The Eighth Wise King became addicted to eavesdropping on the silly princess' thoughts

Concubine Li leaned lazily on the chaise longue. After listening to the detailed report from the chief eunuch Li Dehai, her beautiful eyes narrowed.

Although the silly princess' words and actions are a bit foolish, her ability to make money is really smart.

Did I pick up a treasure?

If the shares are raised to 50% or 60%, then wouldn't the gold and silver just flow into your pocket like water?

If the two sons want to eventually seize the throne, they must win over important officials, accumulate strength, and use money to pave the way.

The eldest son Yuanzuo was given to Empress Mingde, who had the support of the Empress's family.

But my second son Heng'er can't get much help from the two useless brothers from my mother's side.

Although I have carefully selected for him the daughter of the powerful Duke of Korea Pan Mei, the Duke of Korea's family is mediocre in their ability to do business and make money, and they are ultimately lacking in financial support.

Now I must seize the silly princess's way of making money and accumulate as much wealth as possible to plan for big things!

"Li Dehai, I will hand over this perfume and spice business to you.

While you are monitoring the accounts in the shop, see if you can get the methods of making those perfumes and soaps.

If this is accomplished, I will find a way to promote you to the position of Chief of Internal Affairs."

Li Dehai's heart was burning with anger after hearing this!

He immediately knelt on the ground to express his loyalty, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. I will serve you till my death!"

Concubine Li smiled with great satisfaction, gave a few more words of encouragement, and waved Li Dehai away.

Turning to her personal maid Wanrou, she said, "Wanrou, pass on my decree to summon Princess Qin to the palace."

.........

After the summoned eunuch left, Luo Li sat on the carved wooden chair and pondered for a moment.

Damn it! I might have attracted a ghost by burning incense!

Concubine Li is such a greedy, insatiable money-grubbing she-wolf!

There is no other way! Let’s go to the palace and deal with it.

Luo Li asked Hong Gu to prepare the car, and she took Hong Gu and Yingchun into the palace.

When Luo Li lifted the curtain of the carriage, she saw that Prince Qin Zhao Defang was already sitting steadily in the carriage, his handsome eyes looking at her with a smile.

"Did Concubine Li also summon you into the palace?" Luo Li asked as she sat down.

The King of Qin smiled faintly, "No! But I will go to escort you. Our family's money is not dirt, let anyone want to take a few bites!"

Luo Li gave King Qin a look of approval. This metaphor was quite appropriate and pleasing to the eye.

Someone was protecting her at the critical moment, and Luo Li felt a little warm in her heart. …

The strategies of the Song Dynasty to encourage economic development have yielded results, and the East Market under the Imperial City is prosperous everywhere.

There are many shops on both sides of the Imperial Street, and business is booming. Pedestrians are shoulder to shoulder, and the shop assistants are busy shouting and selling, and the cicadas in the trees on both sides make the atmosphere on the street very lively.

The carriage arrived at the palace gate and drove straight in. This was a treatment only for princes and princes.

When Concubine Li heard the eunuch report that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and his wife had arrived, she couldn't help but think about it.

I summoned the silly princess into the palace, why did Prince Qin Zhao Defang also come?

With him around, I can't eat in an ugly way.

"Please come in!" Concubine Li said helplessly.

Prince Qin Zhao Defang walked in holding the hand of the silly princess with noble manners and graceful steps.

"Greetings to Her Majesty Li Xianfei."

Concubine Li Xian put on a friendly smile and said, "No need to be polite! Please sit down and let the King of Qin and the Queen of Qin take their seats."

Concubine Li patiently chatted with the King of Qin for a few words, while Luo Li pretended to be stupid and just focused on eating and drinking.

"Empress Xianfei, are the grapes and melons here tribute from the Western Regions? They are really delicious!" Luo Li asked while looking up while eating happily.

Concubine Li Xian despised him in her heart but smiled warmly: "Yes! If Princess Qin likes it, I will bring some for you when you leave the palace."

Luo Li said without hesitation, "Thank you, Madam Concubine Xian! I can't eat such delicious food in the Prince Qin's Mansion."

Concubine Li was becoming more and more disdainful in her heart, but on the surface she showed the kindness and doting of an elder showing her own child.

"You are a very picky kid. You love all kinds of delicious food."

Luo Li looked like a glutton, chewing a piece of cantaloupe until the juice dripped out. "Aren't people living in this world just to enjoy this mouth?"

Concubine Li smiled and covered her lips with her hands, then turned to the main topic.

"Princess Qin, the third prince's wife also wants to buy into your perfume shop... 20% of the shares. I would like to ask you if it is possible." In front of the King of Qin, she lowered her goal by two points.

Luo Li threw the melon rind into the plate and took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"My Lady Concubine Xian, if you say everything else is fine, this is not!

Our perfume shop has two shareholders, the Bohai County Prince's Mansion and the Tianbo Yang Mansion. Add to that the shares from you, the Concubine Xian, and the Qin Palace, and there are too many shareholders and not much to share.

