Qin Shu didn't think that her status was worthy of the extremely noble princess sending her an invitation to a banquet.

She thought of Sang Sheng who had stopped in front of her carriage on the day she arrived in Beijing.

I’m afraid that there will be no good banquet.

Nanny Chun whispered, "I received the invitation and asked Wang Sheng to go to Cheng'an Mansion to inform Master Xiao. Master Xiao had just left before the young lady came back, and he said that Princess Le'an would go with the young lady tomorrow."

Qin Shu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, she was still quite scared.

After all, if the eldest princess of the dynasty wanted to kill her, it would be no different from crushing an ant.

If Zhou Wanruo could go with her, no matter what the princess did, at least it wouldn't be so blatant.

While preparing the gifts for the Princess's Mansion tomorrow, Qin Shu took ten boxes of rouge and cream.

The eldest princess’s grandson is three years old this year. Fu Ying made a small wooden horse overnight and asked Qin Shu to take it to the eldest princess’s mansion.

But I didn’t expect that the Princess’s Mansion would send a carriage over at exactly 12 o’clock in the morning.

When Zhou Wan arrived at Qin's residence on horseback, Qin Shu had already entered the Princess's Mansion.

When Zhou Wan heard this, he knew something bad was going to happen, so he immediately rode his horse to Prince Jin's mansion.

However, the Princess of Jin was not at home. She entered the palace early in the morning to pay her respects to the virtuous Concubine.

Zhou Wan didn't have time to think of other solutions and rode directly to the Princess's Mansion.

The doorman came forward as soon as he saw her, and seemed to stop in front of her unintentionally, "I am here for Princess Le'an..."

With a "snap" sound, Zhou Wan whipped the doorman's hand fiercely and shouted angrily: "Get out!"

Before he finished speaking, the man rushed in like a gust of wind.

As a result, as soon as he entered the Hairpin Pavilion, he saw the eldest princess leaning on the chaise longue, with Qin Shu standing below her.

In the center, a group of people were surrounding a little child, protecting him with their arms outstretched, and watching the child riding the wooden horse with smiles on their faces.

Zhou Wan was stunned for a moment.

The eldest princess glanced at Zhou Wan with her slightly raised eyes.

Zhou Wan's eyes rolled, she pouted and took a step forward angrily, pushing Qin Shu's arm hard, "Qin Shu, you are so good, I told you long ago that I would discuss the rouge shop today, but you didn't even tell me and sneaked to the Princess's Mansion!"

"Le'an!" The princess stretched out her voice and said unhappily, "Why do you come to my house with a whip so early in the morning?!"

"Aunt." Zhou Wan pouted, twisted her body and rushed to the princess, hugged her and shook her, "Wan'er has a share in Qin's rouge shop. She is lazy, can't Wan'er punish her?"

The eldest princess narrowed her narrow eyes slightly, glanced coldly at Zhou Wan's face, and moved her body.

Zhou Wan hurried forward and helped her sit up.

The eldest princess waved to everyone in the hall, and the maids in the mansion quickly retreated with the young master.

The young master had not ridden the wooden horse enough, so he leaned out from the nurse's arms and said in a baby voice, "Horse, horse, horse!"

When Zhou Wan turned around, a big "Fu" character suddenly came into her sight on the front of the wooden horse.

Fu?!

that is not?

Zhou Wan widened her eyes in shock and turned to look at Qin Shu.

The princess noticed her look and said with a cold smile, "Why, are you afraid that I will do something to your sister Qin? Why are you rushing over here in such a hurry?"

Zhou Wan smiled awkwardly: Who in the capital doesn't know the eldest princess's reputation?

The number of people who have died at her hands over the years could not be counted on ten fingers.

She can crush anyone she wants to death as if it were a game.

Qin Shu entered the mansion alone. Even if she died quietly in some corner, would the Emperor or Prince Jin turn against the Princess for a commoner girl?

The princess glanced at Qin Shu expressionlessly and said coldly, "Qin."

