Great Tang princess

Chapter 64 Opening

Shangguan Wan'er was obviously frightened, her eyes were always red, and her chin and nose even twitched slightly, which was obviously a precursor to crying.

Li Yuechen explained it all on the side, so she didn't really cry.

Mrs. Zheng who was next to her hurried over, and while gently stroking her daughter's head to comfort her, she thanked Li Yuechen: "Thanks to His Highness for your love, I am very grateful!"

After all, in this era, slaves and maids have no status, and the so-called "law and livestock" is not a joke.

Explaining what Li Yuechen did to her, or even apologizing kindly, is something that I dare not even think about in this day and age.

Shangguan Wan'er also knew this truth, so she saluted immediately after her emotions stabilized: "Your Highness, don't apologize, servants dare not blame His Highness!"

Li Yuechen nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course she also knew, in fact, even if she didn't explain anything, it should be.

But still the same sentence, after all, from a society where everyone is equal, there is a natural sense of rejection of this feudal system.

Not to mention, looking at such a little loli who was almost scared to cry, Li Yuechen, who has an uncle's heart, of course couldn't bear it.

After comforting Shangguan Wan'er, Li Yuechen returned to the inner hall, lying on his bed and thinking.

He raised his hands with big red nails and looked in front of him, but he didn't see anything wrong.

But there is indeed a problem with my own strength, which is obviously a bit too much.

In the past, Li Yuechen traveled all over the world, and because of his circle, he also saw many strong men who could lift people with one hand, and even pull a passenger plane with their bare hands.

But those strong men are all muscular and bearded burly men, the muscles on their bodies are bulging as if they are about to explode.

The blue veins suspended under the skin are like black snakes wrapped around the muscles, even if you stand still, you can feel a terrifying deterrent force.

But look at myself again... Apart from being taller than children of the same age, having a standard figure, and being good-looking, there is almost nothing that can highlight strength.

Even if Shangguan Wan'er was not as heavy as himself, she couldn't be much worse, but it was a bit strange that he could lift her up with one hand without much effort.

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen felt that he should do some experiments.

……

In the inner hall, there was no one except Li Yuechen, and Fulai and Xiaohe were thrown out by her.

At this time, Li Yuechen was only supporting his body with two hands, and the reason was in the hall.

She lightly shifted her center of gravity, allowing the palms on both sides to leave the ground, and turned into ten fingers supporting her body.

At this point, it just feels a little laborious.

Li Yuechen, who was getting more and more courageous, slowly shifted his center of gravity, letting his entire weight rest on the five fingers of his left hand, and his right hand was completely off the ground.

At this point, the pressure on the fingers suddenly increased, but Li Yuechen felt that they should still be able to hold on.

Then she slowly bent her left arm, planning to try a handstand.

At this point, it is obvious that it is difficult, but it is still possible to persevere.

Arms slowly bent down, Li Yuechen slowly controlled his center of gravity, and did not let his inverted body fall down.

A drop of sweat slid down the tip of his nose and exploded on the floor close at hand.

Then he pushed up again with strength, and gradually, the arms were completely straightened, completing a one-handed five-finger handstand.

"hey-hey……"

Feeling a little excited, Li Yuechen couldn't help laughing, then gritted his teeth and insisted on making a few more.

After the tenth one was completed, Li Yuechen put his feet down and stood on the floor again.

In fact, she can continue if she wants, but considering the medical level of this era, it will be troublesome if she gets injured from excessive exercise, so she stops here.

As for how I got this weird strength, I'd better observe and experiment more.

At least for now, this has not caused any defects in my body, except that I am usually late...

At present, Li Yuechen's appetite is indeed much larger than that of Shangguan Wan'er of the same age, but it is not to the point of exaggeration.

But now I am still a child, how far I can go in the future... Let time slowly verify.

……

In the afternoon, Li Yuechen took a carriage and came to Jixianfang again.

Seeing the slaves inside carrying all kinds of materials, Li Yuechen nodded, and said to Fulai: "Remember to build two dormitory... rooms for them here. Men and women will be separated in the future. The beds will be bunk beds..."

"Bunk bunk?" Fulai didn't seem to know what it was.

