Chapter 38 Suspicion and Doubt
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Concubine Ru!"
Everyone in the palace knelt down to congratulate him.
"In that case, I will not bother you with your pregnancy anymore and will come to visit you another day." Pu Qiongzhi bowed and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Han said at this time, "Your Majesty, my family is holding a poetry gathering, and I want to join in the fun..."
"My dear concubine is in poor health right now..." The emperor hesitated but couldn't bear to refuse, so he looked at Pu Qiongzhi beside him.
Pu Qiongzhi immediately understood, her mind racing, "If Your Majesty approves, I can hold a poetry gathering in the palace. However, I will inevitably have to trouble the palace maids."
"Okay! The palace will help organize it, and the rest is up to you! Just one thing, you must make Concubine Ru happy!" The emperor waved his hand and finalized the matter.
Pu Qiongzhi then responded with a tingling scalp, and glanced at Nangong Han secretly.
This aunt is really capable of doing things indiscriminately! If she doesn't take good care of her pregnancy, what good is there in gathering together at this time?
Well, she has to hold a banquet in the palace, and also take care of her heavy body, so she has to worry about it.
Originally, I wanted to ask Concubine Ru and Concubine Ru to have two experienced maids to help Sun Shisan with some support.
Now, protecting the fetus has become the top priority for Concubine Ru. She will not add to the trouble when there is a great shortage of manpower.
She'd better find another way to deal with this.
…
The emperor has also heard rumors outside recently.
Originally, Pu Qiongzhi wanted the Queen to arrange for Pei Wanqing to meet other princes.
She thought that even if it was a good omen, the queen would still choose Pei Wanqing as her daughter-in-law.
At that time, no one in the Pei family, who have always been at odds with the Queen's family, will be happy.
She calculated that the queen's son was the eldest and most direct descendant of the family.
As long as the Queen sets her eyes on Pei Wanqing, she won't be able to escape!
However, Gongsun Huaili cleverly intervened and got himself out of it.
He took advantage of the situation and put the entire blame on Pei Hancai.
The message he asked his people to convey to the emperor was that Pei Hancai, who raised such a daughter, chose to target the Ninth Prince who was easiest to control, with the intention of holding the emperor hostage to control the princes!
Concubine Pei was pregnant at the time. If she had given birth to a prince, she might not have waited until now.
The Pei family has become wild and has shown disrespect to the emperor. They even seem to be plotting to usurp the throne!
When the emperor thought about it, it was exactly the same!
All emperors have a common problem - suspicion and jealousy.
The truth was not important at all; what was important was that the people had aroused the emperor's suspicion. And the emperor was the only one who could decide life and death.
Once he has suspicion, it doesn't matter whether the charges are proven or not, he will definitely not be able to escape punishment.
When the Pei family arrived here, it was already like grasshoppers in autumn, and the weather was almost cold.
Even when Pu Qiongzhi later learned that it was the Ninth Prince's work, she couldn't help but sigh at how cruel this man was.
It is enough to show that when a man doesn't have you in his heart, he will not care about past feelings at all.
It's a pity that Pei Wanqing is still dreaming of marrying Gongsun Huaili, but she doesn't know that she has been completely sold out by her ideal husband!
These are all follow-up matters. Right now, Pu Qiongzhi's business has encountered difficulties again.
She wanted to use the poetry reading as an opportunity to promote the dolls.
But if a poetry gathering is held in the palace, it would be impossible to bring such a doll into the palace.
However, Pu Qiongzhi changed her mind and came up with a solution.
This is not just something she has to worry about.
Isn’t Fang Miaozhu a talented businessman?
Pu Qiongzhi thought that she could let her think of a solution first.
After thinking about it, she wrote a letter herself and handed it to Fang Miaozhuo.
After all, she was the one who came up with the idea for the doll, and she was just taking advantage of the opportunity...
She invited Fang Miaozhu to the palace to attend the banquet. Let's see what this girl can do.
Chunjing watched his master's bloodless killing trick from the side, and sighed in his heart, thinking that the lady was becoming more and more shameless.
"Chun Jing, I remember you went to tell her first that Miss Fang bought a batch of medicinal herbs?" She suddenly turned around.
Chun Jing nodded hurriedly, "Yes. They were all bought from the surrounding areas. The quality is excellent. Unfortunately, the price is more than twice as expensive as what Zhai Lou brought back. I lost money on it."
"Send someone to find a time before the poetry gathering to negotiate a lower price and buy back these herbs."
Pu Qiongzhi curled her lips, "She wants to launch these dolls as soon as possible, so she needs money."
"..." This is too insidious to take advantage of someone's misfortune.
Chunjing felt that he had underestimated the lady's evil heart.
However, if not, how can we make money?
The lady was just going with the flow in all this, and she could only blame the others for not being as skilled as her and not catching up in time.
…
Fang Miaozhu was also surprised when she received the invitation.
She also thought that Pu would never have anything to do with her again.
But this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, and she had to seize it.
She had noticed that the Ninth Prince had been very cold towards her recently.
But if we want to sell this batch of dolls, we need a certain opportunity.
The most difficult thing for her now is that she is short of money...
The revenue of Yuelai Inn has been declining and shrinking.
Most of the funds were transferred away by the Ninth Prince, who said that they would be invested in another business.
If it can no longer make a profit, it will probably be converted into a brothel.
She knew that in this game, she was about to lose her qualification to sit at the table...
Even if her identity does not allow her to participate in the selection, she must at least make sure that the Ninth Prince remembers her.
At this point, she has already realized that things have deviated from the plot she is familiar with.
Damn it. She is simply the most pathetic and frustrated time traveler ever!
Fang Miaozhuo imagined many possibilities and was surprised to find that her biggest enemy now was Pei Wanqing, the Ninth Prince's concubine who was said to be despised by the Ninth Prince and had no status in name only!
In her impression of the plot, the plague was not resolved so quickly, and it was Pei Wanqing who caused all these changes.
She was wrong from the beginning! The problem wasn't with Pu Qiongzhi at all, but with her!
She was the one who caused all these changes...So, what happened to her?
The more Fang Miaozhu thought about it, the more upset she became.
But she also realized that she couldn't let things go on like this.
She must shine in this poetry reading!
However, she still relied on her identity as a time traveler and was too fanciful.
At a time like this, a poetry gathering was held in the palace... She was not the only one who wanted to stand out in Kyoto.
Everyone was trying their best to get in, fearing that they would be left behind.
Pu Qiongzhi added a few more places on the original basis.
During this period, some people even offered sky-high prices to enter the palace and participate in such a poetry meeting.
To be on the safe side, Pu Qiongzhi still rejected these temptations.
She knows exactly what money she should earn and what she shouldn't earn!
Murder and robbery are commonplace, and Pu Qiongzhi is not willing to earn money while dying to spend it!
