The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Qinghe was cold quickly, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt the cold wind blowing into my neck. Chu Ran hurried back after going out for a while, ordered people to light a charcoal fire, and prohibited Lu Xiang from leaving the posthouse.

Madam Cao sent some furs over yesterday. She opened the box to pick out a suitable one for Lu Shi. When she was picking and choosing, Lu Shi came over and said, "These are not usable. I'm not afraid that Madam Cao will pass them on to you. I will keep them privately." bribe?"

"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty wants to ask, I just say that the mountains and rivers are poor, I have no clothes to keep warm, and I'm almost freezing to death, so I don't care about it?" Chu Ran wore a thick fox fur, touched the fur on the neckline, and sighed: "This place is really full of local emperors. Let's go after the new year. During the twelfth lunar month, the canals are about to freeze, so it's not suitable to travel."

Lu Shi said: "If you don't miss the prince, we can come back next February."

"Then we'd better go back earlier, it's not good to leave the prince alone." Chu Ran comforted herself, and covered Lu Shi with the fox fur so that her skin would not be fair. She nodded with satisfaction: "Mrs. It’s a good thing, now that I think about it, I bought these from her, and I wrote them, so I’m not afraid of being talked about.”

Lu Shi followed her, stretched out his hand to untie the fox fur, and asked the maid to put it away.

Chu Ran told her: "When you go out, wear more clothes. You are not in good health. By the way, I found a doctor for you and will come here in the afternoon. Mrs. Cao said that he has a good reputation in Qinghe."

"What are you looking for from the doctor?" Lu Shi helped her forehead, feeling more and more worried, she reluctantly persuaded, "Send it back."

"What are you sending back to do? You're just cold, and there's nothing wrong with it." Chu Ran insisted, Lu Xiang is good in everything, but he doesn't take good care of his body?

Seeing her resoluteness, Lu Shi poked her on the forehead angrily: "Don't you think you're troublesome?"

"It's troublesome. You see that you are not in good health, and you blame me for being troublesome. Do you want me to lock you with the golden bell and wake you up all the time?" Chu Ran retorted.

The golden bell was an unspeakable thing in Lu Xiang's heart, and Chu Ran insisted on poking it, which made her extremely shy that night, and he couldn't spare her now.

She was unreasonable and showed her kitten's paws. Lu Shi also felt helpless, touched her face, sighed silently, and said nothing more.

Chu Ran regarded her as acquiescing. After peeking at her, she raised her jaw, not believing her or not.

Princess Xinping went out proudly, and the maid prepared the petals from last night and dyed her nails when she came back.

Not long after, Mrs. Cao brought some food boxes and snacks over, which were more delicate than yesterday's ones, all according to Chu Ran's preferences.

After Chu Ran came back, she saw a lot of snacks. She didn't dare to eat them casually, so she distributed them to the maids in the post house, and she called the maids to dye her nails.

After a noisy morning, the nails only had a light pink layer, and the fingers had to be wrapped in cloth.Lu Shi entangled her in a circle, and she couldn't move ten fingers. She pursed the corners of her lips and bent them from time to time. Chu Ran didn't know what she was laughing at, just looked at her fingers: "You dye ?"

Lu Xiang's hands are as white and tender as lotus root, and if dyed with a flower color, the natural beauty will be destroyed. She shook her head after thinking about it: "Don't dye it."

She asked and answered by herself, and didn't give Lu Xiang time to reply. She counted the time by herself, and it was still not ready by lunch time. When she was about to take it apart, Lu Shi held her down: "Your Highness, don't give up halfway."

"I want lunch." Chu Ran said.

"It's okay, you can use a spoon." Lu Shi couldn't help but smile. Seeing Chu Ran's curious and stupid appearance, he had fun all day long.

Especially those hands that are so tightly bound that they can't do anything, they are so silly and silly, they are much cuter than before.

Lu Shi's mind was simple, he just wanted to see how stupid she was, so someone went to fetch the silver spoon, and she put vegetables in her bowl.

Most of the meals on the table were seafood, not to mention crabs. Lu Shi dug out the crab roe for her, put them in her bowl, and put the vinegar aside. She didn't need to ask, everything was done.

In this way, Chu Ran didn't make a fuss and returned the cloth. She just took a bite of crab roe when Liancheng came, and Lu Xiang ordered someone to fetch the bowls and chopsticks.

Liancheng looked at His Highness's ten fingers wrapped in cloth at the same time, scratched his head, his eyes flashed with worry: "Your Highness hurt your hand? Why are all ten fingers hurt?"

The young man didn't understand the joys of girls, so when he asked stupidly, the maid laughed, and even the corners of Lu Xiang's lips curved slightly.