A few days ago, the Queen and several other ladies also had this idea, but I rejected them all outright. "

Luo Li said sincerely, "Madam! We are sure that this business will make a lot of money. You have to keep a close eye on it. We can't add any more shareholders, or else others will take a bite out of it!"

Concubine Li was so angry that she felt upset!

Am I just letting others take a few bites for nothing? I want to take a few more bites myself!

Qin Wang Zhao Defang's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm, "What the princess said makes sense. If I give the shares to Xiang Wangfei today, then tomorrow Qi Wangfei, Chu Wangfei, Chen Wangfei, and Ji Wangfei will all come to me and ask for shares. It will be difficult to refuse, and this business will not be able to be done."

Empress Li looked at the handsome face of Prince of Qin Zhao Defang, which had a hint of sarcasm on it, and had to put aside the greed in her heart.

"What the King of Qin said makes sense. I was not thoughtful enough. Apart from us, no more shareholders can be added to this perfume shop."...

After leaving the unhappy Concubine Li Xian, whose plans had failed, Prince Qin Zhao Defang took Luo Li to Yayan Pavilion in the west of the Imperial Palace to visit his mother.

The depressed Queen Song's mood improved rarely when she saw her son and daughter-in-law.

Queen Song glanced at Luo Li, who was sitting hand in hand with Princess Yongqing.

He said, "My son, yesterday the Minister of Revenue, Lord Luo, entrusted me with a favor and wanted me to marry his daughter Luo Ruixue to you as a concubine.

I didn't agree, I just pushed it onto you. The choice of the two concubines for the emperor is entirely up to you."

Before the King of Qin responded, Luo Li became interested.

"Mother, is Minister Luo's daughter the Luo Ruixue who is beautiful, gentle, and famous for her talent in the capital?"

Queen Song nodded, "Yes! Minister Luo's daughter is the talented woman Luo Ruixue from the capital."

The successor to the Princess of Qin is here! Luo Li's eyes lit up, and she quickly urged Queen Song.

"Mother! This marriage is a good one!"

Miss Luo is talented, has noble manners and good manners, and is beautiful as a flower. She and the King of Qin are a perfect match made in heaven!

The Minister of Revenue holds a high position of power and will be a great help to the King of Qin in the future.

Hurry up! Hurry up and agree to marry her, so that she won’t be snatched away by other princes.”

Queen Song looked at the silly princess in confusion, and praised her with satisfaction: "Royal daughter-in-law, it is rare that you are broad-minded and generous. You are not jealous and suspicious like other women."

Luo Li's pretty face lit up when she was praised by Queen Song!

"Mother, you have good vision! I have always been broad-minded and open-minded. I have never been jealous and I don't even bother to be jealous.

As long as Luo Ruixue is willing, I will transfer my position as the Princess of Qin to her!"

King Qin Zhao Defang glared at Luo Li angrily!

I thought, "You are not jealous? If your man has another woman, you will cut his cucumbers and feed them to the dog. Isn't that what you said?"

Want to find someone to take over and then escape? No way! 】

Queen Song was stunned when she heard this!

"My dear daughter-in-law, even if the prince marries Luo Ruixue as his concubine, he will not take away your position as the Princess of Qin.

Don't worry, even if he dares to do that, your mother won't allow it!

If his concubine dares to bully you in the future, your mother will take care of it for you."

Luo Li was anxious and quickly advised, "My Queen, I've had enough of the position of Princess Qin!

Look at me, I am stupid. How can I be worthy of the honorable position of Princess Qin?

You'd better find a beautiful, intelligent, well-educated and well-mannered young lady to be the Princess of Qin as soon as possible!

As a person who loves freedom, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds for me to live a carefree and happy life with a divorce letter? "

Luo Li was very excited and looked at Queen Song beggingly.

Princess Yongqing was so anxious that she hugged Luo Li's arm, tears welling up in her eyes: "No! No change! Sister-in-law, I want you to be my sister-in-law."

Queen Song finally understood that the story about the silly concubine her son married, who had been clamoring for a divorce letter, was not just a rumor or a joke but a real thing.

Queen Song looked at the prince with a cold expression and sighed!

How could this intelligent, talented, and handsome prince of ours be so despised by a fool with a brain disease?

Qin Wang Zhao Defang looked cold and looked at Luo Li with deep eyes, like a bottomless pool of autumn water. "I have said before that I can only lose my wife, not divorce!"

The light of hope that had ignited in Luo Li's heart was shattered like a bubble by King Qin's words!

She stared angrily at the eyes of Qin Wang Zhao Defang! "You are such a shameless, sinister and cunning man, why are you targeting me to harm me? Can't you change someone else?!"

The cold eyes of Qin Wang Zhao Defang instantly turned into a tender and affectionate look: "No! In this life, I will only have you, Luo Li, the Qin Wangfei. I will never have another concubine or Madam Ru!"

Luo Li rolled her eyes in anger!

[Fuck! You said it like a passionate confession. Do I care about you? ]
