Chapter Title: Time for Business (2)

Chapter no. 13

(Qin Zetian's POV)

My father never questioned me about riding his horse and competing with his highness, the fourth prince. My elder brother Lushan did not mention a single thing about it to my mother again either, thus living in the manor is peaceful at most times. I am grateful to have a tight scheduled family of professionals, it enabled me to live my life the way I wanted it.

From the rumors, princess Roushi never like having friends and only socialize with her brothers. Some said she's a devil incarnate but I doubt that, it must have been an exaggeration from people who envy her. Whilst most of the young misses sent a word that it will be dangerous to go out with the princess, I don't know how or who leaked an information that the princess and I were having this friendly relationship, yet that only proves that this household isn't fool proof. I have killed thousands of criminals in my previous life and killing more people now won't change anything, but securing the safety of the princess is not an easy task.

The princess is a lonely figure who relied on her own strength. Sooner or later the emperor will surely arrange a marriage for her, that's why she's making a move to save herself by coming into our household. If my guess is right, she's likely wanting to get close to my eldest brother and let our household arrange the marriage itself. So for cautionary exemptions I need to befriend her and let her trust me first, I'll plan what happens afterwards. One should keep her friends close and her enemies closer. Only till I prove she's harmless will I be at ease.

"Young miss the princess is at the garden, and she wishes to see you"

"En. Let's not keep the imperial daughter waiting"

I walk towards the garden of my mother and saw the princess, she is leisurely drinking a newly brewed jasmine tea.

"Ze'er, I came to visit--oh it seems like you're going out?" I was taken aback when she suddenly called me by the nickname that my family gave me

"The princess is very observant, would you want to come and accompany this me?"

She nodded and stood.

Then, we went on our way.

"Where are we going?" excitement flooded her eyes like a foolish child, she sure look innocent but I know better than to trust someone's appearance.

"I'd like to purchase a few shops"

"A few shops? What are you going to do with them?" she asked

"I have always wanted to start my own business and I'd like to check a few shops and somehow purchase them for myself"

"What are these shops you're looking for? And what type of shops are you going to build?"

"I'd likely want to have a dress shop, a fresh market, a weaponry shop, and chains of restaurants. On the other hand I'd like to save and buy a medical pavilion so it won't be too expensive. A renovation for places will take place in the later part. If you want to join business with me then we can negotiate"

"My grandfather gave me two mountainous regions as a gift, so miss businesswoman how do you think will I earn from them?" the princess asked dejectedly as if the mountains were the most useless gift she has ever received

"We will convert it into an adventure park, there will be different rides, restaurants, inns, and many more things a family can do to strengthen their bond with their family members. I will make sure you'd be rich in no time, and I'll make a contract so I can supply the food in the meantime. We can plan for these projects and negotiate with businessmen across the continent if you are determined to your highness."

"An adventure park?"

"Yes an adventure park, you'll see soon"

Her eyes twinkled in delight. This princess is surely amusing.

"Hahaha it's no wonder I made the right choice of choosing you as my best friend! I'll be able to see the world freely!" the princess laughed while she hugged me, which is kind of awkward for me
