After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

The seventh prince took the tiger seal from his hand and handed it to the emperor.

When Emperor Mingcheng heard the seventh prince say this, he immediately laughed.

“Consort Lian, look, Huai’er has already made up his mind for me…”

Consort Lian's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, Huai'er is ignorant and talking nonsense. Please do not listen to his words."

After speaking, Consort Lian looked at her son, "Huai'er, do you like the tiger in your hand?"

The seventh prince looked at his mother and nodded.

"Then are you willing to give the tiger you have to someone else?"

The seventh prince glanced at Emperor Mingcheng and saw that Emperor Mingcheng was looking at him with hope.

The seventh prince gripped the tiger tightly in his hand, remembering what his mother often said to him: "If you like something, hold on to it tightly, and never let it go."

After a moment, he shook his head at Emperor Mingcheng.

"I like tigers, and this one is mine."

Upon hearing this, Consort Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

So, a few days later.

Lu Hanting, who was far away in Tongzhou, received a secret letter delivered by fast horse from the capital.

The message contained only a few words: "Return to Beijing immediately."

Ru Feng could tell from the cold glint in his master's eyes after reading the letter that the emperor must disagree.

He asked cautiously, "Your Highness, shall we set off back to the capital now?"

"Go back!"

Ru Feng felt relieved, thinking that he could finally go back.

Just as he got up to go out and make arrangements, Lu Hanting seemed to have thought of something.

"and many more!"

Like the wind, it remains uncomprehended.

“You leave some people here to keep an eye on things; I’m worried something might happen in Tongzhou.”

Rufeng nodded.

The next day.

Lu Hanting withdrew the soldiers who were guarding the villa, and Shen Bazhi and his entourage regained their freedom.

on the official road.

Lu Hanting looked at Shen Bazhi, who was in the lead, and said, "Releasing you today does not mean you are truly free."

One day I will utterly raze Chuzhou to the ground.

"Shen awaits that day."

Shen Bazhi remained calm as he spoke.

The two men locked eyes for a long time.

Until He Yuyan poked her head out of the sedan chair.

"Sir..."

Lu Hanting turned around and said to the guards behind him, "Let's go!"

The group left in a hurry.

Shen Bazhi stared at the shadow of the sedan chair ahead, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"My dear 'sworn brother,' this person has already gone far away, yet you're still reluctant to part with him!"

Seeing Shen Bazhi staring at her for a long time, Qingying felt a pang of jealousy.

Shen Bazhi withdrew his gaze and glanced at her.

"Red Widow, I'm afraid our plans will have to be brought forward..."

"You mean?"

Qingying looked at him and saw Shen Bazhi nod to her.

She gave a bitter smile and said, "I understand. I'll arrange it."

Beijing.

Wu Weiwei has been incredibly busy lately.

Because the brothel was vandalized by Chen Furong's men, she led a team to arrange for repairs.

Inside the Yihong Courtyard, Wu Weiwei was discussing the design and layout of the clinic with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan held the design drawings that Wu Weiwei had given him, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Master, if we follow your design, I'm afraid it won't be completed within ten days?"

Wu Weiwei frowned.

"How long will it take?"

At least half a month.

Half a month it is!

She heard that the Crown Prince had rescued the female lead and was now rushing back to the capital from Tongzhou.

The reason for wanting to complete the project within ten days was to prevent things from changing after the two people returned.

Which man would allow his woman to show her face in public and do business, especially since she was just a concubine in a noble household?

Although the prince might try to stop her, she would always find a way to get him to agree to let her do business.

In addition to the Beauty Cream and Noble Lady Nourishing Cream, she has now developed several other beauty products thanks to the efforts of Granny Mei and Sister Chen.

In addition to products, she also plans to incorporate some modern beauty treatments into ancient practices.

Despite her lack of skills, she frequently visits high-end beauty salons for treatments and experiences.

She knew that noblewomen in ancient times also competed with each other and enjoyed being admired and pampered. She knew how wonderful it felt to be high above others and served by them.

She doesn't have any trouble finding technicians.

With Granny Mei's skills, she can definitely help her train a group of talented people.

Once the shop is decorated and set up, it will surely be a hit.

The thought of money flowing into her pocket filled Wu Weiwei with joy.

Even if the female lead returns by then, and even if she stirs up trouble in the prince's ear, she probably won't be able to control her economic lifeline.

Speaking of this, she remembered her schedule for the day.

She looked at Lin Fan.

"By the way, are you going to take her back?"

Wu Weiwei's words startled Lin Fan for a moment, then he realized she was talking about Wang Xiulan.

How has she been lately?

He spoke with difficulty.

Wu Weiwei smiled as she looked at the man in front of her, thinking he had finally come to his senses, but now she realized he really was a lovesick fool.

Fortunately, she did not kick Wang Xiulan out.

"Not bad, good food and drink, good accommodation."

Not only was she good, but Wu Weiwei didn't ask her to do any other chores at Biyunting besides serving tea.

Because of this, Lingfu complained to her.

It is said that Wang Xiulan likes to run to other courtyards every day when she has nothing to do, as if Biyunting has imprisoned her.

She received her monthly allowance from her master, yet she acted like a young lady, even needing to be called to meals.

Because Wu Weiwei has been busy lately, she hasn't had time to pay attention to Wang Xiulan, which is really her fault.

She glanced at Lin Fan. If it weren't for the manager in front of her, why would she need to support a fake heiress like Wang Xiulan?

Hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Lin Fan immediately felt relieved.

"Thank you for your help during this time."

But it's impossible for us to be together anymore.

If possible, could you please arrange a job for her, as a way of extending my employment contract for another year?

Lin Fan knew, of course, that Wu Weiwei's beauty clinic needed to hire female assistants.

Xiulan couldn't possibly live in the Marquis's mansion forever.

Besides, her parents had passed away, and her good-for-nothing brother was unreliable.

If that's the case, it's better to let her support herself by finding a job.

Hearing Lin Fan say this, Wu Weiwei smiled.

Of course, that's no problem.

He got a year's contract extension for just one job, which is a great deal.

"If that's the case, then let's leave it at that for today."

By the way, how's the construction progress at Butterfly Valley Resort?

At this point, Lin Fan was about to report to Wu Weiwei.

"The project is progressing normally over there. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Wu Weiwei nodded in satisfaction.

She wasn't an expert on the Butterfly Valley project, so she simply handed it all over to Lin Feng.

Just as she was about to leave, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Boss, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you..."

Wu Weiwei turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"I have been training two apprentices recently, and I have already assessed their character."

I'm here today to introduce them to you, our employer.

A short while later, two young men walked in.

"Pang Tuo greets his master, wishing him abundant blessings and lasting beauty."

Hearing his greetings, Wu Weiwei raised an eyebrow.

Turns out this fat guy is quite the flatterer.

"What's your name?"

Wu Weiwei looked at another young man.

The young man who was called out stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "Qingzhu greets the master."

"Green bamboo?"

Wu Weiwei looked at his handsome face, but she was extremely shocked.

Could it be that he is...?
