The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

More than half a month later, Jingshu crossed the desert and arrived at Handongwei. He bought a carriage in a local town and replenished supplies. After another five or six days, he finally arrived at Hamiwei.

"Is sister okay?" Jiang Xue asked nervously as soon as she arrived at the inn.

"It's okay." Jing Shu shook her head, caressed her slightly pregnant belly, took a breath, and sat down to rest.

Although she was tired along the way, fortunately, there was a prescription prepared by Dr. Chen for her.

Before leaving, she took the medicine according to the prescription. The fetal condition was stable along the way. There were occasional small fluctuations, but it was no big deal. Now that she had been traveling for more than 20 days, her body was indeed a little unbearable. .

But luckily it's finally here.

Jing Shu helped Jiang Xue support her and went to bed to rest. She fell asleep almost as soon as she lay down and didn't wake up until the evening.

By this time, Yue Ling had returned.

After Jingshu got up, Jiang Xue asked the inn waiter to bring dinner.

After dinner was put on the table, he called Yue Ling over for dinner.

"Sister, everything has been settled. The Sijin House is a street across the street from the Governor's Mansion. This family just wanted to move to another place, so they bought it for 8,000 taels. It is the most lively and prosperous place in the city. The owner of a restaurant in the area is short of money recently and has set a price of twenty-five thousand taels." He said immediately as soon as he saw Jing Shu.

"What a coincidence? One of them just wants to move out, and the other is short of money?" Jing Shu glanced at him.

"Yes, my sister must be lucky. God knew that my sister wanted it, so it just happened to happen to me." Yue Ling's mouth was sweet, but his eyes were darting from side to side with a guilty conscience, and he didn't dare to look at her.

Jing Shu knew that he must have used extraordinary means to force her to agree, otherwise why wouldn't she want a good house and a good business?

But she didn't ask any more questions, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

Yue Ling's mind was filled with images of the official family and the restaurant owner being threatened by him with a knife and kneeling in front of him to beg for mercy. He felt guilty and did not dare to speak. He picked up his chopsticks and ate frantically. After finishing the meal, he found an excuse to run away. .

The next day, after everything was packed, Jing Shu, Yue Ling and Jiang Xue moved into the new house.

Jiang Xue hired slaves and guards in the city, and the house became lively and popular.

The plaque at the gate was changed.

The former official residence has now become the "Luo Mansion".

Then, the restaurant that was doing very well also changed its name, renovated it, and reopened for business half a month later. Its name was "Luoshen Pavilion". As for the name, it instantly made this restaurant one of the most famous restaurants in the city. The most popular restaurant.

Princess Love, who was the most beautiful woman in the world at that time, later lost all news due to the fall of Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

However, even after so many years, various legends about her have never stopped.

Now, Jingshu directly asked Jiang Xue to let out the news, saying that this restaurant was opened by Princess Love, and Princess Love was the woman that the Governor Yingtian had been thinking about for many years, and Yingtian did it because of her. She is still unmarried, which makes people around her think that the person behind this restaurant is Ying Tian.

For a time, Luoshen Pavilion's business was booming, and it also successfully attracted the attention of local dignitaries in Hamiwei. Many people flocked to Luoshen Pavilion just to catch a glimpse of the most beautiful woman in the world in the past.

Of course, there were also those who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and clamored for Princess Love to come out to accompany them, but they were all beaten up by Yue Ling and thrown out of the restaurant.

It was precisely because of this commotion that people realized that there was something not simple behind this restaurant. I am afraid that it was really the Governor Yingtian who came to protect it. This only aroused the curiosity of the powerful.

Jing Shu struck while the iron was hot and introduced a membership system. The restaurant did not accept ordinary guests, only those who had become members.

As for membership qualifications, it is extremely demanding.

Or if you are very rich, just spend money to buy it.

Either the family has the power to have connections and resources, and they trade status for it.

After she did this, not only did the business of Luoshen Pavilion not get worse, but people flocked to it. The local powerful and wealthy businessmen were all trying to become members. Even if they just had a cup of tea here, it would be extra honorable to talk about it. , the business at home will be easier to negotiate.

In just one month, Luoshen Pavilion and the owner behind it, "Princess Love", became the hottest topic of conversation in the city. Even the usually majestic and solemn Governor's Mansion had heard about it.

"Sister, the cousin of the Governor's Palace wants to join our membership." On this day, Jing Shu was leisurely playing with a few gems she had just bought from a merchant in the Western Regions, when she suddenly heard Jiang Xue coming in to report.

"After fishing for so long, the fish finally took the bait." Jing Shu curled her lips, then glanced at Jiang Xue, "Has everything been arranged?"

"Don't worry, sister, I've been waiting for her to come!" Jiang Xue also smiled slightly.

"Let's go and meet the cousin of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for a while! Tsk, she is almost forty years old and has given birth to two children. She is still called Miss Cousin all day long for fear that others will not know. Is she just a good-for-nothing snack who takes advantage of the governor's mansion to make a living?" Jing Shu stood up and walked out with a disdainful tone.

She prepared some more things, then went to the private room next door and sat behind the screen.

Not long after, the door was opened and a figure came in.

Jing Shu looked at the middle-aged woman who appeared in the room through the screen, and memories of this person from her childhood emerged in her mind.

Wen Ran is the daughter of Zhou, the aunt of the northwest governor Yingtian.

When Ying Tian was fourteen years old, he was kidnapped by the enemy Beirong Xizuo who had sneaked into the Governor's Palace. It was Zhou who saved him regardless of his life. Although Ying Tian was out of danger, Zhou died of serious injuries.

Before she died, Mrs. Zhou entrusted her daughter Wen Ran, who had just turned ten at the time, to Ying Tian's care. Since then, Wen Ran has lived in the Dudu Mansion as a cousin and grew up with Ying Tian.

Yingtian owed his life to Zhou, so he loved his cousin as his own sister and indulged her in everything.

However, he didn't know that Wen Ran's dream since childhood was to marry her and become the governor's wife.

The official position of Governor of the Northwest was quite special in the imperial court. Because of its geographical location adjacent to Beirong, it was also a military, political, and commercial fortress connecting various countries in the Western Regions. The enemy Beirong was eyeing him, and only the Ying family army could hold him down.

Therefore, despite two dynasty changes during this period, the governor of the northwest has always been hereditary from the Ying family.

The imperial court could not reach out. In order to maintain the stability of the border, it also gave the northwest governor great power, as long as the Ying family's army did not rebel.

Otherwise, the Ying family army and the ambitious Beirong would not be able to be handled by the court.

It is also for this reason that every governor is known as the "Emperor of Saibei", and even the real emperor far away in the capital cannot restrain him.

From this we can imagine Yingtian’s position in Saibei.

If she can become his wife, then in Saibei, she can be said to be inferior to ten thousand people.

Therefore, when Wen Ran learned that Ying Tian fell in love with the troubled Princess Love and planned to marry her, her dream of becoming the "Queen of North Saibei" was shattered, and she couldn't accept it in her heart. .

Afterwards, Wen Ran targeted Love openly and covertly.

Ying Tian is very talented in military affairs, but he is very rough in emotions. He is not aware of Wen Ran's attitude towards Love. Every time Love is in trouble, he subconsciously thinks of Zhou's life-saving kindness to him and repeats it three times. Protect Wen Ran several times.

Love felt sad, thinking that Ying Tian liked Wen Ran, so she left on her own.

But not long after, she discovered that she was pregnant.
