After Qiao Jinniang took her seat, she whispered in Lu Chen's ear: "After all, she can be considered your sister-in-law, or the princess of the princess. It's not appropriate for her to kneel down to me, right?"

Lu Chen said: "You are a princess, even if she is a sister-in-law, there is nothing inappropriate for her to kneel down on you."

Li Lingling's expression was extremely embarrassing, she never thought that His Majesty would be so embarrassing, and issued two imperial edicts in succession.

If Emperor Liang's imperial edict had not been issued, she would not have come to Qiao's residence to mock Qiao Jinniang.

At this moment, Li Lingling could only kneel down in front of Qiao Jinniang, bow her head and kowtow, "The concubine pays homage to the crown prince, the crown princess."

It took a long time for Li Lingling to hear Qiao Jinniang say, "No."

Li Lingling breathed a bad breath and almost suffocated herself to death.

She knocked on the capital, and Qiao Jinniang said a word in a hypocritical way!

When Li Lingling got up, she looked at Qiao Jinniang as if there were countless sharp knives in her eyes.

But Qiao Jinniang didn't care at all.

After Li Lingling, several other princesses also came to salute one after another.

Qiao Jinniang didn't have any grudges against them, and had some unpleasantness with Princess Qi, but Princess Qi also came to apologize after that.

Qiao Jinniang said "free" before they kowtowed.

Qiao Jinniang, Fulu and others also directly exempted them from the ceremony.

Mrs. Qin held her breath. At her age, it would be too aggrieved to kneel down and salute Qiao Jinniang.

When Mrs. Qin stepped forward to salute, her entire body was directed towards Lu Chen.

Qiao Jinniang took the tea from the maid and said slowly, "Old Madam Qin, I don't know where I am?"

Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth. After all, she was an elder. Even the queen would look at the face of the Qin family and wouldn't let her kowtow. How dare Qiao Jinniang?

Mrs. Qin pulled Qiao Ruoyun and asked Qiao Ruoyun to speak for Mrs. Qin.

Qiao Ruoyun understood Mrs. Qin's meaning, and just when she wanted to help...

Touching Qiao Jinniang's eyes, Qiao Ruoyun simply lowered her head, pretending that she was stupid and ignorant.

Mrs. Qin had no choice but to kowtow to Qiao Jinniang:

"The minister's wife pays homage to the crown prince, the crown princess."

It's been a long time since Qiao Jinniang asked her to get up. Mrs. Qin's knee hurts badly, and her heart is even more aggrieved!

Qiao Jinniang put the teacup aside and said, "Old Madam Qin is a first-rank lady bestowed by the emperor, and also an elder, so I, a junior, shouldn't say anything.

But this lady is also Datang's wife after all.

Mrs. Qin resisted this imperial order, but she acted like a gossip that the folks and the countryside are not ashamed of.

The smoky atmosphere in the house was disturbed, and Chong Tongfang almost killed the granddaughter-in-law who was married by the matchmaker.

Your Highness, the evidence for this matter is conclusive, and there are all witnesses and material evidence. In the past, the elders who were relatives didn't care.

But Mrs. Qin insulted my mother and me again and again, so I can't ignore it. "

Lu Chen said: "If this matter is serious, after I return to the palace alone, I will respect my father and deprive Mrs. Qin of her title."

Mrs. Qin closed her eyes and almost fainted. Everyone in the Qin family knelt down and begged for mercy.

Du Qin Miaomiao said: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is Shengming."

Qiao Jinniang exempted almost everyone from the Qin family from saluting without kowtowing.

Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Wuer mixed in, thinking that they could avoid saluting.

But after they knelt down and saluted, they didn't hear Qiao Jinniang say a word for a long time.

Qiao Jinniang rubbed her temples, "Your Highness, Miss Zhong is so bold that she just kept saying that you are humble!"

Zhong Wuer saw His Highness the Crown Prince for the first time, during the palace banquet, she was far away and could not see His Highness's face at all.

Looking at it now, the whole person's mind is on His Highness.

She had never seen a man with such a face, and seeing him protecting Qiao Jinniang so much, her heart ached.

