The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Ruan Shuhuan left some words and turned to leave.

Ruan Shuyan looked at her figure and frowned unconsciously. Ruan Shuhuan's reminder clearly showed that she was ready to watch the show.

Miss Lin, it looks like something went wrong with Princess Duan.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Chuntao asked from the side.

Ruan Shuyan retracted her thoughts: "It's okay, let's go out for a walk."

The two of them walked out of the palace banquet venue, and after walking a few steps, Ruan Shuyan saw two figures.

She wanted to go around, but the two figures suddenly turned around. They were the Thirteenth Princess Nalan Jinxiu and the Seventh Princess of Qi.

"Your Majesty greets the two princesses." Ruan Shuyan took the initiative to salute.

Nalan Jinxiu asked, "Why are you here?"

"I feel bored inside, so I came out for a walk."

Nalan Jinxiu snorted coldly: "You are talking nonsense."

Ruan Shuyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do you say that, Your Highness?"

"You are not a honest person, and you are a businessman. Who knows what you really think?"

Nalan Jinxiu looked disdainful and turned around to pull the Seventh Princess away.

However, the Seventh Princess did not move, her eyes fixed on Ruan Shuyan. Her calm yet sinister look made Ruan Shuyan's heart skip a beat and she felt a little helpless.

The Seventh Princess still holds a grudge against her and the Xie family.

Nalan Jinxiu also realized that something was wrong and turned her eyes away: "Xue'er, you..."

The Seventh Princess retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go."

After that, she turned and left.

Seeing this, Nalan Jinxiu hurriedly chased after him: "Wait for me."

The wind blew and the surroundings fell into silence.

Ruan Shuyan tidied up her messy hair and stayed outside for a while before returning to the palace where the banquet was held.

As soon as I sat down, I noticed that everyone around me had a strange look on their face.

problem occurs?

Three words flashed through Ruan Shuyan's mind. Just as she was about to ask, one of the women took the initiative to speak: "Where did Madam Xie go just now?"

"Just get some fresh air outside, but is there a problem?"

"A body was found in the harem just now."

As he was speaking, a group of imperial guards entered the palace, and the young man in the lead said, "Something has happened in the palace. Please cooperate with my imperial guards in the inquiry, sirs, ladies, and young ladies. Please rest assured that those who are not in trouble will be sent out of the palace immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present understood what was going on.

Soon, the questioning began.

Ruan Shuyan was watching when suddenly someone appeared beside her.

Xie Yuchun said, "Follow me to the imperial study."

"it is good."

Royal study room.

As soon as Ruan Shuyan stepped into the door, she saw several ministers inside and stopped in her tracks.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Xie Yuchun spoke, and his slightly raised voice reminded Ruan Shuyan.

"My wife is here to see the Emperor."

The emperor nodded and said, "I asked you two to come here because of the matter in North City."

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyebrows and said: "But what went wrong in North City?"

Before the emperor could speak, a minister beside him said, "No problem, I just want to ask Madam Xie about the arrangements for North City."

As soon as Ruan Shuyan heard this, she knew that they wanted to intervene. Even though she was now married to Xie Yuchun, she had no right to refute the emperor.

"Regarding North City, I have no plans. Your Majesty has the final say."

Across the imperial desk, the emperor's smile deepened a little: "As expected of a member of the Ruan family, you, like your mother, are both people who understand justice."

Ruan Shuyan said humbly: "The emperor is good at governing the country, and we have benefited from his glory, so it is what we deserve."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The emperor laughed loudly, pointed at Ruan Shuyan, and then said, "I am not the kind of person who would let the people suffer. I will allow you to take half of the shop in the north city."

Ruan Shuyan bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace, but..."

She looked embarrassed, and the emperor leaned forward slightly: "Just what?"

"In order to renovate North City, I promised the people of North City that as long as they were willing, the Ruan family would help them do business. When the profit was enough, the business and the shop would all belong to them."

Having said this, Ruan Shuyan paused.

"I wonder what the emperor thinks about this matter?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Ruan Shuyan looked humble, polite and respectful, but in fact she had quite a few calculations.

But he happened to own half of the shops in North City, so it was not easy for him to push this matter to her.

"I will never make things difficult for a loyal person, so just go from the court side."

Ruan Shuyan pretended to be grateful and knelt down to salute: "Your Majesty, I thank you."

"Get up, we have finished talking about Beicheng, go wait over there."

"Yes."

Ruan Shuyan left the imperial study and went to the small room next door to wait, which lasted for an hour and a half.

When the moon rises to the sky, even without turning on the lights, the surroundings are bright.

Ruan Shuyan walked to the door and just saw Su Sheng.

"Eunuch Su."

Su Sheng responded, "Madam Xie, are you bored here? Please wait a moment, I will bring some food to you."

Ruan Shuyan did not refuse. After thanking him, she went back to the house.

Another half hour later, Xie Yuchun appeared with a tired look on his face.

"Ma'am, let's go."

"Ah."

On the carriage back to the palace, Ruan Shuyan hesitated for a moment and ultimately did not ask about the conversation in the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, she let go of her worries, and Xie Yuchun took the initiative to tell her the reason: "A group of bandits appeared at the border."

Ruan Shuyan tilted her head, with a slightly inquiring look in her eyes: "How does the emperor plan to deal with this?"

Xie Yuchun said nothing, staring at Ruan Shuyan.

As time passed, Ruan Shuyan had an idea in her mind, but then she had another question: Xie Yuchun was a civil servant, and dealing with bandits should be the job of a military general.

"My husband, do you know why the emperor entrusted this matter to you?"

Xie Yuchun shook his head: "I don't know. The emperor's thoughts have become increasingly difficult to guess lately."

After returning to Xie's house, the two went back to their rooms.

Mother Lai ordered the servants to bring hot water.

"Miss, at the palace banquet today, the dress made of Shuiyunjin shocked everyone, didn't it?"

Ruan Shuyan: “…”

She didn't see *** at all.

Mother Lai wondered, "Why isn't Miss talking? But things aren't going well?"

"*** didn't go to the palace banquet."

Mother Lai opened her eyes wide: "I didn't go to the palace banquet, then, then the Shui Yunjin..."

"It doesn't matter. There will always be a chance to become famous. But before that, I have to solve another problem first."

Ruan Shuhuan's words tonight still left a mark on Ruan Shuyan's heart, and she decided to send an invitation to Prince Duan's Mansion tomorrow.

The sooner things are settled, the sooner her heart will be at peace.

She left the matter to Lai's mother, washed up, and went to bed.

The next day, as soon as Ruan Shuyan got up, she learned from Lai Mama that the letter delivered to Prince Duan's Mansion had been sent back.

"Do you have any reason?"

Mother Lai shook her head gently: "She didn't say anything, she just said that it's not convenient to entertain guests recently."

Not convenient to entertain guests?

Full of nonsense!

Ruan Shuyan wrote a letter to Mother Lai: "Send it to Brother Huo."
