"Never mind, since things turned out this way by chance, that night happened, and then I married into the Prince's mansion."
It seems that fate has its own plan. Yu'er is also your son. I'll tell you that now!
On the night I gave birth to him, there was a violent storm with constant thunder, so I named him Ye Jingyu.
"Ye Jingyu?"
"kindness!"
"Good, good name. On a stormy night, with thunder and lightning, it is a gift from heaven, fitting the occasion and the scene. Your Highness has great literary talent."
"But you must have had a very tough time back then, right?"
"What do you think? I almost lost my life."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan's face showed a hint of self-reproach. He pulled Ye Qingcheng into his arms and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault that you've suffered."
Ye Qingcheng was momentarily stunned by Qin Mohan's sudden embrace, her heart pounding wildly like a deer.
The two of them didn't know how long they hugged.
Until someone made a sound.
Ye Qingcheng finally realized what was happening and quickly pushed Qin Mohan away with a shy expression.
Qin Mohan wasn't angry after being pushed away; instead, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Then he turned to look at the person who had come.
All I could see was...
Butler Wang led a few people toward them.
"This old servant greets Your Highness and Your Highness."
"This servant greets Your Highness and Your Highness."
"kindness!"
Qin Mohan nodded to them.
Butler Wang said, "Your Highness, these people are the managers of all the shops in the capital owned by our royal family."
This is Xue Yao, the owner of a cloth shop in the city.
This is Jin Guiren, the owner of the rice shop in the west of the city.
This is…………
Butler Wang introduced the five or six shopkeepers that Yiyi had brought.
Ye Qingcheng nodded after hearing this.
"Your Highness, these are the account books for these shops over the years. Please take a look."
As he spoke, Butler Wang handed a large stack of account books to Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the ledgers and felt completely overwhelmed.
"Butler Wang, I won't look at these ledgers. Just tell me how these shops are doing? What are the profits like?"
"Your Highness, these shops have been doing fairly well over the years, but the income has been meager."
"Meager income?"
"kindness!"
"Okay, I understand. You guys go back first! I'll check on those shops when I have some free time."
"Yes, we will take our leave."
After the shopkeepers finished speaking, they left.
Only Steward Wang remained.
"Your Highness, you also need to check the accounts of our household over the years."
"Haven't you always been in charge of the household accounts?"
"Yes, old servant, that's right, but you are the mistress of the house, so you should check the overall accounts of the house."
"Oh! No need to check, I believe you."
"No, Your Highness, if you don't approve, how will we know how much wealth the household has, and how will the accounts be managed in the future? All of these things will require your permission from now on."
"This...isn't that necessary? Isn't it enough with you here? You can do whatever you want."
"This old servant dares not."
"you…"
“Your Highness, Steward Wang is right. As the mistress of the mansion, you should know all the finances of the mansion. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know if the mansion is in debt.”
“You… never mind, never mind, Steward Wang, just take the account book to Wisteria Courtyard! I’ll look at it when I have time when I get back.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Alright, also, go and fetch two maids to take care of Xiao Tao in her room."
"Yes, this old servant will take care of it right away."
After answering, Steward Wang withdrew.
"Qin Mohan, you want me to manage such a huge palace? Are you trying to kill me with work?"
"Your Highness is too kind. I am reluctant to part with you, but you are my princess and the mistress of the royal household, so it is only right that I do so."
Furthermore, I believe that under the Princess's management, the Prince's residence will only improve in the future.
"Hmph, don't flatter me."
"Alright, Your Highness, there's no rush in these matters of the manor. You can take care of them whenever you have time and want to."
"Whatever you wish to do, simply give the order to Butler Wang."
"Hmm! That's more like it."
Ye Qingcheng nodded in satisfaction, then stood up: "Alright, let's go!"
Where to?
"Of course I'll go back and check if Qinglong has prepared the medicinal herbs you need for the medicinal bath."
"good."
After saying that, the two left the pavilion.
They returned to Qin Mohan's courtyard, but Qinglong had not yet returned.
Qin Mohan then led Ye Qingcheng to his study.
After entering, Ye Qingcheng walked around the study and saw a military book on the table. She picked it up and flipped through a few pages.
"Hmm? The princess understands military strategy?"
Qin Mohan saw Ye Qingcheng flipping through the pages and asked a question.
Ye Qingcheng raised an eyebrow and glanced at him: "They're all books. Anyone who can read can understand them!"
"Your Highness, I find this answer hard to believe."
"Isn't that right? These are all words on them, so what secret could there be?"
"No, that's not true. It's just that this military treatise is extremely profound. If you haven't been on the battlefield, you won't understand anything about it. Even if you can read, you probably won't be able to read a single page!"
"Uh? I... actually I don't understand it either, I'm just bored and have to keep the books company."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan's lips curled into a smile: "Your Highness, are you treating me as if I don't exist?"
"When did I ever pretend you didn't exist?" Ye Qingcheng said, rolling her eyes at Qin Mohan.
"With me by your side, how could you possibly be bored?"
