The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 308 I Want to Build a Caravan

Herme's presence seemed to be there and not there.

When the Queen took her away from Princess Lingxi, her fate was already determined.

She lay on the cold ground, her black hair scattered all over the floor. These hairs were pulled out from her head one by one by Madam Jiaoyin.

"Your Majesty, this slave girl is about to die. What do you think we should do with her?" asked the teaching nanny, looking at the bald head in front of her.

The queen was raising her hand and letting another maid bandage her wound.

Her previous anger caused her to break her nails in a rage, and the pain made her even more disgusted with the person in front of her: "The guards guarding the corner gate have worked hard. Wash her and send her over so that everyone can enjoy some meat."

"My Lady...don't..." Hermione pleaded with all his might in a hoarse voice.

The queen sneered at her and said, "Don't you like climbing into bed? Then I'll let you climb as much as you want at once."

The next morning, the carriage drove out of the corner gate.

A few satisfied guards threw Hermey's naked body into the carriage, then closed the door and said to the teaching nun with a wry smile: "Nun, please go easy on us next time. It's not fun to hit a bald head every time."

"roll!"

"Yes……"

The dilapidated carriage sped out of the city, leaving the imperial palace behind.

Who knows where the desolate grassland will be the final resting place of this northern border woman. ...

From the proposal to reopen border trade at the court meeting on the 16th day of the first lunar month, to the time when the Third Prince Wu Tianxiao personally led people to the border to sort out the details and issue regulations, to today, a full four months have passed.

In today's Great Zhou, the scale of border trade has increased dozens of times. Rare foreign goods no longer need to be smuggled into the capital, but are transported openly to all the city alleys in the Great Zhou by caravans stretching for miles.

Ordinary people can now afford goods that used to cost dozens of times more.

The Honglu Temple in the capital, which was once deserted, became lively, and the surrounding Luming Street also became prosperous.

Xu Rongrong took out four property deeds from the box and told Luo Shu to take them to the pawnshop to sell them.

"Miss, I've noticed that Luming Street is now full of foreign merchants. I predict the property prices there will continue to rise. Wouldn't it be a pity if we sold half of our property now?" Luo Shu asked, puzzled. "You said it was packed with people. Wouldn't it be suspicious if our eight courtyards remained uninhabited? The brokerages would surely target us, and the identity of 'Mr. Tao' might be exposed." Xu Rongrong smiled at the money-grubber beside her. "Besides, I bought the shop on Luming Street out of fear that the money I kept would be stolen by Xu Liu. Now that danger is gone, it's better to take some of it back than to leave it on the house... The porcelain shop's bills are so high these days, it shows how rare these items are."

"Miss, do you have any new ideas?" Luo Shu's face was full of excitement when he mentioned making money.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Nowadays, foreign merchants come to Beijing to purchase porcelain, but the supply cannot meet the demand. I want to hire a caravan to sell the porcelain directly to foreign countries!"

"Miss, do you want to build a caravan?"

"Yes." Xu Rongrong nodded. "With my own caravan, I can not only sell porcelain...but also medicinal herbs. In the future, I can also sell other goods. It's better than sitting in the shop waiting for business opportunities." Luo Shu swallowed and grabbed the four property deeds on Luming Street. "I'll do it right away!"

It's only been four months, and there have been such earth-shaking changes. I wonder what will happen in the future... Xu Rongrong thought, holding her chin.

……

The third prince Wu Tianxiao's trip to the border not only successfully reopened trade.

He also found those who were sold to foreign countries by the former Crown Prince's Royal Farm. This time when he returned to Beijing, he brought back more than 30 people, and also left some guards to continue searching for the whereabouts of others.

Wu Tianxiao's actions were in stark contrast to the immoral actions taken by the deposed crown prince, Chang Jing and others.

He received widespread praise in the court.

This kind of praise and comparison made the queen extremely angry.

Why did Wu Tianxiao have to step on her son today! After the crown prince Wu Tianao was deposed as Prince An, the queen's thoughts became more unpredictable.

In front of others, she is the mistress of the harem and the mother of the country.

In front of the emperor, she had lost her support and had to be cautious and prudent, just hoping for His Majesty's mercy.

But only she and those around her knew that she was always plotting how to restore Prince An to the throne as the crown prince!

It was because of her scheme that Wu Tianxiao became a thorn in her side.

But when everything was still uncertain, she had no choice but to hide everything again and again.

That night, the emperor came to the Queen's Palace.

There have been many affairs in the court recently, and he had not planned to enter the harem.

But during the morning court session and after the court meeting, he heard too many people praising the third prince Wu Tianxiao.

This made him think of the Queen. The praise for the Third Prince and the discussion about Prince An would sooner or later be heard in the harem. If the Queen heard it, she would definitely be very sad. Thinking of how she cried bitterly in front of him after the incident with Prince An and did not dare to plead for him, the Emperor knew that he had to come tonight.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the queen's house, her eyes were red, but she pretended to be strong.

He embraced the Queen in his arms: "Prince An, son of the Emperor and Wenfei, has always been a good child. It was Chang Jing who led him astray. Now he is away from the troubles of the world in Anzhou, and he is more carefree than when he was the Crown Prince. Wenfei, there is no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, the queen's eyes became even redder.

She nestled in the emperor's chest and murmured, "Hmm..."

"The Third Brother has done a good job this time. During his absence, the Third Imperial Concubine didn't know to come to the palace to pay her respects to you. I will have them come and kowtow to you tomorrow."

"The Third Prince just returned to the capital, why are you bothering him?" "Why? Wen Fei is feeling sorry for him?"

"The Third Prince is your Majesty's son, and also my own child. Naturally, I love him dearly. Furthermore, during this border trip, the Third Prince performed great service. Your Majesty, if you don't reward him, why is he tormenting him?"

"Good, good, good! This is my fault," the emperor said with a smile. "Who said I won't reward him? He did a good job. I just can't think of a reward. Does Wenfei have any good ideas?"

What she said just now was a test from the Queen.

Now when the queen heard the emperor say that he wanted to reward Wu Tianxiao, her eyes became gloomy.

Soon, she straightened up. "Rewards are your majesty's business. I don't want to take on this task. However... since the New Year's Eve family dinner, the palace has had a long time of grand banquets. Why not take this opportunity to hold a celebration banquet for the third prince? First, it can show your majesty's love for his son, and second, it can let the clan members know that the Great Zhou royal family has a successor." The emperor was slightly startled. "The queen actually loves the third prince so much?"

Then he murmured, "Wen Fei is truly a rare woman in the world. It is my great fortune to have you as my wife."

The queen blushed slightly and said, "This is my duty."

The emperor looked at the empress's rosy face, his fingers subconsciously stroked her fair neck, and his voice was hoarse: "Wen Fei like this, I really can't let go."

The queen was very familiar with such a fiery look.
