The emperor was here, so naturally he could not be kept waiting for long. After the imperial guards stood five meters apart and tightly surrounded the Tongxin Lake, businessmen from all over the place appeared one after another and walked to the attic in the center of the lake.
Almost all of the businessmen who were able to attend this time were among the top ten in their respective provinces. Although they were not well-known in the capital, the emperor and others did not underestimate them.
"Sure enough, most of the people in charge are old people."
Seeing that most of the businessmen were over fifty years old, and some were even wearing crutches, Xiahou Huanyan smiled as expected.
Shi Fuxin replied: "That's because the young ones are still behind."
Xiahou Huanyan looked over: "Even if there are young people, there are not many. Wealth needs to be accumulated, and doing business requires connections. These two things, how can young people compare with old people."
Shi Fuxin said with a smile: "Shopping malls are like battlefields. Young people are more aggressive and enterprising, while most old people are conservative, so they can still compete."
Xiahou Huanyan also smiled when she thought that Shi Fuxin had opened hundreds of Hongyanxiao shops in just a few years: "You are right."
"What are Mrs. Yao San and Prince Gong and Princess Gong laughing at?"
A sudden inquiry sounded, and Shi Fuxin and Xia Hou looked over happily.
The person asking the question is the Crown Princess!
Xiahou Huanyan knew that Shi Fuxin and Dong Gong were not dealing with each other, so she quickly took the initiative to reply: "Back to the princess, we were saying that the weather today is really nice, neither cold nor hot, and it is the best time to get together and talk and laugh."<
/p>
The Crown Princess glanced at Xia Hou Huanyan and Shi Fuxin, smiled and nodded: "Yes, today is indeed a good weather." After saying that, she no longer paid attention to the two of them, but looked at Princess Chengyang sitting aside. p>
"Aunt Chengyang, I heard that your family is about to have a baby?"
Hearing this, Princess Chengyang immediately showed a joyful smile: "Yes, my Mingyu's son will be born this month, and I will have a grandson."
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "Congratulations to my aunt. When the child is born, the Crown Prince will definitely send you a congratulatory gift." She paused, glanced at Shi Fuxin, and continued, "Speaking of which, my aunt has good taste and chose such a child.
Good daughter-in-law."
Thinking that the Jin family had already taken refuge with the fourth prince, Princess Chengyang's smile became a little forced.
Seeing that Princess Chengyang didn't answer, the Crown Princess was a little surprised and continued: "The young Marquis is lucky enough to marry a virtuous wife. If he marries the wrong person, it will bring trouble to the family."
The female family members present all knew about Fan Mingyu and Shi Fuxin. The princess's words were equivalent to directly saying that Shi Fuxin was not virtuous and would bring trouble to the family. They all turned to look at Shi Fuxin, wanting to see her.
reaction.
It's a pity that Shi Fuxin's eyes were always on the lake and she didn't even look at them.
Princess Chengyang didn't like that the Crown Princess used her as a cocoon to attack Shi Fuxin. It was rare that she didn't humiliate Shi Fuxin as she said. She just said lightly: "My son is certainly blessed."
Seeing that Princess Chengyang didn't answer, the Crown Princess looked at Princess Qingyang again: "Aunt Qingyang, the Imperial Grandmother always praises you in front of me, saying that you are the best at teaching children, otherwise cousin Ming wouldn't do it.
You brought home such a good daughter-in-law."
Princess Qingyang was born as a palace concubine. Because she was favored by the late emperor, the current empress dowager and former empress often made things difficult for her, and she often fought back. Under such circumstances, it is strange that the empress dowager would praise her.
I knew that the Crown Princess was going around the corner to humiliate Shi Fuxin. She didn’t like Shi Fuxin as her daughter-in-law, but she had no grudge against Shi Fuxin. Even Princess Chengyang didn’t answer her words, let alone her. p>
"The Crown Princess is overrated. When it comes to teaching people, who can be better than the Queen Mother? The Queen, the Crown Prince is the most filial."
