The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 95 Thank you for the invitation. I will be exhausted.

When King Xuan came to pick up Xue Qingyin, she had already played for half an hour.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Xuan." The palace maids in Qingsi Palace knelt down to salute.

King Xuan walked past them and went straight to Xue Qingyin's side.

Xue Qingyin raised her face and asked, "Are you going back?"

"Yes."

"I haven't finished watching this shadow play yet." Xue Qingyin's tone was regretful, but she still stood up.

King Xuan glanced at the court artists kneeling on the ground in front of him.

These people were introduced to the court when the Queen of the Central Palace was still alive because the Queen liked them. Later, the Queen was gone, and slowly no noble summoned them to perform shadow play.

King Xuan's eyes moved slightly and asked, "Do you like shadow play?"

Xue Qingyin said, "It's the first time I saw it. It's very fresh."

King Xuan nodded slightly and ordered the people around him to take the reward for Xue Qingyin. Then the two walked in front and stepped out of the door together.

The palace servants opened their mouths in astonishment when they saw Xue Qingyin and King Xuan walking side by side. It was not until they could no longer see their figures that they came to their senses and pushed their chins back to their proper positions.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Xue Qingyin counted today's rewards.

King Xuan rode on horseback, parallel to the carriage, and could hear the rustling sound coming from inside.

It was unknown how long Xue Qingyin had been turning over.

He suddenly heard her say, "Your Highness is really as good as a god." Then she lifted the curtain, revealing her charming face like a flower: "Look, today's harvest is quite rich."

As she said this, she opened the box in her arms for him to see.

King Xuan seemed to be uninterested, and he only glanced at it and stopped looking.

Xue Qingyin put the box on the back of her hand and reached out to hook the hem of King Xuan's clothes.

King Xuan paused, and immediately returned his gaze to her.

The guards following behind watched as the concubine hooked her finger at His Royal Highness Prince Xuan.

This gesture was really treasonous.

But Prince Xuan still bent down and put his ear close to the person in the sedan.

"What's the matter?" Prince Xuan asked.

Xue Qingyin suddenly stuck her head out and kissed him on the face.

She said, "Nothing."

Prince Xuan was stunned.

He paused for a moment before straightening up. When he looked at Xue Qingyin again, his eyes became deep.

Xue Qingyin lowered the sedan curtain, but quietly looked out from a corner.

She could see that Prince Xuan's hand holding the reins had obviously become much stronger. The blue veins on the back of his hand were slightly protruding because of the tension.

It really worked!

A kiss would immediately change his previous carelessness and become concerned!

Xue Qingyin found it interesting!

They continued to move forward silently, as if nothing had happened.

But the guards behind him almost popped their eyes out.

In broad daylight, this, this closeness...

Your Highness said nothing, which was indulgence!

Half an hour later, Xue Qingyin sat alone in the hall. Seeing the housekeeper come in, she asked, "Why did you invite me here?"

The housekeeper bowed respectfully and said, "No one in the mansion has paid homage to the concubine yet. Today, I dare to bring her here."

Xue Qingyin thought about it and decided that if she wanted to live comfortably in the palace, she should not refuse.

"Then trouble... What's the housekeeper's surname?"

"My surname is Lu."

"Then trouble housekeeper Lu." Xue Qingyin said politely.

"I dare not, I dare not." Housekeeper Lu did not even dare to raise his head.

After bowing to Xue Qingyin again, he turned around and ordered the other palace people to come in.

"These are the ones who serve in the Cunxin Palace."

"These are the ones who serve in the kitchen."

...

Butler Lu introduced them one by one, probably to help Xue Qingyin understand the structure of the palace and the functions of different people.

Xue Qingyin was overwhelmed by what she heard.

Managing such a large palace is really not a job for a human being.

Fortunately, with her status, she can reasonably mess things up.

Butler Lu also noticed Xue Qingyin's drowsiness, and he said gently: "Concubine, please bear with it for a while, there are only a few left now."

After that, he clapped his hands.

Then, several older palace servants stepped into the door.

Butler Lu said: "These are from the East Palace."

Xue Qingyin sobered up a little, and asked: "Since you are from the East Palace, why did you stay in Prince Xuan's Mansion?"

One of them bowed and said: "Concubine, you don't recognize me. I am the wet nurse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When His Royal Highness Xuan was still young, I took care of him for a few days."

These details will naturally not be written in the original book.

Xue Qingyin suddenly realized that the King Xuan had been raised by the Queen in the past?

The man bowed again and said, "Today I am honored to see the Concubine. She is indeed a pretty beauty. But the Concubine is thin and should take more supplements."

Xue Qingyin did not like others to point fingers at her, nor did she like others to take advantage of their seniority. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Madam, have you never heard of the principle that a weak body cannot be supplemented?"

