Zhu Lie stared at the account book in Ye Yunting's hand sadly, with eager eyes.

Ye Yunting felt a little hot while holding the account books.

He glanced at Li Fengqi, a little unsure whether what he just said was true, or whether he was just using him as a raft to rebuff Zhu Lie.

"It's useless to keep all the money in the palace. I just won't give it to you. Let's borrow the sum..." Zhu Lie still refused to give up. This is a hundred thousand taels of silver. If you don't give it all, how about sharing some of the sum?

If not, you can borrow it first and use it.

The Dudu Mansion is so poor, how can the prince favor one over the other?

Li Fengqi sneered and saw through his little thoughts: "I lent it to you, can I still pay it back? In the past years, there was no record of any debits from my private treasury, but have you ever paid them back?"

The Governor's Mansion was not always so poor. Occasionally when it was rich, Zhu Lie never replenished his private treasury.

In the past, it was fine if there was no one in the palace. Now that he has a family, he naturally has to take care of his family.

As soon as he heard that he was going to settle old scores, Zhu Lie's longing eyes suddenly froze. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Aren't the Governor's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion all from the same family? Why do they need to be so clear-cut?"

In the past few years, Zhu Lie has been managing the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and the most common thing he has done is to renege on debts. His face has been tempered for a long time, and he does not feel guilty at all when he says this.

If Li Fengqi's legs and feet hadn't healed yet, he would have kicked him directly.

"I think your skin is itchy." Li Fengqi sneered.

Zhu Lie stepped back while pulling Wu Geng, trying to find allies: "Isn't there nothing I can do? It costs more to raise troops?!"

Wu Geng, who was standing next to him, silently slapped his hand away, ignoring his angry and accusing eyes, and stood behind Li Fengqi.

He felt that Zhu Lie was not very smart and actually said that the prince was in debt in front of the princess.

Isn’t this a shame for the prince?!

You're lucky if you didn't get beaten up.

Zhu Lie, who was alone and unable to get any money in the end, was afraid of being beaten by Li Fengqi, so he reluctantly ran away.

Ye Yunting looked amused, but also worried: "Northern Xinjiang is so short of money, does the prince really not care?"

The hundred thousand taels of gold and silver in this account book were obtained for free.

Li Fengqi raised his eyes and looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "If you give it to Zhu Lie, the palace's books will be empty. Besides, he can also get the money from other places, but it's easier to get it from me.

, I got used to him." He said slowly: "Now is no better than before. After all, I am a man with a family and a large family to support."

Ye Yunting's ears felt hot again when he heard him say "I have a family and a room". He touched the account book in his sleeve and murmured: "The house's daily expenses are not big..."

Moreover, the entire palace has only three masters, so where can a large family come from?

Li Fengqi clicked his tongue: "No matter how big the expenditure is, there can't be no money in the books." He patted Ye Yunting's arm and warned: "These account books and warehouse keys will be handed over to the eldest son to take care of. If they continue to be left with Zhu Lie,

I'm afraid it will be emptied out in a few days." He clicked Wu Geng again: "Wu Geng also worked with the old steward of the palace in the past, so you can ask him to help you."

Wu Geng nodded when he heard the words: "Princess, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."

The two of them were singing along, and Ye Yunting couldn't shirk anymore. He could only accept it and collected the account books and warehouse keys in a daze.

…

After the two of them inspected the warehouse, they separated to do their own work.

Li Fengqi still had to deal with official business, so he went to the study with Wu Geng. Ye Yunting returned to the main room with the account books and keys. Although it was a bit unexpected for Li Fengqi to suddenly hand over the palace's accounts to him, since he agreed, he naturally could not let Li Fengqi down.

Some trust.

Ye Yunting looked through the account books carefully, while Ji Lian stood by and looked at the figures on the accounts and was speechless: "Will the young master take care of all these silver coins and farmland in the future?"

He has never seen so much silver in his life!

Developed!

He had a round, white face, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells. Ye Yunting was amused by him: "Leave it to me, it doesn't mean that everything belongs to me."

Ji Lian scratched his head and muttered in confusion: "But I think in the past, the wife was in charge of the accounts in the Duke's mansion, so she could take whatever she wanted."

In his opinion, King Yong'an gave the palace's accounts and warehouse keys to his young master, which meant that he made the young master the head of the family.

Since you are in charge of the household accounts, you can naturally use the money at will!

They have money!

Ji Lian's face was filled with joy.

Ye Yunting wanted to explain a few words to him, but found that what he said seemed to make some sense. If it were an ordinary couple, and the mother and mother were in charge of the accounts, it would naturally mean that they were the masters of the family. But the situation between him and Li Fengqi was different. They said that it was

Husband and wife, it's actually just a temporary cooperation. Li Fengqi gave him the account books just because there was no one in the house to take care of the accounts, so he gave it to him temporarily, right?

