The demon world I designed

"People from Jiangnan?"

Princess Beiyu looked at the proprietress of the inn, her expression became a little complicated.

Someone from the south of the Yangtze River, or the famous Shen family, was the first one to come to see me?

"Yes, Princess Toffee." The landlady carefully looked at the other party's face and said, "This is a rare and good opportunity. I don't think it's fake. They are generous with their money, and even the palace can't enjoy the warm jade. You Look at the quality, it’s definitely not the stuff sold by those small dealers.”

Princess Beiyu touched the warm jade of excellent quality and was obviously extremely satisfied.

Warm jade is probably meant for the nobles of the Northern Wilderness. The key to its exquisite style is practicality. With it on your body, you can wear beautiful dresses no matter how cold the weather is. It is simply a weapon for noble ladies. The boss lady just said Those low-quality goods mentioned in his mouth are now things that ladies from various families cannot compete for.

Everyone can imagine how terrible the profits would be here if a big family could provide a large number of high-quality goods.

But the key is, why is it my turn for such a good thing?

It is true that she is from the Beiyu family, but her status in the palace is not high. Beiyan country likes to imitate the culture of the Central Plains. There are also four noble concubines in the palace. She has been in the palace for six years, and she can barely get married because of her family's influence. The position of a noble concubine, but she has been in the palace for six years and has nothing to show for it. No matter how powerful her family is, her status is limited. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, she has nothing to show for herself. She is already a marginal soy sauce figure.

She is also self-aware, so she doesn't dare to compete with others for many things. Even when she opens a business to make extra money, she only dares to let her former maid drive it to the edge of Beilang City. Shen's business of such magnitude is unreasonable for her. Didn't find out clearly or something?

"Mother?" The landlady asked cautiously, "Would you like to arrange a meeting?"

The Crown Princess rubbed the piece of warm jade, and finally nodded: "Let's meet, it's not easy for a foreigner to enter the palace, and I haven't been home to see my mother for a long time."

"Okay, okay," the landlady said quickly, "I'll make arrangements right now."

Princess Beiyu nodded and fell into deep thought again after the other party withdrew.

Today is a troubled time, and the situation is strange. The emperor suddenly got into trouble and declared his attachment to Jiangnan. The key point is that many aristocratic families did not object, so it was natural for the emperor to complete the matter. What a shame. No one can guess.

The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and the country is under suspicion. The power of the major families is evenly distributed, and no powerful official can control the government. However, it is obviously impossible for the young emperor to make the decision on such a big matter alone. She was also born in a big family, so more or less If you understand politics, if such a big idea is to be passed, at least more than 70% of the big families must support the emperor in doing so.

It may not even have anything to do with the emperor, it is just a decision made by the big family together, and the emperor is just a stamping machine.

This means that Jiangnan should have had close ties with major families for a long time. In this case, if a wealthy family in Jiangnan like the Shen family wanted to do business here, why not go directly to the Beiyu family instead of coming to themselves?

She always felt that these pieces of warm jade were not so easy to get——

The proprietress of the inn was the former personal maid of the Crown Princess Beiyu. She was later married to a foreign affairs housekeeper who managed many of the Crown Princess's shops and acted as an eye liner. The inn on the edge was a new addition later.

Her dead husband died early, which caused many things to fall on her head. Naturally, the Crown Princess had to find another steward to continue managing her shop, and this inn was equivalent to compensating her later.

But the location is too remote, the business is indeed not very good, and her life is not even a little bit worse than that of the other maids and sisters. Now that she finally has the opportunity to become rich, how can she let it go? He quickly went back to cry for his imperial concubine, saying that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to stay for a few days.

The old lady of the Beiyu family also had pity for her daughter in her heart. She married into the palace in the Mood for Love, but she didn't expect that the emperor turned out to be useless. He died in a few years, leaving her daughter with no descendants. Staying in the palace and not being able to remarry is a child who is really suffering.

