the door frame angrily after hearing that!

"I have such a nice yard to live in, why does he stay in my Ningxinyuan every day?!"

Yingchun and the others covered their lips and laughed, "Now that the prince is married, of course he has to live with the princess."

We came to a courtyard with a plaque with the words "Plum Garden" inscribed on it.

Luo Li became interested and said, "Go in and take a look."

The courtyard is spacious, with a plum forest of well-arranged density. Each old plum tree is probably hundreds of years old.

The branches of the plum tree are as hard as iron, twisted and gnarled, just like dragons that seem about to soar into the sky.

Yellow plums hang on the branches. The tender yellow plums and the iron dragon-like branches complement each other. The new life and the vicissitudes are intertwined, which makes people feel shocked!

Luo Li said happily, "There are hundreds of plum trees here. Let's come here to pick plum blossoms in winter!"

Yingchun and others were really amused by the princess.

When others see the plum forest in the plum garden, they are all amazed by the impact of the beautiful scenery.

Only the princess, seeing this plum forest, thought of the plum blossoms blooming in winter, and planned to pick them in advance.

Butler Zhao came over in a hurry, and when he arrived in front of the princess, he bowed and saluted, "Princess, I want to ask you something."

Luo Li smiled gently, "Uncle Zhao, I told you not to call yourself an old slave in front of me, why can't you remember it?"

Butler Zhao showed gratitude on his face, "Princess, you call me Uncle Zhao, but I really don't deserve it."

Luo Li said affectionately, "You are about the same age as my father, so it's only natural for me to call you uncle."

I thought: [You have a lot of power in this palace. If I can coax you around, it will be much easier for me to do things.]

Butler Zhao was so moved that he clasped his fists and bowed again, "Princess, I am here to ask you for instructions. The ice reserves in the palace may not be enough. The weather is very hot now, so we need to buy some more in advance."

Luo Li understood immediately. She had wasted a lot of ice in the palace these days, and Housekeeper Zhao was worried that it was not enough for her to waste, so she wanted to buy some more.

Luo Li waved her hand generously: "No need to buy! I use a lot of ice in the palace, I can just ask someone to send a few trucks over."

Butler Zhao was stunned!

He hurriedly said, "Princess, you can use as much ice as you want. You don't need to use money from your private treasury to replenish it."

Luo Li smiled and said, "I have always kept my public and private affairs separate and I don't like to take advantage of others. You don't have to worry about the ice. Someone will deliver it tomorrow."

He thought smugly in his heart: "Although ice is not cheap, Luo Mansion has plenty of it. We can make as much as we want. Why should I take advantage of your palace?"

Butler Zhao smiled bitterly when he saw how the princess had drawn such a clear financial boundary between herself and the palace.

Although the princess was a little stupid, she was honest and straightforward! Unlike the two people in Qiongfang Pavilion, who tightly controlled the property of the palace and squandered it extravagantly.

"Princess, there is one more thing. Madam Lin just called me over and said that the blood swallows, century-old ginseng, pearls and Tianshan snow lotus in the warehouse are running low, and we need to buy another batch as soon as possible."

After thinking for a while, she added, "Mrs. Lin and Miss Biao like to eat blood bird's nests, drink ginseng tea, and use pearl powder and Tianshan snow lotus to make beauty products every day."

Luo Li cursed inwardly in anger! [I have made a lot of money but I still don’t want to spend it extravagantly! This mother and daughter who live under someone else’s roof are squandering other people’s money extravagantly. How shameless!

No wonder people say that if you don’t earn the money through hard work, you will squander it without any pain! 】

Then she thought, [What they are squandering is the property of the Prince Qin's Mansion. What does it have to do with me? As long as the accounts are clear to Ruhua, they can squander it! ]

Luo Li waved her hand generously, "In the future, you don't need to ask for permission for such matters, just do it as you see fit.

"Your Qin Palace has plenty of money, enough for them and their daughter to spend lavishly. How can such a huge Qin Palace not be able to support two beautiful women?"

Butler Zhao's mouth twitched with heartache!

I thought that even if the prince gave the power to manage the household affairs of the palace to the princess, the princess was stupid enough to ignore the extravagance of Madam Lin and her cousin!
