In the past, almost all the goods of the Ministry of Industry were distributed all over the country through Tianxiahui's halls, and Sifanglou made a lot of money.
After wiping out the Tianxiahui, the empress thought that the products of the Ministry of Industry would be unsaleable, but she did not expect that the income of the Ministry of Accounts would actually increase.
Xu Ming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and paid homage: "Your Majesty, although the Tianxiahui is gone, the Long Gang has taken over the business, and Shi Jian from the Qianlong Hall has given a better price. In addition, Lord Shen Jin has
Business on the other side has also improved, so the impact will not be big."
"Generally speaking, because product shipping prices have increased, shipments have decreased, but revenue has increased."
Duan Shuangshuang bowed and said, "Just as Xu Shangshu said."
The ministers in the DPRK were very happy when they heard that they had made another profit.
Their salaries and bonuses all depend on the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The empress was very happy and said: "You have done a good job and should be rewarded."
Duan Shuangshuang and Xu Ming returned to the train.
The empress asked: "What else is there?"
None of the ministers in the court said anything, and all their eyes fell on Long Chen.
They came to court today just to eat melon and watch the fun.
The empress also looked at Long Chen, just looking at...
Di Luoxi was very excited at this time. She waited for the empress to speak, gave Long Chen the Deadwood Pill, and then asked Long Chen to propose marriage.
Long Chen felt uncomfortable being looked at by everyone, so he could only say: "I have nothing to report."
The empress nodded slightly: "Then withdraw from the court."
The ministers were a little disappointed. They thought they would have something to eat in court today.
Di Luoxi was also a little disappointed. Why didn't the empress give the medicine to Long Chen?
The ministers were just about to bow and leave the court, but the empress suddenly said: "Wait a minute...I forgot something."
Everyone stopped and looked at the empress again.
"I believe all of you dear friends know that Luo Xi refined the Deadwood Pill a few days ago."
The empress started talking about business, and the ministers were very happy when they saw that the melon was cut open and everyone could eat it.
The empress continued: "You dear ladies must also know what this dead wood pill is for."
The empress looked at Long Chen and said, "King Wu, you also know, right?"
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and replied: "Wei Chen knows a thing or two."
Di Luoxi's face was as red as a ripe cherry. She looked down at the corner of her skirt and did not dare to look at the empress and Long Chen.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan looked at Long Chen and then at Di Luoxi. They didn't know what they were thinking.
Xu Ming was very happy, Duan Shuangshuang was also very happy, and the ministers who were close to Long Chen were all laughing in low voices.
The empress said: "It seems that you don't understand it very well? Then I'll tell you, this dead wood pill is said to make dead trees rejuvenate. Do you know what it means?"
It would be inappropriate to pretend to be stupid anymore, so Long Chen could only say: "Wei Chen knows."
The empress nodded slightly and said: "Luo Xi, let me give you this dead wood pill, but there is a condition."
A large bead of sweat fell from Di Luoxi's forehead. She felt sweating all over her body, and waves of embarrassment made her whole body feel hot.
The ministers held their breath, waiting for the empress to announce the conditions.
Long Chen also listened to the empress' words.
The empress said: "Luo Xi's condition is... you propose marriage to me, marry Luo Xi, and become Zhou's consort."
Buzz...
The court finally exploded, and the ministers laughed out loud.
"As expected, I guessed it right, you owe me a drink."
"What a match made in heaven. The fourth princess and King Wu are a perfect match."
"I approve of this marriage."
"So what if you don't agree? Can you still object?"
"It's finally done. King Wu and the Fourth Princess should have done it a long time ago."
"Actually...hehehehe..."
"What are you hehehehehehe..."
The court was in chaos, and everyone was laughing. Only Long Chen, Di Luoxi, and Di Lingyi felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Di Lingyi was an outsider this time. Long Chen and Di Luoxi simply didn't dare to raise their heads.
Di Yu glanced at the empress, then at Long Chen and Di Luoxi, then turned around and whispered to Di Xingwan: "After all, it's still..."
Di Xingwan glanced at Long Chen with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.
