“Only one of our shops is purchased, and the other two are rented, so the biggest expense of buying a shop is eliminated.

The profit of the three shops alone is already 10,000 taels, and it has only been three months.

The part that was supplied to the military camp was even more, amounting to 18,000 taels.

All together it is twenty-eight thousand taels.

If we continue at this rate, how much will we earn in one, two, or many years?"

The more Yu Zheng thought about it, the happier she felt.

"Madam, we only have three shops now. If I open shops all over the continent, how many shops do you think we will have?" Shangguan Ziqi was even more ambitious.

"Didn't we say this before? We want to open stores in all cities, whether they are domestic or foreign."

"Hey, after you give birth, I will take you and the child to travel all over Wei, and open a shop wherever I go."

"Well, this is a good idea. I like it. Now you can start opening stores in a few surrounding cities. You don't have to travel far. You can get here in a few days at most. When the child is six months old, you can travel far away."

"But Madam still makes money faster by seeing patients, 10,000 taels each time." Shangguan Ziqi couldn't help but click his tongue when he thought of Madam's 10,000 taels of medical fee.

"I was deliberately taking advantage of the situation. It's not like I can do that every day. Look, no one has invited me for so long."

"Is your husband also a victim?"

"Yes, my father gave her the money at that time." After the spring thunder, the money was handed to her.

Both of them couldn't help laughing when talking about this.

But the banknote was stained with Chunlei's blood. Later, he took it to the government office to exchange the old one for a new one.

The silver bills of the Wei Dynasty were all printed and issued uniformly by the government to facilitate trade among merchants.

Ordinary people usually use copper coins and small change.

Time soon arrived and it was New Year's Eve.

This year the palace held another grand banquet because the emperor was very happy this year as the eldest prince finally agreed to get married, and the second and third princes were also of marriageable age.

The Queen issued a notice requesting all officials and nobles to bring young ladies of marriageable age into the palace.

The princes of the Wei Dynasty usually got married after they were eighteen years old, and the emperor did not arrange marriages for them. Instead, the emperor let their mothers choose the right person for them. Once they found someone they liked and talked to each other, the emperor would grant the marriage. This gave the princes a lot of room for independent choice.

Several generations of emperors did this, which also allowed their sons to find women they liked as wives, thus reducing the number of resentful couples.

The most crucial thing is that if a prince ascends the throne in the future and the emperor and empress are in a good relationship, then the possibility of the legitimate son becoming the crown prince is very high, and there will be less disputes over imperial power.

This is also a kind of foresight.

Apart from Yu Chaoyang, Yu Zhenzheng doesn't need a mistress in the palace, even the princess consort needs one. She has just been diagnosed with pregnancy and her belly hasn't grown yet, so there is no problem for her to enter the palace. Besides, the status of Prince Rong's Palace is second only to the royal family, so it would not be appropriate without a mistress.

Of course, the Second Madam, the Third Madam and Concubine Luo, who have no status, don't need to be treated like this either.

Everything else is fine.

Shangguan Ziqi gave repeated instructions before leaving.

Let Yu Zheng go to the Qiyayuan and don't go anywhere else. He will come before dark.

Yu Zheng nodded obediently countless times.

It seemed as if she would be in danger if she left him.

Before Shangguan Ziqi left, he arranged Chunlei and Xiayu to protect them in a dark place.

Yu Chaoyang lay in bed for more than ten days, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Today she learned that Princess Nanhua had entered the palace.

There are only a few masters in the palace, and she thought that she hadn't left the courtyard for so many days and wanted to go out for a walk.

She was bored to death. Recently, only Concubine Luo and the Third Lady occasionally came to see her, and no one else came to the Shuxiang Courtyard. Even Shangguan Zishu only went to Liu Ma to ask about the situation of the Crown Prince's Concubine every three days.

Yu Chaoyang really listened to her mother's words and treated Shangguan Zishu as if he were dead. All she wanted was to have this child.

Once a woman's heart is no longer on a man, she can live a happy life, so she only took the medicine for three days, and the redness disappeared, and the fetus became stable.

