The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

"Ouyang Ping, have you really met Miss Wang's husband?" Luo Qing asked casually, "What kind of person is he? What makes him so outstanding that he can be a good match for Miss Wang?"

"Yes, I have!" Ouyang Ping answered without hesitation: "But why should I tell you about his situation? In short, he is outstanding!"

"You..." Luo Qing was so angry that he was puffing his beard and glaring, and was about to compete with Ouyang Ping.

Wang Xinyao hurriedly said, "Sir, what good news did you bring me today?"

Luo Qing smiled faintly and stopped arguing with Ouyang Ping. Instead, he got back to the point: "The Emperor has already agreed to your request. A road will be built to Xiejia Village next spring. All the expenses will be borne by the court. You only need to provide the method for making cement and construction."

Wang Xinyao was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Lord Luo."

"However..." Luo Qing suddenly changed the subject, "The Emperor has one condition."

Wang Xinyao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What are the conditions?"

Luo Qing glanced at Wang Xinyao and laughed heartily. "The Emperor has decided that all paper used in the palace will be purchased from your workshop. However, the price must be reduced by 10% from the wholesale price."

Wang Xinyao was stunned when she heard this. She was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She never thought that this would be such a great joyful event.

The scale of the palace is so grand and the population is so large, the amount of paper required must be astonishing. This is not just a condition, it is clearly a mountain of gold and silver given to oneself.

Wang Xinyao immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "Of course it's no problem. Thank you, sir!"

"Then I will use this cup of fragrant tea instead of wine to wish Miss Wang a prosperous business in advance!" Luo Qing picked up the teacup and offered tea to Wang Xinyao.

Wang Xinyao also quickly responded!

"Miss Wang, please prepare the paper needed for the palace as soon as possible. All the goods must be delivered in the next two days. I wonder if they can be prepared? I have to rush back to the capital the day after tomorrow. If I can't get to the capital before the New Year, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble!" Luo Qing said with a smile.

Wang Xinyao nodded repeatedly and promised confidently, "Don't worry, sirs. There will be no problem. In addition to the carriages you left here today, we will also arrange for some other vehicles to deliver the goods. This way, we can prepare the goods even faster!"

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qing stood up and said goodbye.

Just as I walked out of the yard, I happened to see Xie Xiaogang and others coming out of the old house, and there was some faint light in the room!

"Ms. Wang, is there anyone still living in your old house?" Luo Qing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity!

Wang Xinyao quickly explained, "They're all businessmen and scholars who want to start a paper business! Well, they're considered outsiders, so we'll just put them there for now. Once the business is settled tomorrow, they'll leave!"

"Oh, I see! This paper business seems to be booming. Miss Wang is not only very smart, but also has a good business sense!" Luo Qing said admiringly, "Then I'll take my leave first!"

"Sister, can I stay at your house tonight?" Ouyang Ping's face was full of anticipation.

Before Wang Xinyao could even open her mouth to refuse, Luo Qing was furious: "Ouyang Ping, the emperor sent you here to protect me, not to have fun in Xiejia Village! If you don't want to take on this responsibility, I will immediately report to the emperor and ask for a replacement!"

Ouyang Ping used to always pester him, but now she was always indifferent to him. If she didn't go back with him, she would have to eat that unpalatable meal again tomorrow. He was now accustomed to Ouyang Ping's cooking skills. Although it was not as delicious as Li Cuihua's, it was better than the cooks in his family!

Wang Xinyao gave Ouyang Ping a restrained look, and Ouyang Ping had no choice but to follow Luo Qing back!

Watching their receding figures, Wang Xinyao's lips curled up slightly as she murmured to herself, "This pair of bickering lovers is truly fascinating. Looks like there's going to be something interesting to watch!"

It was late at night and everything was silent. Wang Xinyao came quietly to the old house.

At this time, twenty people had gathered in the room. Although the number was not large, it was only the first day after all, so it was a good start!

The moment Wang Xinyao stepped into the room, several figures immediately came to greet her.

These people were dressed in various ways. Some were dressed as businessmen, with shrewd expressions; others were dressed as scholars, with refined manners. Of course, their true identities were the well-trained personal guards of the crown prince.

"Greetings, Madam!" several people said in unison, their voices low but full of respect. They had already learned from Commander Xu Ping that Wang Xinyao was the Crown Prince's wife, and very likely to become the Crown Princess in the future. A feeling of respect welled up in their hearts!

Seeing this, Wang Xinyao smiled. She quickly bowed in return and said, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone! Time is running out. Hurry and pack your bags and come with me to meet him!"

Late at night, it seemed as if covered by a thick black curtain, and it became increasingly darker.

Wang Xinyao walked lightly in front, followed closely by a group of people with solemn expressions and agile movements.

They moved forward cautiously, without making any sound, and headed towards the back mountain silently like a group of ghosts.

Finally, Wang Xinyao led everyone to the cave halfway up the mountain.

The cave is hidden between dense woods and steep mountain walls, and it is difficult to discover its existence unless you are familiar with the terrain.

The moment Wang Xinyao stepped into the cave, the previously silent cave suddenly became noisy, and everyone woke up from their slumber.

"Greetings, master, we finally found you!" With this shout, everyone knelt on their knees in unison. Their voices were like bursts of thunder, echoing in the spacious cave, deafening, almost breaking through the top of the cave and resounding throughout the entire valley.

And at this moment, the original group of teenagers woke up from their dream.

Especially when they saw that the person in front of them, who was respectfully called "Master" by everyone, was actually the prince, an expression of disbelief appeared on their faces.

The most surprised were the ten elites from Xiejia Village who had been carefully selected. Especially Li Cuihua's two nephews, their eyes widened and their mouths agape for a long time.

For these teenagers who had always lived in remote villages and had never even seen the mayor in person, the scene at this moment was like a dream.

Although they had always known that the son-in-law married into Sister Xinyao's family was no ordinary person, they never imagined that he would be the prince, and that they would have the honor to follow the prince and serve him.

This sudden surprise made them feel as if they had suddenly ascended to the clouds, and they felt dizzy.
