Sure enough, as Fu Yunshen expected, on the second day of rest, the emperor summoned Wei Chihuo into the palace and applied for him on the grounds of "one room is not cured, why should the world and the country be".

Wei Chi Hui was very annoyed when he learned that his wife had done in the palace last night, and when he returned to the mansion, he reprimanded Mrs. Wei Chi and ordered her to meditate on her own mistakes, temporarily depriving her of the power of the family.

At the same time, there was also news in the palace that Ling Guifei was arrogant and arrogant, and she was grounded for self-reflection when she collided with the queen.

As for Na Honglu Siqing, in order to save his son's life, he took the initiative to resign.

Ling Xie's sensible book pleaded guilty, it stands to reason that Ling Guifei's mistakes have nothing to do with him, if it was before, the emperor would definitely have to comfort him in turn without blaming himself.

But this time, the emperor ignored it, and even deliberately snubbed him.

Ling Xie realized that the emperor had taken the blame for this incident on him.

Ling Xie was really wronged this time, he didn't have any brains and wouldn't break ground on Tai Sui's head. This time it was completely Ling Guifei's own opinion, he just carried the black cauldron.

After this incident, the emperor felt that the Ling family's hand was stretched too long, and he even disregarded the face of the Son of Heaven and did such pickled things in the palace, which challenged the emperor's authority.

Sacred Heart was furious and dissatisfied with Ling Xie, and the officials of the DPRK and China belittled several people one after another, all of whom were related to the Ling family.

Ling Xie claimed that he was ill, did not intercede for those people, and completely stayed out of the matter, winning the emperor's sympathy by showing weakness.

No one would have expected that the jealousy of the women in the back house could affect the situation in the previous dynasty.

Zhou Jingrong didn't care about those, he only got punished for the bad guys, and he felt bad for Wei Chirou.

After a period of calm and unwavering, Fu Yunshen brought good news, and he secretly got in touch with Qi Ruyan.

Zhou Jingrong couldn't wait to ask: "Aren't the guards in that courtyard like an iron wall, how did you get in touch with her?" Also, what is her situation? ”

Fu Yunshen said slowly: "I used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, taking advantage of the fifth prince's arrival in the other courtyard to create chaos. When the fifth prince encountered an accident, he sent a guard from a separate courtyard to escort him away. I took advantage of the slack of guards and sneaked into the courtyard to see Qi Ruyan. According to what she said, it is true that as we had guessed before, she was kidnapped and imprisoned here by the Five Princes, not voluntarily. So when she saw you in the courtyard that day, she didn't demolish you, but cooperated with you in a play. But she was also under surveillance at the time, and she couldn't explain her situation to you. Later, Yuhuashuang was a big seller, and she saw the cartoon on the package and knew that it was from you, so she sent you a distress message by hiding a note in the bottle. ”

Zhou Jingrong was stunned, isn't this the plot of the domineering president imprisoning love?

It turned out that after Qi Ruyan left Puhe County with the money Zhou Jingrong gave her, she came to another city to settle down.

She originally wanted to buy a land, open a shop, buy a few servants, and live the life of a free and easy rich woman as Mrs. Yang said.

Who would have thought that when she went to the temple to make incense, she rescued an injured young man on the way, which would frustrate her wish to live freely.

She was kind-hearted, but the son was a poisonous snake, because of the grace of saving her life, she was angry, and she was angry when she failed to court, and directly took her for herself, and forcibly took her to Beijing, placed in another courtyard, and raised her as an outer room.

The son who bit Qi Ruyan back is the fifth prince.

In the past, Qi Ruyan was rescued by Yang Ruyuan, but because of selfishness, he framed his reputation, saying that he was his outer room, and he became the wolf who beat Mr. Dongguo.

Now, she saved the five princes with kindness, but she was imprisoned by the revenge of the five princes, and really became an outer room and became Mr. Dongguo who was bitten by wolves.

Zhou Jingrong couldn't help but sigh, should it be said that it is a cycle of cause and effect.

However, Zhou Jingrong still has reservations about the authenticity of what Qi Ruyan said, after all, she is a person with a "criminal record".

Fu Yunshen also said: "Well, it can't be ruled out that the fifth prince knows that Qi Ruyan and us are old acquaintances, so they use her to carry out counter-plots." ”

Zhou Jingrong said worriedly: "Then what should we do, should we help her?" ”

Fu Yunshen smiled and shook his head: "I have made it clear to her that she wants to get rid of the Five Princes, but she can't do it with my strength." So I pointed out a way for her, asking her to secretly take refuge in the prince, and in the future, the prince's great cause can be accomplished, and she will naturally be rewarded for her meritorious deeds. ”

Zhou Jingrong asked, "Did she agree?" ”

Fu Yunshen nodded, and Zhou Jingrong couldn't believe it: "So happy? ”

She thought about it, and still had some doubts about Qi Ruyan's motives: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with following the five princes, if the five princes can bring down the crown prince, then won't she be able to fly on the branches in the future?" ”

Fu Yunshen smiled, obviously thinking of one thing with Zhou Jingrong: "I asked her the same way, and she said that she was scared by you." ”

Zhou Jingrong was puzzled: "Me? ”

Fu Yunshen affirmed: "Well, she said, it was you who made her see that there are still intrigues in the ordinary courtyard, wouldn't the Houmen Deep Palace even more of a mutual conflict?" Although she is greedy for vanity, she is more life-saving and yearns for freedom. ”

Zhou Jingrong didn't expect that she was just bent on helping Yang Ruyuan get out of the predicament, and her selfishness was also so that Fu Yunshen would not be implicated, but it invisibly affected Qi Ruyan's attitude towards life.

