The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Nanny Kong was shocked by Lin's words.

"Madam, please calm down. The Marquis may not be obsessed with her. He must have sent some supplements out of consideration for her dignity."

"Really?" Lin asked in surprise.

"Madam, those things in the past are all in the past. My brothers and sisters are all grown up now. You have lived with the Marquis for so many years, is it not as good as that glance from so many years ago?"

"If the Marquis really couldn't let her go, he would have rushed back from the army on the first day she entered the mansion. Why would he wait until now?" said Nanny Kong.

As Mrs. Lin listened to what Madam Kong said, her rationality gradually became clearer.

Yes, this was not more than ten years ago. Lin Wanru had already been married. How could the Marquis want a married woman?

Lin took a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and resumed her dignified and steady demeanor.

A few days passed in a flash.

On this day, Shen Qionghua received a letter from Fuling, saying that An Jin had inspected several restaurants to be transferred, but he needed to decide which restaurant to buy.

So Shen Qionghua changed into some light clothes, asked Shaoyao and Gancao to guard the yard, and went to Donglai Pavilion.

"Miss, here are all the restaurants in the capital that meet your requirements." An Jin respectfully handed over the stack of papers in his hand.

Shen Qionghua took it, looked at the content on it, and a hint of appreciation flashed across her eyes.

Madam Jin is worthy of being Madam Jin, she is always thorough in everything she does.

The paper records the specific location of each restaurant, the age of its furnishings, the reason for its closure, the number of customers in the past three days, and even the level of pedestrian traffic on the street where it is located, as well as the types of shops around the restaurant, whether there are any competitors, etc., all with clear annotations.

"So in your opinion, which restaurant should we buy?" Shen Qionghua asked.

Upon hearing this, An Jin stepped forward and circled two of the restaurants, "Miss, these two are the most suitable."

Shen Qionghua took a look, and the admiration in her eyes became even stronger.

Both restaurants are located on streets with high traffic.

One has a large number of customers and is furnished with newer furnishings, but the owner is in urgent need of money to run other businesses, so he wants to transfer it out.

The other one has a smaller number of guests and older furnishings, but it has an excellent location, facing the river, and has a pleasure boat. Most of the young men and ladies in the capital would choose the restaurants or pleasure boats on this street to hold poetry gatherings.

It is also because of this that there are many restaurants and teahouses on this street, and the competition is fierce. The restaurant owners had to move out because they could no longer run their businesses.

"Miss, An Jin prefers the former."

If you buy this restaurant, I believe you will be able to make a profit in no time.

"No, the latter is more suitable." Shen Qionghua said.

She knew how popular An Jin's food recipes would be in the future. Although the latter restaurant would face fierce competition, it would still be able to attract many people. Moreover, the people who came to this street were either rich or noble. If she opened a restaurant here, she would dare to triple the price.

If the noble families in the capital all like the food in the restaurant, are we afraid that the people below will not follow suit?

Just wait for the payment.

Shen Qionghua told An Jin about his idea, and An Jin's eyes lit up.

"That's what the young lady said. An Jin will do it right away."

After explaining everything to An Jin, Shen Qionghua planned to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the wing room, he ran into Xie Nanyuan head-on.

Both of them were stunned.

Shen Qionghua faintly smelled a faint medicinal scent and thought that Prince Rui must have just finished taking a medicinal bath.

Just when she was about to go up to him and ask him what he meant by asking An Yi to take care of her last time, she saw him nod at her, turn around and leave.

Shen Qionghua was stunned for a moment, she turned around and asked An Yi,

"What happened to your prince?"

An Yi: "..."

On the carriage.

Xie Nanyuan frowned, and Lin Ze beside him was terrified.

Suddenly, Xie Nanyuan said, "Today, I am going to Donglai Pavilion to take a medicinal bath. Have you told An Yi about this?"

Lin Ze was confused, wondering why the prince asked about An Yi.

"Your Highness, without your order, I would never dare to tell anyone your whereabouts." Lin Ze said cautiously.

After hearing this, Xie Nanyuan pursed his lips and unconsciously stroked the fabric of his clothes with his hands.

How did Shen Qionghua know his whereabouts and why did he specially come to Donglai Pavilion to meet him?

It seems that she didn't listen to what I said that day.

Just as Xie Nanyuan was lost in thought, Ji Bei's voice came from outside the car, "Your Majesty, the Emperor summons you to the palace!"

-

Tai Chi Hall

A bright yellow figure sat on a dragon throne made of pure gold, reviewing memorials.

Li Shunquan tiptoed to his side and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has arrived."

Xie Rong raised his head from the memorial, a smile on his face, "Yuan'er is here? Let him in quickly."

The next moment, a pair of steady footsteps entered the hall.

"My son, please see your father!"

"Hurry up and get up. Why are you still being polite to your father?" Xie Rong walked up to Xie Nanyuan and helped him up.

This brat, the older he gets, the more distant he becomes from me.

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Why did the emperor summon me to the palace?" Xie Nanyuan asked.

Xie Rong was immediately dissatisfied when he heard this, "Just because I'm fine, I can't ask you to come into the palace?"

"Look at how long it has been since you last entered the palace, and you didn't even come to see me!"

A rare flicker of helplessness crossed Xie Nanyuan's face. "Father, I'm still sick."

Xie Rong sneered, knowing that he would always make excuses. "Don't try that! Do you think I don't know? I've already asked the director of the Imperial Hospital. You've been feeling much better recently."

The director of the court would go to Prince Rui's mansion to check Prince Rui's pulse every two days, so Xie Rong knew Xie Nanyuan's physical condition very well.

"Now that your health has improved, you can't be lazy anymore. Report to the Ministry of War in two days." Xie Rong said.

He had wanted to bring Yuan'er into the court to gain some experience early on, but Yuan'er was unwilling, and at that time he was indeed needed on the border.

But since the victory half a year ago, the State of Chen has been much more peaceful recently, and Yuan'er should also learn how to handle affairs in the court.

This time, Xie Nanyuan did not refuse as usual. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I obey."

Seeing that he did not refuse, Xie Rong was very satisfied and asked about his health.

When the time was almost up, Xie Nanyuan took his leave.

Just as I left the Taiji Hall, a woman in blue palace dress came towards me.

"Prince Rui hasn't been to the palace for a long time. How come he has time to come today?"

Concubine Zhou took the palace maid's hand and glanced at Xie Nanyuan, feeling a little unhappy.

As soon as he entered the palace, he went to the Taiji Hall.

Xie Nanyuan glanced at her and said calmly, "I am entering the palace at the order of my father."

Concubine Zhou's face froze, and she said with a look of concern, "I heard that Prince Rui was still seriously injured, but he seems to be feeling much better today."

It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as Xie Nanyuan mentioned it, she remembered Xie Qian'an poisoning him. "Your Highness, please don't worry about my affairs. Just serve your father well."

"you!"

Concubine Zhou's face was gloomy. She had been in the palace for so many years and was respected, but Prince Rui dared to ridicule her.

Li Shunquan came out and saw this scene. He said to Concubine Zhou, "Your Highness, the Emperor summons you to come in."
