After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Soon, a nanny in her forties wearing a dark purple jacket came over and said respectfully, "Crown Princess, are you calling me a servant?"

Yan Qingwan nodded, pointed to the account books in a box and asked, "What are these account books?"

Nanny Li stepped forward and took a look, then replied, "Your Majesty, these are the accounts of the Eastern Palace, including the expenses for food, clothing, and interpersonal relationships."

Yan Qingwan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why are there so many?"

Nanny Li explained, "My lady, this is because the Eastern Palace has a large population and needs to entertain officials and nobles from all sides, so the expenses are relatively high."

After hearing this, Yan Qingwan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She knew that as the Crown Princess, she needed to take on the responsibility of managing the Eastern Palace, but faced with such a huge account, she still felt a little overwhelmed.

So she asked again: "Is there any pattern in the way these accounts are recorded?"

Nanny Li patiently answered, "Your Majesty, these accounts are recorded by month and item, and each entry has a detailed description and voucher. As long as you read carefully, you will understand the financial situation of the Eastern Palace."

Yan Qingwan nodded to show that he understood, and his mood relaxed.

Then she asked some questions about the people and affairs of the Eastern Palace, and Nanny Li answered them one by one.

Finally, Yan Qingwan felt that he had a preliminary understanding of the Eastern Palace, so he said, "I hope that Madam Li will bear with me in the future regarding these matters of the account books."

When Nanny Li heard this, she hurriedly said respectfully, "This is what I should do. Crown Princess, just rest assured."

Yan Qingwan hummed casually and let Nanny Li leave.

When Zhong Chengyi saw this, he nodded secretly in his heart.

I sigh that the Crown Princess is really good at ordering people around.

When this Nanny Li was in the Eastern Palace, she was an expert in managing accounts.

She was efficient and organized, and her accounts were clear and understandable, so no one dared to question her.

Now he has been assigned to manage the warehouse, and he is making full use of the resources.

After coming to his senses, he lowered his head, took out a bunch of keys from his arms and handed them to Yan Qingwan, saying respectfully: "Crown Princess, this is the key to the East Palace storehouse."

Yan Qingwan looked at the bunch of keys in front of him.

After a moment's silence, he reached out and took it.

As I heard the clear and pleasant sound, I suddenly felt it was a little hot.

This, you give her all the keys to the warehouse?

Do you trust her so much?

She thought of the teachings her mother and grandmother gave her before she got married.

Yan Qingwan nodded calmly and said, "I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Zhong."

Zhong Chengyi heard this and said respectfully: "This is what I should do. Your Highness has asked me to do it. I will leave now."

Yan Qingwan nodded after hearing this.

Watching the other person walk away, Yan Qingwan looked at the keychain in her hand again, then handed it to the maid beside her and said, "Bai Lu, please put it away for me."

Bai Lu quickly nodded in response and then stepped forward to take it.

After Zhong Chengyi left the main courtyard, he went directly to the study to complete his work.

At this time, Si Jinchen was sitting at the desk, carefully handling the documents in his hands.

Hearing the knock on the door, he said without even looking up, "Come in."

Zhong Chengyi walked into the study and saw Si Jinchen's busy figure. He said softly, "Your Highness, this old servant has already delivered the gift to the Crown Princess."

Upon hearing this, Si Jinchen put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Zhong Chengyi, and asked in a light tone: "Did the Crown Princess accept it?"

Zhong Chengyi smiled and replied, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess accepted it and she seems to be in a good mood."

After hearing this, Si Jinchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded gently, and said in a deep voice: "That's good, go down."

Zhong Chengyi bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Highness."

After Zhong Chengyi left, Si Jinchen picked up the pen again and continued to deal with the documents on the table, but his eyes drifted to the envelope beside him from time to time.

The last time there was a serious flood in the Huaihe River area, many people were affected.

Thanks to his recommendation and that of some officials, the emperor sent Gu Ci, the son of the Duke of Zheng, and Zhao Chengjing, the son of the Minister of Justice, to the disaster-stricken areas to control the flood.

However, the news that came back this time was shocking.

According to reports, officials in the Huaihe River region have always condoned their subordinates in oppressing the people, and even formed gangs to embezzle and accept bribes during the disaster relief process.

These actions not only brought great suffering to the local people, but also caused serious damage to the reputation of the court.

In addition, most of the officials in the disaster-stricken areas of the Huaihe River actually wanted to drag Zhao Chengjing and Gu Ci, who were sent by the emperor to control the flood, into the disaster.

This shows that these people are really obsessed with money and profit to the extreme.

Fortunately, Zhao Chengjing and Gu Ci were both very intelligent and were not deceived by their conspiracy.

On the contrary, they dealt with those officials on the surface, but secretly collected evidence of their corruption and bribery, and sent people to send it back to the capital at full speed.

Si Jinchen could imagine how furious his father would be when he heard the news.

In addition, the two people carried out disaster relief properly and took effective measures in a timely manner, which prevented the disaster situation from further deteriorating and achieved significant improvements.

This matter was undoubtedly handled very beautifully, and it also proved the abilities of both Zhao Chengjing and Gu Ci.

Thinking of this, Si Jinchen couldn't help but nodded secretly.

It seems that these two friends of her third brother Awan are indeed very capable.

When they return to the capital, I will be able to say a few good words about them in front of my father.

······

Yan Qingwan sat in the west wing and carefully checked the account books in the warehouse.

When she felt her neck begin to ache, she slowly raised her head and looked out the window, and asked casually, "What time is it now?"

Bai Lu, who was standing nearby, quickly replied, "Crown Princess, it's already noon."

Yan Qingwan gently covered his mouth, yawned a little, and then said, "Your Highness, are you not done yet?"

Bai Lu shook her head and replied, "Not yet."

Yan Qingwan thought for a moment and asked again: "Has the prince had lunch yet?"

Bai Lu shook her head again and replied, "No."

After thinking for a moment, Yan Qingwan ordered, "Then ask the kitchen to send my portion of the meal to the small dining room next to the study. I will go over and eat with Your Highness."

Bai Lu nodded quickly to show that she understood, and quickly went downstairs to make arrangements.

Yan Qingwan stood up from his seat and stretched his limbs to relieve the discomfort caused by sitting for a long time.

Seeing this, Shi Yu immediately walked forward and helped her adjust the hem of her skirt.

Afterwards, Yan Qingwan walked out of the room with elegant steps and headed towards the study.
