Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Qi Xingyun drank two cups of lotus seed wine and some tonics. At this time, his face was already flushed. From the surface, it was not obvious that he had been poisoned by poison.

Yang Ruoqing still felt distressed. You must know that the Lucky Mountain and Sea Pearl is not only a beautiful glass bead, but more importantly, a bead represents an extremely generous reward.

This is a real grand prize. Not to mention the physical objects, just the silver tael is enough to reach ten thousand taels.

Now there are two rewards to pay...

Yang Ruoqing thought about it, gritted her teeth, and simply added another reward, a total of three lucky mountain and sea pearls. This seemed more reasonable, at least it would not be seen as something fishy at first sight.

"Your Majesty, this is the list. Apart from this, what else needs to be prepared at Ningyuan Pavilion?"

Yang Ruoqing took out a list and put it on the table. She sent someone to clean Ningyuan Pavilion and asked Fu Yurou to go to the store to buy a batch of supplies.

Originally, these were all prepared by the palace, but now Qi Xingyun's plan is to try not to use the power of the royal family, otherwise any clues may make the entire plan fail.

Qi Xingyun picked it up and looked at it casually for a while.

There are all kinds of materials purchased above, and of course, many of them are purchased internally from Yang's Trading Company.

Even Yang Ruoqing herself still needs to act in accordance with the established regulations, so it is the purchase rather than taking it home directly.

The system is designed to be followed. If Yang Ruoqing takes the lead in not following the rules, how can we expect others to follow the rules?

So start with the big boss who is in charge. This is called leading by example.

"There are not enough cooks here. We need to prepare a few more and prepare the dishes for the trial..."

"And here, the guards are not strong enough. How can you be sure that no one will come down from the mountain..."

Qi Xingyun looked around and randomly pointed out a few inappropriate things.

Sure enough, Qi Xingyun's ability to do things is much better than Fu Yurou's, because it was Fu Yurou who made this list.

After Fu Yurou and Wang Sa got together, she gradually began to integrate into the core of the Yang family. In addition, she managed the huge Ningyuan Pavilion and accumulated rich experience.

The old people who were in charge of Ningyuan Pavilion have retired to their hometowns to rest, and they have been replaced by the younger generation headed by Fu Yurou.

"Don't you tell Empress Zhao, Empress Dowager Han, and Concubine Xian about this matter?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Queen Zhao's old father, Mr. Yingying, was the major shareholder of the Tianxia Commercial Alliance established by Yang Ruoqing. The new method of joint-stock system had been carried forward by Mr. Yingying.

As for the Queen Mother Han, she was the concubine of the late emperor. The Queen Mother Han has passed away. The one who still lives in the harem is the Little Queen Mother Han. But since Qi Xingyun succeeded to the throne, the Little Queen Mother Han has only fasted and chanted Buddha's name, and has not been concerned about worldly affairs.

Just tell her about all the important matters in the palace.

Qi Xingyun's expression changed for a moment, and then he made a decision.

"If you don't tell them, it's a big matter and it's not appropriate to spread the word." Qi Xingyun shook his head.

"Your Majesty has the final say." Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"By the way, has Concubine Ming's tablet been rearranged?" Qi Xingyun suddenly thought of this.

"Of course it's done. You can see it when you go over there. It won't be too late to offer sacrifices after His Majesty has gone." Yang Ruoqing said.

The past grudges between Concubine Ming and Emperor Qi Wei are over. The important thing is that Concubine Ming who committed suicide in Ningyuan Pavilion was actually Qi Xingyun's real grandmother.

Qi Xingyun has never seen this concubine, but it has always been the late emperor's wish to worship her again.

It's just that the late emperor never did it. There were a lot of forces in the civil and military ministers, as well as the harem and the palace who opposed the worship of Ming Fei, which made it impossible for the late emperor to do whatever he wanted.

As for Qi Xingyun's generation, there are fewer and fewer old ministers and people from the previous two eras, and their influence on the court is getting weaker and weaker.

After many years of management, he was finally able to worship Concubine Ming in a grand manner.

"Then let it be like this. I will make further arrangements after the last battle between the Imperial Guards is over."

…

Yang Ruoqing left the palace, took a carriage, and entered a street in front of her. After a few steps, she was blocked by a middle-aged man in white.

Yang Ruoqing opened the curtain and saw an acquaintance.

"Master Lu, have you returned to Beijing?" Yang Ruoqing showed a smile on her face.

"Mrs. Yang, I have ordered a table of food at a nearby restaurant. I wonder if I can invite you?" Lu Yuanding bowed his hands and said.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Yang Ruoqing got out of the car with Hongxiu and two secret guards, and followed Lu Yuanding to a nearby restaurant.

It's true that Lu Yuanding was a decent man. It was unclear what he wanted to do when he blocked Yang Ruoqing on her way back home.

Yang Ruoqing just wanted to see Lu Yuanding's true intention.

There is indeed a good restaurant near here called Qingzhu Renjia.

This restaurant is a garden, with green bamboo growing everywhere. In addition, a large number of osmanthus trees are also planted.

As soon as she entered the door of Qingzhu's house, Yang Ruoqing could already smell the fragrant aroma.

"Welcome our distinguished guests!"

Two young men wearing blue robes bowed and saluted. Their blue robes were very distinctive. There were many bamboos embroidered with thin threads on the clothes, and the workmanship was very fine.

"Mrs. Yang, Miss Hongxiu, please come inside!" Lu Yuanding raised his hand and said.

Along the way, the smell of green bamboo mixed with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus makes people feel relaxed and happy.

After walking along the warm stone road for a while, we entered an independent pavilion.

At this time, two people were waiting at the door.

Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw their faces.

One is a chubby man wearing bamboo brocade clothes, and the other is a middle-aged man who is very handsome and has a pair of very deep eyes.

He is clearly one of the great Confucians in the world, Feng Yueheng, one of the leaders of Dongling Academy!

This Feng Yueheng is no ordinary person.

At least Yang Ruoqing had already experienced the power of Feng Yueheng last time.

The original intention was to lure the snake out of the hole and lure Feng Yueheng into action, but in the end when the court faced off, only a few minor figures jumped out, and the real figurehead Feng Yueheng did not appear.

And the other person who can stand with Feng Yueheng is not an unknown person, but Yang Ruoqing doesn't know him.

Yang Ruoqing only knows at most 1% of the powerful people in Daqi, and has only heard of many more but has never seen them.

"Mrs. Yang, let me introduce to you. These two are Feng Yueheng, a master of Dongling, the owner of the Qingzhu family, and the wealthy businessman Liu Ruhai."

"Nice to meet you." Yang Ruoqing smiled lightly.

We exchanged a few words casually.

"Mrs. Yang, let's talk inside." Feng Yueheng showed an elegant smile.

"Mrs. Yang, please." Liu Ruhai waved his sleeves and showed an honest smile.