As he was thinking this, he somehow thought of Li Fengqi's words: "Now is no better than before. After all, I am a man with a family."

He has a family and a family, and this family seems to refer to him... But his reason tells Ye Yunting not to think too much.

Li Fengqi probably just said it casually and didn't think much about it.

He shook his head, getting rid of those overly ambiguous thoughts, and Su Rong warned Ji Lian: "The things here are too complicated. Just remember that I am only temporarily taking care of the accounts. All the money belongs to the palace."

, has nothing to do with us.”

Ji Lian let out a disappointed "Oh", like a piece of dough that had been flattened and wilted.

Ye Yunting was angry and funny: "We don't have anything to spend money on. It doesn't make any difference whether we have money or not."

I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the palace now, even if I need so much money.

"How is that the same?" Ji Lian whispered: "If you have money, you don't spend it. Just looking at it makes you happy."

He still remembered how the young master had to search and save for a long time even to buy pen and paper.

How many fine pens, inks, papers and inkstones can be bought with one hundred thousand taels of silver?!

Ji Lian was extremely greedy.

Ye Yunting laughed when he saw it, rolled up the account book and knocked on his head: "Okay, don't think about it, it's not yours or mine after all."

Ji Lian pursed his lips, groaned and went to eat some snacks.

Ye Yunting went through the accounts, and then it was time for dinner. It happened that Li Fengqi had also finished handling official duties, and the two of them had dinner together and then went to see the Wolf King.

The wolf king was temporarily placed in a vacant yard, and two or three live chickens and clean water were put in the iron cage.

When Ye Yunting and others passed by, they saw only scattered chicken feathers left in the animal cage. The wolf king was lying in the corner of the cage, licking the wounds on his body. When he saw the two people approaching, he stopped and looked up, then lowered his head and continued licking his feathers.

——The Wolf King ate all three chickens cleanly, licking them clean without wasting a drop of blood.

"This wolf king is really tenacious, and he regained his energy so quickly." Li Fengqi looked at it and couldn't help but admire it.

Ye Yunting nodded in agreement: "Looking at its appearance, it will be enough to raise it for another ten days and a half. When its injury is healed, we will send it to the mountains and release it."

Li Fengqi didn't agree or object, he just said: "Let's keep it first."

Ye Yunting asked someone to replenish food and water for the Wolf King. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he pushed Li Fengqi around twice to eat, and then they went back to the main room to sleep together.

After the two bathed one after another, they changed into clean middle clothes and prepared to sleep.

These days it is customary for the two of them to sleep together, but for some reason today, Ye Yunting was lying on the inside and felt awkward again.

While holding Tang Pozi in his arms, he thought that what happened during the day was indeed causing trouble. He closed his eyes and forced himself not to think about what happened in the sedan.

But the more I think about it, the more uncontrollable memories come to my mind.

He turned over several times irritably, unable to calm down and fall asleep.

Seeing him tossing and turning, Li Fengqi curled up his lips and said, "Young master, can't sleep? Why don't you talk to me?"

Ye Yunting paused and turned around slowly: "What does the prince want to say?"

"Tell me how to arrange the banquet?" Li Fengqi turned sideways to him and narrowed the distance between the two of them: "The date has been set and the guests have been invited. It's time to prepare for the banquet."

Hearing him talking about business, Ye Yunting felt relieved and said: "I have already given the order, and the people below are already making preparations for purchasing."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Li Fengqi's side face was fixed, his tone was calm and serious, and he said: "On the day of the banquet, most officials will be present. Some of them want to have a relationship with me, and some of them are here to test my true identity...

Those who returned it just wanted to see my jokes."

His expression was very serious: "In the eyes of some people, the powerful King Yong'an is not good at what he does now, and he was given a male princess. He must be full of humiliation. There must be no peace in the palace.

…”

Ye Yunting was stunned for a while after hearing this: "Why does the prince care about the opinions of outsiders?"

"It's not that I care about what outsiders think." Li Fengqi said slowly, "I just don't like to be misunderstood. So I need the eldest son to cooperate with me."

Ye Yunting blinked slowly: "How to cooperate?"

"The eldest son will know when the time comes." Li Fengqi smiled at him, his brows stretched, showing a rare warmth.

Ye Yunting's eyelids twitched, and his heart also jumped. He arched his body, hugged Mrs. Tang to his chest, said "Oh", and said: "I know."

When Li Fengqi saw that he agreed, he added: "If you have nothing to do tomorrow, the eldest son will accompany me out of the house. Let's go to bed early tonight." After saying that, he tucked Ye Yunting's quilt and closed it facing him.

Blinded.

Ye Yunting stared at his handsome features for a moment, pursed his lips, and shrank into the quilt.

sleep.
