But she felt that it was not enough. People are so greedy, so at that moment, she found a way to express her greed.

She wanted to fight for a little freedom for the women of Daxia. It might not be effective in her lifetime, but she wanted to become a spark.

Become a spark that will spark a woman's future with equal and independent rights, which will then set the whole prairie on fire.

A few days after this incident, the Prince of Qi came to the capital. He heard that the Emperor had not eaten or drunk anything for three days.

Lan Hanlu also asked the servants to pack up and prepare to go back. After the incident with King Qi was over, it would be the New Year, and it would be time for them to pay their respects.

The annual festival gift-giving ceremony was a major event. Although the general's residence didn't have many visitors now, it still had some, so this matter had to be handled with caution. He wasn't aiming for a further improvement in the relationship, but he absolutely couldn't let it deteriorate under her control.

This time when she returned to Beijing, she brought with her a lot of grown vegetables and flowers, as well as her own rouge and powder, and some precious jewelry and antiques.

Hmm, a very nice gift.

Coincidentally, she had just arrived in the capital and had not yet settled down when the servants in the mansion came to report that the general had brought a lot of things from there, saying that they were for the lady to spend.

Because they lived far away, communication was difficult for both parties. Since they separated, they had only exchanged three letters. However, Lan Hanlu still had some understanding of his situation.

After all, there would always be battle reports coming back, and every time the emperor would pass her a small note. It was unknown how this habit formed, but the two of them wouldn't exchange these small notes every day, but would communicate every two or three days.

The soap, soap factory and distillery they mentioned before have all started production, and the manufacture of glass is under trial. Although there are products available, Lan Hanlu feels that there are too many impurities in them and they are not clear enough, so it is still in the trial stage.

Everything can start once the matter of King Qi is over. Once we have money, we can start stockpiling supplies.

What Lou Xiao sent over were some fine furs and jewelry, but there was also a box of gold and silver, and some exotic jewelry from foreign countries, which were really beautiful.

Since it was said that they were for the lady to spend, she directly put these things into her own small warehouse, and gave the box of gold and silver to the housekeeper to be stored in the big warehouse.

The furs that Lou Xiao asked someone to bring over were better than those sent by the caravan. Among them was a piece of fiery red fox skin, which was very similar to the one she saw that year.

Lan Hanlu stroked it with her hand and observed it for a long time. At night, a secret guard came and gave Lan Hanlu a square box.

She knew who it was without asking. Lan Hanlu opened the box and found a fiery red fox fur cloak. She stroked the fur carefully and couldn't help but take the cloak out of the box.

She even put it on herself and turned around. It was really nice and warm. When she was satisfied with the beauty, she looked at the person standing beside her, walked quickly into the house, and took out a fan cover from the embroidery basket.

Then she came out and said, "Thank the emperor for me. I like this very much. It is really beautiful. Please give this single set to the emperor. I don't have any valuables. This is embroidered by me personally. It is a return gift to the emperor."

He took the things and breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't bring something back, the emperor wouldn't punish him, but the pressure from his aura was so great that he dared not breathe.

Indeed, after returning, the emperor asked Madam Lan how she was doing. He only said that she was very happy, and the emperor didn't hear the next sentence for a long time, and then the momentum came out.

He quickly took out the fan case and served it to the emperor, which made him feel a little relieved. Seeing the emperor waving his hands in annoyance, he quickly disappeared.

Qi Linmu fiddled with the fan cover while saying, "Let's go find someone else next time. Mu Yi is like a saw-mouthed gourd. He can't even understand a word."

Seeing that the emperor was no longer so angry, the chief eunuch hurried over to replace the tea with hot water, and then said softly, "A letter will arrive later and you will know what happened at that time."

"Yeah, what's the point of me making things difficult for such a taciturn person?" Qi Linmu smiled and put the fan case in a box.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone had to go to the palace to meet the emperor, and she was still the most shining one. There was nothing she could do about Lou Xiao's contribution and her own beauty, neither of which allowed her to be low-key.

Since it is impossible to be completely low-key, you have to be high-profile enough so that people don't dare to underestimate you. Otherwise, being neither up nor down is not necessarily a good thing.

The banquet made her stomach hurt. The women spoke in a roundabout way, trying to dig out some unspeakable things from her.

Fortunately, it was not a complete loss. She received rewards from the emperor and the queen. The key was that the two of them seemed to be able to see into her heart, and the rewards were particularly in line with her wishes.

What she didn't know was that the emperor's reward was carefully selected, and the queen's reward was suggested by Emperor Dedao. However, she accepted them without any guilt, after all, those soaps were selling very well before the New Year.

Even today at the banquet, people were talking about it.

She even displayed a few pieces of glassware that she disliked. Of course, the prices were so high that it made people shudder. One could imagine what the mirrors would look like when they were displayed in the future.

However, due to many things happening before the New Year, she has not yet found the shop she wants, so her rouge and powder have not been able to be put on the shelves.

I must finish this matter after the New Year, and then find someone to pack a batch of boxes and organize a batch of supplies. In case an accident happens and I die early, this batch of supplies will be a relief.

After the New Year, she asked the housekeeper to help find out if there was a shop, and she took people to the farm again. It was spring, and not only her farm but also the farm of the general's mansion needed to be replanned.

However, knowing that the emperor was going to convey his decree, Lan Hanlu still sent a letter, telling him about family matters and attaching two short love poems at the end. She then put the matter aside.

This year, she was really busy, and her vision was gradually being realized. The factories opened in the name of the court were producing products that were in short supply.

Lan Hanlu had made a lot of money from the dividends she received in the summer. She asked someone to find a carpenter and moved into the farm with her apprentice and his family.

She was specially made of box furniture, using the most precious wood and the finest craftsmanship. All boxes were required to be of two types: one was two meters square, which was used to store food, furs, etc.

The other type is like a cabinet, but it is wider, taller and longer than a cabinet. These are used to store jewelry and cooked food. The inside is divided into partitions and the things are placed inside, which makes it easy to take out and not afraid of being pressed or bumped.

By the end of the year, Lou Xiao had been gone for more than a year. She remembered that it was just the beginning of autumn when he left.

When she took the letter handed to her by Xiangcheng that day, she knew it was from the emperor, so she opened it without paying any attention.
