The Queen Mother's funeral affairs were officially concluded, and the mighty team set off back to Beijing.
When Yunchu got on the carriage, he saw the Crown Princess in front of him with a bad expression. He could feel the Crown Princess's bad mood from a distance.
She also saw that the Crown Prince had an extra carriage following behind the Crown Princess.
After getting on the carriage, Qiu Tong whispered: "The prince went up the mountain last night and almost became a tiger's meal. It was a palace maid who raised tigers who saved the prince. The palace maid was seriously injured. The prince was going to kill her." Take him back to the capital for treatment."
Yunchu knew that the prince was a bit lecherous. In addition to the concubines who could get on a jade plate, there were more than 20 concubines in the East Palace.
But bringing people back to the capital from the imperial mausoleum is still a bit ugly, and it's no wonder that the princess is so angry.
For some reason, Yunchu always felt that this matter was weird, so she said, "Qiutong, let the Intelligence Bureau keep a closer eye on it."
The carriage wandered on the road for most of the night, and finally arrived in the capital in the afternoon. The two children were tired and sleepy, and fell asleep in Yun Chu's arms.
Just as she was about to pick up the children and get off the carriage, the curtain was opened. Chu Yi stooped down and walked in. He picked up the two children one by one and said in a low voice: "Chu'er, thank you for your hard work."
In the past two days, he had been busy with various things and could not take care of his children or Yun Chu.
Now that I am finally free, I am not willing to let Yun Chu work hard anymore.
He carried the child down and handed it to the serving nanny, then took Yun Chu's hand and walked inside. When he reached the main courtyard, he picked up Yun Chu in his arms.
"Chu Yi!" Yun Chu held his forehead, "Why don't you take a good rest now that you have time? Aren't you tired from the past two days?"
"I'm not tired." Chu Yi carried her into the inner room, "I just want to spend a good time with you."
He hugged Yun Chu and lay on the couch, closing his eyes peacefully.
Yun Chu's heart was also particularly peaceful. He had just closed his eyes to rest his mind, but he fell asleep at some point.
When she woke up again, she saw Chu Yi holding Chang Sheng and teaching Brother Yu to write. The father and son were sitting under the sunset, as quiet and beautiful as a scroll.
"Mother, you're awake." Chu Hongyu saw Yun Chu coming out first, and immediately threw down the brush and rushed over, "Mother, come and see what I have written. Does it look good?"
Yun Chu picked up the rice paper and said: "The glyphs are OK, but they lack some strength. But you are young and don't be in a hurry. Let's take our time."
The family of four had their meal in the main courtyard.
As soon as Chu Yi put down his chopsticks, a subordinate came to report the news, so he got up and went to work.
Yunchu knew that it was normal for him to be busy, and he should be anxious only when he was not busy.
After she coaxed the two children to sleep, Tingxue came to report what happened in the house these past two days: "...everything is fine."
After a pause, he continued, "When the princess was away for the past two days, my grandmother was in charge of the affairs in the palace, and nothing was reported to the main courtyard."
According to the rules, even if the head mistress is not in the house, all matters in the inner courtyard must be reported to the eldest maid next to the mistress, who will then report to the mistress.
Yun Chu said: "The prince and I have been married for more than a month. It's really time to take over the internal affairs of the house. Tomorrow morning, you ask all the housekeepers, wives and maids to come to the main courtyard."
Nanny Er is in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace, and General Manager Cheng is in charge of the outer courtyard. Over the years, the two of them have managed the palace in an orderly manner. She never thought of taking these matters into her own hands at first.
But it is obvious that Grandma Er has her own selfish motives.
Naturally, the power to manage the inner court cannot be handed over to people with selfish motives.
In the middle of the night, Yunchu vaguely felt that there was someone else on the bed. It was Chu Yi who came back after finishing his work.
Although she was awakened by the noise, she quickly fell asleep again.
Before dawn the next day, she opened her eyes and stood up very gently, preparing to practice martial arts.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she got up, Chu Yi got up and went to practice martial arts with her.
The couple walked to the yard and saw the little guy Chu Hongyu yawning and gesticulating with a spear in his hand.
"Mother, father, you are finally up." When the little guy saw them, he immediately became energetic, "I have been practicing for a quarter of an hour."
Yun Chu coughed.
If this guy Chu Yi hadn't been pestering her, she wouldn't have wasted this quarter of an hour.
She glared at the man next to her: "You go and teach your son to practice spearing, and I will practice dagger by myself."
Chu Yi thinks this guy is superfluous.
He could have practiced the double dagger with Yunchu, but he was forced to pick up a spear.
After practicing for almost half an hour, Chu Yi was about to go to court, Brother Yu was also going to the Imperial Academy, and the father and son went out together.
Yunchu took a shower, changed his clothes, and called Chang Sheng.
In the past two days, she was looking for a teacher to teach. Because Chang Sheng was timid, she wanted to find a gentle teacher. She didn't need to be knowledgeable, just gentle and patient. It was best to be a female teacher.
Don't be in a hurry at this moment, just take your time and explore.
After Chang Sheng got up, he and Yun Chu had breakfast together, and then he sat down and started painting.
At this time, Tingxue had already asked the ladies and maids of the palace to come to the main courtyard.
This was the first time that Yun Chu called everyone here after marrying into the palace. These women all knew exactly what they were going to do.
Yun Chu sat in his seat and looked up. There were as many as forty or fifty people in charge of the palace, and this was when there were only three masters.
"Don't be nervous, everyone." She said with a smile, "I have been in the palace for a while, and there are always some people who I can't name. I call you here. The main reason is to get to know each other. Starting from this person, I will tell you my name one by one and tell you what you want. What are you responsible for, Tingxue, you come and register."
Grandma Er lowered her eyes.
She has the personnel list in the mansion, but the princess doesn't ask her to get it, but she bothers to re-register it.
Just because she sent Ding Dong to serve in the main courtyard, did the princess deliberately put her in trouble?
"I have met the princess. The old slave's surname is Wang. Everyone in the house calls the old slave Auntie Wang. The old slave is mainly responsible for the kitchen purchases..."
"I've met the princess. My name is Cailian. I'm in charge of the kitchen and check in and out every day..."
Everyone introduced themselves one by one, and soon it was Grandma's turn.
Aunt Er stepped forward, lowered her head and said: "Greetings to the princess, this old servant's surname is Er, and she is the prince's wet nurse. Everyone in the house calls her Nanny Er. Since the prince opened his house, because he has no mistress, there is no mistress in the house. The old slave is in charge of everything big and small. All matters in each courtyard, the handover of the inner and outer courtyards, and the coordination with the internal affairs office in the palace... these are all the responsibilities of the old slave."
Yun Chu nodded: "When you were young, you were pregnant with the prince. Now you are almost fifty years old. At the age of retirement, you still have to manage the inside and outside of the prince's palace. It is really hard."
Grandma Er tightened her fingers.
She knew that the princess must have caused such a big fight to take back the power in her hands.
She paused and said: "It's not hard to return to the princess. It is the mission of the old slave to solve the problems for the prince and the princess. The old slave also wants to live in peace and contentment, but the maids under him cannot support the big things..."
Yunchu heard it.
My grandma is greedy for power and is unwilling to let go.
Just think about it, would a person who has been in charge of the palace for more than ten years be willing to suddenly turn her into an ordinary nanny?
Those who have enjoyed power will never let it go.
