"Princess, you are wise. The palace will hold Lantern Festival banquets, Dragon Boat Festival banquets, Mid-Autumn Festival banquets, etc. according to different solar terms."

Butler Lu was relieved to see the princess studying the queen's post over and over again. Their palace finally had a mistress to take care of the interactions between the female members of the family.

Therefore, he ordered people to send invitations to various mansions in Luo City to invite the imperial concubine to a banquet. In just a few days after the wedding, a basket of invitations had accumulated...

Shen Yu was very happy to study the unique VIs of each company at the beginning, but later she had a headache. These ladies were really idle. There were poetry appreciation meetings, tea tastings, treasure appraisal banquets, and painting collections... The most outrageous thing was that there was a colorful dress gathering? She was not one of the fairies, and she had never participated in the "Colorful Dress Song" campaign. Why post a message for her?

There are all kinds of reasons for holding banquets. Can't the ladies just stay at home and have fun alone?

After looking around, Shen Yu found that there were indeed not many people he wanted to go, but under Uncle Lu's expectant eyes, he still chose to return the invitation from Mrs. Li, the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

After all, they had helped her at the auction, so it would not be good not to go... Although on the night of the auction, she asked Zhan Chun to give apologies to the ladies who had won treasures, and Mrs. Li's family was even more generous.

After all, it was not convenient for her to go in person to express her gratitude, as the superiors did not want to see Prince Zhuo's Mansion interacting with the powerful and wealthy.

After looking at the account books for two days, Shen Yu couldn't help but draw the usual tables. He took Zhan Chun and the other two to reorganize all the data, using Arabic numerals.

This made the stewards in the palace very confused, but with the prince's previous instructions, they could only do as he said. But it must be said that the princess's accounting method is really useful!

When Shen Yu first came here, he was also tortured by these 壹贰叁肆伍六7... There are also different writing habits. For example, "壹" and "一" have two meanings. In ancient times, "壹" represents all and cannot be replaced by "一".

Also, ten should be written as 十, twenty should be written as 兒, thirty should be written as 卅, forty should be written as 卌, fifty should be written as 経… one hundred should be written as 百, two hundred should be written as 皕, and so on and so forth…

Later, when she had Zhan Qiu, she promoted the use of tables and Arabic numerals in all her businesses, so her people were very accustomed to it.

Yu Ling's business is owned by Zhan Qiu, and Yu Yi Fang is owned by the Ye family. She is only responsible for controlling the general direction. It is precisely because she was annoyed by these account books a few years ago that she didn't expect that she could not escape the fifteenth day after escaping the first day...

Si time, Yuelingzhai.

Shen Yu, who had been kept in the palace for a few days and had to look at the account books, was finally able to go out for some fresh air! !

She followed the agreement on the note and pretended to buy jewelry in the shop. Although the Shen family wanted to know who the person was, she already had an idea, fearing that there would always be exceptions.

Not long after, three ladies walked into the store. They were actually the Shen family’s concubines?

Aunt Huang was the first to see her. She said with a look of surprise, "Oh, meet Princess Zhuo. What a coincidence. Are you here to buy jewelry too?"

Aunt Huang followed her family to escape from Zhuocheng a few years ago. Her father was a scholar, and she was well-educated and well-mannered since she was a child. She never thought that she was born inferior to others. Instead, she had a natural affinity with the people of Zhuocheng, and this woman was their princess.

Shen Yu also knew her family's situation. On the day of her wedding, it was this Aunt Huang who secretly sent someone to inform Shen Yue about her replacement marriage, so she smiled and responded, "Yes, Aunt Huang, what a coincidence!"

Aunt Xu behind them nodded lightly as usual, as a greeting.

Seeing that they all knew each other, the waiter took them into the private room, and then took out a whole tray of the jade ornaments that Shen Yu needed, and said with a respectful smile, "Princess Zhuo, this is the best jade product in our store, please take a look!"

