Du Hongfei looked embarrassed when he asked this question.

Every time he entered the palace, he taught the prince to read and learn from the achievements of his predecessors, and he never discussed the affairs of the court.

But Anzu and the prince agreed with the young master's proposal in the court, and even presented the charter, which was praised by the emperor.

He always believed that his status in the heart of the prince was much higher than that of Anzu.

But when I saw it today, I was slapped in the face.

From the beginning to the end, he was the dispensable person in the prince's heart.

Mr. Jiang knew that his question directly touched his pain point.

Since they all fell silent, it seems that Mr. Du has not yet recognized his identity. They are just aides to the Du Mansion, and most of what they know about the affairs of the DPRK comes from Mr. Du's mouth.

After a long time, they all discovered a problem.

Mr. Du always liked to be self-centered. Every time he called them over to discuss issues, it was all from his point of view. He never thought about whether the female prince and the prince in the royal family were willing to fight.

Du Hongfei felt very uncomfortable. It turned out that the prince had always known the emperor's attitude.

But I never reminded him.

No... I should have reminded him, but he just didn't hear it.

"My lord, please think twice before you act. The position of the female prince in the hearts of the prince and the emperor is very important. If you continue to advise the prince to be careful of the female prince, I am afraid that the prince will be disgusted with you."

There is another point that Mr. Jiang did not say.

I'm afraid that the prince is tired of him now. Otherwise, instead of looking for him for such a big matter, he would investigate it with Anzu?

The most frightening thing is that the emperor is probably dissatisfied with Du Hongfei.

They didn't dare to say this. After they said it, they and their staff could no longer stay in the Du family.

After all, they are all smart people and know very well what to say and what not to say.

So far, Du Hongfei will figure it out sooner or later.

"Sir, there is a decree from the palace. It is said that the emperor has a decree."

Outside, the housekeeper knocked on the study door.

Several people in the study were surprised, and they were speculating on the holy intention.

Unexpectedly, the Du family received an oral order so soon.

The person who came to deliver the message was the Grand Eunuch, who was the emperor's personal attendant.

When someone came from the palace, the news spread to the back house. Mrs. Du walked from the back house to the front yard and happened to meet Du Hongfei halfway.

Du Hongfei saw his wife dressed simply and smartly. This was the first time he saw Mrs. Du so decorated.

Does she really intend to get divorced?

He didn't even bother to dress up.

Compared with the gorgeously dressed concubines behind her, she doesn't look like the matron of a family at all.

His face darkened, but Mrs. Du never looked at her from beginning to end.

Walk past him and walk towards the main hall.

The chamberlain had been standing in the hall and had been drinking tea for a while. When he saw Mr. Du and the others coming, he stood up and bowed to them, then stood up straight and waited for them to finish kneeling.

"The Emperor has decreed that from now on, Mrs. Du will be a female scholar, assisting the female master in establishing a female school and compiling female school textbooks."

Then, the chamberlain took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Madam Du.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Du, this is a token unique to female scholars. Although it has no official status, it can still receive the imperial salary."

The people in the Du Mansion looked shocked. They must have heard it right.

Madam actually serves as a female student’s tutor?

When Du Hongfei heard what the chamberlain said, his whole body felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

In his eyes, Mrs. Du is just a short-sighted housewife. How can she be a wife?

"Father-in-law, did you make a mistake?"

Du Hongfei looked at his father-in-law who had finished speaking, and still didn't quite believe what he heard.

Mrs. Du has already received the women's school's exclusive clothing and identity badge, as well as the appointment letter from the imperial court.

Hearing Du Hongfei ask the waiter, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

Her heart was so happy that she never expected that Baozhu could actually convince the emperor to give them the salary of the imperial court. Although they could not participate in the government affairs, they also recognized the existence of their female school in disguise.

These women can finally feel proud.

"Master Du, this is the emperor's oral edict. Do you think this slave dares to falsely pass on the imperial edict?"

The waiter was a little unhappy, shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Then she immediately changed her face and said to Mrs. Du with a smile: "By the way, Mrs. Du, the young master has said it. The girls' school has not yet been established, and the teaching materials need to be revised in advance. The young master chose Dali Temple as the temporary office location. Dali

The temple has made room."

After explaining what Baozhu Rang said, the chamberlain said goodbye and left.

The aunts in the house finally came to their senses.

She looked at Mrs. Du strangely, as if she was hesitant to speak, with envy in her eyes.

Mrs. Du enjoyed the looks and didn't even give Master Du a serious look.

I just said to the housekeeper's aunt: "I will be very busy starting from tomorrow. I will bother you with household affairs. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the master. After all, the master is idle at home."

After saying that, he glanced at Du Hongfei vaguely and left.

Du Hongfei and the others were left where they were. Several staff members could not say anything after seeing this. After all, it was Du Hongfei who was most embarrassed.

The other concubines also dared not breathe.

These days are not easy for them at all. The madam and the master are fighting, and they are the ones who suffer.

The housekeeper's aunt was the most frustrated. Before the housekeeper, she had always wanted to get her hands on the housekeeper's rights, but she didn't realize it until she became the real housekeeper.

In this home, money is spent both inside and outside.

Du Hongfei's salary was simply not enough to support a large family. In the past, it was Mrs. Du's good business skills and generous dowry that kept life in the house as normal.

Now that she is her housekeeper, she finds that there are problems everywhere, but everything requires money. She is just a concubine, her family background is not prominent, and she is not as rich as Mrs. Du's natal family.

All expenses in the house have been reduced, and the concubines, ladies and gentlemen, and even the servants in the house are complaining.

If she had known this, she would not be greedy for power and take over this hot potato.

"Why are you still standing here? What? You also want to go out to work like my wife?"

The others immediately closed their mouths and muttered in their hearts.

Of course they would be happy if it was possible, but it's a pity that they don't have the ability to be a wife.

Not to mention being taken seriously by female gentlemen.

I can only stay in the back house and compete with a large group of women for favor.

But since Madam is no longer in the house, they are no longer interested in competing for favor.

…

The first palace banquet held by the queen, the officials and wives of the court had been secretly inquiring about the news. This banquet seemed ordinary, but it was actually for Lalang, a descendant of the Jiang family.

The Jiang family has been farmers for generations. Because of Jiang Yingxiong, the people in Jiangjia Village were suddenly raised several levels and became relatives of the emperor.

The aristocratic family disdains marriage, but it does not prevent concubines from marrying children of the Jiang family.

To put it mildly, you are related to the emperor after all. Even if you are a idiot, with the title of imperial relative, others will give you a little less favor when doing business.
