"Really?" Lin Wanqing was stunned. "Maybe it's because I was out walking around and I'm in a better mood."

"Really?" Xia Yiyi looked at her with a half-smile, "I thought it was because you met someone."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Wanqing rolled her eyes at her. "How could I have seen anyone?"

"Yes, yes, I was just kidding." Xia Yiyi said with a smile, "But Sister Lin, you are a princess now. You should go out more and make more friends."

"I understand." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I will."

The two chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.

In the following days, Lin Wanqing went to the shop every day.

She renovated the shop, stocked up on new merchandise, and did some promotional activities.

Gradually, the shop's business began to pick up.

"Princess, you're truly amazing," the clerk said excitedly, looking at the profits on the account. "In just one month, our business has returned to its previous level."

"That's nothing." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "As long as we all work together, there's nothing we can't do."

"Your Highness is right." The man nodded. "We are all willing to follow you."

Lin Wanqing felt a warm feeling in her heart as she listened to the waiter's words.

She knew that these guys were following her sincerely, and she would not treat them unfairly.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Lin Wanqing said, "Go and distribute this month's profits to everyone. It's a reward for everyone."

"Yes, Princess." The waiter responded happily.

He didn't expect that Lin Wanqing would be so generous as to share the profits with them.

You know, their previous employer was very stingy and never gave them an extra penny.

Lin Wanqing was also very happy when she saw the waiter's happy expression.

She felt that everything she did was worth it.

In the evening, Lin Wanqing returned to the palace.

As soon as she walked into the yard, she saw Lu Shengyuan waiting for her.

"Your Highness, why are you here?" Lin Wanqing was a little surprised to see him.

"I came to see you," Lu Shengyuan said. "You come to the shop every day, and I'm worried about your health."

"I'm fine." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "I'm in good health."

"Really?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her. "Then why do I hear from my servants that you come home late every day and fall asleep immediately because you're so tired?"

"They're exaggerating," Lin Wanqing said. "I just stayed in the shop a little longer to take care of some things."

"Princess, why do you have to work so hard?" Lu Shengyuan looked at her. "The palace doesn't lack your money."

"I know." Lin Wanqing nodded, "But I can't always rely on you. I also need to have my own career."

"Career?" Lu Shengyuan was stunned. "Is this your career?"

"That's right." Lin Wanqing nodded. "Although this is just a shop, it's mine. I want to do it well."

"Alas..." Lu Shengyuan sighed as he looked at her determined expression. "I can't do anything to you, but you have to promise me not to overwork yourself."

"I understand." Lin Wanqing nodded, "I will take care of myself."

"Yes," Lu Shengyuan nodded, "Then I will go back first. You should get some rest early."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Wanqing saw him to the door and watched him leave.

She turned back to the room, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and looked at herself in the mirror.

She found that she seemed to have changed a lot.

In the past, she was always weak and helpless, at the mercy of others.

Now she has become strong and independent and has her own pursuits.

She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but she knew this was the life she wanted.

"Come on, Lin Wanqing." She looked at herself in the mirror and encouraged herself, "You can do it."

The next day, Lin Wanqing got up early.

She came to the shop and started a new day's work.

As time went by, the shop's business became better and better, and Lin Wanqing's reputation spread throughout the capital.

Many people know that this princess is not only beautiful, but also very capable.

"Princess, someone is looking for you outside." The waiter came in and interrupted Lin Wanqing's thoughts.

"Who's looking for me?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"It's a girl," the waiter said. "She said she's your friend."

"My friend?" Lin Wanqing was stunned. "What's her name?"

"She didn't tell me." The waiter shook his head. "She just said you'd know once you saw her."

Lin Wanqing frowned, unable to figure out who would come to see her.

When she walked out of the shop, she saw a carriage parked at the door with a woman standing next to it.

"Who are you?" Lin Wanqing looked at her and asked.

The woman ran over excitedly when she saw Lin Wanqing.

She fell to her knees and cried, "Princess, you must save my father!"

"What are you doing?" Lin Wanqing quickly helped her up. "If you have anything to say, please talk to me."

"Princess, you must save my father," the woman cried. "He's been arrested by the government. They say he's committed a crime and is going to be executed. My father is innocent. He's been framed. I know you're a good person. You must help me!"

"Arrested by the government?" Lin Wanqing was stunned. "What exactly happened? Tell me clearly."

"My father is a kind businessman who has lived an honest life. But recently, he was framed and accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country."

"Then where is your father being held now?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"I'm imprisoned, awaiting execution," the woman said. "I've begged many people, but they refused to help."

After hearing this, Lin Wanqing finally understood.

"Your father was arrested. Is there any evidence to prove his innocence?" Lin Wanqing asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." The woman nodded. "I have evidence, but those officials won't even look at it. They only care about money. I don't have that much money, so they ignore me."

"Do you have evidence?" Lin Wanqing looked at her, "Then show it to me."

"Okay, okay." The woman quickly pulled out a piece of paper from her bosom. "Here's the evidence. This is the correspondence between my father and the other party. They were just doing ordinary business. It's not treason at all."

Lin Wanqing took the paper from the woman and looked at it carefully.

She found that the content was indeed just ordinary business dealings and there was no content of treason at all.

"This is indeed a normal business transaction." Lin Wanqing nodded, "But, I can't save your father either."

"Why?" The woman looked at her. "Aren't you the princess? You must have a way."

"Although I'm the princess, I can't interfere in government affairs." Lin Wanqing shook her head. "If everyone came to me for help like you, wouldn't I be so busy?"

"Princess, I beg you," the woman cried, "You must help me! I really have no other choice."

Lin Wanqing felt a little sorry when he saw her crying.
