Like inside and out

"So, this is why you came here early in the morning?" Jiang Ru glanced at the thick stack of notebooks on the table, and then at Bai Liyi who was sitting across from him.

If she read it correctly, that pile of things should be - account books.

"Yes," Bailiyi nodded naturally, "Since you are the head of the house, you are in charge of the income and expenditure of the palace. How can you do it if you don't know how to check the accounts?"

"So many?" Jiang Ru put one hand on the cover page of the account book.

"There are nearly a thousand people in Rongshun's mansion, do you think there will be less accounts?" Bai Liyi asked back, and snapped his fingers at Ye Ling who was beside him: "Ye Ling, if there is something wrong with the princess?" Where you know, you are responsible for teaching her."

"Yes." Ye Ling replied, but it was amused in her heart, the move made by the young lady was a bit ruthless.Account books are something that ordinary ladies can't understand at all, let alone manage accounts.

Bailiyi smiled with satisfaction: "Very good." Then he said to Jiang Ru: "Be sure to learn before sunset." Then he stood up from the chair and walked away.

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Jiang Ru didn't look at a loss. He just casually picked up a book and flipped through it, then threw it on the table: "Ye Ling."

"What is the princess' order?" Ye Ling immediately came over.Just kidding, if the princess can't complete the progress, she will be unlucky.

Jiang Ru smiled meaningfully: "Your master...are you testing me?"

Unexpectedly, the intention would be seen through so quickly, Ye Ling couldn't help but feel a little speechless.But I heard Jiang Ru continue: "Okay, it's none of your business, go down."

Ye Ling didn't expect her to say that, and hesitated: "But Wangfei, these accounts..."

"Oh, your lord looks down on me too much," Jiang Ru picked up a pen, and opened a book of accounts casually, "Don't worry, I will sort it out before sunset, and you can watch it if you want."

Ye Ling was dumbfounded by what she said. With so many accounts, how could she have such confidence?Feeling worried, she naturally chose to stay, but she also wanted to see how many skills the princess had hidden.

……

The words were divided into two parts, Bai Liyi left Rongshun Palace, and went to no other place, but the largest brothel in the imperial capital - Baihualou.

On a sunny day, the flashy brothel Chu Guan became the quietest place.She didn't bother to go through the main entrance to deal with those guards, so she jumped in from a window on the third floor with the wall-swimming skill.

Although the sound of the series of movements was already very soft, it still disturbed the beauty in the room.The people who were a little flustered immediately relaxed when they saw Bai Liyi, and knelt down to salute: "See you, my lord."

"Get up," Bailiyi waved his hand, "Yunshang, I don't want to disturb anyone this time, so there's no need to be polite."

"Yes." Yun Shang stood up and carefully poured Bailiyi tea.

As we all know, Yunshang is the top courtesan with superb skills in Baihualou, and she is also a prostitute who is laughed at by many wealthy children.But few people know her second identity - the eyeliner placed by Prince Rongshun.

"To check the news, I went to the wine shop and visited the brothel, and it's true." Bai Liyi took the porcelain cup in one hand, and at the same time motioned Yun Shang to sit down, "Is there any movement on what I want to check?"

"Yes," Yun Shang straightened her temples, "The person who intercepted the Holy Angel Corps you mentioned in your secret letter last time is indeed a wild herder."

"It really is them," Bailiyi thought thoughtfully, "Go on."

"Those people have been specially trained. They have appeared several times before. They are called 'fast runners'. They move quickly, but it is not clear who they obey."

"Really?" Bailiyi narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Then continue to check for me until it's clear."

"Yes." Yun Chang agreed, and the two talked again.Yun Shang suddenly changed the subject, and smiled at Bailiyi: "The prince seems to be in a good mood since he got married, so the princess must be a likable person."

"Huh?" Bai Liyi was taken aback by what she said. If it's flattering to bicker with herself and cause trouble from time to time, Jiang Ru is indeed qualified.

"The so-called bystanders are clear, and it is normal for the prince to not notice it himself," Yun Shang still maintained a smile, "The so-called lover is hard to find, Yun Shang has seen this kind of thing a lot, and there are many people who only regret it for the rest of their lives because of a single thought. My lord, don't do anything that makes you regret."

……

Until returning to the palace, Bailiyi was still thinking about Yun Shang's words.

Will she like Jiang Ru?Really like a woman?This sounds almost more absurd than this marriage.

However, it does seem that some things have begun to get out of control...

Bai Liyi sat in the corridor irritably, struggling for an afternoon without any result, but ran into Ye Ling who was running around looking for her out of breath: "My lord, go and have a look quickly...Princess...it's terrible ..."

"What's wrong? You're in a panic." Bai Liyi gave her a sideways look.

Ye Ling stammered, "I've read all of such a thick pile of account books..."

"Are you kidding me?" Hearing this, Bai Liyi was also quite surprised, "It would take a day to hand over so many accounts to the accountant, and besides, the market price of things like food and silk changes rapidly, how could she be so clear? "

Ye Ling suddenly recalled that the last time she went out with Jiang Ru with Tsing Yi, she walked around a few streets but only asked the price but didn't buy anything, so she told Bai Liyi the whole situation.Bailiyi didn't say much, and went straight to the study.

Jiang Ruzheng was sitting in front of the table, and he was not surprised to see Bailiyi coming in. With a swipe of his pen, he closed the last account book and threw it aside, and said with a smile, "You came just in time."

"Is everything done?" Bai Liyi casually picked up a book and flipped through it. The handwriting is beautiful, but the annotations are very careful.After simply browsing one page, the accounts seem to be correct.

"Heh, I haven't watched so much for a long time." Jiang Ru yawned and looked at Bailiyi with a smile: "I wonder if the prince is satisfied with this trial?"

Bai Liyi glanced back at her: "I even asked about the market price, did you expect that I would try you?"

"No, it's just my habit," Jiang Ru shook her head innocently, stood up and walked to Bai Liyi, leaned over and whispered in her ear; "For the sake of taking care of me for so long, Let me tell you a secret. The owner of Laiyilou, the No. [-] restaurant in Shengtian Yingdu, is none other than me."
