When Hongli and Fucha Jinyi left the palace on the fifth day of the month, Chen Yuwei's storeroom in Yikun Palace was nearly half full of the rewards she had received over the past few days.

As soon as she left, Chen Yuwei told Xia He to quickly open the storeroom and organize the accounts.

While it was still fresh and hot, Chen Yuwei finally figured out her income this time.

"So many, Xia He, you didn't make any mistakes in organizing them?"

Chen Yuwei looked surprised, clutching the thick stack of account books in her hand, thinking to herself that no wonder the Emperor seemed a little dizzy the night before she left the capital.

If you give too many nice things as a token of affection, you'll probably realize it and start to feel bad about it.

I must say, it's quite a lot. This thick stack represents the income from the past few days.

Some of the large decorative vases are over a meter tall, and there are also precious ginseng, deer antler, and delicacies from land and sea, truly improving all aspects of life, from food and clothing to daily necessities.

Xia He touched her pounding chest, "Your Majesty, it's all true."

Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if it hadn't been tidied up; the tidying up left even Xia He stunned.

So many? And each one is a tribute, a rare treasure.

Normally, you wouldn't want an item of equal value unless it's a holiday or special occasion.

Meanwhile, their master brought back a whole bunch of things by taking a trip to inspect the border regions.

I made a profit!

Both master and servant felt that if there were similar transactions in the future, they would definitely continue doing so.

Anyway, I/my master won't fall out of favor; it's just a few months of being alone in my room, which isn't a big problem.

"Put all of these away. If the storeroom isn't enough, we'll move some out from the rooms in the back hall."

Yonghu will be going to the Prince's residence in two years, so we need to collect a batch of artifacts to keep in reserve.

Chen Yuwei pondered for a moment, then made arrangements for the items in her hands.

First of all, including Khoja and Fulinga, none of them can be missing.

Furthermore, some of it should be set aside as her own private property.

Finally, keep a close eye on the palace servants of Yikun Palace, remember the palace rules, and be careful not to cause trouble by speaking carelessly.

Xia He had no doubt about this; her master's orders were the basis for her actions.

As for whether the master's words were wrong? That's the master's fault; remember your duty as a servant.

Xia He withdrew in response, taking with her the booklet from Chen Yuwei's hands.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Chen Yuwei simply got up and strolled over to the octagonal table, casually flipping through a few accounts sent by the Imperial Household Department.

It should be noted that although Chen Yuwei is currently temporarily in charge of palace affairs, the major palace affairs still need to be carried out according to the rules that Fucha Jinyi had already established.

The monthly allowances and quotas for each palace cannot be changed at will.

So what was Chen Yuwei's role? She would occasionally glance at the palace to make sure the people in the Imperial Household Department weren't slacking off, and she would also handle some minor daily matters in the harem, such as which servant had violated palace rules or messed up their duties.

Anyway, it's all just a bunch of trivial and messy things. Even without Chen Yuwei, Changchun Palace can still manage well.

Fortunately, Chen Yuwei had a good attitude and knew from the start that she wouldn't get a big advantage.

Alright, let's take this opportunity to place some unimportant people in the harem and make arrangements in advance.

After pondering for a while, he decided on the main direction and goals that Yikun Palace would focus on next.

Chen Yuwei turned and left, leaving behind only the scattered and disorganized account books.

Throughout May, it's unknown how Hongli and the others fared in the borderlands, but Chen Yuwei, hiding in the palace, certainly had a very good time.

Neither the Imperial Household Department nor the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau showed any disrespect to Yikun Palace.

Chen Yuwei had previously obtained a batch of Jiangnan fabrics from Hongli.

Now all of them have been made into clothes by the embroiderers of the Imperial Clothing Bureau and sent back.

Several children, including herself, received a change of clothes, and even the palace staff throughout Yikun Palace received an extra set of clothes.

Apart from that, no one from Changchun Palace tried to cause trouble for Chen Yuwei.

Perhaps she was being specifically watched by Fucha Jinyi, because every month around the middle and end of the month, someone from Changchun Palace would come to deliver the relevant accounts for her to review.

Although this is just a public ceremony and doesn't serve any real purpose.

But Changchun Palace gave her plenty of face, so Chen Yuwei naturally didn't make things difficult for her, and the two got along very well.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Yuwei also had Xia He send people to the Prince's residence or other palaces, such as Baohua Hall and the Imperial Garden.

These are all relatively unimportant positions that pose little threat to the harem, but they are indispensable connections in daily life.

Every time Xia He finished a task and reported back to Chen Yuwei, she would receive praise from her mistress.

Chen Yuwei even thought she was a genius, succeeding at everything she did. Sure enough, even in a palace intrigue drama, she could still handle it.

As June arrives, the weather gradually warms up.

Normally, he would either go to the Old Summer Palace or the Imperial Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

But since the Emperor and Empress were not in the palace this year, Chen Yuwei couldn't run away, so she could only use the ice she had stockpiled during the winter to cool down.

With so many fewer people in the palace now, there's definitely enough ice.

At least until Hongli and the others return in July or August, Chen Yuwei can live a comfortable and wealthy life.

Ice bowls and desserts were placed on the table early on, and Chen Yuwei and her children enjoyed this special treatment with great delight.

Yonghu and the other two still went to the Qianqing Palace every day to study with Master Buku, but the intensity of their studies had decreased significantly compared to when the Emperor was not around.

Chen Yuwei doesn't spoil the children, but Yonghu and the others are still young, and the intensity of their training is too high, which is not good for them.
