Chapter 125 The more I look at my son-in-law, the more satisfied I am
There was a constant stream of dissenting voices from the audience. Murong Qingling looked at the people in the audience calmly.
She curled her red lips and smiled calmly, raised her hand to signal for silence, and then said: "I know your concerns, but these do not exist!
She is indeed my biological daughter! I gave birth to her fifteen years ago in Yueqi Country, no doubt about it! The royal bloodline cannot be confused! I can guarantee this!"
"Your Majesty, our Lanxi Kingdom is different from other countries. Conferring a princess is a major event that will shake the foundation of the country. Your Majesty, you have made such a hasty decision on this matter, which is a bit rash! So, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
At this time, Regent Mo Feng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so anxious to confer a title on a princess? The princess of our Lanxi Kingdom cannot be just anyone. Your Majesty, do you think we are fools? If you can just pick anyone to be a princess, then Lanxi Kingdom will have too many princesses, right?
May I ask where is the princess you are going to confer the title of Your Majesty? It would be nice if we could meet her so we can make plans!"
Mo Feng's words aroused the support of the ministers below the stage. They all made their stand clear and wanted to see the princess at all costs.
Murong Qingling's eyes flashed coldly as she glanced at the ministers below the stage. Humph! A bunch of old men would unite to threaten her. Now she has her daughter's support behind her. How could she be forced by these people?
He said coldly: "Humph! Are you questioning my decision?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not! I am also doing this for the good of our country!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Some of these female officials were promoted by Murong Qingling, but they were powerless. After Mo Feng became the regent, he secretly eliminated many female officials. The court has now become a man's world.
Suddenly, a resounding voice rang out from outside the palace:
"I heard you were discussing my princess? I'm here to join in the fun!"
Everyone turned around and saw the King walking in, the center of everyone's attention.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! I, the King, would also like to join in the fun. I wonder if Your Majesty would grant me permission?"
Murong Qingling smiled slightly and said, "Of course! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Prince Yu!"
"Your Majesty, is it inappropriate for the Prince to appear in the court of our Lanxi Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Prince is still a prince, and it is not appropriate for him to discuss state affairs with us here!"
Mo Rong Qingling smiled but said nothing. Helian Chi glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with me being here? Aren't you all interested in my princess?"
A minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this is too serious. We are discussing state affairs. When did we become interested in your princess?"
"Oh, if you are not interested in my princess, why did you clamor to see her just now?"
As soon as the words fell, all the ministers, including Mo Feng, were stunned, and then shocked. Everyone's face was different.
"Could it be that the princess His Majesty is going to enthrone is the Princess of Yueqi Kingdom?"
Murong Qingling nodded and said, "That's right! Princess Yunli of Yueqi Kingdom is my biological daughter. Back then, my father, the emperor, and my mother were assassinated, and I was pursued by the traitorous grandson who plotted rebellion. I fled all the way to Yueqi Kingdom and gave birth to Yunli. Later, I returned to Yueqi Kingdom, but Yunli was still young. For safety reasons, I left behind the senior palace maid Zhao Momo by my side to raise Yunli!"
Therefore, Yunli is my own flesh and blood, not just some random person as the Regent says. Do you understand, Regent? Do others understand?
I came here today to tell you, not to discuss with you!"
After Murong Qingling finished speaking, she looked at Mo Feng fiercely.
There was an uproar in the audience, and the ministers whispered to each other. After a moment, one of them stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you on the return of the princess!"
Afterwards, the other ministers joined in, saying, "Your Majesty, we congratulate you on the princess's return!"
Ministry of Rites and Imperial Observatory
"Your Majesty, please give your orders."
"Select an auspicious date for the coronation as soon as possible, and hold the ceremony to the highest standards! This is the first princess of our Lanxi Kingdom, and her status is noble. There must be no mistakes!"
"Yes! Your humble servant obeys your order!"
"Dismiss the court!"
Murong Qingling stood up and left
"Your Majesty, we respectfully bid you farewell!"
…
In the back hall, Murong Qingling, Helian Chi, and Yun Li sat facing each other.
Murong Qingling looked at Helian Chi and said, "Prince Yu, I believe Li'er has already told you everything!"
Helian Chi nodded: "Yes, Li'er told me this morning!"
"Since Li'er has chosen you, and you have two children, I believe in her judgment. The bond between you transcends time and space. I hope you can work together in the future and live up to each other!"
