无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

Jiang Ning had always been very annoyed with this child.

After all, she was not the original host and did not know how this child came about or who conceived it.

She felt it was a burden and wanted to get rid of the child.

But when she felt the gentle nudges from the child, her heart softened a little.

After all, it was just an innocent baby.

Now connected by blood with her, relying on her for survival.

Thinking of the birth control soup she drank, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but worry a little.

Although most of it had been vomited out, it was hard to tell if any had been swallowed.

Would it affect the child?

After feeling carefully for a moment, other than being hungry and hot, there was no uncomfortable feeling.

The occasional light fetal movement in her stomach also didn’t cause any discomfort.

Jiang Ning sat quietly for a while until Huang Ying came over.

“The Princess Consort is awake.” She lifted the tent, “How is the Princess Consort feeling now?”

Jiang Ning smiled: “Nothing much. It’s just… so hot.”

Huang Ying bitterly smiled: “Dongxie went to get ice, but there’s none left.”

“They just don’t want to give it, right?”

“It is Madam Zhao and the others who are in charge of the supplies in the harem now.”

“What do they count for? They’re just looking at Prince of Yu’s eyes. If the Prince shows that he doesn’t like me, they naturally imitate his behavior.” Jiang Ning helped her stand up.

Huang Ying said, “In principle, when the Princess Consort enters the door, the supplies of the Prince’s Mansion should be handed over to the Princess Consort. But…”

“But the Prince of Yu has no such intention at all.”

“Princess Consort…”

“Look at you, so worried.” Jiang Ning took a few steps, felt her body loosening up a bit, then sat down and smiled, “Can’t we live without relying on them? When we came, what did we bring?”

“We brought… betrothal gifts, and… dowry?”

“Isn’t it all money?”

“…Yes, it is.”

“With so much money, what can’t be bought for food, clothing, and expenses?” Jiang Ning smiled, “You have to go and ask them humbly, look at their faces. Why bother?”

Huang Ying looked at her and smiled with some relief: “This servant was afraid that the Princess Consort would be depressed.”

“Don’t live so hard.” Jiang Ning pushed the wheelchair, “Where are the betrothal gifts and dowry? Let’s go and take a look.”

So, the master and servant went to the storeroom. Many things had not been properly sorted, but there were invoices.

There were invoices for both the betrothal gifts and the dowry, and the long list was clear and transparent.

Ancient paintings and calligraphy were just passable, as they were collectibles and she didn’t want to touch them unless she had no choice. There were also many property deeds, and plenty of gold, silver, and jewelry.

Jiang Ning asked Huang Ying to pick out all the gold and silver and fill a small chest with them.

“Just this money is enough for us to eat and drink for a long time.”

Jiang Ning was very happy and took out five silver ingots, giving them to Huang Ying and the other five palace maids, saying: “This is this month’s spending for you. Also, in the future, Huang Ying will be in charge of the accounts. Keep the keys and if anything is lacking, use the money to buy it, choose the best.”

Each ingot was five taels of silver.

When Chunlai and the others were with the Jiang Family, they only received two taels of silver each month. This was a considerable increase.

They were all a bit apprehensive.

Jiang Ning said: “I’m not a miser, and money has value when it’s spent. You all need to be paid well to stay loyal.”

They didn’t understand what she meant by wages and job-hopping.

Huang Ying, however, understood a little and smiled, “Princess Consort, their contracts are all in the Prince’s Mansion, and their families are also there. They are the most loyal to the Princess Consort. You can rest assured..”