The reason why someone came to the Shen Mansion today was because Shen Nian wanted to reward pregnant Aunt Xu, and generously allowed her to buy whatever she wanted. The other two concubines just came along to shop.

Shen Yu looked at and observed the three people opposite him. He had to say that his scumbag father was very lucky. Aunt Xu was cold, Aunt Huang was enthusiastic, and Aunt Liu was a little petty, but she had delicate features.

She also noticed that the waiter was acting according to Aunt Xu's wishes, which made her more certain of her guess. She then asked tentatively, "I haven't had time to congratulate Aunt Xu on her pregnancy yet. How about giving me a chance today to send a token of my love to my future brothers and sisters?"

Aunt Xu raised her eyes, her expression still distant, but the smile in her eyes seemed to be answering her, "Thank you, Princess, for your kindness, but I am going out with my two sisters today, and it is not appropriate for me to accept the gift alone. How about we do it next time..."

It is indeed much easier to communicate with smart people. Shen Yu said indifferently, "How difficult is that? Please ask the waiter to take the two concubines to choose the jewelry they like. The bill will be on my side."

Aunt Liu was moved when she heard this. She didn't have many pieces of jewelry to begin with, but she had to suppress her excitement. After all, she had the lowest status and was the least favored here.

Aunt Huang was also tempted, but Zhuocheng was very poor. Didn't the princess have to sell her dowry? Would her money be enough? She also stole a glance at Shen Yu, but she didn't expect to be caught by her. She heard her say with a smile, "Don't worry, Aunt Huang, I may be richer than your prince~"

After hearing this, her face turned red, she bowed, reached out and pulled Aunt Liu and slipped out... Shen Yu also found it funny to see them like this. He never expected that Shen Grey Wolf actually liked the innocent little white rabbit?

Zhan Chun and Zhan Xia retreated to the door to guard. Shen Yu took a sip of tea and got straight to the point. "Time is running out. To make a long story short, why did Auntie help me?"

Aunt Xu didn't intend to hide it, but she said the best thing right away, "Because I gave my family a sterilizing drug when I got married, but I didn't expect that I would get pregnant, so I want to seek the princess's protection, and I am willing to exchange Shen Nian's secret."

"Puff cough cough cough..."

Shen Yu originally wanted to play a calm and composed role. It must be said that she was also aroused by Actor Lu's desire to act. However, she did not expect that she could not only fail to show off, but also spit out a mouthful of tea. That was very embarrassing.

Aunt Xu saw her like this, and there was a more genuine smile in her eyes. She said softly, "Princess, don't be surprised. I didn't come into the mansion voluntarily. I don't want to give birth to a child for him, and I don't want him to have a child. It's a pity that I only have medicine for women, otherwise I would have given it directly to Shen Nian. You may think that I am unfair to others, but I don't regret it! It's just that I didn't expect the medicine to be ineffective... Don't worry, I won't keep this child... It's just that I hope to use his life in exchange for Luo Yunmei's life..."

Until returning to Prince Zhuo's Mansion, Shen Yu was still thinking about Aunt Xu's resolute and cold expression. It seemed that she also had a deep hatred with Shen Nian and Luo Yunmei! !

I didn’t expect that the most ruthless person in the whole mansion was actually this gentle Aunt Xu, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so why not do it?

Looking at the idle prince who was leisurely sitting under the tree in her yard and drinking tea, she finally realized... She was not the real Princess Zhuo, so why should she really help him deal with the affairs of the palace! !

The palace was exceptionally quiet today; even the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze could be heard clearly. Lu Yingxing chuckled softly when he saw his wife coming towards him with a hum.

[Didn’t you agree to only help with the business accounts?! Humph!]

Pretending not to notice her depression, he handed her a cup of tea and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam!"

