Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Butler Cheng said, "After all, the princess is the mistress of the palace, and it's time for her to learn how to manage the palace's household expenses."

Xie Shang suddenly asked, "Since the princess married into the palace, has she bought anything, clothes, jewelry, etc."

"She has bought it, but the princess paid for it herself. She has never taken a penny from the public account." Butler Cheng said truthfully.

Xie Shang pinched his brows, looking tired. He didn't sleep well last night. His back felt like it was being pricked by needles and he couldn't fall asleep. He stayed half asleep and half awake until dawn. Only after he left Sandalwood Court did he feel relaxed all over.

Butler Cheng continued slowly, "The people in Lanyue Pavilion are never picky about the food sent by the kitchen. Even when Nanny Xu asked the kitchen staff to buy ingredients to make cakes that the princess likes, she would secretly take the money.

The Jiang family also often sent clothes and jewelry, especially the princess's second sister, who would send good things to the princess on time, such as brocade skirts, new fans, gold and silver jewelry, to the princess's yard. The princess's eldest brother would also send some rare things to amuse her. The princess didn't lack anything at all."

Xie Shang was thinking: Why doesn't Jiang Fenghua spend my money? She keeps spending her family's money. Is it because the Jiang family thinks she has been wronged in the palace, or does she think I have no money?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Butler Cheng boldly said, "On the contrary, the people in Sandalwood Courtyard demand this and that. Even Chef Zhao in the kitchen lamented that he couldn't afford to serve this concubine and her maids in the courtyard."

Xie Shang casually added, "Wanwan likes to eat meat by nature. She grew up outside the Great Wall. That's the custom there. Please let Chef Zhao be more tolerant."

Xie Shang took out the badge and handed it to Butler Cheng, "Take some silver from my private account and settle the debt."

Butler Cheng was shocked, "My Lord, you are being unfair to the princess by doing this!"

Xie Shang was stunned, and then said, "When did you question my decision? Don't alarm the princess and Wanwan about this matter."

"Yes, I understand." Butler Cheng shook his head. The prince really married a vampire. If this continues, the prince's family property will be squandered by Concubine Su. No one knows what the prince means and whether he is willing to hand over the power of the family to the princess.

If it is given to the concubine...

Butler Cheng was so frightened that he trembled all over. He quickly went to the accounting office to ask Mr. Du to calculate the account in detail. After paying back the money, he could not let anyone lend her money on credit again. Although the prince had a lot of private property and these tens of thousands of taels of silver were nothing, they were also planned by the queen for the prince, and he could not let Concubine Su squander it all.

Butler Cheng is from the Queen's family and was specially sent to manage Xie Shang's mansion. He is loyal to Queen Cheng and will naturally inform the Queen about this matter.

Butler Cheng also heard that the prince went to the Sandalwood Court to rest last night, and the princess was worried about the concubine even though the prince was so sick.

He had nothing to say, so he just shook his head and left the study.

Lin Feng brought in more medicine, and his attitude was not good, "Prince, take the medicine."

Xie Shang smelled it and it seemed even worse than yesterday's medicine.

He drank it in one gulp without thinking. After drinking it, he felt weird and almost couldn't breathe.

He frowned, and when he recovered, he asked, "Why is the medicine different today?"

"Your Highness, do you feel particularly uncomfortable and don't want to drink?" Lin Feng said sarcastically, "Your Highness, you don't have to drink if you don't want to. This way you don't have to go to Lanyue Pavilion."

Xie Shang's eyes flashed with cold light, and he glanced at Lin Feng coldly, "Why do you worry so much about whether I will go to Lanyue Pavilion or not?"

Lin Feng also knew how to read people's expressions, so he naturally wouldn't say that he thought the maid from Lanyue Pavilion was better. He took the medicine bowl and walked out of the study. Seeing him so angry, Xie Shang felt puzzled.

He was mentally exhausted, his illness had not yet healed, and he had no interest in work. He had originally planned to take a rest on the couch, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

What he was thinking about was, Jiang Fenghua got up! Did she take the medicine? How is her throat? Lin Feng talked so much and didn't talk about the important things. It would be fine if he could just talk about what the princess was doing.

Xie Shang couldn't sleep anymore, so he got up from the couch and went to Lanyue Pavilion.

Today he did not go through the main gate but instead climbed over the wall and took a "wrong way" to sneak into the yard.

Lian Ye watched from afar, and originally thought that it was some bold thief who dared to break into Prince Heng's mansion. But when she saw that the man was His Royal Highness Prince Heng, she pretended not to see him and hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Jiang Fenghua's ear.

Jiang Fenghua was sitting in front of the dressing table dressing herself up. She was wearing a pomegranate red long sleeve dress with dancing butterflies embroidered on the layered hem, which was very gorgeous.

She had a towering bun with a jade hairpin in it, and white jade earrings hanging down on both sides of her temples. She had a long, white neck, a slender figure, and a strapless long dress that wrapped around her plump breasts.

When Xie Shang looked down from above, he felt the blood boiling in his body. He shouldn't have sneaked up to the roof.

She put on light makeup and some bright red lip balm, and instantly became radiant and beautiful. She stood up from her seat, walked gracefully, and swayed gracefully.

Lian Ye waited attentively on the side and deliberately said, "If the princess leaves the palace dressed like this, I'm afraid that people who see her will be so fascinated that they won't be able to walk."

Jiang Fenghua naughtily tapped Lian Ye's forehead, "I see you guys are walking well, and you didn't fall! Stop making a fuss."

Seeing that she was about to go out, Xie Shang almost slipped in his anxiety. It had rained for two days and the tiles on the roof were covered with moss. He could only try his best to keep his body steady so that no one would notice that he was peeking on the roof, otherwise where would his dignity as a prince be.

Only after Jiang Fenghua and the two maids left Lanyue Pavilion did Xie Shang come down from the roof. Lin Feng suddenly appeared behind him, "Your Majesty."

Xie Shang was startled, "What are you doing here? You scared me."

"If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The prince is so scared. Could it be that he has done something wrong?" Lin Feng looked up at the ceiling, then looked at Xie Shang.

Xie Shang calmed himself, stood straight with his legs and back, and asked, "Where are you going, Princess, so early in the morning?"

"Won't the prince ask the princess himself?" Lin Feng refused to say anything.

Xie Shang threatened directly, "This month's salary will be reduced by one..."

"The young lady from the Zhang family has sent a letter to the princess, inviting her to visit Duke Zhang's mansion." Lin Feng said.

"You can't go so early as a guest!" he wondered.

Lin Feng said, "I heard from Hongxiu that the princess wants to go shopping on the street first and buy some gifts for the Zhang family."

Xie Shang thought to himself: If I want to give a gift, I can just ask Butler Cheng to prepare it. Why should I go to the street to buy it myself?

Seeing that he was about to go out, Lin Feng deliberately said, "Your Majesty, are you going to the government office? Butler Cheng asked for three days of leave for the prince, and this is only the second day."

"I will also go for a walk on the streets to understand the people's sentiments," he said.

Lin Feng did not point it out to him, "Your Majesty, are you going to ride a horse or a carriage? I will have someone prepare it."

"Carriage." Xie Shang said coldly.