The Crown Princess was a little angry when she saw that Princess Qingyang and Princess Chengyang did not answer her words. Originally, when she was humiliated, Fuxin was just to complete the task assigned to her by the Queen, but now, seeing the strange looks cast by the female relatives, the Crown Princess felt
Losing face, I can only point the contradiction at Shi Fuxin.
"Mrs. Yaosan, do you think this Crown Princess is right?"
Shi Fuxin glanced at the Crown Princess and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said."
This attitude made the Crown Princess even more angry, and she snorted coldly: "She is the wife of Commander Yao after all. Commander Yao perfunctory the Prince, the Prince hurt his leg, and he closed the case by accident. And you, here you are confronting this Prince
No disrespect, you two are truly a match made in heaven."
"Oh, by the way, I have forgotten that Mrs. Yao San's boldness is not even looked down upon by the Queen Mother. I have humiliated myself today."
Shi Fuxin looked at the Crown Princess: "Princess, I am me, and my husband is my husband. If you want to trouble me, ask him to do anything, what I want to say or do, it has nothing to do with him."
The Crown Princess sneered: "Mrs. Yao San is quite protective of Yao's command."
Shi Fuxin's expression was indifferent: "My husband-in-law does not need me to protect him. Whoever offends him will take revenge and go back. There is no need for my words to help. But you, Crown Princess, I really want to give you a few words of advice."<
/p>
"Princess, if you want to be respected by others, you must first have a character that is respected by others. Don't you know that your vision does not match your status?"
As soon as these words came out, the female relatives present were dumbfounded and shocked again.
Sure enough, she is still the sixth girl of the Shi family who dares to say anything. It seems that after marrying into the prince's palace, her life is not as difficult as they imagined. Look, her edges are as sharp as ever.
She is probably the only one who dares to say that the Crown Princess is unworthy of her position in public.
The princess was also shocked. She was stunned for a moment and then became furious.
However, before she could get angry, Shi Fuxin spoke again: "It's so easy to gossip and gossip. That's the battlefield for bored women. You should pay more attention to the selection of imperial merchants. You are really fighting here.
Bringing humiliation to oneself."
Seeing the Crown Princess's chest heaving with anger, Xiahou Huanyan had a headache.
The female members of the Shi family were far away and could not come to stop Sister Xin. However, the female members of Prince Rong's palace were sitting still like spectators. She had no choice but to step forward.
Xiahou Huanyan quickly pulled Shi Fuxin and indicated with her eyes that it was time to stop.
Shi Fuxin was very proud of Xia Houhuan and did not continue, but turned to look at the center of the lake.
Naturally, the Crown Princess would not let Shi Fuxin go like this. Just when she was about to speak, she was held back by Zhuo Yimian who was standing behind her.
"Princess, you can't defeat Mrs. Yao San."
Zhuo Yimian meant well, but her words irritated the Crown Princess.
"Presumptuous!"
The Crown Princess was a little jealous because the Prince often visited Zhuo Yimian's house. Now when she heard her say that she was not as good as Shi Fuxin, she got angry and slapped Zhuo Yimian.
Zhuo Yimian had no idea that the Crown Princess would take action on her own in front of so many people. Under the impact of her palm, she jumped forward and fell directly onto the table next to her.
"Wow~"
The tea and snacks on the table suddenly fell to the floor.
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned towards me.
The princess woke up and immediately wanted Zhuo Yimian to step down.
This time, Zhuo Yimian came to watch the Huangshang election campaign. It was Zhuo Yimian who finally asked the prince to come. Of course, she didn't want to be driven away like this. She quickly knelt down and apologized to the prince: "Princess, please forgive me. I accidentally sprained my foot.
I have disturbed all the ladies, and please forgive me."
The Crown Princess felt that she had been humiliated today. Even if Zhuo Yimian took the initiative to whitewash the situation, she did not want to see her anymore. She was just about to ask Zhuo Yimian to leave, when a female family member let out an exclamation.
"The heads of the top ten imperial merchants have appeared."
"Oh my god, there is such a young head of the family."
The attention of the female relatives was drawn away.
Shi Fuxin glanced at Zhuo Yimian, who was kneeling to collect the tea that had fallen on the ground, and silently withdrew her gaze.
