Traveling through ancient times, the empress insisted on having a child with me

Ling Chuan had no idea that this Madam Li was the Queen Mother, and many people in Yunfuji shop knew her.

The Queen Mother came for two or three days in a row and had already asked Ling Chuan about his background clearly. The matchmaking she mentioned before leaving was just a test.

When Xiao Taohong and others saw Ling Chuan complaining, they dared not agree with him and could not explain, so they could only pretend to work and walk away.

After the empress dowager returned to the palace, she did not go to the Cining Palace, but to the Qianqing Palace.

This was the first time the Empress Dowager had come to the Qianqing Palace since Lu Xi ascended the throne. Lu Xi was so excited that he was at a loss for a moment and could only quickly pay his respects.

The Queen Mother walked around the Qianqing Palace and sighed quietly, "It's been three years, and the layout here hasn't changed at all."

"All the furnishings here were arranged by my father. I keep them the same so that I can always remember him."

The Queen Mother couldn't help showing a look of sadness on her face, and tears were welling up in her eyes. Lu Xi quickly helped her sit down aside and told Wei Dongxian to serve tea and snacks.

It was not until she drank a cup of tea that the Queen Mother calmed down a little: "Mother came here today to tell you something."

"Mother, please speak."

"Mom went to three alleys today."

Lu Xi was startled and felt a little uneasy.

The Queen Mother continued, "In fact, I have been there three times in a row. Today I just saw the boy named Ling. I have seen him and he is quite a handsome man."

A blush appeared on Lu Xi's face, and she lowered her head shyly.

"My daughter, there is no need to be shy. This man is not bad looking, but his character needs to be examined."

Lu Xi asked quickly, "How does the Queen Mother plan to investigate?"

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "Why? Are you still planning to tip off the person?"

Lu Xi's thoughts were exposed by this sentence, and she immediately refuted: "No, how could my daughter do that?"

The Queen Mother snorted softly, "No one knows a daughter better than her mother. You and he are already husband and wife. I'm afraid your heart has long been attached to him. You must know that you are the ruler of a country. You must not neglect state affairs because of your children's personal feelings."

"My daughter doesn't dare."

"It's good that you don't dare. You are not allowed to see him while I am observing him."

"This……"

The Queen Mother cast a stern look at him and said, "You take care of state affairs yourself, but I will take care of the affairs of the harem for you."

Lu Xi lowered her head and said, "My daughter will follow your mother's orders."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction: "Although you are the ruler of a country, you are a woman after all. You must find someone who can share your worries. If this person is really talented and can treat you wholeheartedly, I will support you."

Lu Xi's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. His mother had been chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Cining Palace for three years, and now she had finally come out.

Ling Chuan had no idea that he had been targeted by his mother-in-law, especially when his mother-in-law brought people to his door with a cart of silver the next day, Ling Chuan realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Mrs. Li, what are you doing..."

Looking at the cart full of silver ingots, Ling Chuan quickly thought in his mind that he had not offended anyone during this period of time. Who was this Madam Li? If he had known earlier, he should have asked Lao Cao yesterday.

The Queen Mother said calmly, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to verify my capital? I'm here with the money, right?"

"Mrs. Li, even if you want to cooperate with me, I have to know the identity of the person I want to cooperate with. To be honest, who would dare to cooperate with someone if they don't know their background?"

The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "I knew you would do this, Zhao Youtang, come here."

Ling Chuan was startled, and then he saw Zhao Youtang walking in timidly from the shop door.

"Brother Ling, this is a distant relative of mine. My 40% of shares... all belong to her."

Zhao Youtang was shaking like a quail. He couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager, who had not stepped out of the Cining Palace for three years, blocked the door of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion early in the morning and dragged him out, all for such a trivial matter.

The Earl of Yongning was even more trembling than a sieve, thinking that his son had caused some terrible disaster and even brought trouble to the Queen Mother.

You have to know that the late emperor had been ill for a long time, and many important state affairs were handled by the empress dowager. Although she was not in power, her prestige in the hearts of civil and military officials was not low.

While the Queen Mother was carrying Zhao Youtang in the carriage and giving him a few instructions, Zhao Zecheng was already thinking about where to be buried after his death.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother asked Zhao Youtang to help her before she left, and Zhao Zecheng finally felt relieved.

However, he was still very confused in his heart. How could he not know what kind of person his son was? How could he help the empress dowager?

After hearing what Zhao Youtang said, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Zhao Youtang, how can I covet your shares? What I want is a cooperative status. Manager Ling, now you know me inside out."

Ling Chuan thought to himself, what the hell do I know? Looking at Zhao Youtang's expression, it's obvious that he is threatened by you.

However, someone who can threaten even the second son of the Yongning Marquis's family, Zhao, must have a very high status and may be from a noble family.

What's the saying? If you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy it. Besides, this is giving yourself money.

Someone pays money to open a franchise store and can own 60% of the shares.

Ling Chuan spent an hour explaining the terms of cooperation to Mrs. Li. Finally, after they signed the contract, he respectfully saw Mrs. Li off.

"Brother Zhao, who is this Madam Li?" Ling Chuan asked Zhao Youtang while standing at the door.

Zhao Youtang shook his head repeatedly: "Well, I had to leave in a hurry today, and my father told me to go early and come back early, so I'll take my leave first. I'm sorry, sorry."

……

In Prince Ning's mansion, the butler who had previously dealt with the man in black was reporting intelligence to Prince Ning.

"So, the Xu family's worship of evil gods was done by that eunuch Cao Huanchun?"

The housekeeper said: "To be exact, it was the people from Yunfuji who did it."

"Humph, I knew that idiot Cao Huanchun would be so capable. So, the man behind this can only be that young man named Ling?"

"It's very likely. We know very well how strong those old, weak and sick people in Yunfuji are, and this is not their style."

"Then this person is interesting." Prince Ning frowned and pondered, a tea bowl in his palm flying up and down with the movement of his fingers: "Wu Kun, tell this news to Xu Hongtu, and let the Xu family find out the background of this Ling."

Wu Kun rolled his eyes, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"From this point of view, my niece is planning to restart the East Factory."

Prince Ning paused, and the tea bowl spun around and landed steadily on the table. "Then I will strike first."

"What the prince means is..."

"During the morning court tomorrow, I will propose the matter of restarting the East Factory. Wu Kun, you are also from the Imperial Guards. Can you shoulder this burden?"

Wu Kun immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I will never let your Highness down."
