Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Li Yu and Han Zheng tacitly kept silent about what was said that afternoon.

Including Lu Xuan and Han Xiaomei.

Li Yu didn't intend to hide it from the two of them, but the situation was still unclear, so she wanted to wait until it was confirmed before bringing it up.

*

After King Hui's banquet, the former Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince, now King Cheng and King Kang, also held a banquet. These two were much more low-key than King Hui and only invited some people they were familiar with. They did not send invitations to people they were not familiar with, such as Han Zheng.

Li Yu discussed it with Han Zheng and finally sent over the inkstone they had bought in advance.

Early in the morning of the second day after the three inkstones were delivered, Li Yu handed a letter to Prince An's Mansion, saying that she had important matters to discuss with Princess Jianing and asked if it was convenient for her.

Not long after, she received a reply. Princess Jianing said that she had plenty of time and Li Yu could come over at any time.

Li Yu looked at it, got up and walked to the kitchen.

*

In the afternoon, Li Yu, led by Qingbi, entered the courtyard of Princess Jianing.

Princess Jianing had gotten a cat at some point, and when Li Yu arrived, she was sitting there playing with the cat.

The kitten is snow-white all over, like a snowball, and is so cute when it meows.

Li Yu went over and teased her for a few moments before asking Jianing how the princess was doing these days.

"That's it." Princess Jianing looked gloomy. "My father asked me to go out less recently. It's boring not being able to go out."

Li Yu took out the potato chips, baked cookies and baked sweet potatoes he had made.

*

The oven at home is already usable. It has two layers. The lower layer is for storing firewood, and the upper layer is closed with a small door that can be opened and closed freely.

When baking, light the firewood first, and when the temperature of the upper layer reaches the right level, put the things to be baked in.

However, this traditional oven cannot be compared with the modern timed oven. It has very high requirements on the chef and requires the chef to have precise control of the heat and temperature.

For example, Li Yu made the cookies he brought today three times, and only succeeded on the last try.

Milk was added to the biscuits, giving them a milky flavor. Princess Jianing liked them at the first bite and ate seven or eight pieces in a row before stopping.

"This stuff is good. I'll send some to my mother later." After wiping her mouth, Princess Jianing asked Qingbi to put the things away, and then asked Li Yu why he came.

"I saw in your letter that there was something important. What happened? Did someone cause trouble in the store? If there is any trouble, tell me and I will go and punish that tactless person."

"No." Li Yu stared at Princess Jianing and said softly, "It's my own business, Princess. I want to see the prince."

Princess Jianing was confused: "...Brother Crown Prince?"

"Yes." Li Yu said, "I have something I want to do, but I have to meet the prince, so if the princess goes to the East Palace one day, can I pretend to be Qingbi and go with you?"

Princess Jianing asked, "What do you want to do?"

*

Li Yu did not answer directly, but asked: "Does the princess think the prince is a good person?"

Princess Jianing said without hesitation, "The Crown Prince is naturally good."

"What about King Hui, King Cheng, and King Kang? How do they compare to the crown prince?"

Princess Jianing was silent for a moment, then replied, "They are not as good as my brother, the Crown Prince. So what do you want to do?"

Li Yu curved her lips and said, "Princess, I don't know if what I'm going to say next will scare you, but I hope you can believe that I'm on your side and I won't do anything to let you down."

It had been a long time since she had spoken to him so formally. Princess Jianing sat up straight and said, "I believe you. Go ahead."

Seeing that she was really ready, Li Yu said, "The Prince An's Mansion is now on the side of the Crown Prince. Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that there is a rift between the Crown Prince and Prince An, and Prince An may switch to other princes in the future.

But if the prince is really like what the princess said, then Prince An would not support anyone else. So the rumors outside are either untrue, or Prince An and the prince did it on purpose. "

Princess Jianing said solemnly: "Yes, so what do you mean?"

Li Yu: "I can help the prince do business and earn money."

Princess Jianing stood up and asked, "You?"

Li Yu nodded: "The prince is wise. Although I am an ordinary commoner, I also hope that he can defeat King Hui and become a monarch in the future to benefit the people."

Princess Jianing: "......"

*

In the past few months, the court struggles have never stopped. Although Princess Jianing is a girl, she knows a lot.

Knowing that King Hui's party was ruthless, she had been careful not to involve Li Yu in the court struggles.

She even thought that after her father and the crown prince were done with their drama, she would find an opportunity to have a "big fight" with Li Yu, thereby severing her friendship with him.

In this way, if the Crown Prince fails in the future and King Hui attacks the Eastern Palace and their Prince An's Mansion, Li Yu will have a great chance of survival.

She didn't believe King Hui. He was a petty man who would never let go of Prince An's Mansion, even if her father and the Crown Prince showed signs of breaking up. King Hui would not let Prince An's Mansion go, because Prince An's Mansion had offended him before.

As a result, Li Yu actually wanted to take the initiative to get involved.

*

Princess Jianing was speechless for a long time.

Li Yu held her hand and said, "If the prince wants to defeat King Hui, he needs more silver, and I just like doing business and making money."

"But you are helping others to earn money, so you won't get much." Princess Jianing frowned, "Have you really thought about it? You have to know that once you make a move, you will put yourself in danger."

Li Yu: "In fact, I have considered the risks of doing this a long time ago. The fact that I can stand here and say those words to you just now shows that I have considered it completely."

Princess Jianing: "...Brother Crown Prince will definitely be very grateful for your help."

*

Because Princess Jianing was going to the Eastern Palace to perform a play in two days, the two decided to meet the prince two days later.

"This matter is of great importance. I would like to talk to my mother and father first, and then let my father and the crown prince know about it."

Li Yu: "Princess, just do what you want. I'll be waiting for your reply at home."

Princess Jianing nodded heavily.

The two chatted for quite a while, and it was already the end of the Shen time (a little after four in the afternoon) when they finished talking. Li Yu wanted to have dinner at home that night, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Princess Jianing stopped her and said, "There are spies from Prince Hui outside the palace, so be careful."

Li Yu: "I understand."

*

At this time, outside the mansion.

King Hui's spy disguised himself as a beggar, hiding in the corner and staring at the side door of King An's mansion.

One of them asked, "That Li guy has been at Prince An's mansion for an hour and a half, why hasn't he come out yet?"

Another said, "Why do you care about her? She will die anyway. When our prince takes the throne, all those people in Prince An's Mansion will die."

Another person agreed, "It's a pity for her cooking. I've tried Lai Kee Hotpot before and it tasted really good.

In fact, if our prince wins in the future, we can bring her to the palace to be a cook."

"How can she be a cook? She looks pretty good. Let's... hehe..."

Li Yu went out of the side door and inadvertently saw the obscene smiles on the faces of the two eyeliners. He decided to go back and start writing a business plan.

*

At night, Prince An’s Mansion.

After hearing Princess Jianing's words about Li Yu's plan, Prince An accidentally broke the wine glass.