As soon as I heard that my daughter wanted to come back and stay for a few days, I thought that my daughter must not be able to bear the coldness in the palace, so I quickly agreed and urged the children of the Beiyu family to report to the emperor early, saying that the concubine was unwell and that she should return to the Beiyu family to raise her for a while.

The Beiyu family is one of the three major priest families, so they naturally have this face. The queen in the palace issued an edict the next day, asking Princess Beiyu to go back and raise her.

The concubine, who had not returned to Beiyu's house for a long time, was also very happy at this time. When she was a girl, she thought about getting married every day, but now she misses being a girl every day.

I talked to my mother all night, but after all I didn't forget the business. Early the next morning, under the leadership of my maid, I met the two so-called Shen family members.

"It turns out to be the famous Master Shen Qi. It's really disrespectful."

As a concubine, she did not have a big deal. The seventh master of the Shen family had become famous a hundred years ago. Even the late emperor had to call him "senior". It was considered condescending to come to discuss business with her at this time.

"Concubine, you're welcome." Shen Qi smiled slightly.

Princess Beiyu was the one they found by accident, but they found the route well.

Familiar people, such as the children of the Beiyu family studying in Jiangnan, are likely to be under surveillance. On the contrary, Princess Beiyu, who does not have a high status but is in the palace, is a good way.

"I think the proprietress of the inn must have told the concubine about the specific situation, right?"

"I've said it before." The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But this junior still feels a little strange. With your energy, seniors, as long as you show your signs, there will be so many people in Beiyan Kingdom who want to cooperate with you. , why bother looking for such a weak person like this junior?”

"The concubine is a smart person. She must know why we are looking for you, right?" Chen Qing said with a smile.

Looking at Chen Qing, the Crown Princess looked at the details of the other person's casualness with Shen Qi, and she roughly guessed that this guy's identity must be not simple, but she didn't dare to be rude, and said directly: "Presumably... he wants to take advantage of me. Do you know any information here?"

"The concubine is indeed smart." Shen Qi nodded with satisfaction.

The Crown Princess's mood became even more complicated after hearing this. She had actually been a little uneasy in the past few days. Suddenly some missionaries came inexplicably, and suddenly the emperor announced that he would join Jiangnan, and then suddenly the emperor did not go to court early for ten days, which always made her feel that something had happened. What a big deal.

It's a pity that she is so quiet and doesn't have the right to know what happened.

"The seniors may have found the wrong person." The Crown Princess shook her head: "I may not know what the seniors want."

"It doesn't matter. Tell me as much as you know, Princess. Naturally, we won't let you go in vain. Besides, Princess, if you are willing to come out, you don't want to be kept in the dark, right?"

The Crown Princess raised her head and glanced at Chen Qing who was speaking, and gently pinched her fingers.

She really didn't want to be kept in the dark anymore. She once married an emperor who was almost exhausted and became a living widow without knowing it. Now, she didn't want to be kept in the dark even more. She didn't know how she died one day.

"What do seniors want to know?"

"We want to know, did anything strange happen to His Majesty before he declared his attachment to Jiangnan?"

After hearing this, the concubine glanced at the two of them and thought to herself: There is indeed something behind the emperor's announcement to defect to Jiangnan.

But what's going on with the Shen family's tone? Don’t you know?

After hesitating for a while, he said truthfully: "I don't know much. I only know that in those days, the heads of the major families came into the palace one after another and had a detailed talk with His Majesty. In just three days, it seemed that all the major families Your Majesty has met all the aristocratic families."

"Oh?" Chen Qing and Shen Qi narrowed their eyes slightly, probably guessing what was going on.

"Then what?"

"Then His Majesty announced his attachment to Jiangnan, and no one in the court objected. It's really weird."

Chen Qing and Shen Qi nodded slightly. It was most likely what they thought.

"But after that, the heads of the major aristocratic families, as well as His Majesty, stayed behind closed doors."

"Closed?" Chen Qing looked at the other party: "Everyone?"
