After everyone saluted, they remained half-squatting and did not dare to stand up until they heard Lu Lingxi call them to stand up.

After hearing no movement for a long time, Concubine Shang boldly called out, "Crown Princess?"

When Lu Lingxi heard Concubine Shang calling him, he realized that he had just been distracted by admiring the beauty. He came to his senses and said, "Everyone, please stand up and take your seats. No need to be polite!"

After receiving Lu Lingxi's response, everyone took their seats one after another. Only Concubine Shang was still standing. She stepped forward and introduced herself: "I am the Crown Prince's Concubine, Shang. I have been in the Crown Prince's Mansion for six years and have been managing the internal affairs of the Mansion. Now that you are the head of the Mansion, it is time for me to hand over the housekeeper's keys and account books. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

The personal nanny beside Concubine Shang held the key, and the maid held the account book, and they were about to go forward to meet Lu Lingxi's maid.

Lu Lingxi quickly stopped the two people who were approaching and said, "Concubine Shang, don't worry. I just came in and I don't have an experienced maid to guide me. I can't handle the housekeeping work. I'd better ask you to help me manage it first. I still need to learn more from you in private. When you have experience and are competent, you can take over the job of housekeeper."

Concubine Shang evaded the question, "You are so modest, Your Majesty. With your intelligence, you will surely be able to do these little things at a glance. Why would you need to learn them specially? If after reading them, I find that there are details that I have not paid attention to and Your Majesty does not understand, you can always ask me. I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Lingxi didn't know when this cycle of pushing the buck would end, so she simply brought Nan Wangyu out and said, "Concubine Shang, there's no need to shirk responsibility. I've discussed this matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants you to continue to manage the palace's internal affairs from now on."

"And I'm here to enjoy a peaceful and leisurely life." Lu Lingxi only thought about the second half of the sentence in her heart. She wouldn't be stupid enough to say it out loud in public.

When Concubine Shang heard that this was also His Royal Highness's intention, she stopped refusing. She knelt down and saluted, saying, "I thank Your Highness and Your Majesty for their trust. In the future, I will do my best to take care of the internal affairs and not let Your Highness and Your Majesty worry."

After the ceremony, another maidservant beside Concubine Shang tactfully brought tea, and Concubine Shang respectfully handed it to Lu Lingxi: "Your Majesty, please have some tea!"

Lu Lingxi took the tea and took a sip. Hmm, the temperature was just right. She was also a little thirsty, so she took another big sip. She nodded with satisfaction, gave Concubine Shang a gift, and then let her get up and go back to her seat.

After two unsuccessful tea-serving events, this time it was relatively smooth without any problems. It turns out that serving tea is not such a difficult matter.

After Concubine Shang served tea, the next one to come was Concubine Su according to her position. But she sat in her seat for a long time without moving, and Lu Lingxi couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is this childhood sweetheart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to do something weird again?

This time, Lu Lingxi had wrongly accused Concubine Su. With the warning from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the day before, she no longer dared to mess around with the tea serving.

She was distracted at that time just thinking, you two are shirking the right of the housekeeper, why not give it to me. Even if I didn't become the main wife, I would be half the mistress of the prince's mansion with the right of the housekeeper. So, she secretly made up her mind to fight for the right of the housekeeper, and even started to think about the follow-up strategy. Immersed in her own world, unable to extricate herself.

Concubine Shang knew about the incident in Yilan Palace the day before, and knew that the two had an unpleasant experience when they first entered the palace. However, after all, the person sitting above was of a higher position, and it seemed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince valued the person above more, so Concubine Su, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's childhood sweetheart, must give the Crown Princess the proper respect. So, she coughed and reminded, "Concubine Su? It's your turn to offer tea to Her Majesty."

After hearing the reminder, Concubine Su came to her senses, quickly stood up and walked forward, kneeling obediently in front of Lu Lingxi.

When Lu Lingxi saw Concubine Su kneeling in front of her again, she leaned back subconsciously. It was not that she was afraid of her, but she was a little scared. With so many people present, she hoped that she could have some dignity and not go crazy.

After Ruizhu handed the tea to Concubine Su, she lowered her head to hide her expression and said in a cold tone: "Crown Princess, please have some tea!"

In Lu Lingxi's eyes, Concubine Su's attitude today was quite respectful, so she didn't say much, took the tea from her hand and took a sip, put it back on the tray, returned the gift to her, and asked her to sit back down. The whole process was surprisingly smooth.

After that, they offered tea to Lu Lingxi in order of rank from high to low. From: Crown Prince's Concubine, Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang, to: Chenghui, Zhaoyi, Fengyi. It was similar to what Nan Wangyu said to Lu Lingxi when he still called himself Xiaoyuer, and maybe there were other new people besides Concubine Su.

With so many people, Lu Lingxi felt that it was quite difficult for her to count the number of people, let alone match their names, faces, current positions, and family backgrounds one by one. That was simply a fantasy, and she was too lazy to waste the effort, as Chunhong would help her remember these.

She took a sip of the tea handed to her, smiled politely, and gave a token gift. She did this dozens of times in a row, and she felt like she was almost numb. It was just like the production line in a factory.

However, among these beauties, there are also a few that left a deep impression on Lu Lingxi, such as Liangyuan Duan, whose figure is so good, with a protruding front and a curved back, a slender waist, and her charm in all her casual movements. When kneeling below, Lu Lingxi could see her tall and proud breasts as soon as he lowered his head, which were so high that girls would be shy when seeing them.

Another example: Zhaoyi Qian was tall and thin. Lu Lingxi saw that the thinnest part of her waist was probably about the same size as her thigh. When she offered tea, a small part of her wrist was exposed, which was probably only half the size of her wrist. Lu Lingxi even suspected that she had been abused. She had never had a full meal in her life? Did she not have a full meal even when she came to the Prince's Mansion because of her low position and lack of attention?

Also: A Yao, who has no surname and no maternal family, was probably picked up by the prince when he visited the prince's palace in disguise, after a hero saved her. A Yao must have had the most miserable life before entering the prince's mansion, but now she is the most prosperous among the beauties. Lu Lingxi looked her up and down and roughly estimated that A Yao weighed about 200 pounds, but it can be seen that A Yao's bones and facial features are still good, and her overall body shape has little effect on her beauty. Of course, she will be more outstanding when she loses weight.

After everyone had served tea, it was almost time for lunch. Lu Lingxi felt a little tired even though she had been sitting still. After that, she told them not to pay respects every day, but only on the first and fifteenth day of each month. They didn't have to pay respects too early, but at 9:00 p.m., and then she told them to disperse.
