"If you want to know, maybe you can only ask the Sheng family." Sheng Qingyuan said.

"I'll go with you." Shen Zhao said.

Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and said, "There's no rush. It's been a long time anyway. It won't be too late to discuss this matter after everything in the capital has stabilized."

Shen Zhao looked at Sheng Qingyuan with a bit of heartache in his eyes.

Sheng Qingyuan looked indifferent and said to him with a slight smile: "Actually, in my memory, I don't have a deep impression of my parents. Besides, it's enough for me now that I have you."

Even in her previous life, in her original world, she had long been accustomed to being alone.

Shen Zhao held her hand tightly: "I will always be there."

The news of Sheng Qingyuan's purchase of Qingzi Building quickly spread throughout the capital.

Everyone was very curious about how she bought the Qingzi Building, and they were also curious about what she was going to do with the Qingzi Building that she spent so much money on.

Three days later, Qingzilou closed its doors completely and Sheng Qingyuan took over.

At the same time, as Mother Cao said to Sheng Qingyuan in Qingzi Building at that time, she really introduced a team responsible for construction and renovation to Sheng Qingyuan.

Some people went to inquire out of curiosity and learned that Cao's mother even asked the foreman to give Sheng Qingyuan a more favorable price.

The previous rumor that some people suspected that Sheng Qingyuan used her status as princess to force Cao's mother to sell Qingzi Building to her became untrue because of this.

Everyone is becoming more and more curious about Prince Jing and his wife, especially Princess Jing.

After all, although King Jing had been living among the people for several years, he had grown up in the palace and was taught by the late emperor, so it was not surprising that he could quickly adapt to life in the capital again.

Everyone is very curious about how this princess from the countryside will behave.

Finally, the Prime Minister's Office first sent an invitation to Sheng Qingyuan.

The name is very common, it is a simple flower viewing feast.

"Prime Minister Cheng Yi, what kind of person is he?" Sheng Qingyuan asked Shen Zhao while holding the invitation.

Shen Zhao said: "He came to power after I left. I have not had any specific contact with him, but judging from the information found, he is barely a qualified prime minister for the people."

"It's just average, nothing particularly outstanding," Sheng Qingyuan said.

Shen Zhao nodded: "Yes, but he listens to Chu Xuanjin very much. I have looked at how he has handled many things over the years, and many of them are inseparable from Chu Xuanjin's shadow. Without Chu Xuanjin's Intervention, given his abilities, he can do better."

Sheng Qingyuan said: "I understand, to put it bluntly, he is a smooth official who wants to do something for the people, but all this must be done with the emperor's consent and satisfaction of the emperor before he is good to the people."

"Not bad." Shen Zhao nodded.

Sheng Qingyuan shook the invitation in her hand and asked, "Then do you think I should go?"

Shen Zhao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you go or not. Anyway, don't be afraid."

"In that case, let's go and have a look." Sheng Qingyuan said.

She doesn't like such occasions very much, but from the chats and attitudes of the ladies, we can to a certain extent see the stance and attitudes of the families and officials behind them.

"If someone wants to make things difficult for you, just go ahead and do it. I will take care of everything." Shen Zhao said to her.

"good."

When everyone learned that Sheng Qingyuan had agreed to attend the flower viewing banquet hosted by the Prime Minister's wife, they all arrived early, wanting to see what kind of country princess it was that could make a proud man like King Jing care so much.

"I think this princess must be very good-looking, which is why His Highness Prince Jing is so fascinated by her."

"I heard from the people nearby that Princess Jing is indeed very good-looking."

"No matter how beautiful she is, she is just a country girl. How beautiful can a girl from the countryside be? From my perspective, His Highness King Jing is probably embarrassed to bear the reputation of abandoning his wife, so he decided to register her as a princess.

.”

"Then you have picked sesame seeds and lost the watermelons. There is a commoner princess. I wonder which noble girl from aristocratic family is willing to marry Princess Jing, who is under a country girl?"

"I heard that she even opened her own shop to do business."

"Tsk, you are indeed a country girl. She doesn't know any etiquette, justice or shame. How can you, a majestic princess, show up in such a public place?"

"I make money by my own ability, and every copper is clean. I am not ashamed of myself or others. How can I become ungrateful and shameless?" While everyone was still discussing, Sheng Qingyuan's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone followed the sound and immediately fell silent. When they saw Sheng Qingyuan's appearance, they were all shocked.

I saw Sheng Qingyuan wearing a lavender floor-length plum blossom white skirt, a belt outlined with gold thread around her waist, a lifelike white jade pendant, and a colorful butterfly inserted diagonally in her high bun.

