Chapter 194 He is free
The night after Mu Qingchen returned home with Mu Qinglan, Yingzhu Hehuan did not hide anything from her and told her that they were going to listen to Mu Qingchen's instructions for the last time.
That night, Qiao Shinian rode a horse and followed them to Foguang Temple.
Unlike them, she just watched them coming from a distance, just watched from a distance.
When he learned that Mu Qingchen had just become a monk, Qiao Shinian felt more hopeful.
Perhaps, after a few years, Mu Qingchen will be able to figure it out.
Perhaps, time can erase all scars.
Perhaps, when she becomes strong enough, she can take Mu Qingchen down the mountain.
Too much hope gave her many more ideas, ambitions and expectations.
·
On the third day after Mu Qinglan went to look for Qiao Shinian, the Emperor of Zhou suddenly designated Foguang Temple as the national temple. All royal children had to be careful in what they said and did when they came here, and they had to respect the monks in the temple and not offend them.
On the fourth day, the whole country knew that the virtuous king had become a monk in Foguang Temple.
For a time, the once glorious Princess Xian became the object of ridicule in the entire capital. The more praises she had received before, the more ridicule she received now.
It was a shocking thing that the virtuous king became a monk. No one could understand why the only prince of the Zhou Kingdom would become a monk at such a young age, just after getting married.
This incident caused both Duke Su and Princess Xian to be caught up in a public opinion storm, and their political opponents would not miss such an opportunity.
Qiao Shinian listed the future development of Shengping and was full of expectations for the future. She wanted to let her power influence this era, and she wanted to invade the lives of ancient people in the shortest time possible.
In Zhou State, she began to buy a large number of children who had been sold by their parents and looked for children who worked as medicine boys in pharmacies.
Her appearance undoubtedly brought hope to many children. Those who were supposed to be bought to brothels and become slaves never thought that they would be able to hold a pen and write, and have meat to eat every day.
At their most innocent age, at the age when their minds are most likely to change, Qiao Shinian conveyed to them the concept of gender equality and told them the importance of reading and literacy.
As a result, more and more people joined in, and Qiao Shinian had become a spiritual leader among these people. The children followed her to learn, and everyone had someone to teach them in the area they were good at.
Gradually, when young people who could not afford food also joined in, the team behind Qiao Shinian had more than two hundred people.
In just half a year, Qiao Shinian's teaching has begun to show results.
When she appeared in front of others again, her usual cute and gentle image was gone, and there was a fire burning in her eyes.
April is the time of spring when flowers bloom. This year, the upper class in the capital of Zhou State held a potato competition. Potatoes have been available in Zhou State for more than two years, and the annual output has reached a certain amount.
The cooking methods of potatoes have also been studied many times.
This competition is nothing more than the upper class people getting bored and wanting to create some kind of hype and make some unknown money.
Each contestant needs to pay three taels of silver. After five rounds of competition, the winner will be determined. The winner can receive ten thousand taels of silver and a prestigious "Best Chef Award". This award represents innovation and creativity. The winner of this award means that this person has a high talent for cooking ingredients.
The initiator of this overeating competition was Shengping Trading Company, and it was Qiao Shinian’s idea.
She planned to reap some of Zhou's wealth before leaving the country.
This move also brought Shengping Commercial Bank a huge wave of publicity.
When Qiao Shinian brought fifteen or sixteen people to participate, the suspense of the competition was almost zero.
This grand competition left all the contestants from Zhou country dumbfounded.
It can't be compared, it can't be compared at all.
The snack area is dominated by mashed potatoes, potato buns, French fries, and potato chips.
The main dishes of the cooking team are: hot and sour potato shreds, dry-fried potato slices, wolf tooth potatoes, tomato and potato noodles, roast chicken with potatoes, and roast goose with potatoes.
In this period when potatoes had only been around for more than two years, everyone was still struggling for food and clothing. Although the rich and powerful families had done some research on potatoes, they could not compare to Qiao Shinian, who lived in an era where potatoes had been thoroughly researched.
