Chapter 109 Rumors and Serendipitous Encounters

Ji Boxi was not the kind of person who would not fight back if he was bullied.

I didn't fight back before because I wasn't capable enough.

The reason we are not fighting back now is that the timing is not right.

He was thinking that he would get his revenge when he found the right opportunity.

His Majesty had already ordered the confiscation of Zhao's property and his execution.

Yue Jinyu also saw this and couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems that your royal uncle values ​​you very much."

Ji Boxi was puzzled.

Yue Jinyu explained, "Your Imperial Uncle must know about your feud with Prefect Zhao, which is why he's standing up for you now."

Ji Boxi was shocked; so that's how it is.

Was it His Majesty who stood up for him?
"It seems that your uncle considers you one of his own. He always protects his own people."

own people?
After a moment of stunned silence, Ji Boxi was deeply moved and resolved to protect Daqing and its people for His Majesty.
-
Which of the Six Departments of Daqing is the busiest these days?

It's the Ministry of Works, of course.

Some people worked with "Lord Liu" to build ships, while others were building textile machines.

After Liu Shishi and Hua Xi were appointed as female officials and received the tasks given to them by Princess Fuqing.

He then led his men to begin building factories in and around the capital.

It started in Beijing and the surrounding areas, and then gradually expanded to the entire Daqing.

The construction of the factory naturally requires manpower, and Liu Shishi offered a good price.

Therefore, many people came to apply for jobs as workers and build factories.

"Hey, why are they suddenly building so many factories? What's the purpose of this?"

"I heard that it was an order from Princess Fuqing's side, something about building a textile factory."

"Oh, so it's a textile factory. Why build so many all at once?"

"Do you see those two female officials? They are the female officials who serve Princess Fuqing. They are in charge of this matter."

"Those two female officials are really beautiful, especially the one in front."

"Hey, I heard that those two female officials were brought out of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion by Princess Fuqing. Do you think Princess Fuqing was bewitched by them? They are..."

The woman was interrupted by someone next to her before she could finish speaking.

The others glared at her angrily.

"Is Princess Fuqing's decision something you can interfere with?"

"That's right, that's Princess Fuqing, the lucky star of our Great Qing. Princess Fuqing must have her reasons for doing this."

"There are also talented and virtuous women in those brothels. Besides, many of the girls in those brothels are actually people with tragic fates."

"I believe that since Princess Fuqing built the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, they must have had something to offer."

"If she has no redeeming qualities, how could she have been appointed as a female official by Princess Fuqing and now be able to perform her duties?"

"To be honest, I envy them. They get to be by Princess Fuqing's side and do things for her."

"Me too."

The woman was so rebuked that she dared not respond and eventually slunk away.

After the crowd dispersed, Liu Shishi and Hua Xi emerged from a corner.

The two of them had stumbled upon this place by chance and overheard what had just been said.

“Sister, Princess Fuqing is our benefactor,” Huaxi said.

After leaving the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, Hua Xi stopped calling Liu Shishi "Miss," because Liu Shishi was a month older than her.

Therefore, Huaxi called her "elder sister".

Liu Shishi naturally accepted it.

Liu Shishi's eyes were also full of emotion. "Yes, we must remember Princess Fuqing's kindness and do our best for her to repay her kindness."

She never intended to hide her identity.

Especially now that they're out in the public eye.

She knew she would definitely face criticism. But she didn't care.

She was just afraid that she would implicate Princess Fuqing's reputation.

It seems now.

The common people held Princess Fuqing in high esteem, and even she, who came from a brothel, was blessed by the princess.

What merit does she possess?

Of course, she was even more determined to follow Princess Fuqing.

"The Ministry of Works sent someone to say that quite a few textile machines have been manufactured, and the construction of this factory is progressing rapidly."

"Huaxi, when we get back, have someone start posting job advertisements for female textile workers."

"Our textile factory will be opening soon."

"Yes, sister, I know."

But at that moment, Huaxi seemed to see something, and her brows furrowed.

However, Huaxi didn't want Liu Shishi to see this, so she took Liu Shishi's hand and tried to lead her to the other side.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shishi still saw it when she looked up.

He was stunned for a moment.

Hua Xi sighed, "I didn't want you to see this, but you still did."

Ahead stood Qin Bowen and his wife, Yu Zhenzhen.

The couple appeared to be out for a stroll.

Yes, this seems to be a habit of the couple; they are very affectionate, and the people of the capital have all seen them.

Therefore, Qin Bowen's gratitude and kindness also became known.

Hua Xi never expected to be so unlucky today, actually running into them.

Hua Xi disliked Qin Bowen.

She had heard from Danzhu that when she went to the Qin residence to request an audience, she was turned away.

Qin Bowen, who had a deep affection for his sister before, completely forgot his feelings for her after becoming a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) and marrying the daughter of a high-ranking official.

What a scumbag!

Hua Xi felt indignant.

Liu Shishi, on the other hand, is doing well.

She never had much affection for Qin Bowen, nor did she have any hope for him, so she didn't care whether she was disappointed or not.

At that moment, Qin Bowen and his wife looked up and saw Liu Shishi and Hua Xi.

Yu Zhenzhen brought Qin Bowen out today, specifically to have him accompany her to buy hairpins.

The reason I came out was because I knew about what Liu Shishi and Hua Xi had done recently.

To be honest, Yu Zhenzhen initially had some intention of causing trouble.

However, considering that the construction of this factory was ordered by Princess Fuqing.

She feared that Princess Fuqing would blame her if she found out, so she gave up her plans.

Since the factory construction began, Liu Shishi and Hua Xi have been making public appearances from time to time.

Today, Yu Zhenzhen deliberately chose this day to bring Qin Bowen out.

Firstly, he wanted to test the relationship between Qin Bowen and Liu Shishi again.

Secondly, she also wanted Liu Shishi to see the affection between her and Qin Bowen.

This will prevent Liu Shishi from having any further improper thoughts.

When Yu Zhenzhen saw Liu Shishi's beautiful face and the ornaments she wore that signified a female official, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

However, her expression remained gentle. She turned to Qin Bowen beside her and asked, "Does my husband know them? I know they are ladies-in-waiting to Princess Fuqing. They have been helping Princess Fuqing build a textile factory recently."

As he spoke, he carefully observed Qin Bowen's expression.

Qin Bowen merely glanced at them briefly before looking away, his tone indifferent, "Is that so? I don't know them."
