Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Xiao Qingyuan took the banknote, glanced at it, and handed it back: "Even if you can make money, you don't have much money on you. Keep this for yourself. I'll go to the street with you some other day. You can pick out some good fabrics and ask the best embroiderer to make clothes for you."

"I don't have much money now, but I will have a lot in the future. Prince, you may not know this yet, but there is a very special snack in Qingyun Tower recently, called Fruit Yogurt Ice Bowl. It is my own creation. I gave them the recipe and they made it according to it."

Xiao Qingyuan had recently been to Qingyunlou to buy bird's nest for Chu Yanluo. He had heard of the name of this snack and it seemed to be very popular, but he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Hearing Chu Yanluo's words, he was surprised and delighted: "What? You invented the fruit yogurt ice bowl?! Yanluo, you can actually make snacks?"

"I can make a lot of other things, but I just made them to kill time when I was bored at home. I didn't expect that people outside would treat them as treasures. The owner of Qingyunlou even said that he would give me dividends every month in the future!"

Chu Yanluo felt more complacent when she saw Xiao Qingyuan's shock. They were both reborn, but that idiot Shen Mingxuan only knew how to shout everywhere that she was reborn and couldn't do anything useful. She was nothing like her who immediately thought of ways to make money.

How could that damn Shen Wantang gain a foothold in the palace? How could she make the maids and nannies obey her? It was because the housekeeper's daughter embezzled a lot of money from the palace, and she just gave some rewards to the servants, and they all served her wholeheartedly!

Even after Xiao Qingyuan borrowed five hundred taels of silver from her, he began to speak well of her intentionally or unintentionally!

Money makes the devil work, but lack of money can make a hero fail.

Chu Yanluo originally thought that she would be able to enjoy a good life after coming to Prince Ning's Mansion. After all, after she came here in her previous life, Xiao Qingyuan was not cut off from all financial supplies by Prince Ning and Princess Ning. He was very generous and spent a lot of money on her. The silks and satins he gave her were so many that she could not wear out even if she changed two sets of clothes a day. It was nothing like now, when she was so poor that she almost starved to death!

The situation changed in this life. Shen Wantang became the head of the family. The princess only focused on Xiao Qingyuan, making him suffer and not giving him a single penny.

Chu Yanluo knew in her heart that Princess Ning’s ultimate purpose was to force her away.

But there is no way she would leave. She would take revenge on those who looked down on her and slap them hard in the face!

She said confidently, "Prince, Qingyunlou is the largest restaurant in the capital. They all say that my snacks are very good and they want me to buy a share. Do you want to buy a share? Even if we don't rely on the palace in the future, we will have endless money to spend and we won't have to look at other people's faces anymore."

Xiao Qingyuan had suffered enough from not having money during this period of time. He had never felt that money was so important. Seeing Chu Yanluo was so confident, he immediately nodded and agreed: "Since this is a snack you created, of course I have to invest in it! I just don't know how much I should invest?"

Chu Yanluo looked at the bag of money he had just received: "Didn't Master Yuan and Master Gu give you silver notes? You can use them all to invest. With the strength of Qingyunlou, plus my snacks, you will be able to get your capital back within ten days, and then you can pay off the debt you owe them."

Xiao Qingyuan was a little bit unbelievable: "Can I get my money back so quickly?"

"Others certainly can't do that, but don't we have me? Do you think I only know how to make this one snack? I know so many other things. If I teach them a few of them, the number of diners at Qingyun Building will increase tenfold or twentyfold."

Xiao Qingyuan handed her the purse with some excitement: "Yanluo, you are really amazing. In my opinion, you are the most talented woman in Dafeng! You are more talented than the daughter of Liuge's family!"

Liu Nanshi, the daughter of Liuge's old family, has always been praised as the most talented woman in Dafeng. She had read the Four Books and Five Classics when she was nine years old, and even the emperor praised her poems.

Liu Nanshi and Gu Qianhan have always been known as the golden boy and jade girl by the world, and the two families seemed to have the intention of getting married in the past two years.

Chu Yanluo took Xiao Qingyuan's purse and said modestly, "My knowledge of these is nothing. At most, I use them to kill time in my spare time. I haven't studied them seriously. After all, I don't want to make money, and I don't want to be famous. Fame and fortune are a burden to me. I don't like them."

Xiao Qingyuan looked at her infatuatedly: "Yanluo, you are the most indifferent person to fame and fortune I have ever seen. You have a pure heart without any impurities. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have thought of cooperating with Qingyunlou to make money. It's my fault that I didn't protect you well and let you be contaminated by these worldly things."

Chu Yanluo put the purse under the pillow and stuffed the five hundred taels into his hand: "I don't blame you. How can you stay clean in this dirty world? It doesn't matter if you are contaminated a little. As long as the prince is well, I am willing to do anything."

Xiao Qingyuan was so moved that he almost cried: "Yanluo, no one has ever been so kind to me like you!"

Chu Yanluo smiled at him: "Isn't it my duty to be nice to you? Well, you should pay back the money you owe Shen Wantang first, otherwise I will always feel uneasy. I hate owing favors to others the most."

"Okay, I'll return it right away. We don't owe her anything!"

Chu Yanluo nodded, then seemed to remember something and asked him, "Where is the banknote that Second Young Master Gu gave you last night? Bring it here, and I'll help you give it to Qingyun Building to buy shares."

"I gave it to Mo Ji. Just wait. I'll be back soon!"

After Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked out.

He went to the yard and called Mo Ji over: "Where is the banknote I gave you? Bring it here."

Mo Ji immediately took out the purse and put it into Xiao Qingyuan's hand: "Master, what are you going to do?" In the past, Xiao Qingyuan never touched silver or banknotes. Why was he asking for it now?

Xiao Qingyuan was very happy. He said proudly, "Yan Luo is very clever and can make a lot of snacks. The fruit yogurt ice bowl that has been very popular recently is her creation! She is a talented woman. There is nothing she can't do. Qingyunlou has taken the initiative to find her for cooperation and asked me to invest. I said Yan Luo is different from other women, but you still don't believe me."

Mo Ji was stunned: "Master, you are not going to give all the 30,000 taels of silver notes you just got to Miss Chu as a shareholder, right?"

"What, no?"

"This... please keep some for your daily use!"

"No need to stay. Yan Luo said that it will only take ten days to get your money back."

"So what are we going to spend these ten days on? Master, didn't you say that we should give Miss Chu bird's nest every day?"
