This made Song Qian's movements pause slightly, and then replied thoughtfully, "I was busy with errands at that time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I just heard Ah Jin say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carried out great reforms in the imperial capital, which made the people and many officials and the royal family miserable. It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not have found the right way. And there seems to be some chaos in this court, and I always see Ah Jin going to the palace or going out to do errands. The rest, it's nothing."

"I see, then I know. Song Niangzi doesn't have to worry, I just heard Zeng County's order say that the imperial capital has not been peaceful recently, so I wondered if something had happened, so I asked you." Ji Changye smiled slightly and comforted Song Qian, and then he picked up the porridge bowl and drank it all and diverted the topic and said, "Song Niangzi, it's not early, let's rest early." Didn't you say you were going to Chen's house tomorrow to talk about business? Bad rest can delay things. Keep these things and let Qinglan and them clean them up."

Song Qian didn't ask too much about what happened today, and picked up the empty bowl next to him and said to Ji Changye, "It's just a few bowls, and there's nothing troublesome, so what about leaving them next door to clean up?" I'll be in the kitchen and clean it up in a few moments. So go and rest, you have been busy all day, you should have a good night's sleep." With that, she left with the chopsticks.

Ji Changye had no choice but to obey her and return to her room, untie her clothes and rest.

The next day, after Song Qianmu sent the ingots to the academy by Changfeng, he turned back and packed up properly and prepared to go to the Chen family's shop.

"Song Niangzi, be careful on the road." Ji Changye walked out of the room, saw that Song Qian was about to leave, and hurriedly spoke.

Song Qian bowed slightly, and then left.

At this time, Ji Changye's mind couldn't help but think of the picture of Song Qian hugging him last night, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Mama Zhang, who took out the washed clothes to dry, looked at Ji Changye and just wore an undergarment, and then walked over and persuaded worriedly: "Lord, you are wearing so little, beware of the wind and cold."

Hearing Mama Zhang's voice, Ji Changye realized what he was doing at this time, and replied with a little embarrassed cough: "This king knows that this king just thinks that the air is very fresh this morning, so he came out. This king is going to change clothes, you come in later and take the clothes you have changed to wash, so that the study does not have to be cleaned, and there are some important things in it that are inconvenient to be exposed, if you lose something, you will be responsible, remember?"

"Yes, Lord." Mama Zhang bowed her head and came down.

Ji Changye still felt a little embarrassed, and he could clearly feel that the roots of his ears were hot, which made him feel a little mixed, after all, he thought of Song Qian. To hide his true thoughts, he turned and went back to his room, quickly closing the door.

But his strange side was still discovered by Mama Zhang, after all, when she looked up just now, Ji Changye's red ears were really strange, which made her guess that Ji Changye thought of someone, and this person was only Song Qian. Mama Zhang, who knew everything, got up and left here with a smile, happy for the two of them.

Within a quarter of an hour, Song Qian came to Chen's in a carriage.

Chen Jiaxi waited outside the shop as always, watching the simple carriage that Song Qian was riding slowly coming from a distance, he hurriedly straightened up, his eyes fell on the carriage, ready to wait at any time.

Although it is very likely that those who oppose him will think that he is clinging to the powerful and a snob, so as to spread rumors about him. But for Chen Jiaxi, he doesn't care whether these words are true or false, he just thinks that being able to cooperate with Song Qian is beneficial to him and harmless, and stupid people will treat her at the moment and look down on her.

After all, Song Qian is the regent princess, even if she doesn't do these businesses, relying on her own efforts, but just relying on the noble status of this princess, she can hold her head high in the imperial capital, which shows the rights she can have.

"Princess." Chen Jiaxi bowed his hand, also in order not to make too much movement outside and bring trouble to Song Qian.

Song Qian bowed slightly and got off the carriage and said, "Chen Gongzi hurry up, you don't need to be polite. I came here today to discuss the next cooperation with Chen Gongzi. We've made an appointment before, but we haven't had time, and today is finally our chance."

The two of them walked towards the shop, and Song Qian sighed.

"Thank you Princess, the princess said no, although it was a pity, but in the end it was good." Chen Jiaxi opened his mouth to answer, and then took Song Qian to the backyard, and after waving, the people below brought them two chairs.

After sitting down, Song Qian couldn't help but speak, "How much does Chen Gongzi want this time? I'm so good to go back and get ready." After making sufficient preparations this time, Song Qian didn't believe that anything else would go wrong.

"It's just the same. There is Princess Law. But there's one more thing I want to ask the princess." Chen Jiaxi wanted to speak and stopped, as if this matter was not so simple, otherwise he would not speak.

Song Qian was inevitably a little worried, but suddenly heard Chen Jiaxi explain this matter again: "Actually, the business of this cosmetics is very good, the fly in the ointment is that there are too few types, and the people want more, so they want to ask the princess to work harder."

