Chapter 26 The princess was stupid and didn't care!

Luo Li had a good nap. When she closed her eyes, she saw Ruhua sitting at the table with a focused expression and sighed softly.

"Ruhua, you let me take over the housekeeping power. You will be busy in the future. Who will take good care of your young lady?"

Ruhua hurriedly raised her head from the account book and smiled flatteringly.

"Miss, let Siyu, Tingting and Yuli serve you carefully for two days. I will be free after I sort out these account books."

Luo Li was helped by Yingchun to sit up while complaining sadly, "Alas!... Siyu is obsessed with medicine and holds a medical book all day long. Tingting is obsessed with cooking and wants to sneak into the kitchen. Yuli is obsessed with martial arts and can't be seen at all.

If you sneak into the account books again, your young lady will suffer!"

Yingchun said hurriedly, "Princess, Yingchun and Banxia can serve you carefully."

Ruhua responded to the young lady's sad eyes with a humble smile. : "Thank you, sister Yingchun. I will be done with my work in two days. Miss, you just have to bear with it for two days!"

The bad habits of the personal maids were all caused by her. Luo Li took the wet towel handed over by Banxia helplessly and wiped her face.

She stood up and walked to Ruhua's side, leaning over to look at the account book in her hand.

: "These accounts make people dizzy. Ruhua, don't tire yourself out with all the account books on this table! Take your time to look at them, don't be in a hurry."

Ruhua raised her head and smiled at the lady, "Don't worry, miss! Doing what you like is not hard or tiring."

Yingchun saw Ruhua writing the symbols in the grids on the paper with a thin charcoal pencil, and asked in surprise.

"Sister Ruhua, what is your accounting method?"

Ruhua buried her head in the account book and replied with a smile, "This method was taught by the young lady. It is fast and accurate in accounting."

Yingchun and Banxia were stunned! Didn't the princess say that she didn't know how to count because she had little education?

Yingchun brought a cup of hot tea to the princess and asked caringly, "Princess, shall I go and gather the servants and maids, bring baskets and go to Guanqiong Garden to pick Qionghua?"

Luo Li took a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

"No hurry! There are too many flowers to digest in a short time. The flowering period of this Qionghua is long, and the tree will not escape where it grows. Let's pick it in a few days."

Yingchun didn't dare to ask how the flowers in the three carriages were digested?

Even if the princess really used the flowers to pave the toilet, as long as the princess gave an order, she would still lead people to pick all the flowers on the tree without hesitation.

"It's too stuffy in the room, let's go out for a walk!" Luo Li put down the teacup and stood up to walk out.

Yingchun and Banxia hurriedly responded and followed.

When they walked out of the house, Siyu and Yuli quickly ran out of the west room to catch up. When they arrived in the yard, Tingting also came out of the kitchen with Wanqiu and Yingxue, holding a small food box in her hand.

Luo Li looked at the three maids with satisfaction and smiled, "Not bad! I didn't forget your young lady."

Yuli pulled the young lady's sleeve coquettishly and leaned her head on her shoulder.

: "Miss, how could we forget you! Yuli practices martial arts diligently with the master every day, isn't it just for the sake of having the skills to protect the young lady."

Luo Li touched Yuli's head lovingly, "Okay! I'll take you with me tomorrow when your young lady goes out!"

: "Wow! The young lady will take Yuli out to play tomorrow? Damn it! Oh!" Yuli was so surprised that she couldn't help but jump for joy.

Luo Li stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead with her fingers, "Is this how you do it?"

Yingchun and Banxia looked at them enviously. The way the princess and her personal maids get along so intimately is really enviable!

Thinking that the four of them will also become the princess's personal and considerate maids, they are excited again.

Led by Yingchun and others, Luo Li toured the palace's architecture and scenery like a tourist.

Yingchun said that the Qin Palace has a strict rule that servants in the front yard are not allowed to walk into the main yard and the back yard. Servants in the back yard are not allowed to go out at will. However, the maids and servants in the main yard can walk around the palace at will.

Luo Li thought that the maids and servants in the main yard are probably all reliable people with clean backgrounds and trusted by the Qin King, right?

The Qin Palace, which covers an area of ​​more than 30 acres, is definitely the largest mansion besides the imperial palace in the capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.

Yingchun said that there are thousands of acres of mountain land and fertile fields outside the city that have been awarded by the emperor over the years. Together with the batch purchased by the palace, there are enough fertile fields of tens of thousands of acres. There is a particularly large hot spring villa with beautiful scenery.

Emperor Taizong is really good at superficiality. In addition to not giving real power, he gave gold, silver, treasures, mansions and fertile fields as generous rewards! He

was also extremely kind and gave Taizu's children the title and treatment of princes and princesses. In Luo Li's opinion, Emperor Taizong really showed a bit of a guilty conscience. There

are many buildings in the Qin Palace. In addition to several large courtyards in the main courtyard, there are also several pavilions and courtyards in the east and west side courtyards and the backyard, all of which are exquisitely built. In

a small courtyard, young willows form shades, and a field of roses blooms under the corner of the wall.

