Wearing a book, hooking him up

More than three months have passed since Su Jingyao entered the mansion.

During these three months, Ling Yue almost stopped spending her time and thoughts on Jun Zechen, and devoted herself to managing the affairs of the backyard every day.

When she really started to manage household affairs, she realized how difficult and complicated these affairs were.

Every day, just watching the arrangements and dispatches between the palace maids would take up a lot of her energy and time, and she also has to arrange various etiquette learning and training work for the palace maids in the East Palace.

Fortunately, with the help of these experienced maids, the progress was relatively smooth.

What really gave her a headache was the financial problems of the Prince's Mansion.

The finances of the Prince's Mansion have always been managed by Anshun. Every year, a portion of it is allocated to the backyard for expenses, and the rest is arranged by the Prince himself. Ling Yue has no right to interfere.

However, just checking the expenditure flow in the backyard takes up most of Ling Yue's time every day.

The account book was as complicated as a maze. Only with the patient guidance of the nanny could Ling Yue barely take a look at it. She even realized that the account book could be falsified. She needed to check it carefully bit by bit and not miss any details.

Although I am exhausted every day, the feeling of holding power in my hands is really wonderful.

In addition to managing internal affairs, Ling Yue now visits the Queen under the pretext of studying, and mentions the selection of concubines to the Queen.

Ling Yue could clearly feel that the Queen's impression of her was no longer as disgusting and unsatisfactory as it was in her previous life.

At lunch time, the palace maids around the queen hurried to the Qiluan Palace.

"I am here to see the Crown Princess. This is the list of selected concubines sent by the Queen. The Queen asked you to personally decide the positions of the concubines and the palaces they will live in."

The palace maid bowed respectfully and presented the list with both hands.

Meixiang hurried forward and took the list.

Ling Yue nodded slightly and said, "I will carefully consider the positions of each of the ladies, so that mother can rest assured." Her tone was firm and her expression was calm.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." The palace maid bowed again and then slowly retreated.

After the palace maids left, Ling Yue's originally calm face could not hide her curiosity. Even though lunch was placed in front of her, she had no desire to enjoy it at all.

He couldn't wait to take the list from Meixiang's hand, walked hurriedly to the couch and sat down, leaning forward slightly, checking it with a focused and anxious look.

Haha, almost all of them are acquaintances.

But I didn’t expect that An Jinyan was not selected?

In her previous life, she was a loyal dog to Su Jingyao.

When An Jinyan first entered the East Palace, it was because of Su Jingyao's malicious instigation that she acted cruelly towards herself. As for Su Jingyao herself, she had always been treated as an innocent little white rabbit, and all those evil things were done by An Jinyan for her.

I had originally thought of letting An Jinyan and Su Jingyao fight against each other in this life. After all, Su Jingyao is now Jun Zechen's favorite, and how could An Jinyan put her energy into dealing with herself, the disfavored crown princess?

Pity.

Lin Miaoyin, Ye Yaqin.......

These two were also strong opponents of Su Jingyao in her previous life, especially Lin Miaoyin. In this life, Ling Yue will make them enemies from the very beginning!

There was a cruel look in Ling Yue's eyes.

Then it occurred to him that in his previous life, the queen had asked him to confer titles on new concubines entering the palace. At that time, he was ignorant and knew nothing, and thus he had offended many new concubines.

In this life, we naturally have to do our best to look good.

Among the seven beauties, Ye Yaqin and Mu Liyue have the most prominent family backgrounds, so they can both be named Consorts. But I don't know what kind of person Mu Liyue is like. There was no such person in her previous life.

Lin Miaoyin is a noble lady from Jinzhou, and it is appropriate for her to be given the title of Liangyuan, but what about her palace?

When Ling Yue thought of this, a meaningful smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, revealing a bit of calculation.

Then let Lin Miaoyin live in Huameiju next to Su Jingyao's Shuening Palace.

In her previous life, Lin Miaoyin was able to gain Jun Zechen's attention, so she must have had some means and abilities. In this life, let these two fight to the death. It would be best if both were injured, and no one would have an easy life.

Doesn't Jun Zechen hate conspiracies and schemes between women the most? Su Jingyao in this life is not innocent at all. She blatantly framed him last time, and this account will not be let go so easily.

Ling Yue didn't have a very deep impression of Yan Xiaofei, but she knew that she was no pushover. Although she was just a concubine's daughter, she had great ambitions.

