After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

In Duke Qing's Mansion early the next morning, when Xiao Yuanjing woke up from the bed, he was still in a daze for a long time, looking left and right at the surrounding environment.

I haven't gone back to modern times, and the environment is strange, oh, it's in the Duke of Qing's mansion.

Xiao Yuanjing, who had regained his sanity, began to stretch, and snorted comfortably. He only felt refreshed, and then he got out of the bed. Lidong who heard the sound quickly opened the curtain and waited on him. Follow Xiao Yuanjing to wash and dress.

Lidong said: "Your Highness, do you still have to go to the Ministry of Industry after this meeting?"

Xiao Yuan nodded his head in response. After washing, he remembered Wei Changgong who lived in the west wing next door, and asked involuntarily, "By the way, where is Brother Wei, is he awake yet?"

Lidong felt a little unhappy. After Xiao Yuanjing went to Hongxiu Pavilion last night, Lidong knew that Wei Changgong and the others did not go, so he secretly listened to the corner of the wall, trying to find out the flaws in their words, and see if they were interested in Xiao Yuanjing. There are disadvantages.

However, after listening for more than half an hour, I heard that they really came to the capital to find someone, but they didn't know where the person they were looking for was, and they might have to stay in the capital for a while to wait and see what happened.

Perhaps because of this, Lidong's wariness towards Wei Changgong and the others had dropped a lot. Now when he was buckling Xiao Yuanjing's belt and putting on the accessories, he answered seriously: "Mr. After meeting with the Duke and the Crown Prince, he left, and before leaving, he specially told the servants that they will be in the capital for a while, if the prince wants to find them, he only needs to leave a message at Shili Piaoxiang Building, and they will naturally go."

Hearing Wei Changgong leave without making a sound, Xiao Yuanjing was taken aback for a moment, and then responded.

I didn't think much about it, I just felt a little bit lost, and even saying goodbye needed to be passed on by someone else, Xiao Yuanjing felt a little unhappy.

After all, life must have a sense of ritual, even saying goodbye.

But after thinking about it again, they came to the capital to find someone, so naturally their own business was important, maybe they didn't want to trouble themselves anymore, that's why they said goodbye in this way.

Xiao Yuanjing, who comforted him like this, felt a little better in his heart, let Lidong comb his hair into a bun, and then put on a white jade hair crown.

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Xiao Yuanjing followed Xun Ruobai to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and then Xun Ruobai took Xiao Yuanjing to the West Market. But after all, there are many things that the palace has never seen before.

Especially since the former emperor stabilized the border and opened up trade with the Western Regions, there have been a lot of merchants from the Western Regions in the capital, who speak the Central Plains dialect not very fluently, do business with the Central Plains people, and sell good products from the Western Regions. Horses, fruits, furs, etc. are replaced with silk from the Middle Earth, and the silk and satin are sold back to the Western Regions.

Because of the trade between the Western Regions and the Middle Earth, many foreign goods were brought in, and gradually some people printed some foreign patterns on clothes, which made the clothing trend in the capital.

Listening to Xun Ruobai explaining the big and small things in the capital to himself, Xiao Yuanjing seemed to see a business opportunity, no matter what Xun Ruobai said, there was only one thing on his mind.

When he leaves the palace in the future, he must rely on his own identity to open a shop to make money, the more the better.

After all, waiting for the emperor and empress to give birth to a son, Xiao Yuanjing wanted to train him into a thigh.

However, it takes money to educate children. If you lose something, you can't lose education, and if you are poor, you can't poor children.

He Xiao Yuanjing wanted to use the money he earned to cultivate his thighs, and then let his thighs cover him to make more money.

After all, every investment comes with a return. There is no return without investment. The empty-handed white wolf will not work, it is a liar.

After buying the gift for returning to the palace, Xiao Yuanjing followed Xun Ruobai to Xishikou in a carriage and returned to the palace contentedly. However, at the corner of Xishikou, he saw a shop, and the boss was in a shop. Moving things out one by one.

Xiao Yuanjing froze, his gaze fell on the pavement, thoughtful.

Xun Ruobai stood beside him, followed his line of sight, and immediately said, "It turned out to be a drug store. The shopkeeper committed a crime and was arrested, so the store is empty."

Listening to his words, Xiao Yuanjing only responded softly, and a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly looked at Xun Ruobai: "Cousin, what do you think I'll make it for it?"

Xun Ruobai was slightly stunned: "Your Highness means..."

Immediately, Xiao Yuanjing showed a surprised smile on his face, looked straight at Xun Ruobai and said, "Cousin, I want to take this shop down and open a hotpot restaurant! How about it?"

Xun Ruobai frowned lightly: "Open a hot pot restaurant? Some of my court's relatives and ministers are receiving the imperial court's salary, but after all, there is a big family to support, and the salary is meager. I'm afraid it's not enough for expenses, so they also have their own property. For example, in our Duke Qing’s mansion, we rented some land outside the city to the villagers and paid a certain amount of rent every month. If they had a good harvest, after deducting the rent, the rest would be ours, including King Rongping. As far as I know, Yes, he has three pawnshops in the city. As for the other ministers, they mostly deal in gold and jade wares. Only His Highness’s uncle, Prince Anping, an idle prince, opened a teahouse. Officials are not allowed to drink at the stalls in the downtown area, and now you are going to open a hot pot restaurant? Sell pots?"

