"Lord, don't want it, A Qing wants to be with him, A Qing is the lord's bodyguard!"

When A Qing heard that the emperor was in charge of the army and did not take her, she became anxious at the time. She was the emperor's personal bodyguard. A Qing had no official position. She always called Zhu Youjian the lord.

Zhu Youjian patted A Qing's jade hand and patiently comforted her:

"A Qing, listen to me. I don't know when I will come back this time. The safety of the princess is really important. It is really inconvenient for others to protect them personally. After I have thought about it, only A Qing is the most suitable. After I leave, you can move directly to live with the princess. The safety of the palace will be left to you. Remember to protect them personally at any time."

The emperor said this, and of course Ah Qing could not refuse, so he nodded and agreed:

"Don't worry, lord, Ah Qing will definitely protect the princess. There are many crises at the sea, so you should take care of your health. Ah Qing hopes you will be successful soon."

Zhu Youjian reached out and pinched Ah Qing's pretty face and said with a smile:

"Haha, I'm fine. Ah Qing wants to believe in my strength."

"Master..."

Ah Qing touched the place that Zhu Youjian had touched, and snuggled into Zhu Youjian's arms...

As the boss of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the princess could not stay in the palace all the time. Not only did she have to leave the palace often, she also often went out of the city to deal with some things.

The Royal Chamber of Commerce is all about monopoly industries, and it is inevitable that it will affect the interests of the gentry and nobles. Don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty and the emperor fell into the water and died.

Zhu Youjian was mainly worried that when he was away, some forces would attack the princess. With Ah Qing next to the princess, Zhu Youjian felt much more at ease.

After a moment of warmth, Zhu Youjian pulled his hand out of A Qing and gently patted her pretty face:

"Go to see the princess with me. I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know what the three girls are doing."

"OK"

A Qing blushed, slowly got up and took off her messy clothes on her body, and helped Zhu Youjian sort out the dragon robe. Then the two rushed to Kunning Palace together.

Kunning Palace was originally the palace where the empress lived. After Empress Zhou left, no one lived there. Zhu Youjian arranged his three daughters to live in Kunning Palace.

The two of them came to Kunning Palace, and the palace maids in front of the gate hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects:

"See Your Majesty the Emperor, and see Miss Aqing."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"Don't give me a favor and take me to see the princess."

The palace maid hurriedly bowed again:

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the princess is not here, they left the palace early in the morning, and it seems they went to the glass factory."

"Oh, then let's go to the glass factory."

The two turned around and left the princess's residence. Zhu Youjian changed his clothes and asked the eunuch to lead two war horses to the glass factory.

The glass factory was just completed and put into production two months ago. It mainly produces glass cups and various glass mirrors, as well as some artworks. Although it has only been produced for two months, it has become a major taxpayer of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

There were very few glass products in the late Ming Dynasty, and they were generally only available to those who were very wealthy.

Glass almost came to the Ming Dynasty through thousands of mountains and rivers from the West. Because transportation is difficult, it is considered a luxury item. A mirror is worth 20 yuan in dragon coins.

But at the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the cost price is less than a dragon coin. Of course, the craftsmanship and glass factory equipment are from the system. Currently, the main sales are within the Ming Dynasty and Japan.

Because of the limited output, it can be said that the supply is absolutely in short supply, especially mirrors and tea cups, which have become standard for wealthy and powerful people to entertain guests and women.

Most of the main roads in the capital have been turned into cement roads. They are now very clean. There is no more garbage or horse manure, and there is no more smell of that strange smell.

The glass factory is about five kilometers away from the Imperial City. The war horses walked out of the four hooves and came soon. The glass factory was surrounded by high walls on all sides, with only a gate on the front. In front of the door were four soldiers carrying flintlock rifles.

It is difficult for ordinary people to enter the glass factory, and even buyers cannot enter. They usually order goods in the exhibition hall, mainly to prevent theft, not to prevent people from stealing glass products, but to prevent people from stealing glass formulas.

Glass factories are all operated in flow operations, and no worker can complete the glass production alone. The workers' wages are not low, and the rewards are more than four dragon coins per month.

The salary of a month is equivalent to more than four taels of silver in the past and will be paid on time by month. This treatment cannot be obtained in private factories no matter what, and it is higher than the military soldiers who came to the field to fight.

As soon as Zhu Youjian and A Qing's war horses arrived in front of the gate, they were immediately stopped by two soldiers:

"Stop, no one in the factory is allowed to enter, please turn around and go back immediately."

A Qing pointed to the doorman with a horse whip in his hand:

"We are from the palace, please let it go immediately."

The guard looked up and down and saw that the two were dressed in luxury. They looked like either rich or noble. The two guards almost said in unison:

"I'm sorry, even those who come to the palace are not allowed. Unless there is a token from the prince, we dare not let it go. Besides, how do you prove that you are from the palace?"

"You guys who are blind, you are looking for death..."

"A Qing, don't bother with them."

When Ah Qing saw that the guards dared to block the emperor's way, he wanted to teach them a lesson at that time, but Zhu Youjian stopped them in time.

Not only did Zhu Youjian not mean to blame these two people, but he was still very satisfied with their performance. He was doing his duty and did not bow to the power in order to avoid losses from the glass factory.

"There are three girls who have been to the glass factory today, right? We are their friends. If you don't let us in, you have to inform us. This will not make things difficult for you, right?"

The Glass Factory Guards are not ordinary people, either Dongchang's or Jinyiwei members, but they are all ordinary characters and have never met the emperor.

They also don’t know the princess’ true identity, and they don’t even know the manager of the glass factory. Everyone only knows that these three girls are top leaders of the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing Zhu Youjian's appearance, Emon nodded:

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go and inform me."

The guard trotted into the glass workshop all the way. The three princesses watched the production of glass mirrors. The guard did not dare to disturb them, but quietly came to the manager and said:

"Sir, there are two people outside looking for three girls, and it seems that they are quite good at it."

The manager nodded:

"I understand, you guys go back first."

"yes"

After the guard left, the manager came to Zhu Weishi and the other two:

"Report to the three girls, someone outside the door wants to see you."

Wei Xixiu frowned:

"Who can find a glass factory?"

The guard hurriedly replied:

"The report came from a man and a woman. The man was very majestic and imposing, and the woman was very beautiful."

"One man and one woman, the man is very imposing, the woman is very beautiful..."

Hearing the doorman's description, Wei Shi immediately guessed most of the time, who else could be there except his father and A Qing?

"Two sisters, let's go out and have a look. It's probably the father and A Qing who are here to come to us."

After Wei Yu said that, he got up and ran away. Jianwen and Ziwei followed closely after the disaster. Sure enough, they saw two familiar figures standing in front of the door from afar.
