The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 718 The prince is a pauper (5)
What I feel is that with these gifts in hand, the matter of giving gifts for the New Year can be easily solved, and there is no need to send people out to buy additional gifts.What worries me is that the gifts received now will be returned with the gifts in the future.But no matter what, the New Year's gift was finally resolved.Xiao Mingyu said to Wen Hai, "Thank you, Eunuch Wen, today. Now, there is one more thing that Eunuch Wen needs to work on."

"Princess, please give me instructions." Wen Hai said respectfully.

Xiao Mingyu pondered for a moment, and said, "Please ask Eunuch Wen to help draw up the gift list. After all, this is the first time the prince has given gifts since he opened the mansion. You must not be a little sloppy. I still have a lot to learn in this regard, so I will ask you to help me with this matter first." Eunuch Wen, take care of yourself. In the end, we will go to see the prince together and let him make a decision."

"The servant obeys the order, the princess is at ease, the servant will definitely see and settle this matter."

Xiao Mingyu smiled relaxedly, "Those who are capable will have to work harder. With the help of Eunuch Wen, this princess is also much more relaxed. Next, this princess has some things to ask for advice."

"The princess is polite, the princess has something to do, just ask her to do it."

Xiao Mingyu nodded, and said casually, "It is said that most of the servants of the palace are arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Is Eunuch Wen familiar with these people? Who needs special attention."

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Wen Hai became very seldom, and he was so stingy with words, "I want to report to the princess, the servant has been serving the prince all the time, and he is not familiar with the people below."

Xiao Mingyu frowned slightly, "Did Mr. Wen really have nothing to say? Didn't the prince express anything?"

Wen Hai shook his head, "My lord never mentioned this matter."

Xiao Mingyu knew well at this moment that the water for the servants of the palace was relatively deep, and it was not the time to get involved in this aspect yet.Xiao Mingyu laughed, "Okay, my princess understands. Go down first."

"The slave obeys."

Xiao Mingyu curled his fingers and tapped the table lightly.Xiao Mingyu dared not and would not use people with ulterior motives or questionable positions to serve in the palace, the manpower of the palace must be cleaned up.But judging from Wen Hai's point of view, these people are not so easy to clean up.Xiao Mingyu laughed, the more difficult things were, the more interested she was in challenging them. "Come here, bring all the stewards, my princess has something to ask."

After Wen Hai resigned from Xiao Mingyu, he went straight back to the study in the outer courtyard.Zhou Gan will be reading in the study in the outer courtyard.Wen Hai walked in, waved his hand, and told all the servants to leave.Then he bowed and said, "My lord, the slave just came back from the princess."

Zhou Qian hummed, motioning Wen Hai to continue talking.

Wen Hai said what Xiao Mingyu had ordered, and finally said, "My lord, it seems that the princess intends to clean up the servants of the palace." That's all, there is no need to say any more.

Zhou Qian frowned slightly, and waved his hand, "This king knows about this, you go down first."

"The slave obeys."

Xiao Mingyu has seen all the stewards, and has a clear understanding of everyone's errands.Xiao Mingyu did not move these people's positions, but Xiao Mingyu still made arrangements for the main courtyard where he lived.For a while, all the sweepers were changed, the second was the second-class maids, the third-class maids, the girls with no grades, and other women. Xiao Mingyu asked Narcissus to make a registration first.Anyone who is a little bit inappropriate will be replaced.Xiao Mingyu secretly planned that the people in the main courtyard will have a big change sooner or later.She would never let someone with an unclear mind serve her by her side.

And taking advantage of the rush at the end of the year, Xiao Mingyu secretly let the two families go out.The two families were picked by mistake, and they were the people who were pushed in by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Xiao Mingyu found the right opportunity and sent both families out.No one was alarmed.Even if the servants of the palace knew about it, they didn't have time to ask or discuss it because they had too much to worry about.Among the people who were sent out, one was originally serving in the main courtyard.

After dinner in the evening, Xiao Mingyu took a walk with Zhou Gan to digest food.Xiao Mingyu first talked to Zhou Gan about the gift giving, Zhou Gan said with a smile, "You can arrange this matter. The account book is the key to the warehouse, can the account book be handed over to you?"

"It's all handed over." Xiao Mingyu smiled, and made another joke, saying that Zhou Gan would become a pauper sooner or later based on that little juelu.Zhou Gan held Xiao Mingyu in his arms, and said with a smile, "So I want to marry a good wife, so that I can avoid the fate of begging in the streets."

Xiao Mingyu laughed loudly, hooked Zhou Gan's collar, "Is Changkang sure of me?"

"Of course, you are the concubine of this prince, so this prince will naturally curry favor with you. Your Highness, concubine, let me curry favor with you. I will depend on the concubine for everything I eat and drink in the future."

Xiao Mingyu looked at Zhou Qian with a smile on his face, "The prince is willing to put down his figure, but this princess will reluctantly let you curry favor."

"The princess really loves this king, and this king is very happy. Why don't you let the king serve the princess well tonight, in order to repay the generosity of the princess."

Xiao Mingyu hurriedly jumped away, "I don't need anyone to take care of my concubine for the time being, so I'd better save my lord's intentions for another day."

Zhou Gan grabbed Xiao Mingyu, "My lady is so cruel, she won't let me serve you."

Xiao Mingyu suppressed a smile, "Changkang, I have something to talk to you about, can we talk at a different pace."

Zhou Gan restrained his expression, "Okay, Mingyu has something to say to this king, this king listens."

Xiao Mingyu thought for a while, and then said, "Today, I asked Mr. Wen what he thinks about the servants in the mansion. Mr. Wen didn't say a word, and seemed to be very taboo about this topic. It's just that I think that the man in the mansion After all, we didn’t choose the servants ourselves, so it’s inevitable that there will be some good and some bad ones, so why don’t we clean it up and make the palace a bit cleaner.”

Zhou Gan looked at Xiao Mingyu intently, "You can do this matter according to your own will. I didn't do anything before, and I didn't want to cause trouble. Since you talked about this matter today, I will tell you the truth. The palace The people inside, except for the people who serve you and me, the rest of the people are almost untrustworthy."

Xiao Mingyu turned pale with shock, is this the rhythm of changing all the servants of the palace?

"In name, they are all servants arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In fact, these people are arranged by the mother and concubine, by the father, by the East Palace, by the queen, by the Wei family, and others. After all, there is no manpower arranged by the two of us." Speaking of this, Zhou Gan laughed at himself, "Hearing this, do you think this king is very incompetent?"

Xiao Mingyu covered Zhou Gan's lips, "Don't say that. Changkang has just opened the mansion, so this situation is inevitable. I believe that other princes also faced this situation when they opened the mansion."

Zhou Gan took Xiao Mingyu's hand away and laughed, "You are right, this kind of thing is very common, and people in the royal family have long seen it. But this palace is the residence of the king and you, and the people who work in this palace , must be someone who is loyal to you and me. When I was in the palace before, this king could not care about the manpower placed by others. But now, this king has to care. If this king even owns his mansion If you can't clean it up, what right does the king have to stand in the court hall?"
