855 The Empress Dowager

After walking around, King Jinling made a bold statement: "I also want to build a square, right next to Wuyi Square!"

In addition, Han Qingshan also came. He also disguised himself and did not meet Zhu Xiuyuan and everyone else...

As time goes by, noon is approaching.

The formal hanging ceremony of the plaque will also begin.

At this time, there was a sudden surge of people outside Wuyi Square, and there were shouts and screams, but it turned out that the chariot of Emperor Chen and Concubine You had arrived.

Zhu Xiuyuan and other ministers rushed to pick him up, while the rest of the people knelt down to greet him.



After the ceremony of hanging the plaque was over, Emperor Chen and Concubine You walked into the square and walked around. At this time, the square was already empty, and the feeling of spaciousness and emptiness was immediately reflected.

“It’s really cool in here!”

After walking around, everyone sat around the fence on the third floor of the atrium, and Concubine You expressed her sincere admiration.

Then Concubine You asked how this was done?

Zhu Xiuyuan only said that the principle was very complicated and could not be explained clearly in a few words. Finally, he said that if the imperial concubine liked it, he could transform the palace into a palace that would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

After hearing this, Concubine You was satisfied and did not ask about the principle.

Soon, Emperor Chen and Concubine You drove back to the palace.

As soon as she stepped out of the gate of Wuyi Square, Concubine You felt a wave of heat coming over her.

It was 360 degrees with no blind spots. She felt like she was in a steamer, very stuffy.

This feeling is most obvious especially after coming out of Wuyi Square.

"It's so hot!" Concubine You gently shook her fan, her face turned red and her brows furrowed slightly, which was due to the heat.

"My dear concubine, let's go back to the palace as soon as possible. I ordered you to prepare more ice cubes!"

"Hmm... but no matter how much ice there is, I still feel like it's not as cool as Wuyi Square. It's really cool in here."

After noon, all the guests dispersed one after another.

After King Jinling returned to his palace, he immediately summoned his younger brother King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi to plan the construction of a bigger and better square.

Half an hour later, they discussed a big plan——

Find Li Zhong, the Queen and others to jointly fund the construction of a new, larger and taller square next to Wuyi Square based on the model of Wuyi Square.



After the opening ceremony of Wuyi Plaza, that afternoon, all the shops on the entire three floors of the square were rented out in one afternoon.

There are even many people who were slow to start, failed to rent, and left dejectedly.

Because the shops in Wuyi Plaza are very dense and have three floors, there are five or six times more shops on the original site, which is all a waste of money.

In addition, the square is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is foreseeable that the square will be crowded with people all year round, so the rent of each shop is not cheap, and is twice as high as the normal rent.

This is another piece of silver!

Today alone, relying solely on rental income, Wuyi Plaza has made its money back!



Three days later.

The enthusiasm for the opening of Wuyi Plaza has not subsided.

But the weather in Beijing is getting hotter and hotter!

Concubine You is slightly plump, but she feels very uncomfortable in this hot weather. She could rely on ice cubes to cool down two days ago, but today she can no longer do so.

No matter how much ice cubes piled up, Concubine You felt upset.

For this reason, Chen Huang felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.

We can't let Concubine You live directly in the ice cellar, right?

"Your Majesty, how about we stay at Zhu Aiqing's Wuyi Square for a few days first? I remember that one side of Wuyi Square is connected to Dong Yulou, and that restaurant is also warm in winter and cool in summer."

Concubine You's face turned red from the heat and she felt weak all over. The two maids beside her kept shaking their fans, but they still couldn't relieve the heat.

Emperor Chen was really heartbroken when he saw this.

"Okay, let's go right now. My beloved, I'll wait for a while until I notify Zhu Aiqing to prepare." Huang Chen agreed immediately.

"How can Your Majesty, your Majesty, arrange all this yourself?" Concubine You tried hard to stop Emperor Chen, and turned to look at Xiao Cui, the maid standing beside her. She gave her a look and ordered: "Xiao Cui, you

Go and arrange it yourself!”

"It's the empress!" Xiao Cui went down.

Small steps carry the wind.



When Zhu Xiuyuan received the news, he was discussing matters with Lin Bochang and others at the Shenlei Army camp.

After he understood the words of the little eunuch who came to deliver the message, Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a while.

"I already know it. My young father-in-law, please report back to Your Majesty. I will clear out Dong Yulou and Wuyi Square as soon as possible and make all arrangements!" Zhu Xiuyuan said.

The little eunuch has returned.

Zhu Xiuyuan also immediately set off for the city.

He doesn't need to worry here at the Shen Lei Army camp. Lin Bochang is fully capable of taking charge on his own.

Recently, Zhu Xiuyuan paid more attention to the Divine Thunder Army because he heard that the five southeastern states were about to rebel.

Obviously, three days have passed, and there is still no movement in the five southeastern states.

After Zhu Xiuyuan entered the city, he went straight to Wuyi Square.

With one order, the entire Wuyi Square and Dong Yu Tower were cleared.

He specially selected the best Tianzi guest room in Dong Yu Tower for Emperor Chen and Concubine You to sleep.

Concubine You's personal maid, Xiao Cui, also arrived in advance, bringing a team of maids with her to personally decorate the temporary "bedroom".

This saved Zhu Xiuyuan a lot of trivial matters.

But Xiaocui didn't make it easy for him.

"Master Hou, the empress has very high requirements for the bathroom. Please take your servant to the bathroom to have a look. If it's not good, you need to make arrangements immediately!" Xiaocui said to Zhu Xiuyuan after decorating the temporary "bedroom".

"Please come with me!"

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately led the way.

Stop in front of a very nearby room.

This is the best bathroom Zhu Xiuyuan prepared for Emperor Chen and Concubine You.

"Master Marquis, it doesn't work here. Firstly, it's too close, and secondly... Your Majesty likes a quieter place when she takes a bath, preferably a separate courtyard or something like that." Xiao Cui said.

"That's it..."

So Zhu Xiuyuan took Xiaocui to a relatively independent courtyard far away. This was the office Dong Shuyu had prepared for himself, and it was not a guest room outside.

The environment is very quiet.

"This is it. I believe the queen will like it here." Xiaocui was finally satisfied, and then said: "Master Marquis, let's go in and take a look to see if there is anything missing."

So Zhu Xiuyuan opened the bathroom door, with Xiaocui behind him.

Zhu Xiuyuan stepped into it and said as he walked in: "This is actually no longer the scope of the restaurant. The tub, bathing supplies, etc. in this bathroom are all the best..."

In fact, this quiet courtyard is not so much an office space prepared by Dong Shuyu for himself.

It might as well be said that it was a "pleasure place" prepared by Zhu Xiuyuan for himself.

Therefore, everything in this small courtyard is of the best quality, and I believe it is enough to receive Concubine You.
