Traveling through ancient times, the spy princess had everything going smoothly

Qin smiled and nodded, saying:

"Mother thinks the same. Liu, you will be the manager of the kitchen. I hope you will do your best to manage the kitchen affairs."

Qin looked at the other people in the kitchen again and continued:

"The three meals a day in the kitchen are extremely important. As long as you work hard, the palace will not treat you unfairly."

After hearing this, everyone responded, "Please rest assured, Princess. We will do our best to do our job well."

Qinghe looked at Liu Cui:

"Manager Liu, please tell me, what are you going to make for breakfast today?"

Liu Cui answered calmly:

"My lord, for breakfast today we have prepared pork and green onion stuffed buns, shrimp dumplings, sesame cakes, Ruyi rolls, soft and sweet rice porridge, milk, and a few refreshing side dishes."

Qing He nodded and said, "Yeah, not bad. But let's add a dish of lotus custard. Father and mother always like it."

Liu Cui quickly responded, "Yes, Princess, I will give the order right away."

Qin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Liu. Please move faster and don't keep everyone waiting."

Liu Cui replied, "Don't worry, Princess. Everything will be fine." After saying that, she turned around to make arrangements.

After a while, Qingli, Qingyue, Shangguan Jing, and Baili Ye finished their morning exercises, washed up, and came to the dining hall. At this time, the meal in the kitchen was also ready.

The cooks were quick and skillful, and soon, delicious breakfast dishes were neatly placed on the table.

Freshly baked steaming buns, with thin skin and large fillings, are filled with the aroma of pork and green onions;

The crystal clear shrimp dumplings with fresh and tender shrimp inside are delicious.

The sesame cake is extremely crispy, and the aroma goes straight into your nose;

The Ruyi roll has an exquisite shape and looks soft and tender;

The rice porridge is soft, glutinous and sweet, and the milk is mellow and rich;

The newly added hibiscus egg custard is even more smooth and delicious.

There were also plates of exquisite side dishes, pickled radish was crisp, sour and spicy;

The cold cucumber salad is refreshing and relieves greasiness;

The braised beef has a bright red color and distinct texture, making people salivate at the sight.

Everyone took their seats one by one, and the breakfast on the table exuded a charming aroma.

Qin said with a smile on her face: "Everyone, enjoy it while it's hot. You must have worked hard in the morning exercise."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks. For a moment, the only sounds in the dining room were the clinking of cutlery and the sound of people praising them.

Qing Yue's mouth was stuffed full, and he said incoherently: "Mom, I'm starving. I can eat a lot."

"I'm also so hungry that I'm about to faint. I want to eat shrimp dumplings."

Qin gently served the two people food, "Okay, you are growing up now, morning exercises consume a lot of energy, eat more."

"Thank you, mother." Qingli and Qingyue said in unison.

"Eat quickly, Qinghe, Ye'er, you guys eat too."

"Okay, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and fourth uncle can eat too." Baili Ye replied.

"Fourth Uncle, did you rest well last night?" Qinghe looked at Chu Laosi.

Chu Lao Si smiled and replied, "Very good, this Prince Jing's Mansion is comfortable and pleasant, and I slept very soundly last night."

Shangguan Jing also said, "That's good. Everyone, eat quickly. We still have a lot of things to deal with after eating."

Everyone nodded and continued to enjoy their delicious breakfast.

Soon, most of the food on the table was eaten. Qing Yue touched his round belly and burped with satisfaction.

Qin smiled and scolded: "Look at you, kid, you have no rules."

Qing Yue stuck out his tongue mischievously, "It's so delicious, I couldn't help it."

Everyone laughed again, and the dining room was filled with warmth and harmony.

After dinner, Shangguan Jing, Baili Ye and Chu Laosi summoned everyone in the palace to the front yard for a lecture.

Shangguan Jing looked serious, frowned slightly, and said loudly:

"Everyone, since you have entered the palace of Prince Jing to work, your first priority should be to be loyal and not to betray your master.

The second is to follow the rules, to do one's job well and do one's job well;

Third, the people of the Jingwang Palace must not take advantage of their power to bully others and oppress the common people when they are outside.

If you are negligent or careless, I will not forgive you easily." He looked at everyone with dignity, with the aura of a prince.

Then he looked focused and serious as he continued, "This is my brother from Dasheng. From now on, he will also be the master of our palace. You can call him Fourth Master."

"Yes, I have met the Fourth Master."

Everyone followed suit and greeted Chu Lao Si.

Chu Lao Si put his hands behind his back. He felt a little uncomfortable being greeted by so many people, but he said seriously:

"Don't be so polite. From now on, you must follow the rules and keep your distance in everything you do and avoid causing trouble." He had a tense face and did not smile.

"Yes, Fourth Master."

Shangguan Jing walked to Baili Ye again and said to everyone, "This is my son-in-law, the war god of Dasheng, Prince Chen. He will be your master from now on."

Everyone bowed to Baili Ye again.

Baili Ye looked focused and said solemnly:

"The affairs of the palace are complicated, and we need everyone to work together to maintain the stability and prosperity of the palace. We must not do anything that would bring disgrace to the palace."

After hearing this, everyone bowed their heads and responded in unison.

Shangguan Jing, Baili Ye and Chu Laosi found a manager for the servants in the palace, made a division of labor, and then took the housekeeper to the study to discuss matters.

"Butler, how much assets are currently registered in our palace?"

The housekeeper reported the family's assets and said respectfully:

"Your Highness, the current assets of the palace mainly include several shops in the capital, thousands of acres of land outside the city, as well as two million taels of silver and various treasures and antiques in the palace." As he spoke, he handed over a detailed account book.

Shangguan Jing nodded slightly, took the account, and said as he looked through it, "Well, let me first talk about the business conditions of these stores."

The butler continued:

“Replying to the prince, there is a cloth shop in the palace that does pretty well;

Another restaurant has seen a decrease in customers recently;

There is also a grocery store with meager profits.

In addition, we also have a rouge shop in operation in our palace.

There are also some other shops that have been rented out." After saying this, he lowered his head slightly, waiting for the prince's instructions.

"Butler, are there any shops for sale next to these shops?" Baili Ye asked.

"Replying to Lord Chen, I need this old servant to inquire about it."

Shangguan Jing thought for a moment, put down the account, crossed his arms and said:

"Okay, you go back first. I will make a decision after discussing with Prince Chen and the Fourth Master."

"Yes." The butler responded and left.

"Old Four, Ye'er, what do you think we should do with these shops?" Shangguan Jing asked the two.

"Let's discuss this matter with my mother-in-law and Xiaohe later."

"Yes, yes, Qinghe has the best ideas in this regard. There will be no problem if we consult her."

Here, Qinghe and Qin gathered the people in the backyard and divided the work.

Qin looked dignified, raised her head slightly, and said slowly:

“Things in the backyard are not as complicated as those in the front yard, but they cannot be neglected.

Be polite and decent when dealing with others, and don't gossip.

Anyone who violates this rule will be punished. Sweeping, washing, sewing and other chores must be taken seriously." Her eyes were calm and firm.
