The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

Chu Ran fell asleep quickly, and when Lu Shi tucked up the quilt for her, she fell into a deep sleep. When he stroked her forehead, she found that she had a slight fever, and her eyes had to fall on the empty bowl of medicinal soup on the table.

She was a little unclear about Ran's thoughts, what was the reason for the rash move, or what made her eager to bring down King Heng.

King Heng's prestige among the people has threatened His Majesty, and it doesn't take Wu Jiang's incident to know that His Majesty can't hold back. Chu Ran's move may be feasible, it depends on how the Huo family behaves.

Chu Ran's low fever has not subsided, Lu Shishou called Axiu over after dawn, she needs to change clothes to enter the palace early, and the matter of King Heng's departure from Beijing, His Majesty will discuss it again today.

It is a good thing that the prince is not in Beijing, so there is no need to be contaminated, and then His Majesty will point the finger at the prince again.

The crown prince was conferred at a young age, although he was no older than King Heng, and was the heir apparent, even if the Huo family later became the queen, he would have missed the opportunity after all.

Hengwang will not be reconciled easily when he is in the heirloom. His Highness has been thinking about it for many years. He has long wanted to eradicate Hengwang's party. In the past, he could hold it back.

His Majesty rejected King Heng's request early in the court, and sent an imperial physician to guard King Heng. The possibility of treatment is probably less than monitoring.

His Majesty's use of poison to control the matter, if King Heng goes to expose it, most likely he will give him the antidote, King Heng will really become a puppet, it depends on whether King Heng is willing.

After he came down to court, Zhou Wenyi caught up with Lu Xiang. He was slightly out of breath: "Lu Xiang, wait a minute, old people can't keep up with your young people's footsteps."

Lu Shi slowed down and walked slowly, the courtiers in twos and threes on the palace road were talking in low voices, Huo Qi's expression was not hesitant, and he also ignored the courtiers' questions.

After Zhou Wenyi breathed smoothly, he said, "I heard that someone impeached King Heng. Your Majesty is very displeased?"

How did Elder Zhou know what His Highness did?Lu Shi said: "Your Majesty hasn't said anything, I really don't know."

"Lu Xiang is cautious in doing things. It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. If His Majesty asks Lu Xiang to discuss the candidate, I hope you will consider Zhou." Zhou Wenyi said bluntly, and he didn't want to give way to Lu Xiang. Come on sooner to be honest.

Unlike the previous prime minister, Lu Shi did not form cliques or seek selfish interests. His neutral attitude made King Heng gnash his teeth with hatred. No matter how much he hated her, it was useless. She was upright, and it would be impossible for her to do something.

Zhou Wenyi is very optimistic about Lu Shi. Compared to Huo Qi who is greedy and doesn't care about the common people, Lu Shi is more than a hundred times stronger. Even though she is a woman, her talent cannot be overwhelmed.

Lu Shi didn't refuse either: "Just do your best."

The two parted at the gate of the palace, and not long after, the queen went out to visit King Heng again.

Lu Shi didn't go to the government office either, and drove back to the mansion.

At that time, Chu Ran was already awake and drinking porridge, and when he saw someone coming back in a hurry, he said strangely: "What kind of wind is blowing today that Lu Xiang came back so early, just in time to go to the chamber of commerce with me."

Axiu added a bowl of shredded chicken porridge to Lu Xiang, and retreated with her maids, not daring to face Lu Xiang, she was always restless in hiding what happened last night, Lu Xiang was smart, sooner or later she would not be able to hide it.

Chu Ran put on light makeup today, the corners of her lips were bright red, and the chicken porridge slid over her lips with a bit of temptation, Lu Shi glanced lightly, "The chamber of commerce is mixed with dragons and snakes, what are you going to do?"'

"Go and see, Prime Minister Lu doesn't want to go either. I'm just going to see Mrs. Pan. The Northwest Army's salary is not enough. I'll ask Mrs. Pan." Chu Ran glanced at her with her lips curled up.

The shredded chicken porridge was so soft that it almost didn't need to be bitten. It was a little itchy when it slid down the throat, but Lu Shi remained silent.