It can be seen that even the family members don't understand the style, and Chu Ran has half of the family's flesh and blood, as well.

The maidservants laughed, Chu Ran was so ashamed that his face became hot, and he said strangely: "Have you ever seen someone who hurt ten fingers in a row, even if he was hurt, he could still sit quietly and eat crabs?"

Liancheng was scolded for two days in a row, and he was confused, so he simply stopped talking and ate his head.

Lu Shi took it lightly, and only dug crab roe for Chu Ran. The maid saw that there was one more person, so she went to the kitchen to get another five or six.After the deliciously steamed crabs came out, Liancheng never looked up again.

Chu Ran pushed back all the maidservants, and took a spoon to dig and eat, and asked him, "Why did you come here suddenly, is there any progress?"

Liancheng ate the crab with his head depressed, and raised his head after hearing the question, just in time to see Lu Shi picking out the osmanthus petals from His Highness's bowl, leaving only the shrimp.

The apparently simple sweet-scented osmanthus shrimp tasted differently when eaten by the two.

Liancheng felt sore and unbearable, if he had known earlier, he would not have come at the time of meal, and now he can't leave if he wants to.

On the other side, Chu Ran competed with the shrimps. The shrimps were very slippery, and the spoon didn't work. After eating for a long time, they didn't reach her mouth. She looked at Lu Xiang for help.

Lu Zhi was in the way of others, gently picked up the shrimp and put it in the spoon, and then pretended to be nonchalant.

Liancheng remained silent for a long time, Chu Ran felt strange, "Why don't you speak, is something difficult?"

"No, it's just that people sent out and found out the simple situation. Going to sea is not what all merchants want to go. Some have no one to follow and have to give up, and some have no ships. In short, the road of sea transportation has considerable benefits, but few Someone can walk smoothly."

Liancheng didn't dare to look up, and lowered his head to answer, Chu Ran asked strangely: "What are you doing with your head down, there is gold on the case?"

"No, no." Liancheng raised his head and chest in an instant, his face flushed red.

Chu Ran said: "Do you think the Lian family can go this way?"

"I have to ask my grandfather about this." Liancheng was in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to make a decision on such a big matter. Besides, the shop run by Lian's family was not big, and the road of sea transportation was too wide and long, so he didn't have the guts to go on it.

Chu Ran bit the shrimp and shook her head in disapproval: "Wait for Lord Hou to reply, we have already returned to Yingdu, it's too late."

Lu Yi was silent, and asked someone to fetch the water from the perilla leaves. After washing his hands, he began to eat. Chu Ran was already fed by her.

Liancheng was absent-minded, "But I don't have the skills to respond, does Prime Minister Lu have any suggestions?" Prime Minister Lu is well-informed, so it's better to ask her what she means.

Lu Shi said, "You can decide for yourself."

Liancheng was lost, he hesitated and panicked, "His Royal Highness, let me think about it for a few days before checking the market. I'll go back and have a look first."

"Go, go." Chu Ran moved his hands, ignored him, and talked about today's lunch instead: "Lu Xiang's chef's cooking is similar to that of Qinghe."

"It was originally recruited from Qinghe." Lu Shi explained.

Chu Ran nodded, "Going back to Yingdu from the northwest, it seems that you don't pass through Qinghe, how did Prime Minister Lu recruit you?"

She had a half-smile, and the corners of her pink lips were slightly pursed, which made Lu Shi's face turn red, and she held a shrimp and fed it to her: "It's almost time, we can take it apart."

"Lu Xiang's plan is really unknowing. I just think it's random. I don't think it's something I thought of a long time ago. It's really a good plan." Chu Ran finished speaking while biting the shrimp, but she was sweet in her heart. Cheers, who doesn't want to be hugged.

After lunch, Chu Ran removed the cloth wrapped around her hands, looked at the color on her nails, and said dissatisfiedly, "It doesn't seem to be red."

"Your Highness, it would be nice to dye it a few more times." Lu Shi relieved, she asked people to clean up these messy things, and talked about serious things with her.

"In matters at sea, families send out people, merchants send out ships, and they have experience, so there is a great chance of profit."

"But are the merchants willing to cooperate with Liancheng?" Chu Ran also thought about this. It is better to cooperate with an experienced merchant than to go alone, and then think about where to find such a merchant.

Lu Shi said: "It's not difficult. In a few days, you can talk to a few more wives. The princess's people are always at ease. Do you think those wives are simple?" Will you introduce me?"

In addition, Chu Ran is behind the prime minister. If the sky falls, someone will hold it up, and the eyes of the merchants will be in all directions. You will not know the truth. Even if you are walking outside the city, those merchants will automatically come to the door and cooperate with the princess. It would be a great honor.