Hearing what Chen Jiaxi meant, Song Qian replied thoughtfully, "This matter is a bit ...... Let me tell you the truth, there are many more of these cosmetics in the cosmetics store I owned. If you want Chen Gongzi or which one you think is good, you can tell me. I'll send someone to send the recipe directly, or send someone directly to deliver the finished things."

Chen Jiaxi naturally knew Song Qian's reputation in Sulou Town and what she had done, but in order to maintain the business between the two of them. So he replied, "These small things are really a bit time-consuming and laborious, so I have to trouble the princess." At this time, Chen Jiaxi no longer cared about what benefits he got from Song Qian from the future to satisfy himself.

After all, he investigated Miao Shuxuan's matter, and knew that she was now coveting Song Qian's cosmetics prescriptions and jealous of his business, and might do something excessive, so in order not to let himself get into trouble, he still kept to himself and did his own business, besides, relying on the power of his Chen family, if it wasn't for the sake of fame, I'm afraid Song Qian wouldn't cooperate. So he didn't care about Song Qian's affairs at all.

After discussing other matters, Song Qian got up and walked outside, ready to leave. Chen Jiaxi got up to see him off, sent him outside the carriage, and watched her get in the carriage and leave before turning around and going back to the shop.

Next, Song Qian came to the hot pot shop, looking at Liu An's figure busy here, the shop was full of people, many people were still queuing, and the business was very good. This made Song Qian very happy, and found Liu An, who was settling accounts, and asked, "Has anything happened in the shop recently? Or is it a strange person or something?"

According to Miao Shuxuan's character, Song Qiancai didn't believe that she wouldn't do anything to retaliate against herself, this cosmetics shop stared at her day and night, so she was worried about the hot pot shop.

Although he didn't know why Song Qian suddenly asked such a question, Liu An still thought about it carefully, and then replied, "Except for a few difficult guests, there are no other strange people or things. Business has been doing very well lately, and this is the income, you see." So he pushed the account book in front of Song Qian.

"I won't look at the accounts, you can handle the arrangements yourself. I'm just here to take a look, and I'm relieved that there is no problem here. By the way, later on, you can have someone send hot pot to my house, and the side dishes and the like will be according to the best set menu." Song Qian said to Liu An when he was leaving, and then left after he agreed.

After returning to the cosmetics shop, Song Qian suddenly found Li Xu wandering in the middle of a remote alley, thinking that he was waiting for him, so after seeing that no one was paying attention, Song Qian walked up to him and led him into the alley and asked, "Is there something wrong with you coming?" Or is there movement on Miao Shuxuan's side?"

"It's the Miao shopkeeper who has something to do, I went to work early today, the Miao shopkeeper came back and got something and left in a hurry, I watched her get into a carriage at the door, the carriage is not the Miao family's nor the one she usually makes, looking at the outside style, it looks a bit like other countries. I wonder why people from other countries come to such a remote town, shouldn't they go to the imperial capital or something? So I'm afraid that there will be any problems, so I'll tell you that I'm here." Li Xu spoke.

Song Qian frowned slightly after hearing this, she was interested in this

Things are also very strange, after all, I haven't really seen people from other countries since I came here, and I heard Ji Changye once say that several countries around him have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now although it is said that it is peaceful on the surface, it is actually still an undercurrent, otherwise there is no need for Ji Changye to lead troops to suppress it, so if the relationship is not good, Miao Shuxuan still has an intersection with it, and the meaning of this is extremely scary.

This matter is not simple, so Song Qian said to Li Xu, "I know, this matter can't be known to others, understand? If Miao Shuxuan still meets these people, you can tell me. You don't have to take care of the rest, I'll decide." If it is really the same as what he thinks, then this matter is not just a grudge between himself and her, it is likely to involve a political level, and it may alarm Ji Changye and the emperor at that time.

She can't afford this responsibility, so she must investigate it clearly, and if there is really a problem, it is necessary to tell Ji Changye to discuss.

Li Xu agreed, and then left here cautiously.

And Song Qian stopped for a while before leaving, after all, let others find out.

Because this matter was very important, Song Qian immediately found a trustworthy person to investigate clearly. Unexpectedly, the information she brought back shocked her.

"This Miao Shuxuan has been cooperating with these foreign businessmen for a long time, probably two years ago, but the things they cooperate with are not cosmetics or anything like that. Each transaction was sealed with a black cloth in a wooden box, and they were traded in the suburbs, where there was no one, so no one had discovered their whereabouts and movements for so long. This time, too, they went to the outskirts in the morning and moved a few boxes of things from the ruined temple. This Miao Shuxuan also told them to be careful, walking the mountain road will not be discovered, etc., I didn't dare to listen, I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I left quickly while they were on their way."

Listening to his words, Song Qian thought about the connection in surprise, and involuntarily sat on the chair.
