"Thank you would be too polite. You've all worked so hard for the palace's normal operations, so it's only right that I compensate you accordingly. As for these thirteen young ladies, I've temporarily transferred you here, so your workload may be heavier. I won't let you work for me in vain, so in addition to your original daily wages, I'll also give each of you a daily subsidy of one tael of silver. After ten days of work, you'll get ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels of silver, isn't that equivalent to our annual wages? Princess, you are so kind. We are always willing to serve you."
Upon hearing such good news, the thirteen maids who took the initiative to step forward almost jumped for joy. Fortunately, their choice was correct, while the maids who did not choose to come and help Shu Jiaying could only regret it in the end. But this was their own choice after all. The princess had already given everyone a chance. Who could they blame?
After the personnel are assigned, the only thing left is the production venue.
Shu Jiaying chose a large open room in the palace as a temporary factory and asked thirteen maids to clean it. Then she ordered people to bring in the raw materials. Once the key people were in place, the work officially began.

After staying in the general's mansion for a while, Zhuang Zhenmeng couldn't help it anymore, so she ran to Zhuang Tianming's study.
Seeing Zhuang Tianming reading an ancient book, Zhuang Zhenmeng got angry and snatched the book from Zhuang Tianming's hand.
"What do you want to do?"
Zhuang Tianming's face immediately darkened.
Zhuang Zhenmeng was startled by Zhuang Tianming's roar, and her book fell to the ground. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she said aggrievedly, "Dad, didn't you say I was going to enter the palace soon? But the days are passing by, why is there still no news about my entry?"
"you……"
He wanted to scold Zhuang Zhenmeng, but he was worried that it would leave a shadow on her and that she would refuse to be manipulated. Zhuang Tianming tried hard to control his emotions and suppress his anger. He lowered his voice and said, "Zhenmeng, didn't Dad tell you that the high priest calculated that the emperor is in conflict with the Tai Sui and is not suitable for marriage. You just need to be patient for a while. When the emperor's fortune changes, you can enter the palace immediately."
"Still have to wait? Actually, I'm not afraid of waiting. What I'm afraid of is that I have to wait day after day. It really seems endless. I feel uneasy. And staying in the general's mansion every day makes me feel upset."
"Then find a maid to accompany you out for a stroll!"
Knowing that Zhuang Zhenmeng was determined to enter the palace, Zhuang Tianming was not afraid that she would run away, so as to avoid her bothering him, so it was not a bad idea to let her go out for a walk.
Zhuang Zhen never dreamed that Zhuang Tianming would take the initiative to let her go out. She asked in disbelief, "Dad, can I really go out?"
"Why not, Zhen Meng? Before you go into the palace, why don't you go out for a walk? I think you've never been to Ningcheng before, so it would be good to go out and see the world."
"Thank you, Dad!"
With Zhuang Tianming's permission, Zhuang Zhenmeng ran out of the study happily.
Looking at Zhuang Zhenmeng's back, the smile on Zhuang Tianming's face gradually turned into disgust. Zhuang Zhenmeng asked him when she could enter the palace. In fact, he wanted Zhuang Zhenmeng to enter the palace as soon as possible more than anyone else, because he really didn't want to face this woman who made him upset anymore.
