Looking at Lu Xingzhou's serious look, Shen Liyue couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your Highness, don't be nervous. I just want to ask Your Highness, now that I have entered the mansion, should I raise their status? It's only my second day here, and I don't dare to make the decision, so I came here specifically to ask Your Highness." Shen Liyue said.
Lu Xingzhou didn't know whether Chen Liyue was truly magnanimous or just jealous but didn't dare to say it. He waved his hand and said, "From now on, all the internal affairs of the palace will be decided by you. You don't need to ask me about such trivial matters. If you don't like them, just send them away."
Shen Liyue was a little surprised: "Send him out?"
Deep Red and Light Red were given by the Queen Mother. How could she send them away?
Lu Xingzhou said, "How about that? I promised my father-in-law and mother-in-law that Prince Yi's mansion will only have you as the mistress, and I will never take in any concubines or concubines."
Shen Liyue smiled but said nothing. She believed that Lu Xingzhou was sincere in his promise at the moment, but who could know what would happen in the future?
After lunch, Shen Liyue felt a little sleepy. She had gotten up early today, and now she felt like her eyelids were fighting.
But she still had a lot of things to do. After Shenhong and Qianhong left, the steward delivered the palace's account books and the corresponding keys to the treasury. Seeing that the palace was in perfect order, Shen Liyue knew that Butler Jin had managed the palace very well before. Shen Liyue wanted to let Butler Jin continue to manage it, but Butler Jin said cheerfully, "The prince has instructed that after the princess enters the palace, the management of the household will be handed over to her. He is afraid that the princess will be tired, so he asked me to deliver the household account books first. After the princess has sorted it out, the account books of the farm and the store outside will also be handed over to the princess."
Shen Liyue was overwhelmed when she heard this. She had done nothing this morning and hadn't even finished looking through the account books yet.
Lu Xingzhou took her hand and dragged her to take a nap.
Shen Liyue refused. She was impatient and would get anxious if something was left undone.
Lu Xingzhou said, "Don't worry. Is it Manager Jin who's putting pressure on you? I'll go find him right away."
Chen Liyue quickly grabbed Lu Xingzhou. Manager Jin was just following orders. It was Lu Xingzhou himself who gave the order, so how could he be blamed?
Lu Xingzhou was pulled by Shen Liyue, and he dragged her to the bed with the strength of Shen Liyue's hand, and pulled the bed curtain himself.
"If you have anything to say, wait until you wake up." Lu Xingzhou said.
Shen Liyue straightened up from the bed, “I haven’t taken off my clothes yet!”
Lu Xingzhou smiled and said, "I'll help the princess change her clothes."
Shen Liyue's bones were almost broken apart from this sleep. Lu Xingzhou, who had tasted the sweetness, had restrained himself last night, but today he was like a hungry beast, ready to eat Shen Liyue alive.
Shen Liyue didn't even know when she fell asleep. She only knew that when she woke up, Lu Xingzhou was no longer in bed.
Chen Liyue called someone in to wait on her. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, she asked, "What time is it now?"
An Xiang smiled and said, "To answer the princess, it's almost evening."
It's so late? Chen Liyue felt a little embarrassed. A bride slept for half the day after entering the family home. This is probably not the case in other families. Although she doesn't have to live with her mother-in-law, she is afraid that there is no other such person in the capital.
Shuying also smiled and said, "The prince loves the princess. When he got up, he specifically ordered that the princess should not be disturbed. Besides, the prince and the princess are the only two masters in the Prince Yi Mansion. No one dares to say anything."
Shen Liyue was ashamed, but no one dared to say anything. However, if others knew about it, they would probably laugh at her in their hearts.
Chen Liyue quickly got up. It would be time for dinner soon and Lu Xingzhou would be back soon. It would be bad to let him see her still lying in bed.

Chen Lijiao attended Chen Liyue's wedding yesterday, and she felt very upset after returning.
She could never accept it in her heart. She and Shen Liyue were both daughters of the Shen family, but why could Shen Liyue marry so well? Yesterday, she disguised herself as Xu Qier's maid and went with Xu Qier. At the dinner, she didn't even have a seat. She could only stand in the corner, standing with the maids of other noble ladies.
Xu Qier's personal maid Yuxi kept staring at her, fearing that she might cause trouble, but what trouble could she cause?
In the past, she always wanted to compare herself with Chen Liyue, and she thought she was no worse than Chen Liyue. It was just that Chen Liyue was lucky, with a pair of loving parents and her mother's family was rich, but these were not the most important things. Chen Lijiao had always hoped that she could marry better than Chen Liyue, but now, she married into the He family, while Chen Liyue married Prince Yi.
Now she could only wear the clothes of Xu's servants and watch Prince Yi wearing a bright red wedding dress, drinking with others in high spirits.
Seeing this scene, Shen Lijiao's eyes almost bleed. When they were getting married just now, Shen Lijiao wanted to rush up and tear off Shen Liyue's wedding dress.
Not to mention Yuxi staring at her, in front of the emperor and empress, Chen Lijiao could only tremble.
Their bright red wedding dresses were so eye-catching. When Chen Lijiao and He Zhen got married, it was just a formality, while the wedding of Lu Xingzhou and Shen Liyue could be called a grand wedding.
On the day of Chen Liyue and Lu Xingzhou's wedding, the news also reached the Northern Frontier. Fang Zhiran was in a bad mood. Although he had known the news a long time ago, he was still deeply shocked on this day.
Fang Zhiran had swapped shifts with someone else, so he wasn't on duty tonight and could drink.
He drank pot after pot of wine. At first, it felt very spicy, but as he drank more, he became numb and he could hardly tell the taste of the wine.
Fang Zhiran was drunk and was carried back to his tent by the soldiers.
When He Yinxue saw Fang Zhiran like this, she couldn't tell whether she felt distressed or relieved.
It's not a pleasant feeling to watch the person you love marry someone else, right? Just like in the past when He Yinxue loved Fang Zhiran, and Fang Zhiran always had Chen Liyue in his heart.
Now Fang Zhiran could finally empathize with her, and He Yinxue felt extremely happy.
Only when Fang Zhiran experiences it himself will he know how painful his heart is.
He Yinxue fetched some water to wipe Fang Zhiran's body. Fang Zhiran opened his eyes in a daze, and for a moment he seemed to see Shen Liyue's face.
"Yue'er..." Fang Zhiran grabbed He Yinxue's hand and murmured.
He Yinxue couldn't break free and whispered, "My Lord, you hurt me."
But Fang Zhiran didn't care about so many things, and simply turned over and pressed He Yinxue under him.
He Yinxue knew in her heart that Fang Zhiran had admitted his mistake, but she did not refuse and cooperated with Fang Zhiran.
At dawn the next day, Fang Zhiran woke up from a splitting headache and felt someone beside him. He glanced sideways and saw that it was He Yinxue.
He Yinxue was naked, and her body was covered with red spots, which was enough to show how fierce the battle was last night.
Fang Zhiran's head hurt even more. He didn't remember what happened last night at all, but fortunately that person was He Yinxue, not another woman, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.
