Li Junche was reviewing military affairs, "What's the matter?"
Butler Li lowered his head and said: "Back to the prince, the princess asked the servant to arrange two skilled and handsome guards for her."
Li Junche's hand holding the brush stopped in the air, and the ink dripped on the white paper and smudged. After a while, he said: "Just give her two good ones with average looks."
"Yes." Butler Li left the study and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The prince seemed a little unhappy just now.
In the study, Murong Nie had some questions, "There are two hundred guards in the princess's dowry, why does she still ask Butler Li for help?"
Li Junche opened the ink-stained white paper and put it aside, "Since she can kill her personal maid, how can she trust those guards? If you send people to keep an eye on some of them, there is no guarantee that there won't be any sent by Linyue Kingdom. Work carefully."
Murong Nie asked: "My lord, don't you suspect that the princess is a craftsman?"
Li Junche raised his eyes, "Yes or no, let's see."
Butler Li came to the backyard with two guards, "Princess, my servant has brought you."
Wen Jinhe was lying on the bamboo couch in the courtyard, and the two of them stood aside to wait on her throughout the autumn and winter.
"Why does he look so ordinary?" At first glance, he could only be described as ordinary.
Butler Li explained: "Although they are not equally good-looking, their skills are the most powerful."
Wen Jinhe pondered, being good at skills was more important than appearance, "What are their names?"
"Back to the princess, my subordinate is Zhao Bi."
"He Shi, my subordinate."
Seeing that the person was accepted by Wen Jinhe, Butler Li left.
On the way, he met Li Junche and was stopped, "Who are the two guards assigned to the princess?"
Butler Li reported back: "Returning to the prince, it's Zhao Bi and He Shi."
"Go down."
"yes."
The next day, Wen Jinhe took two maids and two guards to the warehouse to inspect the dowry he brought from Linyue Kingdom.
After opening a few boxes, he suddenly said angrily: "If it doesn't match what's on the dowry list, the guards must have robbed it. I'll arrest them all and torture them. If we can't find out the result, we'll kill them all."
Zhao Bi and He Shi, who were standing outside the warehouse, looked at each other. This princess was a bit ruthless, not inferior to her own prince at all.
There was an order from Wen Jinhe.
Soon, the two hundred guards from Linyue Kingdom were imprisoned.
After being tortured one after another, everyone cried out that they were wronged, but asked no questions.
Butler Li looked at these people with doubts in his heart. It didn't look like they had stolen the princess's dowry.
Undecided, he went to the backyard to ask Wen Jinhe, "Replying to the princess, the guards didn't say a word, they kept shouting that they were wronged."
Wen Jinhe signaled Man Dong, who was fanning, to stop, stood up and said, "On the way to the wedding, my princess's dowry was always guarded by them. Now it's gone. Who else but them? I'll put them all to death for stealing the master's property and not repenting." "
Butler Li's white hair on his forehead trembled slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
He stopped when he reached the door of the cell. This was the dowry of the princess and there was no need to inform the prince.
So he walked in and ordered: "The princess ordered that all these people be executed. After cleaning up, the bodies will be thrown into mass graves."
It was already night when Murong Nie found out about this.
He walked into the study with a nervous look on his face, "Two hundred people were executed at once. We were only married a few days ago? The princess acted too quickly and too harshly."
Li Junche stood up and walked to the window and looked in the direction of the backyard, "She is very smart. She wants to be free from supervision and surveillance. She would rather kill her by mistake than let her go."
Murong Nie said fearfully: "My subordinates now have no doubt that she is a spy sent by Linyue Kingdom. This is simply full of hatred, and she will kill her quickly. The princess is so ruthless, and my subordinates are a little worried about what you will do if you can't surrender." manage?"
Li Junche looked back and glanced at Murong Nie, "If Linyue Kingdom knew about this, she would definitely give up on Wen Jinhe. She has no other backer except me."
From beginning to end, she had no one to rely on.
Whether he was abandoned in the cold palace after birth or married to Beidi, he was always an abandoned child.
At night, Wen Jinhe took out hand cream and body lotion from the space and wiped them on.
The skin on this body is really rough, and there are even whip marks on the back.
The next day, Butler Li and two servants came to the backyard with a pile of ledgers, "Princess, these are the ledgers of the palace."
Wen Jinhe was a little stuffed from breakfast just now, so he drank several bowls of tea before he could hold it down, "Did the prince ask me to take charge of the house?"
Butler Li replied, "It was the prince's order early in the morning."
Wen Jinhe's eyes signaled Man Dong to put the account book on the table.
I took the book off the top and planned to flip through a few pages, but my face became increasingly ugly.
Frowning, he read all the ledgers one by one.
Butler Li, who was waiting aside, looked at Wen Jinhe's face and felt a little uneasy.
Wen Jinhe closed the last page, looked up and looked at Butler Li, and asked: "Why is there only this little money in the palace's account? Doesn't the prince have a salary? Doesn't the father give him a reward for his military achievements?"
The monthly expenses and income are almost proportional, and the money in the account is less than 10,000 taels, which is really incredible.
Butler Li said hesitantly: "The prince's salary is only enough for the daily expenses of the palace. In recent years, border wars have occurred frequently. Every time a soldier died, the prince would pay a pension, and the emperor's rewards were spent here. When military resources were tight, The prince will also pay some from his private treasury, so there is not much surplus in the government’s account.”
Wen Jinhe's eyes widened, "Pensions and military funds? Shouldn't these come from the national treasury?"
Butler Li hesitated, "Sometimes it's not enough. As a hussar general, the prince cannot help but subsidize the money."
Wen Jinhe took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something, "You just said that the prince's salary is only enough for the prince's daily expenses. What about the princess's future expenses?"
Butler Li presented the list with both hands and replied: "The prince is getting married, and the emperor has some rewards. This is a list, and it must be able to last for a while."
Wen Jinhe opened the order and her pretty eyebrows were completely locked. How long can such a thing last? The emperor of Beidi Kingdom is stingy.
"The palace of the majestic prince is actually empty. It won't be long before I have to use my princess's dowry to support myself. It's really ridiculous. You can take these account books. You are still in charge of all affairs in the palace. Report to me every half month. Can."
Wen Jinhe still thought about living a comfortable and wealthy life, but ended up marrying a prince, but she didn't expect that she would be a poor man.
Li Junche had a good skin, but he turned out to be a loser.
You always pay out of your own pocket. The palace’s private accounts are not the treasury, so do you need to subsidize them?
"Yes." Butler Li saw that Wen Jinhe's face was livid, and he was obviously very angry.
Are you planning to become a hands-off shopkeeper?
The dowry sent by Linyue Kingdom does not seem to be much.
In the past few days, he had also noticed that his princess was not a frugal person.
Eat good food and drink good food, and even enjoy it a little bit.
