It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

After the late emperor passed away, Ruirui, as a grandson, should have shown up.

Rui Rui was a little confused, and her delicate face, which was four or five points similar to Ji Yunqing, couldn't help but wrinkle: "Mother, what is death?"

Ji Yunqing glanced at the young eunuch, who tactfully pretended not to hear him.

She quickly squatted down to answer the little guy's questions.

"Passing away means that your royal grandfather is gone, has left this world, and his body has been placed in a long, small box called a coffin. You have lost a relative."

She had to speak more bluntly so that Ruirui could understand and feel sad.

This little guy is too young to fake his emotions like adults.

In this situation, everyone must be paying attention to the new emperor and his offspring.

Ruirui must not mess up on this matter.

After thinking for a while, Ji Yunqing quickly explained some precautions, and finally said: "If you encounter something you don't understand, you go to your father, understand?"

Rarity nodded.

Watching Ruirui's small body gradually walking away, Ji Yunqing's face became more solemn than ever.

Xuancao thought she was worried about Ruirui, so she couldn't help but comfort her: "Master, don't worry, the Fourth Young Master is always smart, there will be no problem."

Ji Yunqing shook his head and said softly: "This time is different"

It’s not that this time is different, it’s that everything in the future will be different.

King Zhao's identity suddenly changed and he became the new emperor. How could the situation be the same in the future?

What worries Ji Yunqing the most is that Prince Zhao once said that Ruirui would kill his father in the future. As Prince Zhao, his attitude gradually improved, but what about as an emperor?

As we all know, emperors are suspicious.

Once things get to that point.

Will she and Ruirui still have a chance to survive by then?

At this time, Ji Yunqing couldn't help but sigh.

Why didn’t King Lie choose Ruirui as the child?

Yes, Ji Yunqing felt that King Lie was most likely infertile, so he chose one from King Zhao's children.

As for the eight children, Ji Yunqing did not forget one thing: before those children were born, King Lie once brought Zeng Cheng to King Zhao's Mansion.

At that time, she saw Zeng Cheng's belly once and it seemed that the period was not right.

So those children were most likely not his.

So the question is, King Lie didn't have any children. I don't need to explain why, right?

Since we know that they are not his children anymore, it is normal for him to pick a smarter one that suits his taste.

Now is not the time to think about so many things. The day after Ruirui was called away, Ji Yunqing was finally released from house arrest.

Hearing the news, Ji Yunqing couldn't believe it.

I couldn't help but ask, "Is this true?"

Why did King Zhao suddenly come to his senses?

The one who came to deliver the imperial edict was Eunuch Shi. After not seeing him for a while, he looked visibly haggard, but in good spirits.

"Don't worry, Concubine Ji, this is true. The Emperor gave the order himself."

Since the new emperor has not had time to confer titles on his harem, they are still called by the same names as before.

Ji Yunqing felt relieved.

However, she soon understood why she was suddenly released from house arrest.

Although the princess has recovered from her illness, she was seriously injured and now needs to cheer up and take care of various matters.

Arranging various court ladies to keep vigil for the late emperor was a big job, and there were various other miscellaneous matters. Even with the assistance of concubines, it was still very busy.

What makes it even more difficult is that they are not very familiar with the affairs of the palace.

After Ji Yunqing left the courtyard, he was asked to temporarily take over the affairs of the palace.

The requirement is that there shouldn't be any major mistakes.

But now that King Zhao has become the new emperor, many people outside are trying their best to take advantage of the opportunity, and many people also want to take this opportunity to send their daughters to him.

There are also women from various courtyards in the mansion who are ready to make some moves.

This is not an easy job.

Ji Yunqing was confused by this: "..."

We haven't seen each other for a year, what are you all so excited about?

Ji Yunqing forced herself to be patient and listened to Nanny Lou, who had stayed behind to help the princess, tell her the whole story.

Sitting in the small flower hall in the princess's main courtyard, from the time she arrived in the early morning until the afternoon, Nanny Lou never stopped talking.

This is just a small part of it.

Ji Yunqing touched her hungry stomach and interrupted her directly: "Madame Lou, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

Nanny Lou wanted to continue, she looked at Ji Yunqing in front of her with disappointment.

I really don't understand why the princess would hand over the affairs of the mansion to her?

He is so unmotivated.

"Concubine Ji, you don't know that there are so many twists and turns in this mansion. You have to learn them well. It won't be mastered in a short time."

Ji Yunqing perfunctorily replied, "Yes, Madam, let's eat."

While eating, Nanny Lou didn't stop either.

She drank a cup of tea in one breath and continued her explanation with great energy.

How to treat the ladies in the mansion, how to take care of the young masters and ladies, how to treat the servants, how to face the housekeepers in the mansion, how to distribute the various allowances, and the various things that have been sent to the farm during the recent autumn harvest.

There were often disputes in the various courtyards of the mansion. How to mediate them? We had to find out carefully whether two people were being unreasonable and should each be given fifty lashes, or whether one side was wrongly accusing the other.

There are also things to note about the palace’s external social interactions.

The more Nanny Lou spoke, the more excited she became. She felt a little smug in her heart. She said so much in one breath. What could Concubine Ji understand?

Being a housekeeper is no small matter, and I don’t believe Concubine Ji can do it well.

In the end, you still have to rely on her!

After Ji Yunqing finished his meal, his mind became clear.

She began to issue orders: "From now on, no one in the hospital is allowed to go out, and everyone is under house arrest."

Instantly reduce chores by 30%.

Aunt Lou: “???”

Her expression froze. What the hell are you talking about?

Ji Yunqing didn't look at Madam Lou, and continued, "The quotas for each courtyard remain the same. If anyone in the mansion is found to have secretly taken... The manor has always been short of labor."

"Regarding matters outside the palace, the palace is closed during this period. No one is allowed to go out except for external purchases."

"And all the young men and young ladies from each courtyard, except for a few older ones who are with the prince and not in the mansion, all others must stay with their mothers and are not allowed to go out."

Ji Yunqing said, and then looked at the confused Lou Ma: "What about the young princess and the seventh young master?"

Thinking of this, she also remembered the child left by Concubine Cen, who was now being raised by Concubine Wen: "What about the Sixth Young Master?"

Madam Lou answered subconsciously: "The little princess is in the palace with the princess at this time, the seventh son is being kept in the courtyard, and the sixth son is also in Concubine Wen's courtyard."

After saying this, she looked at Ji Yunqing warily. Was she going to take this opportunity to attack the Seventh Young Master?

Even if she risked her life, she would never let the vicious Concubine Ji harm the Seventh Young Master.

Ji Yunqing ignored Madam Lou's expression and nodded: "We should have kept reliable candidates and sent a message to each courtyard.

If the masters and young masters and young ladies have a headache or fever, they must report it in time and the palace doctor will diagnose and treat it in time."

"Also, I will secretly send some people to check various places in the mansion from time to time. If I find someone taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, I will not let them off easily!"
