It was the next day when Ningguo received Li Jinglan's invitation.

She wanted to throw the post to the ground, crush it into pieces and then step on it, but she felt unsatisfied, so she ran to Zheng Guo to complain.

"She actually has the nerve to invite me?"

Back then at the Hot Spring Villa, Prince Jin sent a message asking her to go over and apologize. If she had known Lu Bozhou's identity at that time, she would definitely not have gone.

Zheng Guo picked up the post and looked at it, then threw it on the table. "Don't worry about these troubles, just sing and dance."

Princess Ningguo picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, looking bitter.

Zheng Guo sat crookedly beside her, clapping his hands quite seriously, seemingly immersed in the singing and dancing.

Princess Ningguo was actually a little envious of Zheng Guo's carefree life.

Not long after Zheng Guo was born, he was taken away and raised by the queen.

After raising Zheng Guo, the queen suddenly became pregnant.

The queen believed that it was Zheng Guo who brought her the pregnancy and she doted on him very much.

Zheng Guo grew up in the palace.

Except for not getting Xu Jingchen, Zheng State had everything it wanted.

Zheng Guo turned his head and glanced at his sister's expression. "I'll find you a few lovers to keep at home. Looking at those handsome young men, your mood will naturally improve."

Ning Guo was frightened and hurriedly covered Zheng Guo's mouth: "Auntie, please keep your voice down. Your brother-in-law and I have a good relationship, and he doesn't have any concubines. Why should I keep a lover?"

"What if he likes men?" Zheng Guo stabbed Ning Guo lightly.

Ning Guo was furious and pinched Zheng Guo: "He is not that kind of person."

Zheng Guo glanced at Ning Guo, then turned to look at Taichung.

The dancers were spinning in the air, and string music was fluttering.

As the music suddenly rose, Zheng Guo spoke slowly, "Let's go to the Lu family!"

Ning Guo was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to speak, Zheng Guo stood up, walked to the beautiful dancer and danced with her.

Zheng Guo's dance moves lightly and her figure is graceful.

She smiled, as bright as the sunshine.

It seemed as if the sentence just now was Ning Guo’s illusion.

……

Princess Ningguo did not show up for the appointment. Not only did she not show up for the appointment, she also sent people to smash Li Jinglan's shop.

Li Jinglan helped Gao Daxi get off the carriage, only to see the whole place in disarray.

The shop was demolished completely, with the walls and roof removed.

The sign of Lu's canned fruit store was smashed into two pieces and thrown on the ruins.

"Only children would destroy a house." Li Jinglan was speechless.

She is indeed a royal princess, unaware of the sufferings of the common people.

The store sells canned fruits, canned vegetables, chicken, duck and goose eggs.

As a result, everything was smashed at once.

The things are not valuable, probably even less than the money Ningguo spends on cosmetics in a month.

But it's full of food.

Food should not be wasted.

I also heard that the people sent by Princess Ningguo cleared out everyone in the store before smashing the store.

No one is hurt.

Only then did Li Jinglan feel relieved.

"Send some people to clean up the ruins, and if there is any usable food, give it to the poor families outside the city."

After Li Jinglan finished giving instructions, she turned and left.

Later that day, Prince Jin sent a eunuch to bring the title deed to Qingjiang Tower as an apology.

"I don't know how to run a restaurant." Li Jinglan declined.

"There is no need to run the restaurant anymore. The prince has given the restaurant's manager and waiters to the lady." said the eunuch.

Li Jinglan insisted: "My shop is just a small shop with an income of only 100 taels last year. It can't match the income of Qingjiang Tower in a month."

"The fact that the prince gave Qingjiang Tower as compensation to me really makes me feel uneasy."

"My only regret is the canned and pickled eggs in the store. They are the eggs that the people of our Xishui Village saved one by one and sold to us to improve our lives."

"The shops can be destroyed, but if the people's hearts are destroyed, they will be gone."

The eunuch relayed Li Jinglan's words to Prince Jin.

Prince Jin sat there for a long while, holding his forehead.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "Tell Master Xu that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring... He and Ningguo only had one son, which is truly unfilial!"

"If you don't get pregnant within two months, I'll tear his head off and kick it like a ball!"

King Jin pointed his finger in the air and said, "Give birth to one next year, and another the year after!"

After being angry for a long time, she thought of Zheng State again, and her heart ached even more.

"It's all debt!" King Jin gritted his teeth.

……

Although Princess Ningguo smashed the shop, Li Jinglan still had another shop.

It didn't affect business.

After the Cold Clothes Festival, winter has arrived and the business of the shops is very good now.

As for the smashed shop, Li Jinglan has also made up her mind. She will try to buy over the surrounding shops and then build a two-story small shopping mall.

The counter inside was rented out and she only collected the rent.

The emperor rewarded her with a thousand taels of gold, which was just enough to buy up nearby shops.

Lu Bozhou came back from the Taimiao and only found out about what happened after he returned to the palace to report for duty.

"No wonder His Majesty rewarded me with five thousand taels of silver." It turned out that he was making an apology to Princess Ningguo.

Hearing that the emperor had given her another reward, Li Jinglan's eyes lit up, "It would be great if Princess Ningguo could smash our other store as well."

It’s really worth it to exchange five thousand taels for one shop.

"You should have informed me before smashing the shop. It would have been heartbreaking if I had moved the food out." Li Jinglan began to think about how Princess Ningguo would smash the shop next time.

Lu Bozhou smiled and pinched Li Jinglan's cheek, "You are quite open-minded."

Then he turned around and went outside to bring in a pot of camellia. "This is the camellia planted outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Every official who goes to the Imperial Ancestral Temple can bring back a pot."

"This camellia is so beautiful." Li Jinglan took the camellia with a bunch of flowers and said, "Let's put it in the bedroom."

"Your Majesty has given me two days off. Shall we go back to Xishui Village to pay homage to our parents tomorrow morning?" Lu Bozhou said.

Li Jinglan nodded: "Okay, I'll ask them to prepare now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Bozhou grabbed her and held her in his arms, but told Gao Daxi: "You go and do this."

Gao Daxi nodded his head and turned to leave.

Seeing Gao Daxi leave, Lu Bozhou whispered in Li Jinglan's ear, "Your Majesty has not made any move since he asked Lu Xuande to go to the court and reveal half of my life story that day."

Li Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's waiting to see who can't help but jump out."

Lu Bozhou nodded.

I feel like the emperor’s thoughts are too hard to guess.

Not only did the revelation of his life story stop halfway, but Lord Zhao's resignation was no longer mentioned.

"By the way, I asked Duke Xu and Duke Wei for advice on a few postures on the way." Lu Bozhou said with great interest.

"Wait, wait, what are you asking them?" Li Jinglan was shocked.

Are the young people nowadays so brave that they dare to ask others for advice on postures?

"It's the boxing posture." Lu Bozhou gestured with his hands, "They say it can help you exercise. Lord Xu said I'm too thin."

Lu Bozhou suddenly came to his senses and looked at Li Jinglan with amusement, "What else do you think it is? Are you thinking wrongly? Tell me, are you thinking wrongly?"

Li Jinglan blushed and punched him: "That's called boxing, not posture. You are clearly misleading me."

"I haven't practiced any boxing, so I can't think of any words to use right now." Lu Bozhou spread his hands, looking quite aggrieved, and then began to ask Li Jinglan, "What posture were you thinking of just now?"

"The flowers are blooming really beautifully." Li Jinglan changed the subject.

"Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."

"Go away."

The bright red camellia flowers are reflected on my cheeks.

Li Jinglan's face is more beautiful than camellia.
