Send the two shop assistants to Manager Cai, and leave the other one, Granny Yang, at the general store. In a few days, Granny Wen will come to the store with two maids when the beauty salon opens. Granny Yang will then go to the mansion, trying her best not to separate the mother and her two daughters.

Jingxue told Lixia that starting tomorrow, anyone who buys more than five taels of silver at the shop will receive a free beauty and manicure!

Putting a sign at the entrance is a way of promoting the beauty salon!

After returning to the Prince's Mansion with Granny Wen and the other two, Jingxue remembered An'an's household registration. She planned to have the steward handle this matter, fearing that the servants might not be able to explain it clearly. So, Jingxue asked a servant at the gate to escort Granny Wen and the other two back to Jingning Garden, and then she followed another servant to find the steward.

When she reached the entrance of Lingyunxuan, she realized that this was that scoundrel's courtyard.

Jingxue stopped in her tracks. "Go and call the butler out!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ye Muchen has not returned for two days. The Ministry of Works has produced the blueprints, and he has led his men into the mountains to check where they can cut down trees and where they can quarry stone.

When the steward heard that Jingxue was looking for him, he trotted out and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Go and get the household registrations for those two children in my compound tomorrow!"

"Your Highness, are they registered in the same place as you?"

“No, they are a separate household!” Jingxue felt that she wanted a divorce, and since her household registration was in the Prince’s Mansion, it was inappropriate for them to be registered together.

“Your Majesty, to apply for household registration, one must either own land or a house! Look at this…” The steward didn’t know what to say.

Jingxue remembered the courtyard that had been used as a warehouse, and pretended to take out the property deed from her bosom, but actually from her spatial storage, and handed it to the housekeeper.

“Yes, Your Highness…” The butler took the deed and glanced behind Jingxue.

Jingxue turned her head and saw Ye Muchen and Qin Jing walking over with their entourage. The steward hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Qin Jing nodded to Jing Xue, "Sister-in-law!"

When Ye Muchen saw Jingxue at the entrance of Lingyun Pavilion, he assumed she was there to see him and asked naturally, "Why don't you go in? What do you want?"

Jingxue rolled her eyes. "When did I say I was coming to see you?"

Self-indulgent!

Ye Muchen "..."

Before leaving, Jingxue told the steward, "Have someone send a few more sets of servants' clothes to Jingning Garden!"

After glancing at Jingxue as she left, Ye Muchen asked the butler, "What did she come here for?"

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort has come to register the two children I brought back for her!"

Qin Jing recalled that a few days ago Jingxue had asked him to help find a tutor. "My cousin-in-law wants that boy to study at the academy, but the academy might require a household registration!"

Ye Muchen didn't say anything more and stepped into the courtyard. He saw that his bed had been carried out in the courtyard, and the steward hurriedly came over to explain, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort has built a heated kang in her courtyard. This servant thinks it is very good and much better than using a charcoal brazier, so this servant has changed the bed in your bedroom as well!"

"A heated kang? What kind is it? I'll go take a look. My cousin-in-law made it, it must be the right thing!" Qin Jing said and went into the main room.

The housekeeper began to explain the benefits and principles of the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) to the two of them.

After listening, Qin Jing said, "Perfect! I'll have those two bricklayers come to my residence tomorrow. My parents are getting old, and this heated kang bed would be perfect for them!"

The two bricklayers were overjoyed to hear this; they had gotten the job!

Evening, Yue'an Palace.

The emperor has come again. Eunuch Xi's eyes flickered. The emperor has been coming quite frequently lately. It seems that something big has really happened!

"How long has the fourth prince been gone?" the Emperor Emeritus asked, frowning.

"It's been several days. They've been traveling day and night, and it seems they should be heading back now. With the 'As if I were personally present' token, they'll have a smooth journey, but the prison carts will move slowly!" The emperor's face was also full of worry.

"I heard that the third son's wife defeated Jingyi?"

"Yes, Father, the ministers are talking about it all the time!"

The Emperor Emeritus let out a sigh of relief. He had originally wanted the Empress Dowager to send a maid to cause trouble for Jingxue, but now he had given up on that idea.

"These past few days I've been thinking back on the past, and I just can't believe that Jing Zhiyuan would do such a thing!"

"Father, if it's true, what do you think should be done?" the emperor asked.

The retired emperor did not speak.

"Princess Consort Zhan saved the Empress and the First Prince, and also offered two excellent strategies. I have yet to reward her!"

"Give her the reward she deserves! Perhaps that will save her..."

The emperor immediately understood: "But Mu Chen begged me to delay."

"Jing Zhiyuan cannot die. I always felt this was a conspiracy, so I gave it to her the day before that girl found out about it!"

If we give it to her any later, that girl might just storm the execution ground!

"Yes, son knows what to do!"

The Emperor Emeritus took a brocade box and said, "The Crown Prince will soon be a month old. This is a gift from me to him!"

The emperor wanted to invite the retired emperor to the full moon banquet, but then thought better of it. The retired emperor usually didn't attend any banquets, and besides, he had the troublesome matter at hand!

"Then your son thanks Your Majesty on behalf of the First Prince!"

The retired emperor nodded, and the emperor bowed and left.

The next morning, after breakfast, Jingxue was about to take An'an to the academy.

Runyue and Yingying insisted on going along, especially Yingying. I reckon if Jingxue didn't let her go, the little girl would shed tears.

Jingxue knew that the two girls had their eyes on An'an's insulated lunchbox, but they didn't need it. Last night, Jingxue had already given everyone an insulated cup, which was a new item in the store.

Last night, Jingxue asked Xiaoman to make a small cloth bag for An'an, specifically for carrying her thermos and lunchbox.

Jingxue put wet wipes and a fruit box made of wheat straw in An'an's little cloth bag. An'an is very self-reliant and keeps her things in good order.

An'an was wearing a white school uniform, and her face had gotten a little chubby these days, making her look especially adorable.

Leading the three WiFi symbols out the door, Jingxue kept reminding An'an that Runyue had heard An'an say she was bullied yesterday, and was so angry that she secretly taught An'an one of her special tricks.

When they arrived at the academy gate, the person standing there was indeed not the same one from yesterday. An'an took the small cloth bag and said, "Sister, you can go back now! I can go home by myself tonight!"

“That won’t do, Miss doesn’t have time. I’ll come pick you up. I’ve already memorized the way!” Runyue said quickly.

Yingying waved to her brother, "Brother, you must study hard. I'll come pick you up tonight!"

Jingxue was amused by the two little ones!

An An waved to the three of them and followed the students, who were also dressed in academy uniforms, through the gate.

When the three returned to the Prince's residence, they encountered the steward who was about to leave. "Your Highness, the Prince asked me to tell you this morning that the First Prince's full moon banquet is the day after tomorrow, and he wants you to prepare to go to the palace with him!"

"Oh, I see!" How fast! The eldest prince is already a month old, shouldn't I receive my reward now?

I'm really looking forward to it!