Helian Chi said firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will never let Li'er down. She is the one I hold dear to my heart, and she is the only one for me in this life!"
Murong Qingling looked at the handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes with a satisfied look on her face, and felt that he was a perfect match for her daughter!
"Yes! I believe you! Now, wouldn't it be too strange to call you His Majesty?"
Helian Chi was slightly surprised, then laughed and called out: "Mother!"
Murong Qingling responded with a bright face: "Hey!"
"Mother, I have already secretly planned the affairs of the Mo Mansion and am just waiting for Mo Feng to join in!
I originally wanted to secretly investigate their handles, but this wastes too much time. Instead of doing that, it is better to create handles and wipe out the Mo family as quickly as possible."
Murong Qingling warned: "Mo Feng is not that easy to deal with. He is quite cunning."
"I understand! Don't worry, mother! Just leave this matter to me!"
"Well, I'm very relieved to leave it to you! I'm just waiting for Li'er to inherit the throne as soon as possible so I can retire."
Helian Chi was shocked: "My mother wants Li'er to inherit the throne?"
Murong Qingling glanced at Yun Li. "Huh? Why didn't she tell you?"
Helian Chi shook his head, and they both looked at Yun Li
Yun Li quickly swallowed the tea in her mouth and waved her hands, saying, "Don't look at me! This happened a few years ago, why are you talking about this now?
And even if I inherit the throne now, Helian Chi can't give up his position as Prince Yu and come here to be my husband, right?"
Helian Chi laughed and said, "Li'er, are you really worried about this? How do you know I won't be your husband?"
Yun Li raised an eyebrow. "Why? Are you willing?"
"Of course I do! It's not bad to be the man behind you!"
Murong Qingling watched the two of them flirting and felt like a light bulb.
"Alright, you two might as well think about how to unify the world. That way, no one has to separate and one person can manage it!"
The two looked at each other, then looked at Murong Qingling
Yun Li sighed: "Mom, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!"
Murong Qingling shook her head: "I don't have any ambitions, I just think it's a waste to have your weapons gather dust!"
Helian Chi said excitedly: "Li'er, I think what mother said can be considered!"
…
These days Murong Qingling was too lazy to go to court, and she was happy to hold her two children every day. Yun Li was also happy to see this. Since the day she announced her identity, she asked Anye and Anye to secretly protect her mother. Helian Chi also secretly passed the message to other Shadow Guards to come to Lanxi Kingdom.
There was also the Northwestern Army stationed on the northwest border. He also dispatched 10,000 troops, dressed them up as ordinary people, and secretly entered the territory of Lanxi Kingdom!
With space weapons in hand, these 10,000 men are enough to deal with the Mo Mansion. Perhaps with a thorough plan, they won't need a single soldier.
Helian Chi went out early and came back late every day. Yunli had been accompanying Murong Qingling in the palace for several days. One day, she felt a little bored and wanted to go out of the palace to walk around the streets.
The main reason was that Helian Chi found out that the Mo Mansion was growing stronger and stronger. There was a reason for that. On the streets of Huacheng alone, almost all the shops with good locations were owned by the Mo Mansion. Some of the shops next to the Mo Mansion shops were nothing more than branches of the Mo Mansion.
After careful counting, more than half of Huacheng is controlled by the Mo family! This makes Yunli amazed. The wolf ambition of the Mo family is obvious. If this continues, the Lanxi Kingdom will probably change its name in no time.
Fortunately, she arrived in time, otherwise her mother alone would definitely not be a match for the Mo family, and sooner or later she would be a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others!
She wanted to go to the shops in the Mo Mansion and see if she could do anything for Helian Chi, such as destroying them and cheating them out of a large sum of money...
So he took Bai Zhi with him, and the two of them disguised themselves and left the palace.
She has learned that some of the shops under the name of the Mo Mansion are rented out to merchants, and the shops with the best locations are run by herself.
They run five major industries: casinos, pawnshops, banks, and spice and rouge trading companies.
Among these five industries, the most profitable one is the rouge and powder trading business. It is said that the rouge and powder of the Mo Mansion are sold to four countries and are well-known throughout the world. Even the rouge and powder shops in the capital of Yueqi Kingdom are mostly sold by them.
The second is spices and casinos! These industries almost support the entire economy of the Mo family.
Yun Li thought to herself, if these most profitable industries were to be destroyed, wouldn't that be equivalent to draining half of the Mo family's blood?
