According to the information Yun Qing had previously investigated, Liu Chengxi was exceptionally talented, and in less than a year, he had multiplied the Liu family's assets several times over.
Not only that, he also has many ingenious ideas in his mind, which, if managed properly, could change the business landscape of Dasheng.
It's impossible for someone like that not to have had some extraordinary encounter; she was genuinely intrigued.
What could possibly have transformed a previously unknown young man from a secluded family into this state?
A few days later, Liu Chengxi still hadn't found out Yun Qing's identity, so he sped up his original plan and had his mother present the cement-making formula to Li Weiyi.
After verifying the authenticity of the prescription, Emperor Li Weiyi was overjoyed and immediately promoted Liu's mother to the position of Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, a promotion of three ranks compared to her original position.
"That's wonderful!" Liu Chengxi was overjoyed upon hearing the news.
The emperor's birthday, also known as the Thousand Autumns Festival, is just around the corner. A grand banquet will be held in the palace, which can be attended by officials of the sixth rank and above.
Previously, only Lady Liu and her husband could visit their home, with the most Liu Chengdong (Liu Chengxi's elder sister) at the same time.
Now that Liu's mother has become a third-rank official, Liu Chengxi, as the legitimate son, is also able to attend palace banquets.
Then he will be able to meet the person he has been longing for.
As for the possibility that Yun Qing might not be at the palace banquet, Liu Chengxi ruled out that possibility. He had been in this era for almost a year and still had basic eyesight.
Judging from Yun Qing's attire and the servants accompanying her that day, it was clear that she came from a wealthy and noble family, far surpassing the Liu family in social standing.
A few days later, the much-anticipated Autumn Festival finally arrived.
Li Huaiyin had sent Yunqing the clothes she needed to wear early on. Although they couldn't stand together openly yet, he still wanted to mark Yunqing with his own mark in these small details.
At the palace banquet, Yun Qing, dressed in a moon-blue brocade robe, arrived late, following behind Li Yujiao.
At that time, Liu Chengxi had not seen the person he wanted to see for a long time, and was asking a young man next to him about it.
"Young Master Chen, are there any young ladies in the capital who haven't arrived yet?"
"Which young lady hasn't arrived yet? Let me see." The person being asked looked down from the head of the table.
His face flushed slightly when he focused on an empty spot on the other side.
"The only one who hasn't arrived yet is Minister Yun's daughter."
As soon as those words were spoken, a palace maid announced, "The Crown Prince has arrived! Miss Yun has arrived!"
Miss Yun? Liu Chengxi's gaze involuntarily turned over, and his breath caught in his throat the moment he saw Yun Qing.
"How could it be her?" He had barely uttered the exclamation when he instinctively covered his mouth. Seeing that no one had noticed the commotion, he lowered his head as if nothing had happened.
Little did they know that the moment he opened his mouth, everyone else was also captivated by Yun Qing's exceptionally beautiful appearance, and they were all amazed. Who would pay attention to him?
"Miss Yun is getting more and more beautiful. I wonder who will be lucky enough to become her husband?" Young Master Chen, who was sitting next to her, stared at Yun Qing with infatuation and murmured to himself.
Upon hearing his words, even if Liu Chengxi was unwilling to admit it, he had to accept the fact that the woman he had fallen in love with at first sight was actually the future wife of his idol and friend, Li Huaiyin.
