Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

"Purchase of porcelain in the palace?" Qin Sheng was full of doubts when he heard the news, "Why did Brother Wu take this matter?"

"Could it be that the fifth prince wants to show off in front of the emperor?"

The staff at the First Prince's Mansion couldn't help but speculate on Qin Hao's actions.

However, just as this statement was put forward, it was refuted by another staff member:

"Probably not. If the fifth prince really wanted to show himself in front of the emperor, he wouldn't just accept such an insignificant job."

This statement was immediately endorsed by other staff members.

The purchase of porcelain sounds like an errand, but this kind of errand is almost always the responsibility of the ladies in the palace, and sometimes even the stewards of the palace.

For a prince to take the initiative to take on such an errand that should be the responsibility of a servant, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he wants to earn money for himself.

At this time, the problem returned to the original starting point:

"Then why did the fifth prince suddenly take on this job?"

At this time, someone finally put forward his conjecture:

"Could it be that she was entrusted by Princess Li to help Princess Li get rid of Tao Ranju's current predicament?"

It's not because this staff member guessed like this, but because Tao Ranju's life has been really difficult in recent days.

Don't cut the price, those porcelains are all squeezed in the store.

Let's lower the price, the price is always lower than Yuncizhai.

And this statement was quickly endorsed by other staff members:

"It is possible. After all, the fifth prince has always been on good terms with Prince Li. Now it is reasonable to find a way to solve Princess Li's urgent needs."

"In this way, it seems to be able to explain the sudden resumption of work at Taoran Kiln the day before yesterday."

Yes.

As early as a day ago, the Taoran kiln factory had restarted fire and resumed work.

This incident also did not escape the eyes of the eldest prince's mansion who had been staring at them these days.

On the day Taoran Kiln resumed work, these staff members in the First Prince's Mansion had already gathered together to discuss it once.

Thinking that Tao Ranju or Shopkeeper Tang had thought of some new way to deal with it, Zhou Maoran and others were really nervous for a while.

As a result, a day later, Zhou Maoran and others discovered that Tao Ranju had no other actions other than to follow Yuncizhai to lower the price.

He also heard that the resumption of work at Taoran Kiln Factory was an order from Gu Yanshu, so he did not give this matter to him again.

Take it to heart.

Who knew that this day had passed, and Zhou Maoran had just let go of the breath in his heart when he got such news?

No wonder Taoran Kiln Factory will resume work suddenly, it turns out that it has really thought of a solution!

Realizing this, Zhou Maoran's complexion suddenly became ugly, and it can even be described as "iron green".

God knows that Zhou Maoran already had an ominous premonition in his heart after hearing that the fifth prince had taken over the purchase of porcelain in the palace.

Now when I heard these staff members say that the fifth prince's move was for the sake of Princess Li.

Zhou Maoran unexpectedly thought of whether it was the eldest prince or the fourth prince, or the staff here.

They all swore to him that His Royal Highness Li Wang would never interfere in anything about Li Wangfei.

Now the facts are the exact opposite of what they said.

Everyone knows that the Fifth Prince is on good terms with His Royal Highness Li Wang, if there is no sign from His Highness Li Wang, how could the Fifth Prince suddenly help Princess Li?

However, whether it is the first prince, the second prince or the fourth prince, they are all above Zhou Maoran, and Zhou Maoran dare not question him at this time.

However, one of the staff members also thought of this problem and directly raised a question:

"However, there is no relationship between His Royal Highness Li Wang and Li Wang Concubine. It seems unreasonable for the Fifth Prince to act?"

"There's nothing out of the ordinary."

Immediately, another staff member refuted this:

"No matter how bad the relationship between His Royal Highness and Concubine Li is, they are still husband and wife on the surface. I am afraid that King Li made the move because of affection. After all, this is just a matter of raising his hand to King Li."

Even if someone agrees with this statement:

"That's right, after all, His Highness Li Wang's thoughts are always unpredictable, so it's normal to do such a thing."

