The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei was confident that her makeup skills could conceal her identity and she was not worried at all about being exposed.

Xuanyuan Yuqing and Xuanyuan Li were in trouble.

They are relatively easy to identify, especially Xuanyuan Li, the King of Beiqiu.

The citizens of the city were in panic, as they believed that Xuanyuan Yuqing was responsible for the stabbing of Princess Nanqi. The monarch of Nanqi had already ordered an attack on Beiqiu. Ten o'clock north of the south of the city was the border between Beiqiu and Daqian.

The people are shaped by the land and water they live in. The people on the border side are slightly smaller than those in other areas, making them easier to break through in the eyes of the enemy.

If it is true that Nanqi is sending troops, there is no time to lose.

Hu Luanfei pointed at the carriage and said, "It's filled with Nanqi specialties. You can squeeze in somewhere and maybe you won't be discovered."

Since he said "you guys", Hu Luanfei's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Xuanyuan Li was still hoping that Hu Luanfei would look at him, but Hu Luanfei looked like he didn't want to be pushed around and opened his mouth again: "Hurry up, or I'll really leave if you keep nagging me."

The sound of soldiers patrolling nearby shattered the morning tranquility. Xuanyuan Li stopped being pretentious and opened the small door of the carriage. There was a small passage in front of the door, and the rest of the space was filled with wooden boxes of various colors.

After the two men hid inside, Hu Luanfei blocked the passage with another wooden box and then locked the small door.

Princess Nanqi was suddenly stabbed to death. Every household across the country was hung with white gauze. Common people who left the city also wore a small white flower on their heads, just like the families of high-ranking officials in the palace and the royal palace. The men tied white cloth strips on their arms to mourn the death of Princess Nanqi.

Hu Luan's carriage stopped at the city gate. Soldiers came with portraits for comparison and then asked to see the interior of the carriage.

She was not panicked at all, explaining that the carriage was full of specialties from Nanqi. The soldiers suspected that she was harboring criminals and indicated that they wanted to open the box for inspection.

Hu Luanfei was not afraid and let them open the box. The box was full of seeds of elephant valley flowers, which were specialties of Nanqi State.

Nanqi has an unwritten rule that any customer who purchases more than a certain amount of elephant grain seeds is considered a top person in Nanqi.

The soldiers cleared the wooden boxes in the carriage without opening them one by one, closed the door of the carriage, and immediately let Hu Luanfei pass.

After leaving the city gate, Hu Luanfei drove quickly, completely away from the State of Nanqi.

Xuanyuan Yuqing and Xuanyuan Li also climbed out of the carriage. Hu Luanfei didn't know the way, so he called Xuanyuan Yuqing to discuss the route.

After three hours of travel, the three finally arrived in Beiqiu.

Hu Luanfei only sent the two to Baishan Hall and prepared to leave.

Xuanyuan Li suddenly called her, "Come to the palace often when you have time..."

"Are you looking for death?" Hu Luanfei said angrily, "That place can't even protect a concubine, how dare I set foot there easily."

After saying this, he drove the carriage towards Zuihualou.

Zuihualou has not been in the mood to focus on his career these days, as he has been busy working on her affairs.

It was not until she stepped into Zuihua Tower that she learned that Jiang Shi and his group had quietly sneaked into Nanqi Kingdom.

Because Hu Luanfei was not as weak and incompetent as ordinary women, she avoided the danger and returned to Beiqiu early, but passed by them.

"Master, you just came back. Go back and rest for a while. I'll take care of you here."

Inside Zuihua Tower, Yun Xuxu looked at Hu Luanfei with some worry.

She had just escaped from Nanqi, and should have taken a nice hot bath and then returned to her room to rest. But she was worried about the operation of Zuihualou in the past few days.

Hu Luanfei sighed, "It's my fault for being nosy and causing trouble for everyone."

"We are a family, so let's not talk about being distant. Jiang Wu said that we were supposed to serve you, but we are incompetent. You have to pay for everything, work hard, and come up with strategies. Now that there is no one in charge of Zuihualou, the customer flow is not as good as before."

The expenses on the account are not small, but the income has not increased.

Yun Xuxu said: "Because it is winter, the fruits and vegetables in Beiqiu are particularly expensive. We couldn't bargain for them when we bought them, so we suffered a lot of losses."

Hu Luanfei smiled bitterly: "Beiqiu relies on its abundance of goods and has been raising prices for us outsiders for a long time."

"Maybe it's because Jiang Wu is not here. Many customers can taste the difference in the flavor and gradually stop coming." Yun Xuxu whispered, and seemed to feel something was wrong. She explained anxiously: "I don't want Jiang Wu to come back, it's just..."

"I know." Hu Luanfei closed the account book, took out a square wooden box from the package and opened it. It was full of jewelry. She took out one of the prettier pearl flowers and carefully inserted it into Yun Xuxu's bun, smiling and saying, "You have worked hard these days. I don't have much to give you. I bought a few popular local jewelry while I was escaping. I hope you don't mind."

Yun Xuxu was flattered, "I'm not really suitable..."

"It's okay. It looks good. Jiang Wu will definitely like it." Hu Luanfei put the wooden box back into the package. The remaining jewelry would be distributed to other female relatives. She looked around Zuihualou. The atmosphere of fireworks was much lighter than usual.

"Do you know where they are staying? Write them a letter, telling them that I have returned safely, and ask them not to stay in Nanqi anymore."

Qiu Xu is now at home taking care of his pregnant wife, and Zuihualou cannot do without Jiang Wu's help to run the business.

Yun Xuxu said, "Jiang Wu wrote to say that because Nanqi is at war with Beiqiu, it may affect the cities north of the south of the city, and they have already gone to provide support."

They were all soldiers led by Qi Siriao, and they were quite proficient in fighting.

What Hu Luanfei was worried about was that the troops stationed north of the south of the city were new officers who might make things difficult for them.

"Well, if that's the case, we can only wait and hope that they are safe."

Yun Xuxu said "hmm" and started to prepare ingredients for the day at Zuihualou.

Hu Luanfei suddenly remembered that there were several large boxes of elephant grain seeds in the carriage, so he quickly got up and went towards the carriage.

Recently, there was a heavy snowfall in the north. The carriage had been in the yard for only half an hour when a thin layer of white snow covered the top.

She put all the things in the carriage into the space, and as soon as the thought came to her mind, the carriage was empty.

The fruits and vegetables in the space have been harvested and are piled full in the warehouse. Fortunately, there is a vending machine to help sell them to Liu Ruofeng, otherwise they would have to be piled outside.

"Xuxu, ask a few people to move the goods from the carriage in the backyard." Jiang Wu is not here, and now she is the only one in charge of Zuihualou.

But she was a little tired and wanted to sleep, so after arranging other things, she returned to the room in the Plum Garden to rest for a while.

The window was open, and the wind brought in snow, feeling cool on my face.

Hu Luanfei leaned against the head of the bed, looking at the plum trees outside the yard, his mind wandering.

Ever since he knew that his mother was Concubine Hu of King Beiqiu, whenever he was alone, he would always think of what his mother had said.

"Luan Fei, promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"When you grow up, you must never enter the palace."

"Mother, we are so poor now, is there still a chance for us to enter the palace?"

Ah Niang smiled bitterly, "Others may not have it, but Luan Fei will. You have to promise Ah Niang that you will not step into the palace, and you will not become a princess or a concubine. You must stay as far away from her as possible, understand?"

Hu Luanfei was confused at the time and asked, "What if I accidentally entered the palace?"

Ah Niang frowned, and suddenly became more angry, "Then you should be cautious and sit on the highest position of power."
