Chapter 42
In early September, King Chang'an returned to Kyoto and brought back the river embankment money that had been embezzled by the Jiangzhou prefect, the Jiangzhou prefect who had confessed, and his signed confession.

The only person who embezzled money from the Mohe embankment was the prefect of Jiangzhou, and no one else.

Feng Chenghan knew that this confession could not be believed, but the prefect of Jiangzhou was also a tough talker. No matter how the people in the Ministry of Punishment interrogated him, he would only say that he was obsessed with it and had embezzled the river embankment money, and he would not bother anyone else.

Fengcheng Han saw that the people from the Criminal Department couldn't ask anything more from Jiangzhou Magistrate, so he asked the Criminal Department to close the case and sentenced the Jiangzhou Magistrate to be executed in autumn.

The King of Chang'an handled the matter smoothly and recovered the embezzled embankment money, so his followers took credit for him.

Fengcheng Han also gave some symbolic rewards.

On the tenth day of October, the Queen Mother's birthday, Feng Chenghan also issued an edict in advance, asking the vassal kings from all over the country to return to the capital to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, Qi Yan has been kept in the palace by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother also sends people to invite Feng Chenghan to Yunxiang Palace for dinner every day.

Every time she went there, the Queen Mother tried to bring the two of them together in words and deeds, and Qi Yan was also very attentive, but Luo Hua was ruthless.

No matter how much Empress Dowager Ren tried to bring her together, no matter how diligent Qi Yan was, Feng Chenghan remained unmoved.

Whenever he finished his meal, he would leave early on the excuse that the memorial had not been approved yet.Later, he simply stopped going to Yunxiang Palace for dinner because of busy state affairs.

Yunxiang Palace.

A long table was filled with sumptuous and exquisite dinners. The Queen Mother sat at the top of the table, and Qi Yan sat on her left. They were waiting for the Emperor to come and have dinner together.

Qi Yan stretched her chin from time to time to look outside the palace door. After a while, she frowned a little worriedly and said: "Aunt, will the emperor's cousin not come for dinner today because he is busy with state affairs?"

The emperor's cousin has not been to his aunt's palace for dinner for two days.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "How could it be possible? There are not so many state affairs to deal with every day. Your Majesty, he has been busy for two days and should be done."

After hearing what her aunt said, Qi Yan felt relieved. She lowered her head and straightened her clothes and straightened out the black hair hanging on her chest.In front of the emperor's cousin, she must always look the most perfect.

After waiting for a while, the little eunuch who was sent to invite people came back.

"The Queen Mother, the Emperor is still approving memorials in the imperial study. He is really too busy to come over for dinner. Let the Queen Mother and Princess Qi Yan use more."

"This..." When the Queen Mother heard this, she was about to get angry, saying that this traitor obviously didn't take her seriously and didn't want to come over for dinner.But she also thought that Qi Yan was here. If she said this, Qi Yan would also feel that the emperor did not take her as the mother in his eyes, and it was disrespectful to her as the queen mother.

She took a deep breath and said gently: "There is nothing we can do about it."

She looked at Qi Yan and said, "I didn't expect that state affairs have been so busy recently. Since the emperor can't come, let's eat!"

Qi Yan's disappointment was clearly visible on her face.

She stayed in the palace just to see the emperor's cousin often, to enhance her relationship with the emperor's cousin, and to become his queen as soon as possible.If it weren't for the emperor's cousin, she wouldn't be willing to stay in this boring Yunxiang Palace.Every day, her aunt would just lie on the imperial concubine's couch and let her massage her legs, and tell her interesting things outside the palace. Her hands would get sore from the massages and her tongue would be dry from the talk.

She was almost tired of serving this aunt.

"Aunt, since the emperor's cousin is busy with state affairs and can't come to Yunxiang Palace for dinner, can Yan'er stew a tonic soup and send it to the emperor's cousin? The emperor's cousin is so busy, it will naturally hurt his health, Yan'er I made some replenishing soup and sent it to the emperor’s cousin, and I can also replenish my body.”

The queen mother looked at her niece and felt that she was quite smart. If the emperor was not here, she could still think of making a tonic soup for him.

She smiled and said: "Of course it is possible. There is a small kitchen in the Aijia Palace. There is everything in the small kitchen. You can just use it." Qi Yan said with a smile: "Okay."

The next afternoon, Qi Yan went to the imperial study room with a cup of tonic soup.

When she reached the door, she was stopped by the guard. After she explained her purpose, the guard directly said that the emperor was discussing matters with the ministers in the royal study, and no one could enter at the moment.

Qi Yan did not leave, but waited outside the imperial study. When the ministers inside came out, she went in again.

But until she waited until the soup had cooled down and her legs were numb from standing, the door to the royal study was still closed, and no minister came out.

The soup was already cold, and even if we waited until someone came out and brought it in again, we wouldn't be able to drink it.Moreover, she couldn't stand anymore. She had no choice but to return to Yunxiang Palace angrily.

As soon as she left, the door to the imperial study room opened, and there was no one else inside except Feng Chenghan, who was reviewing the memorial.

The fact that there are ministers discussing matters with the emperor is just an excuse to prevent Qi Yan from entering the imperial study.

Ever since Qi Yan entered the palace, Feng Chenghan had people keeping an eye on Yunxiang Palace. He knew exactly what Qi Yan and the Queen Mother would do when they wanted to.

Qi Yan is not the kind of person who gives up after failing once and comes back to deliver soup the next day.When she came to deliver the soup, Feng Chenghan was not in the imperial study, but had gone out of the palace to pay a private visit incognito.

She couldn't deliver this soup.

September rabbits are yellow.

In order to dye the wool into that beautiful bright yellow, Leng Luoyue specially bought dye from Maochao.

Although they have been selling rabbit dolls for more than two months, because of the marketing strategy of redeeming limited edition rabbits, the little yellow rabbit is also selling well.

Leng Luoyue set a quantity for September. Just two thousand little yellow rabbits would be made. Only two thousand would be made, and they would not be made after they were finished. Even if they were all sold out, they would not add more goods.

Hunger marketing is always more able to stimulate people's desire to buy.

In the past few days, Leng Luoyue often wandered around the Leng Palace to see if there was any empty and intact palace that could be used as a production workshop.

Every day, there are about twenty people working in the yard where she lives, which is really too crowded.

With Wang Jieyu's help, she really found it.

The palace was very complete and very large. Because people had died in this palace before, no one had ever lived in it.Moreover, there is a big well outside the palace, and next to the side hall, there is a small kitchen where you can cook.As a production workshop for producing dolls, it is simply not suitable.

Leng Luoyue immediately decided to move the doll production place here.

Twenty or so people worked for most of the day to clean up the inside and outside of the palace.

The next day, everything was moved there.

Leng Luoyue suddenly felt that her yard had become cleaner and she felt more comfortable.The mission progress has also been increased to 60.00%.After all the miscellaneous point rewards were added up, there were more than 3000 points left.