After breakfast, the maid took down the meal, and Lu Xiangcai, who was silent for a long time, said: "Now you don't need to have contact with the Northwest, I'll just send someone over there."

"Lu Xiang has money?" Chu Ran changed into a blue dress, and the green hills and dark greens were the most beautiful. She turned around and looked at Lu Shi with a smile.

"What your Highness wants, you don't need to beat around the bush." ​​Lu Shi exposed her little scheme, recruiting private soldiers in the northwest required more military pay, and the household department deducted some from time to time, which was even more stretched.After several years of fighting in secret, Huo Lian and his family are no longer incompatible.

Chu Ran blinked, "Okay, but the kind that you borrow and don't pay back."

Lu Shi was generous and didn't bother with her about these trivial matters. He walked over and reached for her waist: "But, you have to give me some time, and it's best to be careful, but your majesty is paying attention to King Heng these days, and won't care about the northwest."

Seeing her hand stretched out, Chu Ran retreated back: "The sky is bright and the sun is bright, what are you doing taking off my clothes, Lu Xiang should be more self-respecting."

"Since I don't see Mrs. Pan, change your clothes and go to rest." Lu Shi said confidently, but Chu Ran refused, and gently pushed her hand away, unwillingly: "I'll go to the chamber of commerce to have a look."

"Don't go." Lu Shi refused, "I still have a high fever in the morning, and I don't know if the fever has subsided yet, so don't go."

"I'll go and have a look. Today the chamber of commerce has the Huo family, Xiang Lu, Xiang Lu..."

The people in the room shouted for Prime Minister Lu, the maidservant in the outer porch didn't know what was going on, and listened with bated breath, but Axiu was worried and drove the person away, and she suddenly became suspicious, is His Highness's illness really all right?

In the morning, she was in good spirits, and she felt refreshed when she saw Lu Xiang, as if it was just some minor illness and pain.

In the early spring, the weather was warm, and even the sun felt amiable. Chu in the house was not as strong as Lu Shi after contracting an illness, and after being pressed on the couch, his eyes widened with anger, "Lu Shi, you are restricting my freedom. "

No one in the room responded, Lu Shi took off the emerald jade on her bun, loosened her hair, and covered Chu Ran with the quilt, and was lifted by the person on the couch after a while, and was thrown on the ground.

Lu Shi didn't get annoyed, he hugged her back and covered her up: "If your Highness is annoyed again, there will be no military pay in the northwest."

"Lu Shi, you're threatening me!"

"His Royal Highness is disobedient, and the minister is helpless."

Chu Ran's eyes were red with anger, and she stared dryly for a few times. Thinking of what Lu Shi did to her in the past, she was called a rogue, and the threat was nothing. She blurted out: "Go back to the princess mansion."

"Your Highness can also go back. There is still no military salary in the northwest. Madam Pan must not be able to get the money His Highness wants." Lu Shi is not afraid of her counter-threat. Madam Pan has a firm foothold in the city of Yingdu, how can she get much money? The military pay of the private army.

Lu Shi can be said to be confident, and Chu Ran was so angry that he had no choice but to do anything. After the threat was fruitless, a trace of depression accumulated in his heart, and he lay on the couch without going to see Lu Shi, but thinking about today's Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber of commerce is formed by the people and has its own system. Mrs. Pan came here because she wanted to get in. After making connections, she wanted to invite her to have a look. With some support from her, she would be able to speak better in the chamber of commerce.

She also wanted to go and have a look, but it was really a coincidence that Lu Shi would not go to the government office today and guard her in the mansion.

After turning over, he thought about how to make Lu Yi let go, but after thinking hard to no avail, the ground on his side collapsed, and a hand was put on his waist, and he hugged her tightly.

She just wanted to say 'don't touch me', but when she came to her mouth, she remembered that Lu Shi didn't sleep all night last night, so she couldn't bear to say it. After dawdling for a while, she wanted to wait for Lu Shi to fall asleep first, and then she would leave the house.

