Later, I became the prince of the group

Five days after the plan was implemented, the frenzied devil finally realized his conscience and gave Liu Qi a two-day vacation.

You can sleep in on holidays and don't need to read, but you still have to run.

But Liu Qi was still very satisfied.

He couldn't wait to accept Qiu Zihua's invitation early in the morning. This was the first outsider he had met after getting married. For a while, Qiu Zihua felt like a baby.

He was very happy at first, but Qiu Zihua had a sad expression on his face, with pity and sadness, and asked him why he didn't say anything, Liu Qi's interest dropped after a while.

His tone also became lighter: "You came to me, but you just sat there like this, what exactly do you want?"

Qiu Zihua realized that Liu Qi was a little unhappy, and quickly said: "I am worried that you will have a bad time here, and I am afraid that you will be bored, so I want to accompany you. Cousin, don't blame me, I just remembered that I handed over to you for many days. Post, I finally saw you once, I'm just a little disappointed."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi knew that Qiu Zihua had misunderstood.

Liu Qi originally wanted to comfort him by saying that he hadn't had a bad time, but if he wanted to say that he was doing well, it didn't seem to be the case—studying is really too hard!

So he didn't say much, just asked someone to temporarily invite a troupe to relieve boredom. When he sang the third play, Liu Qi felt a little drowsy, and soon he heard a series of coughs in his ears.

This cough was so familiar, every time Liu Qi was drowsy in school, he would hear it. He woke up with a jolt, and he really saw Yang Zhixing, Grand Master Yang, taking the time to look at himself.

Liu Qi hurriedly got up and saluted, feeling puzzled and apprehensive: "Teacher... Today, today should be a rest..."

Yang Zhixing said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to test your knowledge. You are resting, but the prince is not. I'll wait for him to come back."

As she said that, she changed her tone: "The princess was always complaining of suffering and tiredness a few days ago. It's rare to take a rest. It's best to calm down and rest your mind. It's too noisy."

When Mr. Yang was an official to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, when outsiders talked about him, they always said that he was "lucky for success and luck for failure" in the officialdom.

In the early years, Emperor Chengxing used a lot of "country Zhuges", and he gave them a lot of official positions and large rewards. For example, the current right minister Li Pingrui was forced to the border by the chaos of the Southern Jin Dynasty a few years ago. A reclusive scholar in the mountains, his son was bullied when he first arrived in the capital. It was Shuxiu, the son of the Yang family, who extended a helping hand. Later, the emperor personally praised Yang Gongzi and brought his father Yang Zhixing as a close minister. Since then, Master Yang has been supported by Li Xiang. He has real power in the court.

Originally, everything was going well, but who knew that at this time, the old mother died of illness, Master Yang had to observe filial piety for three years, and the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was very important, so he couldn't wait for him, so he replaced him.

After Chu Yan moved into the palace, it would be inconvenient to go to the East Palace to study, so Emperor Chengxing thought of Yang Zhixing who was idle at home and asked him to come over to be Chu Yan's teacher.

Don't look at Mr. Yang's smiling face, he is not lenient when punishing people, he is not strict, he said asking you to "copy the book ten times" is like joking, but Mr. Yang doesn't care, but Chu Yan It's in charge.

Liu Qi quickly asked the troupe to stop, and forced a forced smile, listening to Yang Zhixing's "I don't want to say more", while "I have to say"...

Fortunately, someone came to report that Chu Yan was back, so Master Yang left Liu Qi and went to the front hall.

As soon as Mr. Yang left, the butler came to Liu Qi with the account book and name book: "My lord specially told this old slave that when the princess is free, I will show you the things in the mansion."

Liu Qi's eyes widened: "I finally took a rest..."

The housekeeper Chen Su coughed lightly, and said bravely, "It is because of your rest that you are free to take care of housework..."

After speaking, he looked at Qiu Zihua in embarrassment again, the corner of Qiu Zihua's mouth twitched, and he was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he had to leave.

The housekeeper didn't come alone, but brought Mother Tang with her. Mother Tang was the prince's wet nurse. King An was held hostage back then, and all the people around him were exiled. Because Mother Tang was a wet nurse, she was protected by the queen. Come down and send it to your mother's house.

Liu Qi was married with only two servants and two guards. It wasn't that the Liu family deliberately treated him badly, but that all the servants who were married by princesses in this dynasty were of this standard. Of course, other princesses would have personal maids, but Liu Qi A man is not good enough to be served by a maid.

It can be said that there is nothing around Liu Qi to take care of, so Chu Yan sent Nanny Tang to Xizhengyuan.

It should be an honor for the prince and nanny to take care of the princess in person, but Liu Qi felt that Madam Tang was ordered to supervise him, and he was a little afraid of her, so he could only patiently listen to the housekeeper's affairs about the house.

