Chapter 465 The Opening of the Restaurant

What are you looking at?What do you think of the spiritual position?
Do you want to make it so intrusive?
Shangguan Ruoli smiled dryly at the spirit seat that seemed to have eyes, "Mother-in-law, your son is mine now, don't worry, I will take good care of him."

The corners of Dongming Ziyu's lips twitched, and he said, "Queen Mother, don't think she can't speak in tune, but she's a very nice person, and I want to live with her hand in hand, this life will not be a burden."

Shangguan Ruoli raised her eyebrows, is she out of tune?

She's stating the facts, okay?

He coughed lightly and said, "My queen, if he doesn't leave me, he won't abandon me. If he doesn't live up to me, I'd rather live up to the world than to miss you."

"Li'er!" Dongming Ziyu's eyes lit up, as if he was about to hug her.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't want to be intimate with him here, so he hurriedly reminded: "Hurry up and offer incense to the queen mother."

Dongming Ziyu seemed to feel a bit embarrassed to hug his wife in front of Empress Hao's coffin, coughed lightly, and said, "Okay!"

Pick up three sticks of incense from the incense table and light them on the ever-burning lamp.

Shangguan Ruoli also followed Dongming Ziyu's example and picked up three sticks of incense, lit them, bowed respectfully, and put them in the incense burner.

He said softly, "Shall we go to sweep the tomb of Concubine Mu?"

Although there are people taking care of it, there must be someone cleaning Empress Hao's tomb, but as a son and daughter-in-law, you should also feel concerned.

Dongming Ziyu obviously didn't think of this, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded.

Empress Hao's tomb is just a small dirt bag without a single weed on it.

Shangguan Ruoli took a cloth towel and wanted to wipe the tombstone, but found that there were ashes of burnt paper money in front of the tombstone.

Dongming Ziyu also saw it, and asked the steward following behind, "What's going on here?"

The steward of the grave was also very surprised. He knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said, "This subordinate has neglected their duties. I don't know what happened. Please punish me!"

Dongming Ziyu's eyes were cold, looking like he was about to get angry.

Shangguan Ruoli hurriedly said: "This is at the back, someone must have climbed over the wall and entered. Fortunately, it was to pay homage to the queen and not disturb the queen mother's cleanliness. Just let them pay attention in the future."

She was also afraid that although Empress Hao had no burial objects, if some bad people dug out Empress Hao's coffin and used it to threaten Dongming Ziyu, it would be a serious matter.

The steward of the grave did not beg for mercy, but said shamelessly: "Your subordinates have neglected their duties, please punish me, my lord!"

They also patrol on time, but no one has come for so many years, so they let down their vigilance and became lazy.

Dongming Ziyu also didn't want to see blood in front of Empress Hao's tomb, and said: "Let's spare you this matter for now, let's not make an example!"

The grave guard kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord, my subordinates will definitely do their duty in the future."

Dongming Ziyu waved his hand, "Just step back."

After Shangguan Ruoli waited for the grave guard to leave, he suggested, "Why don't you call in some normal guards?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "I will make arrangements when I get back."

When Mo Wen found traces of burnt paper, he sent An Yi and a few people out to investigate.

When Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu left the cemetery, An Yi came back.

People did climb in from the top of the wall. There were two people, one who knew martial arts and the other who didn't.The footprints disappeared on the side of the small road in the distance. There were carriage marks there, and the direction of the carriage was the direction back to the city.

"I found this on the grass on the road." An Yi held up a white mane in his hand.

Mo Wen took a look and said: "This should be the mane on the whisk, which is used by the servants in the palace."

The eunuch's whisk is mainly used to clean the dust in the palace.Especially the eunuchs who followed the emperor, wherever the emperor went, the eunuchs had to clean up the stool the emperor was going to sit on with a whisk before letting the emperor sit on it.However, later this whisk became a symbol of the power of some great eunuchs.

The eunuch with the highest status had a white whisk, and the general eunuchs in charge had a black whisk, and the lower eunuchs were not worthy of it.

Mo asked: "This mane is white, and the only one in the palace who is equipped with a white whisk is Eunuch Zheng."

Eunuch Zheng doesn't know martial arts, so he should be brought by someone who knows martial arts.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't understand this, and asked, "Don't Taoists also use dust whisks? How can you be sure it's used by eunuchs?"

Mo Wen said with a smile: "Taoist whisks are relatively short, and the colors are all primary colors, whichever material they are made of. Such as horsetail, stag tail, or silky hemp."

Shangguan Ruoli learned the knowledge again, saw Dongming Ziyu frowned, and said: "It must be the person who benevolent to the mother during her lifetime, and came to inform the worship after learning the news of Hao's family and the mother's redress."

Dongming Ziyu nodded, and ordered Mo to ask: "Go and find out whether Eunuch Zheng has been out of the palace since he delivered the decree yesterday."

Mo Wen said softly: "Yes!"

After giving the order, Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli got into the carriage and went back to the city.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I got back to Prince Xuan's mansion, I got the news that King Li had indeed borrowed food from some aristocratic families, but most of them were not from the Jiangnan family, but from the Feng family in Qingzhou.

The emperor Long Yan was very happy, and rewarded King Li heavily, and also gave the Feng family a plaque of "No. [-] in the world", and also gave some honorary rewards to the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Dongming Ziyu said lightly: "I didn't expect the Feng family to get involved."

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Do you want me to contact Feng Jinxing as Hua Xiaoyu and ask about the situation?"

Dongming Ziyu's face darkened, "No, don't care about these things."

Feng Jinxing is as gentle as jade and unparalleled in the world. He doesn't want his woman to have anything to do with such a pretty boy!
Shangguan Ruoli didn't know his little thoughts, thought it was not important, so he let it go.

In the evening, news came from the palace that Eunuch Zheng had indeed left the palace in the middle of the night and had returned at Yinshichu.

Dongming Ziyu had a clue in his mind that Empress Hao should be kind to Eunuch Zheng, no wonder Eunuch Zheng always helps him secretly.

Back then, if Eunuch Zheng hadn't spoken for him in front of the emperor, he wouldn't have survived.

He remembered this kindness, and he would pay it back one day.

In the next few days, apart from working hard to make little people in the mansion, the two studied some military cases and some modern policies that benefit the country and the people.

Soon, the restaurant jointly opened with the Fifth Prince opened.

The emperor, who didn't know how the fifth prince coaxed him, wrote a plaque for the restaurant, hung it at the door of the restaurant, and covered it with red silk.

Because the publicity was in place, the entrance of the restaurant was full of people early in the morning.

The fifth prince also invited the gong and drum team and the lion dance team, which were in full swing and attracted many people.

It was Shangguan Ruoli's idea to hold a tailoring ceremony, and King Xuan and several high-ranking people in the capital were invited to tailor it.

They sat in the private room on the third floor of the restaurant, waiting for the auspicious time.

"Hmph! If it wasn't for you, this king wouldn't show up on such occasions!" Dongming Ziyu was a little awkward.

Downstairs, some of the people from the inner and outer third floors came to eat, and some came to see him. Didn't you see the shining eyes of those big girls and young wives?
They didn't dare to have unreasonable thoughts about him, but they didn't usually have the chance to see him, so it was okay to see him from a distance.

Shangguan Ruoli laughed and said, "This is called celebrity effect..."

Suddenly, she stopped talking, and rushed to the window, staring closely at the alley in the distance.

There stood a woman in blue coarse cloth, with a pale face and black lips.

Shangguan Ruoli exclaimed, "It's Li Lanxin!"
