Qingyun sorted out the dowry, recorded it in a book, and put it away.

Things like quilts can be taken out and used.

Zhong Ruhuang had investigated Mo Ruxian and knew that he was an orphan. When marrying the second daughter of the Mu family, she did not give any betrothal gifts. The Mu family just hosted a banquet for the guests.

When Mu Haoxue sent her to the palace, besides the seven loads of dowry, there was only a small bundle containing only a few pieces of clothes and not even any jewelry.

So before going to the yamen, she gave some instructions to Fan Min, the internal steward.

"Fan Min, remember to give Mo Xiaoshi a reward. Pick out some more cloth and jewelry that he can wear, and give him some ornaments."

Zhong Ruhuang didn't think there was anything wrong with this order. The furnishings in Mo Ruxian's Xuezhuxuan were indeed too simple, and his clothes were too plain.

With such a pretty face, you have to dress up well to please her.

When Zhong Ruhuang thought so, she forgot that there was also Nongyu, who was born as a captive servant and lived in a place even worse than Mo Ruxian, and she was pregnant.

She didn't give Fan Min any instructions, but asked her to deliver the reward according to the rules.

When Fan Min heard Zhong Ruhuang's order, he was somewhat surprised.

This is the first time that Her Highness has specified a reward for the man in the backyard. In the past, she always asked her to follow the rules.

However, she would do whatever His Highness ordered.

Fan Min carefully selected several pieces of cloth and some jewelry that could be worn by a servant of Mo Ruxian, and personally delivered them after lunch.

Mo Ruxian had a nap and had lunch, and was now embroidering a piece of yellow clothing material carefully.

Qingyun saluted Fan Min.

"Meet Xiao Fan, Prison Girl. What are you doing?"

Qingyun had seen Fan Min yesterday, so he recognized him.

Fan Min smiled politely.

"Brother Qingyun, you are too polite. I am here to give a reward to Miss Mo. This is the first time you sleep with me, and His Highness will give you a reward."

Only those with a name.

Your Highness will not care about those who have no name or status.

For example, Su Wu who is under Sun Pannu's command.

As long as he has no status, His Highness will not care about him, let alone give him any rewards.

Without any name or status, he was just Sun Pannu's captive servant and she had no control over him.

Su Wu was also a timid person. Even after being served twice, he still did not ask for it.

In order to prevent problems with female heirs, Fan Min would record in a register all the men who had been touched by Zhong Ruhuang, clearly specifying the time and place.

Because Fan Min also worked part-time as Zhong Ruhuang's bedroom supervisor, specifically recording matters related to sleeping arrangements.

Although Su Wu has no official status, he is still recorded in the book.

When Mo Ruxian heard the voice, he came out and looked at Fan Min curiously.

When Fan Min saw Mo Ruxian's appearance, he understood something.

No wonder His Highness is thinking about me, it turns out I have a pretty face.

"The captive servant Fan Min pays his respects to Mo Xiaoshi."

Fan Min bowed respectfully and politely.

As long as they were men in the backyard, she would not offend any of them and would always be respectful and polite to them.

"Please get up."

Mo Ruxian shouted, "Please stand up!" and then he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Qingyun took the initiative to say: "Master, Xiao Fan Nujian is here to give you His Highness's reward. These are all."

Upon hearing this, Mo Ruxian began to look at the pile of rewards.

“They all look so good.”

The material is beautiful, and the jewelry is also beautiful.

The jade ornaments of two little white sheep made him love them even more.

"As long as Miss Mo likes it, I will take my leave now."

A stupid handsome man.

This is how Fan Min evaluated Mo Ruxian in his heart.

I don’t know how long such a stupid handsome man can live?

Since ancient times, women's backyards have been bloodless battlefields, never short of gore and violence.

Zhong Ruhuang arrived at the yamen in a good mood, and then received good news.

The food and fodder subsidized by the imperial court will arrive in another hour.

Based on her understanding of her mother, she would definitely not be stingy.

Moreover, she felt that the matter of a widower marrying again required another memorial.