Chu Ran didn't know the status of the merchants, so naturally he couldn't think of this. After being reminded by Lu Shi, he thought about it and nodded in response: "How about I invite them to come over with a banquet in a few days, and then we can see?"

"Also." Lu Yi agreed.

"Then do you want to invite some wives from merchants?" Chu Ran asked again.

"That's not necessary. If you disclose the news, someone will come to you. Don't pay too much attention to it. If not, there will be Liancheng. These ladies are not good people. They are good at planning. Be careful yourself." Lu Shi saw her expression Restless, I couldn't help but hug the two of them into my arms, comforting softly.

Leaning against her, Chu Ran also felt at ease in her heart. She stared at her freshly dyed nails and compared them with Lu Shi's whiteness. She boasted, "Lu Xiang's hands don't need to be dyed. Others will be envious when they see them."

Her rare compliment made Lu Shi smile, and kissed the corner of her lips, "Then hide it."

Chu Ran regretted it after boasting, and sighed in her heart that she said so, which made this person even more arrogant. She was suffocated by the kiss, and hurriedly withdrew from her arms: "Don't hide, I am very generous, let them see .”

She ran fast, and Lu Shi couldn't help it. He let her go and stared at his hands. His Highness praised him well now, but he will regret it later.

At dusk, a gust of wind blew up, the windows were slapped, the maid closed in front, and the next moment it rained.

The bamboos in front of the house were all scraped off and fell to the ground in all directions, which is a pity.

Chu Ran flipped through books on shipping in the house. Qinghe has a history of hundreds of years. There are not a few merchants who made their fortunes by shipping, and some people died at sea.

She looked at the annals of geography, and said to Lu Shi, "Can the Huo family do these businesses?"

"The Huo family is close to Wu Jiang, so they probably wouldn't take the risk to do this." Lu Shi replied, the Huo family disdain this, the King of Wu Jiang gave Huo Qi a lot of benefits in the previous life, and with Wu Jiang, there is no need to go far away.

These cannot be said with Chu Ran.

Chu Ran's eyes hurt from seeing it, so she went to Lu Shi's side and begged her to rub her forehead.Lu Shi put down the book in his hand, and pressed her forehead with both hands: "You read too much, it's easy to confuse, why don't you go outside and look, it's more practical than these books."

"I want to take a look too, but I'm afraid that those ladies will come over all the time, and it won't be good if I don't see you then." Chu Ran leaned on her and threw the book aside, thinking that Liancheng would go and read it tomorrow.

She frowned slightly, and Lu Shi smoothed her and comforted her, "It's worth frowning if it's difficult. If you succeed, you can do it, and if you don't, you can go back to Yingdu."

Hearing these words, Chu Ran looked sideways at her, and looked at her: "President Lu is as rich as an enemy?"

Lu Shi smiled.

"Lu Xiang, try lending me 30 taels?" Chu Ran asked, the Xiangfu was like a house with a closed door, and no one knew what treasures were inside.

"Too many." Lu Yi smiled.

"By the way, lend me some capital, and if you want to make a profit, I will pay you back." Chu Ran put his arms around her waist, his eyes were bright, and he didn't care about the loss.

Lu Shi knew her innocence, and poked at her: "If you lose money, won't you pay me back?"

Chu Ran felt guilty when he was told, "You see, you and I are married, we are one body, yours is no different from mine."

"That's the case, Your Highness's Princess Mansion is not mine."

"If you want, I can give it to you." Chu Ran smiled. Anyway, there is nothing valuable in her princess mansion, which is nothing compared to the prime minister's mansion.

Lu Shi tugged at her cheek: "I don't want it, all the good things from His Highness are given to the crown prince, the princess mansion is empty, there are no treasures."

In the past few years, when Chu Ran got something, she would always think of the prince first. Over time, it became a habit, and what was left was ordinary. It was only when Lu Shi poked it out that she suddenly realized it.

She touched Lu Xiang's earrings, flicked her fingertips, and whispered in her ear: "Then I'll leave it to you later, how about it?"

"Your Highness, it's better to keep the prince." Lu Shi grabbed her tricky hand and held it in his palm.

"Lu Xiang himself dislikes it, so don't blame me." Chu Ran didn't coax him, and wanted to get up to wash up, get up his spirits, face those wives, and ask about the sea.

She wanted to leave, but Lu Shi refused to let her, and put her arms around her waist: "You tell me what you say, but I'm afraid it's different in your heart."

Chu Ran moved, afraid of hurting Lu Xiang, she could only stay in her arms quietly, "I don't agree, why does Lu Xiang compare with the prince, are you jealous?"

Lu Shi circled her with both hands, his eyebrows and eyes were a little more helpless, and he said in a low voice, "It's just a comparison, if I am so good to others, will you really be indifferent?"

