Chapter 153
Although she is the second wife, but relying on King Jing's favor, she always respects herself as a princess. In order to please Wen Yan, King Jing asked Wen Yan and the housekeeper to take care of everything in the mansion.

Wen Yan is just the second wife of the palace, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the palace, but with the support of King Jing in everything, the housekeeper wisely refrained from touching the eyebrows of the second lady even though she disapproved.

This second lady is cruel and merciless, if she offends her, who will have a better life if he blows the pillow in the prince's ear?

One thing more is worse than one thing less.

Even if it doesn't make sense, the housekeeper just turns a blind eye.

Ye Li is clear about these things.

In her previous life, she was weak-tempered, and she was a concubine but she couldn't even fight for the right to be a housekeeper. She made a wrong step and didn't even have a competent person around her. With the power of fighting back, in this life, she will change everything.

"Princess, Guan Li is here."

Nanny Su took the butler into the yard, and asked the steward to wait outside the house temporarily, and went in to report back to Ye Li.

Ye Li was drinking tea, when she heard that she put down her teacup and said to Madam Su, "Mommy, invite Guanshi Li into the house."

Madam Su replied yes, turned around and went out to lead Guanshi Li into the room.

Guanshi Li followed Nanny Su into the room, not daring to look up at the hostess who was sitting at the top, bowed his head and walked to the middle of the room, bowing down to salute Ye Li respectfully, his voice was not the same as Ye Li's last time When I was in the palace, I heard that the eunuch was so thin and uncomfortable, but it was different from ordinary men: "Slave Li Wei has only met the princess, and the concubine Jin'an."

Ye Li looked at Guanshi Li calmly. Guanshi Li seemed to be about the same age as Nanny Su, about 35 to [-] years old, with a medium build and slightly thin body. He was wearing a thick blue robe and had a calm complexion. The middle-aged man seems to have nothing worthy of attention.

But Ye Li didn't dare to underestimate him at all, she knew that Guanshi Li's ability was far greater than she imagined, if she could get Guanshi Li's help in the mansion, it would be much more convenient for her to act in the future.

"Guard Li, don't be too polite."

Ye Li sat in front of the desk and softly asked Steward Li to get up, she winked at Yan'er, Yan'er understood, and hurriedly helped the steward up.

Then Ye Li greeted the butler with a smile: "Guan Li, please sit down."

Steward Li was too busy to be polite and dare not speak up, he still stood there without moving. Ye Li was about to greet him, but Xiao Cui suddenly whispered to the steward beside him: "Princess Wang is very kind. Don't be polite to the princess."

Hearing this tone, it is quite familiar.

Ye Li couldn't help raising her eyebrows to look at Xiao Cui when she heard the words.

Since Xiaocui came to her side, although she has corrected a lot of her former submissiveness, most of the time she is still taciturn, as if wishing people would forget her.

Today is rather strange that he would take the initiative to talk to Guanshi Li.

Could it be that these two are old acquaintances?

Ye Li guessed like this, but her face was calm and she didn't show any emotion.

The steward was silent for a moment when he heard the words, then he raised his hand and bowed to Ye Li, and said respectfully: "Since the concubine is flattering you, then the slave should be respectful rather than obedient." Said, walked to the side of the wooden chair and sat down.

Ye Li smiled, and said to Xiao Cui, "Xiao Cui, serve a new cup of tea for Li Guanshi."

Xiaocui hurriedly took orders and left.

Li Guanshi got up slightly, and bowed politely to Ye Li: "My slave thank you, Princess, for the tea."

Li Guanshi is worthy of coming out of the palace, he acts with discretion, perhaps because he has been in charge of the palace for many years, he has a calm and unhurried aura, all of which make Ye Li very satisfied. In her previous life, she had no chance to get in touch with Li Guanshi. She thought that This Guanshi Li is the person who was with Wen Yan, and now it seems that she was wrong.

As long as she is not a gentle person, it will be easier for her to win over.

Xiao Cui served hot tea, Manager Li glanced at Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui opened her eyes wide and blinked at Manager Li, showing a smile.

Ye Li noticed the little tricks between the two, but didn't ask: "This is the Longjing before Yu brought by my princess from the south of the Yangtze River. The tea tastes mellow and intoxicating. Li Guanshi might as well try it."

Li Guanshi was disrespectful, took a sip from the teacup, praised "good tea", paused and apologized, "The slave is incompetent, the princess was surprised when she encountered water in the courtyard when she first entered the palace, and now she has to bow down in the palace." In this cloud and water, the princess has been wronged."

Speaking of this, Ye Li, the culprit, was a little embarrassed, and said in one sentence: "Guan Li doesn't need to blame himself, this incident was an accident, and no one can be blamed."

Ye Li lightly tapped the table with her right hand, and said in a deep voice: "The palace has been in operation for so many years, everything has been taken care of by Li Guanshi, and Li Guanshi has taken care of everything."

"The concubine is absurdly praised. I am ashamed to be a slave. These are the duties of a slave. I dare not take credit for it." Li Guanshi said modestly.

Ye Li shook her head and said with a smile: "Why should Manager Li be self-effacing? No one knows how difficult it is to be a housekeeper, let alone this huge palace with hundreds of people. It is not easy to manage. My princess married Although the palace doesn't have much time, but the palace is tidy from top to bottom, and the division of labor between servants and servants is orderly, which one of these things can be separated from Li Guanshi's dedication?"

King Jing was favored, and the mansion was built according to the rules of the prince. The mansion occupies a huge area, and there are countless pavilions. Among other things, it is just the daily food, clothes, and cleaning of the house. .

Not to mention the exchange of favors and gifts with the families of high-ranking officials. These are the real headaches. To maintain the operation of the palace, but also to be decent and not make mistakes, this is not something ordinary people can do.

"Thank you, my concubine, for your compassion." Li Guanshi raised his eyes to look at Ye Li, with a hint of emotion in his words, "Outsiders say that this servant is a majestic steward of the palace, and everyone outside is envious of this servant. The concubine is wise, but I see a side that no one else sees.”

"This princess is just comparing my heart with my heart."

Ye Li waved her hand and said indifferently.

Having already drank two cups of tea, and Ye Li had finished exchanging greetings, she planned to enter the main topic of this conversation.

Ye Li gently put down the teacup, skipped what she was going to say in her mind, and then said slowly: "Guard Li, there used to be no mistress in the palace, but it's not unreasonable not to have a woman in charge in this mansion, this is called Er Madame will take care of the palace with you.

Now that my concubine has entered the mansion, she will not bother the second lady to worry about it. From now on, you don't need to tell the second lady about the various matters in the palace to make her worry about it. If you have any questions, come directly. "
