For a bite of food, everyone rebelled, but what to do?
The Queen Mother also opened other canned foods to try. The stewed beef was very tasty and the sea fish was crispy and delicious with an excellent taste.
Older people like strong-flavored and crispy food, which suits the Queen Mother's taste.
"Princess Qingping, do you still have this can of sea fish?"
As the Queen Mother, it is not difficult for her to eat wild delicacies such as beef, but it is very difficult for her to eat seafood. The roads are blocked and seafood is not easy to transport. By the time it arrives in the capital, it has become smelly.
Mu Wanqing didn't expect that she would like canned fish so much. "Yes, there is, but you can't eat it often. Just eat it occasionally to change things up."
The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, "I know, please send some more to the palace."
This girl is still the best. She knows how to play, eat, and has many ideas.
"yes."
The Queen Mother was in a very happy mood. "Come here, give the Princess of Qingping a pair of night-shining pearls, a bucket of rubies, a bucket of pearls, and twelve rolls of tribute satin."
Mu Wanqing bowed with a smile, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Seeing this, the wife of the Deputy Minister swallowed her saliva. At her age, she didn't care about anything else but food. "Qingping County Yi, are these two cans for sale?"
If the Empress Dowager, who is used to eating delicacies from land and sea, says it is delicious, then it must be good.
Mu Wanqing had no opinion on her, "Yes, but in limited quantities."
The second assistant's wife was overjoyed and said, "Then leave a copy for me, don't forget it."
"OK."
Others had already been greedy and followed suit, making the place look like a vegetable market.
Mu Wanqing had a very good temper and agreed with a smile. It didn't matter who she was selling.
This wave of advertising is worth it.
The wife of the Deputy Minister was very happy and could not help complaining to the man, "Didn't you say that Princess Qingping has a bad personality? You call this bad? You guys are clearly bullying a good girl. I think she has a pure smile and is gentle and polite. She is a good person."
Ci Fu: ...Haha, you were attracted by a can?
The emperor looked at this lively scene with a slight smile on his face.
Mu Wanqing has many tricks and her methods are very sophisticated.
Her last canned food plan was successfully tested. If it is promoted according to her ideas, specialties from any place can be sold thousands of miles away. Once the southern and northern goods are circulated, huge profits will be created.
The thought of this made him feel very happy.
After this palace banquet, Mu Wanqing became the most popular person. Everyone wanted to get close to her and get some rare things from her.
There are elderly people in my family, and ever since I saw the Queen Mother eating canned fruit, I have been thinking about them.
If it’s not available for sale outside, I can only ask Mu Wanqing for help.
There aren't many canned fruits, but there are still one or two left.
She doesn't charge any money either.
Who would dare to go against her?
The kaleidoscope was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves in the store. Those who couldn't buy it were so anxious that they had to place a deposit.
Glass lamps are a must-buy item for every household. When you meet acquaintances when you go out, the first thing you ask is, "Have you bought it?"
The product is so popular that Mu Wanqing has already given instructions to launch new products as soon as possible.
The glass lamps sold in the store are different in style from those presented to the palace, so they cannot go beyond the rules, but there is more room for selection.
There are lotus lanterns, plum blossom lanterns, peach blossom lanterns, landscapes, and paintings of flowers, birds, and ladies.
I made a lot of money before the Chinese New Year.
As for the watches, they naturally attracted people's attention. Even though Mu Wanqing said that the quantity was limited and only six watches would be sold a month, priced at RMB 10,000 each, it still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm and they placed orders one after another.
She made a fortune again.
It is the consensus of countless people that following Princess Qingping will lead to eating meat.
Haven't you seen how comfortable the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War are? I won't mention anything else. During the Chinese New Year, they received double salaries and a big gift bag, which contained four rolls of cotton cloth, two quilts, two kilograms of cotton wool, and ten free coupons for the food court. It was just the right time to take the family out for a good time.
This is not very tempting for high-ranking officials, but it is a great help to ordinary officials, as they can spend a warm winter.
Everyone who received the gift package was overjoyed and showed great love to Mu Wanqing, hoping that she could stay in the court for a long time.
As for the rejection before? Ah, is that true? Absolutely not.
Women can’t be officials? They never said that!
As long as it can bring them benefits, does it matter whether it is a man or a woman?
As a result, the officials under the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Rites were completely upset. They made a fuss and jointly protested against their superiors' inaction.
If you have the ability to lead your subordinates to live a good life, you will naturally be respected.
But, you have no ability. Not only do you occupy the toilet without doing anything, but you also oppress your subordinates and prevent them from living a good life.
Then who will obey you?
The three departments were in a turmoil. The superiors refused to compromise, and the subordinates became angry, so they simply sent some evidence to the emperor.
These people in high positions are not all innocent. They have done many dirty things in order to get to the top, such as eliminating dissidents, corruption, deceiving themselves and others, etc.
They all deceive their superiors and bully their subordinates, and every complaint from their subordinates goes unanswered.
The emperor was worried that he had no excuse to deal with these stubborn old guys, so he immediately ordered the Wuyi Guard to conduct a thorough investigation.
After this investigation, all the muddy and dirty things were uncovered.
Well, the emperor took the opportunity to replace him with a group of new people, all of whom are his confidants.
At this point, the handover between the old and new forces was completed.
A new emperor has new ministers. From the moment the emperor inherits the throne, it is destined that a new group of old ministers will be replaced.
Since the old ministers themselves are unwilling to retire, then they will have no choice but to be dismissed.
Mu Wanqing, who was standing at the center of the vortex, was not sucked in and just watched quietly from the side.
