When King Xuan came to pick up Xue Qingyin, she had already been playing for half an hour.

"I have met His Royal Highness King Xuan." The palace servants in Qingsi Palace knelt down and saluted.

King Xuan passed them and walked directly to Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin raised her face and asked, "Go back?"

"Um."

"I haven't finished watching this shadow puppet show yet." Xue Qingyin's tone was filled with pity, but she still got up.

King Xuan glanced at the court entertainers who were kneeling on the ground in front of him.

These people were introduced to the palace when the Queen of the Central Palace was still alive because of the Queen's kindness. Later, the Queen was gone, and gradually no nobles called them to perform shadow puppet shows.

King Xuan's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Do you like shadow puppetry?"

Xue Qingyin said: "The first time I saw it, it was very fresh."

King Xuan nodded slightly and ordered the people around him to take the reward for Xue Qingyin. Then the two of them walked in front and stepped out together.

Seeing Xue Qingyin and King Xuan walking side by side, the palace officials opened their mouths in shock. Only when their figures disappeared did they wake up and push their chins back to their normal positions.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Xue Qingyin counted today's rewards.

King Xuan was riding on horseback, walking side by side with the carriage, and could hear the rustling sound coming from inside.

I don’t know how long Xue Qingyin has been reading.

He suddenly heard her say: "Your Highness is really good at predicting things." Then she lifted the curtain, revealing her charming face like a flower: "Well, I have gained a lot today."

She said, opening the box in her arms to show him.

King Xuan seemed to be very uninterested, he only glanced at it and stopped looking at it.

Xue Qingyin closed the box with her backhand and stretched out her hand to hook the hem of King Xuan's clothes.

King Xuan paused and immediately returned his gaze to her.

The guards following behind watched as the concubine raised her finger at His Highness King Xuan.

Such a gesture is truly treasonous.

But King Xuan still bowed down and leaned close to the person in the sedan chair.

"What's the matter?" King Xuan asked, opening his lips.

Xue Qingyin suddenly stretched out her head and kissed him on the face.

She said: "Nothing."

King Xuan was stunned.

After a moment of pause, he straightened up. When he looked at Xue Qingyin again, his eyes became darker.

Xue Qingyin put down the sedan curtain, but quietly looked out from a corner.

She could see that King Xuan's hand holding the reins was obviously much harder. The veins on the back of his hand were slightly bulging due to the tension.

It really works!

A kiss will immediately change your carelessness and become more caring!

Xue Qingyin found it very interesting!

They continued to move forward in silence, as if nothing had happened.

But the eyes of the guards at the back almost popped out.

In broad daylight, this, so close...

Your Highness is conniving by not saying a word!

Half an hour later, Xue Qingyin was sitting alone in the hall. Seeing the housekeeper enter, she asked, "Why did you invite me here?"

The housekeeper bowed respectfully: "I haven't seen my concubine before, so I have the courage to bring her here today."

Xue Qingyin thought for a moment. If she wanted to live comfortably in the palace, she shouldn't refuse.

"Excuse me...what's the butler's last name?"

"The villain's surname is Lu."

"Then I'll bother Butler Lu." Xue Qingyin said politely.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Butler Lu didn't dare to raise his head.

After saluting Xue Qingyin again, he turned around and ordered the rest of the palace people to come in.

"These are served in the Cunxin Hall."

"These are from the dining room."

…

Butler Lu introduced them one by one, presumably to make it easier for Xue Qingyin to understand the structure of the house and the functions of different people.

Xue Qingyin's head was pounding after hearing this.

It's really not a human being's job to take care of such a big palace.

Fortunately, given her status, she can behave reasonably.

Butler Lu also noticed Xue Qingyin's drowsiness. He said warmly: "Please bear with me a little longer, there are only the last few left."

After saying that, he clapped his hands.

Immediately, those who walked through the door were a few older palace ladies.

Guan Lu said: "This is from the East Palace."

Xue Qingyin regained consciousness and asked, "Since you are from the East Palace, why did you stay in Prince Xuan's Mansion?"

One of them bowed and said: "The concubine doesn't recognize the old slave. The old slave is the wet nurse of His Highness the Crown Prince. When His Highness King Xuan was still young, the old slave also took care of him for a few days."

Naturally, these details were not included in the original work.

Xue Qingyin suddenly realized that King Xuan had been raised by the queen in the past?

The man bowed again and said, "I got to meet the concubine today. She is really a delicate and beautiful woman. It's just that the concubine is thin and should take more nourishment."

Xue Qingyin didn't like others to point fingers, nor did she like others to rely on their elders and show off their talents. She immediately waved her hands and said, "Have you never heard of the principle that a weak point cannot be replenished?"

The man was silent and said: "Then you should take good care of yourself so that you can give birth to Lin'er for Your Highness as soon as possible."

Butler Lu frowned at the side: "Mother Zhen."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, the wet nurses in ancient times were indeed very powerful.

She yawned lazily and said, "Steward Lu, is there anything else? If not, I'll rest."

Ignore that Aunt Zhen at all.

Butler Lu hurriedly said: "And..."

He clapped his hands again, and then saw two guards carrying a huge box in.

Xue Qingyin sat up straight.

What? Another gift?

Butler Lu ordered someone to open the box, but what appeared in front of Xue Qingyin were books... books?

"These are the account books of all the properties in the palace. Except for those on the fief, they are all here." Guan Lu said.

The accounts of the fiefdom are the responsibility of the prince's subordinate officials.

That thing involves fief taxation and so on, so it will not be sent to Xue Qingyin under any circumstances.

But even so, this box of account books is surprising enough.

Xue Qingyin pointed to herself: "For me?"

Butler Lu nodded, and at the same time took out something and handed it to Xue Qingyin respectfully, saying: "This is the key to the various warehouses in the palace."

That bunch of keys makes a jingling sound when shaken lightly.

Xue Qingyin fell silent.

Isn't this right?

Didn't we agree from the beginning to come over and be a concubine?

Why does this thing have to be under my control?

"This is the seal." Butler Lu was still taking out things.

"Wait a minute." Xue Qingyin immediately stopped him.

"This will exhaust me to death." Xue Qingyin said very frankly.

Butler Lu moved for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face.

Shouldn't she be extremely happy to hand over the royal palace to the concubine?
