Pei Zisheng naturally felt resentful when he recalled how he had been schemed against.
He later sent people to investigate, but in the end, the investigation led back to his own sister.
Pei Zisheng was completely stunned. His own sister, the current Empress, had actually conspired with the Yu family to frame him and seize his military power.
He once angrily went to the palace to ask her what she was after.
But her dear sister seemed to be bewitched, and kept changing the subject.
He was utterly disappointed in his sister. When he returned home, he wrote a letter to his father, telling General Pei the whole story.
His father replied, telling him to be patient and to make sure to protect Mo Chen.
But in the end, he still caused trouble for Mo Chen.
Although he sent people to search immediately, he currently has no troops or authority, and the number of people he can mobilize is limited. He has already sent out everyone he can from his family.
There has been no news since then, and Pei Zisheng keeps comforting himself that perhaps no news is the best news.
Pei Zisheng was thinking about how to find Xiao Mochen.
Just as he was feeling troubled, the gatekeeper rushed in and said that Eunuch Xiang had arrived.
Pei Zisheng's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
Soon he followed Eunuch Xiang into the palace and met the emperor.
Pei Zisheng knelt on the ground to pay his respects to the emperor. The emperor glanced at him and said, "Brother Pei, please get up."
Pei Zisheng almost burst into tears upon hearing this address, but he did not get up. He continued to kneel on the ground and said, "I made a mistake while drunk and failed Your Majesty's trust. I deserve to die."
The emperor sighed and said, "If Minister Pei dies, who will go to find Mo Chen for me?"
"You are his maternal uncle; I only trust you."
Upon hearing the emperor's words, Pei Zisheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I will set off immediately to find Mo Chen and bring him back safe and sound. I will not fail Your Majesty's trust."
The Emperor nodded and said, "Very good. I will send you a squad of Imperial Guards, plus ten secret guards."
They are all under your command. If anyone obstructs them along the way, you are authorized to kill them without mercy!
The emperor's words were resounding, demonstrating how much Xiao Mochen meant to him.
Pei Zisheng quickly agreed.
The emperor then bestowed upon him a jade tablet that symbolized his personal presence, granting him the authority to act as he saw fit.
After Pei Zisheng withdrew, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Eunuch Xiang, saying, "Do you think Mo Chen wouldn't hide if he saw his maternal uncle?"
Eunuch Xiang comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the Ninth Prince is a lucky man and will surely return safely."
"By the way, the secret guards who went to investigate Chengyang County have just returned. Would Your Majesty like to see them?"
Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately became interested and quickly ordered Eunuch Xiang to summon the person in.
The guard recounted in detail to the emperor all of Li Xiangping's usual actions.
The emperor was increasingly pleased as he listened. If all the officials of their Great Yan Dynasty were so dedicated, how could Great Yan not prosper?
After the guards withdrew, Eunuch Xiang spoke up: "I have met Lord Li before. He is honest and straightforward, and seems like a reliable person."
Not only Lord Li, but I think all of the Li family's children are exceptionally good.
This is all thanks to Ming Zhaoshuo's excellent parenting skills.
Eunuch Xiang held Yan Qingqing in high esteem and always spoke highly of her to the emperor.
The emperor was also curious and wanted to see what this Mingzhao Shuo Ren looked like.
It's a pity he's the emperor and can't leave the capital, but that's alright, Yan Qingqing can go to the capital if she has the chance.
If Yan Qingqing knew what the emperor was thinking, she would definitely think to herself that the emperor only needs to say a few words, while the ministers have to run themselves ragged.
In light of Li Xiangping's performance, the emperor quickly wrote an imperial edict of reward and sent someone directly to Chengyang County to deliver the decree.
By the time the Yu family realized what was happening, the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree had already left the capital.
Yan Qingqing brewed quite a lot of flower tea over the summer.
But it still wasn't enough for the merchants to share.
Many customers started placing orders last year, but the garden's production capacity is limited and cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities.
Moreover, Yan Qingqing set the price very high. That's how tea is; you need to define its market position.
Moreover, she had already had those merchants promote it beforehand.
Rose tea is a beauty and health-enhancing product, relieving depression, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen, relieving fatigue, and eliminating bad breath. It is especially beneficial for women.
Peony flower tea nourishes blood and qi, whitens skin and fades blemishes, promotes blood circulation and relieves pain. It also nourishes yin and kidneys, and can prevent lifestyle-related diseases.
Chrysanthemum tea can dispel wind and heat, clear the liver and improve eyesight, and calm liver yang. It is effective for relieving internal heat and sore throat.
Moreover, these customers have witnessed these effects firsthand.
They've been promoting it a lot, and many wealthy women have already made reservations with them in advance.
Now we don't have enough goods, and they've already received the deposit. How are we going to explain this to them?
Therefore, many customers surrounded Li Xiang'an, asking for goods.
Li Xiang'an was both happy and worried. He was happy that his products were so popular, and every item he released was a bestseller.
The worry is that there aren't enough goods, and these customers are all familiar faces; it's not good to offend any of them.
However, Li Xiang'an didn't want to bother Yan Qingqing with this matter anymore. After discussing it with Li Sanniu for a while, they decided to distribute the flower tea according to the proportion of goods they usually got from the workshop.
That way everyone can get something, and no one can really complain.
Of course, some people also approached Li Xiang'an privately, wanting to get more goods.
Li Xiang'an refused them all, citing reasons he had prepared beforehand.
Li Xiang'an told them that things are valued for their rarity, and that these things are more precious because they are scarce on the market, which is why ladies and young women consider appreciating flower tea an elegant affair.
If these things were readily available, they wouldn't cherish them, and over time they wouldn't fetch much money.
Their current flower teas all bear the Canghe Liji logo.
These flower teas are made from the finest quality flowers.
Moreover, the production process is strictly regulated, so even if someone tries to imitate it later, the quality and craftsmanship are far inferior to those of the Li family.
Seeing that Li Xiang'an's words made sense, the merchants stopped being so fixated on how much more goods they could take.
Li Xiang'an also breathed a sigh of relief.
Following this controversy over the flower tea, the Li family's food processing workshop has started hiring again.
Everyone has heard that a vermicelli workshop is going to be added to the processing plant.
Although they had never heard of vermicelli, it did not dampen their enthusiasm for working in the workshop.
Aside from the chemical cleaning workshop, the Li family hasn't hired workers on a large scale for a long time.
It was rare for the Li family to be recruiting on such a large scale again, and those who had wanted to work for the Li family but hadn't been able to get in before were all determined to do so this time.
Yan Qingqing entrusted the entire recruitment process to Li Xiang'an.
Li Xiang'an has become very mature and steady after these years of experience, so he is quite adept at handling this matter.