There are two butlers in the mansion, and the chief butler, Chen Su, was also trained by the empress's mother's family, and was personally ordered by Mrs. Jin.

The Jin family of the Duke of Peiguo has been favored by the dragon for decades, and has been favored for decades.Mrs. Jin is Chu Yan's grandmother, the only one who still cared about him in his troubled childhood.

It is said that the old matriarch asked the emperor for his order to take his grandson to the Jin mansion, but Emperor Chengxing flatly refused, thinking that even if I don't want this stupid son, he is still a prince, and there is no reason for the father-in-law's family to adopt him.

On the first day Chen Su entered the mansion, he showed his loyalty. He bluntly said that although he was born in the mansion of the Duke, he will be a member of the mansion from now on. With permission, he will never talk nonsense.

Now Chen Su is mainly in charge of procurement, concierge, hospitality, delivery of posts, carriages and horses, appearances to discuss matters, and the establishment of a shop under the name of the palace, etc.

The second steward is worried about life. He is mainly responsible for internal affairs and personnel, manages affairs in the palace, and also holds palm seals.

The first-class maids of the Eastern Courtyard, Xiao Ning and Xiangying, are also consuls of the Eastern Courtyard.Xinqing, as the prince's personal servant, although she has no specific affairs, is the only servant in the mansion who is in the same position as the nanny. The nanny Tang of the Xizhengyuan is the consul, and Liu Qi's two servants are also promoted to first-class servants. .

In fact, there are not many people in the mansion that Liu Qi needs to recognize. Even Chu Yan himself can’t recognize them all. Chen Su just brought a few people in charge of purchasing, carriages, kitchens, and bookstores for Liu Qi to recognize. A familiar face, in case Liu Qi doesn't know who to turn to when he wants to ask someone to do something.

At the end, Chen Su asked again: "The Zhuangzi, the field and the account books of the shop that the princess married as a dowry have been sent to the palace. I wonder if the princess wants to make decisions by herself?"

The Liu family also knew Liu Qi's virtues, and it was unrealistic for him to manage these things, so all the staff were prepared together as a dowry, and Liu Qi only needed to lie down and collect the rent to make profits.It's just that if Liu Qi doesn't pay attention, the people below may play tricks.

Liu Qi frowned and asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Su listened: Well, the new princess probably doesn't even have basic business knowledge.

I had to explain from the beginning: "The internal accounts of the Wangfu are usually managed by the old slave, and every five days they have to be reviewed by Nanny Tang and Eunuch Chousheng to check if there are any problems. It will be handed over to the house every five days, and it will be reviewed by Nanny Tang, Father-in-Law and the old slave. But if it is in other houses, these account books will be directly handed over to the madam for review, without the need for servants Check it again. It seems that the prince sympathized with the suffering of the princess, so he divided it into the hands of the three of us. It's just that the manor under your hand is your dowry after all, and it's not easy for us to intervene..."

Liu Qi heard that the big housekeeper spoke politely. In fact, it was not because he was sympathetic to his hard work, but because he didn't even know how to read the account books.

But Liu Qi would not take matters into his own hands, so it would be good for the three of them to check each other, without bothering himself, and ensuring that there would be no problems.

He flicked his sleeves: "If there is anything wrong with meddling, just help me take a look."

Chen Su still felt that it was unreliable, so he left the account book, saying that he would let Nanny Tang go over it first, and explain the secrets to the princess by the way.

Unexpectedly, after searching for a while, Madam Tang found some problems. The problems were not serious, but the purchase price had been exaggerated, and the biggest difference was only five taels of silver.But Mother Tang knew very well that Mrs. Liu used this shop as a dowry, so she must have reconciled the accounts in advance, and only gave it to Liu Qi when there was no problem.Now that the store has just changed hands, there is a problem. Isn't it bullying the new owner who doesn't know how to read the accounts?If the concubine doesn't care, then these shops will dare to increase little by little in the future, and it is not impossible to spend hundreds of taels of silver in the end.

Nanny Tang was afraid that the concubine would not care about the five taels of silver, so she thought it was a trivial matter, and was thinking about how to make it bigger, when the concubine slapped the table and stood up angrily: "It's unreasonable! These shopkeepers look down on others." Cuicai, you don’t know how to bully me, do you?”

Nanny Tang was overjoyed and quickly said "yes".

Liu Qi said angrily: "Tomorrow I will go to these shops to inspect and see how they play tricks in front of the young master."

During the meal, Liu Qi talked about this matter pretending to be indignant.

Chu Yan raised his eyes when he was taking back his chopsticks, and saw his princess rubbing her hands with a flattering smile, her mind was clear at a glance: "So I think I have to go and see for myself tomorrow, and let them know that I am not easy to fool..."

