A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Xia Taoyuan looked at Ye Yiyi and said, "Let's slowly think of a solution."

At this time, Yingge, who was guarding outside the door, suddenly said, "Princess Xiang can tell the housekeeper directly that Prince Xiang always goes to the room of the wet nurse's daughter, and everyone knows about their affair. Princess is worried that her dowry will be taken away by that woman, so she wants to move it to her own room for safekeeping, so that she can dispose of it in the future."

After hearing what Yingge said, Xia Taoyuan slapped her head and cursed herself for being stupid. She forgot that in ancient times, dowry belonged only to its owner. She used her own era as a substitute, and after marriage, dowry belonged to the common property of the couple. She thought so and led Ye Yiyi astray. Fortunately, Yingge reminded her.

"I was confused. Yingge is right. The dowry belongs to you, sister. It is completely yours. You are still the princess and the mistress of this palace. Just tell the housekeeper to move it to your room and find a chance to move it out." Xia Taoyuan said.

Ye Yiyi laughed and said, "You are not the only one who is confused. I am confused too. The dowry is mine, and I can spend it however I want."

In this way, Xia Taoyuan and Ye Yiyi also put aside their worries.

The two chatted happily for a long time. When Xia Taoyuan left, Ye Yiyi was really reluctant to let her go.

Xia Taoyuan saw the genuine emotions she expressed, and felt warm in her heart, because she had a new family member.

After returning to the palace, Dai'er told him that Prince Nan and the Second Miss had both arrived, and they left together again. Xia Taoyuan smiled, it seemed that the two were really inseparable.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Xingluo should be back soon, so Xia Taoyuan asked the maids to serve the food and let them eat.

Not long after, Chu Xingluo came back. When Xia Taoyuan heard the noise and looked up, she saw Chu Xingluo with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of pampering and tenderness.

Seeing him like this, Xia Taoyuan guessed that he had hidden something for her, but she pretended not to know and said with a smile, "Wash your hands and eat."

Chu Xingluo said gently: "Don't worry, look, I bought this for you." As he said that, he stretched out his hand from behind and raised it in front of Xia Taoyuan.

"Wow, candied haws!" Xia Taoyuan exclaimed in surprise. She even felt that she was exaggerating. Chu Xingluo smiled slightly when he saw that she liked it.

Xia Taoyuan bit off a hawthorn, then passed it to Chu Xingluo for him to eat as well. Chu Xingluo took a small bite and said, "Today I went to all the restaurants and hotels on the street to ask, and none of them sold chocolate cake, strawberry ice cream, or red bean oat milk tea. They all said they had never even heard of it."

There was obvious regret in his tone as he spoke later.

Xia Taoyuan's nose felt sore, and she threw herself into Chu Xingluo's arms, saying in a heavy nasal voice: "You big fool! Those are not things from this world. I forgot to tell you that they were only in my previous home."

Chu Xingluo said: "I saw you wanted to eat it, so I went to look for it. What if you want to eat it again in the future?"

Xia Taoyuan raised her little face and said, "I'll tell you if I want to eat. As long as you bring me a string of candied haws, I won't think about those things."

After saying that, she pulled Chu Xingluo to sit at the dining table to eat.

Xia Taoyuan heard from Qingyun that many people outside were saying that Madam Wei treated the Second Miss Wei as her own daughter and doted on her. She also said that Madam Wei had said in the Prime Minister's Residence that the Second Miss Wei was the legitimate Second Miss. Anyone who disrespected the Second Miss would be punished according to the family rules and kicked out of the Prime Minister's Residence! There were also rumors that General Lu Ting and Madam Lu both liked the Second Miss Wei very much and were ready to adopt her as their adopted daughter.

After hearing this, Xia Taoyuan smiled with satisfaction. Everything was going in a good direction.

Prince Xiang's Mansion.

Chu Xinghai came to Ye Yiyi's room at night.

When Ye Yiyi saw him coming, she had a blank expression on her face and didn't say anything. She turned around and continued to eat her meal.

Chu Xinghai was stunned for a moment. In the past, when he came over, Ye Yiyi would always surround him and ask about his well-being and even try to please him no matter how uncomfortable she was. But today, she remained indifferent and continued to sit there and eat.

"What is Wei Zhiying doing here?" Chu Xinghai pulled a chair and sat down.

"What can I do? Just laugh at me. You mock me by saying that I'm poor and skinny and look like I can't even afford to eat, and you even suspect that you don't give me food." Ye Yiyi talked nonsense.

