Never divorce, never stop getting rich

With such a big incident happening, Qian Qiansui temporarily didn't dare to return to the Marquis' Mansion before the competition.

Wen Chun was seriously injured and was in a coma for half a month before waking up. She was either worried about his death or paying attention to the research and development of papermaking technology all day long, and she was very busy.

It was not until Yinzhu and Baiqing came to remind her that she realized that the sacrifice to heaven would be held the next day.

"Madam, you will still have to stand behind the Concubine Dowager tomorrow..." Yin Zhu and Bai Qing only learned about Madam's danger after they were taken to the academy by the family after the incident.

Even after such a long time, the two were still worried all day long, fearing that someone would come to the academy to kidnap people again.

"We've all been at loggerheads. She's more respectful than me. At worst, let's discuss this in public. Why did we kidnap our daughter-in-law?"

Qian Qiansui is not some lady from a noble family who would commit suicide just by looking at an arm. She is not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

She wasn't even afraid of pulling hair with the concubine in public, so why would she be afraid of standing with this person?

Yin Zhu and Bai Qing only felt that the lady had changed too much after getting married. It must be the changes in the Qian family that forced the lady to become strong and fearless.

Not to mention Qian Qiansui himself, the original owner was not from an official family, and things like offering sacrifices to heaven had never been the responsibility of an ordinary fifth-rank official family, so Qian Qiansui had no idea about this process. Fortunately, he didn't understand it, but there were capable people in the academy.

Not only was Eunuch Yang responsible for explaining all the procedures to her, but even Wen Chun, the injured person lying on the bed, was able to give her some basic knowledge about the positions of some important and powerful people during the sacrifice to heaven, as well as their preferences and taboos.

It is not known whether the source of this information is related to the organization behind him. Wen Chun almost lost half his life this time. He did not explain, and Qian Qiansui did not ask any more questions.

On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, Qian Qiansui did not care about her face and made a lavish ceremony. She brought Yin Zhu and Bai Qing, and drove the car with her family portrait. In the end, she could not withstand the disapproving looks of the people around her, and was forced to bring six guards.

The place for offering sacrifices to heaven is Tianfengtan in the suburbs of Beijing, which is where the Tang Kingdom has offered sacrifices to heaven for generations.

Not far from Tianfengtan is Tianqi Temple. In previous years, after offering sacrifices to heaven, the concubines in the harem and the royal family would all eat vegetarian food in the temple for a few days.

Because Tianfengtan is quite a distance away from the capital, many people left by carriage in the early hours of the morning.

Qian Qiansui suppressed his anger and fell asleep along the long line.

Half asleep and half awake, Qian Qiansui realized that the carriage had stopped.

"Eunuch Yang said that if we go through this door, there will be a eunuch to receive us. We just need to follow him."

Yin Zhu nervously explained repeatedly that they could not enter this door, and only those who were about to participate in the heaven sacrifice were qualified to enter.

Qian Qiansui quickly tidied up his clothes and hair, took a deep breath and got off the carriage. Many ladies had already walked in under the guidance of the eunuchs.

She was alone, not with her mother-in-law. Many ladies who had seen her at the Riwen family's birthday party could not help but murmur in private that the concubine of the marquis's mansion really looked down on this daughter-in-law from a merchant family.

Qian Qiansui was not afraid at all and walked in front of these people with confidence.

"Is your surname Liang?"

Among the group of people, only Qian Qiansui dared to talk to the eunuch who was leading the way, while the others were more or less reserved.

"Madam, do you know our family?" Eunuch Liang was surprised. Although he had been in the palace for some years, he was not favored by many nobles, so he mostly did hard work.

"Eunuch Yang mentioned it to me and asked me to take good care of you."

Eunuch Yang knew very well that there were many twists and turns in the palace, and he was afraid that Qian Qiansui would be cheated again this time when she entered the palace, so he simply asked her to sign up so that someone could take care of her.

These people in the academy have racked their brains to protect her.

"Oh my! I'm so lucky that Chief Steward Yang thought of me. I heard everyone is praising the academy that Madam sponsored. How's Chief Steward Yang doing these days? He's already been appointed Vice-President, which shows how much His Majesty values ​​him."

Eunuch Liang was a smart man. He understood what was said as soon as he heard it. He quickly flattered himself and enthusiastically brought the person directly to the concubine. He didn't even let Qian Qiansui find a seat himself.

The ladies around were not blind either. They had new ideas about the upcoming Five Academies Competition.

Qian Qiansui smiled brightly at the concubine, as if he was afraid that the concubine didn't see that he was safe and sound.

"Have you slept well these days, Your Majesty? I slept very well. I feel happy every time I think of the Marquis. I also want to thank Your Majesty for giving me a ride that day."

"Did you see my son that day? Where is he?"

Qian Qiansui was stunned by the concubine's reaction, and then he confirmed that the concubine probably didn't know that Fu Zichan had turned into a woman.

Qian Qiansui was deliberately mysterious. He just smiled and said nothing until the end of the sacrifice to heaven. He did not respond at all. He even left early and did not even put on a show.

On the way back to the city, Qian Qiansui was still thinking about the upcoming competition when he heard someone calling for help outside the car.

Yin Zhu was afraid of a trap and did not dare to let Qian Qiansui get off the carriage, but Qian Qiansui had already seen the girl in the carriage opposite. She quickly stopped the family portrait and hurriedly got off the carriage herself.

"Is the car frame broken?" As soon as Qian Qiansui walked over, the girl opened the car door in panic and ran out.

"Is that the wife of the Marquis of Anshun? My bicycle frame was fine before, but who knew it would break right after arriving here?"

Qian Qiansui looked around and found that the girl only brought a maid with her. Her clothes and accessories were simple, and her original identity was completely unrecognizable. He knew that the girl might have run away secretly.

"Princess Yongle, aren't you afraid of being seen by others if you run out like this?" If she encounters an assassin, the empress will have no daughter.

Yongle knew he would be recognized, but he didn't expect this to happen before he even returned to Beijing, so he begged for mercy:

"Madam, please save me. Send me back to Beijing first. I'm going to hide at my grandparents' house. Otherwise, my mother will definitely beat my butt to pieces."

Before Qian Qiansui could reply, another carriage came from behind. This carriage was inlaid with gold and silver, and it was the perfect way to show off its wealth and splendor.

But when Yongle saw the mark on the carriage, his face fell and he stepped forward to block Qian Qiansui.

"Is your carriage broken down? Do you want me to take you back to the capital?" The precious gauze was lifted, revealing the face of a wealthy man. He was not ugly, but his expression and eyes made you want to avoid him at first sight. He was too aggressive.

"No need, we have a carriage!" Yongle narrowed his eyes and looked at the man warningly.

However, this man seemed to be completely oblivious to the charming, youthful and beautiful Princess Yongle. Instead, he was staring straight at Qian Qiansui who was hiding behind the princess.

"You're welcome. I'm just passing by." The man stroked his chin and asked without looking away, "Madam, are you tired?"

"Let's go!" Princess Yongle held the confused Qian Qiansui tightly and quickly got into Qian Qiansui's carriage. Suddenly, there were five people in the carriage.

The man watched Qian Qiansui's carriage sway slightly as it drove away, and couldn't help but smile with interest, "Go check, who does that lady belong to?"

"Your Highness, we have just returned to the capital. This is not good..." the servant beside him reminded him.

"What's wrong with that? Once I take him away, he will naturally become a member of the palace."

The man said with great disdain, "Do you think that woman sitting on the dragon throne can control me?"
