Du Guangyi is now on the pass. He looked at Liu Wei, and then looked at Xuanyue secretly, full of doubts in his heart, unable to guess what the Crown Princess wanted to do.

Liu Wei took the initiative to say: "Niangniang, let me accompany Cuiyun! Those turtle grandchildren, I have long wanted to beat them!"

Xuanyue shook her head: "No! I have a task for you later! Cuiyun, do you dare to go? Tell me, don't be afraid, just say what you have in mind."

"Cuiyun is afraid, but Cuiyun dares to go! As long as the mother asks me to go, I will dare to go!"

Cuiyun mustered up his courage and confessed his intentions.

Xuanyue said: "Old Du!"

Du Guangyi said, "The old slave is here!"

Xuanyue said: "Calculate how much the Ministry of Internal Affairs owes us in total, including the offerings, taxes, etc.! Then, calculate how much money Cuiyun should have received during the years in the Prince's Mansion!"

Du Guangyi said, "This girl Cuiyun is actually not from the Prince's Mansion."

Xuanyue pretended to be angry and said: "What's not? She lives in the Prince's Mansion and works for the Prince's Mansion. She is the people of the Prince's Mansion! We people in the Prince's Mansion must not be bullied! Just do whatever I ask you to do. !"

"Yes Yes!"

Du Guangyi was a little frightened. I didn't expect that this beautiful and approachable crown princess would get angry when she said she was angry. It was really hard to provoke her! But in this way, he is happy and joyful. With such a difficult prince concubine, in the future, the prince's palace will not be bullied! His heart was full of thoughts of the interests of the Prince's Mansion, and he was scolded a few times, but he didn't take it to heart.

Du Guangyi used to be a Taifu, a bachelor, full of knowledge. It didn't take long for him to count all the accounts of the past ten years, and also count out Cuiyun's salary, but he secretly said that Cuiyun's salary was less. Cuiyun has come to the Prince's Mansion since he was twelve years old. It has been six or seven years, and his total salary should be more than 400 silver coins. But he only reported three hundred.

Xuanyue said: "You write all the accounts on the paper, and write them clearly one by one!"

Du Guangyi followed his words, wrote all the accounts, handed them over to Xuanyue, and said that Niangniang. Regarding the part of the income from the estate, the old slave has not seen the detailed accounts, and can only make a rough estimate based on the harvest of the year, so it should not be too accurate, but it is definitely not much different.

Xuanyue nodded with satisfaction: "You are a master, I believe in you!"

Du Guangyi said: "My lady, please take a look and see if there is any problem. If there is any doubt, the old slave will change it immediately."

Xuanyue said: "There are no problems with the others, but the last one, Cuiyun's offering, has three hundred written on the back?"

Du Guangyi thought that Xuanyue thought he had written too much, and quickly explained: "Cuiyun has been in the house for six or seven years, and the monthly salary is four silver coins. After six years, it is probably more than 280 silver coins. The old slave dared to write a three hundred."

Xuanyue smiled and said, "The monthly salary is so small? And doesn't it increase in six or seven years?"

On the side, Liu Wei said with grievances: "Nowadays, the monthly salary of a maid from an ordinary big family is seven or eight silver coins! The maid of the First Prince's Mansion, the monthly salary is twelve silver coins. If it is calculated according to the average maid, it will be more than 500 in six years. It’s a silver coin! If you count it according to the maid’s salary in the First Prince’s Mansion, it’s almost a thousand silver coins! Lao Du, you only wrote three hundred silver coins, so you’re not being kind to your granddaughter!”

"Three hundred is enough! Three hundred is enough!" Du Guangyi said quickly.

Xuanyue said: "Then why didn't you write the word silver coins on the back of your three hundred?"

Du Guangyi said: "My lord, forgive me! The old slave is negligent! The old slave will add it."

"Bring a pen, I'll add it!"

"Niangniang, let the old slave do this kind of rough work!"

"Pen!"

Xuanyue roared hard!

"Yes! Yes!" Du Guangyi was so frightened that he hurriedly sent the brush over!

Xuanyue waved her pen and added two big words at the back - gold coins!

Du Guangyi looked dumbfounded: "Niangniang! You are..."

Xuanyue smiled and said, "My chief maid of the Prince's Mansion, how can you be rude with a low salary? I mean, isn't it too shameful to have a low monthly salary?"

Du Guangyi said, "But three hundred gold coins...this is a bit..."

Even according to the standards of the First Prince's Mansion, one thousand silver coins is ten gold coins! However, the addition of the two words Xuanyue turned into 300 gold coins, or 30,000 silver coins! I'm afraid there is no maidservant with such a high value in the world!

Xuanyue said: "Don't be long-winded! I said 300 gold coins are 300 gold coins! Anyway, it's not the Prince's Mansion who paid for it, but the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the money!"

When Liu Wei heard this, he was delighted: "Old Du, don't hesitate, don't give up in vain! It's better to let them bleed once for the group of turtle grandchildren in the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Du Guangyi said, "However, I'm afraid they won't give it!"

Xuanyue said: "Don't worry! I promise they won't dare not give it! She handed the note to Cuiyun, you immediately take this list and go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the money!"

Cuiyun held it, feeling heavy in his hand, and said with some fear: "Mother! What if they don't give it?"

Xuanyue said: "Just tell them that it was the prince and the prince's concubine who asked you to collect the money! Moreover, all of them must be cashed in cash, which must be obtained within today!"

Cuiyun said, "What if they still refuse to give it?"

Xuanyue said: "You just go! Just do as I say!"

"Yes! Cuiyun will go immediately!"

"Go!"

Although Cuiyun hesitated, at least he saw hope. Now that the crown prince and crown princess are back, the situation is different. Maybe the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are willing to give the money? But she didn't understand why the Crown Princess wanted to ask her for money? These things have always been in charge of her grandfather! She couldn't figure it out, she just didn't think about it. Didn't the lady say it? Just do what she says!

She's not very flexible, but she's not stupid either. She firmly remembered Xuan Yue's words, and then went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Du Guangyi and Liu Wei looked worried, but the Crown Princess told her to go alone, so they didn't say much.

Xuanyue saw their worries and said, "Old Du, Liu Wei, the reason why I let Cuiyun go alone, you will know the reason later. However, now you still have very important tasks."

Liu Wei said: "Empress, despite her orders! I, Liu Wei, are a rude person, and I don't know anything else, but as long as it's what my mother and His Highness ordered, I, Liu Wei, will go through fire and water!"

Xuanyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you go through fire!"

Du Guangyi is still more gentle and prudent: "Niangniang, if you have any orders, just explain them. From the time the prince was born, we have been the people by the prince's side. Now that the prince is back, we are both very happy that we can serve the prince. Your Highness and Empress, it is an honor for us both!"

Xuanyue said: "I want to ask you, are there any familiar or reliable people who can be introduced to the Prince's Mansion?"

Du Guangyi understood the meaning of Xuanyue's words as soon as he heard it: "Niangniang, do you mean...you want to expand the staff of the Prince's Mansion?"