The two of them remained silent, and Chu Ran didn't move, because he didn't want to quarrel with Lu Shi.Lu Shi, on the other hand, knew that His Highness was angry, so he waited for a while before coaxing him.

Even though she didn't sleep all night, she didn't feel sleepy. She just wanted to comfort His Highness, and the smile deepened on her lips, "Why do you need to go there yourself if you want the Pan family to join the chamber of commerce? Just ask someone to tell you."

Chu Ran remained silent and did not struggle.Lu Shi continued to coax: "I will do it for His Highness, okay?"

The warmth of snuggling swept away the conflict between the two, and Chu Ran knew that she was good, but in this way, she owed her even more, and said: "Why don't I give you an IOU in the name of the prince, How about if he borrowed the money?"

"Why not in the name of His Highness?" Lu Shi chuckled.

Chu Ran turned around, "I still don't know, the IOU is just a piece of paper." She was poor, and she could pay it back wherever she had money. If the crown prince inherited the throne, it would be easy to pay back the money.

"It turns out that Your Highness knows that I don't know clearly." There was something in Lu Shi's words. Seeing that the angry person was finally willing to face him, the tenderness in his eyes deepened, and there was no sign of fatigue.

She never seemed to be tired, and Chu Ran didn't know where her spirit came from. After hearing her strange words, she was so ashamed that she couldn't speak, curled her lips, and moved closer to her eyes, spraying hot breath on Lu Shi's eyelashes , "So what if you still don't know, don't tell me it was sold to you a long time ago, is the princess of a country worthless?"

She lightly touched the corner of Lu Shi's lips, and she changed her mind if she could not threaten her. She smiled and looked directly at Lu Xiang: "Lu Xiang, the weather is fine today, why don't you and I go to the chamber of commerce to see it?"

Lu Shi turned his head sideways, avoiding her gaze: "No."

"A Shi, Ah Shi..." Chu Ran reached out to break Zheng Lu Xiang's face, forcing her to look at him: "Why are you hiding from me, what's wrong with me?"

"Noisy." Lu Shi pulled the quilt over her shoulders, pressed her under the quilt to prevent her from catching cold, and touched her forehead worriedly, feeling relieved only when the fever subsided.

Chu Ran didn't want to lie on the couch, so she continued to pull her to persuade her: "Ah Shi, I'll go and have a look, and I won't go to other places. If you don't feel at ease, go together, and you will be fine if you call the nursing home." .”

"Your Highness is not in good health. No matter how many nurses you call, it's useless. It's better to take good care of your illness." Lu Shi didn't care about it, ignoring the word "A Shi" who acted like a good boy.

Her tough attitude made Chu Ran aware of her cold temper for the first time. With drooping eyebrows and eyes, she could not restrain herself with force, and leaned on Lu Xiang, saying: "I'm not a young child. I don't have experience, don't you?" treat me like a child."

"Well. His Highness grows up, at least he won't cry." Lu Shi closed his eyes. His Highness loved to cry when he was young, especially when things went wrong. The Queen had no time to take care of her at that time, so she cultivated her crying temperament. , I thought I would marry Xiaokubao, but I didn't want to be very strong when I grew up.

Where did Chu Ran remember these old things? Hearing what she said, she said cheekily, "Why don't I cry for Xiang Lu to see?"

"Your Highness cried down the Great Wall, and I won't let you out of the house." Lu Shi held back a smile, trying very hard, trying to push him down, but His Highness was tightly wrapped around her, and she suffered from a headache.

Sick people are even more difficult to deal with, especially those who are stubborn.

Lu Shi was entangled and helpless, if he did not agree, His Highness would be able to say for a few days, "Your Highness is only allowed to go to the chamber of commerce, change into a robe and leave the house."

"Okay." Chu Ran happily agreed, got up from her body, and called the maidservant to come in to make up.

Seeing her joyful appearance, Lu Shi leaned on the pillow and regretted it. After thinking twice, he also changed into ordinary clothes and left the house with His Highness.

Lu Shi wanted to follow, but Chu Ran didn't refuse. This person followed if he wanted to, and asked the coachman to drive to the chamber of commerce.