Chu Xinghai's eyes flickered slightly, he naturally didn't believe it, but when he thought about it again, that woman could indeed say such a thing.

"Why should you take that crazy woman's words to heart?" Chu Xinghai said.

Ye Yiyi snorted and asked, "I wonder what the King of Xiang is here for today?"

Chu Xinghai smiled and said, "I'm in my princess' room. What do you want to ask me?"

Chu Xinghai also noticed that after not seeing Ye Yiyi for a few days, her face looked rosy and she was no longer as listless as before.

"Haha, I thought Prince Xiang forgot how to get to my room?" Ye Yiyi said sarcastically.

Chu Xinghai pretended not to hear and reached out to pull Ye Yiyi's hand, but Ye Yiyi shook it away.

A trace of surprise flashed across Chu Xinghai's eyes, and Ye Yiyi said, "Don't delay my meal!" Now in Ye Yiyi's heart, nothing is more important than her meal.

"Eating is more important than me?" Chu Xinghai looked at Ye Yiyi in disbelief and asked.

Ye Yiyi picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she said, "Yes!"

Chu Xinghai was so angry that he stood up and left.

Ye Yiyi was indeed determined to change, and she forced herself to eat more and move more every day. Just now when Chu Xinghai came, she tried to restrain herself, fearing that she would be soft-hearted and go around Chu Xinghai again. Although she said she wanted to leave him, how could she let go of the relationship of several years?

Tears welled up in her eyes, but Ye Yiyi raised her head to prevent them from falling. She comforted herself in her heart, Ye Yiyi, have some backbone, he doesn't care about you, he's not worth your lingering!

In the following days, Ye Yiyi would appear around the housekeeper whenever she had something to do. She seemed to be concerned about the situation in the mansion, but in fact she was trying to get close to him. She also wanted to let the servants see that she, the princess, was still alive and would live better and better.

Until Xia Taoyuan sent the four maids, Ye Yiyi went to the housekeeper again and said that her original maids had reached the age of marriage and they also wanted to leave the palace. As a princess, she naturally could not treat them badly and had to prepare a dowry for each of them. After they left, she naturally bought a few more maids, which required a large sum of money. She wanted to use her dowry to pay for it.

The housekeeper didn't think much about it and thought the princess was right, so he took the servants to get it for Ye Yiyi. Ye Yiyi also said that she would learn to manage the palace in the future and would definitely use a lot of money. In order to avoid gossip, she wanted to move her dowry to her room for easy access.

Of course, she couldn't help but act pitiful and said that she was actually afraid that her dowry would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.

The butler was a loyal and upright person. He was not used to the fact that the King of Xiang always ignored the princess and went to the nurse's daughter's room. In addition, he sympathized with the princess's experience before, so he agreed without thinking too much.

Ye Yiyi didn't expect it to be so smooth. To express her gratitude, she gave the butler two hundred taels of silver. The butler couldn't refuse and accepted it. Ye Yiyi took out another two hundred taels of silver and asked the butler to divide it among the servants. The servants were very touched by the silver. In addition, the butler said a lot of good things about Ye Yiyi, so the servants naturally wanted to repay the princess and serve her.

Ye Yiyi learned from Xia Taoyuan that if she wanted to gain a firm foothold in the palace, she must have her own people, and if she didn't have any, she had to bribe them.

When the maids bought by Xia Taoyuan arrived, Ye Yiyi drove out the two maids she brought from her mother's home and the two maids who served her in the palace.

Xia Taoyuan said to the four new maids, "This is the Xiang Wangfei, the mistress of the Xiang Wangfu, and your master. From now on, everything about the Xiang Wangfei will be the responsibility of you four. If anyone in the mansion offends the princess, do you know what to do?"

One of the little girls said, "I know. We will protect the princess even if we die, no matter who the other party is!"

Ye Yiyi was very touched. Xia Taoyuan said, "From now on, you will follow the princess's surname, Ye."

Xia Taoyuan named them Ye Jixiang, Ye Ruyi, Ye Kaixin, and Ye Huanxi. The maids happily accepted their names.

Ye Yiyi pulled Xia Taoyuan aside and whispered, "I know we are sisters, but it's too painful to keep it in my heart. I want to say, Zhiying, thank you, thank you so much. If you hadn't woken me up, I would still be a walking corpse."

Xia Taoyuan helped her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "Remember, always put yourself first. It's okay to be a little selfish." Ye Yiyi nodded in agreement.
