The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  The red-tasseled and pretty girl smiled, but her eyes glanced at the package on the Eight Immortals table, her smile disappeared, and she pointed at the package with a concentrated expression: "Miss, you... could it be that Miss is going on a long journey?"

  Shui Lian Yue poured herself another cup of tea, put down the teapot, and nodded slightly. "That's right, Miss. You're also quite clear about my background. I've reached the age of marriage, and there are some things that require me to return personally to resolve."

  Hongying slightly furrowed her brow, and her delicate little mouth pouted, but before she could speak, Shuiyue added: "Don't worry, I'll keep you by my side."

  As expected, Hong Ying heard this sentence and instantly smiled, pulling up Shui Yun Yue's arm, even intimately saying "Miss loves Hong Ying the most".

  Actually, Hongying is still a little afraid of Shuixinyue, and it's not always like this, as long as she doesn't touch Miss's bottom line. Thinking back to those years, how Yang's mother was almost dead, even now, she still has lingering fears. If Miss gets angry, it's really not something anyone can bear, although Hongying doesn't know what Miss has been through.

  Death is the best relief, but to die slowly, being strangled with a broken spine, watching bone marrow spill all over the ground until it's drained dry, is unbearable for anyone.

  There is also the late Magistrate of Lang County, who has been dug up from his grave and reduced to a pile of white bones, yet still has to endure Miss's anger, hung at the city gate, exposed to the scorching sun.

  Just thinking about it now makes my scalp feel numb and I'm breaking out in a cold sweat.

  The two of them rested for a night and after entrusting their affairs to Zhang Gui, they set off on horseback the next day.

  Luo County is 320 miles away from Kyoto, and even if they hurry with a fast horse, it will take two days. However, as they approach their destination, Shui Lian Yue no longer rushes along the way, and stops to appreciate the scenery with Hong Ying, thus taking five days to arrive in Kyoto.

  Kyoto is indeed bustling and prosperous, with people flowing like a river between the streets. What's surprising is that even small vendors' businesses are frequently visited by customers, with money pouring into their pockets like running water, which gave Shuizumi Moe the idea of opening another store here.

  And Kyoto is also luxurious enough, with carved corridors and painted pillars, everywhere is extravagant, even small houses are decorated with unparalleled luxury, not to mention the three major families of the Jinxi Dynasty.

  "Miss, miss, come and see... it's so lively over there, let's go take a look", Hong Ying was like a little farmer entering the city for the first time, the bustling streets were dazzling to behold, even Shui Lian Yue couldn't help but secretly admire, Kyoto truly lived up to its name.

  In the past, apart from Lang County and Baihui Mountain, she had few contacts with people and even fewer places to go. Now that she has come here, her horizons have truly broadened.

  Alright, don't despise her, although she is a soul from modern times, but also can't help being attracted to the prosperous city of ancient times.

  What's most important is that all sorts of people are here, and the service is also varied. As a poor and remote county, her outfit is simply insignificant here, not to mention being stopped by passersby and having her appearance scrutinized.

  However, it was just as she had wished.

  Shui Lian Yue was pulled by the red ribbon to run forward, and for a rare moment, she felt a bit lazy. She squeezed into the crowd, only to find out that it was a tea tasting conference, which was why so many people had gathered around.

  A platform one meter high, six red sandalwood square chairs, three red sandalwood carved tables, the tables were set with tea sets, everything was ready. Just as someone stepped onto the platform, it turned out to be six young and handsome masters, each wearing magnificent clothes, causing the surrounding crowd to start discussing.

  "Look quickly, the eldest son of the Mu family, and also the second young master of the Chu family, wow, so handsome!"

  "Yes, it's like that, too handsome, ah, who stepped on my foot?"

  "Shameless woman, stop embarrassing yourself here. A young master from a respectable family can actually look down on you? Humph, doesn't he see that disgusting face of yours? Only I would marry someone like you."

  “........”。

  At this time, there were all sorts of things being said, and Shui Lian Yue just listened casually, but she did remember the Mu family and the Chu family.

  The three major families of the Kim Hee dynasty: Mok's family, Cho's family, Soo's family.

  The Shui family mainly operates silk fabrics and embroidery, the Shui family's embroidery has a long-standing reputation, even more exquisite than the palace's embroidery skills. The silk fabrics are most famous for Yunjin, even if the imperial concubines see countless treasures, they are very fond of it. However, the number of Yunjin produced each year is limited to only three pieces, which also became a treasure and was passed down as "thousand gold is hard to seek".

  Mukya mainly operates jade and gold and silver jewelry, Mukya monopolized the jade industry of the Kim Hui dynasty, and the craftsmanship of accessories has also inherited a hundred years of technology, with new and elegant styles, Jingle Pavilion has become a place where royal concubines, princesses, and thousands of madams often come and go.

  The Chu family mainly operated iron smelting, and also operated some brothels and restaurants. However, the Chu family was also an object of royal patronage, as their iron smelting technology was unmatched throughout the dynasty, and all the weapons used by the imperial army were produced by the Chu family.

  Shuǐ Lián Yuè was once the number one person in the organization, and when it came to intelligence, he could grasp it with ease. In this era, everything is already clear, otherwise, it would be a waste of the opportunity given by heaven for rebirth.

  The three major families have almost monopolized the entire dynasty economically over a hundred years. The ancestors of the imperial family had also proposed making the three major families courtiers, solely to serve the imperial court, but the heads of the three major families all refused.

  Helpless, the ancestors had to slightly change their plan. An imperial edict was issued, which could not be refused. All legitimate daughters born into the three major families were required to enter the palace for selection.

  By the time of the previous emperor, the empress was Chu Tinglan, a legitimate daughter of the Chu family. The Mu family had produced a concubine, but unfortunately she entered the palace and soon offended against the rules, without even receiving imperial favor, she was put to death. Fortunately, due to the wealth of the Mu family, they did not get implicated.

  Shui's legitimate daughter, Shui Yunxiu, emerged and was appointed as one of the four consorts, becoming Consort Yun.

  It was this Yunfei who had asked the previous emperor for an edict, which led to the arrangement of a marriage for Shui Lianyue. Anyway, Shui Lianyue didn't have a good impression of Yunfei either. Why should she be in charge of her own marriage?
