Sure enough, the queen's smile faded a bit just now.

But after Li Zhiyin finished speaking, the queen smiled and nodded again.

The Queen's emotions are indistinguishable, and they have already been deeply rooted in her bones. How could she easily reveal her emotions on such an occasion?

Mrs. Wen thought in horror, the Queen was clearly doing this for everyone present to see!

Mrs. Wen hurriedly stood up, walked to the middle and saluted the queen, "Your Majesty, my little girl is ignorant and asked such a stupid question. Please don't get angry with me."

"Children, it's normal to be simple and unable to hide things." The Queen smiled lightly, "I'm not to blame this time. It's just that since you know your mistake, you can't do it again in the future."

"Yes." Mrs. Wen said quickly.

The flower-viewing party ended with this unpleasant episode.

Mrs. Li Mumu specially waited for Li Zhiyin to come out, even though Mrs. Li was also there.

But Li Zhiyin maintained a superficial relationship with Mrs. Li, so it was natural for him to walk with Mrs. Li Mumu and Monk Shang, lagging far behind Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Shang held Li Zhiyin's hand and whispered, "It seems that Miss Nawen is interested in the position of Crown Princess."

Li Zhiyin sighed, thinking that she didn't want it yet, but judging from the Queen's attitude today, she was probably very likely to do so.

It's true that what you don't want comes, and the person who wants it doesn't get it.

Li Zhiyin did not say this. After all, he was in the palace, and there might be ears pricking up to listen.

Li Zhiyin just shook her head helplessly at Mrs. Shang.

Three days after returning from the flower viewing party, the boy Li Zhiyin sent to deliver a letter to Min Huilan also returned.

He also brought a letter from Min Huilan.

Min Huilan happily stated in the letter that she must be included in the freight store matter, and thanked Li Mumu and the others for not forgetting her about this matter.

She also said that she was in Chong'an now, and the freight store in Chong'an could be handled by her.

Li Mumu mentioned the specific matters in the letter, and Min Huilan wrote in reply to what Li Mumu said, detailing what she planned to do in Chong'an, and asked Li Mumu what he meant.

While Li Mumu was replying to Min Huilan, she thought that although ancient times were good, communication was really troublesome.

I hope the freight store will be better after it is built.

Even if they had Li Zhiyin send a servant to deliver the letter, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if ordinary people didn't have a servant to deliver the letter.

Li Mumu replied to the letter while talking to Mrs. Li Zhiyin and Monk Shang.

"Listening to what you say, the more I think we should open the freight store as soon as possible." Mrs. Shang said.

When the letter was delivered to Min Huilan, Li Mumu and the others set up a freight store in the capital.

Li Youkang has now fully taken over the affairs of Gujia Snacks.

Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwu went to other places to open freight stores respectively.

A freight shop not only needs a warehouse to store goods, but also has to prepare carriages. The investment is even greater than that of an errand shop or Gu's snack shop.

Fortunately, Gujia Snacks, Wangyou Xiaoxiao and Errand Shop are all making a steady stream of money.

Li Mumu is now a wealthy woman and can still afford the development of a freight store. However, the freight shop does not need to be opened in the city like other shops, and it is not open to the public anyway.

Therefore, I chose a warehouse outside the city. The space was large enough to accommodate a carriage, and the shop price was also much cheaper, so I could save some expenses.

Gu Shangyong and Gu Shangwei traveled around, choosing the location of the warehouse, buying carriages for transporting goods, and recruiting workers.

Although a little busier, the two of them worked hard.

Being busy is much better than being idle at home.

The two of them really couldn't stand being idle and doing nothing, so they felt at ease when they were busy.

On this day, Gu Shangqing came back from the army and brought news that a Turkic envoy would arrive in Beijing for peace talks in the near future.

"Although we have sent people here for peace talks, the Turks are still determined. There is no guarantee that they will not harbor any evil intentions this time. We still have to be cautious when they come to Beijing."

"How did the court arrange their visit this time?" Li Mumu remembered that in modern times, when leaders of other countries come to visit, many places in the imperial capital have to restrict travel, which is a bit inconvenient.

"Arrange them to live in a villa on Xuanwu Street." Gu Shangqing said. "Although there are people from the Ministry of Rites following them on weekdays, if they want to go shopping, as long as they don't go out of line, the people from the Ministry of Rites are not easy to control."

"We are worried that they will take the opportunity to use some tricks and cause chaos." Gu Shangqing said.

"They are already on our territory, why are they still causing trouble?" Wang Cuizhen asked in confusion.

"For example, if you have to go to a restaurant to eat, if you drug yourself somewhere, you may end up with a bad stomach, or you may directly sacrifice a person's life, and then take the opportunity to pass the responsibility to Daxi."

"Something happened when the Turkic envoy came to Daxi for peace talks..." Li Mumu murmured.

"These people are so troublesome, can't we just calm down for a while?" Zhang Caiping asked angrily, "Then our restaurant and Wangyou nap are also there, so don't we have to be careful?"

Li Mumu nodded, "When you open your business, you can't treat them differently. Don't let them in when they come."

Li Mumu said: "So we can only be cautious. No matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious."

"This time the Turkic general was captured alive by my husband. The Turks must have found out everything about my husband, and they will naturally know which stores we have opened." Li Mumu said in a deep voice, "If they can really do their duty honestly, yes If we sincerely negotiate for peace and nothing happens, that would be the best. Let’s just pretend that we are too worried.”

Zhang Caiping nodded, "It's best if it's okay, but we still have to be on guard as much as possible, lest they really take advantage of it and use our business to hurt Shang Qing."

Wang Cuizhen said a little worriedly: "But how can we guard against it?"

"Just like our restaurant, we know that the food served from our own kitchen is definitely fine, but we can't prevent them from secretly drugging themselves." Wang Cuizhen frowned.

"This way." Li Mumu said slowly, "As long as Turks come to the restaurant to eat, after every dish is served, the poison will be tested with a silver needle in front of them, and then they will be allowed to eat it after testing the poison."

"This is a good idea," Wang Cuizhen said. "We have tried the poison and it proves that our food is fine. If something goes wrong with them, it has nothing to do with us."

Li Mumu also told this method to the shopkeeper who was taking a nap, and warned the shopkeeper not to relax.

Although Wangyou Xiaoxiao only entertains female guests, she is not sure whether Tujue will bring any female relatives this time.

The original work does not mention the Turks coming for peace talks.

But if you look at other novels, movies, TV shows, etc., small countries that come for peace talks will always bring some princess over to get married.

If the Turks really bring it, they have to be careful if a Turk woman goes to take a nap.
