Chapter 291
The financial backer behind Taohuayuan smiled, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
"Miss Qian, I'm just stating the facts."
Qian Jin was too lazy to listen to these nonsense.
She only knew that as long as she was useful to Shen Yuze, she would definitely be able to enter the vision of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
Prince Yu's Mansion is not short of women who are like vases.
Qian Jin tied up her bag and held it in her hand, with an extremely exquisitely crafted pipa wrapped around her back, and left Taohuayuan.
The madams felt very sorry.
"Since the arrival of this Miss Qian, our Taohuayuan's business has improved a lot."
"Sir, it's a pity for you to let her go now."
"If it doesn't work, think of a way to catch her back. Anyway, the whole of Gaojing knows that she is a geisha from Taohuayuan!"
The madams were obviously obsessed with money.
They thought that as long as they could make money, everything would be fine.
After offending Shen Yuze, the courtesan Miss Qin and her mother were raped by the beggars in Gaojing.
A few days later, the two of them died of syphilis.
It was not until the behind-the-scenes financier found Qian Jin to be a geisha that the business improved.
Her enchanting beauty was secondary.
Guests would rather spend a lot of money to listen to a song she played when they came to Taohuayuan.
The madams made a lot of money from this.
They looked at the financier eagerly.
In the end, the financier still shook his head.
"As a person, you still have to have some bottom line. People spend a lot of money, and I have to keep my word."
"It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married."
"Let her go."
After this oolong incident, Shen Yuze pulled Lu Xiaobai and walked slowly towards the direction of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Lu Xiaobai felt that he seemed to have caused trouble for his brother.
He kept his head down all the way.
"Brother... I just think that flower ball is very beautiful."
Shen Yuze smiled softly and said, "I don't blame you. When I have time in the future, I will ask someone to make a few more flower balls for you."
"Brother is the best!"
Lu Xiaobai immediately smiled and took Shen Yuze's arm.
It was late, and there was no need to go to the imperial city. Lu Xiaobai had eaten and drunk enough, and went to sleep directly after returning to the deserted Prince Yu's Mansion.
There was no one in Prince Yu's Mansion.
After Shen Yuze was truly regarded as a vassal king, all the servants here were recalled to the imperial city.
Shen Yuqing planned to wait for time to let the Ministry of Works send people to select a site at the junction of Longxi Prefecture and Beiliang Prefecture to build him a most glorious vassal palace in ancient and modern times.
This Prince Yu's Mansion seemed to have no need to exist.
Shen Yuze was a little nostalgic.
When I meet my eldest brother tomorrow, I will discuss keeping the Prince Yu's Mansion, so that I can have a safe place to stay when I return to Haojing.
I really can't get used to living in those palaces in the imperial city.
The next day happened to be the day of the month when there was no court meeting.
In the morning, I took Lu Xiaobai to eat two bowls of mutton soup steamed buns near the imperial city, and Shen Yuze took her into Chengtian Gate.
The civil and military officials along the way were more or less surprised when they saw him, but now they were more respectful.
The war in Beiliangzhou would not have been as good as it is now if it was anyone else.
Those military strategists inferred before the war that Shen Yuze would suffer a crushing defeat in the early stage of the war. Although he was defeated, he could gain something from every battle, big or small, and would never suffer a crushing defeat.
However, I was still very surprised that Shen Yuze suddenly returned to Haojing.
According to the rules, without the emperor's order, the princes and generals who led troops outside were not allowed to return to the capital without permission, in order to prevent them from mutinying. However, Shen Yuze was an exception.
This had nothing to do with family affection.
He only had a 16-year-old girl with him, so how could he mutiny?
Just think of it as Shen Yuze returning to the capital to visit His Majesty and the Queen Mother.
Besides, Shen Yuze was half a sword cultivator. As long as he was energetic and had enough true energy, he could fight several round trips from Beiliang to Haojing in a day.
The officials were not surprised and did not cause any criticism.
People who could work in the imperial city were very busy. They were not like the common people who gossiped casually. At most, they would chat about one thing.
The Queen Mother in the Cining Palace was very free.
She was dressed in a simple and loose white dress, sitting on the golden chair with phoenixes, and she was still doing needlework in her hands.
Madam Du was waiting on the side.
Lu Shuhui looked up and asked, "Madame Du, how wide is Yuze's shoulder?"
"Eleven inches (37 cm)." Madame Du said.
"That needs to be changed."
Madame Du smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, you care more about His Royal Highness Prince Yu than His Majesty."
"My eldest brother is already the emperor, he has everything he wants, and he doesn't like the clothes I make."I need to wear clothes." Lu Shuhui said unhappily.
"Indeed."
A few days ago, when Madam Du went to measure the size, Shen Yuqing was still very impatient, and Lu Shuhui simply didn't bother to make it for him.
At this time, Shen Yuze's voice came from outside the Cining Palace.
"Mother, my shoulders are now twelve inches wide, and the clothes need to be made bigger."
Lu Shuhui looked up, her beautiful eyes full of surprise and surprise: "Yuze, why did you come back suddenly?"
"I have some military affairs to report to my eldest brother, I went to the Shangshufang to find him, but he was not there, so I came to see you first." Shen Yuze said.
"Mother!"
After being separated from his mother for several months, Lu Xiaobai also missed her very much, and he threw himself into her arms.
Lu Shuhui showed a touch of tenderness for the first time.
The slender jade fingers stroked Lu Xiaobai's back.
"Not bad, you are not hungry and thin with your brother! "
Shen Yuze was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and said, "This girl and Ya'er are eating secretly in the cook camp all day long. The amount of food they eat is equivalent to that of ten men. How could they be so thin from hunger!"
"As a brother, are you still worried about the food?" Lu Shuhui teased.
"You are afraid that your mother will blame you for not taking good care of Xiaobai."
"How can your mother blame you?"
Shen Yuze then asked, "Let's get back to the point. Where did our eldest son go? He is not in the study or the harem."
"How do I know where he went?"
Lu Shuhui stayed at home all day long. If Shen Yuqing did not take the initiative to look for him, she was too lazy to look for him.
At this time, Aunt Du said, "Empress Dowager, Your Highness Prince Yu, I heard that His Majesty went to Jingyue Mountain today to worship the late emperor and pray for the soldiers on the front line."
"According to the etiquette, since Your Highness Prince Yu is back, he should also show his face. "
Shen Yuze said unwillingly, "I'm too lazy to run. I'll wait for him to come back in the imperial city."
Madame Du smiled awkwardly.
Lu Shuhui also nodded.
"There's no need to go. If praying for the dead is useful, why fight a war?"
After Shen Mingxian died, Lu Shuhui never went to his grave once.
When a person dies, he's dead.
Either the soul is scattered or reincarnated, and the tomb is just a pile of bones.
Shen Yuze sat down at his mother's feet as before, leaning on the golden chair.
Lu Shuhui said, "Madame Du, you go back and rest first."
"Yes."
