The cook wiped off his sweat and nodded to Wu Song, saying, ”Alright, young master. The whole of Fengyang City is in an uproar now. This morning, these grain merchants had all gone crazy. Their prices had all risen, and now they were selling the grains at two catties each! What should he do? Furthermore, they are no longer selling food to our residence! ”

Wu Song frowned when he heard this. He then relaxed and said, ”It's alright. Let them cause trouble.” ”We will endure in our residence for a few days. In these few days, we'll all eat sparingly. After a few days, we won't need to worry about them making a ruckus.”

After pacifying the chef, Wu Song looked at the sun and realized that it was about time. He then left the study to make arrangements.

This morning, after Luo Lingwei woke up from her inn, she heard a report from Zhang Long saying that Fengyang's grain merchant had once again raised the price of food. He sneered in his heart and thought to himself, ”I'll let them roam about for a few more days.”

Luo Lingwei then asked about Wu Song and found out that this kid was indeed following her instructions. She couldn't help but feel admiration for him.

”Empress, this lowly one has something that he doesn't know whether he should say or not.” Zhang Long hesitated, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Luo Lingwei rolled her eyes at him and said, ”If you think it's inappropriate, then don't say it. ”You are also an old man from the Palace of the King. You know that I hate people like you to stutter when you speak.”

”Yes, yes, yes. The Empress's teachings are correct.” Hearing that, Zhang Long couldn't help but nod and say, ”This lowly one is just curious, why does the Empress place so much importance on Wu Song? Aren't you afraid that the Prince will misunderstand? ”

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei burst into laughter. She rolled her eyes at Zhang Long and said, ”You, you really are a blockhead.” As he spoke, he took another glance at Little Qing. Xiaoqing saw Luo Lingwei glance at her and felt somewhat lost. Luo Lingwei thought to herself, ”Eh, this is another piece of wood.”

”How could you understand the relationship between me and the prince?” As Luo Lingwei spoke, she could not help but think of Ye Lianhe's handsome and enchanting face. In that instant, her face turned red.

”I only helped this kid because he can be considered to be plastic. This child's family has served the imperial government for many generations and is rather popular in the imperial court. Furthermore, his heart is with the common people. If he could be promoted, it would be a great help to the prince. ” Luo Lingwei said.

Upon hearing those words, Zhang Long hurriedly nodded his head. After all, he was just a military man. He did not think about these things, but he admired Luo Lingwei greatly. He thought to himself, just what kind of fortune did his master have to be able to marry such a virtuous wife?

While they were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

”Masters, a guest called Zhao Hu is looking for you.” The waiter's voice came from outside.

Luo Lingwei calculated the time and thought that it was about time.

”Understood, you may leave.”

After Luo Lingwei gave her orders, she brought Zhang Long and the others down the stairs and into the main hall. At this time, Zhao Hu was holding a rosewood box in his hand, waiting for Luo Lingwei's group to appear.