"Bihe, get me a thicker cloak, and let's go for a walk in the garden." Yu Chaoyang ordered.

"Princess, you'd better not leave the courtyard. It's cold outside and it just snowed a few days ago."

"Hasn't the snow settled? There's no ice on the road. I've been locked up in this room for a few days. If I don't get some fresh air, I'll be covered in hair." Yu Chaoyang had also considered this. She was also afraid of being plotted against.

Of course, the plan she had in mind was definitely referring to Princess Nanhua. No one else in this mansion could plot against her except her.

䀴Nanhua had already entered the palace today, how could he plot against her?

Seeing that their master was so determined, the maids stopped trying to persuade her.

They also knew that their mistress had been locked up in the room for too long, which was bad for her health.

It's even worse for the baby in your belly.

Four big maids escorted them on both sides and slowly left Shuxiangyuan.

"There is a flower house in the garden. There should be some flowers blooming at this time, especially the chrysanthemums, which won't wither so early. Let's go and take a look at the chrysanthemums. Seeing the flowers makes me feel better." Yu Chaoyang was in the mood to see the flowers.

Several maids surrounded Yu Chaoyang and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

New Year’s Eve is when the weather is relatively cold.

The cold wind blew on my body, making me shiver unconsciously.

But this couldn't stop Yu Chaoyang from wanting to get some fresh air.

She had actually been locked up in her own yard for too long.

"It's still spring now. In winter, everything looks yellow and withered. But there are some trees in the palace's garden that don't lose their leaves. Just looking at the green can make my eyes feel comfortable." Yu Chaoyang said with emotion.

It was not easy to leave that small world, and Yu Chaoyang felt much more relaxed both physically and mentally.

Looking at the scenery along the way, even though I have seen it many times, it feels different from the past.

Many of the weeds in the garden have withered, but the evergreens on both sides of the path are still dark green.

Several tall pine trees swayed constantly in the cold winter wind.

There is still a thin layer of sunshine today, and it is already afternoon.

"It's nice to come out for a walk. It doesn't feel as cold now as when I first came out."

"What the Crown Princess said is true. But you should still look at the road under your feet." Bihe always paid attention to her feet and held her arm with her hand.

If anything happens to the master, they, the servants, will be held responsible even if they die.

I arrived at the room smoothly.

The 嵟房 is actually very simple. It is just a room with four hollow sides. Some bamboo pipes are installed inside. Hot water runs in the pipes, which makes the temperature of this small piece of heaven and earth slightly higher so that the 嵟 will not wither so quickly.

"Just as I guessed, there are still some chrysanthemums that have not withered." Yu Chaoyang saw several pots of green clouds in full bloom.

Walking into the garden and smelling the unique fragrance of chrysanthemums, she felt relaxed and happy.

A lot of the depression that had been building up in my heart over the past few days has dissipated.

Yu Chaoyang carefully appreciated each pot of blooming chrysanthemums.

She then identified all the other flowers that had not yet bloomed, and discussed with several maids what kind of flowers they would bloom next spring.

"Princess, we have been out for long enough, let's go back home." Bihe was always worried about accidents.

"Let's go. Look how worried I am about you guys." Yu Chaoyang didn't make things difficult for the maids.

The few of them continued walking along the same route. When they were about to leave the garden and passed by a big pine tree, there were a few steps to go down.

"Princess, please be careful." Bihe and Qinghe each supported one of her arms and prepared to go down the stairs.

But the unexpected happens at this moment.

Yu Chaoyang felt as if his legs were pushed by something.

Then she bent her legs and leaned forward. She was heavy, and the two maids were not warriors, just ordinary women. And they were in the process of going down the stairs, so they could not hold Yu Chaoyang at all, and then the two maids were dragged forward.

Bihe was very quick-eyed and quick-footed. She knew she couldn't hold the Crown Prince's Consort back, so she fell to the ground first and let the Crown Prince's Consort fall on her.

"Ah!" With a scream, the three of them fell to the ground together.
