Playful Queen

Chapter 43

When the door was closed again, Xi Yao turned around and took out the account book, and said, "This is the recent expenditure of Moon Tower..."

Mengli held down the ledger that Xi Yao was about to open, interrupted her, and said, "Xiyao, since you are the big shopkeeper here and also the second in charge, then you can handle these trivial matters by yourself, now let's talk about the real business Bar."

Seeing Xi Yao nodding, Mengli continued: "On weekdays, you have to be more careful about the people around you. When I came in just now, I saw people looking at us from the opposite side. They might be members of the Yin family." The number one merchant in Jintian is Erniang's natal family, and Yin Ming is her nephew. Although she has never met this person, the person who can come up with such a dark trick to buy Wangyue Tower is definitely not a good person, but she just What a jerk, insist on taking what he wants!

"Master, I'm really sorry."

"Don't say this, don't forget, I just like your principles of life." She knew that Xi Yao was raised by the Yin family, and the kindness of nurturing would be repaid, and she would not reveal anything about the Yin family. Li will never make things difficult for her, after all, she appreciates and agrees with such a principle, "It's just that I don't want you to go on the old road again, let them pass the past, and you will start over from now on."

Xi Yao was moved again by Mengli's words, she nodded and then smiled, and said: "You don't plan to just look like this in the future, do you as Gu Yan?"

After becoming a queen and the event of the Grand Ceremony, she can no longer show up on the street as Mengli. Who in the capital doesn't know her?However, she thought it was pretty cool to dress up like this, and for the sake of insurance, she made the place under the mask into a scar, so that even if the mask accidentally fell off, no one would be able to see her.

"Of course, I like this identity very much." Mengli said proudly, and then put the whole package on the table, "By the way, Xiyao, you still need to help me with one thing, that is, before the opening of Wangyue Tower, I don’t want to be preempted by buying the remaining shops in the old street.”

Xi Yao's face was shocked, "The amount of those shops bought is not small!"

"Aren't I ready?" As soon as the bag was opened, it was full of silver bills, which shocked Xi Yao even more, "Why do you have so much money?"

In fact, the money is all the private money that Mengli collected from the people and hid, plus the money sent by the trustworthy Zi Moyu, just enough to let her develop a grand plan, Mengli smiled , said: "In short, what I want is not this Moon Tower, what I want is this whole old street. In the near future, I want it to be more prosperous than that Chang'an Street..."

After explaining everything, Mengli took Xi'er away, because she was being watched by the Yin family recently, in order to prevent being followed, she asked the groom to drive a carriage around Chang'an Street, and finally entered the small courtyard, and then went through the back door. Go out and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as they returned to their Liuli Garden, Xiao Guizi and Xiao Dengzi rushed forward, "Your Majesty, you are finally back." The two seemed overly frightened, their faces pale, and they were relieved at this moment. Xiao Guizi opened his mouth to report: "The emperor just sent an oral order, saying that the empress is to return to the palace before dark, and specially sent someone here."

When Mengli, who was unloading her equipment, heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned, and her starry eyes raised slightly. What kind of heart did Zi Yechen feel? He sent a car to pick her up with great fanfare, because he wanted him to make a scene in front of the people ?But such a damn stupid way is simply pushing her into the fire pit...

The next day, the sky was gloomy early in the morning, as if there was some bad omen, which made people feel a little dull. Sure enough, not long after, just as Mengli expected, Fengyi Hall, which had always been deserted, It miraculously became lively...

After a continuous communication, there was an endless stream of people coming, the threshold felt broken, and all the concubines from all the palaces came. It really made this Fengyi Palace a rare and magnificent sight!
In the hall of Fengyi Hall, the crystal jade is the lamp, the pearl is the curtain, and Fan Jin is the pillar foundation.

Mengli was sitting leisurely on the phoenix chair at this time, looking at the threshold that was about to be leveled, all the concubines walked into the hall, their eyes were like a pool of clear water, and turned a few times on everyone's faces.I couldn't help but began to scold Zi Yechen inwardly. He clearly agreed to go his own way, but he just wanted to cause such trouble for her. Don't let her catch any chance in the future, or he will definitely kill this fox's fur. Stripped!

"My concubine pays respects to the empress, the empress is auspicious..." All the concubines, led by Concubine Hui of the West Palace and Concubine Yun of the East Palace, said in unison.

Mengli leaned lazily on the phoenix chair, looked at them with a little playfulness in her eyes, she knew very well the purpose of their coming here, but she didn't have the time to listen to their babbling here, she could just be ready to strike first!

"Sisters and sisters please get up quickly, Piaoxue, give me a seat!" Mengli said politely, and then waved to Piaoxue.

The concubines opened their eyes wide in surprise, but they still looked at the person sitting high with a smile on their faces. They took their seats gracefully according to the queen's words. Standing up, the skirt was like a sharp sword, slashing across the tea on the table, the ripples were slightly rippling, she folded her hands on her chest, with a sinister smile at the corner of her mouth, and said: "Since everyone came so together, I just happen to have something to think about." Tell my sisters and sisters, let’s hold a small forum here today!”

"Small symposium? What's the empress's explanation?" Xue Bi said with a smile, as expected of a playful queen, she couldn't even speak.

"Sister Xuebi, you don't even know such an easy-to-understand vocabulary. I am really disappointed. In the future, you can read the sage books in the palace and you will know." Mengli didn't bother to explain, and took the opportunity to count. Concubine Luoxue said a few words, but it could be regarded as a warning, after all, after she came out to make troubles, Concubine Hui was the most tired.

Concubine Xue turned pale with anger, and was about to say something, but Concubine Hui grabbed the corner of her clothes, and then she smiled back at Mengli, Concubine Hui was really smart, and Concubine Hui returned her smile.

"I don't know what the empress wants to say to the concubines?" Concubine Yun said softly, her demeanor was always extremely beautiful.

"Since Concubine Yun is so impatient, then I don't want to talk nonsense, let's get straight to the point." Mengli cleared her throat, flung Yun's sleeves, and asked neatly: "I wonder if all the sisters and sisters have heard about the events on the day of the grand ceremony?" What about the matter?"

After the words fell, Mengli glanced at the faces of the people one after another, waiting for their words.

Soon, Tingmei from the West Palace was the first to speak: "The concubine has heard about it. The day of the grand ceremony is really safe and sound. Fortunately, the empress is protected by the gods."
