The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 557: Opponent (1)
Time flies. In the past two years, many things have happened, but they have nothing to do with the common people.

The first thing is that the emperor finally found Long Zi, who was living outside, and named him King Yu, and granted him a fief.

The second thing is that Prince Fu is not allowed to return to the fiefdom, making a big disturbance in the court, provoking the emperor's fury, ordering him to think about his mistakes in the palace, and not being allowed to go out for half a year.

The third thing is that Mongolia is causing trouble at the border again. The Mighty Prince took the opportunity to take the guards to the border, and then never returned to Tiancheng. He ordered people to send the longevity peaches from the banquet to the border to the mighty prince, in recognition of his hard work.

These things were all told by Hao Ren to Leng Ping. Leng Ping has also been very busy in the past two years. Her medicine store did not close down as soon as Huaying expected. On the contrary, it rose rapidly within two years. , and even replaced Huayao.

Now Situ Zhanchen is fighting the Mongolian army at the border, and the poor management of the Huayao shop has exhausted him even more. After all, all the medicinal materials for his army come from the Huayao shop, so he sent Liu Yingfeng to Licheng.

At this moment in early autumn in Licheng, the heat has not completely dissipated, Leng Ping was sitting in the gazebo in the yard reading medicine books, Huai Xia was fanning with another maid, Zhong Chun.

Zhongchun was a down and out woman who Leng Ping accidentally rescued after she arrived in Licheng. At that time she was sold to a brothel by traffickers. It happened that Hao Ren caught the trafficker and rescued Zhongchun. Leng Ping saw that she had nowhere to go and she was smart. Having seen the world again, she stayed by her side. In the past two years, together with Huai Xia, she managed the inner hall of the yamen in an orderly manner.

Huai Xia is married to Mu Wu, and now she is pregnant, Leng Ping forbids her to do hard work, most of the work depends on Zhong Chun.

"Huaixia, sit down and rest!" Leng Ping glanced at Huaixia, a little envious.

She and Hao Ren have been officially together for two years, but in the past two years, she has not taken any contraceptive measures, but she has not been able to conceive.

She also took her own pulse, took medicine, and even acupuncture, but the doctor did not heal herself, and she still failed to conceive. Because of this, every time she went home, Hao Shi would always chatter a few words, but she didn't force her to too tight.

Hao Ren is not in a hurry. Now he is like a fish in water in the inner city. He has gathered a lot of capable people under him, and the management of the inner city is orderly. The most important thing is that Hao Ren secretly raised a guard army. Fish and dragons were mixed, there were bodyguards, soldiers who had returned from injuries, and people from the green forest. Hao Ren used money or took advantage of his position as prefect to subdue these people, and secretly guarded Licheng, to be more precise, Hao Mansion and Taiping Village. .

In the past two years, Hao Ren and Leng Ping have gradually gotten along with each other very tacitly.Leng Ping has read a lot of books over the years, and even started to learn piano embroidery, her temper has calmed down a lot.

Hao Ren also loved Leng Ping even more. He gradually got to know Leng Ping's temper. , had a very happy life.

"Miss, the servants are not tired!" Huai Xia and Mu Wu got pregnant half a year ago, now her face is full of smiles, she is in a happy mood, so naturally she doesn't feel tired.

"Now that you're not in April, you still have to be careful everywhere, and it won't be too late to move around when you're seven or eight months old!" Leng Ping insisted on making her sit down.

Huai Xia also smiled embarrassedly, sat down beside her, and talked with Leng Ping.

At this moment, Hao Ren's laughter came from the gate of the mansion. He was talking to Yu Xueliang about the chess game he played with Mo Zhengyuan today.

"Ma'am!" Hao Ren called happily, and stepped forward, Huai Xia hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat.

"What's so happy about it?" Leng Ping raised her eyes to look at Hao Ren. In the past two years, Hao Ren has grown a lot taller. Zhi Qinghui, unconventional and handsome, has a stable and restrained personality. He only wears a simple moon-white robe, but he can't hide his handsome and outstanding temperament.

Hao Ren sat down and laughed, "Mo Zhengyuan lost to my pawn again today, and he promised to give us news for free!"

Hao Ren knew about Mo Zhengyuan's existence from Leng Ping a year ago, and he didn't know what method he used to become friends with Mo Zhengyuan.Every time Mo Zhengyuan provides information, the price is high. As the income of Lengping Medicine is getting higher and higher, the price is getting higher and higher, but Lengping cannot do without Mo Zhengyuan. His information is accurate and fast, However, in the past year, Mo Zhengyuan has not tasted a big sweetness, because he always loses to Hao Ren in chess, and the price of losing is that Hao Ren sets the price himself. Let yourself suffer!
The news that Hao Ren said this time was about the iron mine in Licheng. Half a year ago, Hao Ren found out that there was also an iron mine in Licheng. Just in need of a lot of weapons, Hao Ren is planning to mine iron ore.

Leng Ping had seen the iron mine once before. Leng Ping didn't understand it before, but now that she thinks about it, the iron mine should be managed secretly by the emperor, and Ruan Ji belongs to the emperor!
"Do you really want to take such a risk?" Leng Ping disagreed a little. Now they are living a happy life, besides touching the emperor's iron mine, if anyone finds out, Hao Ren will only have a dead end!
"It's still the same sentence, outsmart!" This is Hao Ren's experience over the years. Now that he has arranged so much in Licheng, others can't see it at all. He believes that with his cleverness, he can get those things. iron ore.

The emperor secretly built an arsenal, and the three vassals were on guard against it. Now that Prince Fu has fallen out with the emperor, and Situ Zhanchen refuses to return, the world is about to go into chaos. Before the chaos, Hao Ren wants to prepare some capital to protect himself .

"And this opportunity didn't come easily, and we may never have such an opportunity!" Hao Ren said in a low voice.

Leng Ping asked Huai Xia and Zhong Chun to retreat first, and when only the two of them were left, Leng Ping made it clear, "If you do this, what if something happens? Ruan Ji is hard to deal with!"

Hao Ren stepped forward and gently stroked Leng Ping's back, "Don't worry, I'm the prefect of Licheng now, and Licheng is my world. I'm just acting impartially and reporting the news of the iron mine discovery in Licheng. Ruan Ji will definitely find a way to transfer the arsenal. When the time comes, I will reveal the news to Prince Fu. Prince Fu will definitely take advantage of the opportunity and send someone to do it. Taking advantage of the chaos, let the bandits in the middle of the hill take advantage of it. Don't forget, two years The case of the former bandit has not been solved yet!"

If the imperial court investigates the case of bandits on the hillside, it will naturally find out about the attack on him two years ago. There is Situ Zhanchen in the court, and Situ Zhanchen will naturally find a way to stop it, so this matter is unknown. Sleep!

"But I'm afraid Situ Zhanchen will suspect you!" Leng Ping said.
