Unfortunately, things backfired. Although Zhou Tong wanted to stay sick, the medicine Zhao Feng gave her was so effective that she completely recovered the next day.
After all, when Zhao Feng first lived in the village, most of the villagers who got sick would go around to find some herbs to eat, so Zhao Feng also knew some prescriptions for treating typhoid fever.
At that time, Zhao Feng also used some prescriptions in his memory to help some villagers around him cure some diseases, most of which were common diseases such as typhoid fever.
There is no theory of typhoid and miscellaneous diseases in this world, so Zhao Feng can actually be regarded as a semi-miracle doctor.
After recovering from the illness, Zhou Tong also regained his energy. Seeing that Zhou Tong finally recovered, Zhao Feng was relieved. They continued on their way without any further delay.
Finally, on the third day after recovering from the illness, the group of them returned to the capital.
Looking at the familiar city walls of the capital, Zhao Feng couldn't help but stretch, turned to Zhou Tong, cupped his hands and said.
"Your Highness, since you have returned to the capital, please forgive me for taking my leave first."
"I haven't been back home during this time. It's time to go home and take a look at the situation. After finishing my work here, I have to go to the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen."
Although Zhou Tong couldn't bear to say goodbye to Zhao Feng and looked at Zhao Feng with a somewhat reluctant look, he knew that Zhao Feng had a lot to do when he returned to the capital, so he nodded slowly.
"Then you're done, come find me at my mansion!"
Zhao Feng smiled and agreed before riding off.
Seeing Zhao Feng's back, Zhou Tong suddenly felt as if a piece was missing in his heart, a little empty.
Originally, when she returned to the capital, she wanted to show off her wealth with her good sisters, but now she just felt that this matter was boring. Without Zhao Feng's company, Zhou Tong was no longer interested in doing anything.
As Zhou Tong's personal maid, Xiao Qing noticed Zhou Tong's condition and quickly came up with an idea.
"Your Highness Princess, when you return to the capital this time, aren't you going to meet your father and mother?"
Zhou Tong finally came to her senses and almost forgot the most important thing about returning to the capital this time. She wanted to plead with her father to allow him to build a cement factory on his own land and pave roads with the produced cement.
Although Zhou Tong felt that this matter might not be as important as she thought, it was something Zhao Feng wanted to broker, and she would do her best to plead with Zhou Zhen for Zhao Feng's sake.
So Zhou Tong went back to the mansion to freshen up, put on his best clothes, and then went to the palace.
Arriving at the harem, Zhou Tong went directly to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
"Mother, here I come!"
The current queen is graceful and regal, with the attitude of a mother nurturing the world. Her name is Yang Wan. Although she is not from one of the four major families, she is also from a famous family.
Seeing Zhou Tong jumping into the palace, Queen Yang Wan smiled slightly.
"You are so old, but you still can't change your appearance. Now you are a princess with your own fiefdom, so you have to pay attention to your posture at all times."
Zhou Tong smiled, walked in directly, sat on the bed, and said with a smile.
"Why should I pay attention to my manners in front of my mother?"
"No matter what happens, am I not my mother's little princess?"
Yang Wan smiled and nodded, pulled Zhou Tong up, looked up and down, and then said with some distress.
"It's not very good for you to live alone in the fiefdom. Why do you look so thin again?"
Zhou Tong quickly waved his hand, pinched his face and said.
"Mother, don't be joking. I have gained a lot of weight during this period. I look thin because I have makeup on my face!"
Yang Wan was a little surprised. Although she was already in her 50s, she didn't look old at all, but looked like a beautiful woman in her 30s.
"Make up? Is it one of those beauty salons in the capital?"
Zhou Tong nodded vigorously and then asked in surprise.
"Didn't you expect that the Queen Mother also knew about this?"
Yang Wan smiled slightly and took out a set of cosmetics from the side, which surprised Zhou Tong.
"This is a special tribute from that beauty parlor. Your fourth brother originally prepared a set for his mother-in-law. Later, all the concubines in the harem wanted it, so His Majesty directly ordered that the beauty parlor pay tribute."
"However, these cosmetics are really good. Not only are they very easy to use, but each one has its own fragrance. My skin feels moisturized after applying it."
Zhou Tong nodded with satisfaction and said happily.
"Well, these cosmetics are very easy to use. The most important thing I do when I get up every day is to put on makeup. Who doesn't want to dress up beautifully?"
When Yang Wan heard this, she looked at Zhou Tong with some confusion.
"I heard that these cosmetics are very expensive. Don't underestimate this set. It costs 10,000 taels of silver!"
"Didn't you ask for more salary from your father before? Why can you afford these cosmetics this time?"
Zhou Tong chuckled and said softly: "Mother, you don't know that the owner of this beauty salon is from Zhongshushe, Zhao Feng. He is now in my fief, helping me build my fief!"
"He is amazing. It only took him half a year to build my fief in an orderly manner. Now I can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in a month!"
Yang Wan also looked at Zhou Tong in shock. She was not one of those people who only played tricks in the harem. As Zhou Zhen's official wife and the empress of the world, she also had some knowledge in governing the country. She could She can be regarded as Zhou Zhen's good wife.
"How many tens of thousands of taels of silver can you earn every month? Your taxes are higher than those of a state!"
Zhou Tong smiled, this was only part of the income from those industries, the rest was taken away by Zhao Feng. Although he took the majority, Zhao Feng also made a lot of money.
Thinking about it this way, no wonder many people think that Zhao Feng is the richest person in the entire Zhou Dynasty. This is the real country with incomparable wealth!
However, Zhao Feng was usually very discreet and no one knew about this incident. This also prevented many people from holding grudges against him.
Yang Wan saw Zhou Tong's beaming expression when she mentioned Zhao Feng, and she immediately understood something in her heart. She was not only a mother, but also a woman, so she could naturally know what Zhou Tong was thinking.
However, Yang Wan did not say it directly, but pretended to be curious.
"If he is such a talented person, I will definitely ask your father to call him into the palace one day, take a good look at him, and thank him for taking care of you during this time."
Zhou Tong's face suddenly turned red, remembering the night when he had a high fever a few days ago.