The empress turned back, and Yingfeng held out a brocade box very solemnly.
"Long Chengen, I will give you the Deadwood Pill now."
The court fell silent.
Long Chen stepped forward, took the brocade box with both hands, and bowed, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The empress smiled and said, "You should thank Luo Xi."
Long Chen held the box and bowed to Di Luoxi again: "Thank you, princess."
Di Luoxi raised her head, her face already as red as drunk.
"Need not!"
Di Luoxi turned her head away from Long Chen.
She had obviously done everything before, but she was still embarrassed now. Di Luoxi didn't know why.
The empress looked at the two people and said, "I gave you the medicine, what's your attitude?"
Long Chen sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Wei Chen asks the Holy One to marry the fourth princess to Wei Chen."
Long Chen knew that he would definitely let down Di Luoxi and become a heartless person.
If this is the case, then do it more thoroughly.
I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.
How can one become emperor in troubled times if he is kind and does not command troops and is not ruthless?
The empress was very happy and announced in public: "Okay, I agree to betroth Luo Xi to you, but everything must be done according to etiquette."
"My daughter is a rich woman, and she cannot just pass by like ordinary people."
Long Chen bowed and said, "Wei ministers accept the decree."
When Di Luoxi heard this, she felt so happy that she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The ministers of the DPRK and China congratulated in unison:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Congratulations, Your Highness Princess."
"Congratulations to King Wu."
The empress was in a good mood and said, "Okay, let's retire from the court."
The empress got up happily and returned to the inner court.
The ministers in the court surrounded Long Chen and Di Luoxi and congratulated each other.
"Congratulations to King Wu, the princess finally got married to her lover."
"King Wu, I am willing to be your matchmaker."
"The first imperial grandson of the Great Zhou Dynasty is waiting for King Wu."
"Princess Wu Wang will definitely have many children and good fortune."
The minister said that Di Luoxi was so ashamed that she covered her face and got out of the crowd, and hurried back to the West Palace.
Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan shook their heads slightly and returned to the East Palace and Nangong Palace.
Emperor Lingyi naturally would not stay long and returned to Beigong.
In the end, Long Chen and the other ministers were left to muddle through for a while, and then they returned to Prince Wu's Mansion with the box in hand.
Di Luoxi returned to the West Palace and immediately took off her court clothes. Qingyue and Xuanji came over and asked, "Princess, how will the court meeting be today?"
After taking off his court clothes, Di Luoxi's bottom clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Change my clothes."
Di Luoxi kept laughing, and Xuan Yi and Qing Yue knew that the matter was done.
The two of them brought clothes and helped Di Luoxi change into them.
After changing her clothes, Di Luoxi lay on the couch and looked at the roof happily, her face flushed, and her eyes blurred as she said: "The queen gave him the medicine, and then he asked the queen to marry me, and then he thought
I’m going to ask you to marry me.”
Di Luoxi said very happily, Qingyue and Xuan Yi said happily: "That's great, princess, when will Xiao Longlong propose marriage?"
Di Luoxi smiled happily and said, "He will find someone... Who do you think he will find to propose marriage to?"
"Just now, the Minister of Rites said that he wants to be a matchmaker, but his status is not enough..."
Di Luoxi was thinking about who would be more suitable to be a matchmaker, and she was worried that the person Long Chen found was not good.
Qingyue thought for a while and said: "If we talk about high moral character and high prestige, the most suitable person in the court...Lao Zhuguo is the most suitable person."
Xuan Yi agreed: "Yes, Lao Zhuguo is the most suitable. He has a good relationship with Xiao Longlong and is highly respected."
Di Luoxi thought for a moment and said, "Well, yes, Lao Zhuguo is the most suitable."
"I'm going to remind him... No, I can't go see him now. You go, you go remind him and let Lao Zhuguo be the matchmaker."
Qingyue asked: "Princess, has the Holy One given the Deadwood Pill to Xiao Longlong?"
Di Luoxi smiled and said, "Yes, it was given to me by the court."
Qingyue said anxiously: "Oh no, princess, we are in big trouble!"