The man was silent for a while and said, "Then you should take good care of your body so that you can give birth to a child for Your Highness as soon as possible."

Steward Lu frowned on the side: "Madam Zhen."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself that the wet nurses in ancient times were really amazing.

She yawned lazily and said, "Standard Lu, is there anything else? If not, I will rest."

She ignored Madam Zhen at all.

Steward Lu hurriedly said, "And..."

He clapped his hands again, and then saw two guards carrying a huge box in.

Xue Qingyin sat up straight.

What? Another gift?

Butler Lu ordered someone to open the box, but what was presented to Xue Qingyin was a bunch of... books?

"These are the account books of the various properties in the palace. Except for the fiefdom, they are all here." Butler Lu said.

The accounts of the fiefdom are under the charge of the officials of the palace.

That thing involves the fiefdom tax and so on, and it will never be sent to Xue Qingyin.

But even so, this box of account books is enough to surprise people.

Xue Qingyin pointed at herself: "For me?"

Butler Lu nodded, took out something and handed it to Xue Qingyin respectfully, saying: "These are the keys to the warehouses in the palace."

The bunch of keys will make a dinging sound when you shake it lightly.

Xue Qingyin was silent.

Isn't this right?

Didn't we agree to come here to be a concubine at the beginning?

Why do I have to take care of this thing too?

"This is a seal." Butler Lu was still taking things out.

"Wait." Xue Qingyin immediately stopped him.

"This will tire me to death." Xue Qingyin said very frankly.

Housekeeper Lu paused, looking surprised.

Shouldn't she be very happy to hand over the household affairs of the palace to the concubine?

Sometimes, even the wife of an ordinary family may not be able to get the power.

Xue Qingyin has a clear understanding of her own weight. The Xue family's property is different... First, she has Mrs. Xue's help, and second, she will not feel guilty if she squanders the Xue family. Anyway, as long as it doesn't fall into He Songning's hands, it's okay.

But the property of Prince Xuan's palace is used to support the entire palace.

If it is squandered, at the very least, her luxurious clothes and delicious food will be gone?

At the most, how to support the palace soldiers?

It is very expensive to support an army!

"So the concubine should take good care of her body." Nanny Zhen advised.

Xue Qingyin:?

You are not right.

You are a nanny who takes advantage of your age. You are so unruly that you don't say a word when you see that housekeeper Lu handed over the household affairs to me?

So you only care whether I can give birth to a child for King Xuan, right?

At the Prince of Wei's mansion.

The old nanny in the mansion also advised Liu Yuerong to take care of herself expressionlessly.

"The princess is weak, and she only had one dish of food today. How can she be strong and give birth to a child as soon as possible?"

Liu Yuerong felt ashamed when she heard the second half of the sentence.

But thinking that the nanny's tone was really harsh, she couldn't bear it and frowned.

The old nanny ignored it and continued, "Yesterday, the Prince of Wei did not stay in the princess' room. Does the princess know the reason?"

Liu Yuerong said with shame, "I don't know."

The old nanny said, "The princess should reflect on herself. If one day the concubine gets pregnant first, it will be a joke."

Liu Yuerong was so angry that a thin layer of red appeared on her face.

She didn't expect that an old maid would dare to tell her what to do, and she said unhappily: "Then just give the concubine contraceptive pills. Wait until I give birth to a legitimate son before I allow her to get pregnant."

The old maid looked at her, frowning even tighter, as if she was looking at a fool: "What kind of person is the princess as a concubine? She is not a lowly concubine. Her father is the governor of Jiannan Road. How can you feed her contraceptive pills at will?"

Liu Yuerong became more and more annoyed as she listened, and couldn't help but say: "You are a servant, how can you tell me?"

The old maid was unmoved: "I was sent to the mansion by the imperial concubine. I am afraid that the princess is ignorant of the world and needs the old maid to assist her. If the princess is dissatisfied, she can tell the imperial concubine when she pays respects tomorrow."

She didn't have time to please her mother-in-law, so how could she dare to complain to the imperial concubine Wan?

Liu Yuerong frowned angrily and wanted to hear some good news to calm down.

She turned her head and asked the maid beside her: "Did Prince Xuan receive any reprimands in his mansion today?"

It was the old nanny who answered, and she said with a stern face: "Today, Prince Xuan and his concubine both received rewards from the palace."

Liu Yuerong stood up and said: "How is it possible?"

"Yes, how could it be? A concubine can please the Queen Mother and the current emperor." The old nanny said coldly, "Princess, you still need to work hard."

How to work hard?

Liu Yuerong was angry and confused. Should she learn from Xue Qingyin and sleep until noon before going to the palace to pay respects?
