I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The next day.

After Zhuo Yunjun came to court, he asked to see the emperor.

The emperor welcomed General Zhuo who had just won the battle and returned with the Nanman envoy for peace talks.

But he never imagined that General Zhuo would ask if there was any room for change in Prince Ning's marriage.

"This world belongs to the emperor. Nowadays, the north and the south are in turmoil. If we can get close to each other, I and Duke Mei can work together to defend against foreign enemies." Zhuo Yunjun said tentatively.

The emperor had a headache. The southern barbarians kept invading the south, and the situation in the north was turbulent. He could not offend both the Zhuo family and the Mei family. But if he really gets married, the prince is the nephew of his Zhuo family. Now that Mei Gong is old, he really doesn't know whether the world belongs to his Meng family or his Zhuo family?

The emperor was pacing in the pavilion, and the ground of the pavilion was almost trampled by him. He had a very difficult expression on his face, "Zhuo Qing's idea is certainly good, but Ying'er doesn't want to do it!"

"You also know Ying'er's temperament. Who can influence his decision? As for the princess he is now, I have a shy old face and begged him so hard that I let him go."

"We have just been married for two months. It is said that the two of them play the piano and play the piano in harmony. How can I break them up?"

Zhuo Yunjun frowned slightly. With his extreme favoritism towards Meng Ying, if the prince succeeds to the throne one day, he will not be able to defeat him. Although this request was not kind, for the sake of the children and the Zhuo family, I had to lose face and continued: "I heard that Princess Ning vowed not to marry until she died, which really insulted the royal family's face. This is a serious crime. Furthermore, this woman Born in the wild land of Xiliang, he is a foreigner."

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning has a noble status and a heavenly appearance. How can he accommodate such a woman? With such status, being a concubine is already a great favor for your Majesty!"

Zhuo Yunjun spoke sincerely, which happened to hit the emperor's heart.

The emperor thought for a while and waved his hand, "Zhuo Qing, after all, this is Ying'er's family matter. I will try to ask him. I am tired today, so let's discuss it another day."

Zhuo Yunjun had no choice but to give up, sighing secretly in his heart, and bowed his head and resigned with anger.

Today, Prince Ning's Mansion looks happy because of the two boxes of fresh cherries.

In line with the principle that the master eats first, Bai Zhi sent it to Meng Ying first. Meng Ying is teaching lessons to A Luo.

Bai Zhi held a plate of red and tender cherries and waved it in front of A Luo. A Luo glanced at Bai Zhi aggrievedly, wanting to eat but not daring to reach out.

Bai Zhi was puzzled, frowning and observing, and saw that A Luo was sweating, and his small black hands were holding the brush tremblingly, and wrote on the paper that they were twisted like caterpillars. Chinese character.

Bai Zhi burst into laughter, "The word Aluo is as good as mine."

"Oh? The princess is proud of this?" Meng Ying choked her abruptly.

This tone was very strange to Meng Ying, who had always been gentle, and aroused Bai Zhi's strong curiosity. I couldn't help but look at him and saw that his face was livid and he looked unhappy.

"Hey, who messed with the prince?" Bai Zhi teased.

"Has the princess been very busy recently?" Meng Ying clasped her hands behind her back and glanced at Bai Zhi lightly.

"I'm busy! Of course I'm busy! I have a lot of things to do!"

"You're so busy that you need to eat out for three meals a day?"

Wow! Look at our prince's expression, there is a hint of anger, a bit of grievance, a bit of resentment, and even a bit of expectation in the indifference.

She might not be able to see his fresh expression in eight lifetimes. Instead of feeling scared, Bai Zhi felt even more excited.

He held back his laughter and straightened his back, "That's right! Since it's a competition for the king of chefs, it's definitely a must to taste the skills of famous chefs!"

Meng Ying frowned slightly, unable to refute, "Oh, then why did you come home at the end of the day last night?"

"There was no curfew, and it was very lively at that hour! The river lanterns beside the canal were so bright, and I was in my prime. If I didn't go and take a look, would I be knocking wooden fishes with the prince in the bamboo forest?" Bai Zhi said. He was confident and confident.

