Chapter 532

But the title of Eldest Princess directly placed her on the same generation as Qin Mu, which was very difficult to accept.

"Mu'er, how can you confer upon me the title of Eldest Princess?"

"I am your..."

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's words were only half-spoken before she couldn't continue.

To this day, no relationship had been determined between the two of them.

She had always treated Qin Mu as her son, but Qin Mu had not treated her as his mother.

"Eldest Princess, mind your status."

"I, the Lone One, am the Emperor of the Great Qin; how could I be a generation lower than the Emperor of the Great Tang?"

"Moreover, by granting you the fief of Jin Ling, you have the obligation to help the Great Qin capture this city!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was stunned.

Qin Mu's words just now could be considered an explanation for why he conferred the title of Eldest Princess upon her.

Everyone in the world knew she had once been the Empress of the Great Tang; her generation in the Qin Palace would directly relate to Qin Mu's generation.

The people would never allow the Great Qin Emperor's generation to be lower than the Great Tang's!

Although Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou understood Qin Mu's meaning, she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart.

Accepting the title of Eldest Princess meant she acknowledged being on the same generation as Qin Mu.

This title broke the long-standing balance.

"Mu'er, then I would rather not have this title."

"If the Great Qin's palace cannot accommodate me, I can move out to live outside the palace."

"Go to the West Market to run a small shop."

Qin Mu understood Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's thoughts.

The former Empress of the Great Tang going to open a shop?

You can let me do anything!

Perhaps... it wasn't impossible!

In any case, it was much better than her living in the imperial palace without any status.

Moreover, with Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's reputation among the people, once she opened a shop, the scene would surely be explosive!

It could actually be a way to utilize her fame.

"What kind of shop do you plan to open?"

"Ah?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was caught off guard.

She clearly hadn't expected that Qin Mu wouldn't even hesitate and would actually agree to her opening a shop?

She had just said it off the cuff; where had she thought about what kind of shop to open?

"I... don't know."

"How about this, you open a headhunting recruitment agency."

Qin Mu didn't know if his brain turned fast or if he had already had the idea.

He pointed out a path.

"Headhunting recruitment, what is that?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was blank at the new term.

Qin Mu looked at her; the disappointed look was still there, but it had faded a lot. Now, what she carried on her face was more curiosity.

"Headhunting recruitment is helping people introduce high-end talent."

"For example, if a security firm wants to recruit a chief bodyguard, they need someone whose character and martial arts are of the highest selection."

"The proprietor can come to your shop, specify the requirements, and you introduce the suitable person to him."

"It's not just ordinary folk shops; even local officials can be found through this method."

"High-end talent?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was shocked again.

Could there be such a method?

Qin Mu's ideas were always so unexpected.

It sounded Wu Li Ke a good idea.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou thought for a moment.

Now that the Great Qin's commerce was rapidly prospering, signs for recruiting people were hung all over the streets.

Recruiting people for those shops was originally a good business.

And she only needed to take orders for finding high-end talent.

Qin Mu's voice sounded again at the right time.

"Don't forget, there is also Lu Yu; she has a lot of such resources on hand."

"It's just that she leads a merchant caravan and is busy running around outside all year round, so she has no time to open such a shop."

"If you cooperate with her, you will definitely be able to achieve some results."

"This can also be considered as making some substantial contribution to the Great Qin!"

Hearing the last sentence, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou made up her mind.

"Okay, I'll do it!"

"As long as it's beneficial to the Great Qin, you can let me do anything!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's solemn vow made Qin Mu feel a bit awkward.

This woman wanted to give everything for him.

But he couldn't even give her a status.

He had originally thought the title of Eldest Princess was not bad, with a prestigious status.

But who knew she would rather go out and open a shop than accept this title.

Qin Mu was really quite helpless.

"How about this, I will bestow upon you a shop sign, making it the first royal shop of the Great Qin."

"That would be wonderful, thank you, Mu'er!"

A smile finally appeared on Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's face.

Although she didn't get a satisfactory title, she could feel Qin Mu's concern for her.

It was just that this concern was hidden very deep, and it required her to dig to see it.

But being able to be Wu Li Ke this, she was content.

Learning that Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou was leaving the imperial palace, the women of the inner palace were all somewhat reluctant to part.

Having been together for so long, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wugou's humble and steady attitude had won the unanimous favor of the concubines in the inner palace.

But hearing that after she left the palace, she would run the first royal shop of the Great Qin, it made people especially envious.

Princess Changle came skipping to find Qin Mu.

"Brother-in-law, staying in the palace is quite boring. Is it okay if I go to help out in Mother's shop?" Qin Mu glared at Princess Changle.

"No!"

"Why not? I also want to contribute to the Great Qin!"

Princess Changle pouted unhappily, grabbed Qin Mu's hand, and shook it vigorously.

Qin Mu was truly helpless against this little girl.

Why did she want to follow along no matter what she saw others doing?

"You are the Great Qin's number one Sweet Song Princess; as long as you keep writing songs, that is the greatest contribution to the Great Qin!"

Speaking of singing, Princess Changle was stunned for a moment.

Staring with her two large eyes, she looked cute and naive.

"Then can't I be the Sweet Song Princess and do headhunting recruitment at the same time?"

Qin Mu laughed out loud.

The little girl was quite greedy, wanting to do everything...

"Of course not, you can only choose one."

"If you do headhunting recruitment, your fans will block the shop every day, making it impossible for your mother to do business." The little girl was clearly caught in a dilemma.
