Chapter 1441 Famine and Natural Disaster 599
Princess Zhou was very pleased and her smile became more sincere. "I love you so much that I handed the harem to you. I am old and sometimes I am too lazy to do anything. I am relieved that Chaosheng married you. You have been involved in some of the business and personal relationships in the palace. I trust you."

"Son, you don't believe in yourself." She said softly and coquettishly.

"You should take good care of Chaosheng and share his worries. If you don't understand something, come and ask me, or you can ask Chaosheng. In short, I will leave the palace and Chaosheng to you. You two have been childhood sweethearts, and you have a deep affection and friendship. I hope that you will always be like this, in harmony and love, and support each other."

"Our palace is now free of external worries, but has internal troubles; you two should work together and make progress together."

Princess Zhou smiled brightly and said it solemnly. She did not allow Mingyi to refuse and asked Nanny Xu to hand the things to her. Moreover, she personally sent Nanny Xu to go with her. This not only gave her the power of a housekeeper, but also showed her support, so that both the new and old people in the palace could see it clearly.

From now on, the palace has a Crown Prince's Consort, the future Princess Zhou, who will be the real next mistress.

As for Zhou Ting, he returned to the study to handle government affairs. He needed to take some time to review the government affairs that had been put off for many days. Seeing that Aunt Xu was present to handle the affairs, his new wife would not suffer any loss, so he did not follow her, but he also asked Buwei to follow her.

All the people who came this time were notified in advance by the princess, to meet the Crown Prince's wife on the second day of their wedding; the business dealings of the palace would be under the orders of the Crown Prince's wife in the future, so the steward who came and the small stewards he brought with him waited respectfully in the lobby of the front yard, even though no one asked them anything.

"The Crown Prince's Consort has arrived!"

Aunt Zhao shouted loudly.

The people waiting in the lobby turned around, knelt on the ground respectfully, folded their hands on the ground, and knocked their foreheads on the backs of their folded hands.

"The servants greet the Crown Princess, Crown Princess Jin An."

Among the stewards, some were born in families, while others were promoted from the common people, and there are slight differences in the ways they are addressed.

Nanny Zhao supported her master and walked past them to the upper seat, where she waited for her master to sit down.

They stood on both sides together with Nanny Xu, and if they didn't do anything, they would stand where Nanny Zhao would attack.

Mingyi looked at the twenty-six chief and minor stewards in the hall. They were originally bowing towards the door; after she came in, the direction of their bowing changed. The only thing that remained unchanged was that they were crawling on the ground from beginning to end.

"Everyone, please rise."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, Princess."

Madam Xu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Princess, there are twenty stewards and sixteen minor stewards here this time; they are in charge of the major businesses in the palace, such as restaurants, art galleries, clinics, drug stores, various shops, farms, fields, etc."

Mingyi saw an acquaintance among them, the owner of Wangxi Building.

After Nanny Xu introduced them one by one, I learned that this shopkeeper Lou was not just the shopkeeper of a restaurant; he was the general manager of the restaurant industry in the palace, which meant he was one of the sixteen major managers in the palace.

After Nanny Xu's introduction, all the stewards came forward to greet her and make themselves known.

As for the small stewards, they are brought to see their masters by the big stewards. If nothing unexpected happens, these small stewards will be the successors of the big stewards.

"Princess, the royal palace has many businesses, and the account books are submitted at the end of every month. There is only one day to submit the accounts, and on that day, the accounts will be checked." Nanny Xu said again.

Mingyi nodded slightly and said, "The purpose of checking the accounts every month is to make sure that the accounts are clear and to avoid mistakes in the future. I know about this. We will also submit the accounts on the same date in the future. The established date will remain unchanged."

"Yes!"

Madam Xu and everyone else bowed as needed, and bowed as needed.

After meeting these stewards and sending them away, Mingyi met all the servants in the palace. There were really a lot of them, more than 300 people, filling the entire lobby and even using the front yard.

Mingyi gave them a warning as usual and then let them go. Mingyi was a little tired after meeting so many people today. In fact, even if you don't talk or do anything in a crowd, you will feel tired.

As noon was approaching, Nanny Xu said goodbye and left. Mingyi took Nanny Zhao and Buwei back to the Summer Palace for dinner.

"The young master hasn't come back yet?" Mingyi stepped into the house and didn't see Zhou Ting, so she asked Chunmei and Rong Ma who were serving in the courtyard.

Aunt Rong smiled and said, "My lord, the prince is still in Heyun Courtyard."

"No, please ask your master to come back for dinner."

"Well, I obey your command. I will take my leave."

Bu Wei walked out of the Summer Palace with a smile on his face and went straight to Heyun Courtyard, stopping outside the study; he saw An San standing outside the door, which was open.

"An San, are you done with your work?"

An San raised his eyes and shook his head, "It took many days of government affairs, how can it be handled in half a day? You are back, and the Crown Prince's Consort is back too?"

"Yes, I have to meet the stewards and servants. There are too many of them. I have to give them instructions and ask them about business matters. The princess has been busy for a long time. She just entered the Summer Palace and ordered me to invite Master back for dinner."

An San looked up at Shi Chen and nodded, "You go in."

"okay."

Buwei stepped into the study, bowed, and said, "Sir, the Crown Prince's wife has finished her work, please go back and have dinner."

Zhou Ting was busy reviewing the memorials, writing quickly and steadily. After listening to Bu Wei's report, he immediately put down his brush and stood up, "Let's go, have dinner first. An San, have someone send the processed memorials to the generals. The affairs of the mansion and the properties under my name will be handed over to the Crown Prince's Consort in the future, and there is no need to hand them to me again."

"Subordinates take orders."

An San walked into the study, bowed and saw the person off.

Zhou Ting went back to accompany his wife, while An San counted the various account books, land deeds, house deeds, personal deeds and other items that had been prepared early in the morning.

The master has said that the palace will belong to the Crown Prince's wife in the future, and everything will be in her hands. An San also found it novel, because he had never seen a master who handed over the front yard to his wife.

In wealthy families, the accounts and management of the backyard and the front yard are separate.

His master gave away all his family assets as soon as he got married.

Handing the front yard over to the Crown Prince's Consort meant that they all had to obey; although they were loyal and would not disrespect the Crown Prince's Consort, whether their lives were in the Crown Prince's Consort's hands or not was another matter.

"Yiyi, I'm back."

When Zhou Ting stepped into the Summer Palace, the voices arrived before she even showed up.

Mingyi heard the noise and saw the lunch being placed on the table, she smiled and went out to greet them.

"Chao Sheng, are you busy today?"

"Not very busy, I'm reviewing memorials, there are a lot of them piled up, it takes a bit of time to review them." He held the bride's soft hands, which were tender, smooth and white, making people love them. "What about you? What do you think of the steward and the servants after seeing them?"

"The palace is running well under the management of my mother. I will check the accounts first. After checking the accounts, I will have a better understanding of the palace's accounts. Then we can talk about the next step."