Xiao Yuanjing frowned, and stared at Xun Ruobai with some dissatisfaction: "It's just a shabu-shabu, I changed the soup base for it, it tastes great, since this can be used for business, I decided to put this Get down the shop and open a hot pot restaurant!"

But when mentioning hot pot, Xiao Yuanjing seemed to remember something that he seemed to have forgotten.

... "Chang Gong, my current name is Chang Gong."...

In Xiao Yuanjing's mind, when he was chatting with the copper pot, the voice of the copper pot was circling in his mind again, attacking his heart word by word.

"Chang... Chang Gong, Wei Changgong?"

Xiao Yuanjing muttered to himself.

In Xun Ruobai's eyes, his distraught appearance made him a little worried: "Your Highness, what's wrong, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yuanjing turned his head to look at Xun Ruobai beside him, but his mind was full of Tongguo's voice introducing himself back then, and he even teased him, saying that he had the same name as Gao Changgong, the God of War in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

And the brother Wei I met yesterday had the same voice and name as his Brother Guo, no wonder Wei Changgong said last night if he had anything to ask him, it was Brother Guo who was waiting to meet him!

Xiao Yuanjing just felt that he was too dull, and even forgot the face-to-face agreement with Brother Guo.

Although we met, he used a false identity to deceive him. Originally, Wei Changgong and the others left without saying goodbye in the morning. He comforted himself by saying that they came to the capital to find someone, but now that he thought about it, Wei Changgong came to the capital. Looking for him!

In the end, Xiao Yuanjing forgot all about it...

So Wei Changgong and the others, did they leave without saying goodbye because Xiao Yuanjing forgot about it and got angry?

Xiao Yuanjing didn't dare to interpret it too much, and he didn't dare to make up his mind anymore. He could even think that his brother Guo would ignore him for a long time when he got angry.

After all, he finally found a suitable skin and came to the capital to look for him.

Xun Ruobai was puzzled that Xiao Yuanjing's expression changed again and again, but he was a little worried: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Yuanjing waved his hand, and suddenly remembered what Lidong said, as if grasping a glimmer of hope: "Cousin, let's go to Piaoxiang Tower."

Xun Ruobai didn't understand why, but he couldn't object, after all, it was almost lunch time, so he followed Xiao Yuanjing's wishes, got in the carriage and went directly to Shili Piaoxiang Building.

It's just that Wei Changgong and the others didn't leave any other information, such as where they will live.

So Xiao Yuanjing can only go to Shili Piaoxianglou. Even if he doesn't meet him, he can leave a message to the shopkeeper of Shilipiaoxianglou. When they met, Xiao Yuanjing would be waiting for him in Ten Mile Piaoxiang Building that day.

The shopkeeper of Piaoxianglou knew Xiao Yuanjing and knew that he was a guest of Duke Qing's mansion, so he didn't dare to neglect him, and only said that he would definitely bring him a message when he saw him.

After arranging matters outside the palace, Xiao Yuanjing returned to the palace in a carriage, waiting to meet Brother Guo at Shili Piaoxiang Building five days later.

In the evening, Xiao Yuanjing's dinner was being prepared in the small kitchen of Chengqian Hall, while Xiao Yuanjing was writing a proposal book alone in the dormitory. With a wooden pen, earnestly and conscientiously, he wrote a plan to open a hot pot restaurant to make money.

Perhaps it was because the writing was so serious that he didn't even know that the emperor had arrived at Chengqian Palace.

When he heard his stomach growling, he realized that the emperor was sitting on a chair outside the bedroom, playing with some gadgets made by Xiao Yuanjing in his hands.

Xiao Yuanjing was a little surprised: "Father, why are you here?"

The emperor looked sideways at Xiao Yuanjing, waved to him, and signaled him to stand in front of him: "How do you feel about repairing the Zhenbei Palace outside the palace these two days?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Thank you, father, for giving me the opportunity, my son is doing it very well."

The emperor nodded and smiled slightly, put the tumbler in his hand back on the shelf, stood up and looked at the changes between Chengqian Palace and the past, then faced Xiao Yuanjing, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Royal father trusts Jing'er, but you have to come and see for yourself before you can rest assured."

Xiao Yuanjing saluted and said: "I will report to my father first when I return to the palace in the future. This time it is my negligence."

The emperor nodded: "That's it, I seem to have returned home, and if you do your job well, the emperor will see it."

Xiao Yuanjing thought about the hot pot prepared in Chengqian Palace tonight, and suddenly came up with an idea, and hurriedly said: "Father, my son is going to eat hot pot for dinner, father must have not eaten dinner, why don't you come with my son?" Do you want to eat hot pot?"

The emperor was taken aback: "Hot pot?"

Xiao Yuanjing nodded vigorously, quickly left the emperor in Chengqian Hall, and ordered the small kitchen to prepare more dishes for tonight, after all, the emperor was going to have dinner here.

In addition, Xiao Yuanjing asked the people in the small kitchen to specially serve the mandarin duck pot. The half he ate was adjusted according to his own taste, while the other side only put a little spicy soup base, which was suitable for the emperor's taste. .

The emperor had heard about Xiao Yuanjing's hot pot early in the morning, but he never had the chance to try it. Now that it's all over, he can actually stay and taste what the so-called hot pot tastes like.

It's just that the waiters just brought the pot and dishes to the table, and Xiao Yuanchen rushed in from outside the hall in a hurry:

"Fourth brother! I heard that we will have hot pot tonight, so I'm here to eat!"