Arlo understood and held back his laughter.

Meng Ying was speechless. After all, she was just a girl in her twenties, and this palace should not become her prison. He had no position and asked her to accompany him to live the life of green lanterns and ancient Buddhas.

The arrogance was extinguished instantly, and he sighed deeply, feeling at a loss what to do. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the stuffed puppy stretching its hind legs to scratch its ears. He slowly bent down, picked up the little mushroom, put it in his arms, and smoothed the fur, "The princess is right, it's good to take a closer look. It's just that. In your spare time, come and see the little mushrooms.”

Bai Zhi: "..."

Listening to these words, it makes one feel that he is a resentful woman, while she is a man who spends a lot of time and is still righteous.

All in all, the chatter over tea still made Bai Zhi feel distressed.

"Well, if the prince feels bored, you can also go out for a walk..."

Bai Zhi felt that if things continued to develop, she would be manipulated by him, so she quickly ran away.

In the afternoon, Bai Zhi changed into a maid's outfit and accompanied You Qing to Sun Shangshu's mansion.

In order to reduce Bai Zhi's resistance, Meng Ying fabricated the identity of a wealthy businessman in Lingzhou for You Qing, and asked You Qing to replace Bai Zhi as the boss on the surface.

The group of people were handed door stickers and were respectfully invited in. Entering the lobby, Sun Shangshu has an elegant temperament. Standing in the hall, his face is full of sadness. When he saw someone coming, he forced a smile.

After You Qing and Sun Shangshu exchanged pleasantries, they explained their intention.

Sun Shangshu looked troubled when he heard this, "Although I am in charge of this land, this land is always the royal colosseum. Even if it is abandoned, I am not qualified to lease it to others."

Bai Zhi and Lihua pretended to be maids and listened quietly. Sure enough, what they said was quite different from what the prince expected.

You Qing and Bai Zhi looked at each other. They were both within range. They stood up slowly and said softly, "Sun Shangshu, it's a pity that this place is abandoned! The imperial court originally planned to demolish this place and turn it into a commercial street. But because of the tight war situation on the front line, there has been a shortage of some silver. But if Sun Shangshu can make money for him, then why does the court need to allocate it?"

A flash of light flashed in Sun Shangshu's eyes, and he put down the tea cup in his hand, "Oh? Boss You, tell me, how to make money?"

"Here is the canal to the west, Lingren Alley to the south, the Lotus Viewing Holy Land to the east, and the Forbidden Army garrison to the north. Such a geomantic treasure, but now it is extremely desolate, and the problem lies in Lingren Alley!"

"There are mostly foreigners in Lingren Lane, and it is very difficult for foreigners to live in Chenjing, so they have no money to buy. Just because there are few people going to that place, people in the capital don't like to go there. This leads them to hold on to the big There are a lot of rare things that can’t be sold.”

"If we can divert people there, the goods in the hands of the foreigners can be turned into silver. With the silver, they can continue to buy goods from their hometowns. With new gadgets, they can attract more people. , the taxation of the Ministry of Household Affairs was not only a little bit higher at that time!”

"When the time comes, the goods will follow the canal and reach the commercial district. The imperial army can buy the necessary items at the shortest distance, and people will flock to the lotus viewing resort. Are you still worried about having no money at that time?"

Sun Shangshu was a little excited when he heard this, "Boss You, are you saying that your Kitchen God Competition can attract such a large amount of people?"

"Of course. If this can be done, it will definitely bring the surrounding foreign markets back to life. If it cannot be done, it will not affect Master Sun at all."

You Qing's speech was like a flower. Sun Shangshu was moved by this and hurriedly agreed to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to deal with other people.

Before leaving, You Qing also presented a small basket of cherries and a stick of snow ginseng. Sun Shangshu almost shed tears and repeatedly emphasized that You Qing should be a guest often.

These were specially given by the prince, the cherries because Mrs. Sun was greedy for this bite, and the snow ginseng because the eldest daughter of the Sun family has extremely weak bones, and the snow ginseng has an incomparable effect on the disease caused by other ginseng.

So under the guidance of the prince, this difficult task came to fruition quickly and beautifully.
