Not long after, Emperor Qianlong was put in charge of Concubine Gao's family affairs.

Concubine Gao's younger brother has now gone to the far northwest to serve as a county magistrate, and a man has been sent to follow him to monitor him.

When he manages the place well, he will come back. If he fails to manage it well, he will stay there.

Yu Sui's white piece landed on the chessboard: "Your Majesty, aren't you letting him harm the local people?"

"No, I have arranged for someone to watch him, mainly to let the advisor do the work. He is just sent there to suffer a little, and I will call him back when he has suffered enough." Qianlong did not really ask him to be an official to the people, but arranged for someone who really could be in charge to go there.

Yu Suisui: "That person is just making wedding dresses for others." How can he get promoted if this fame is given to others?

Qianlong: "I am that kind of person. After a few years, when the governance over there is good, I will naturally promote him and will not put him aside."

Concubine Gao’s brother is an easy matter to handle, but we also have to consider Concubine Gao and Yue Heng.

Yu Suisui didn't say much after asking this question. He just defeated Qianlong without leaving a single piece of armor.

Of course, he didn't win, but he manually moved Qianlong's chess piece.

Qianlong laughed and looked at Yu Suisui, "You are still a lousy chess player!"

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was the Spring Festival of the following year. Yu Suisui was called by the Empress Dowager to Changchun Garden, where he unexpectedly met the protagonist of the previous story - the female businessman.

The reason why this female businessman can successfully disguise herself as a man is that she is really tall, and it seems that she is about 1.8 meters tall.

If she stood next to someone at this height, some would suspect that she was a woman.

The Empress Dowager looked at her. She was tall and strong, with a darker complexion than the average girl, but her eyes were clear and she seemed like a good child.

"I, a commoner Ma Yi, pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and to the Imperial Concubine Ling." Ma Yi lifted the corner of her robe and prepared to kneel on the ground.

Aunt Gao hurriedly supported her and said, "Princess, you are doing this wrong." This is how men greet each other, but when women greet each other, the squatting gesture is enough, except during festivals.

Ma Yi smiled awkwardly, and then immediately made an awkward greeting gesture.

"No need to bow, stand up and talk." The Empress Dowager looked at the girl and couldn't find anything bad to say.

Her third sister brought her into the palace to express gratitude, but the emperor couldn't see her. But wasn't she curious?

Now it’s even.

Ma Yi was a little nervous. She had never thought before that her life experience would be so tortuous and bizarre. The home she thought was was not her home. She turned out to be an illegitimate daughter born after her parents separated them.

My own biological mother never told me about it, and now I have found her.

She also didn't know whether her mother would blame her when they met in the afterlife.

"I heard that you have been doing business on your own since you were fourteen. You are a brave and courageous girl." The Queen Mother praised sincerely. She thought Ma Yi was really amazing.

Ma Yi replied, "In answer to the Empress Dowager, I was forced to do so, so I disguised myself as a man and went into business." Actually, it was not that. When she heard that her father wanted to give all the family business to the brothers born to the concubines, she felt that she should have a share.

But her father was unwilling and insisted on starting to train her younger brother. As a result, her younger brother went out with her father and never came back.

She became an only child, and her father was also sad and gone.

Her family business couldn't fall into the hands of any uncles or aunts, so she could only take it herself.

The Queen Mother: "No matter what it started out like, you did something amazing. You saved your family business and yourself."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for the compliment!" Ma Yi replied. She then glanced at the woman next to her who was her biological father's current wife, the Empress Dowager's sister.

She felt that Aunt Niu Hulu was a good person, and they had no relationship originally. But after hearing that she was going to be forced to marry by the Gao family, she immediately brought people from Niu Hulu's house to attack her.

Then he slapped the young master of the Gao family twice.

She was stunned at the time. Is it really possible to fight?

Yu Suisui looked at her and felt that she was more like the protagonist than Na Zhen. But was there a possibility that the novel she entered this time was a fusion version?

The Queen Mother's sister smiled and said, "Sister, you don't know, this girl is amazing. Her family was originally just a merchant with a little money, but now under her management, this has become a well-known local business."

However, she recognized Ma Yi not because of this, but because she really felt that Ma Yi was unyielding, neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke openly and honestly.

\"That's quite impressive." The Queen Mother nodded. This woman not only supported the family business, but also made it bigger.

Ma Yi blushed a little when being praised in person, and lowered his head slightly.

Yu Suisui looked at her and asked, "I still don't know what your name is, young lady?" Such a woman should be recorded with a name.

Ma Yi looked at Yu Suisui, then at the empress dowager and Niuhulu, "My original surname was Ma. Later, after I returned home, I also took the surname Ma, and my given name is Yi. The Yi means wing." Ma Yi emphasized the last few words.

Her name was given by her mother. Her father originally wanted to name her Yi, saying that it was a good omen for a girl to be suitable for marriage and family.

Her mother didn't want to, so she changed her name to Yi, the "Yi" in "wing", saying that she hoped she would be able to fly in the future.

She was flying, but her mother couldn't see her.

"What a good name! The phoenix spreads its wings to carry the flag and soars high in the sky." Yu Suisui thought of this poem. It might not be so appropriate, but she thought that the woman who named her daughter Yi might want her daughter to grow wings and fly away.

When Ma Yi heard this, her eyes immediately brightened up. Her mother said that she was given the name Yi because she heard the line: "My ambition is not to be compared with yours, I will spread my wings and fly high."

Although her mother had not received much education, she could write this poem very well.

"Your Highness, your Highness, is very kind."

When the Empress Dowager saw Ma Yi, she found that although he spoke carefully, he was not timid, and he was generous in his actions and answered questions directly. So she began to like him a little.

Niuhulu was also happy. She felt that Ma Yi was different from other women. She had a vitality similar to hers.

The Empress Dowager invited Ma Yi to have lunch with her and gave him many gifts.

Concubine Gao came over with her child, paid her respects to the Empress Dowager first, and then asked her aunt beside her to deliver the brocade box on the tray to Ma Yi.

"Miss Ma, I failed to discipline my family members and caused you to suffer. I'm sorry for that." Concubine Gao's apology was sincere. She couldn't imagine forcing a young girl to be a concubine.
