The King of Yan held his little girl in his arms and walked around the yard leisurely. He and his little girl looked at the green seedlings in the vegetable garden. It was not until the wet nurse came and said that it was time for the baby to be fed that the King of Yan reluctantly handed his little girl over.

It was not yet time for dinner when the King of Yan came to the side hall. Shen Wei was still in the room looking at the account book, occasionally frowning her delicate eyebrows, and occasionally smiling.

"Your Highness." When Shen Wei heard the noise, she quickly put down the account book in her hand and ran over happily.

Shen Wei held the Prince of Yan's arm, her face full of joy and admiration: "Thanks to your method, the two managers of the manor finally handed over the real account books."

Prince Yan raised his thin lips.

A sense of accomplishment welled up in my heart.

He took Shen Wei's hand and sat down: "Being the head of a household is tedious and tiring. If one day you don't want to do it, I will let others take care of the household affairs for you."

Shen Wei's eyes widened, and she said coquettishly, "That won't do. I don't feel comfortable leaving it to anyone else."

If she had to give up the housekeeper power that she had worked so hard to get, Shen Wei would be so anxious that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

She now controls the property of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, knows the flow of all the funds in the palace, and controls dozens of shops and acres of fertile land in Yanjing. Using the power of the Prince of Yan's Mansion, she can expand her business. In the future, she will do business in Yanjing under the name of the Prince of Yan, and it will be almost unimpeded.

It can be predicted that a steady stream of money will flow into her piggy bank in the future.

Becoming rich is just around the corner.

Shen Wei is not a good person. In order to achieve her goal, she will use everyone around her to pave the way. She can act, she can play dumb, she can do anything.

Life is just a play. No matter who you meet, you are acting.

Shen Wei looked at Prince Yan affectionately and said sincerely, "I will definitely manage the palace well so that Your Majesty will have no worries. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it doesn't matter, as long as Your Majesty can have fewer worries and anxieties."

Prince Yan held Shen Wei's hand tightly, his heart filled with emotion.

Apart from Shen Wei, who else would treat him wholeheartedly?

The candlelight in the room was bright, and Shen Wei's bright and beautiful face came into view, with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes. The King of Yan embraced Shen Wei, leaned down, and kissed her.

Dinner time was forced to be delayed, and Shen Wei didn’t even get to touch the account book tonight.

...

The princess had neglected the affairs of the inner house for many years, and the butler of wealth and nobility had to take on multiple duties, so there were many bad debts left in the palace. Shen Wei spent a lot of energy to sort out the bad debts one by one.

But Shen Wei did not slack off at all, instead she was eager to try.

She likes challenges.

In the past, he was in charge of a small Liuli Pavilion, and now he is in charge of a huge palace. No matter how things change, the core management skills remain the same.

Occasionally, Shen Wei mismanaged the business and made some minor mistakes, but King Yan would tolerantly turn a blind eye.

On this day, the Prince of Yan had just returned to the palace and was about to go to the Glazed Pavilion as usual. Nanny Liu rushed out from the middle of the road and blocked the Prince of Yan's way: "This old servant pays respects to the prince. In half a month, it will be the sixtieth birthday of the princess's biological mother. The princess wants to meet the prince and discuss the choice of birthday gifts with him."

The King of Yan didn't want to pay any attention to it.

But when Nanny Liu mentioned the princess's mother, the distinguished old lady of the Tantai family, out of filial piety, the Prince of Yan had to turn around and head towards Kunyu Courtyard.

The princess was still under house arrest to recuperate, but the flowers and plants outside Kunyu Courtyard were neatly trimmed. That was Shen Wei's work. After Shen Wei took over the family, she allocated money to renovate the damaged walls of the palace, and sent servants to trim the flowers and plants on the main roads regularly.

Even the remote southwestern courtyard, the dilapidated courtyard where the unfavored concubines lived, was renovated, with the walls and roofs repaired.

The outside of Kunyu Courtyard was clean and tidy. When Prince Yan stepped into the courtyard, the rich sandalwood incense from the Buddhist shrine hit him in the face, which made people dizzy after smelling it for a long time.

"I, your servant, pay my respects to His Majesty." The princess came out, wearing gray-brown clothes and looking haggard, and knelt down to pay her respects.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the princess had several more wrinkles on her face and looked quite tired. She looked at the King of Yan with tears in her eyes.

Very pitiful.

The King of Yan couldn't help but frown. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the princess, the King of Yan couldn't help but feel a bit complicated. Was the punishment for the princess too much?

After entering the room, Nanny Liu served hot tea to Prince Yan. Prince Yan took a sip and said slowly, "Do you know your mistake?"

The princess lowered her eyes, tears falling down: "Your Majesty, I recite sutras in front of the Buddha every day, praying for my deceased child. I already know my mistake."

The princess gave in for once, and the knot in the king's heart was relieved a little. After all, they were a loving couple, and as long as the princess knew her mistakes and could correct them, the king was willing to give her a chance to start over.

Seeing that the Prince of Yan was moved, the princess continued, "Your Highness, I made a mistake. You and the Queen Mother have punished me with house arrest, and I understand. But it is inappropriate for Shen, a peasant girl, to be the head of the household."

Prince Yan paused holding the teacup.

The princess said, "Although I am in the courtyard, I also heard that Shen had the guards beat up the head of the manor a few days ago. The day before yesterday, she also sold out two servants who made minor mistakes. If this kind of housekeeper continues for a long time, it will definitely -"

Before the princess could finish her words, Prince Yan had already put the teacup back on the table.

The tea sloshed and splashed.

The atmosphere inside is depressing.

The princess was panicking, not knowing what she had said wrong. She had finally invited the King of Yan to come, took the initiative to admit her mistakes, pointed out the mistakes made by Shen Wei in managing the household, and hoped that the King of Yan would return the power of housekeeper to her.

But King Yan was actually angry?

Prince Yan stood up, his eyes no longer showing any emotion, he said coldly: "You are recuperating in Kunyu Hospital, so you are well-informed."

The princess hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Shen is not good at managing the household. It is a fact that she beat the steward and sold out the servants!"

The King of Yan simply didn't want to look at the Princess's stupid face anymore. Beating the butler and selling out the servants were all the housekeeping strategies that the King of Yan taught Shen Wei.

If some servants disobeyed the rules, they should be beaten or sold. The combination of kindness and severity demonstrated the majesty of the palace.

The King of Yan turned and left, leaving behind one sentence: "You should worry about giving your mother a birthday gift. If you stretch your hand too far, it will break easily."

The princess froze in place.

Watching the majestic figure disappear, the princess' knees weakened and she staggered back into the chair.

The princess was puzzled and could only grit her teeth in hatred: "What on earth did Shen feed the prince? The prince actually indulged her in every way."

The princess was unwilling to accept this.

It was already dark, and after a hasty dinner, the princess could not sleep the whole night. She kept thinking about how to take back the housekeeper's power.

Being in charge of household chores is the dignity of the mistress.

At dawn, Madam Liu walked into the room with an expressionless face and told the tossing and turning princess: "Master, Xiang'er wants to see you."