Although the emperor replaced his team with people he trusted, it was impossible for all the civil and military officials in the court to live in harmony.
Where there are people, there will be disputes.
This New Year is a little special. Without any family around, Mu Wanqing simply called all the clansmen together to celebrate the New Year.
They were all young people, like-minded, and they gathered together to stay up all night. Mu Wanqing got out some mahjong, opened a few tables, and ate and drank while playing cards, having a lot of fun.
Don’t go anywhere on New Year’s Day and just have a good rest.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Wanqing dressed up beautifully and went out, making an appointment with her clansmen to go shopping in Temple Street together.
As soon as she walked out of the house, someone stopped her, "Niece Wanqing."
Mu Wanqing glanced at them indifferently. They were a mother and her two children. The middle-aged woman was the biological daughter of Old Lady Mu, Second Aunt Mu, who later married into the Minister of Works' mansion.
In the past, the Mu family was confiscated and exiled. When the family was about to leave the city, Second Aunt Mu came late and brought some silver and clothes for Old Lady Mu.
As for Mu Wanqing's family, not only did they not get anything, they were also ridiculed.
"Isn't this Grandma Sun Er? I almost didn't recognize her."
Grandma Sun's expression froze. Her father-in-law was dismissed from his post and the whole family had to return to their hometown to live.
How could Sun Ernai, who had been living a life of luxury and comfort, be willing to leave the capital? Leave the circle of power?
Look, I've found it.
She pulled her two children forward and said with an apologetic smile, "Shoucheng, this is your cousin. Ling'er, you should call her cousin."
"Thank you for your courtesy, cousin." Sun Shoucheng raised his eyebrows and showed a pretentious smile.
"Greetings to my cousin." Sun Bailing looked at Mu Wanqing, who was dressed in brocade, with envy. The brocade she was wearing was more valuable than gold. It was a tribute and was only provided to the royal family.
There were only ten horses in total, four went to the Queen Mother, two went to the Queen, one to each of the three princesses, and the remaining one was given to Mu Wanqing.
Also, the snow-white fox fur that Mu Wanqing was wearing was shiny and smooth, without a single stray hair, a priceless treasure.
The jasper hairpin on her head and the mutton-fat jade pendant around her waist are both treasures.
This outfit cannot be purchased without tens of thousands of dollars, so how can people not be jealous?
In fact, the jewelry was given by the Queen Mother, and the fox fur was given by Du Shaoxuan. Mu Wanqing spent very little energy on this aspect.
"Don't recognize relatives randomly. I don't have any cousins."
Sun Shoucheng frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Cousin, I know you have complaints against my mother. It's not that she didn't want to help you, but she really had no choice. The elders in the family didn't agree, and my grandmother had such a bad temper. Mother has been feeling guilty all these years, and she keeps talking about this matter every day, and it has become a mental illness."
"I hope you can forgive her for having to do this. There are always so many things in life that are beyond your control. You can understand that, right?"
This man is a bit teary. Mu Wanqing played with the jade pendant on her waist and said, "No."
Sun Family: ...
Grandma Sun took a deep breath and said, "Wanqing, I know I am sorry for you, but I have my reasons. I have always liked my second brother, but my mother doesn't like him. If we get too close, he will be the one in trouble. For his own good, I can only stay away from him. But I always miss my second brother and you kids in my heart."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes became red and tears glistened in them.
Mu Wanqing watched her performance quietly, "Puchi, it's hard for you to come up with such a ridiculous reason, it can only be used to fool a three-year-old child."
Grandma Sun clenched her right hand into a fist under her sleeve and said, "Every word I said is true. I swear to heaven."
"Go ask the officials in the court whether they believe it or not?" Mu Wanqing just thought it was a joke. "Old Madam Mu's IQ is not high. The children she gave birth to are all a bit stupid. She actually wanted to deceive me. What an idiot who overestimates his own abilities."
Before coming, Second Grandma Sun had already prepared herself mentally, and said, "Wanqing, I beg you, no matter how bad the old lady is, she is still your grandmother. She is already in her twilight years. Please go and ask the emperor to show some leniency, forgive her sins, and let her return to the capital."
She added, "The emperor will also think that you are filial and a person who can be entrusted with important matters."
She was a bit scheming, but unfortunately she met Mu Wanqing. "You want me to be partial to you and use this as an excuse to bring me down? You are so mean. I knew you were here to seek revenge. Come on, drive them away."
She showed no mercy at all, and there was nothing to say to such a malicious person.
Grandma Sun couldn't help but get anxious, "That's not the case. You are a good child, but you are too thoughtful and have too many ideas."
Her eyes darted, "By the way, when will your parents return to the capital? I want to talk to them about your marriage with Shoucheng."
Mu Wanqing suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. What?
"Are you mentally ill? Is your brain broken? There's a drugstore a mile ahead. Go get treatment."
Grandma Sun Er was furious and annoyed, and she shouted, "You and Shoucheng were engaged since birth. Your parents arranged this marriage before you were born. This is a closer relationship."
The sound was particularly loud and passers-by gathered around. Princess Qingping was engaged?
Mu Wanqing laughed out of anger. It turned out to be a scam. This was really crazy.
Is the Sun family desperate? They even dare to get involved with her.
"you……"
A clear voice rang out, "Who is making trouble in front of the Qingping County Lord's Mansion? Catch them all."
"This is a private matter between our two families, no one should meddle..." Grandma Sun saw the young man coming over and her pupils trembled. "Ah, Commander Wei."
The author has something to say:
Remember this man?
