Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Green bamboo family
The Palace of Mental Cultivation.

Qi Xingyun drank two cups of lotus seed wine and some tonics. At this time, his face was already flushed. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that he had been poisoned by Gu poison.

Yang Ruoqing still felt distressed. You must know that the Lucky Mountain Sea Pearl is not just a beautiful glass bead, but more importantly, a bead represents an extremely generous reward.

This is the real grand prize, not to mention the physical objects, but the silver taels, which are worth 1 taels.

Now I have to pay two rewards...

Yang Ruoqing gritted her teeth after thinking about it, and simply added another reward, a total of three lucky mountain and sea pearls, which seemed more reasonable, at least it would not be seen as a tricky trick at a glance.

"Your Majesty, this is the list. Apart from that, what else do you need to prepare for Ningyuan Pavilion?"

Yang Ruoqing took out a list and put it on the table. She sent someone to clean the Ningyuan Pavilion, and asked Fu Yurou to go to the store to buy a batch of supplies.

Originally, these were all prepared by the palace, but now Qi Xingyun's plan is to try not to use the power of the royal family, otherwise, any clues may bring the whole plan to a halt.

Qi Xingyun picked it up and looked at it casually for a while.

There are all the materials purchased above, of course, many of them are purchased from within Yang's firm.

Even Yang Ruoqing herself still needs to follow the established regulations, that's why the purchase is not directly taken home.

A well-established system is for people to follow. If Yang Ruoqing takes the lead in not following the rules, how can anyone expect others to follow the rules?

So start from the big boss in charge, which is called leading by example.

"There are not enough cooks here, so we need to prepare a few more, and then prepare them for the test dishes..."

"Also here, the strength of the guards is not enough, how can you be sure that no one came down from the mountain..."

Qi Xingyun looked around, and casually pointed out a few things that were inappropriate.

Sure enough, Qi Xingyun's handling ability is strong, much better than Fu Yurou's, because this list was made by Fu Yurou.

After Fu Yurou got together with Wang Sa, she gradually began to integrate into the core of the Yang family, and she also accumulated rich experience in managing the huge Ningyuan Pavilion.

The old people who used to be in charge of Ningyuan Pavilion have already retired to their hometown to rest, and they were replaced by the younger generation headed by Fu Yurou.

"Aren't you going to tell Empress Zhao, Empress Dowager Han, and Concubine Xian about this?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Empress Zhao's old father, the British Duke, is the major shareholder of the World Business Alliance established by Yang Ruoqing. The new trick of the shareholding system has been carried forward by the British Duke.

As for Empress Dowager Han, that was the former emperor's concubine. Empress Dahan had passed away, and Empress Xiao Han was still living in the harem. But since Qi Xingyun succeeded to the throne, Empress Dowager Xiao Han also ate fast and recited Buddha's name, not caring about worldly affairs.

It's just about the big and small matters in the palace, and the extremely important ones are also communicated with her.

Qi Xingyun's expression changed, and then he made a decision.

"If you don't tell them, it's a big matter and it's not appropriate to spread it too much." Qi Xingyun shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty has the final say." Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"By the way, is Concubine Ming's tablet listed again?" Qi Xingyun suddenly thought of this matter.

"Of course it's done. You can see it when you go there. It won't be too late to sacrifice after His Majesty goes down." Yang Ruoqing said.

The past grievances between Concubine Ming and Emperor Qi Wei are over, what is important is that Concubine Ming who committed suicide in Ningyuan Pavilion is actually Qi Xingyun's real grandmother, her real grandmother.

Qi Xingyun had never seen this concubine Ming before, but it was always the late emperor's wish to worship the concubine Ming again.

It's just that the first emperor never did it. There used to be a large number of forces in the civil and military ministers, as well as the harem, who opposed worshiping the concubine Ming, which made the first emperor unable to do whatever he wanted.

But in Qi Xingyun's generation, there are fewer and fewer old courtiers, as well as people from the previous two eras, and their influence on the court has become weaker and weaker.

After years of management, he was finally able to offer sacrifices to Concubine Ming in a grand manner.

"That's how it is. I'll arrange it after the last match of the Imperial Guard."

……

Yang Ruoqing left the palace, took a carriage, entered a street ahead, and within a few steps, was blocked by a middle-aged man in white.

Yang Ruoqing lifted the curtain and saw an acquaintance.

"Master Lu, have you returned to Beijing?" Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"Mrs. Yang, I ordered a table of meals at a nearby restaurant. May I take the liberty to invite you?" Lu Yuanding bowed his hands and saluted.

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Yang Ruoqing got out of the car with Hongxiu and two hidden guards, and followed Lu Yuanding to a nearby restaurant.

It's true that Lu Yuanding was a decent person, what he wanted to do when he stopped Yang Ruoqing on the way back home, it was unknown.

Yang Ruoqing wanted to see what Lu Yuanding really wanted.

There is indeed a good restaurant near here, called Qingzhu Renjia.

This restaurant is a garden, with green bamboo growing everywhere in it, and besides that, a large number of sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted.

As soon as she entered Qingzhu's house, Yang Ruoqing could already smell the tangy aroma.

"Welcome distinguished guests!"

The two servants in blue robes bowed to salute. They both had very distinctive blue robes. There were many bamboos embroidered with thin threads on the clothes, and the workmanship was very fine.

"Mrs. Yang, Miss Hongxiu, please come inside!" Lu Yuanding raised his hand and said.

Along the way, the breath of green bamboo mixed with the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus makes people feel refreshed.

After walking a section of cobbled stone road, we entered an independent pavilion.

At this time, there were already two people waiting at the door.

Seeing the faces of the two, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly.

One is a plump man wearing bamboo brocade clothes, and the other is a middle-aged man who is handsome and has very deep eyes.

He is clearly one of the great masters of Confucianism in the world, Feng Yueheng, one of the leaders of Tangling Academy!
This Feng Yueheng is no ordinary person.

At least Yang Ruoqing had experienced how powerful this Feng Yueheng was last time.

Originally, he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and lure Feng Yueheng to take action, but in the end when the imperial court was fighting head-on, only some little ones jumped out, and the real leader Feng Yueheng did not appear.

And the other person who can stand with Feng Yueheng is not an unknown person, it's just that Yang Ruoqing doesn't know him.

Yang Ruoqing only knows one percent of the powerful people in Daqi at most, and more people have only heard of them but never met them.

"Mrs. Yang, let me introduce you. These two are Feng Yueheng from Dongling family, owner of Qingzhu family, and wealthy businessman Liu Ruhai."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yang Ruoqing smiled lightly.

Just exchanged a few words.

"Madam Yang, let's talk inside." Feng Yueheng showed a refined smile.

"Madam Yang, please." Liu Ruhai waved his sleeves and showed a simple and honest smile.

After entering the pavilion, you can see that there are tables and chairs inside, and a table of exquisite dishes is steaming hot.
