Fu Yunchen knew that Qiao Dongzi was worried about being discarded after the usefulness of the birds was over, because he had seen too many of these kinds of things.
Those in power, in order to reclaim all authority, persecuted meritorious officials, causing their families to be destroyed and their lives to end badly. The Fu family was no exception.
But he was the kind of person who could delegate power, so why would he be afraid of their achievements?
After leaving the Chongyang Palace, Qiao Dongzi suddenly smiled with relief. Perhaps he really should discuss it with his family.
"Liu Lao Er, if only you could wait a little longer." Qiao Dongzi looked up at the sky. How could the wise eldest brother not know what he wanted? It wasn't that he wouldn't give it to him, it was just that the time wasn't right.
...
Cai and Hongmi also entered Chongyang Palace, carrying a large pile of things that Murun had left in Chongyi Hall.
When Mu Run saw Cai Shi and Hong Mi, his heart warmed.
"You've finally arrived." Mu Run is now extremely regretful about becoming empress. If she could go back a month, she definitely wouldn't have told Fu Yunchen that she wanted to be empress.
Hongmi laughed heartily, "Sister-in-law is awesome!"
Lady Cai also said, "We should call him Your Majesty."
Mu Run hurriedly said, "No need, no need, it's not too late to change it after the ceremony. Alas! You have no idea how flustered I am right now, I'm in a daze every day."
Hongmi said, "What's there to panic about? Actually, it's the boss and the others who should be panicking right now."
Mu Run: "Why are they panicking?"
Hongmi said, "Because my sister-in-law is a woman, this is unprecedented."
Lady Cai also said, "Women's status has always been incomparable to that of men. After the princess ascended the throne, she really gave us women a lot of pride."
Looking at Cai Shi and Hong Mi, and thinking of the girls who were sold and traded like commodities, Mu Run's eyes grew brighter and brighter. "I know what I should do."
Hongmi and Cai exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
They were brought from the mountain stronghold by Fu Yunchen, mainly to soothe Mu Run's anxiety and panic. Because if she remained tense, she might retreat into her shell on the day of the ceremony.
Hongmi stayed in the palace and was arranged by Fu Yunchen to become the first female official of Murun, in charge of the palace's internal affairs department.
Lady Cai was in charge of Mu Run's daily life, including his food, clothing, and the discipline of the palace maids. As for eunuchs, there were none in the palace at the moment, and Mu Run didn't like them, so there probably wouldn't be any in the future.
Everyone only needs to serve Mu Run, so it's quite simple, similar to what they did at Chongyi Hall.
"Sister-in-law, why isn't the eldest brother in the palace?" Hongmi directed the palace maids to comb Murun's hair while she looked at an account book.
Mu Run glanced at her and smiled, "It's just on the surface."
Hongmi understood, "You're using a feint to cover your tracks. If the eldest brother wants to be the prime minister and help his sister-in-law handle state affairs, then he can't be the emperor's consort."
“But we are actually husband and wife.” Mu Run dismissed the palace maid and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
"Don't worry." Hongmi closed the ledger. "So, are we still going to continue our tea business?"
“Go ahead and do it,” Mu Run replied without hesitation. “And I also want to vigorously develop the tea industry. So that tea, like oil and salt, can be enjoyed by ordinary people.”
"I still find it hard to believe that the timid bride has become the high and mighty Empress. Even storytellers wouldn't dare to write something like this." Hongmi looked at Murun, her eyes filled with reminiscence.
Mu Run laughed and said, "I've discovered it."
Redmi replied, "I'm not stupid. I'm still glad it's you."
Mu Run asked, "What if it wasn't me?"