"Lu Xiang will also be nice to others? I just think that Lu Xiang is pure-hearted and ascetic. Except for being nice to me, he doesn't look at others. I don't think I'm wrong." Chu Ran pretended to be amazed, and the corners of his lips curled into an arc.

How could Lu Shi not be annoyed by her yin and yang, "Aren't you afraid that I will be annoyed when your Highness speaks?"

"Ah, is Lu Shi annoyed?" Chu Ran asked knowingly.

When she turned her head, Lu Yi slightly tightened her grip around her waist, and looked down to see her small and white earballs, which were white and lustrous, and the wreaths reflected the light on her skin, making her beautiful and seductive.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest." Lu Shi calmed down, calmed down his annoyance, and patted her on the shoulder, as if he didn't care about the topic just now.

Lu Xiang was introverted, and no one except Chu Ran dared to get close to her. She ignored the matter, and Chu Ran couldn't help it. When he got up to wash, he paused, and said worriedly: "Lu Xiang is not angry anymore?"

Lu Yi shook his head.

Chu Ran said again: "Aren't you jealous?"

"Your Highness, let's go wash up."

"Then don't touch me at night, I'm afraid you will avenge yourself." Chu Ran muttered, trotting away by himself, leaving behind helpless Lu Shi.

Chu Ran's temperament gave her a headache, sometimes she was calm and sometimes naive, she handled things steadily, and she was ignorant of small things in private.Thinking of her situation, it's easy to have no relatives around her, and she lacks sophistication.

She picked up the book that Chu Ran had just read, her eyes were condensed, no one had traveled this road in Lihai Sea in her previous life, and she also knew it from Wu Jiang.

Surrounded by water on all sides, Wujiang has trade relations with Dachu, as well as with other countries. Dachu has no way to go, Wujiang has gone, and it is very smooth, so Wujiang is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The Huo family's shops are all over Dachu, even in Wujiang. Huo Qiben is in charge of the granary and the lifeline of the generals. His majesty's cronies are also because the Huo family will not guard and steal.

Lu Shi's eyes darkened, and he took out the list of people. There might be people from the Huo family among them.What His Majesty values ​​is food, if there are people in Qinghe guarding and stealing, related to Huo Qi, that trust will be cut in half.

The crown prince's illness has not been eradicated, and she cannot guarantee a long life. Fate is not easy to change, and the weak disease in the mother's womb cannot be changed by humans.

Still need to think about the way forward.If the crown prince is not around, King Heng will have the advantage of being the heir apparent. The other princes have not yet reached adulthood, and the survival of the fittest will make it difficult to change the situation.

After Lu Shi placed the list, Chu Ran pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing that her posture did not move, she asked, "What are you thinking?"

"The military rations in Qinghe." Lu Shi did not hide from her, nor did he want to hide from her, and said, "Old rice will replace new rice. The quantity will not change, but the price will change drastically."

Chu Ran understood, and pretended to be good, and said: "Lu Xiang's intention is to solve this matter before the court comes, but even if it takes a few days to open the warehouse and inspect it, is it too late?"

"An accident in the inspection can only show that someone seeks personal gain from it, and it happens to be eliminated at the same time." Lu Shi said, in other words, to expose the matter in front of the court, Liu Zhang is guilty of negligence, and he can do meritorious deeds. Stay for a few years.

"Remind him, it's enough, the big deal is to smash the flowerpot again, no." Chu Ran paused, his eyes flashed, and he said happily: "I have a solution. When Mrs. Cao comes over tomorrow, I can just say a few words." , The back house is also a science."

Lu Shi's eyes were dark, he glanced at her, and went to wash himself without asking her what to do.

After returning, Chu Ran sat on the couch, did not lie down, and flipped through the gift lists sent by several wives by himself, eating and drinking were not counted.She knew it well, and when Lu Shi came back, she handed her the gift list.

"Why do you give it to me?" Lu Shi took it and took a rough look. The rituals were quite standard, except for Nuanyu, which were not too expensive.

Chu Ran opened her eyelids and looked at her: "This is not for you, so as not to say that I leave it for the prince."

Lu Shi in her words has become a caring person. What Lu Shi cares about is not these. He only hopes that she will think more about himself. Obviously, Chu Ran will be wrong.

Lu Shi didn't want to explain, so he put the gift list aside, "Does Your Highness know who His Majesty sent to Qinghe?"

"It's definitely not King Heng. I think it's probably a pedantic and old-fashioned person, Zhou Wenyi?" Chu Ran guessed, she looked up at Lu Shi, her jade face was crystal clear, and her eyes were shining brightly, making people unbearable Go ahead and pinch it.

Lu Shi didn't bear it either, and pinched her face and said coldly, "Lu Huaisi."

"Your second brother?"