Li Yuechen didn't talk nonsense, took a pen and paper, and gave him a rough drawing: "It can save a lot of space by doing it like this."

"Oh, Your Highness really has a wonderful idea!" Fulai opened his eyes wide and sighed, "I understand!"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at the slaves who were working and said, "His Highness treats them so well, and it is their blessing to serve His Highness!"

Li Yuechen didn't take his flattery seriously, but just smiled lightly and said, "If you want the horse to run, you must at least feed it?"

Fulai nodded: "Your Highness is right!"

After the matter here was settled, Li Yuechen turned around and returned to the carriage to go back to the palace.

On the way, Li Yuechen thought for a while: "The Chinese New Year is not far away, and the canned food is almost ready for sale."

Fulai asked cautiously: "Your Highness, I have an idea, I don't know..."

"Go ahead."

"The method of making the cans is too easy to guess. The idea of ​​the servant is that we open the cans ourselves when we sell them, and then..."

Listening to his thoughts, Li Yuechen nodded after thinking for a while: "Okay, let's do it this way."

This is good, just like the milk tea shop in the future, you can provide tables and chairs in the shop, and eat here like a wine shop.

At the same time, you can take it away if you want, but you need to eat it as soon as possible when you take it back, and you can't put it away.

Li Yuechen has no money and is still in the initial stage. This method is indeed easier to extend the monopoly period of canned food.

Seeing Fulai who made the suggestion, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuechen's mouth: "It's a good idea!"

"It's a servant's blessing to help His Highness!" Fulai hurriedly saluted.

……

In December, a shop in Nanshi quietly opened, a table was set up at the door, and some food samples were released.

This shop used to sell spices, but now the plaque above the door frame has been replaced with the words Candy and Fruit Shop.

At first, the people around didn't quite know what it was, but after Wang Xiang, the shopkeeper, lifted the red cloth on the table, the onlookers were shocked.

What was placed on the table were actually porcelain bowls containing various fruits that had been soaked in water and peeled.

In this winter weather, the crystal clear flesh really caught the attention of many people.

Wang Xiang saluted the passers-by who were watching the excitement from all directions: "Everyone, our candy and fruit shop is open today, and I hope you will take care of our business. You can try a piece of these on the table for only ten dollars. If you are interested, please enter the back room to discuss in detail."

Upon hearing these words, a large number of people watching the excitement suddenly disappeared, and it cost ten yuan to try it out, which was enough to discourage many people.

But the fresh fruit caught the eyes of many servants who were in charge of purchasing for the rich and powerful families, and decisively took out ten Kaiyuan Tongbao and photographed them.

When he picked up the bowl and took a bite of fresh fruit, he immediately decided to go back and report to the host.

After a brief inquiry, they all turned their heads and walked home.

Forty yuan a bowl, although expensive is expensive, but for a powerful family, compared to being able to eat fresh fruit in winter, this price is not unacceptable.

Not to mention that there are lychees in it!

That's lychees!Things that even money can't buy!
There is a store in Nanshi that actually sells fresh fruits in winter... The news swept across the entire Dongdu in an instant.

Many officials in the court thought that the emperor rewarded some fruits soaked in sugar water last year, and they should have mastered the method of preserving the fruits for a long time.

But now there is a store that sells it... The things behind this are a bit interesting.

There are also some aristocratic families who don't know what's going on, and immediately start to think about the formula. After all, the profit of this stuff is very considerable.

Of course, they are not stupid. It is impossible to open such a store in Dongdu without any background, so they sent people to inquire.

However, this inquiring was serious, the person behind the shop was actually the most beloved little princess of the emperor!
Originally, this matter was no secret, this shop originally belonged to Princess Qianjin.

Now it's another princess, so it's not surprising.

But then again, this kind of monopoly business has huge profits. If you can't find a way to get a piece of the action, you will always feel itchy.

……

In a blink of an eye, the store has been open for more than ten days, and the turnover is quite considerable.

Li Yuechen practiced yoga with his two sisters and Shangguan Wan'er as usual in the morning. After the exercise in the morning, he was about to go back to take a bath when Fulai came over suddenly: "Your Highness, I have something to say."

