Ni Yueshan was still eating lunch when a servant came over and reported, "Princess, the man imprisoned in the woodshed is banging his head against the wall like crazy."
Ni Yueshan chuckled and said, "Why not just knock him out?"
The servant suddenly realized: "I will go right away!"
Qingdie served food to Ni Yueshan: "She wants to commit suicide, right?"
"She had evil intentions. Even if she succeeded in committing suicide, I wouldn't feel bad. It's just a pity that no one is taking care of the jewelry store."
Ni Yueshan felt a headache. He had to admit that although the sales volume was not large, the income of the shop was considerable. One order was enough to pay the monthly salary of the store's employees.
"Then hire someone to take care of it?"
Ni Yueshan shook her head. "Currently, Yu Fei has cooperated with the Queen. If the Queen's people find out that the store has found a new manager, do you think they will suspect that something is wrong with Yu Fei?"
Qingdie looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise. He really thought it through thoroughly.
"Well, that makes sense, but we can't just leave it alone, right?"
"So this is where my headache comes in..."
Ni Yueshan stood up and went to find Concubine Miao.
Although Concubine Miao returned to Prince Chen's Mansion, she and Ni Yueshan kept to themselves and did not interfere with each other or visit each other.
"Princess?" Concubine Miao quickly stood up and saluted.
Ni Yueshan looked down at her and asked, "How good are you at settling accounts?"
Concubine Miao looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise and said, "Of course I have learned how to manage household affairs at home, but I have never had the opportunity to practice."
"Why don't you give me a chance to practice?"
As the daughter of a wealthy family, if she becomes the head of the family in the future, she will naturally have to learn how to manage the household to support herself. So Ni Yueshan is not surprised that Concubine Miao knows some things.
When the jewelry account book was placed in front of Concubine Miao, she looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "Princess, you opened a shop?"
"This shop is a collaboration between Yu Fei and me, but Yu Fei is not here right now, and I never take care of the shop. We need to find someone to take charge of it!"
Concubine Miao suddenly realized: "If the princess trusts me, I will take over without hesitation."
"That's great." Ni Yueshan looked at her happily. It seemed that Concubine Miao was not kept in the mansion for nothing.
Seeing that Concubine Miao was indeed good at calculating the accounts, Ni Yueshan handed the account book to her with confidence, and also handed over the business of the store to her.
Ni Yueshan then comfortably took care of her pregnancy.

At the gold mine, after a period of time of working day and night to dig a tunnel, the tunnel has been opened and is now accessible.
The emperor also wanted all the gold in the mines.
The emperor was still resentful of Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng's deception, so he arrested all the miners who had participated in the mining, brought them before him, and interrogated them one by one...
"Tell me, are you helping Prince Chen conceal the truth about my mine?"
The miners looked at the magnificent hall, and had no mood to look around and admire its grandeur. Instead, they trembled with fear, and cold sweat covered their bodies.
Seeing that everyone just lowered their heads and dared not say a word, the emperor raised the corner of his mouth with a mocking smile.
"If you don't tell me, I'll kill them one by one!"
The emperor gave a signal, and immediately a guard came in, pulled one of them and walked out.
The man screamed in fear: "Your Majesty, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!"
The man was quickly dragged out, and then the guards came to report: "Your Majesty, the man has been beheaded."
"Well, if after an incense stick of time, no one says anything, then I'll kill another one."
Some people present could not bear the shock and fainted, while others became incontinent on the spot. The emperor frowned tightly, looking a little displeased, and finally someone took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Chen chose to lie simply for the sake of peace between the two countries. He had no intention of taking the mine for himself. The mine has always been there. The Prince of Chen is concerned about the country and the people!"
The emperor sneered: "So this is all Prince Chen's idea and has nothing to do with the Crown Prince?"
Everyone present was stunned. Why did it sound like they had said something wrong?
The emperor's expression grew increasingly solemn. He spoke in a calm voice, "Since he dared to disobey me, how can I still use him as my most trusted son?"
He slammed his palm hard on the armrest of the dragon throne, his eyes fierce.
In Prince Chen's Mansion, Ni Yueshan was still eating dinner alone when he saw the servants bringing in Duan Gouqiong and Shao Lecheng.
Ni Yueshan was a little surprised. Why did the two of them come to Prince Chen’s Mansion so late?
"How come you have no time to come?" Ni Yueshan stood up.
Duan Gouqiong's face was filled with melancholy. "I was just wondering, I don't know what's wrong with the Emperor. He had a disagreement with Tufan before, and now he's thinking of sending Princess Xianchang to marry Tufan. Now Lecheng is the Crown Prince, and he will lead the princess to Tufan."
Ni Yueshan was surprised: "So, you are here to say goodbye to me?"
"Yes, we don't know how long this trip will take, and Jing Yuchen is not in the capital, so you will be guarding Prince Chen's Mansion alone." Duan Gouqiong said, reaching out to hold Ni Yueshan's hand, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Ni Yueshan chuckled softly, "It's okay. I have Qingfeng and Qingdie to protect me, and the Prime Minister's Mansion to back me up. Plus, I won't make any mistakes. As the Princess of Chen, who can shake me?"
Shao Lecheng hesitated and felt depressed. "I don't think this emperor has such good intentions. He wants to form a marriage alliance to benefit the people. I'm afraid he's playing some shady tricks. He might not have given up on the mine yet. We're here to say goodbye to you. You must take good care of yourself."
As he spoke, his eyes moved down to Ni Yueshan's abdomen: "Take good care of the baby, I still want to be an uncle."
