The fleet went against the current. When they arrived at the capital and were about to head north, the little eunuch Luo Bin led a group of people to deliver a lot of things. He found Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and whispered to them.
"When I came, His Majesty said that you two must ensure the safety of the little prince and the little princess. His Majesty will not send anyone to get close to them for any reason, unless he uses pigeons to send a letter to you two. Therefore …"
"Therefore, anyone who tries to get close to them for any other reason is to be killed, right?" Zhang Xiaobao finished Luo Bin's words.
"Yes, it is for the two of you to consider. Yes, consider." Luo Bin nodded vigorously. He didn't feel any murderous intent from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but he knew that the two of them would never be soft-hearted when they killed people.
Seeing the people on the fleet change from the big boats to the small boats, he thought about it and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Little Gongzi, the price of the Blue Sea Silver Sand has been decreasing recently. Between the Clouds and the Water is under a lot of pressure. If it weren't for the different reputations of Savant's Restaurant and Success House, it would probably be affected as well."
"Thank you." Zhang Xiaobao took out a pearl and stuffed it into Luo Bin's hands. He said to him, "Go back and tell Adoptive Father that there is no need to worry about this. Everything is under control."
"Yes, Little Gongzi said that everything will be under control. Then, I will take my leave."
After the exchange of things, Luo Bin stood on the shore and watched the small boats leave. He let out a sigh of relief and ordered, "Come back with me. For three days, you are not allowed to contact anyone else."
The small boats headed toward Hua Yuan on the newly cleared river. The cold wind whistled along the river. Xiaobei and the others, who wanted to see the scenery, had no choice but to run into the cabin to hide after they were blown to tears. They complained to each other about who suggested the idea of seeing the scenery.
"Wu Huifei finally couldn't help but make a move. Let's see how many people want to deal with us. They all show up together so that we can deal with them."
Wang Juan climbed up to a special lookout stand on the boat. She used her binoculars to look at the surrounding terrain. She found that there was no ambush for the time being, so she climbed down and said to Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao rubbed his face that was numb from the wind and nodded. "Yes, it will come eventually. If we can't avoid it, we will face it head-on. Without competition, there will be no motivation. Let's see how Jiang Lan can develop the Blue Sea Silver Sand without losing money. Let's see how Song Jinggong will deal with it."
"Xiao Bao, Jiang Lan won't leak the secret, right? What do you think Wu Huifei will do next? I don't think it's possible for her to just use the Blue Sea Silver Sand to deal with Between the Clouds and the Water. Originally, she was going to use the Sea Between the Clouds and the Water to go against them, but in the end, the secret was exposed, and that plan was ruined. "
As Wang Juan spoke, she hugged Zhang Xiaobao and used Zhang Xiaobao to block the wind.
"The bank. She found someone to deposit so much money. Isn't it because she wants to withdraw it all at once in the most remote place of the bank? She wants to use this to attack me. Withdraw it, withdraw it. After this, the Great Tang Bank will be able to issue small amounts of large amounts of money. We must first take precautions against counterfeiting."
*****
At the foot of Yaowang Mountain, there was still a tide of people, waiting for the mountain to open. In a courtyard on the mountain, Empress Wang, who had just finished her confinement, held a wrinkled baby in each hand and fed him milk.
Seeing the two little guys open their eyes, Weiwei, Empress Wang had a happy expression on her face. For her, these two children were not just flesh and blood. They were also the guarantee of her identity and status. In the future, she would count on these two children.
"Your Majesty, why don't you find a wet nurse? After all, the little prince and the little princess are two different people." Xiao Zhu rested her chin on her hand. Seeing the two little guys drinking milk, she was also happy.
"No need, this empress will feed them myself. Ordinary people can't feed these two children because they don't eat well. On Yaowang Mountain, this empress has been eating things that are good for milk recently. This empress can't feed them for long. Once Xiao Bao and Cuckoo arrive, they will have to go with them. Sigh ~!"
Empress Wang already knew the fate of the two children and was very reluctant to part with them.
Xiao Zhu also felt sad. "Your Majesty, why don't you let Xiao Zhu go with them?"
"What's the use of you going with them? When it comes to taking care of children, there is no one in Great Tang who can do better than the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. If they are really raised in the palace, it is better to send them to Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. As long as they can be like Xiaobei, it is fine. "
Empress Wang thought of Wu Huifei's first child, Li Yi. She had taken good care of him, but he still died early. It was better to send him away.
Xiao Zhu reached out to touch the little princess's face, but was blocked by the little princess's hand. She said, "Your Majesty, the Zhang Family and the Wang Family are very capable. Shouldn't we let the little prince learn the way of the emperor?"
She said this very carefully. Her voice was so soft that it couldn't be heard from a distance.
Empress Wang's expression changed immediately. After a while, she said, "Now that the Crown Prince is here, there are other princes. My son shouldn't fight for it. A stable life is also a blessing. The way of the emperor is ruthless. Why, why?"
Empress Wang didn't doubt that the masters of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family didn't know the way of the emperor. Look at Xiao Bao's strategy, look at Cuckoo's method of control, and look at how Xiaobei and the others were liked by the emperor. If they didn't know the way of the emperor, how could they be stable? Especially Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. There were many things that they couldn't do, but they couldn't do.
Plus, with the skills that she learned last time, who would believe that the masters of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family didn't know?
Xiao Zhu felt a little regretful, but she understood that if one wanted to be a good emperor, he couldn't be a good man and a good father. Otherwise, which father would be willing to marry his daughter to someone else? In the eyes of the emperor, everyone could be used.
Princess Donghua was originally going to be married to Li Shaogu. Later, because of Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's stubbornness, she stayed. Li Shaogu didn't dare to find trouble, but he suddenly kept silent. If it weren't for the two of them, Princess Donghua would have been married.
"Your Highness, it's better to let the Zhang Family and the Wang Family decide what the little prince and princess can learn. I heard that Wu Huifei wants to make a move on Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. I don't know what happened."
"She has already made a move. The price of the Blue Sea Silver Sand at Yaowang Mountain has been decreasing. Many people who were originally going to Between the Clouds and the Water have been pulled over. It's all because of me. If Cuckoo hadn't found me back then, I might have been banished to the Cold Palace. Wu Huifei, I've learned a lot."
Empress Wang only understood what the Taoist priest wanted to do later. She had almost, almost, experienced Wu Huifei's ability. She also knew the ability of Cuckoo's side. How could they predict so accurately?
"Your Highness, won't Xiao Bao and Cuckoo be at a disadvantage?" Xiao Zhu was very worried.