"En." Li Yuechen nodded, followed Xiao He into the inner hall without stopping.

Li Yuechen, who took off her clothes, soaked in the wooden barrel, and Xiao He gently scrubbed her body beside her.

I don't know what kind of traditional Chinese medicine has been added to the hot water, and it smells like medicine.

The wooden barrel was covered by a wooden screen that was not hollowed out at all, and Fulai was standing outside the screen, reporting in a low voice.

"In the past few days, many people contacted Wang Xiang, promising a lot of money to buy canned formula...Of course he refused all of them!"

Li Yuechen, who was sitting in the wooden barrel, suddenly smiled: "Could it be that no one touches you?"

"This... also." Fulai answered with a bow behind the screen, but immediately added, "But the servant did not agree..."

"Well, that's good." Li Yuechen nodded slightly.

Fulai heaved a sigh of relief silently. In fact, they gave a lot, but he didn't dare to take it!
Judging from how much the emperor and empress love the princess, if he takes the money today, he will probably lose his head tomorrow.

Fulai thought for a while: "Now the slaves are worried, will these people secretly collude with those slaves? Or..."

"This matter...you can do it as you see it."

Li Yuechen got up from the suffocation, turned over and walked outside the wooden barrel filled with medicinal fragrance, and opened his arms to let Xiaohe dry his body.

After all, she doesn't understand many things in this era. As a layman, there is no need to do everything by herself.

For Fulai to be able to get to this point in the palace, he must have the ability, I believe he can solve this matter well.

After the body was dried, she put on pure cotton underwear and wrapped in a layer of clean underwear. Li Yuechen walked out from behind the screen, pulling her wet hair.

Seeing her coming out, Fulai lowered his head slightly, waiting for the next order.

"You have been taking care of me since I was a child, and I believe you will not disappoint me." Li Yuechen smiled.

Fu Lai saluted respectfully: "Your Highness loves me so much, I will definitely do my best to not disappoint His Highness!"

"It's fine on weekdays, you can also get some canned food to taste for yourself, don't treat yourself badly." Li Yuechen laughed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

……

In the Hall of Renshou, Wu Zetian in front of the table slapped the memorial in his hand on the table, pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.

Li Zhi, who was lying on the rocking chair next to him, stopped the health ball in his hand: "Why is Meiniang sighing?"

"Heh..." Wu Zetian chuckled while pinching the bridge of his nose, "Everyone satirizes the princess and the people for profit between the lines, and they are short of impeachment by name!"

"Speaking of..." Li Zhi squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Chen'er's canned food shop has been open for a while, right?"

Wu Zetian nodded: "It should be more than ten days."

Li Zhi nodded and raised his voice: "Come on! Call Fulai!"

"Here!"

……

After a while, Fulai quickly entered the Hall of Renshou, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen a saint, my lady!"

"Excuse me." Li Zhi smiled, "The business of Chen'er's shop is going to be good, has anyone been looking for you recently?"

Fulai replied respectfully: "There are indeed many saints! It's just that none of these people have revealed their identities..."

"I know!" Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands, "If it's so easy to leave a clue, then don't worry about it."

Hearing his words, Fulai just saluted respectfully and did not speak.

Wu Zetian next to him raised his head and asked, "Have you reported this to Chen'er?"

"Go back to your mother and report." Fulai replied, "Your Highness let me figure it out!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Wu Zetian asked.

Fulai thought for a while: "Send someone to protect the store to prevent people from making tricks behind their backs..."

Wu Zetian and Li Zhi looked at each other, then nodded and said: "This security issue is really important! You don't have to worry, if there are really young people breaking into the houses, you don't have to report it, just kill them!"

Hearing this sentence, Fulai's eyes lit up, and then he raised his hand in salute: "Your servant obeys!"

Fulai knew very well how important this sentence was, and at the same time, his judgment on how favored Li Yuechen was in the hearts of the two of them went up a level.

After walking out of Renshou Hall, the surprise in Fulai's heart has not completely calmed down.

Looking at it this way, I am afraid that the emperor and empress do not just want her to be an idle princess, but have other expectations for her.

Thinking of this, Fulai looked around, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "It seems that your Highness has a bright future!"
