Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

Leng Ruoxue came out of the palace after dinner.

She didn't even ask Yafei what she needed.

Everything she sent into the palace was delivered to Concubine Ya. The vegetables and fruits she sent were all provided by her. Glass was installed and there were even electric lights.

So, she now has more than one backer.

Lize Palace.

“She seems dissatisfied with my son.”

Yafei is chatting with the nanny.

"Why didn't your Majesty hide the fact that your seclusion was a fake from you?"

Mammy was puzzled.

"If I hide it from her, she won't just ask for a postponement of the wedding. She will think of other ways to cancel the engagement. If she asks the Queen, she will help her as long as there are enough benefits."

"Isn't it too early to decide now? She may not be able to help the Eighth Prince in the future."

The nanny was not very optimistic about Leng Ruoxue. Judging from her background, Leng Ruoxue was not worthy of the Eighth Prince.

"You are still too short-sighted. Not to mention what will happen to Princess Leng in the future, His Majesty is very optimistic about what she is doing now, otherwise he would not have planned to give her to Xiao Ba. If we don't take action, the Queen will also plan to make her the Crown Prince's concubine."

"I actually like this child very much, but she thinks things are too simple. She thinks that with the prince as her backer, she can earn money and save the refugees in her fiefdom."

"She has already attracted the attention of the Queen. When her glass shop opens and the Queen sees the profits, she will definitely find a way to keep her in her hands. Even if we don't catch her, the Emperor will not let her go. Instead of that, it's better to give her to Xiao Ba."

"Now that Xiao Ba has nothing to worry about, the marriage will not be so difficult. Otherwise..."

Ya Fei sighed, "Forget it, let's go for a walk! I'm tired."

The nanny stopped talking and quietly retreated.

Leng Ruoxue returned to the Leng Mansion. Leng Zejin was supervising Leng Yuxuan's studies, and Liu Ruxu was embroidering something.

"Did you have a good day today?"

Liu Ruxu looked at Leng Ruoxue worriedly.

"It went smoothly. The Queen promised me that the wedding date would be postponed until I turned 18."

Leng Ruoxue didn't dare to say that she wanted to resist the marriage. Now her parents would stay in the capital, and she was not completely sure, and she didn't want them to worry.

"The store owner has been waiting for you for a long time. Do you want to go and take a look? If you are tired today, ask him to come back tomorrow."

Leng Zejin is now... the legitimate head of the family.

"Okay, father and mother, you guys should go to bed early. I'll go to the front yard...Shouldn't you guys live in the same yard?"

"You kid!"

Leng Ruoxue successfully livened up the atmosphere.

She knew the shopkeeper was waiting for her outside, but she didn't want her parents to worry, so she decided to come back and tell them first.

After washing her face with cold water and changing out of her cumbersome clothes, Leng Ruoxue went to the front yard.

"Shopkeeper Xin, sorry for the long wait!"

"Thank you for your hard work, County Lord. This is the order we received today."

The shopkeeper showed today's accounts to Leng Ruoxue.

Leng Ruoxue took a quick look and said, "Not bad."

The shopkeeper was ashamed. Even though he earned more than 100,000 taels of silver a day, the county lady didn't seem very satisfied.

All the products that could be sold in the store were sold out early in the morning, about 5 to 6 taels, and the rest were deposits.

"Today's plates, bowls, and other things were all bought by the people brought by Master Nan. A lot of mirrors were also sold. I'm sure there will be more people coming tomorrow. Now there are no more plates and bowls in stock."

Leng Ruoxue thought about it and realized that the glass factory in the space was still on vacation, so they were probably reclaiming some land.

"A batch of goods will arrive in 10 days"

"Okay, the wife of the Duke of Weiguo wants to meet the county lady, probably to buy the two embroidery pieces that are not for sale."

"Have you made it clear that those two embroidery pieces are not for sale?"

Although double-sided embroidery is rare, there are still embroiderers in the capital who can make it.

"I have explained it clearly, but the lady insists on seeing you."

Leng Ruoxue wondered whether she should sell one of her mother's embroidery pieces, but if she did, her mother would probably keep embroidering non-stop, and she didn't want her mother to be tired. Now that she had the conditions, of course she hoped her mother could enjoy life.

The shopkeeper didn't think so. "The Duke of Wei's Mansion, the Duke of An's Mansion, and the Duke of Qin's Mansion are the three major duke's mansions in Qian State. Together with the six mansions of Jiang, Liu, Zhao, Wang, Xiao, and Han, they are collectively known as the Three Dukes and Six Mansions. The capital is almost entirely ruled by the Three Dukes and Six Mansions, with the Duke of Wei's Mansion being the leader."

"The Duke of Weiguo's Mansion began to shrink its power more than a decade ago, and the Duke of Anguo's Mansion came from behind. However, the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion's wife is a lady of the highest rank, and even the emperor has to give her some respect."

"The Duke of Wei's Mansion wouldn't go against a mere county lady like me just because of an embroidery, right?"

Leng Ruoxue knew that she had to give the embroidery to him whether she wanted to or not.

"That's not the case. The Duke of Wei's Mansion has a strict family tradition, but the small families that are dependent on the Duke of Wei's Mansion are hard to say. If nothing else, they are likely to cause some minor troubles."

"Especially those side branches of the Duke's Mansion, they are more troublesome than the main branches."

This is the reason why the shopkeeper insisted on meeting Leng Ruoxue until now.

"I see...Tomorrow you can arrange for someone to deliver the two embroidery pieces together, and then find an embroiderer who can do double-sided embroidery to make a few pieces and hang them up, then mark the prices and sell them. Also, put some canned fruits in the store. Although they are not glass jars, the contents are the same."

Leng Ruoxue decided to sell all the canned fruits except canned strawberries in the glass shop.

This saves her the trouble of looking for a store.

It is also appropriate to consider the commission given to Nangong Yi as rent.

After arranging the matters of the glass shop, Leng Ruoxue was in a daze.

Empress An came from the Anguo Mansion. Now that she is relying on Nangong Yi's power, the Emperor would indeed be worried.

If the Anguo Mansion becomes too powerful, the Emperor will try to control and weaken it.

Ya Fei comes from the Xiao Mansion, which ranks low among the six mansions. Is she tying herself to the Xiao Mansion in order to support the Xiao Mansion?

But in order to support the Xiao family, Concubine Ya should be released from confinement.

And I... have no power, only a few tricks to make money.

Concubine Ya arranged for herself to go to the border in person to deliver something to the Eighth Prince, but it should not be as simple as just delivering something.

The emperor may have some intention behind this.

Secretary Liu, from the Liu Mansion, had a high status among the civil officials and was ranked second among the six mansions.

Under Nangong Yi's instruction, he wanted to go through the Jiang family's route for his father's affairs, but Nangong Yi said that it was not convenient for him to step in...

Before the Jiang family had even started to succeed, the emperor took the initiative to give them this lucrative position.

Therefore, the emperor's favor to his family was actually because he wanted to reduce the close connection between him and Nangong Yi.

Normally, Nangong Yi should have given some hints after such a thing happened, but Nangong Yi has not taken the initiative to talk to me and the Queen did the same when I entered the palace.

What do they mean?

Sure enough, matters involving power are very complicated.

It was annoying. I just wanted the villagers to have enough food to eat, and later I just wanted everyone in Qingyuan County to have enough food to eat.

As a result, they had to focus their energy on political intrigues….