At the beginning of the game, Qiao Shinian's team entered the finals directly with a crushing advantage.
"Miss Qiao, my princess invites you." During the intermission, Qiao Shinian was brought to Prince Xian's mansion by a maid.
Stepping into the mansion again, Qiao Shinian's mind was filled with memories.
It was not until she entered the central hall that she came back to her senses and looked at the person sitting on the high seat.
Concubine Liu's plump figure had become thin. She looked at Qiao Shinian viciously. After seeing Qiao Shinian kneeling on the ground for a long time, she said, "Stand up."
Qiao Shinian stood up, lowered his head, and glanced at the furnishings in the room with the corner of his eyes. It was the same as before, nothing had changed.
"I wonder what instructions the Imperial Concubine has for me." Qiao Shinian hated the two people in the room. If possible, she would let them also taste the feeling of being disgustingly plotted against.
Mu Qinglan stood up and stood in front of Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu's voice was filled with reluctance and compromise: "You won, let Qingchen come back, you will be his principal wife, and Qinglan is willing to be a concubine."
"You are joking, madam!" Qiao Shinian raised her head and looked at Concubine Liu, "Are you now Mu Qingchen's sister-in-law or her mother?"
"You treat me like a puppet! Whatever you say will happen. Since you have such great abilities, why don't you go to heaven and become an immortal? It's really unfair for you to be a mortal on earth."
When Qiao Shinian heard Concubine Liu say "You won" so casually, she was already furious. After hearing what Concubine Liu said next, she could no longer bear it.
The fact that Mu Qingchen had separated from her had become the most untouchable volcano in her heart. Once someone mentioned it, the dormant volcano would awaken. However, when she saw these two people, anger still rose in Qiao Shinian's heart.
They don't treat Mu Qingchen as a human being. They only care about their own feelings and have never paid attention to what Mu Qingchen wants or what Mu Qingchen needs.
It's all what they thought.
Did they think they were compromising? No, they just took a half step back after crossing the baseline several hundred meters.
"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that! Don't you want to live?" Concubine Liu slammed the table and pointed at Qiao Shinian angrily.
Seeing her angry look, Qiao Shinian just sneered: "Haha, you are just a concubine, how much respect should I have for you? You are not an emperor, and you are not a queen... Oh, I remember, you eloped with your lover, so you abandoned Mu Qingchen. How come? Your lover didn't even let you be the queen~
Tsk tsk, what a failed love! I thought your love could be so great that it could move heaven and earth!
The reason you have come back to find Mu Qingchen now is simply because you need the son you abandoned to continue to support you and pay for your wealthy life.
As for killing me, go ahead and kill me, I'll just die. I bet you can't kill me now, the guards he left for me are very powerful, they won't let me die here.
Well, you can't kill me now, but before I die I will destroy your foundation as a concubine, and I will make you live in a painful hell after I die."
"you!"
Concubine Liu couldn't help feeling scared when she saw Qiao Shinian's expression.
She didn't know why, but there had never been any awe in Qiao Shinian's eyes towards anyone. She looked at everyone equally, everyone!
She is a noble concubine who is high above everyone else! She is a royal concubine that ordinary people can only look up to!
Qiao Shinian took two steps forward and straightened the wrinkles on the imperial concubine's clothes when she stood up in anger: "I hate you guys, so can you please not appear in front of me?
Finally, I only have one thing to say to you. Mu Qingchen is free now. If any of you dare to disturb him, I will destroy you in ways you can't imagine, and make you live in fear, despair and regret for the rest of your lives.
Don't question my ability. I can do a lot. Destroying you is as easy as pushing a pile of blocks. As long as I move my hands a little, you will know what a desperate and destructive blow is. "
After finishing speaking, Qiao Shinian took two steps back and returned to the state she was in when she first entered the room: "Since the Imperial Concubine and the Princess have no instructions for me, I will take my leave first."