***

The rich and the poor live separately in the city of Yingdu, and the merchants live in a large area, but they dare not be too extravagant for fear of being offended by the court, so the chamber of commerce seems simple, but in fact it is elegant and luxurious.

Merchants like to wear gold and silver, and silk and satin are also classified into grades, so naturally pick the best ones for use.The land of the chamber of commerce occupies a larger area than the office, and it was remodeled after several houses were opened up. Even if someone in the court said something, no one would care.

In addition, there must be someone behind the merchants in the chamber of commerce, such as the Huo family, there will be no one who does not have eyes to offend.

The carriage stopped outside the main entrance, the maid handed over the post, Chu Ran lifted the curtain, and stopped Lu Shi when he was about to get out of the car: "You don't want to go, almost everyone knows Lu Xiang's appearance, if you go in, you will definitely mess up. "

"Is there anyone who doesn't know His Highness's appearance?" Lu Shi said indifferently, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and suddenly thought of something, he changed into a generous way: "Your Highness, be careful when you go in, don't meet too many people, be careful of accidents .”

"The yin and yang are weird." Chu Ran muttered in a low voice, helping the handmaiden get out of the car.

Today she is wearing a purple robe with beautiful jade around her waist, she is as gentle as a child of a family going out to play, the disciples let her go after seeing the post, and Mrs. Pan rushed over after getting the letter.

Seeing the frail young man was very surprised, but fortunately she had seen a big storm, so she hid her embarrassment and invited him in, saying: "The women talked about some silk business, the price is not high, then go to sea for a trip, It would be nice to come back with some good stones.”

Knowing that she wanted to grab it with both hands, Chu Ran nodded and said, "Madam, you can do whatever you want. Where are the Huo family?"

"After Huo Erye left, his son took over. He was courageous, but he was a little arrogant and kept the price very low. There were complaints for a while, but no one dared to refute."

"Bullying and dominating the market?" Chu Ran smiled lightly. The Huo family still hadn't learned their lesson. They used their power to suppress the merchants, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"The people of the Huo family are like this. In the past, the second master Huo was a little restrained, but now after the young master Huo took over, he just got worse."

The two of them were walking on the gravel road. There were countless merchants in the chamber of commerce. Mrs. Pan had just entered the capital city of Ying.

The discussion in the chamber of commerce is about pricing. The Huo family controls the pricing, and the rest dare not speak. Chu Ran chose a secluded place. After sitting down, he looked at the man in the brocade robe in the middle. He was eloquent and said a lot about her I don't understand words.

Mrs. Pan kept a distance from her, about ten steps away, and was discussing with a woman. Both of them looked bad, especially after hearing the Huo family's words, they shook their heads one after another, and dared not speak out.

The land of Churan is relatively hidden, and no one cares about it. She shook the teacup in her hand, and when she was about to disrupt the situation, a woman in red walked by the case. The red gemstones on her bun complemented each other, making her skin as white as snow , with a plum blossom between the forehead and heart, coquettish and charming.

The woman has a charming appearance and moves like willows. She sits gracefully in front of Chu Ran, with slender fingers, and reaches out to touch Chu Ran's cheek: "Young master looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is able to enter the chamber of commerce. I think there must be someone extraordinary the ability."

She blocked Chu Ran's way like a familiarity, and made moves so that people could not understand her purpose. Chu Ran saw that she was only Hua Xin's age, could it be that she was a widow?

Only a widow would touch a beautiful young master like this. She found it interesting, and she was not in a hurry to leave, so she said, "Madam, are you afraid that your husband will divorce you?"

"Young master, I'm joking. I haven't married yet. Where did my husband come from? But I think the young master is pretty good. Why don't you force me to marry you? The dowry depends on whether you can afford it." The woman smiled like a flower. The young master is not a man of coddling, so he reached out to touch it again.

Chu Ran didn't know the identity of this person, so she smiled: "You have a wife at home, you should marry someone else."

The woman was surprised, "I think there is a tigress in my family?"
