After traveling through time, I married a male princess

Ye Yanxing put away the hanging lamp, then removed the ice bars before turning around and returning to bed.

After making sure Fu Qianrun was lying down properly, he waved his hand to extinguish the candle.

It was a dark and windy night. The autumn wind outside was blowing the weeds in the yard left and right, while the people inside were sleeping together.

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

The night watchmen on the street were doing their duty diligently.

In the morning, light came into the room and Ye Yanxing opened his eyes.

Fu Qianrun beside him was still sleeping soundly. He quietly lifted the quilt, changed his shoes and clothes, and went out.

The maid who was on night watch in the outer room heard the noise and immediately arranged water for Ye Yanxing to wash.

Seeing Ye Yanxing coming out, the maid was about to bow, but Ye Yanxing raised his hand to stop her and signaled her not to make any sound.

The maid nodded and said no more, just standing quietly by the side waiting.

After washing up, Ye Yanxing ran in the yard, then did some boxing before ending his morning exercise.

Ye Yanxing was covered in sweat and felt sticky. He shook his head and was about to go back to take a shower.

When I turned around, I saw Fu Qianrun leaning against the pillar in the corridor.

"Good morning, ma'am." Ye Yanxing greeted him.

"Yeah." Fu Qianrun responded, muttering to himself, is this how people greet each other in the morning in Ye Yanxing's hometown?

"Ma'am, wait for me to finish my bath and have breakfast with you!"

"Yeah." Fu Qianrun still responded indifferently.

After getting the response, Ye Yanxing went to take a shower excitedly.

Fu Qianrun didn't look away until his back disappeared. Then he smiled. He was just a child. I wonder how his parents raised him? If he were here, he would have been gnawed to pieces.

Fu Qianrun shook his head and walked towards the dining room alone.

Not long after, Ye Yanxing also came to the dining hall in a refreshed outfit.

As soon as he sat down, the maid served breakfast.

Before, Ye Yanxing had instructed that food should not be wasted and that there was no need to prepare so many dishes for each meal. For him and Fu Qianrun, four dishes and one soup at most were enough, and the quantity also had to be arranged accordingly.

There is no way. The end of the world is too difficult and saving food has become a consciousness in his bones.

Although Fu Qianrun didn't understand his behavior, he didn't interfere.

After breakfast, Ye Yanxing called the housekeeper.

"From today on, all affairs of the palace will be in charge of you, young master." Ye Yanxing sat in his seat and gave instructions to the butler.

The housekeeper glanced at Fu Qianrun who was calmly drinking tea and said, "Yes, I will bring you the key to the accounting office and the account book later."

"All matters." Ye Yanxing reminded the butler again, "Young Master's orders are my orders. He represents me."

"This..." The butler was puzzled. What did the prince mean?

Fu Qianrun stopped scraping the tea with the teacup lid.

"Unless it is necessary, just report everything to the young master."

"promise."

The housekeeper left with a heavy heart, wondering all the way whether Fu Qianrun had given their prince some kind of drug to fascinate him. Why did he hand over the housekeeper's power in such a short time?

If Fu Qianrun ever has evil intentions in the future, won't the prince be powerless to resist?

Thinking of this, the housekeeper became even more worried and sighed all the way.

"Uncle Yang, what's wrong with you? Is the prince in trouble?" A servant who was familiar with the butler couldn't help asking when he saw the butler looking worried.

The housekeeper shook his head, sighed, and went back to the accounting office to get the account book.

The servant was left scratching his head in confusion.

"Sir, this is the palace's account book for the past five years. Please take a look." The butler brought the account book and handed it to Fu Qianrun.

"Ah."

Fu Qianrun picked up the account books and checked them one by one, but he didn't finish until the afternoon.

"Don't look at it." Ye Yanxing couldn't help but interrupt him, "Just look at the items currently in the warehouse. Don't worry about the previous ones. I used them all myself anyway."

"No, some of them are gifts from the emperor. They must be kept properly and not lost." Fu Qianrun brushed his hand away and continued to look at the account book.

"..."

Ye Yanxing was unable to persuade him and stood by dejectedly.

"Your Highness, the local official has sent you a visiting card. Do you want to meet him?" the butler reported to Ye Yanxing.

"Let's wait until Madam is done with her work." Ye Yanxing answered casually.

"This..." The butler hesitated to speak.

"What? Do you want me to accommodate them?" Ye Yanxing stuffed him.

"Yes." The butler bowed to Ye Yanxing and did not mention the matter again. He waited quietly by the side for Fu Qianrun.

When Fu Qianrun looked at the account book, he would ask the housekeeper if he didn't understand something.

It took Fu Qianrun five days to sort out the account books, and then he spent another day counting the items in the warehouse.

During these few days, Ye Yanxing was bored and followed Fu Qianrun around, helping him run around.

On the tenth day after arriving in Yong'an City, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun finally met with four county governors and four county magistrates.

In the reception room, Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun sat at the head seats.

"See you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

When several adults saw Fu Qianrun and Ye Yanxing sitting together, they saluted and frowned.

Fu Qianrun has married into the palace and belongs to the harem. It is really inappropriate to discuss public matters with them here. How can this be? Why did the prince agree to let him be here?

This is the unanimous thought in several people's minds right now.

Ye Yanxing just watched their changing expressions quietly without calling them to get up.

Ye Yanxing waited until their old knees were sore from kneeling before he slowly called them to get up.

"Your Highness, is it inappropriate for the princess to be here to discuss official matters?" One of the old men spoke first.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong. If you have any problem, tell him. I don't care." Ye Yanxing put a bite of dessert into his mouth.

The eight people thought they had heard wrongly and all looked up at the seat above.

"Yes, you heard it right." This time Ye Yanxing crossed his legs directly, "Why? Do you have any objections?"

"this......"

Several people exchanged glances with their left and right, and finally saluted together and said, "We will follow the prince's order."

"Well, now each of you tell us about the situation in the area under your jurisdiction." Ye Yanxing nodded.

"promise."

"Your Highness..."

"Call me sir."

"Ah?" The interrupted official looked confused.

"Call the princess 'Young Master.'" Ye Yanxing emphasized again.

"Oh, Your Majesty, everything is normal in Fuqiu County now, and no adverse situation has occurred."

"Everything is normal? When we were coming here, the fields we passed by were all barren, with no crops planted on them. Why?" Fu Qianrun asked.

"This," the governor of Fuqiu County was sweating profusely, "My lord, you don't know that there have been consecutive droughts in the past two years. Many people have no harvest of their crops. The environment is so bad that it is really impossible to grow crops!"

"Has it been reported?"

“It has been reported.”

"Has the court come up with a solution?"

"Yes..." The county magistrate lowered his head even more, "but the money allocated by the court is really a drop in the bucket for many people! Due to the continuous drought, the price of food has risen several times. Usually a pound of brown rice costs three cents, but today the lowest price of brown rice has reached eight cents! The people really can't afford it!"

After saying that, Fu Qianrun and Ye Yanxing looked at the other people at the same time.

"The same is true for Baiyun County."

"The same is true for Pingyang County."

"The same is true for Feilong County."

The others bowed their heads in response.

After learning some other information, Fu Qianrun called the butler to arrange for several officials to stay in the palace.

The butler took the order and left the reception room with his men.
