The days after marriage are equivalent to a honeymoon. The couple sings poems and paints eyebrows to enhance their relationship.
During this period, Goddess Yang also told him about being a maid, which really surprised Li Zhiyun.
Li Zhiyun couldn't draw eyebrows, so he put Goddess Yang in a bad mood several times. However, Li Zhiyun would tease her with other gadgets.
For example, puzzle pieces.
First prepare a wooden board, then dig out a layer along the center, then draw a bird pattern on another wooden board, then divide it into seven pieces with a knife and place them inside the previous wooden board.
In this way, the Tang Dynasty version of the small mobile phone puzzle game is completed.
In addition, Li Zhiyun also made a Rubik's Cube with his own hands, with six sides painted in different colors.
Of course, backgammon, Monopoly, and beast chess are indispensable.
Compared with hut, these gadgets that Li Zhiyun came up with are undoubtedly novel and fun. After Goddess Yang learned backgammon, Li Zhiyun once played backgammon until he vomited blood.
He regretted it.
Another day, the couple was flying a kite in the garden.
The snow has stopped today, there is a silver glow on the ground, and there is a slight breeze in the air, which is perfect for flying kites.
"Husband, look." Goddess Yang looked at the kite floating in the sky, her eyes were like stars and her smile was like a delicate flower.
"I saw it, Madam is really amazing."
Li Zhiyun smiled from the bottom of his heart. As long as we don't play backgammon, everything will be fine.
At this moment, Li Zhen walked not far away and waited.
Li Zhiyun waved him over and asked him what he wanted.
Li Zhen said that King Qi thought the weather was nice and invited him to go hunting.
Li Zhiyun thought to himself that Li Yuanji was a bad guy. He just got married a few days ago and he didn't go hunting with his wife. Can hunting be a wife's pleasure?
Do you think I'm you, a hunting maniac?
"They said I caught a cold and felt unwell, so I won't go."
"As commanded."
After Li Zhen left, Goddess Yang whispered: "Husband, is it inappropriate to reject King Qi?"
"It would be wrong not to accompany my wife." Li Zhiyun half-armed her, holding her hand, and the couple flew a kite together.
Goddess Yang felt sweet and continued to fly the kite happily.
Although the relationship between the husband and wife has not yet reached the stage of being inseparable, Goddess Yang can feel her husband's thoughts, and she is also working hard to get closer to her husband.
After flying the kite, the couple played backgammon and ate pastries in the greenhouse.
"On the day we got married, the prince's brother and second brother came to the palace one after another. The two sisters-in-law were unable to come because they were pregnant. I will take you to visit the two sisters-in-law someday. If I am away on an expedition and you are bored at home, the two of you will be bored.
My sister-in-law comes to visit me, so you have to receive her well."
"I know that your husband has great ambitions for the family and the country, so he must properly handle the affairs of the palace." Goddess Yang said softly: "I have met Princess Qin once, and she is an easy person to get along with. It's just that I haven't met the Crown Princess yet.
Don’t know how to treat each other?”
Li Zhiyun thought for a moment and said: "The elder sister-in-law is kind-hearted and is not weak to the second sister-in-law. You only need to do your duty."
Goddess Yang nodded and said quietly: "After all, she is a noble girl from a high family, so having many concubines is not as good as her."
My wife, what is there to compare with? They are not my wives.
"Why are you saying such weird things?" Li Zhiyun said, "Whether it's my eldest sister-in-law or my second sister-in-law, she's my wife."
Goddess Yang looked at him angrily, took out the jade cup and put the sunspots down, and the five sunspots immediately connected into one piece.
"Husband, you lost again."
Li Zhiyun pinched his nose and pulled five Kaiyuan Tongbao from his side.
A little gambling is fun, a game of backgammon has five Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Well, Li Zhiyun almost lost a fortune.
At first, he deliberately lost. After all, she was his wife, so she had to give in. Later, after Goddess Yang took over, he lost without giving in.
awful.
Immediately afterwards, another game of backgammon started.
Goddess Yang said: "If the Crown Princess and Princess Qin come to visit at the same time, how about I teach them how to play backgammon?"
Are you putting what you have learned here to use? As expected of my wife, she is smart.
"OK."
After a pause, Li Zhiyun continued: "Everything in the house was previously taken care of by Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao. They used to serve my mother and were honest people. If you have anything to do, you can leave it to them.
