After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister

Mu Wan Qing was dressed as cannon fodder playing a female supporting role in a book about a reborn female protagonist.

The heroine was her amazing and talented cousin. She was reborn on the w...

Chapter 282

The emperor supported it and allocated 12,000 taels of silver to his daughter.

Instead of letting her make trouble all day, it is better to spend all her energy on running the newspaper.

However, at that time he didn't know what this newspaper meant. It took a long time for him to understand it, and by then he was already out of control.

The Royal Life Guide Weekly is written by the Emperor himself.

A three-courtyard house not far from the imperial palace became an office space. The first courtyard was a reception room and a showroom for displaying finished products, the second courtyard was an office and conference room, and the third courtyard was a staff dormitory.

The eldest princess sent invitations to several noble ladies who shared similar personalities, inviting them to work together.

The ladies were all very surprised, but at the same time very excited. They all agreed and came to work every day in an orderly manner.

My family is very supportive and it’s an honor to be associated with the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has set her sights on the food club at the Royal Technical School. The school has clubs for various interests and hobbies, which are particularly interesting.

Like Zhou Xiaodong, who ranked first in the first entrance examination, he came from a poor family but had excellent grades in all subjects. He has now completed four years of basic education and was admitted to the master's program. He will study for another three years to specialize in chemistry.

Of course, his love for food is engraved in his bones. He even founded a food club in school to share food with like-minded friends. He can talk about it fluently, which is also a way for him to relax.

The eldest princess approached him, paid for him to explore the store with his friends.

They are responsible for writing a food review and can receive royalties.

Zhou Xiaodong agreed readily. Who wouldn't be happy if he could eat for free and make money at the same time?

Just like that, the makeshift team was set up.

All things are difficult at the beginning. This group of young people soon discovered that running a newspaper was not as easy as they had imagined, but they were young, fearless and full of enthusiasm.

After several months of hard work, the finished product was finally handed to Mu Wanqing.

She and the emperor were responsible for the final review.

Mu Wanqing casually flipped through the freshly published weekly magazine, which had four pages in total. The first page was the headlines, the most exciting and interesting things in the city, the second page was about exploring restaurants in Beijing, the third page was about the world of food, and the fourth page was about skills.

The theme of this issue of Beijing store exploration is clothing. It introduces several time-honored brands in Beijing, clearly describing the advantages and disadvantages of each brand, and also prints out the representative styles of each brand. This is the area that the upper-class women are most interested in.

Although it is immature, you can see that it was done with care.

The Food World specially selected a Hunan restaurant. The text and food pictures make it look particularly tempting, making people want to follow suit.

The skill section introduces how to make kimchi. The steps are written in great detail. As long as you follow the steps a few times, you can make delicious kimchi that goes well with rice.

Mu Wanqing curled the corner of her mouth and handed the newspaper to Du Shaoxuan on the side.

Du Shaoxuan was a little surprised. "The eldest princess has actually accomplished something at this age. Not bad, not bad. The young are formidable. Of course, it's also because of Teacher Mu's good teaching."

He thought the matter was over.

Teacher Mu: ...

Du Shaoxuan read the newspaper from beginning to end. As he read, a thought came to his mind, "Why do these things look like..."

Mu Wanqing wrote down her review opinions on a piece of paper, one by one, "What does it look like?"

"It's an extension of your will." Du Shaoxuan looked at these and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. "Is it really just something you mentioned casually about running a newspaper?"

Mu Wanqing paused, her expression inexplicable. He was more perceptive than she thought. "I wanted to start a newspaper, but the time is not right, so I let the princess explore the way first."

This is tantamount to admitting that she was the one driving all this behind the scenes.

Du Shaoxuan was a little confused. "You have always been bold, why are you hesitant about something like this? This is not like your style."

Mu Wanqing smiled faintly and said, "That's because you don't know the power and sensitivity of newspapers yet."

Newspapers are propaganda mouthpieces and sharp weapons for criticism. They are most likely to carry private agendas and arouse the suspicion of those above them.

Therefore, she is not in a hurry to deal with this area. She will wait until the situation is more stable, the people have money in their hands, more people can read, and can accept new things.

She sent the final draft to the emperor, who praised his daughter highly after reading it and approved it directly.

He didn't notice anything unusual and just thought it was all his daughter's hard work.

New things are destined to be unfamiliar, and only Du Shaoxuan could guess a little because he was too familiar with her.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, and followed his wishes to praise the eldest princess, and also praised the emperor by the way. This is called "like father, like daughter", which made him very happy.

The first issue of the newspaper was half-sold and half-given away. Officials and wealthy businessmen all subscribed to a copy to support the eldest princess's career. It only cost twenty cents anyway.

Some were given to poor scholars and teahouses so that they could read the newspapers to the people around them.

Every week, students from the Royal Technical School are asked to read newspapers in the marketplace for a whole day. They are paid and can earn points for social practice, so everyone rushes to go.

Ordinary people don’t pay attention to other things, but when they hear about the method of making kimchi, they feel like they have found a treasure and beg others to read it several times, write it down and try to make it at home.

After making it a few more times, it actually worked. After trying it, it tasted pretty good. Those who were smart took it to restaurants and inns to try selling it, and they actually accepted it.

Although restaurants and inns can make the recipe themselves, it is not cost-effective because of the time and labor involved.

And these two things are what poor families have the most.

