After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Lin Qingyao kept her word and summoned all the servants in the palace early the next morning, ready to give them a good beating.

According to Ling Shuang, most of these people were old people who had followed from the palace. They had all experienced the ups and downs in the imperial palace and were well versed in the art of lip service.

Although they had to obey Ling Shuang's discipline due to Xiao Jingxuan's pressure, most of them were unwilling to accept it in their hearts. They were all waiting for Lin Qingyao to take over the general affairs so as to laugh at Ling Shuang.

When everyone saw Lin Qingyao, they all bowed and said, "Your servant greets the princess."

Lin Qingyao did not rush to ask them to stand up, but looked carefully at each person kneeling on the ground.

Lin Qingyao was looking down at them at this moment, with sharp eyes, but she didn't say a word, which made these people feel a little guilty.

Lin Qingyao just kept staring at them until she saw that they were feeling a little uneasy, then she slowly spoke.

"No courtesy, please get up."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Thank you, Princess."

After what happened just now, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

This princess looks quite approachable, but I didn't expect her eyes to be so sharp.

They originally thought that with the arrival of a gentle and kind princess, they could escape Ling Shuang's strict control, but now they feel a little uncertain.

"I have just arrived, and I need your care in the future. Today I want to meet you first. You are all elders who have served the prince for many years. I believe you know more about many rules than I do, so I will not elaborate on them. I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. As long as you work hard, you will naturally get benefits."

Upon hearing this, everyone's minds immediately became active. The princess was indeed better at winning people's hearts than Ling Shuang. She said right from the start that there would be rewards for good work.

What these servants like most is rewards. After all, they work hard just for the monthly salary. Who would go against money?

A brave servant immediately responded, "Don't worry, Princess. We have been following the prince for many years and have always been very dedicated. Princess, you are the mistress of the palace. From now on, we will obey your arrangements and serve you without hesitation."

Lin Qingyao chuckled when she heard this. It was just as Ling Shuang said, they were all old wily guys.

He was so eager to show his loyalty to her when he met her for the first time today, as if he was afraid that she would not remember him.

As for how sincere one can be in doing things, it is still unknown.

In short, he wants to leave an impression on her first, and he will definitely be indispensable for any benefits in the future.

Ling Shuang whispered in Lin Qingyao's ear, "This man is Liu Ming, the most experienced servant in the palace. He is very cunning and knows how to pretend to obey but actually disobey. He is very domineering and everyone has to listen to him, otherwise they can no longer stay in the palace."

Lin Qingyao nodded when she heard this. It seemed that Liu Ming was a bad apple and he had to be eliminated as soon as possible.

"Your name is Liu Ming, right?"

When Liu Ming heard that the princess actually knew his name, he was very proud and hurriedly stepped forward.

"That's right, Princess. I'm deeply honored that a great person like you knows my name."

Lin Qingyao chuckled when she heard this. This guy is really good at speaking and he never forgets to flatter in every sentence.

Lin Qingyao ignored Liu Ming's obvious flattery, "I forgot to say just now, this concubine has always been fair and just, and I don't like flattery the most, so you don't have to worry about this in the future. As long as you do your job well, I will reward you. But if you focus on crooked ways and can't even do your job well, then you will only be punished. Do you understand what I say?"

Liu Ming's face changed when he heard this. The princess' words were obviously a warning to him.

He had met countless people of prominent status in the palace before, and no one disliked hearing good words. This was the first time he failed in his flattery.

Lin Qingyao is different from Ling Shuang. She has a very prominent family background and is now a princess. She is not someone he can afford to offend, so he can only agree first.

Liu Ming quickly knelt on the ground and responded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand."

Lin Qingyao smiled slightly, and continued: "In the past, I didn't care about your rules. Now this princess's backyard is under my management, so you have to abide by my rules. Ling Shuang has always been in charge of the palace's affairs. I think she manages it well, and I plan to let her manage it in the future. I know that Ling Shuang is younger than most of you, and there are many of you who don't obey her. No matter what you think, I recognize Ling Shuang's ability, and I hope you will cooperate with her more in the future and do your own work well. Again, as long as your ability to do things can be recognized by me, the benefits are inevitable. For me, regardless of qualifications, only ability is considered, I hope you understand."

Ling Shuang, who was standing by, was somewhat moved when she heard this. The princess was supporting her.

The people below were not very happy. They thought that with the princess's arrival they could finally get rid of the control of that little girl Ling Shuang. They didn't expect that the princess trusted her so much and let her continue to manage the palace's affairs.

But the prince has already said that from now on the princess will have the final say in the backyard of the palace. If anyone dares to disobey the princess's wishes, they will be expelled from the palace.

Due to the prince's order, everyone could only obey and said reluctantly: "Yes, princess, I understand."

Lin Qingyao was of course clear about their thoughts. Her intimidation was just a trick. It was only with Jamel Xiao's support that she could barely make them obey. They must be unwilling in their hearts.

However, Lin Qingyao has already thought of a good idea that can make them work hard.

"I know you must be dissatisfied with me now. I am just used to saying ugly things in advance. If you do well, I will treat you with courtesy. Now that I have said the ugly things, let's talk about how I reward you. I will set a rule today. In the future, all of you will not only do your own work well, but also supervise others to see if they are doing their job well. If you find someone slacking off, you can report it to Ling Shuang. If what you said is true, you can get a reward. As for how much the reward is, it depends on the severity and truthfulness of your report."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.

When they heard there was a reward, their eyes lit up.

They all worked their way up through the palace, so filing a complaint would not be a problem for them.

It is a good thing in the world that you can get money by filing a complaint.

Seeing these people's reactions, Lin Qingyao knew that she had made the right move. Even if it was for the reward, these people would do their work well in the future and would also supervise others to do their work well.
