The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

Inner Hall of Kunning Palace

Emperor Jiayou sat on the edge of the bed, watching Empress Cao dressing with a resentful look in his eyes, and said, "Can we not go out today?"

Empress Cao was just letting Fang Ruo comb her hair when she turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler. Are you planning to go back on your word?"

The last time I wanted to go out, he asked me to do this. I thought it was a rare occasion for him to ask, so I agreed. But I didn't expect him to ask again this time. This is not going to work! I finally got the freedom to do it. If I agree to it again, there will be countless more times in the future.

Emperor Jiayou was choked by Empress Cao's words and didn't know what to say. He could only change his strategy, "Then I will let Anwu and Anliu protect you."

"Whatever you say." Zhihua also knew kung fu, and he'd sneaked out with her before without encountering any danger. Now suddenly adding two more people, supposedly for protection, was actually a disguised surveillance. However, the couple understood each other tacitly.

Yonghe Palace

Concubine Zhang stood up suddenly and asked, "Is this true?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. The Empress dressed as an ordinary person and left the palace through the small door with Aunt Zhihua." The little palace maid Cui Liu knelt on the ground and answered tremblingly.

Concubine Zhang's eyes sparkled. "Great! Peony, come and see!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cui Liu knelt down and kowtowed again, then took the purse given by Shaoyao and left happily.

Shaoyao walked behind Concubine Zhang and rubbed her shoulders. "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Concubine Zhang was clearly in a good mood at this time. After thinking for a moment, she said, "There's no rush for this matter. She'll have to go out a few more times, and then find her a lover. It won't be too late to expose it later. Talking about it now will only alert the enemy."

Shaoyao lowered her eyes, but the strength in her hands did not decrease as she complimented him, "Your Majesty, your opinion is excellent."

Ever since the Empress used the glass factory to lure the Emperor away, the Emperor hasn't been to Yonghe Palace for a long time, and the Imperial Concubine has been unhappy because of this.

Although the Zhen office did some manipulation in the glass factory matter, it is unknown how Zhan Peiyuan talked to Zhou Dajiang. In the end, Zhou Dajiang actually bypassed the Zhen office and got the job done.

For this, the Empress was so angry that she smashed her beloved vase. I hope that the Empress can successfully win the game this time, and it would be best if she can make the Empress lose her favor from now on.

On the other side, after leaving the palace, Empress Cao first went to Xunbao Pavilion and Lai Fu Restaurant, and seeing that there was no change, she went to Datong Trading Company.

Under Xue Jing's leadership, Datong Trading Company is involved in multiple fields, so the company is bustling with activity from top to bottom.

Manager Chu had no idea that Empress Cao was the boss behind the scenes. Upon seeing the two of them come in, he hurried forward and asked, "Excuse me, ladies, what can I do for you?"

Zhihua showed the shopkeeper's token and said, "Please take us to find Shopkeeper Xue."

When Manager Chu saw the token, he knew that it was an honored guest, and immediately led people to see Manager Xue.

Since the factory was established in the suburbs of Beijing, Xue Jing has been visiting the factory almost every two days to check on the progress. That day, just as he was about to leave, Manager Chu arrived with his men.

When Xue Jing saw that it was his boss, he immediately welcomed him into the house and dismissed the steward Chu. After paying his respects to Empress Cao, he asked, "Why did you come in person?"

Empress Cao nodded and said, "That's fine. I will leave the palace once every two weeks from now on."

After a pause, he continued, "What's the situation in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"Everything is going smoothly. The first batch of materials has been obtained, and the next step is processing, polishing, and producing frames."

"As long as it goes smoothly, remember, stop after you have produced a batch of lens samples. Opticians should push them out first and then process them after they have taken pre-orders."

"promise."

When it comes to business, Empress Cao is like a completely different person. Not only does she have a unique vision, but she is also very decisive. Even Xue Jing, who boasts of having been in business his entire life, feels inferior to her in this respect.

After discussing business matters, Empress Cao asked about Chen Xiuying again. They had a very good conversation last time, and since there was still time, Empress Cao wanted to meet her again.

Speaking of Chen Xiuying, Xue Jing also admired her. "Mrs. Zhou recently opened a hamburger shop, and on the same day, her daughter also opened a sachet shop. The two shops are not far from each other, and I heard that the response to them is good."

"Oh? Take me to have a look."

So on the third day of the store's opening, Chen Xiuying met Empress Cao dressed in women's clothes.

When the three of them arrived, Chen Xiuying was collecting the bills. In the first two days of opening, the hamburger business was booming due to the advertising. On the third day, there were fewer people than the previous two days, but the number of orders was still considerable.

When Chen Xiuying saw Queen Cao, she hurriedly stood up to greet her, her face full of surprise.

"Why is Madam here?"

Empress Cao smiled and joked, "I heard your hamburger is very popular, so I came to try it."

After Xue Jing dropped the people off, he said goodbye to the two of them and left because he had to go to the factory.

After exchanging greetings with Xue Jing, Chen Xiuying hurriedly invited the master and servant to sit upstairs, and had someone bring up a variety of freshly baked cakes and snacks.

The three of them were still sitting in the private room by the window. Zhihua knew the Empress's preferences and first delivered the egg tarts to Empress Cao.

Empress Cao took a bite and her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Delicious! No wonder it's so popular."

Seeing that she liked sweets, Chen Xiuying pushed milk tea and sandwich cake in front of her. The result can be imagined. Empress Cao ate too much because of her greed.

Since there were only three of them, she didn't care about her appearance anymore. She leaned back on the sofa and kept praising: "The food here is very suitable for me... Madam's taste, and the environment is also very good. I like it very much. I will come here often in the future."

Chen Xiuying was delighted to be praised by the guest. "I'm glad you like it. You're welcome to come often."

Empress Cao had enjoyed the delicious food herself, and after thinking about it, she brought a portion for Emperor Jiayou. She didn't bring too much, just her favorite egg tarts and cakes. The emperor normally couldn't eat outside food, so she thought that if he didn't eat it, she would keep it for herself.

After packing the food, she remembered that Chen Xiuying's daughter also opened a shop, so she asked her, "I heard from Shopkeeper Xue that your daughter also opened a shop not far from here. I'm a little full, can you take me there for a look?"

Chen Xiuying was naturally happy to do so, and she led the master and servant to the incense bag shop.

There weren't many people in the sachet shop today, only a few. Seeing that there were few people around, the two old ladies went back.

When the shop was being renovated, a woman who came in to watch the excitement remarked that there were no shops specializing in bags on the commercial street. At the time, Zhou Sisi thought that a shop without bags would be even better, as she would be the only one.

But she hadn't considered that bags weren't daily consumables, and that customers who bought them wouldn't replace them for another for a long time. So, seeing the store was deserted today, she was a little worried.

But her worry only lasted a moment. Who am I? I'm Little Red Riding Hood, with so many readers. How can I not change this trend with my own abilities? What a joke! I can do it in a matter of minutes!

So when Chen Xiuying brought people in, Zhou Sisi was concentrating on drawing.
