The princess is coquettish and coquettish, conquering the emperor's master

Meng Qing turned her face away, unwilling to answer his question.

But his strength was unbelievably strong, and he directly straightened her face, strangling her wrist red.

"answer me!"

"Hate? How dare I hate you..."

She laughed at herself and bowed her head sadly.

It's been two lives.

Just because she was afraid of the word "scrupulous", she repeatedly harmed him. Could it be Xiao Yan who was wrong?
No, the wrong person is her...

Meng Qing collapsed powerlessly, but was tightly protected by Xiao Yan.

Seeing Meng Qing like this, he finally couldn't get angry anymore. He licked the girl's cheek after crying, and coaxed her like a child: "I'm wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Meng Qing smiled wryly.

He used to be as proud and dignified as him, and now he will humbly beg for her forgiveness...

She collapsed into his arms, "OK."

Only then was Xiao Yan satisfied, and he kissed the girl's forehead with his cold lips, his eyes full of doting.

this moment.

Maybe she can enjoy the last time with Xiao Yan, and she will never have another chance in the future.

She wanted to get rid of him, and justifiably erased him from the history books of Chu State.

……

The east wind comes, and the flowers and plants are luxuriant.

Today is the Imperial Merchant Election held by the Siwu Bureau in the Outer Palace, and those who are qualified to participate in the election can enter the palace with tokens.

Meng Qing changed into a court lady's attire and sneaked into the Secretary's office after going to court early.

She mingled in the red column plate, quietly paying attention to Lu Youzhu.

From the inside to the outside of the office, there are a total of ten business owners, but except for a woman named Lu Youzhu, the rest are all men.

Liu Shulai, the chief of the Bureau of Situation, was sitting above the hall, and the eunuchs beside him presented the finished products brought by these merchants to him one by one.

The rouge and gold wares in front of them are just mediocre in appearance, but when it's Lu's turn, they stand out in an instant.

Liu Shulai's eyes lit up, and he pinched his throat and asked, "Which company is this?"

Lu Youzhu got up and made a bow, "Hui Gonggong, it's the Lu family's business name."

As soon as she got up, there were sighs all around, everyone was talking about how the helm of the dignified Lu family shop was a woman.

Even Liu Shulai hesitated for a moment.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing, you sit down first."

Lu Youzhu sat down slowly and stretched his neck to look at the rouge and gold utensils handed over by other merchants.

Standing below, Meng Qing was also worried about the outcome of the election for the imperial merchant.

She was going to say hello to Liu Shulai and ask him to pay more attention to the Lu family shop, but Lu Youzhu refused and insisted on winning the election.

Now it seems that she still has to give her a hand.

Meng Qing retreated quietly, went around a few times to find the head manager, mama, and whispered in her ear: "Mom, a message has been passed down from above, asking Boss Liu to take care of Lu's business."

The housekeeper's nanny had careful calculations in her eyes, and she still didn't quite believe Meng Qing's words.

"Is this true?"

Meng Qing's eyes suddenly turned fierce: "What do you think, Mommy?"

Naturally, the head nurse had seen Meng Qing. After seeing Meng Qing's face clearly, her legs softened and she was about to fall to the ground, but she helped her up again.

"Did you understand what I said?"

"Yes, the servant understands."

After finishing speaking, the head nurse hurriedly walked through the corridor to the hall.

Meng Qing also quietly followed her into the room.

This is the office lobby.

Liu Shulai casually glanced at the ten merchants in the hall, but his corner of the eye glanced at Lu Youzhu regrettably.

The things she presented were good, but in the final analysis, the shopkeeper of the Lu family shop was a woman, and the King of Chu would never grant it to a woman.

He raised his orchid fingers and pinched the duck's throat.

"Everyone who comes here knows that if you pass the election for the Imperial Merchant, you will have to work for the Royal Merchant in the future. Just by putting the word 'Imperial Merchant' on your business name, you will have a great reputation in the Chu Kingdom in the future!"

"Now our family thinks that the Liu family's business name is really good, it can be..."

"and many more!"

The head nurse interrupted Liu Shulai when she entered.

Liu Shulai was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

The manager's mother blessed her body and said: "Director Liu, come with me."

All the merchants in the hall didn't know what happened.

He was worried that he would miss something important, so he helped the case got up, shook the whisk and followed the head nurse out.

Cuixin's gaze followed Liu Shulai, and she whispered, "Shopkeeper, what do you think is wrong?"

Lu Youzhu was also at a loss.

"I don't know, it should be dealing with something important."

Everyone thought that Liu Shulai's visit would take half a year, but Liu Shulai came back to announce the emperor's final preference before some people had even had a sip of tea.

A flattering smile appeared on Liu Shulai's face, and he walked to the front of the lobby.

He announced: "This time, our family is blind and misread the wrong company name."

"What does Mr. Liu mean by this? Who is the ultimate winner?"

"Yes, Manager Liu, we are all waiting for you."

Lu Youzhu knelt quietly and waited on the spot, but she was extremely nervous inside, her little hands clenched the hem of her skirt so tightly that she almost twisted into a twist.

Meng Qing stood silently behind her, observing Lu Youzhu gently.

Liu Shulai said impatiently: "Everyone is so anxious, isn't our family announcing this?"

The shopkeepers of the merchants kept silent.

He continued: "The selection of the imperial merchants this time should be the Lu family's firm."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and they all exclaimed to express their dissatisfaction.

"How could it be the Lu family business? How can a woman run for the imperial business?"

"Yeah! It's not fair at all!"

"The majestic businessman has now reached the point where he is stealing and playing tricks, don't worry about it!"

Liu Shulai frowned and said in dissatisfaction: "Before you say this, why don't you reflect on whether the rouge and goldware you make are half as good as those made by the Lu family? If not, then don't speak out here!"

Some merchant shopkeepers felt ashamed, so they all shut up.

Liu Shulai suddenly showed a flattering smile and walked towards Lu Youzhu. The eunuch beside him was holding a red silk tray with a waist card of an imperial merchant on it.

He said: "Shopkeeper Lu, hurry up and take this badge."

Lu Youzhu stared happily at the carefully carved waist badge in the tray. After receiving this waist badge, her shop will definitely be famous all over the world!
Become the number one firm in Chu State!

Lu Youzhu suppressed the excitement in his heart, and tremblingly took the tray with his creamy white palm.

She respectfully said: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your appreciation."

Liu Shulai flattered: "What's the matter with shopkeeper Lu? In the future, our family will rely on the recommendation of shopkeeper Lu."

Lu Youzhu heard something was wrong.

Could it be that someone is secretly helping her behind her back?

It is true that Liu Shulai's first announcement was not the Lu's business name, but the Liu's, and he was called out once in the middle...

Could it be the emperor...

Lu Youzhu felt a little disappointed, looking at the heavy tray, he suddenly felt that he was not worthy of virtue.

She swallowed her sore throat and said, "My father-in-law is serious."