However, her family is powerful, so it is appropriate for her to be named Chenghui.

Mo Zhirou is also a newcomer who has never appeared in the previous life. It seems that many things in this life will undergo tremendous changes.

With a middle-class family background, it is appropriate for him to be given the title of Chenghui.

In the end, there were only two acquaintances left, Tang Suxi and Xu Shiying, both of whom had once sought refuge with him.

Tang Suxi's family background is of the lowest class, and she was only given the title of Fengyi in her previous life, so she will still be Fengyi in this life.

Xu Shiying didn’t know what the ending of her previous life was, but any woman in the harem who was ambitious would surely not have a good ending.

Although her status is not high, it is still better than Tang Suxi's, so she is appointed as a recruit for training.

Ling Yue carefully wrote down the rank of each concubine and the palace she was assigned to, and then sent a copy to the Queen and Jun Zechen respectively.

After the Queen and Jun Zechen have confirmed that there are no problems, the Queen will be able to confer titles to the concubines.

The time when the seven of them entered the palace varied according to their different positions.

Ye Yaqin, Mu Liyue and Lin Miaoyin will enter the palace in five days, Yan Xiaofei and Mo Zhirou will enter the palace in ten days, and Tang Suxi and Xu Shiying will enter the palace half a month later.

When Su Jingyao woke up on the other side, the sun outside the window had already set and it was long past lunch time.

Miaoyun received instructions from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and did not wake up her master, but stayed by his side, allowing her master to sleep peacefully until she woke up naturally.

After Su Jingyao got up, she sat in front of the dressing table. Miaoxia, who was dressing her master, held a comb in her hand with gentle movements.

However, he spoke to his master with some concern and told him that His Highness had been called by the Queen to attend a beauty contest this morning.

But seeing her master's calm and nonchalant expression, as if she didn't care at all, Miaoxia couldn't help but feel confused.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is selecting talents. There will be many new people entering the Eastern Palace soon. Aren't you worried, Master?"

Miaoxia stopped what she was doing.

During these days they have clearly seen how much His Highness dotes on the master, and when the master faces His Highness, she also looks shy like a little girl who is completely in love.

Miaoxia was indeed a little worried that her master would not be able to accept that His Highness was about to favor someone else.

"Why, have I been so arrogant recently that Miaoxia believed me? She thought I would be jealous of the new person who is about to enter the palace?"

Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but there was a hint of deep thought in her eyes.

But it's not wrong to be jealous. First be a domineering concubine, and then be a dignified and generous queen.

"I am just being overly suspicious. My master is a man of strong character and will not be seduced by male beauty."

Miaoxia joked with a smile, continuing to comb Su Jingyao's long hair.

Su Jingyao chuckled and looked at herself in the mirror. Her beautiful face looked a little conflicted at the moment.

What is worrying her now is whether or not to get pregnant?

New people will be admitted to the Eastern Palace soon. Since Jun Zechen is going to hold a selection, it is enough to show that Jun Zechen intends to favor these women. Since he is going to favor them, there is naturally a possibility of pregnancy.

Su Jingyao wanted to give birth to Jun Zechen's first son. After all, the status of the eldest son was extremely precious, and the current emperor and the queen would attach great importance to it.

But if she gets pregnant, the pure passion between men and women will decrease. Su Jingyao dare not say that Jun Zechen loves her so much that he cannot help himself.

For a man who had been an emperor for decades, his favoritism was nothing more than a temporary charity, a leisurely amusement, and something to make himself feel comfortable.

Love? Not really.

Su Jingyao has always been able to clearly distinguish between liking and loving.

"When will the new bride enter the palace?"

Su Jingyao frowned slightly and asked.

"The first batch, five days later."

Miaoxia held a hairpin in her hand and answered respectfully while preparing to put it on her master.

"The first batch? Your Highness selected a lot?"

Su Jingyao looked puzzled.

"Your Highness has selected seven people in total. The ones who will enter the palace in five days are Ye Liangdi, Mu Liangdi and Lin Liangyuan."

Miaoxia explained carefully.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, her snow-white skin seemed to emit a soft glow in the sunlight.

She frowned and fell into deep thought.

Su Jingyao didn't remember the contents of the novel very well. After all, more than ten years had passed. It was good enough that she could remember the male and female protagonists. She didn't remember any of these three people.

But she seemed to remember someone with the last name An. Could it be that she remembered it wrong?