Begonia walked swaying, and there were not many embellishments on her bun.

The outfit is very simple yet very grand. The makeup with light powder is so beautiful that people can’t bear to take a breath.

It was the Prime Minister's wife who reacted first and saluted Sheng Qingyuan: "My wife has met Princess Jing."

Only then did everyone hurriedly salute Sheng Qingyuan.

Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and raised her hand: "No need to be polite."

The voice was calm, but there was no timidity at all, and it was very calm.

When the Prime Minister's wife saw Sheng Qingyuan acting so calmly and calmly, her evaluation of her immediately increased.

"Are you the Prime Minister's wife?" Sheng Qingyuan asked the Prime Minister's wife.

"As for the princess, she is my wife." The prime minister's wife replied to Sheng Qingyuan.

"I have just arrived in the capital and am not very familiar with everything in the capital. Please bear with me, Mrs. Prime Minister." Sheng Qingyuan said to the Mrs. Prime Minister with a faint smile.

The Prime Minister's wife kept saying "I don't dare".

Then, the Prime Minister's wife said: "The princess doesn't know this guy yet, so why don't I let my wife introduce him to the princess?"

"Okay, then I have to thank the Prime Minister's wife." Sheng Qingyuan agreed with a smile.

Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan could maintain such a calm attitude, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Is this really from the countryside?

If a country girl came to such an occasion for the first time, she would probably be at a loss.

Not to mention country girls, even some noble girls from aristocratic families will be somewhat nervous when they come to such a big occasion for the first time.

But this Princess Jing was very calm and calm in her movements.

"Perhaps she doesn't know our identities yet, or how many dignitaries are here today. That's what the saying goes: newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

"Let's see, once she knows that most of the family members in the court are here, will she still be so calm?"

"That must be scary, haha."

"It's best, so that we can have a good show."

In that compartment, the Prime Minister's wife was still introducing Sheng Qingyuan: "Princess, this is the wife of the Minister of Rites, Mrs. Jiang."

Mrs. Jiang gave a faint salute to Sheng Qingyuan and said, "I have met the princess."

Sheng Qingyuan had a faint smile on her face: "I heard that Mrs. Jiang was not in good health a few days ago, but is she feeling better now?"

Madam Chiang and the Prime Minister's wife were both quite surprised. Madam Chiang asked, "How did the princess know that my wife was not feeling well a few days ago?"

Because she was uncomfortable in that area, she did not alert anyone else, and the only people she knew were a few friends with whom she had great conversations.

Sheng Qingyuan smiled lightly and said: "If Mrs. Jiang still feels uncomfortable, if you don't mind, you can come to see me. I have some medical skills and maybe I can help Mrs. Jiang."

Madam Chiang looked down on this princess who came from the countryside at the beginning, but as the saying goes, you should never hit someone with a smiling face. Moreover, she actually knew about her unhappiness. This princess was not as good as she seemed.

"Thank you Princess for your kindness, but...

The princess has a distinguished status, and it is not appropriate for a minister to trouble her."

Sheng Qingyuan was not surprised to hear Mrs. Jiang's polite refusal.

The Prime Minister's wife continued to introduce to Sheng Qingyuan: "This is the wife of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Mrs. Huang."

Mrs. Huang gave a simple salute to Sheng Qingyuan, which seemed rather perfunctory.

Faced with Mrs. Huang's perfunctory treatment, Sheng Qingyuan showed no anger on her face, and still maintained a shallow smile and said, "Mrs. Huang's headache, is it still happening?"

When Mrs. Huang heard this, her expression changed and she was quite surprised.

How did she know?

Sheng Qingyuan continued: "Mrs. Huang's headache has been treated by many doctors to no avail, because Mrs. Huang's headache is not caused by internal causes of the body, but by psychological and spiritual problems. With all due respect, Mrs. Huang may be trying to relax a little.

If you have to do more things that you like to do to control your children, maybe it will be alleviated."

Mrs. Prime Minister and Mrs. Huang both looked at her in surprise.

He actually knew everything about the discord between Mrs. Huang and her children?

Although this matter is not a secret, as a princess who has just arrived in the capital and is from a rural background, do you know too much?

The Prime Minister's wife became more cautious about Sheng Qingyuan and continued to introduce her: "This is the wife of the imperial censor, Mrs. Qian."

Sheng Qingyuan looked at Mrs. Qian and said: "Mrs. Qian, there are some things and some people that should be cut off immediately. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to help them, but you will even hurt your husband."

Mrs. Qian's face suddenly turned pale when she heard this.

How did she know?

People from her parents' family kept coming to her asking for all kinds of help and money, which made her feel extremely tired and at a loss.
