Manbao glanced at Changyu and said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, didn't you know? Royalty and nobility can't do business, not even officials."
Changyu was stunned, it seemed to be true, then she was indignant, pointing at Manbao, "Aren't you doing business?"
Manbao immediately denied it, "I'm not, I just provided a few recipes to my niece and sister-in-law, they're the ones doing business, I haven't made a penny."
Changyu paused, sensing she was being sly, quite upset, "You liar, you're all one family, when they make money, they surely let you spend it."
Manbao shrugged and said, "Yeah, but what can you do? The court only prohibits officials from engaging in commerce, not their families."
Changyu was still angry, but Mingda instantly understood Zhou Man's point, sighing, "So you see, sister, the court regulations haven't much bound Manbao as a minor official, let alone you as a princess."