Chu Yan was prepared to answer: "You are not allowed to go to brothels and gambling houses, you are not allowed to ride horses in the downtown area, you are not allowed to bully the people, and you are not allowed to leave the guards behind."

Liu Qi was taken aback, and was about to argue that he didn't have that idea.

Chu Yan: "Even if you don't use this as an excuse, I won't trap you in the backyard. If you want to go out, just call Chen Subei."

Liu Qi laughed: "I should have said it earlier~"

It just so happened that the next day at the court meeting, Chu Yan got an oral order from his father and told him to go to the court.

Northern Qi Dynasty had to wait in front of the Meridian Gate when Huimao was in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Prince An's Mansion was not too close to the imperial palace, and the journey would take half an hour, which meant that Chu Yanyin had to get up at that hour.

He stood at the front of the hall, yawning one after another, it was useless for Emperor Chengxing to stare at him from time to time, because his eyes hadn't been opened much at all.

So after he came down to court, he was caught and scolded by Emperor Chengxing, and Chu Rui's smile on the side was full of gloating.

Chu Yan is not the only prince in the last dynasty, the second and third are also among them.

Chu He saw that Emperor Chengxing had given enough training, so he said a few words for him: "Father, please calm down. The imperial doctor said a few days ago that the elder brother's body needs a lot of rest. If the elder brother wants to relieve his father's worries, he will It's also a little powerless."

Chu Yan glanced at him lightly.

The second brother was not caring about him, but was saying, "Don't let the big emperor come to court in the future."

Chu Yan didn’t really want to go to court at first, the time was long gone, the carriage on the road was still bumpy, and he had to stand for two hours in the hall to listen to a group of old men tossing and turning Tai Chi, but he didn’t talk about the main points, and he had nothing to do with himself. Pure waste of time.

It wasn't that he was really sleepy this morning, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to avoid the court.

But Chu He's words reminded him that if he didn't go to court, wouldn't he not know anything important?In the past, the princes did not go to the court, but only read the booklets. Everyone was on the same starting line. Now that Chu He and Chu Rui are going to the court, if he does not go, the news will fall behind.

Chu Yan thought for a while, and said, "Father, it's too early to go to court, and my son is really lacking energy."

Chu He's eyes lit up.

"But both younger brothers are going to the imperial court. If I, the eldest brother, don't go, it seems out of order. How about you give Erchen a chair? It is said that there is a prince with a leg disability at the end of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Facing in a wheelchair."

Emperor Chengxing raised his brows: "Nonsense, people have limited legs and feet, what about you? Are you also disabled?"

Chu Yan blurted out: "I'm brainless."

Emperor Chengxing: "..."

Chu Yan coughed lightly, pretending that he hadn't said what he said just now, and said in a persuasive manner: "This chair is not for nothing, you set up a book case, and the minister will record the things discussed at the court meeting according to the facts, so that after the father retires You don’t need to bother to recall things, you only need to glance at the records. If any minister’s advice is effective in the future, it will be convenient to award merits and prevent someone from falsely claiming credit.”

"You just want to be lazy." Emperor Chengxing sneered, but secretly felt that this method was feasible.

The corner of Chu He's mouth froze: "Brother Emperor, this method is even more unruly. Doesn't it seem that the emperor is partial to you, what do the ministers think?"

Chu Yan looked at him with a half-smile: "Second brother, I'm afraid I didn't listen to everything just now, and I'm not completely idle, I just need to record it. I know I'm not as good as the two younger brothers in learning, and I can't get involved in this upward discussion. Talking, but writing two words is still possible. Is it better than me standing there for nothing and listening to the heavenly scriptures? Besides, it is normal for the father to favor his son because of his kindness. What kind of father doesn’t love his children? What about it? When the ministers know about it, they will only praise the true love between father and son, so how can they have any other thoughts?"

Chu He choked for a moment, but couldn't find a word to refute.

Emperor Chengxing knew that Chu Yan was picking good things to say, but he had to say that these words happened to be in his heart.

But it's not right, it's only natural for me to love my boy, and it's the turn of outsiders to talk too much?

Immediately made a decision: "Okay, this is not difficult, let Liang Ye give you a seat at the next court meeting."

"Thank you, father." After Chu Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Rui who was stunned by this wave of operations, "But the second brother just reminded my son and minister that there were three princes in the court, but only the son was seated. , This really seems a bit biased..."

"It's just you who have a lot of things." Emperor Chengxing gave him an angry look, but he didn't mean to blame him. He pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then give Chu Rui a seat, you two are the princes, so The arrangement is also reasonable."

Liang Ye immediately responded with "Yes".

The corner of Chu He's mouth twitched: "..."
