Chapter 672 Chapter 672
The autumn morning was already a bit chilly, Hongying looked at the red sun that had just climbed into the sky, and thought that Bai Mo, a slob, must not have gotten up yet.

Thinking of this, a smile flashed across her lips, and then she entered Bai Mo and Si Yumin's bedroom lightly.

Unexpectedly, she was taken aback as soon as she entered, Bai Mo got up, and sat in front of the makeup mirror to let Pearl do her makeup!
This scene is tantamount to hell.

"Is this princess a ghost?" Bai Mo looked at Hong Ying in the mirror and asked.

Hongying quickly adjusted her status, "No, the maid originally wanted to come in and wake up the princess, but the princess got up early, this is the negligence of the servant."

"My concubine was settled early last night, so I got up early today."

Last night after Bai Mo took a bath, he was embraced by the big-tailed wolf Si Yumin as soon as he got on the bed, and his big palm even penetrated into her shirt.

Seeing that he was about to gnaw on her again, Bai Mo hurriedly told her about her menstruation, so Si Yumin had to stop, and then went to take a cold shower.

So Bai Mo slept very well last night, the best sleep since he got married.

She really wished that menstruation would never stop!

However, I didn't expect to wake up early today, but found Hongying sneaking in.

It seems that Hongying wants to search their bedroom.

"Princess, my maidservant will help you tie your hair in a bun." Hongying's expression could not be seen in the slightest, and she was about to take the comb from Pearl's hand.

Bai Mo refused with a smile, "I'm still used to Pearl dressing me, so I'd better go down and do other things."

Hongying had no choice but to back down.

Bai Mo looked at Hongying's disappearing back, and told Shui Ling, "Send two more hidden guards to guard the bedroom."

Shui Ling replied yes, and went down to make arrangements.

After breakfast, Bai Mo began to deal with the affairs of the palace.

After all, she is already the mistress of the palace, these are what she should do.

Unexpectedly, she just started taking care of it, but someone has already taken care of it.

It turned out that after Hongying came out of the white ink room, she went to the kitchen.

The purchase in the kitchen happened to say that the prices of rice and chicken had risen. Hongying immediately suspected that there was something tricky in it, so she went to check the accounts, and found that the purchase price of rice and chicken had doubled compared to the original price.

After Bai Mo heard that the maid had come to report, she asked the maid to lead her to the kitchen.

In the yard in front of the kitchen, a boy was arguing with Hong Ying with a blushing face and thick neck, "We didn't falsely report the price. The price of these rice and chicken has indeed tripled. If you don't believe me, you can go and check."

Hongying sneered, "You must have negotiated with those hawkers. I will only check to prove that you are right. But, the price has doubled, will anyone believe it? Therefore, you must have falsely reported the price and filled your own pockets! Someone, take them down and wait for disposal!"

But no one listened to her.

Hongying stared wide-eyed at the servants around her, "Are you deaf? They are sinners!"

"Is it a sinner? Isn't it up to the concubine and the prince to decide?" Bai Mo's voice sounded coldly.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly greeted Bai Mo.

After Bai Mo told everyone not to be too polite, he looked at Hongying, "Mama can't be idle!"

Hongying slightly bent her knees, and said respectfully: "Princess, the servants just came to the kitchen, and then found that they had quoted the price of chicken and rice higher, and the increase was doubled! Or once or twice is nothing to the palace, But if they were like this in the past, the amount accumulated over time is not a small amount! Therefore, the servant thinks that the princess should check the accounts of the palace to see how much these people have been greedy for."

"Mommy wants my princess to check the accounts of the palace?" Bai Mo asked seriously.

Hongying also nodded seriously, "The princess is the mistress of the palace. She just arrived at the palace, so she should check the accounts. If there were any problems before, they should be rectified immediately. If not, then check to see if there are any unnecessary expenses and reduce them. "

The corners of Bai Mo's lips curled slightly, rather than checking the accounts, it would be better to say that Hong Ying wanted to see the accounts of the palace.

After going around such a big circle, it is difficult for Hongying.

"As the saying goes, you don't have to be suspicious when you hire someone. Your Highness employs people based on this principle. This princess also trusts people he trusts."

How could Hongying give up this opportunity so easily, "But Wangfei, the amount of chicken and rice they buy has tripled! Does Wangfei feel that she doesn't care about such an abnormal thing?"

Bai Mo stared at Hongying for a long while without saying a word.

Everyone watched silently, and even couldn't help holding their breath.

Hongying couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, although she had received rigorous training and would not easily show flaws in her expression, but Bai Mo stared at her like this, she still felt a little guilty inside.

It was as if Bai Mo had seen through her heart.

"Princess, even if you look at the servants, the servants still insist on investigating them."

Bai Mo sneered in his heart, this Hongying probably looked at her because she didn't know how to read the ledger and how to manage the ledger.

That's right, she married in a hurry, and her grandmother and mother didn't have time to teach her how to read the account books. Everyone thought she couldn't read the account books.

It's a pity that she has learned it in her previous life and practiced it herself, so she may be more proficient than Hongying.

"It seems that Mammy is still not proficient in account management." Bai Mo smiled.

Hongying frowned, but Bai Mo actually said that she was not familiar with account management. Could it be that Bai Mo knows how to manage accounts?But it shouldn't be, she has inquired about it, and Bai Mo hasn't learned to read the ledger yet.

Presumably, Bai Mo should have pretended to scare her.

Hongying regained her confidence, "Princess, I have read the account books in the palace for more than ten years, how can I not be proficient..."

Bai Mo interrupted Hong Ying indifferently, "Then why when the price fluctuates, you don't check the situation first and then say that they falsely report the price?"

After hearing Bai Mo's words, Hongying felt bad.

Bai Mo's words sounded nothing like the words of someone who doesn't know how to manage accounts!

Could it be that the person who told her that Bai Mo had never learned account management was lying to her?
Bai Mo looked at the buyer, "Have you ever asked the peddler why the price of their chicken and rice has increased?"

The servant replied respectfully: "Back to the princess, the servant asked. They said that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rice harvest was reduced by [-]%, so the price had to be doubled, and the price of the chicken would increase because of the chicken plague some time ago. They were basically culled, and after the plague passed, the number of chickens dropped sharply, so the price of chicken also tripled."

Bai Mo nodded slightly, "A while ago, when I watched the prince deal with official documents, I did hear him talk about the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. As for chicken plague, I believe everyone has heard of it. After all, the order to cull live poultry was ordered by the government."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Mo looked at Hongying, "After listening to this answer, mama still thinks they are suspicious?"