If he lost his financial resources, what could he use to compete with her for political power and military authority?
Yunli rolled her eyes and thought of the makeup and perfumes in her space.
So I came up with an idea and went straight to the rouge and powder shop in Mo's house.
When she arrived at the Rouge and Powder Shop, Yun Li was also amazed. She finally understood why he could become so big and powerful! Why is it called Rouge and Powder Shop? It is three stories high. The first floor is filled with a wide variety of rouge and powder, the second floor is full of various spices, and the third floor has other women's products. The prices range from cheap to expensive, which can satisfy customers of all levels.
The most important thing is to focus on wholesale! You can get wholesale prices if the quantity reaches more than five of each type
The name is "Flower Fragrance Fills the House"! It's quite artistic...
Yun Li took Bai Zhi to wander around inside. The service staff were all women dressed in the same yellow-green gauze skirts, each of them was as beautiful as a flower. When they walked by, the fragrance wafting from their bodies made people linger.
Bai Zhi lowered her voice and said to Yun Li, "Miss, this rouge and powder shop is really big. It's the largest in the capital! This is the first time I've seen such a big rouge and powder shop in my life."
Yun Li nodded and said, "Of course they do. Lanxi Country has many women, and they are also rich in flowers. Their industries, mainly spices and rouge and powder, are also their strengths!"
Bai Zhi praised repeatedly: "No wonder it's from the place of origin, the price is really cheap, much cheaper than in Beijing! I want to buy some to take back..."
"Haha~ Buy! I'll pay for whatever you like! Go ahead and pick some, and pick some for the cherries and strawberries!"
"Hehe~ Then I won't be polite to you, miss!"
"Yeah, you're welcome!"
…
Yun Li approached a salesperson who was sorting the merchandise: "Hi, beautiful lady, is your boss here?"
The girl called "beauty" looked up at the woman in front of her who was dressed like someone from another country, and asked with a smile: "Hello, young lady, what can I do for our shopkeeper? Our shopkeeper usually disappears!"
Yun Li smiled and did not answer, but took out a small crystal-like transparent blush box and a bottle of exquisite perfume from her sleeve.
She opened the blush box, and inside was a fine golden powder, shining with tiny glitter.
Yun Li dipped a little with her finger, smeared it on the back of her hand, showed it to her, and then opened the perfume bottle and sprayed it on her body a few times.
A light floral scent hits you, followed by a fresh and clean fruity scent. It's sweet but not greasy and makes you feel intoxicated. It's like stepping into a rose garden. A deeper sniff reveals a gentle and slightly sweet scent, like the subtle fragrance of a young girl. It leaves you with an endless aftertaste and a refreshing feeling.
Yun Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the salesperson who was immersed in the fragrance: "Beautiful lady, can I see your shopkeeper in exchange for these two things?"
The salesperson came back to his senses, looked at Yun Li excitedly, nodded quickly and asked: "Miss, where did this rouge and spices come from? How come I have never seen them before?"
Yun Li smiled faintly and said, "Of course this is a secret! I can only tell her after I meet your shopkeeper!"
The salesperson nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, miss. I'll go tell our boss right away!"
"OK!"
The salesperson was thinking about the two things in Yunli's hand as he walked. Both the packaging and the contents were very attractive. Especially the spices, just looking at the bottle made him feel that they were worth a lot of money.
I don’t know how the fragrance was blended, but it makes people want to smell it again and again. It is many times better than the spices in their store. If it were sold in their store, I’m afraid it would be snatched up!
Because as a woman, she knew that no woman would refuse such a good thing.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with an elegant appearance came out. He walked quickly to Yun Li with a smile on his face.
"Miss, the girl in our shop said you wanted to see me?"
Yun Li nodded: "That's right, I guess this girl has also told you that I want to negotiate a deal with you for these two things!"
Yun Li handed the perfume and blush in her hand to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked delighted, picked up the perfume bottle, looked at it, and then put it to the tip of his nose to smell it carefully, with an expression of intoxication and immersion in it.
After a long moment, he looked at Yun Li excitedly: "Miss, you are a distinguished guest. Please come in. We can sit down and talk in detail!"
Yun Li smiled and nodded, "I'm very happy to do that!"
She knew that the deal was almost done, judging from the shopkeeper's expression, he had already taken the bait!
No matter how good the rouge, powder and spices of ancient times were, how could they compare to modern cosmetics and perfumes?
