The White-haired Queen

After measuring the land, everyone left.

When Wen Lanyue returned to the bank, Lin Yuanzhi had been waiting for a long time.

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Owner, I asked someone to go to the East City of Beijing to evaluate and measure today. If it is confirmed, we will start construction in the next few days."

Wen Lanyue said, "Well, just do it with confidence and hurry up, but the project must be done well. The concubines in the harem are looking forward to it."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Okay, then I'll check the date and start the work."

Wen Lanyue said, "Yes, sure. We are also planning to build a medical school in the south of the capital. I just went there and measured the land. The main problem right now is that there is a garbage dump that needs to be cleaned up, and the location is not far from the slums."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "No problem, these are all small matters, I will take care of them when it is decided."

Wen Lanyue said, "When you are free, go over there and take a look. I will also give you a design drawing of the medical school. Laboratories and libraries are indispensable for medical schools. Medical schools in Beijing also need to consider local students, so accommodation and canteens must be planned. It may take me a few days to finish the drawings."

Lin Yuanzhi said, "Well, okay, don't rush. We need to think long-term and comprehensively when building a medical school."

Wen Lanyue said: "In addition to the medical school, I also want to improve the earthen kang."

Lin Yuanzhi asked: "Why did the host think of improving the earthen kang? Is it because the kang in the palace is not warm enough?"

Wen Lanyue said: "The kang in the palace is quite good. It's autumn now, and winter will come in a blink of an eye. When the weather gets cold, what ordinary people need most is a warm kang."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Yes, that's right. Northerners can't live without a kang in winter."

Wen Lanyue said: "Before improving the kang, we need to produce some bricks, cement and other things first. These materials can be used to make kangs and build houses."

After saying that, Wen Lanyue took out the formula, production process and testing instructions of bricks and cement.

Lin Yuanzhi asked: "Will you also arrange it for Lao Mo?"

Wen Lanyue said: "I'm afraid he's too busy, are there any other candidates?"

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Then we need to train them again."

Wen Lanyue said: "Then let's assign it to Pavilion Master Mo, and let him recruit soldiers and expand the scale of their pavilion."

Lin Yuanzhi said, "Okay." Then he asked with concern, "Do you have any good countermeasures for the marriage proposal of the Northern Cang Kingdom?"

Wen Lanyue said: "What good countermeasures can we have? Since we are here, we should just make the best of it."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Beiming Yu is already on his way to the capital, how about we give him a surprise on the way?"

Wen Lanyue said: "Do you mean accidental delay or accidental death?"

Lin Yuanzhi said: "If you want to eliminate future troubles and solve the problem once and for all, it is better to die unexpectedly."

Wen Lanyue said: "Aren't you afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?"

Lin Yuanzhi emphasized, "I already said it was an accident." Then he took out a map from Beicang to Shangxie, pointed to the border between the two countries, and said, "We can quietly send people to the border of Beicang to act."

Wen Lanyue said: "The truth will come to light eventually. Don't take the risk. I will find a way to make him give up. Even if I can't do it, I think the Regent or the Emperor will find a way."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "If we don't take action today or tomorrow, he will leave the Northern Cang Kingdom, and then we won't have a chance to take action. OP, you should think about it."

Wen Lanyue said, "Let's just leave it at that. We should make the best of it. I will definitely find a way to make him give up. Love matters must be consensual. It takes two to tango."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "I am afraid that he will cause trouble to the host."

Wen Lanyue said: "It's not appropriate to let someone die just to avoid upsetting me."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "Since the host insists, we will listen to you."

Wen Lanyue said: "Well, this is not urgent. The most urgent thing is how to produce cement and bricks. With these two, I think we will be able to make a lot of money."

Wen Lanyue's eyes sparkled when she talked about making money, and she added, "Especially cement, which can be used to build bridges, roads, and buildings. Its uses and benefits are endless."

Lin Yuanzhi said: "I understand. I will contact Lao Mo right away."

Wen Lanyue said, "Okay. Then I will go back to the palace first and will not come out tomorrow. If you have anything to say, please send me a message and I will come out later."

As soon as Wen Lanyue returned to Shengde Palace, Bilian came to greet her and said, "Grand Concubine Zhang sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting you to Yongshou Palace to appreciate chrysanthemums tomorrow morning."

Wen Lanyue: "Okay, remember to remind me tomorrow morning. By the way, I will go to the emperor's place this afternoon. What does the emperor like to eat? Please prepare some for me."

Bilian said, "The emperor usually likes to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake. By the way, as long as your majesty likes it, he said he likes it too."

Wen Lanyue said, "Oh, then let's prepare some osmanthus cake." Wen Lanyue thought about it again and felt that eating osmanthus cake was nothing new. The little emperor had a cough recently, so why not make some autumn pear paste for him.

So Wen Lanyue asked Bilian again: "Can the cooks make autumn pear paste?"

Bilian said, "Yes, just tell me if you need anything."

Wen Lanyue said, "Make some sweet-scented osmanthus cake and boil some autumn pear paste. When I went there yesterday, the emperor had a slight cough."

Bilian said, "Okay, then I'll let them cook a little longer so that the Queen Mother can drink some when the time comes."

Wen Lanyue said: "Okay, you can arrange it."

At noon, Wen Lanyue prepared to lie down on the chaise longue and take a nap.

In autumn, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and there are no flies or mosquitoes to bother you. It is the best time of the year to sleep.

Wen Lanyue originally planned to take a nap, but when she woke up it was already four o'clock. On the table next to the chaise longue, Bilian had already placed the food box, and even thoughtfully pinned a sprig of osmanthus on the lid of the food box.

When Wen Lanyue woke up, the first thing she smelled was the sweet fragrance of osmanthus filling the room. It was faint, natural and pure, and immediately made her feel relaxed and happy.

Wen Lanyue took a sip of water, then picked up the food box and walked towards the little emperor's study.

Since most of the concubines were dismissed, the number of palace maids and eunuchs has decreased accordingly. Along the way, Wen Lanyue didn't meet a single person.

Although there was no one along the way, the flowers and plants were well-maintained. Although it was autumn and the grass and trees were a little withered, there were no yellow and dead leaves flying in the wind on the ground. It was obvious that someone was taking care of them.