"Haha! The prince is the one who has to work hard, playing the role of an idler in his true colors. It's not! easy! to be so idle!" Shen Yu felt upset when he saw him, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Yingxing lowered his eyes, his brows visibly relaxed, "Madam is smart, and I think many people like that you have nothing to do for me, so I can only leave the affairs of the mansion to you."

"What about before the marriage? Didn't your Prince Zhuo's Mansion have these things before I was born?!"

[Want to cheat me? I'll block the door for you!!]

“To be honest, before the marriage, Prince Zhuo’s mansion was closed to visitors all day long, and there was no hostess in the mansion, so naturally there were no social events. But now I have a wife... So, I’m sorry!” The little fox is getting harder and harder to deceive.

Shen Yu chuckled, "From what you said, I was wrong? Then what is there to apologize for? I don't plan to forgive you! It's just that Your Majesty... why is the scope of this job different from what we agreed on?"

"Oh? What do you mean? Madam, if you feel that 20% of the profit is not enough, how about 50%?" Lu Yingxing looked harmless.

Shen Yu suddenly became alert, his eyelids twitched suddenly, as if he had thought of some bad guesses, and asked tentatively, "You are not right! Tell me, what conspiracy do you have... Is my life in danger?"

"Haha! Madam, you are joking. If you are worried about this, I will ask Wu Chen to transfer a female secret guard to the mansion to be responsible for protecting Madam's safety in the future. In addition, Nanny Zhang will also follow Madam in the future, and she will be responsible for reminding you of many etiquette rules."

"Do you think I believe it? If there was no danger, would you send so many people to follow me?" Shen Yu said as she retreated three feet away. Although she also had the ability to protect herself, this configuration was obviously for the purpose of saving her life! !

[Good boy, you little Luzi, it turns out that what you are paying is money for your life! ! ]

[This isn't some kind of money that shouldn't be seen in public! I'm a decent family!]

Lu Yingxing sighed, "Ah... Madam, so we really need to get along better and understand each other better, so that you can trust your husband more. We are husband and wife, how could your husband hurt you?"

"Tell me clearly, what exactly is waiting for me? Otherwise, I will never go out. I don't care about the invitation from the emperor!!" Shen Yu understood the configuration as soon as he heard it. It should be related to the palace banquet tomorrow. I won't be fooled! !

Lu Yingxing nodded and praised, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Madam... In fact, it's nothing, but Madam may meet some unexpected people tomorrow and hear some expected words."

"For example??"

"Xu Yaying will also enter the palace."

"???? I won't go!" Shen Yu was furious when he heard this. Directly confronting the heroine of the original book? I'm not stupid!

Shen Yu tilted her head and sneered, "So, you knew I would be in big trouble, so you suddenly offered to give me 20% of the profit?" She felt that she had discovered a blind spot!

[You bastard! I won’t sell my body! ! ]

His tone was ambiguous, and he sighed slightly, "Madam, you are my only beloved concubine. If not you, who should I give these things to? Not to mention 20% or 50%, as long as it does not affect the daily operation of the palace, even if Madam takes 100%, it is reasonable."

He took another sip of tea and said, "Besides, she is an insignificant outsider, so I don't need to take her to heart. I am just worried that some ignorant people in the palace will talk nonsense and affect my beloved concubine's mood."

Shen Yu: “…………” Damn my beloved concubine!

She looked at Lu Yingxing several times, her little head kept turning around, and suddenly a bright light flashed in her eyes. She said excitedly, "Hey, let's do this. Then you can marry a few more concubines. One can help you with the chores, one can help you with the account books, one can help you with the interpersonal relationships, and one can also serve tea and water. The most important thing is to marry someone who can help you enter the palace!!"

[Wow, this is really smart! This way I can get out of this! Wakaka! ]

After hearing this, Lu Yingxing's eyes darkened and the smile on his face disappeared. He changed his previous docile attitude, walked closer, and rang out in a magnetic voice, "Madam! Don't make such jokes casually!" His words revealed a strong sense of possession and dissatisfaction.