Yingchun introduced, "This is the courtyard where the housekeeper Zhao and his family of three live."

A large courtyard with a plaque reading "Spring Breeze Residence" is full of flowers and trees, and is shaded by rockery, quiet and elegant.

Clusters of bamboos are green and tall, and a hibiscus tree blooms brilliantly against the green leaves.

Yingchun introduced. "This is the courtyard where the prince used to live."

Luo Li kicked the door frame in anger!

"With such a nice courtyard to live in, why does he stay in my Ningxinyuan every day?!"

Yingchun and the others covered their lips and laughed secretly, "The prince is married, so of course he has to live with the princess. "

They came to another courtyard with a plaque reading "Plum Garden".

Luo Li was interested, "Let's go in and take a look."

The courtyard was spacious, with a plum forest of dense and sparse trees. Each old plum tree was probably over a hundred years old.

The branches of the plum trees were as hard as iron, twisted and tangled, like dragons, as if they were about to soar into the sky.

Yellow plums hung on the branches, and the tender yellow plums and the iron dragon-like branches complemented each other, with new life and lushness intertwined, which was shocking!

Luo Li said happily, "There are at least a hundred plum trees here. Let's come here to pick plum blossoms in winter!"

Yingchun and the others were really amused by the princess.

When others saw the plum forest in the plum garden, they were all amazed by the impact of the beautiful scenery.

Only the princess, seeing this plum forest, thought of the plum blossoms blooming in winter, and thought about picking them all in advance.

Butler Zhao hurried over and bowed in front of the princess, saying, "Princess, I have something to ask you."

Luo Li smiled gently, "Uncle Zhao, I told you not to call yourself an old servant in front of me, why can't you remember?"

Butler Zhao showed gratitude, "Princess, I don't dare to call you Uncle Zhao."

Luo Li said affectionately, "You are the same age as my father, and it is right for me to call you uncle."

I thought to myself: "You have a lot of power in this palace. If I can coax you around, it will be much easier for me to do things. 】

Butler Zhao was moved and clasped his fists and saluted again, "Princess, I am here to ask you for instructions. The ice in the palace may not be enough. The weather is very hot, so we need to buy some more in advance."

Luo Li understood it immediately. She had wasted a lot of ice in the palace these days, and Butler Zhao was thinking that it was not enough for her to waste, so she wanted to buy some more.

Luo Li waved her little hand generously! "No need to buy! I use a lot of ice in the palace, I can just ask someone to send a few trucks over."

Butler Zhao was stunned!

He said hurriedly, "You can use as much ice as your princess wants. You don't need to use money from your private treasury to replenish it."

Luo Li smiled, "I have always kept my public and private affairs separate and I don't like to take advantage of small things. You don't have to worry about the ice. Someone will deliver it tomorrow."

He thought complacently in his heart: [Although ice is not cheap, there is plenty of it in the Luo Mansion. I can make as much as I want. Why should I take advantage of your mansion on this? ]

Butler Zhao saw that the princess had drawn such a clear financial boundary with the palace, and smiled bitterly helplessly.

Although the princess is a little silly, she is stupid and straightforward! Unlike the two people in Qiongfang Pavilion, they monopolize the wealth of the palace and spend lavishly.

"Princess, there is one more thing. Madam Lin just called me and said that the stock of blood bird's nest, century-old ginseng, pearls and snow lotus in the warehouse is running low, and we need to buy another batch as soon as possible."

After thinking for a while, she added, "Madam Lin and my cousin like to eat blood bird's nests, drink ginseng tea, and use pearl powder and snow lotus to make beauty products every day."

Luo Li cursed inwardly! [This lady has made a lot of money and she is not willing to enjoy extravagance! This mother and daughter who are living under someone else's roof are squandering other people's money. They are so shameless!

No wonder they say that if you don't earn the money with your own hard work, you will squander it without any pain! 】

On second thought, [What they are squandering is the property of the Prince Qin's Mansion, what does it have to do with me? As long as the accounts are reported to Ruhua clearly, they can squander it! 】

Luo Li waved her hand magnanimously, "No need to ask for permission for such matters in the future, just do it as you see fit.

You have plenty of money in the Prince Qin's Mansion, enough for them and their daughter to squander it. Can't the huge Prince Qin's Mansion support two beautiful women?"

Butler Zhao's mouth twitched with heartache!

He thought that even if the prince took back the power to manage the salary of the Prince Qin's Mansion and handed it over to the princess, the princess was stupid enough to ignore the extravagant squandering of Madam Lin and her cousin!
