Hongli started getting up early and returning late every day, and Mingyu understood, so she felt relieved. On this day, she sent her maid to invite Madam Gao over.
"Madam, my younger sister has come to pay her respects," Madam Gao said, then walked to Mingyu's seat and bowed.
"Please get up quickly, little sister!" Mingyu smiled faintly and gestured for Gao Shi to get up. The maidservant next to her saw this and quickly went over to help Gao Shi up.
“Sister, the Golden Festival is just around the corner, and there are more and more things to do in the manor. The affairs of the manor are complicated these days, and I will have to ask you for help.” Mingyu said.
A maid came in and brought tea.
"What are you saying, Madam? Everyone knows that Madam is exceptionally intelligent and can handle anything. However, if there is anything you need, I will certainly not refuse. Just give me your orders."
"With your words of comfort, I feel relieved. The days ahead may be very busy, so please be on your best," Mingyu said.
After hearing what the Fujin said, Gao was very happy. She had finally chosen the right person to follow. If she hadn't chosen the Fujin, she probably wouldn't even be able to drink soup now, let alone have the right to manage the household.
"Madam, this is the household's food and drink expenses for this month. Please take a look!" The steward came over with some account books.
"Steward, you can just let Princess Gao see these things. There's no need for me to look at them anymore." Mingyu pinched her brow. There had been too many things going on in the manor lately, and she felt overwhelmed.
"Once you've finished all this, make a list of everything we need for this Golden Festival. We need to get all this sorted out a month from now, so we don't delay Master's business," Mingyu said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing this, the steward went to see Princess Gao.
Mingyu then focused on managing the affairs of the Banjin Festival. Since handing over the affairs of the household to Madam Gao, she rarely inquired about them personally anymore.
On the other side.
"Lili, where are you going?" Xueying's maid, A'luo, was just about to go find her good friend in the kitchen when she saw Lili hurriedly carrying a basket to Gao Gege's place.
She quickly called out to her.
"Lili, why are you running so fast? I was just about to go find you," A'luo asked.
"Oh dear, I have something to do. Wait for me to come back. Recently, Princess Gao has been in charge of things in our mansion. She asked me to take some of the things that the kitchen bought for the mansion to her for a look. I have to go now. If you need anything, just wait for me in my room. I'll be back in a bit." After saying that, Li Li left quickly.
"Hey—" A Luo originally wanted to call her back, but seeing how hurriedly she ran off, she touched her nose and went back.
But then she thought, "Isn't it the Fujin who manages everything in the household? How could it have become Princess Gao's?"
No, she should go and tell the concubine.
Aro hurriedly went back.
"Secondary Consort," A'luo said after curtsying to Xueying, "Secondary Consort, I just heard that Consort Gao is now in charge of all the affairs in the manor. I think it's very unfair. The Consort chooses to let a Consort manage things, but not the Secondary Consort. She's just being too arrogant!"
After hearing her words, Xueying smiled faintly, "It's good that the Princess Consort doesn't want me to interfere. I'm too lazy to deal with all that stuff anyway, so I'm happy to have some peace and quiet. I'd rather spend this time at Qiushui Pavilion with Sister Su. She's in her late pregnancy, and it'll be boring for her if no one's around."
