From a freeloader to a world leader

Queen Qian Ruyu set out on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. She planned to arrive in Hengzhou ten days later and cut the ribbon on behalf of the royal family for the completed Hengzhou Bridge.

Her trip this time was relatively simple, and she rode in the supreme royal carriage that Sun Shan specially built for Emperor Yuanfeng.

He only brought Kewei and about 100 soldiers and eunuchs dressed in martial arts style.

She was acting secretly as a counselor of the Royal Foundation, and no one knew about it except Emperor Yuanfeng and several elders of the royal family.

In addition, her mother's family, the Qian family of Qianjiang, also secretly sent a number of experts to protect Qian Ruyu and her daughter.

The Qian family is an ancient family. Although not as old as the Confucius family and the Mohist family, it was quite famous during the Jin Dynasty five or six hundred years ago.

Their family, just like their surname, has always cared about and attached great importance to the control of money and wealth, and the operation of business.

However, when Sun Shan began to rise, people paid attention to the existence of Sun Shan and Datong Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, when Sun Shan auctioned his shares at the end of last year, he spent a large sum of money to grab a considerable portion of the shares.

Then, after another year of operation, the Qian family invested five to six million silver coins in Hengzhou Wharf and water transportation.

It became another important new force in Hengzhou after the Yue family and the Mo family.

Therefore, they attached great importance to Queen Qian Ruyu and the princess's trip to Hengzhou again this time.

It is believed that this move is the best opportunity to determine the deep integration of the Qian family and Datong Chamber of Commerce.

If, if they knew, the daughter of their Qian family, the Queen of the Empire, Qian Ruyu, actually made this trip with the intention of meeting her lover.

I’m afraid that I’ll just pretend not to know.

"Ke Xin, today we are just mother and daughter here. Tell your mother what you think. There should be no one in the world who loves you more than me."

Qian Ruyu took a look and saw that she had been neither distant nor close to her daughter since she came back from Hengzhou. She planned to take advantage of the opportunity when the mother and daughter were traveling far away to open their hearts to each other.

"Mother-----"

When Yang Kewei heard her mother say this, the tension in her heart relaxed a little.

She looked up and saw a face that looked 70% similar to hers, but not much bigger. She pouted and said, "What can I think? My daughter's fate is in the hands of my father, the emperor, my mother, and those ministers. I don't want to go to the wilderness. Can you agree?"

"Do you think that your father and your mother are such heartless people? As long as there is a way, your mother would like to stay with you every day and satisfy all your wishes."

Hearing her mother say this, Yang Kewei couldn't help but sneered: "That's fine, I want to be with Zhongshan. If you love me, please persuade my father to let Zhongshan be my consort. I promise that I will be 100% obedient in the future."

After she finished expressing her wish, Yang Kewei couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I'm afraid it's some people. Think about it yourself. I seem to have heard her calling Zhongshan's name one day."

Qian Ruyu blushed at these words. She reached out and pinched Yang Kewei's ear, then pulled her over and slapped her already not-so-small butt.

"How can you say that to a kiss? Is it easy for me to be pregnant with you for ten months?"

Qian Ruyu glared at her daughter angrily, "So what if I like Zhongshan? What woman wouldn't like a man like him? I'm not competing with you for a man. I just want to take a look at him. Is that not okay?"

After hearing Qian Ruyu's blatant admission, she fell in love with Sun Shan.

This made Yang Kewei open her mouth in surprise. After saying "you" twice, she didn't know what to say.

"What do you mean, Kewei, let me tell you, a man like Sun Shan will definitely have another woman in the future. Let's not talk about others first, do you think you can compete with Ke Xin? The Hengwang Mansion has given Sun Shan a lot of women, and now he has several children."

"There aren't many women yet. I can also have maids serve Zhongshan, as if no one has them."

"Humph!"

Qian Ruyu snorted coldly and glanced at her naive daughter: "Do you think Zhongshan is such a casual person? It seems that there is no one more in this year?"

"I like that kind of tune. Mother heard that the woman in the Red Mansion got pregnant."

"Are you talking about Xie?"

Yang Kewei asked in surprise, and said incredulously: "She is already 40 years old, can she still have a child?"

"Why can't she give birth? As long as the seeds are good, I think her soil is quite fertile!" Qian Ruyu smacked her lips enviously, and then taught her daughter: "Once a woman gives birth to a man's child, the feeling will be different. Even if you are with Zhongshan in the future, you must learn how to win a man's heart."

Hearing this, Yang Kewei was very unconvinced: "As a princess of the empire, do I need to compete with a prostitute?"

Qian Ruyu slapped Yang Kewei on the head after hearing this and said, "Are you stupid? If you dare to say this in front of Zhongshan in the future, or if it reaches Zhongshan's ears, you will suffer the consequences. Zhongshan is not like other men in the world. He was able to grow from a poor scholar to such a level. His future progress is unimaginable!"

Yang Kewei believed this.

Because her father, Emperor Yuanfeng, would occasionally tell her about some things about Datong Chamber of Commerce and Sun Shan.

The Datong Chamber of Commerce has now become a monster of the empire.

With the support of the royal family, the current assets have expanded to more than 100 million taels of silver, and are still expanding rapidly.

This caused the value of the Royal Fund, which owned 80% of Datong's shares, to also increase, making Emperor Yuanfeng's life too stressful.

However, the senior officials in the court gradually formed three major will forms.

One is the opposition led by the Wang family, who believe that the Datong Chamber of Commerce is so large that it must be effectively controlled and it would be best if it were nationalized.

One group is the supporters who saw the vitality of Hengzhou and benefited from it after Li Shimin and Lu Jinxi went there.

It is believed that Datong Chamber of Commerce has made outstanding contributions to Hengzhou and the empire and deserves continued support and growth.

In October alone, the taxes voluntarily paid to Hengzhou Prefecture amounted to 150,000 taels of silver, which was close to the tax collection level of the imperial capital with a population of one million.

There are also so-called centrists who are trying to get in on the action and get a piece of the pie.

"I'm just talking to you. I'm not a fool."

Yang Kewei muttered, looked at her belly where she had grown, and asked, "Can you still have children? What should I call him then?"

Qian Ruyu was so embarrassed by these words that her pretty face turned red.

He pinched Yang Kewei's protruding snowball and said, "Silly child, you can really say anything. What is the status of your mother? Can you get pregnant randomly?"

Yang Kewei was suddenly caught in the vitals and fell limply on Qian Ruyu's body, panting and calling out, "Mother, why are you the same as that bad guy Zhongshan? I can't stand it anymore."

Hearing Yang Kewei say this and seeing her lustful look, Qian Ruyu tentatively kneaded her a few times: "Zhongshan, is it the same?"

Yang Kewei, who hadn't been touched for more than half a year, suddenly felt her body burning with heat when she recalled the time she had been with that bad guy, Sun Shan.

"I used much more force than you did, and it was more comfortable than you did."

Yang Kewei's humming sound made Qian Ruyu feel hot. The long journey was a good opportunity to cultivate and deepen communication.

As Qian Ruyu's technique and strength increased, Qian Ruyu's other hand repeatedly stroked Sun Shan's favorite entrance.

Yang Kewei's hands began to knead Qian Ruyu's body randomly.

Then, after a while, the two of them hugged each other and kissed each other.
