Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"The Crown Princess was about to leave, and you came at the right time. Why don't you accompany her to the Imperial Household Department and meet the various managers at the same time." When the Empress Dowager saw the Crown Prince, she suddenly thought that it would be a good idea to have the Crown Prince accompany her to support her.

Now that we are here, we have to use it. Although the Crown Princess doesn't look like she needs help, since there is someone ready, why not save some trouble?

"Yes." Xiao Jingheng responded.

The Queen Mother held Nanny Lin's hand and returned to the inner room. Nanny Li also stood behind the Crown Princess.

After leaving Yongshou Palace, the group walked through the imperial garden where flowers were already in full bloom and arrived at the Imperial Household Department.

Zhou Qingxi, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, was standing with his back to the door, lecturing the eunuchs below.

"I said it a few days ago, from now on, the order in the harem must be improved." Zhou Qingxi said, and began to pace. "Why?"

Zhou Qingxi bowed towards the East Palace and said, "Because the future master of this harem will be in charge of us from now on, we all have to be careful."

"Steward Zhou, you are too nervous. The Crown Princess is the future master, but we servants have to live well in the present. She is a junior after all. How can she control the concubine mother in the harem?" The person who spoke was the deputy steward of the Imperial Household Department, Chen Wenzhong. He had recently been very close to Yun Zhaoyi, who had just become pregnant with the royal heir.

"Oh, I'm not saying anything bad about you, Deputy Chief Steward Chen. Even if it's Consort Li of the Yufu Palace, kneeling before the Crown Princess wouldn't be excessive. What are you saying here? Or have you never seen the Phoenix Seal?"

Zhou Qingxi was not used to being sick, so he directly retorted. Yun Zhaoyi had been favored recently, and Chen Wenzhong had also felt a little bloated.

But, a concubine, a concubine, is, after all, just something a little more advanced than a pet.

The person who truly holds the power of life and death over these servants has never been the favorite concubine.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have arrived—" Han Desheng shouted loudly.

Zhou Qingxi was really glad about what he said at this moment, but Chen Wenzhong was not as calm as he said just now. His face turned pale for a moment, and he quickly knelt beside Zhou Qingxi.

"Your servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess." The eunuchs present knelt down in a rush, and the sound of greetings came roaring in.

Xiao Jingheng stood beside the Crown Princess without saying a word. Gu Qinghe raised his hand and said, "Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, Crown Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone stood up, and Zhou Qingxi saw Chen Wenzhong nimbly running into the house with his robe lifted, carrying a chair in one hand.

Zhou Qingxi snorted lightly. What a snob. He said one thing and did another. When it came to flattery, he was better than anyone else.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Princess, please take a seat." Chen Wenzhong said, grabbing his sleeve and sweeping the chair.

Xiao Jingheng looked at him calmly, then helped the Crown Princess sit down before he sat down himself.

"My dear eunuchs, if you have anything to do, you can go and do it. I came to visit you on my way to the palace today." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile.

None of the people below moved, all waiting for the Crown Princess's order. Neither Yongshou Palace nor Yufu Palace were on the way to the Imperial Household Department.

"Crown Princess, we have been looking forward to this for a few days. We hope that Your Majesty will come to take charge of the affairs of the harem so that we will have a backbone in our hearts." Zhou Qingxi bowed his body and spoke respectfully.

Gu Qinghe asked, "Are you the chief steward Zhou Qingxi?"

Most of the people below were Gu Qinghe’s acquaintances.

Zhou Qingxi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Crown Princess actually knew him. He nodded happily and said, "Yes, I am."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs has done a great job in maintaining the daily affairs of the harem without the Empress's supervision." Gu Qinghe said, glancing at Yingchun, who then came forward with the purse.

Zhou Qingxi happily accepted the reward from the Crown Princess and was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but was stopped by the Crown Princess.

"No need to thank me anymore. This is a reward for your good work. Everyone will get a share later." Gu Qinghe waved his hand and said, "But, we need to make it clear in advance that with rewards, there will be punishments."

"Yes, the Crown Princess is wise." Chen Wenzhong took over the conversation.

Xiao Jingheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, his eyes full of warning, but he didn't say anything. He only heard the Crown Princess say, "Chen Wenzhong is very conscious, but I don't like being interrupted."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenzhong immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I know I was wrong, and I beg for forgiveness, Princess." But there was no sign of admitting fault in his lowered eyes.

"Get up," Gu Qinghe said slowly, then raised his head and looked down. "Zhou Qingxi, please send me a copy of the current operating procedures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the daily expenses of the concubines in each palace."

"Yes, I will follow the Crown Princess's orders and deliver it to you as soon as possible." Zhou Qingxi said, glancing at Chen Wenzhong. You are asked to flatter, but you don't understand the master's character, and yet you rush forward with your eyes closed.

Do you really think that the Crown Princess, such a serious master, has the same character as that soaring Concubine Yun?

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do. You guys should get busy and don't delay any work in the palace." Gu Qinghe waved his hand and said.

Xiao Jingheng watched the Crown Princess handle everything smoothly in the Imperial Household Department today. He felt very curious and proud. It was the first time he saw her handle such trivial matters.

When you work seriously, there is another kind of beauty, a beauty that is so cool. It’s a pity that I didn’t experience it in my previous life.

Xiao Jingheng and Gu Qinghe stood up, and the eunuchs also shouted: "Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

The couple returned to the East Palace. Xiao Jingheng helped Gu Qinghe get off the carriage and adjusted the hairpin in the Crown Princess's hair. "I have something to do ahead. You should go back to the main courtyard and rest for a while."

Gu Qinghe nodded, "You can go and do your work."

Then, she returned to the main courtyard and had just asked Yingchun to find something lighter to change into when she heard Wangchun hurried over, "Crown Princess, about an hour ago, someone from the Gu family came and said that the Third Madam was sent to the farm in the suburbs by the Third Master to recuperate."

In fact, everyone knows that the Third Madam, Wang, is not sick at all. If she is sick, it is probably because her mind is sick.

It's dirty and rotten, and doctors can't cure it. Perhaps only a painful lesson can cure it.

"I understand. I didn't say anything else except to let you know about this." Wangchun replied.

Gu Qinghe raised her hand, took off the earrings from her ears, and placed them in the dressing box in front of her. "Is it someone from the second house?"

"Yes, Wang Da drove and brought Mother Liu here."

"Okay, that's okay. Go get busy." Gu Qinghe turned her face to the side again, preparing to take off the other earring.

Unexpectedly, Wangchun went out for a while and came back, saying happily: "Crown Princess, Princess Yunhua and Miss Liu are here."