Qin Shu hurriedly walked to the hall and knelt down, "I am here."

The princess reached out and casually moved the rouge cream that the maid in the palace had placed on the table in front of her, and asked, "I heard from Prince Ning that you are trying to grow new crops?"

Qin Shu quickly replied, "Your Highness, Princess, I am indeed following the orders of Your Highness, Prince Jin, to try to grow new crops."

The eldest princess curled her lips, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Prince Jin? Humph!"

She flicked her nails lightly and said nonchalantly, "I heard that you are from Jinzhou, which belongs to Liangdi. How can the King of Jin order you to try to grow new crops when he is in Jindi?"

A thin layer of sweat instantly broke out on Qin Shu's back.

The princes were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms without the emperor's order, otherwise they would be charged with treason.

Whether the Prince of Jin went to Liang or the Prince of Liang had any involvement with the Prince of Jin, it was a taboo for the royal family.

But if the Prince of Jin was not involved, the Princess submitted a memorial, and the matter of trial planting new crops had nothing to do with the Prince of Jin.

There are too many pitfalls in this question. If you are not careful, the thunder that will be drawn out may kill a large number of people.

Qin Shu kowtowed deeply and replied, "Your Highness, Princess, when my father was alive, he was entrusted by His Highness the Prince of Jin to find food that can be grown in the mountainous areas of Jin. Fortunately, my father did his job and brought back some new food from foreign countries a few years ago."

"However, my father met with an accident before he could deliver the seeds to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. In order to fulfill my father's last wish, I chose my own farm as the site for the trial planting."

"This matter was reported to the Empress Dowager Liang on her birthday by the maiden in my mansion when she went to the Prince of Liang's mansion to deliver birthday gifts on my behalf."

"There were many people present at the time, and the news spread quickly. When His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin heard about it, he entrusted Lord Zheng Zhun to check on the common woman's farm and find a local person who is proficient in crops to give her advice."

"Fortunately, the Heaven has blessed the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Emperor has great fortune. The new grain has finally been successfully planted. We only need to wait until next year to hand over the new grain to His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and then we can promote large-scale planting in Jin."

So the news was spread from Concubine Liang’s birthday.

It wasn’t just the dignitaries from Liang who came to celebrate his birthday.

Who knows who reached the ears of King Jin?

Even if the Princess or Prince Ning wanted to investigate, there would be nowhere to look.

The eldest princess stared coldly at Qin Shu, who was kneeling respectfully on the ground, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Zhou Wan's eyes turned, and she continued, "Aunt, Wan'er has also seen that sweet potato, how can it grow this big?"

She gestured with her hand to a length of more than a foot, "There are also potatoes, which are delicious when cooked. Don't you like spicy food the most? This time we also tried to grow chili peppers. When Wan'er returns to Beijing, I really should bring some to you to taste first. You will definitely like it very much!"

The words "Let me give you a taste first" seemed to please the eldest princess.

The princess's gloomy expression finally eased a little. She gently poked Zhou Wan's forehead with her scallion-like jade finger and said, "It's a pity that I loved you so much before. Now that you have something good, you have forgotten about your aunt."

Zhou Wan took the opportunity to act coquettishly, "How could that be possible? Aunt, have you ever used this rouge? It's super easy to use. And I've even bought a stake in this shop, why don't you buy one, too?"

The princess snorted and said, "No need for that. You kids are just playing around. Why should I join in the fun?"

Zhou Wan took the opportunity to climb up the ladder, "Then Auntie, please help Wan'er introduce more customers. When Wan'er makes money, she will definitely honor you."

The princess raised her lips slightly and said, "That's enough. I'm tired. Since you have something to discuss with Qin, I won't keep you here."

Zhou Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and stood up, bowed to the princess and said, "Then Wan'er will take her leave first."

She tugged at Qin Shu and whispered, "Let's go."

Qin Shu quickly kowtowed and slowly backed out.

After leaving the princess's mansion, Fu Ying was waiting outside the door in a carriage.
