Shangguan Zu Jin's POV
My wife blinks. I pinch her cheeks and grab the teacup from her hand. "What are you spacing out for, Your Majesty?" I ask, brow arching. She chuckles and takes off my hand on her face. "I'm listening. I promise."

"The Hao family, their family business was oil, wasn't it, Li Jin, Pei Qin?" she asks. "Yes. They export oils to the neighboring tribes on the northern border. They use merchants to deliver oils without creating any conflicts between any camps," Li Jin answers.
She held her chin and tapped her lower lip using her index finger. "An envoy from the north border will visit the palace for diplomatic purposes. We have to be careful first," Pei Qin commented.
Wu Jinmai smirks. Eunuch Liu comes back after sending a guard to pass the message to Noble Consort Wang.