They all know the details of each house manager, you can consult them."
After the government office was established in the Chu Palace, Concubine Wan Guifei appointed Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, the elderly people who served beside her. They were a couple. Li Zhiyun had known her since they were children. They were both honest and responsible people and could definitely be trusted.
The external affairs of the palace, such as the racecourse, welcoming guests to and from the palace, and the cleaning of each courtyard, are all taken care of by the external housekeeper, Uncle Zhao. The internal affairs, such as the purchase of the kitchen and the expenses of the female dependents in each room, are all taken care of by the housekeeper, Aunt Zhao.
Now that Princess Chu has returned to her throne, it is natural that she must be in charge of it.
"I understand." Goddess Yang smiled lightly.
After losing another game of backgammon, Li Zhiyun got the news of Du Ruhui's arrival and left decisively.
After Li Zhiyun left, Goddess Yang summoned Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao.
"Slave, please see the princess."
Both Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao are honest people and are meticulous in their courtesy.
"You two are free of charge." Goddess Yang raised her hand and asked someone to get soft cushions for them to sit on.
After some pleasantries, Goddess Yang said: "Your Majesty has entrusted me to take care of everything in the palace. The mother and concubine in the palace also hope that I can make the back courtyard of the palace clean. I hope that my uncle and aunt will not hesitate to give me advice."
"I don't dare, please give me the princess's orders." Uncle Zhao said immediately.
Goddess Yang asked: "How much is the income of the house? How much is the monthly balance..."
Facing Goddess Yang's audit, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao were not surprised. This was the power of the mistress.
After some exchanges and checking the account books, Goddess Yang frowned slightly.
"Why is there something wrong with the fields on the other side of the Wei River? It's true that Ms. Yin is pregnant, but why does she use her monthly money to buy medicinal materials? I remember that someone in the palace buys medicinal materials every month, right?"
Uncle Zhao said: "What the princess doesn't know is that there are some fields around the Wei River that the king ordered Yuwen Gongcao to pluck out and use them for other purposes."
Goddess Yang knew that Yuwen Gongcao was Yuwen Rutong. She nodded to show that she understood.
"Then what's going on with Mrs. Yin? Since she became pregnant, the king has ordered people to buy tonics for her every day. Why does she have to use her monthly money to buy them, but there are not enough medicinal materials?"
If Ms. Yin really used her monthly money to purchase it, it would be her private matter, and Goddess Yang would naturally not keep an eye on it.
The reason why she asked was because Mr. Yin's monthly payment was overspending.
Aunt Zhao hesitated to speak, looking embarrassed.
Seeing this, Goddess Yang was well aware of her fears, so she explained: "If Aunt Zhao has something to say, just say it. I'm here, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhao whispered: "Back to the princess, Madam Yin's medicinal materials are enough, but...it's just that she has to supplement her father's family."
After saying this, Goddess Yang basically felt at ease.
She thought to herself that what A Niang said was indeed true. Most women from small families had this common problem.
To be honest, this monthly overspend is nothing compared to the size of the Chu Palace. But if we let it go, the Yin family will definitely get worse in the future. If we can't deal with this matter, there will probably be countless slaves in the palace who rape and cheat in the future.
.
And she, the princess, is only in name only.
This unhealthy trend must be stopped!
"Yu'er."
"My slave is here."
"Go, ask Madam Yin to come over and play a game of backgammon with me."
"yes."
Goddess Yang filed the account books and asked Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao to go down and do some work.
As soon as Uncle Zhao came out of Princess Chu's courtyard, he heard his mother-in-law saying with a bitter face: "Now I have offended Lady Yin."
"Don't be afraid, the princess is the royal wife, and with the support of the royal concubines in the palace, Lady Yin can't make any waves." Uncle Zhao comforted her.
"But Lady Yin is pregnant. If she gives birth to a boy, the princess will..."
"Stop talking!" Uncle Zhao interrupted her, looked around, and scolded in a low voice, "You are crazy, talk like this, go away."
After saying that, he took his mother-in-law and left.
In fact, Goddess Yang was also troubled by Miss Yin's pregnancy. Although she and her husband were newly married, she thought of the beautiful maid next to her husband and the pregnant Miss Yin, and she basically understood what her husband was like.
Because of this, she has established her authority.
