The Regent's Tender Darling

——Minghuaxuan.

Qingtao brought Xuemei and Dongxue to Minghuaxuan, but Ye Ming had to stop him and asked, "Miss Qingtao, what are you doing?"

Not to mention Qingtao, Xuemei and Dongxue have already started to move tables and put pens, inks, paper and inkstones in the yard.

Qingtao said with a straight face: "This is the princess's order. Everyone in Minghuaxuan lined up to come to me for questioning."

"Inquiry?" Ye Ming frowned and said, "What can we ask about?" Besides, they are the guards around the prince, so it's not Qingtao's turn to ask them, right?

Xuemei and Dongxue have already started working on it. Dongxue has read books and writes beautifully, so Dongxue is responsible for drafting the book, Qingtao is responsible for questioning, and Xuemei is responsible for supervising and doing odd jobs.

Facing Ye Ming's questions and dissatisfaction, Qingtao said indifferently: "The princess said that if you have any questions, you can come to the prince to discuss it."

Ye Ming: "..."

Who dares to theorize about this? But after thinking about it, I still felt that I should report it to the prince before making a decision.

This was not just an inquiry of Minghuaxuan, but the steward of Minghuaxuan did not dare to come to investigate, so he asked Qingtao to lead the inquiry.

The interrogation of the housekeeper was carried out by the Thirteen people. As long as they were registered in the palace, they could not be omitted.

Ye Ming was about to report to the prince, but saw that Qing Xing was already the first person to go over for questioning.

After some hesitation, he decided to go to the study room and ask.

When he arrived at the study, Ye Ming cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Princess' people are checking the population in our courtyard."

Yan Sihan was reviewing the memorial. After hearing this, he didn't even raise his head. He responded in a perfunctory and nonchalant manner: "Well, go ahead. Anyone who refuses to obey will be kicked out of the palace and never hired."

Ye Ming looked up and said with disbelief: "Ah?"

"……yes."

Seeing the prince's indifferent expression, Ye Ming pursed his lips: If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

Qingtao was asking questions. The first sentence was her name and age, and then she began to ask how she came to the palace. Whether she was born at home or bought from outside, she had to explain everything clearly.

Most of the maids who can work in Minghuaxuan are from the Zhennan Prince's family. For example, Qingxing's mother-in-law is the personal maid of the Zhennan Princess, and her feet are all clean.

The guards all came from the former Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Ling Mansion Villa, both of which now belong to the Internal Security Department.

Ye Ming and Ye Feng had been with the Regent since childhood. They were from the Ling Mansion Villa and were outside the Department of Internal Security. They were not subject to the control of the head of the Department of Internal Security and obeyed the Regent's orders.

After a round of investigation, there was no one with any doubts in Minghuaxuan, except for a sweeping maid, Chunjuan, who was bought from outside. Her mother was originally from the Zhennan Palace, but she had been released from the Palace to marry.

Although Qingtao was familiar with Chunjuan, she still questioned her carefully.

"My father was originally a janitor in the Gu Mansion, but now he works in a restaurant, and my mother spins some fabrics at home and sells them for money." Chunjuan said very seriously.

Dongxue quickly remembered what Chunjuan said.

Then Qingtao asked: "How did you enter the house?"

When asked this question, Chunjuan's expression changed, and she seemed a little sad: "My mother-in-law gave birth to three younger brothers. The family couldn't afford it, so she sold me to work in the palace. I was favored by the old princess when I was seven years old. The princess is here to wait on you. After the prince established his palace, the old princess sent me and Sister Qingxing over. "

What he said was clear, without any slurring or hesitation.

After a while, Dongxue said: "It's all written."

The people in Minghuaxuan have finished asking questions, and it's time for them to go back and give errands to the princess.