Now hearing Qiao Jinniang say that she is humble, Lian Chuchu raised her head pitifully, looked at the prince and said:

"Your Highness, my servant has never said that you are humble!"

Qiao Jinniang said: "You say merchants are humble, but Your Highness has also been a merchant for three years."

Zhong Wuer repeatedly said: "Your Highness, don't listen to Qiao Jinniang's nonsense!"

Lu Chen said coldly: "You can also call the Crown Princess's name directly? Inspector Zhong's assessment has been the lowest for three years. If a daughter is brought up like this, I'm afraid the governor will not be able to do well.

There are many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. As a parent official, but he thinks they are humble, there is no need to do this governor again! "

Mrs. Zhong collapsed on the ground. She really regretted it again and again. She obviously wanted to please Qiao Jinniang. How could it become like this?

Qiu Su repeatedly kowtowed to Qiao Jinniang and said, "Jinniang, in view of our ten-year classmate friendship, please help us beg for mercy!"

Seeing Qiu Su like this, Qiao Jinniang was very unhappy, and said, "Qiu Su, now that the weather is going well among the people and the people's lives are getting better and better, merchants are extremely important.

A businessman who pays taxes and has never violated the law or discipline should not be despicable.

Without punishing the Zhong Mansion, it would be difficult to give an explanation to the merchants all over the world. "

In the previous dynasty, aristocratic families looked down on merchants who were as rich as they were.

And in troubled times, if everyone is in business and no one is farming, it will not work.

That's why there is the saying of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants as cheap industries.

But from the beginning of the first emperor, he encouraged the people to do business to mobilize the circulation of money in the world.

Although among some high-ranking officials and nobles, merchants are still low-level, but their status is much higher than in the previous dynasty.

The imperial court needs merchants to increase taxes and mobilize consumption among the common people.

Qiao Jinniang understood this truth when she was young, so she never felt that doing business was despicable.

Zhong Cishi is a parent official, and his daughter-in-law hates merchants so much, she is not wronged at all to be demoted.

Seeing that Qiao Jinniang was so cruel, Qiu Su said chillingly:

"Your Highness, do you know why none of Qiao Jinniang's classmates attended your wedding banquet?

Because when Qiao Jinniang was in the academy, she seduced the son of the former prefect of Lin'an.

The son of the prefect of Lin'an has always wanted to take Qiao Jinniang as his concubine!

We classmates were afraid of offending the magistrate's son, so we didn't dare to go to her wedding banquet, which was why she blamed us. "

When everyone heard the words, there was an uproar, and they couldn't help sighing that Qiu Su was really brave.

Lu Chen said coldly: "If Qiao Jinniang really seduced the magistrate's son, then why did she recruit a son-in-law for the restaurant?

If she became the concubine of the magistrate's son, those Qiao family members would dare to occupy Baiweilou?

It's true that you are afraid of offending the magistrate's son, but Jinniang has absolutely nothing to seduce. You will be punished for slandering the Crown Princess.

Someone, turn her over to the Governor of Chang'an! "

Qiao Jinniang looked at Qiu Su and said, "Susu, you keep saying that you have been classmates for ten years, ten years, how can I feel sorry for you?

Let you do the same to me even if you ruin yourself! "

Qiu Su stood up and shouted wildly: "Qiao Jinniang, do you know what I hate about you the most?

It was you who told me that merchants are not humble!

But when I returned home after I left the school, when I attended the banquet, everyone, including my parents, looked down on me as a merchant woman!

Why, you were clearly inferior to me in family background, but you still dress better than me every day!

Why are you the most mischievous in the college, but you are also the favorite in the eyes of Mr.!

At that time, when I heard the magistrate's son said that he wanted to marry you, you know how jealous I was!

The position of daughter-in-law of the official family that I have worked so hard to fail to obtain, but you still go so far as to dislike the many concubines in his family!

Later, I tried my best to marry a flirtatious assassin, just to get rid of the reputation of a merchant girl.

But if you don't do anything, you become a daughter of the Hou family, but you still continue to do business, and you can still become a princess. Why, your life is so good! "
