Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

The other court officials also rushed out and echoed.

"Yes, even if Your Majesty wanted to reward her, he could have taken her into the palace and made her a concubine. Why did he insist on making her Empress? Furthermore, Your Majesty is now the Son of Heaven, and having a long line of heirs is extremely important. How could he have only one woman?"

"I also feel this is inappropriate. Your Majesty's marriage is different from that of ordinary people. It involves relations with other countries. In the future, marriage will inevitably be used to consolidate power. How can you make such a casual oath?"

……

These words fell into Fu Zhun's ears accurately.

No one noticed that his expression grew darker amid the discussion.

"enough!"

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and slammed his palm on the table, and the surroundings fell silent.

He gritted his teeth, his gloomy eyes swept over the courtiers one by one, he stood up suddenly, threw the golden crown on his head heavily on the table, and said disdainfully.

"This throne was not what I wanted in the first place. You all didn't want to take responsibility, so you forced it on me."

"Since you are so dissatisfied with my decision, I will return the throne to you. You should find another suitable candidate to ascend the throne! I am going to travel with my princess and enjoy the mountains and rivers!"

After saying this, he turned around with a flick of his sleeves and strode out of the hall, leaving all the civil and military officials in the court looking at each other in bewilderment.

This, what should we do?

The court officials were shocked and started talking again.

Next, for several days, Fu Zhun did not go to court. Every day he either fed the fish or admired the flowers.

The court officials were extremely anxious but had no idea what to do.

The palace is like a cage. Although it looks luxurious, living here for a long time will inevitably make you feel depressed. After Li Guihua's injuries stabilized, Su An took the opportunity to propose leaving the palace.

Fu Zhun knew her temper and did not stop her. He had her safely escorted out of the palace.

In addition, they also thoughtfully arranged for her to have a Beijing household registration.

Land in the capital is very expensive, and she has a registered residence, so she naturally cannot waste it.

So, she decided to return to her old job.

"What? Big sister is planning to open a bun shop in the capital again? But the people in the capital have tasted all kinds of delicious food. Will they buy our buns?"

Su Ting curled his lips, scratched his head, and asked in confusion.

After hearing this, Su An patted him on the head in annoyance.

"What do you mean by that? Are you doubting my cooking skills? As long as these buns are delicious, not only will they sell well, I'm afraid they will even be in short supply!"

What's more, the powerful people in the capital are stupid and have a lot of money. Logically speaking, business should be easier to do than in other cities.

When saying this, Su An seemed to see countless gold and silver rushing towards her frantically.

Mountains of gold and silver, here I come!

Su Ting stuck out his tongue, then nodded heavily and complimented with a playful smile.

"How could that be possible? Big sister's cooking skills are unparalleled. If Big sister opened a bun shop in the capital, there would definitely be a lot of people vying for their buns. In the future, our bun shop would definitely become the best bun shop in the capital."

"I agree. I can also set up a small stall in front of the bun shop and provide medical treatment to the people passing by, and make some money."

Su Yue's eyebrows and eyes turned into crescent shapes when she smiled, and she also spoke in support.

The two little ones agreed, and Su Jiang had no reason to refuse, so he nodded.

Su An chuckled and turned to look at Li Guihua.

"Mom, what do you think?"

"Of course I can, but in the past, I could still help you. But now my hands are no longer able to move, and even if I could help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do much. I'm holding you back."

Li Guihua nodded with a smile, but there was a trace of imperceptible loss in her eyes as she looked down at her hands.

Sensing her emotions, Su An quickly held her hand and comforted her softly.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Once the shop opens, you'll definitely be a big help. By then, I'm afraid the shop won't be able to function without you!"

Li Guihua looked at her doubtfully, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Su An immediately chose a shop in a prime location in the capital and opened it in a hurry.

She already had some skills, and she had trained the three little kids to be very outgoing. They were not at all stage-shy. While helping with the work, they stood at the door and sang the songs they had composed with all their might.

The buns have thin skin and large fillings, and are fragrant. Coupled with the unique way of selling, they soon attracted many passers-by to stop and take a look.

The smell of meat mixed with spices rushed into their nostrils, making their stomachs growl.

People in the capital are either rich or noble, and they don’t care about these little things at all, so they all pay money to try them.

Compared with Su An’s buns, the buns they had eaten before were tasteless.

Word of mouth spread quickly, and the reputation of the bun shop spread throughout the capital. Customers came to the shop every day, and sometimes they even had to wait in line.

Su An was busy in the kitchen, while Li Guihua was happily helping people pack food in paper bags and greeting guests.

The three kids were also very busy, helping to carry and pass the buns, while collecting money with a smile and saying auspicious words.

"You are a capable girl, are you ready for marriage?"

An old lady who often visited the bun shop glanced at Su An in the kitchen and asked Li Guihua with a smile.

After saying this, she continued on her own without waiting for Li Guihua's response.

"If not, my distant cousin's nephew is very handsome and just passed the imperial examination this year. How about I help you connect them so they can get to know each other?"

Li Guihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head in response.

"This is all their own business. I can't make the decision. Besides, I'm a country boy and don't have any ambitions. I don't ask them to become rich and famous in this life. I just want them to be safe and happy."

But the old lady didn't seem to agree with this.

She shook her head and sighed with a pout.

"That's not what you said. This girl should be kept under control. Have you heard about that girl in the palace? I heard she's a country girl who has seduced the King of Zhenbei. He said he must make her his queen and never take a concubine."

"Isn't this nonsense? We are decent girls, we can't be like that seductive girl. When we reach a certain age, we should marry properly and take care of our husbands and children."

When she mentioned the enchanting beauty, the people around her immediately became interested and started teasing her.

"What you said is totally illogical. Someone who could charm the King of Zhenbei must be a charming and exquisite beauty. Even if an ordinary woman wants to emulate the enchanting beauty, she must have that ability."

They did not lower their voices when they spoke, so all their words fell into Su An's ears.

A seductive beauty who captivates the world and a charming and beautiful woman with all kinds of charm.

When did she get this nickname?

Su An shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, moved a tray of buns out of the kitchen, put them on the table outside, and then explained to the man.

"Is there a possibility that she actually looks quite ordinary?"
