After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Yes, old princess." Mother Qin replied with a smile: "That was a gift from the Empress Dowager in the early years. It is a rare and precious thing. It can be seen that the old princess likes the princess from the bottom of her heart. And the woven gold brocade, why not give two pieces to the princess as well?"

Gold brocade is worth a fortune and is a tribute to the emperor. Not every prince or noble can get it.

However, the current Prince Pingyang's Palace is not as glorious as it was when the old prince was in power, so this gold brocade is rare.

The old princess nodded repeatedly when she heard this: "Yes, yes, go and pick carefully, and send her any brightly colored ones that suit her."

The floating brocade in her hand was given to Fu Zheng by the emperor when he first inherited the title of King of Pingyang and the emperor still valued the Fu family. Some of the colors were very bright.

I am already old now and can’t wear bright clothes. It will just sit there anyway, so I might as well give it to my grandson’s wife.

Not long after Gu Zhiyin returned to Qionghua Courtyard, she saw Mother Qin leading a group of maids over.

"Good luck to the Princess!"

“Mother Qin, please don’t be polite.” Gu Zhiyin hurriedly helped the person up and asked with a smile, “Does grandma have anything to tell you?”

"These are the gifts that the old lady carefully selected. There are also account books and documents. Princess, please take a look first. Starting tomorrow, I will come to help Princess look at the accounts and manage the house every morning. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Mother Qin said as she waved to the maids behind her, and several of them stood in front of Gu Zhiyin holding things.

In his previous life, Shen Linzhou was deeply favored by the emperor and was rewarded from time to time by the palace. Gu Zhiyin naturally recognized the gold brocade, with its bright colors that glowed faintly in the sun.

"Thank you for your kindness, grandma." Gu Zhiyin said flattered.

"The Princess of the County is kind and gentle, and the old Princess likes her very much." Mother Qin smiled and said, "I'll take my leave."

Gu Zhiyin: "Ruyi, send Mother Qin off."

Ruyi respectfully saw Mother Qin off, and Gu Zhiyin entered the house holding a beautifully carved mahogany box.

When I opened it, I was almost dazzled by the exquisite and luxurious set of headwear.

This……

Isn’t it the red jadeite five-phoenix headpiece that Gu Jinse always wanted but never got in her previous life? It is said to have been awarded by the Empress Dowager and is extremely precious.

This time, the old princess gave it to her the day after she entered the house.

Gu Zhiyin raised her lips unconsciously.

It seems that the old princess is more satisfied with herself than expected.

Well, that's good. Holding on tightly to the old princess' thigh is a hundred times better than relying on Fu Yunjing. Men should get as far away as possible.

Gu Zhiyin ordered people to put the things away, and then called the maids and servants working in Qionghua Courtyard to come over.

"I'm new here and I don't know you all. Please introduce yourselves and tell us about your specialties."

The ones who came with her to the palace this time were Ruyi, Huilan and Mother Hu. The rest were servants from the Pingyang Palace. They stood in front of Gu Zhiyin in a large crowd, and the number of people was quite spectacular.

Everyone looked at each other, and then a maid stepped forward and saluted, "I am Yang Qiao, you all call me Mother Yang, I once served the late princess, and I am a good cook."

The fact that he dares to say that he is good in front of his master shows that he is confident enough.

Gu Zhiyin looked at Mother Yang in surprise. As someone who had served the previous princess, she now held an important position in the palace. With her helping her, she would be able to gain a foothold in the palace more quickly.

This was another expression of the old princess's satisfaction with her. After all, before this, she had never heard Ruyi report the existence of such a person.

That’s why Mother Yang was sent here by the old princess.

"Then I'm in for a treat. From now on, I'll have to trouble Mother Yang to take care of my diet and daily life." Gu Zhiyin said with a smile.

Mother Yang bowed and replied, "It's what I'm supposed to do."

"My name is Chenxiang. I don't have much talent. I can only do needlework." A round-faced maid behind Mother Yang said with a smile.

"Your servant Yueying..."

"Slave..."

Everyone came up to introduce themselves one by one, and Gu Zhiyin recognized them one by one. She had seen the faces of some of them around Gu Jinse in her previous life.

As for temperament...

No matter in the previous life or this life, she and Gu Jinse are incompatible. Who would care whether the person serving her is good or bad? There is a long way to go, and people's true colors will be revealed.

"Mother Yang, I have prepared some small red envelopes. You will have to work hard to distribute them to the servants in our house one by one according to the number of their heads. Also, ask the kitchen to buy pork, chickens and ducks. There will be enough. I will pay for it. I will add more dishes for everyone today."

As soon as Gu Zhiyin finished speaking, the maids in the courtyard immediately expressed their gratitude with joy.

"Thank you, Princess."

After thanking, everyone dispersed. It was too much for Mother Yang to do all these things alone, so she picked a few people to help. Gu Zhiyin was also happy and let Mother Yang take charge of the matters in Qionghua Courtyard.

Even though Mother Yang knew that she would not be ignored when she came to Gu Zhiyin's side, she was still shocked by the trust and respect that the Princess of the County showed her right from the start.

Even though she is only in charge of the affairs of Qionghua Courtyard at the moment, that is because the Princess of the County has just married in and is still in the stage of learning and exploring the affairs of the palace. After she can handle things independently after a while, she will be the chief steward of the Princess of the County.

Before coming, Mother Yang had the intention of taking good care of the Prince for the former Princess and keeping an eye on the Princess, but now she is very concerned about Gu Zhiyin.

When Mother Yang gained power, Mother Hu's expression changed.

After following Gu Zhiyin into the house, she couldn't help but complain: "Princess, Madam Yang is from the palace, and her heart is biased towards the palace. If you give her power, she will inevitably turn around and control you in the future. I came with you as a dowry, so my heart is on your side. Let me take charge of the affairs of our courtyard, so that others will not climb over your head and bully you."

Huilan followed up and agreed: "I think what Madam Hu said makes sense. The Princess and I are both family members, so we are of the same mind. We still need to be on guard against those outsiders."

She followed the Princess into the palace in order to rise up the social ladder, and the most important thing was to gain the Princess's trust and esteem. She was not like Ruyi, who had served the Princess since childhood and was deeply trusted by her. If she was overtaken by these little rascals in the yard, she would have no place to cry.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at Huilan: "What do you think? When did I ever need a slave like you to teach me how to do things?"

Huilan turned pale and knelt down: "I dare not."

Gu Zhiyin looked at Mother Hu again: "Mother Hu, are you the master or am I the master? Have you forgotten what I said this morning so quickly? Since you have so many opinions about the palace, why don't you go back to the Gu family later."

Mother Hu was also frightened and fell to her knees.

"Princess, calm down. That's not what I meant."

Gu Zhiyin looked at the two of them coldly: "Kneel outside for an hour. If I hear you talking nonsense again, I will never let you off easily."

Jiang wanted to control me, so she arranged two slaves for her as a dowry, but she never gave her their indentures. Isn't this just placing spies around her to make it easier for her to track her movements?

Do you really think you are a soft persimmon?

In her two lives, no matter how law-abiding she was, she would never allow herself to be controlled by the Jiang family.

Huilan and Mother Hu were angry but dared not say anything. They went out and knelt down with grim expressions.
