More Than 100 Memorials

Zhou Wanwan looked at the old woman on the ground and said, "Her? She's Noble Consort Ning's person, placed by your side."

The Crown Princess's face turned pale. "She's served me since she was a child!"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"Wealth is a powerful motivator! This old woman's son was very ill, but Noble Consort Ning cured him. She has been working for Noble Consort Ning all along."

Noble Consort Ning didn't just plant these people around you; many ministers' families also had Noble Consort Ning's subordinates to varying degrees.

What does Noble Consort Ning need so much money for?

Most of them do it to win people's hearts and solidify their own position.

The Crown Princess's face turned pale. Zhou Wanwan said, "For now, there's no need to alert them. You just need to observe the situation."

"But they want you to be their concubine, what will you do?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said:

"Becoming a concubine? I'm afraid they won't have the time for that soon."

Several neighboring countries have already begun to stir, and soon many people will be going to the battlefield.

Our court currently has no suitable candidates, so we have no choice but to send members of the Xie Family to the battlefield.

"If the Xie Family family is defeated on the battlefield, the Xie Family is finished."

Noble Consort Ning's maternal family is the Xie Family. Once the Xie Family is destroyed, it will be very difficult for Noble Consort Ning to rise again.

However, the Crown Princess shook her head and said:

"I don't think things are that simple. Noble Consort Ning won't let anything happen to the Xie Family."

Over the years, all her money has been invested in the Xie Family, and the Xie Family even has its own private bathroom.

Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Oh? Is that so? These things are all controllable."

The Crown Princess understood. She knelt on the ground and solemnly said, "I, Bai Yue, hereby swear that from this day forward I will only be loyal to Zhou Wanwan and will never betray her. If I disobey, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death."

Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said:

"Don't make oaths so easily. It's more useful for us to sign a contract. The Bai Family is quite good; they can be considered a top-tier family."

As long as I, Zhou Wanwan, am alive, I will never mistreat the Bai Family.

"But can you make the Bai Family listen to me?"

Bai Yue nodded and said, "Actually, I am the one in charge of the Bai Family."

She pulled out a white token and said, "Look at this. This is a token of the Bai Family. With this token, everyone must serve me."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect the Bai Family to be so open-minded!"

The Crown Princess nodded and said:

"Yes, my grandfather was very open-minded. From a young age, I was different from ordinary people. I was even a hundred or a thousand times more outstanding than those men."

When I was 10 years old, my grandfather had already begun to gradually pass on the affairs of the Bai Family to me.

Many people in my family disagreed, but I truly made the Bai Family better off.

The imperial court is now in dire straits, but the Bai Family remains steadfast in its power.

The Crown Princess also played a role in this.

Who says women are inferior to men?

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "Alright, you don't need to do anything. Someone will take care of things gradually."

The Crown Princess nodded. Zhou Wanwan walked to the Crown Prince's residence next door and overheard the Crown Prince discussing the matter of taking a concubine with his advisors.

The advisor frowned and said, "I really didn't expect Noble Consort Ning to let you marry a six-year-old girl. What use is a six-year-old girl?"

The Crown Prince said calmly, "My mother would never harm me. This child is indeed quite capable; she owns many shops in the capital."

The advisor sneered, "A merchant's daughter? How could she be worthy of being your concubine? A family like that wouldn't even be fit to carry shoes for the Crown Prince's residence."

The Crown Prince frowned and said:

"It's really too bad, but I can only make do with it. One more child means one more mouth to feed."

But all the good things she had were genuine.

I heard that the betrothal gifts she prepared for her brothers were very expensive.

This means she has more good stuff on her hands.

The staff members fell silent; after all, he was just a child.

Zhou Wanwan returned to the Cold Palace, which was no longer cold; the charcoal fire inside was even more abundant than in the palace.

They grow vegetables during the day and play mahjong at night; it's like living the life of a god.

Seeing Zhou Wanwan approach, they quickly waved and said, "Wanwan, come here and let me see your cards!"

"Ouch! I won this time, hahaha!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said, "You guys continue playing, I came over to check on you, I won't disturb you anymore."

She walked to the hot spring and began to soak. The Scholar Tree said, "Wanwan, the urgent message should have arrived by now."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "The chaos will begin tomorrow."

Uncle Scholar Tree said softly, "News has also come from Dongshan Prefecture. In the dead of winter, heavy snow has blocked the mountains and roads, so there's a fear of another snow disaster."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "Snow disaster?"

"Yes, many farmers are afraid they'll suffer another disaster."

Zhou Wanwan said, "The geographical location of Dongshan Prefecture is really terrible. Locust plagues, droughts, snow disasters, one after another, it's really too difficult."

Uncle Scholar Tree nodded and said, "How about we move our headquarters to the vicinity of Bianjing?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"I actually think Dongshan Prefecture is quite good. Although the climate is a bit harsh, we have a strong foothold there."

Moving here to Bianjing hastily might not be a good thing. If we come to Bianjing, Noble Consort Ning will likely make another move."

Noble Consort Ning is now insanely jealous. She doesn't know how much Zhou Wanwan earns in a year, but she's already envious of just a few shops.

Moreover, anything produced by Zhou Wanwan is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Just look at the face masks, face creams, lipsticks, rouge, perfumes, soaps, shampoos, and shower gels in Zhou Wanwan's pharmacy...

They also released a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes; the bristles are very soft. Now, who in Beijing, no important person, isn't using them?

Zhou Wanwan climbed out of the hot spring and said, "Uncle Scholar Tree, have our people help with disaster relief in Dongshan Prefecture. Help out if anyone needs it."

Uncle Scholar Tree responded.

Zhou Wanwan returned to her study, which was even more magnificent than the Imperial Kitchen.

The floor was covered with Persia carpets, making the room very warm and cozy as soon as you entered.

She sat at her desk, picked up her brush, and began to review the memorials.

All these memorials were submitted by her subordinates; now her small court is no less powerful than this large court.

He even handled more affairs than the entire imperial court.

Because it's not just about dealing with things presented by people, but also with all sorts of things presented by trees.

Looking at the memorials, Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Over 100 memorials have been submitted today. When will I ever finish processing mine?"

She didn't want to do it anymore.

Uncle Scholar Tree's lips twitched as he said:

"Those old relics are already on their way and will arrive in the capital in the next couple of days."

They've been waiting for this for so long, just afraid you'd slack off in the capital.

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched as she said, "I thank them."

The antiques in Zhou Wanwan 'Zhou Wanwan possession are no ordinary items; they are all part of her scheme to seize the throne.

What exactly are they planning to do in Beijing?
