At that time, Li Yunqing was training at the school. When he heard about this incident, he had no reaction at all. He only asked his servants to send a box of pearl hairpins to the princess, which was obviously a reward.
A Shence Army wearing black armor hurriedly entered the tent holding a sword on his waist and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, there is a commotion in the southeast corner of Beidi City Defense."
"Why?"
"The soldiers in the southeast corner were originally under the command of Captain Hua. He..."
The Shence Army did not dare to go further because this matter involved the princess's invasion of Huadu Wei Mansion.
Because Prince Li's Mansion had disgraced Huadu Wei's Mansion, Huadu Wei's generals were a little unconvinced and no longer wanted to guard the southeast corner of the North City.
This move was also to show King Xiao Li's face that he, the Lord of the North, would dare to offend their veteran general who had been in the North City for more than ten years.
Li Yunqing, who was sitting behind the case, curved the corners of his mouth in a cold arc.
"It's a good time. I am worried about how to find an excuse to take back the city defense."
He got up, dressed in fine clothes, and ordered to go down,
"Follow me to take over the defense of the southeast corner of the city. If there is any resistance, I will kill you immediately."
"yes!"
A group of Shence soldiers, riding fast horses and carrying weapons, lined up from the school grounds, their faces flashing with excitement, and they rushed towards the southeast corner with great vigor.
The full moon was high in the sky, and the sound of the killings lasted less than midnight. When Hua Jin got up the next day, she had already received the news: Hua Duwei failed to protect the city and allowed his subordinates to relax in the important task of city defense. The Shence Army took over the defense of the southeast corner of the city.
.
As soon as the news came out, there was no explosion in Beidi City. Hua Jin didn't know. She was only dazzled by the box of jewelry that the little girl held in front of her.
"No wonder you didn't come back last night to fight for my bed. It turned out that you were going to fight for territory."
Hua Jin randomly picked a red agate beaded hairpin in the box, inserted it into her hair, looked at the bronze mirror, stood up with satisfaction, and said to the little girl:
"Come on, let's go take a look at the shop."
Yesterday, she had asked people to move all the rare flowers and trees in the garden to the shop, and today she wanted to see how the shop was doing.
As soon as he went out, he saw Wu Tian standing in the yard, bending down to report.
"Princess, the flower lady of the Hua Mansion is here, saying that she is looking for her daughter."
"Say there is no such person."
Hua Jin was still dressed in men's clothing, flicked the folding fan in her hand, led Wu Dalang, Dabao, and the newly admitted Su Niang's daughter Xiaoyue, and the three of them, along with two secret guards, slipped out of the back door of the palace.
As soon as he entered the shop, the former boss, now the current manager of the flower and tree shop, immediately came out and welcomed Hua Jin inside.
People in ancient times loved to plant flowers and trees. Now that she has awakened the power of water and wood, cultivating rare flowers and trees is not a problem.
Hua Jin originally just wanted to give it a try and didn't know if these rare flowers and trees would sell well. If not, she planned to change her career next month and open a restaurant, a B&B, etc., whichever way she could make money.
As a result, Hua Jin sat in the shop, listening to the manager reporting yesterday's income, and asked in surprise:
"Almost all have been sold? Why are they sold so fast?"
"What we sell in our shop are all rare flowers and trees, and the prices are moderate. Rich and knowledgeable families almost broke their heads."
The steward bent over and looked at the princess in men's clothing in front of him, holding up his hands with a smile on his face.
"Young master is very discerning. He made back all the money he spent on buying the shop yesterday."
He knew that the person sitting in front of him was Princess Xiao Li, but because Hua Jin was traveling incognito and did not want to reveal her identity, the steward followed Wu Dalang and other children and called Hua Jin "Young Master".
Hua Jin flipped through the account book in her hand and thought,
"There are dozens of goddess magnolias cultivated in the garden of our palace. You can go to the palace soon and move them over and sell them... Tsk, look at the number of refugees in this northern city.
