The playboy daughter is about to turn the sky

Chapter 165 Cutting Expenses

The moon was covered by dark clouds drifting by, and the night was getting darker.

Ye Li impatiently stood with these two people in the courtyard, the summer heat is still there, but the night is also a bit chilly.

I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if I stay too long.

Solve it sooner.

Ye Li thought so, looked at King Jing and said, "I really don't know what unreasonable things I have done."

"Since I entered the palace, I have never stepped into the Star Picking Pavilion. Since the prince punished the second lady to ground her feet last time, I have not seen the second lady for more than ten days in a row."

King Jing couldn't care less about listening to her arguments, he just lowered his head and coaxed Wen Yan.

Ye Li knew that King Jing was listening, and continued to talk regardless of whether he answered her or not.

"Today, my concubine had contact with the second lady once during the day, but I just said a few words at the gate of Yunge, and after I finished talking, I went back to Yunshuijian. I really don't know where I offended the second lady. .”

Ye Li's voice was a little sad: "The second lady is allowed to arrange the concubine body like this."

Hearing this, Wen Yan couldn't help breaking free from King Jing's arms, looking at Ye Li with reddened eyes, and said, "My sister didn't make up my sister."

Ye Li sighed: "My princess knows that the second lady loves the prince deeply in her heart, and this princess has never thought of competing with the second lady for the prince's favor. The second lady does not need to worry that the existence of this princess will affect your status." any effect."

She looked up at Wen Yan, and said resolutely: "Second Madam, please rest assured, as long as I am here, Second Madam will always be the Second Madam of King Jing's Mansion. This will never change."

On the surface, these words seem to be comforting Wen Yan that she doesn't need to worry about her status being shaken. Everyone just thinks that the new princess is kind-hearted and gave the second lady a guarantee.

Only Wen Yan felt disgusted as if swallowing a fly.

How dare this bitch say that!

The second wife forever?
Will not!
One day, she will definitely replace Ye Li as the princess!
"Sister Wangfei cares about my sister so much, my sister is really touched."

Wen Yan had no choice but to follow Ye Li's words.

Hearing this, Ye Li had a bright smile on her face: "Second Madam understands the number of my concubine's wish. From now on, the Second Madam will only serve the prince well, and there will be my concubine beside me!"

King Jing was speechless for a while looking at the affectionate appearance of the sisters.

Why does he feel as if he has become redundant?
"By the way." Ye Li seemed to remember something, and said to King Jing, "My lord, you have been busy with official duties these few days, and there is something about my concubine that I haven't told the lord yet."

King Jing was a little curious about what she was going to do again, and asked, "What is it?"

"In the past few days, my concubine has started to take care of the internal affairs of the palace, but when I looked through the books, I found something inappropriate."

King Jing looked at Wen Yan in surprise: "Yan'er, haven't you always been in charge of this palace?"

Wen Yan opened her mouth, and was about to say something, but Ye Li's voice cut in at the right time.

"My lord!"

Seeing King Jing looking at herself, Ye Li smiled the softest: "Usually, when I'm not here, the things in this mansion are hard for the second lady to worry about. Now that my concubine has entered the palace, I can't bother you about the housekeeping anymore." Madame."

"This..." King Jing looked at Wen Yan with some hesitation.

"And during the day, the second lady also said that the housekeeper's affairs are trivial and complicated, and the second lady often has a headache because of it. The prince loves the second lady, so don't let the second lady bother you."

Ye Li is considerate in every way, and she looks like a virtuous and generous headed mistress.

King Jing didn't care who the housekeeper was. Since Yan'er felt that housekeeping was hard work, Ye Li would leave these mundane matters to Ye Li, as long as it didn't affect him.

"Since you have a heart, you will have to worry more about this palace in the future." King Jing said indifferently, making a quick decision.

"Li Weicai has been here since the founding of the mansion. If you don't understand anything, just ask Li Weicai."

King Jing added.

Ye Li gave a blessing to King Jing: "The concubine knows, the prince can rest assured."

In this way, the power of stewardship can be regarded as a clear path.

From now on, no one can doubt it.

Ye Li calmed down a little, and smiled at King Jing and said, "What I just said is inappropriate, I have mentioned it to the second lady during the day."

King Jing groaned, waiting for her to continue.

"According to what Li Guanshi said, in the back house of the prince's mansion, the concubine's money from the public house should be 100 taels of silver per month, while the second wife is 30 taels of silver per month."

She paused, King Jing said impatiently: "This king knows, what's the problem?"

"According to the account book, the actual monthly expenses of the second wife are 120 taels, and this month's expenses have reached more than 300 taels."

Wen Yanget raised her head and looked at Ye Li. If the hatred in her eyes could kill someone, Ye Li would have died a thousand times already.

Ye Li looked at King Jing, her eyes not evasive: "My lord, the cost is too huge. I think that there are no rules, so the cost of the second lady's room will still be according to the public's price." 30 taels to count."

Wen Yan hugged King Jing's hand, bursting into tears: "My concubine misunderstood, Yan'er is not a extravagant person, it's just that Yan'er loves the prince deeply, and she just hopes to dress herself up beautifully to please herself Dear man, let the one you love look at you more."

Ye Li smiled but said nothing, just watched King Jing express his opinion.

King Jing frowned.

If this matter had been put in the past, King Jing would have been very impatient, but it was just buying some clothes for his beloved woman and some beautiful accessories, so what if he used more money?
It's not that King Jing's mansion can't afford it.

Why spoil Yan'er's interest for some money.

But recently, his mother took the lead in the palace, and frugality prevailed. Even her mother set an example by reducing the expenditure of Weiyang Palace.

As the Son of Man, he naturally expressed his support.

"A few days ago, when I entered the palace, I had a chat with my mother. The mother lamented how difficult the people's livelihood was, so she advocated frugal living. I thought, my mother is so frugal. As a younger generation, I naturally have to learn more It is."

When Ye Li saw that King Jing was distracted, she calmly added another fire, and she asked King Jing, "My lord, what do you think?"

"This king knows Yan'er's mind, Yan'er is born with such a beautiful beauty, even if she doesn't wear makeup, she is the most beautiful woman in my eyes, with such a face like a fairy, those gorgeous clothes are also eclipsed in front of Yan'er gone."

King Jing had already made a decision in his heart, and a few words of comfort to Wen Yan were indispensable.

"The princess is so filial, so let's do what the princess wants."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the sky: "It's late at night, my king is back."

Saying that, without looking at Ye Li again, she turned and left with a reluctant and gentle face.