However, this effect is good, and she can understand that even as a woman who is bound by the harsh treatment of etiquette, she has an independent spirit and the ability to live, which is more secure than relying on anyone.

Zhou Jingrong saw Qi Ruyan's transformation, and strengthened her determination to encourage women to be self-reliant and self-reliant, so as to strive for this society to achieve equality between men and women as soon as possible.

She drew this good wish into a new comic, and the fifteenth day of the new month, which she had named at will, was finally officially unveiled.

In the comics, the fairy world where the twelve fairy grasses live is an ideal country where everyone is equal, not based on the class of origin, only by strength to speak, regardless of the difference between men and women, which has brought a great ideological impact to people.

Because the comic sets that the twelve fairy grasses came to the world to be tribulated, the content of the comic is set to the cool text routine of the woman being oppressed, rising up to fight, and finally counterattacking gorgeously.

The first story on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is based on Fu Chunhua's incident: the bitter, cruel and vicious Mother-in-law Diao, the husband with a weak personality and a foolish husband, and the wife who has been oppressed and harsh for a long time and endured humiliation.

Although these characters are traceable in real life, Zhou Jingrong uses the exaggerated characteristics of comics to make this kind of plot as nonsensical as possible, and does not make people feel that he is deliberately alluding to the current situation of society.

Zhou Jingrong wants to encourage women to work hard and improve their social status, but in this era of unfree speech, she can only do it secretly.

She is afraid that she will be accused of some kind of rebellion, demagoguery, and inciting the emotions of the masses, and she will be given a literary prison, even the nine clans or something, she can't stand it.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month set off a craze in Beijing, and comics, a literary form that tells stories through paintings, also brought a revolution to the literary market of the Xia Dynasty.

The update on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is in full swing, which has further driven Qingyan's business, and the peripheral products of comics have also come into being, and Zhou Jingrong has made a lot of money.

But because of the birth of Yuhuashuang, other rouge gouache shops felt the crisis, and they united to resist Qingyan.

For example, all the shops that sell rouge gouache have reduced their prices in unison, with the exception of Qingyan, whose prices remain high. Although this method is simple, it is also directly effective, and it does disperse a lot of Qingyan customers.

Another example is the alliance of all shops that sell rouge gouache, where customers can buy products across stores, buy something in one store, and get a discount on the basis of the shopping voucher in another store.

Although it can't save much money, it has been the case throughout the ages, as long as the word "discount" is added, it will attract countless people to bend their waists, which will take away some of the customers with clean faces.

Zhou Jingrong felt very aggrieved about this, and complained to Fu Yunshen: "Qingyan only has two products, Yuhua cream and hair cream, which are just skin care products, and those shops that also sell skin care products are against Qingyan." But those shops that sell rouge, incense powder, and lipstick all belong to the ranks of makeup, and what is the competition with a shop that sells skin care products, what kind of excitement do they follow! ”

Fu Yunshen smiled: "What do you think, which woman doesn't want to be born beautiful, her skin is like clotted fat, Yuhua cream is mainly for skin care, once the skin care is good, where do you need those rouge gouaches for makeup." So, you did steal all the shop's business. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, of course they must unite to suppress Qingyan. ”

Uh, okay, Zhou Jingrong thought about it, and actually felt that what Fu Yunshen said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

So, this kind of business competition is normal, and she can only be isolated and excluded?

Despite the difficult market environment, the ladies in the palace have not been affected, and they are still the main customers of Qingyan.

However, it is difficult to serve the nobles, and you need to be careful and careful, and you must not go wrong, otherwise your life will be in danger.

Although Zhou Jingrong was very cautious, every time someone from the palace came to procure, she would carefully check it several times to make sure that there was no problem in her link, but she couldn't avoid it, and Yuhuashuang still had a problem.

This morning, Zhou Jingrong went to ask Mrs. Fu to say goodbye, and when she came back, she wanted to sleep a little more, when someone suddenly came to the palace.

The queen summoned Zhou Jingrong to the palace for an audience.

As soon as Zhou Jingrong heard the word palace now, his heart chuckled, and his intuition was not a good thing.

Sure enough, for the sake of Mrs. Fu's face, the father-in-law who delivered the decree mentioned to Zhou Jingrong: "There was a master who had a miscarriage last night, and the problem was in the Yuhua cream she often used." The queen summoned her wife into the palace, not because she suspected that she was involved in the frame-up, but because she asked a few words as usual. ”

Although the father-in-law said that the cloud was light and light, Zhou Jingrong still trembled in her heart, and always felt that things were not so simple.
