Late at night, in the Imperial Study.

The emperor rubbed the tofu recipe in his hand, and his slightly old face showed a rare coldness against the backdrop of the lights.

He had been silent for a long time, and the chief eunuch Zhang De, who was waiting on the side, finally couldn't hold back, and stepped forward to remind: "Your Majesty, it's dark now, and you have to go to the court tomorrow morning, so it's better to rest early." ”

The emperor finally put down the prescription and said to Zhang De: "You say, why did this person change? ”

His tone was puzzled, but Zhang De knew that the emperor was not asking himself, but just feeling.

Sure enough, the emperor quickly said: "When I first met her, she was obviously an innocent and lovely little girl, why did she become such a sinister and vicious person now?" Zining just found a little good thing and wanted to open her own restaurant, how could it be in her mouth that she became competing with the people for profit and hiding her scheming? ”

As soon as Zhang De heard it, he knew that the "she" in the emperor's mouth meant Zhao Guifei, no, now she should be called Zhao Concubine.

He didn't answer, and he didn't want to tell the emperor about this so-called "little good thing", but it had only appeared for a few days, and he had already earned 10,000 taels of silver for the eldest princess.

Such a terrible power to accumulate wealth is that Zhang De himself is surprised.

The emperor sighed again, he really liked Zhao Guifei, after all, he met her in the best years of the other party, and she had been obediently by his side all these years, and she had not done anything out of the ordinary.

But compared to Zhao Guifei, the queen's position in his heart is heavier.

After all, they are a husband and wife who have been together for many years, and Wei Zining is the only daughter of him and his old wife, so how can the emperor not love this child?

Now, for the sake of a tofu, Zhao Guifei tried her best to frame Zining, if it weren't for the child's kindness and took the initiative to sacrifice the recipe, I don't know how to be arranged by Zhao Guifei's side.

His only concubine just wants to go out and do a business, what's wrong with her having the ability and ability to do something she likes?

The emperor's daughter, do you have to listen to the rules of Confucianism?

The emperor shook his head, thinking to himself that this incident had also taught him a lesson. In the future, he still has to take care of this daughter, otherwise Zi Ning is afraid that he will be eaten by that group of jackals!

……

One night later, Zhao Guifei, who was originally favored in the harem, fell, and I don't know why she fell.

The people who got the news were shocked, wondering why the concubine who was still beautiful the day before, but after one night's work, she fell directly.

The inner lover who knew hurriedly went back to tell his family that he would be more respectful to the queen and the eldest princess in the future. I didn't know, and I silently clamped my tail, and the officials who had been in contact with Zhao Guifei before were even more nervous, for fear that the emperor would find out about their small movements.

When she learned of this, the eldest princess was in the queen's Fengyi Palace.

The mother and daughter were slightly surprised at first, and then Wei Zining couldn't help laughing: "Su Hengyu is really right, listening to her move is really right." ”

Wei Zining was very grateful for her previous wisdom at the moment, judging from the news revealed by the palace maids, it must be that the third prince failed to get the tofu recipe, so she took Zhao Guifei to her father to give her eye medicine.

But they didn't know that the tofu recipe herself had already been dedicated to the emperor, so she was countered by her.

The queen is also a smart person, and she quickly figured out the trick, she patted the back of her daughter's hand and said, "I heard the rumors in Beijing before, and I thought that Miss Su was a bad one. Now it seems that this is the real smart person. ”

"This matter is also your luck, then Miss Su expected the opportunity in advance, so you didn't suffer this loss. In the future, you should be more vigilant and learn more from that Miss Su. ”

Wei Zining nodded and said, "We plan to renovate my rouge shop later, and she seems to have a new recipe in her hand." We plan to wait for the business to be on the right track, so we will take 10% of the profits and open a Ci'an Hall in Beijing. ”

"Tzu An Tang? What is it used for? The queen was curious.

Wei Zining explained: "It is specially used to take care of those lonely women and orphans, and we will ask someone to teach them to read and write, and teach them a trade. At first, they could be admitted to live in the Tzu An Hall, but after they left the school, they had to pay back these fees......"

Wei Ziningzai carefully explained his and Su Hengyu's arrangements to the queen, and finally said: "But we may have to do this under your banner, but I don't know if the queen mother will allow it?" ”

Touching her daughter's head, the queen smiled: "This is a good thing, how could I disagree?" Now that you're older, you're in a good way to get things done. Do it with confidence, and if you need any help, just tell the queen mother. ”

Wei Zining nodded obediently, even if her mother didn't say this, she would do it.

In the end, the affairs in the palace involve the royal family, and people outside dare not discuss it casually.

When Su Hengyu heard the news, he only muttered in his heart, and then ordered the people in Zhuangzi not to mention this matter again.

She basically packed up the things she wanted to bring back to the Hou Mansion, so on a sunny day, Su Hengyu took Mama Qin, Ziyun and others to embark on the road back to the Hou Mansion for the New Year.

At this time, the New Year is only five days away.

Su Hengyu came back quietly, and the Wang family only knew that the eldest daughter had come back after listening to the reports from the people below.

Mama Qin went to Tai'an Courtyard to clean up, and Su Hengyu took Ziyun to meet the Wang family.

The mother and daughter met again after a month, and the atmosphere between the two was even more awkward than before.

Fortunately, Mama Li was talking and enlivening the atmosphere, and this not very wonderful meeting finally ended successfully.

After seeing the Wang family, Su Hengyu heard that Hou Ye was not at home, so he didn't go to the front yard to disturb.

She was going to go back to her yard first and take someone to clean it again. She has been away for more than a month, and if she wants to come to the house, the maid will not think of helping her clean the yard.

It's just that they are halfway there, but the group is blocked by Su Zhongli, who heard the news and came to the back garden early to wait for them.

The young man was no different from before, looking at his sister's eyes with contempt, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you won't come back if you go out, why did you go back to the house after only a month?" It's not good to live outside, don't you regret it? ”

"My father and mother asked me to come back, if the second brother doesn't want to see me, you can go and tell my mother, I'll just leave." Su Hengyu said simply.

Su Zhongli's expression changed suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about, I didn't say I didn't want to see you!" Don't blame me! ”

"Yes, sister, the second brother didn't mean that, don't misunderstand him."

Before the two of them could say a word, Su Baozhu's voice broke in.
