When King Xuan woke up again, the sun had already set.

He slowly opened his eyes and felt much more energetic and his headache was gone.

So he called the butler and wanted to know about today's banquet.

He asked in a low voice: "Did anything happen at today's banquet?"

The housekeeper glanced at King Xuan and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, today several young ladies took the wrong road and entered the front yard by mistake.

He met the fifth young master of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, the third young master of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, and the second young master of Zhaoguogong's Mansion, and some conflicts occurred between the two sides.

Fortunately, King Cheng showed up in time and sent them all away."

King Xuan frowned slightly and asked again: "Is there anything else happening?"

The butler replied respectfully: “Other than that, there is nothing special.

However, there were more guests today than expected. There were a total of forty-three banquet tables in the front yard and fifty-six tables in the back yard.

In addition, this is the list of gifts we received today, please have a look, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, the butler handed over a thick gift list.

However, King Xuan did not accept the gift list, but waved his hand and said, "No need, let Concubine Shen handle these matters in the future.

At the same time, send the key to the warehouse and the account book to her as well."

The housekeeper quickly responded, "Yes, I understand. Then I will sort it out tonight and send it to the concubine tomorrow morning."

King Xuan nodded in agreement.

The housekeeper knew in his heart that from now on, the mistress of this palace would be Concubine Shen.

After the butler left, King Xuan also returned to Shen Jingyi's place.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw her eating dinner listlessly. King Xuan walked over and sat down opposite her.

He directly ordered: "Add a set of bowls and chopsticks."

When Shen Jingyi saw him coming back, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Go and ask them to make two more dishes for the prince."

"No need, I can just eat the same thing as you, so that you won't feel uncomfortable and unable to eat it." King Xuan quickly stopped him.

Hearing this, Shen Jingyi felt warm in her heart, but she still insisted: “It’s okay, Your Majesty, I have figured it out.

Think of these light foods as beauty and weight loss meals.

And now I don’t feel that the food is tasteless anymore, maybe because I’m used to it, and I can taste the original sweetness of the food.”

King Xuan looked at her, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Then I will accompany you today to experience the charm of this beauty and weight loss meal."

"Okay!" Shen Jingyi nodded happily, feeling deeply moved.

The two enjoyed a bland dinner together in a warm and sweet atmosphere.

After dinner, King Xuan told Shen Jingyi what happened today, including the matter of Bai Zhi.

After hearing this, Shen Jingyi also felt that this person was very smart and knew how to seize the opportunity and put forward the most favorable conditions for himself.

I just don’t know why such a smart person always did stupid things in the past.

Shen Jingyi just thought about it casually and put it aside. Since she was about to leave the house, they would not have any intersection in the future, so there was no need to pay too much attention to her.

She still had considerable confidence in the ability of King Xuan's subordinates to do their work.

The next morning, after Shen Jingyi had breakfast, she started playing with the child in bed.

At this time, Dongxue came in and reported, "Concubine, Steward Xue is here."

Shen Jingyi was a little surprised and didn't know why Butler Xue came.

"Concubine, do you want to see me?" asked Nanny Qin.

Shen Jingyi nodded, "Let him in!"

"Yes," Dongxue walked out.

Chuntao and Chunliu also quickly moved the screen next to them to the center of the room to block the bed.

This was prepared in advance so that it could block the view in case a foreign man came to see her.

Soon, the butler walked into the room holding a tray, followed by two servants carrying boxes and cages.

After the three of them entered the room, they all lowered their heads respectfully and dared not look around, and then said in unison: "Greetings, Concubine."

"Get up! Butler Xue, what are you doing..." Shen Jingyi spoke gently.

Steward Xue quickly replied, "My Lady, I am here to deliver the keys and account books as ordered."

After saying that, he handed the tray in his hand to Xia Zhu who was closest to him.

Xia Zhu took it and brought it in to Shen Jingyi.

Steward Xue then continued, "The account books and keys in the tray are from the palace storehouse, and the seals and cards are in the box.

As for the gift list, it was what was received at the banquet held at the palace yesterday.

In addition, this box contains some of the palace's past account books. I wanted to show them to you so that you can have a better idea of ​​what's going on."

Shen Jingyi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that he was here to do the handover work.

At the same time, she sighed in her heart, it seemed that her leisurely days would be gone in the future.

However, since she had already made up her mind, she would accompany King Xuan well;

As the mistress of this family, she must manage her home well!