, there are still wealthy people who spend a lot of money to buy a few pots of food but not clothes or flowers and trees."
Hua Jin said she couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop her from making money from these rich people.
The steward nodded and bowed in response. The shop made money and he received a lot of dividends, so he naturally did his best to serve the princess.
At that moment, there was a sudden noise outside the shop.
"I'm here to see my daughter. Her name is Hua Jin. Someone saw her coming in. What's wrong? I'm her mother-in-law, so I can't even see her?"
The person who came was Lady Hua. She had already sent people to guard the front and back doors of Prince Li's Mansion. As soon as Hua Jin came out of the back door of Prince Li's Mansion, Lady Hua received the news and followed Hua Jin to the Huamu Shop.
Hua Jin, who was sitting in the inner room, looked helpless and asked someone to take Hua Niangzi to the inner room. She should not make any noise in the shop and affect the business.
Hua Niangzi is like a flower fairy. She was once rich. She was dressed in red and green, and her hair was full of pearls. She looked even richer than Princess Hua Jin.
As soon as Lady Hua turned around the bead curtain and looked towards Hua Jin, her eyes turned red. With this look, she really looked like a good mother who loves her children.
Hua Jin was sarcastic in her heart, sitting crookedly in a grand master's chair, resting her elbows on the armrests, her expression half-smiling but not smiling.
"Flower lady, we meet again."
It's not "again", I just met him through the curtain in the palace not long ago.
Hua Niangzi walked over, the sadness on her face faded a little, and sat next to Hua Jin. She reached out to hold Hua Jin's hand, her eyes were looking forward to it.
"Jin'er, don't you even want to call me 'Mother' now?"
Hua Jin stood up in the Grand Master's chair and avoided Hua Niangzi's hand. There was an obvious coldness in her eyes. She stood by the window, looked at the flowers and trees stored in the backyard of the shop, and said coldly:
"Didn't Lady Hua say that your Hua family has long considered me dead? Why bother? I'm nothing more than a disgraced person."
When Lady Hua was in the palace that day, she personally told Hua Jin. She was still in the hall of the palace, in front of Hua Xian'er and all the servants of the palace, and she said it so resolutely.
Now, he comes to Hua Jin again, acting like a loving mother, why bother?
"Jin'er, what are you talking about? What I said that day was just to deal with that little Princess Li. I can't take it seriously."
Seeing Hua Jin's current attitude, Lady Hua knew that what she said in Prince Li's Mansion that day might not be heard by Hua Jin.
This also explains why Hua Jin returned to Beidicheng but avoided going to Hua Mansion.
She thought she was hurt by Hua Niangzi's words.
But it doesn't matter, Hua Niang knows her daughter well, and Hua Jin's ears have always been very soft. As long as Hua Niang says a few nice words, this daughter will be as filial and sensible as before.
Thinking like this, Hua Niangzi had a confident and gentle smile on her face. She walked up to Hua Jin and looked at Hua Jin lovingly.
"You are angry with me, and I don't blame you. Now you are hooking up with Prince Li's house. This is also your ability, Jin'er, but you and your sister are in such trouble? This is your fault."
"You pack up today and come back to the Hua Mansion with me. I will apologize to your sister and serve your father a cup of tea to calm him down. From now on, you will be the eldest lady of the Hua Du Wei Mansion.
....."
Before Hua Niangzi finished speaking, Hua Jin turned around and faced Hua Niang directly, the mockery in her eyes was obvious,
"You keep calling yourself 'grandma' and you keep saying that I'm sorry for Hua Xian'er and you want me to apologize to her? Am I mentally ill? Apologize to someone who pushed me in front of the bandits?"
Taking another step forward, Hua Jin's aura was overwhelming, his red and phoenix eyes were fixed on Lady Hua,
"How can there be such a good thing in this world? You have done evil and want to write it off. If it is useless, you will dishonor your family and become a dead person. If you want to get it back if it is useful, it is also a joke."
