She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

"Don't worry, madam. I am a man who keeps himself clean." Shangguan Ziqi immediately assured.

Yu Yuanzheng blushed when she heard this.

"I, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you."

"Yes, I know."

The princess felt extremely relieved when watching the interaction between the couple.

The son cares a lot about his daughter-in-law.

That’s good, they will live in harmony as a couple from now on.

It shouldn’t be long before I have grandchildren.

The three of them carefully checked the things they found in Nanny Zheng's room.

Apart from the three packets of medicine, there were mainly various jewelry of varying values.

Some princesses know, some don’t.

"Hey, this gold bracelet actually has the mark of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it." Shangguan Ziqi looked at the bracelet again and again.

When the princess heard this, she took it and looked at it, and it was true.

"Could it be that someone in the palace has bribed Madam Zheng?" the princess was surprised.

"It's possible that it was given to the Second Madam by Concubine Shu." Shangguan Ziqi analyzed.

"But it's not ruled out that she herself also has something to ask Madam Zheng to do." Yu Yuanzheng added.

In short, it is possible that anyone could bribe Zheng Ma to do things for her.

But now the person is dead, and his children are not in the palace.

"Mother, your daughter-in-law suspects that what she said about her daughter's death is false." Yu Yuanzheng thought of what Madam Zheng said before she died.

"It's very likely. I'll ask Yuanshan to check it out right now." Shangguan Ziqi also agreed.

It's such a pity that a case where we thought the real culprit was caught ended up like this.

"Mother, I'll go to the small kitchen later to see if there's anything that shouldn't be eaten." Yu Yuanzheng suggested.

"Things that harm people won't be put out in the open. I guess you won't be able to see anything."

"Just for peace of mind."

"what ever."

Before the couple left, Yu Yuanzheng went to the small kitchen in the main courtyard to take a look and indeed did not see anything wrong.

The small kitchen is only used to make snacks, and the real meals should be prepared in the big kitchen.

That day, Madam Zhao left the palace and went to various shops on the street to inquire about the prices of various common items.

He didn't come back until it was almost dark.

The next morning, the princess gathered all the officials in the palace together.

Yu Yuanzheng and Yu Chaoyang helped to reconcile the accounts. Any price discrepancies exceeding 20% ​​reported by Zhao Ma were marked out, and the corresponding managers would impose penalties based on the severity of the situation.

Severe punishments include beating with a stick, and minor punishments include a monthly salary fine.

Then he dismissed many of the officials.

It took the princess three days to complete the whole thing with the help of her two daughters-in-law.

Unexpectedly, five managers were dismissed and twelve were found to have committed fraud.

In addition to blaming herself, the princess also hated the second wife to death.

She really wanted to divide this family up.

She mentioned this matter to the prince, but the prince thought of his second brother's hopeless situation and had to persuade the princess.

It's not easy for him to be the head of the family.

But the second wife was so shameless that she came to the princess for help in proposing marriage.

Shangguan Zifeng, as the eldest son of the second wife, is half a year older than the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince's wife is pregnant, but he has not even decided on a marriage yet.

"Second sister-in-law, this matter is not my business. It's your Second House's business. He ruined such a good marriage before, who can he blame?

If you have chosen someone and need to propose, I, as the eldest wife in the palace, will do you this favor, but don't do it again and again. If you ruin the marriage again, I will not intervene. The palace also needs to maintain its reputation."

The princess spoke very firmly.

It’s his second wife’s fault if his son is not well educated.

The second wife had no choice but to go back in shame and cried bitterly in her room.

"Why are you crying? If the princess doesn't want to come forward, isn't there still the concubine Shu?

When her confinement is over, let her invite a few noble ladies from the capital to the palace. I don’t believe they won’t even give the concubine a face.”

The second old lady started crying as soon as she saw her incompetent daughter-in-law. She got angry because she had no ability at all.

The second wife immediately wiped her tears with a handkerchief and stopped crying.

"My mother-in-law is right. We still have Concubine Shu to help us. But Ling'er is not young anymore and is also getting married. But she is not outstanding in any way. What should we do?" The second wife was worried about her son and now she was worried about her daughter.

"Tell her not to go out and play with her sisters all day long. Instead, she should stay at home and learn embroidery and piano from Ziqi's wife." The second old lady was not very satisfied with her own granddaughter.

Alas, it’s still her fault for spoiling me too much.

He spoiled his two grandchildren so much that they had no ambition to make progress.

"Yes, Ziqi's wife is very good at these two things. If Ling'er can learn half of her skills, she will also be able to do well." After hearing this, the second wife's mind suddenly became clear.

It would be a waste if we don't make good use of such a good husband at home.

"Let Ling'er handle this matter by herself. We shouldn't interfere." The second old lady knew that she had no face in front of Yu Yuanzheng.

If she asked, Yu Yuanzheng would definitely not agree.

"Daughter-in-law, call Ling'er right away." The second wife asked the maid to go and get her.

After a while, Shangguan Ling came to the second lady's yard. Seeing that the second old lady was also there, she immediately put away the smile on her face.

"Met grandma."

"You are not young anymore, and you have reached the age to get married. You should control your temper and stop running outside all day long. You should learn what a woman should learn." The second old lady said seriously.

"But grandma, my granddaughter doesn't like what the teacher taught her." Shangguan Ling's fifteenth birthday was still two or three months away.

Still maintaining that innocence and willfulness.

"Then what do you want to learn?" the second old lady asked unhappily.

The girls' schools in our tribe can only teach a few things.

Three obediences and four virtues.

Housekeeper Director.

Chess, calligraphy and painting.

Shangguan Ling really couldn't think of what she liked to study.

"Okay, you've been attending the clan school for several years. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. From now on, you should find a way to get Ziqi's wife to take you in as her apprentice and teach you needlework and the art of playing the zither." The second old lady made the arrangements directly.

Shangguan Ling's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Yes, Sister Yuan Zheng’s zither was praised by the emperor. Why didn’t she think of learning from her?

If she could play so well, wouldn't she be the focus of all kinds of gatherings in the future?

"Yes, grandma, tomorrow I will go to learn from Sister Yuan Zheng, but I don't have a good zither. What should I do?" Shangguan Ling took the opportunity to ask for a good zither.

The second old lady glared at Shangguan Ling hatefully.

Just know how to ask for things.

"Okay, grandma will buy you a good piano. If you don't learn well, don't blame grandma for punishing you.

"Yes, my granddaughter will definitely study hard. I just don't know if Sister Yuan Zheng will accept her as her apprentice."

"Can't you find a way to please her?"

Shangguan Ling thought about it. Sister Yuan Zheng should be able to teach her, right? They were only a year apart in age, about the same age, and she had never offended her before. And Brother Ziqi had always loved her very much.

Qiyayuan.

Yuanshan was assigned by his master to investigate the matter of Zheng Ma's daughter, and he just came back to report today.

"Master, Madam Young Master, there is something fishy about Madam Zheng's daughter." Yuanshan said solemnly.
