Chapter 46: Yu Lingye’s romantic debt?
Xie Yingmian said to Yu Lingye seriously, "You reminded me that even mothers and children should settle accounts clearly, and the same applies to us."
"You owe me the medical fee. Please settle it when you have time."
Yu Lingye: "You don't need to ask me for this amount of money, just go to Fu Mo and withdraw it."
"Fu Mo, you decide."
Fu Mo, who listened to the entire conversation between the two, said: ...
He was very sure that there was something really, really wrong with the prince!
He has known the prince for many years and is familiar with his character.
The prince is a man of few words.
To put it bluntly, it's cold.
When he was young, he admired the prince very much and thought that the prince's arrogant and cold look as he looked down on the world was very cool.
Therefore, he also imitated the prince and pretended to be indifferent and taciturn.
People around him said that he was cold and serious.
In fact, they are all fake.
He is just pretending, trying to imitate someone else.
His coldness, his taciturnity, and his indifference were all learned from the prince.
The cold-faced prince was actually chatting with the princess about family matters, and the content of the chat was still complaining about the princess dowager's unscrupulous subsidies to her natal family.
It's so magical.
"First, give me the 20,000 taels." Xie Yingmian said to Yu Lingye, "Your consultation fee is 15,000 taels, and I'll take half of Fu Mo and Fu Feng's consultation fee, a total of 5,000 taels."
Fu Mo hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will find a way to cover my share with Fu Feng. We don't need to ask Your Highness for anything."
Xie Yingmian disagreed: "This money should be paid by His Royal Highness Prince Ling."
Even if Fufeng and Fumo were to raise the money, it would take them forever.
The money is yours only when it is in your hands, and she can't wait that long.
Fu Mo firmly disagreed.
He always insisted on paying for it himself and repaying Xie Yingmian in installments.
Xie Yingmian was speechless.
This Fu Mo was driven like an ox or a horse, and he treated them like an ox or a horse that didn't even eat grass.
"Let me ask you, where were you poisoned?"
Fu Mo said, "Prince Ling's Mansion."
Xie Yingmian: "Let me ask you again, why were you poisoned?"
Fu Mo: "To protect Danyue Courtyard and the prince."
Xie Yingmian: "That's it."
"You were injured while protecting the prince in Prince Ling's mansion. This means you were injured while working. His Highness Prince Ling is your employer, and this portion of the money should be paid by your employer."
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. This is called a work-related injury and it's the employee benefit you deserve."
Fu Mo: It seems to make sense, but I also feel like something is wrong.
Yu Lingye narrowed his eyes.
This was the second time he heard the word "employee benefits" from Xie Yingmian.
“Could you elaborate on the employee benefits?”
"It means literally, your subordinates work under you, and they get rewards outside of their monthly allowance. That's called employee benefits." Xie Yingmian was filled with gossip from the concubine, and her mouth was opened.
"Employee benefits fall into many categories. One is tangible material benefits, such as gifts and bonuses during festivals, employee meals, employee clothing, and so on."
"The other is invisible, such as working five days and taking two days off, taking holidays, or organizing a publicly funded dinner every once in a while."
"People like Fu Mo and Fu Feng were poisoned for you and nearly died. Paying their medical expenses is the most basic employee benefit."
"Under normal circumstances, additional compensation would be required."
"Employees' input and output must be balanced. If the deficit is too great, resentment will arise, and over time, morale will be weakened."
"Give employees more benefits so they feel a sense of belonging. When people are united, even mountains can be moved."
"In short, employee benefits are various rewards outside of the monthly allowance. Their main function is to achieve great things with little money, unite people, and consolidate strength."
A glimmer of light flashed through Yu Lingye’s mind.
The troubles that had been lingering in my mind suddenly became clear.
Several people were talking.
Someone came to report from outside.
Fu Mo went out for a while and soon came back with an invitation.
"Your Highness, here's your invitation." Fu Mo handed the invitation to Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian originally thought that the Queen Mother had summoned her into the palace or something.
She was also wondering, the empress dowager should have given the invitation or imperial edict to the concubine, so why did it send it to her?
Who would have thought that the invitation was not sent by the Queen Mother at all.
The person who sent the invitation was named Princess Lan Ning.
"Princess Lan Ning invited me to appreciate the flowers?" Xie Yingmian was very surprised.
She had just come here not long ago and didn't know anyone else except Yu Lingye, Fu Mo and others.
The original owner had lived on a farm since she was a child and had no contact with the circle of noble ladies in Beijing.
"Why would Princess Lan Ning invite me to appreciate the flowers for no reason?"
Yu Lingye said: "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Xie Yingmian pinched her chin.
She really had no interest in appreciating the flowers, she was just curious.
Princess Lan Ning had no connection with her, and her identity was more like a princess who was seeking happiness.
Yu Lingye announced to the public that he was still unconscious.
From the perspective of outsiders, she, the princess who got married for good fortune, would be buried with Yu Lingye at any time.
It is really puzzling that Princess Lan Ning sent the invitation under such circumstances.
"I'm planning to go." Xie Yingmian looked at the date on the invitation. "The flower viewing date is in half a month, so there's plenty of time."
Paused.
She asked Yu Lingye, "Do you know Princess Lan Ning?"
She always felt that the reason Princess Lan Ning invited her was because of Yu Lingye.
That princess might be the one who caused Yu Lingye to have a romantic relationship with her.
She told Yu Lingye her thoughts.
Yu Lingye denied it very firmly: "Impossible."
"I've only met Princess Lan Ning once or twice from a distance at royal banquets."
Xie Yingmian: "What if I fall in love with you at first sight?"
Yu Lingye: "Even more impossible."
In order to find a princess for him to marry, his mother consulted almost all the noble ladies of appropriate age in the capital.
If Princess Lan Ning had feelings for him, the current Princess Ling might be Princess Lan Ning.
Xie Yingmian disagreed with this statement.
Different times, different circumstances.
At the beginning, Fang Yilin also wanted to become Princess Ling.
Yu Lingye's life or death was uncertain, so Fang Yilin backed out because she didn't want to be a widow.
The same situation may be happening to Princess Lan Ning.
Or maybe, Princess Lan Ning was willing to marry Yu Lingye, but was stopped by her family and could not respond, and she felt jealous when she saw her marry Yu Lingye.
Anyway, the reality is much more outrageous than the stories in the novels.
Xie Yingmian said calmly, "Your face is indeed very likely to attract romantic interests."
Yu Lingye's face was filled with black lines: "I'm really not familiar with Princess Lan Ning."
"If you're really worried, let Fu Mo go and find out."
Xie Yingmian waved her hand and said there was no need to go and check.
If Princess Lan Ning wasn't a fool like Fang Yilin, she wouldn't have attacked her while they were admiring the flowers.
If Princess Lan Ning is an idiot, then it will be easier to deal with.
Xie Yingmian doesn't want to cause trouble, but she is not afraid of it either.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Just as Yu Lingye said, the nanny beside the Concubine Dowager came.
The nanny did not enter Tanyue Courtyard, but only delivered messages outside.
The nanny didn't say whether it was the Queen Mother's order, she only said that the Concubine Dowager wanted Xie Yingmian to go to Fengzaoyuan.
Xie Yingmian wanted to go back and dress up first.
The nanny seemed very anxious and kept saying that the Concubine Dowager was very anxious and told Xie Yingmian not to be so polite.
Xie Yingmian's face darkened.