The changes are small, but, under the butterfly effect, who knows what will happen in the future?

Mu Wanqing was only responsible for making suggestions and pushed the review work to others.

The Queen Mother refused at first, thinking that it was not a good thing for a woman to show up in public. But she could not stand the eldest princess's crying, making a fuss and threatening to commit suicide, and she truly loved her granddaughter, so she had to compromise.

Afterwards, she was taken out by Du Shaoxuan to visit stores incognito a few times. After eating and drinking, she fell in love with this activity.

The Queen Mother tried all the restaurants on the top floor of the food court, and I have to say it was worth the trip.

She especially liked tea restaurants, as the same food in the palace could not have such a leisurely and relaxed atmosphere.

Du Shaoxuan tore off the legs of the roasted pigeon, gave one to the Queen Mother and one to Du Shuai, "This is delicious, try it."

Du Shuai never leaves his house and refuses all social activities, but today he was dragged out by his son to have dinner with the Queen Mother.

He took a bite and it tasted okay. "Is this also Princess Qingping's shop?"

It was his first time here and he felt it was quite fresh.

Du Shaoxuan shook his head slightly and handed over another serving of fried rice noodles. "It was her idea, but these are all owned by the government. Don't you know that these stores can support all the government's expenses?"

Du Shuai couldn't help but smile. "Princess Qingping has always been an expert in economics, and no one can match her. She was very successful in Xiliang and turned the desolate Xiliang into the Jiangnan region outside the Great Wall."

The Queen Mother curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "Brother, do you really want to let such a woman into the house? Shaoxuan can't control her at all."

At the beginning, she had a good impression of Mu Wanqing because Mu Wanqing was a generous person.

But as Mu Wanqing's position became higher and higher and her influence in the court grew, she began to dislike it.

In her opinion, the best destiny for a woman is to get married and have children, rather than competing with men for power and profit.

Mu Wanqing was very dissatisfied because her beloved nephew had not yet married at such an old age and her Du family still had no descendants.

This is all Mu Wanqing's fault.

There is no reason for the old lady to vent her anger on others.

Unfortunately, the emperor didn't care, and Mu Wanqing didn't care either, so she ended up sulking alone.

Du Shuai's hair turned white overnight, and he looked particularly old. "If Princess Qingping is willing to marry Shaoxuan, it will be a blessing for the Du family. It doesn't matter who suppresses whom. As long as they are happy and happy, that's fine."

After he escaped death, he became more open-minded and decided to just let things take their course.

Du Shaoxuan smiled and said, "Yes, Queen Mother, please stop holding me back. If I can't get married and remain single, the Du family will be left with no descendants, and you will be the biggest sinner of the Du family."

The old queen was furious. She couldn't keep this nephew any more. "Get lost."

Look, the people involved don't care, but she is the only one who is still brooding over it, like a big fool.

Du Shaoxuan playfully took the old empress dowager's arm, and soon made the old empress dowager laugh heartily.

Seeing this, Du Shuai shook his head slightly and drank sake silently.

Suddenly, there was a noise coming from next door. The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard the familiar voice and moved to the door to eavesdrop.

The corners of Du Shaoxuan's mouth twitched. What an old child! What an old child! This is absolutely true.

Next door, a man in fancy clothes had a hint of interest in his eyes, "Girl, you have successfully attracted my attention. Who are you from? I will come to propose marriage to you...ah."

A whip came down, knocking off his greasy smile and making him scream in pain.

The eldest princess had a dinner party with her employees to celebrate, but who would have thought that someone would bump into her and target her subordinates and try to rob them. How disgusting!

"You are blind, I..." The eldest princess was traveling incognito, wearing convenient Hu clothing, very low-key. "How can you tease my lady, you bastard?"

She wielded the whip with great force, whipping the man until he was covered in blood.

The man had never suffered such a loss before, and he gasped in pain, "Why are you standing there? Come on together."

His companions looked at each other, thinking that it would not be good if news got out that he was fighting with a bunch of girls.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you my rare and precious 12-zodiac glass cup."

Upon hearing this, companions came forward to help. They thought that it would be no problem to take down a group of young girls. As it turned out, these girls were all tough and not afraid at all. They fought as a team, with several people against one, and started a siege.

They smashed dishes, whipped people, and shot people with slingshots, making them look extremely embarrassed.

The store has security guards, but they only maintain order outside and do not go over to stop them. This attitude is also very interesting.

The diners standing by watched in amazement. Nowadays, the social atmosphere has changed. Not only can women go out openly, they even dare to fight in the street.

I don't know when the world started to change.

The Queen Mother stared blankly at her eldest granddaughter wielding a whip cruelly, her eyes shining, her movements agile, and she looked like a skilled fighter.

Is this still her cute and adorable granddaughter? She can't even recognize her! She must be dazzled! This is just her granddaughter who looks like her.

That was not all. The princess knocked the man to the ground, stepped on his chest, and shouted fiercely, "Do you still dare to rob me? Ah, believe it or not, I will destroy you..."

She moved her foot down, aimed at the man's lower body, and pretended to kick him.

The Queen Mother was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, and could not help but shout, "Shengping."

The eldest princess' body stiffened and she turned back suddenly, shocked as if she had seen a ghost.

Ahhh, the Empress Dowager? Why is she here? Damn it!

The Queen Mother's face turned green. Please tell me, what should I do if I see my granddaughters fighting so wildly?