She was afraid that if the news that she had married a widower as a concubine spread to Chaotian City, her mother would probably write a memorial to scold her.

Instead of doing this, it is better to state the pros and cons and explain the relationship between them to avoid being scolded.

Although she knew that Mo Ruxian was a virgin when he consummated their marriage, it was still hard to say.

Who told her to consummate the marriage in the bathtub instead of in bed, leaving no evidence?

So she could only keep this matter in her heart and couldn't say anything because she had no evidence.

But who is this Mo Ruxian? How come he doesn’t have any toad blood?

Generally, on the day a boy is born, the midwife will take out the toad sand he carries with him and put a little of it on his arm to prove the boy’s innocence.

Even if there are special circumstances, when the full moon comes, please ask the midwife who delivers the boy to apply some toad sand on him.

When Mu Haoxue picked up Mo Ruxian, he looked to be five or six years old. She also checked his background, but found nothing.

Zhong Ruhuang was of noble status and did not need to personally go to receive the envoys who brought food and fodder, so he wrote memorials in the yamen.

Now that the envoy has come, it wouldn't be too much for him to bring back a memorial, right?

This would save her the trouble of sending someone to deliver it separately, wasting time, manpower and food.

She didn't go to pick him up, but Mu Haoxue and Lu Lingran went to the dock of Tianfeng River to welcome the envoy.

Zhong Ruhuang didn't know who the envoys sent were, but they were probably just those few people.

Zhong Ruhuang wrote the memorial in an elegant manner, read it over again, blew away the ink, put the memorial in a kraft paper envelope, sealed the envelope with red wax, and then stamped it with her King Wu seal. That was it.

For a prince like her who is in charge of guarding the country, the memorials she submits are heard directly by the emperor, and no one else can open them except His Majesty.

This is also to prevent someone from withholding memorials.

The wax and kraft oil paper she used were palace secret recipes that could not be imitated by outsiders.

Add to that her King Wu Seal, which also has a specially made red ink paste, and it acts as several layers of insurance, making it impossible to be replaced.

Zhong Ruhuang finished writing the memorial and waited in the yamen.

Not long after, Mu Haoxue and Lu Lingran came in with a middle-aged woman in red official uniform.

When Zhong Ruhuang saw the man's appearance clearly, she was stunned.

Isn’t this Feng Wei, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, the mother of her study partner Feng Pingping?

Thinking of this, she looked behind Feng Wei and saw Feng Pingping in a dark blue official uniform.

Not long after Zhong Ruhuang left, Feng Pingping took part in the imperial examination and passed the exam. Now she is serving as a sixth-rank official under her mother Feng Yi.

Feng Wei bowed to Zhong Ruhuang.

Feng Pingping followed Feng Wei and saluted.

"Your humble servant greets His Highness."

"Master Feng, please don't be polite."

"Master Xiao Feng, please don't be polite either."

Zhong Ruhuang felt somewhat happy when she saw an acquaintance.

But before reminiscing about the past, let’s get down to business first.

"Your Highness, this is the list of supplies delivered this time, please take a look."

Feng Wei took out a letter and handed it to Zhong Ruhuang.

Zhong Ruhuang took it and started reading.

She got all the food, cloth, and cotton she wanted, and a lot of other things as well, which was more than she expected.

She closed the letter with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I wonder how many days Lord Feng will stay at Chaotian Pass this time?"

Feng Yi apologized: "Your Highness, I am very busy and will leave this afternoon."

Because Feng Wei and the others were in a hurry to leave, they were treated to a good lunch at noon.

Taking advantage of this time, Feng Pingping had the opportunity to talk to Zhong Ruhuang.

"Your Highness, are you okay at Chaotian Pass?"

Feng Pingping asked worriedly.

"Fortunately."

Zhong Ruhuang smiled calmly, looking very adapted.

"That's good."

Feng Pingping originally wanted to come to Chaotian Pass with Zhong Ruhuang, but her husband was pregnant, so she did not come with him in order to accompany him.

Now that I'm working in the Ministry of Rites, I can't come.
