Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

"The queen and the prince were afraid that the news would reach the ears of King Zhenbei, and they were also afraid of the suspicion of the palace man, so they have always kept a low profile. Almost no one in Kyoto knows about this..."

"Yu Xiaoxiao just made such a fuss. There is no guarantee that someone will go back to investigate the matter in detail. When the truth is exposed, the prince's wishful thinking will be miscalculated."

Meng Xia said contemptuously.

The Man Yue Tower belongs to King Zhenbei and Princess Changning, and the second bedroom is not qualified to deal with it.

Therefore, it is shameful for them to have any deals with the monk family, the prince and the queen behind their backs.

If this matter is exposed, the prince will have a headache.

I have to say that Yu Xiaoxiao is really his "lucky star".

"Didn't all the money earned by Man Yue Lou go into the prince's pocket over the years?"

Yu Yunxi's face darkened slightly.

Immediately unhappy.

It would be fine if she took advantage of others, including Empress Qin and Chu Yuefu, she would never allow it.

"Princess, don't worry, the shopkeeper Liu of this teahouse is from King Zhenbei. As early as when Empress Qin came up with the idea of ​​the restaurant, shopkeeper Liu sent people thousands of miles to deliver a letter to King Zhenbei."

"Then Father, what's your attitude?"

Yu Yunxi raised her eyes and looked at Meng Xia, and asked curiously.

After all, this Man Yue Tower belongs to her father. If her father doesn't care about it, she will feel unhappy and there is nothing she can do about it.

Meng Xia covered her mouth and smiled: "King Zhenbei asked the shopkeeper to obey Empress Qin's wishes. Anyway, in Kyoto, if there is no backstage, business cannot be done. Therefore, let the Qin family and Empress Qin work hard to become Yue Man. The backstage of the building..."

"Yes, with such a big restaurant, it is inevitable that people will be jealous. Of course, small tricks in the dark and making things difficult in the open are indispensable. If the Crown Prince and Queen Qin want to make money, they will definitely not stand idly by."

Yu Yunxi whispered softly.

Presumably, this is one of the reasons why Manwollou has lived peacefully in Kyoto for so many years.

"Shopkeeper Liu has clearly written down every account of Man Yue Tower over the years. He copied many copies and sent someone to deliver them to King Zhenbei. So... until the day King Zhenbei returns to Kyoto, Qin It’s time for the Queen and the Prince to spit out their money.”

Meng Xia explained very excitedly.

Yu Yunxi's eyes quickly flashed with light.

"You mean...my father will come back?"

Although she has never met her father, she is actually happy and looking forward to his presence.

Forehead……

Meng Xia's smile froze.

It's over, she seems to have accidentally revealed some secret.

Observing Meng Xia's eyes, Yu Yunxi asked meaningfully: "I am very curious about another thing. Since almost no one knows about the relationship between Yue Manlou and Queen Qin, how do you know about it?"

Meng Xia: "..."

It's over. The eldest princess is too smart. I can't hide the secret anymore.

"Meng Xia, this princess doesn't like people who lie."

Yu Yunxi yawned faintly, and then spoke meaningfully.

Meng Xia panicked. She quickly knelt down and said seriously: "I once told the eldest princess that my father was a subordinate of King Zhenbei before he passed away. Two days ago, my father's best friend, he is still the king of Zhenbei. The deputy general in the military camp, he wrote personally to tell the slave many past events."

"Then what……"

"The prince is very happy because of your existence. He has always wanted to come back to see you, but he is afraid of being rude, so he wants the slave to write down everything about you and then tell him through a letter."

Meng Xia answered while secretly watching Yu Yunxi's expression.

Only then did he dare to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart when he found that she was not angry.

"Father, are you happy because of my existence?" Yu Yunxi whispered these words.

At some point, the corners of her mouth began to curl up, and warmth flowed through her heart.

"I always thought that my father had not paid attention to the life and death of me and my mother and concubine for many years. Even if he knew that I was coming back, he would not express his position because he was tired of me."

She smiled bitterly.

"How could it be? The prince loves you and Princess Changning the most. He has been sending people to inquire about the situation in Kyoto. He even..."

Meng Xia wanted to say something else, but she quickly realized that she might have said something wrong, and she quickly fell silent.

"Even what?" Yu Yunxi looked at Meng Xia with inquiring eyes.

Meng Xia swallowed hard, her heart beating wildly.

"He even found all of my former uncles, just to bribe me to understand your affairs. But don't worry, eldest princess, this slave is yours in life and your ghost in death, and will never betray you."

Meng Xia said righteously.

Yu Yunxi burst into laughter.

"It's not like I want you to plot against me. So what if my father wants to know more about me?" She sighed softly.

"Then do you know how my father is doing in the border town now?"

Yu Yunxi asked in a dull voice.

It is said that the border town is subject to wind and sand all year round, with water shortages and poor food supplies. The conditions are very difficult, and enemies often come to provoke them.

My father lived in such a place for more than twenty years.

Thinking of this, she felt very heavy.

"If the eldest princess wants to know about the situation of King Zhenbei, I can ask those uncles next time I write a letter."

Meng Xia responded quickly.

"Yes." Yu Yunxi was not pretentious, she nodded quickly.

It is also right for a daughter to care about her father.

"Get up. I was joking with you just now. Look, I scared you." Yu Yunxi helped Meng Xia up.

Meng Xia smiled awkwardly.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, the eldest princess did not continue to ask questions.

She was about to spill the beans just now.

"I'm sorry, eldest princess. I will never hide the rest of the matter from you. But this matter was personally 'begged' by King Zhenbei to keep it secret. I can only... keep it a secret for now."

Meng Xia murmured in her heart that her heart was really suffering.

"However, there is one thing that I don't quite understand. According to Queen Qin's and others' suspicious temperament, shouldn't they have Yue Man Tower firmly in their hands? Why are they still using the previous shopkeeper?"

This is not quite like the style of Queen Qin and Chu Yuefu.

Hearing this, Meng Xia laughed again.

She gloated and said: "They did have the plan to clean up the people in Yuemanlou. But in the second month after they drove away shopkeeper Liu and others, Yuemanlou's business plummeted, and it was almost impossible to survive. Went down. They had no choice but to invite the people back."

I see……

From this point of view, Shopkeeper Liu and those people are really capable.

My father is really discerning.

Outside.

Yu Xiaoxiao listened to everyone's discussion, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

In fact, she didn't quite understand why her parents gave Yue Manlou such a sweet pastry to the Shang family.

Although it was my mother's mother's house, it was such a loss.

Their second wife lived in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and they were almost impoverished.

If Manlou was still their property this month, their coffers would be full now.

It's true that the Shang family took advantage of everything and didn't even know how to give her something good to please her.

Forget it, let’s discuss this matter another day.

Anyway, the Shang family and Zhenbei Prince's Mansion are closely connected. It is said that this Yue Manlou belongs to the Shang family, and there is no difference between it and hers.

Yu Xiaoxiao was thinking happily here.

She didn't realize at all that she actually ruined what Chu Yuefu had painstakingly concealed for so many years.

After all, Shang and Yu Feng did not tell her about the deal with the queen in order to take her self-esteem into consideration.

He just lied to her and said that the prince really liked her, so the queen was willing to promote her as the princess and promised her the position of concubine.