At this time, someone finally raised the most critical question:

"If the fifth prince took over the purchase of porcelain in the palace to understand Tao Ranju's urgent need, what should Yuncizhai do next?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the study.

The staff who were still expressing their opinions just now all shut up.

Because at this time, they finally thought of a question:

The reason why Tao Ranju is facing the current predicament is entirely because the eldest prince and Yuncizhai are working together.

If things are really as they guessed just now, wouldn't all the plans of His Royal Highness be in vain?

thinking about

, some of the aides glanced at the main seat in the study room and forgot to take a look, and they found that the Eldest Prince's complexion was not much better than that of Tuesday.

The aides who were familiar with the eldest prince knew that it was a sign that he was about to get angry when he saw the expression on the eldest prince's face.

After realizing this, the staff members looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, for fear that if they didn't say a word correctly, they would directly hit the muzzle of the First Prince's gun.

Just when the staff members were speechless, a person suddenly walked in outside the door, breaking the oppressive atmosphere in the room.

When this person came in, many staff members were relieved, at least they didn't have to face the First Prince's eyes that seemed to be eating people.

However, the aides hadn't completely let go of their breath when they realized that it wasn't someone else who came, but a servant who was sent to watch Tao Ranju's movements.

The First Prince was already extremely angry because of the news he just received, so at this time, servant, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire?

"What are you doing back here?"

Just as the staff members thought, Qin Sheng looked at A-Pu with no warmth in his eyes, as if if A-Pu said something he didn't want to hear, he would immediately make A-Pu look good.

However, no one thought that under such circumstances, Ah Pu could bring them good news:

"Returning to His Highness the First Prince, the Fifth Prince just had a dispute with Princess Li in Tao Ranju, and the movement is not small."

"What?" The anger on Qin Sheng's face hadn't even dissipated completely, and there was a trace of astonishment.

"Concubine Li had a dispute with the fifth prince? Why?" Others also felt that this incident was a bit unexpected, and hurriedly asked.

"For the purchase of palace porcelain this time."

A servant quickly gave the answer:

"After His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince came out of the palace, he went directly to Tao Ranju. Princess Li happened to be there at the time. After seeing His Highness, Princess Li asked directly how much porcelain was needed in the palace. His Highness did not answer Princess Li's question, but instead Ask Concubine Li if the price of Tao Ranju can be reduced by [-]%."

Hearing this, some people immediately couldn't stop their doubts:

"The Fifth Prince asked Concubine Li to lower the price? And [-]% lower? Why?"

We must know that whether it is Taoranju or Yuncizhai, the current prices have almost dropped to the lowest point.

Don't look at Taoranju and Yuncizhai these two days, you come and go, but if you look carefully, you can find that whether it is Taoranju or Yuncizhai, the price has been reduced in the past two days.

The intensity is getting smaller and smaller.

In the first few days, the two shops were able to drop by [-]% and [-]%, but later, it became a half-to-half drop. Since yesterday, the two shops have only dared to drop by a few tenths on the original basis. It's done.

As for the reason, the staff naturally got the answer from Zhou Maoran.

Because since yesterday, the price has been above the cost price, and if the price is lowered, the more the price is lowered, the more the loss will be.

Since the fifth prince took over the purchase of porcelain in the palace for Tao Ranju, it is impossible for him not to know this.

But if you know that the fifth prince also proposed to let Tao Ranju reduce the price, it would be [-]% for every purchase, which would be a bit confusing.

And what A servant said next directly answered the confusion in the minds of the staff:

"Princess Li naturally refused when she heard the request from His Royal Highness Fifth, saying that the price could not be lowered any further, but His Royal Highness said that if Princess Li refused to lower the price, then the porcelain in the palace this time could not be made from Tao Ranju. gone."

"Concubine Li was very angry about this, and felt that His Highness Fifth was threatening him, saying that he would go to His Highness Li for comment, and His Highness directly told Princess Li the truth."

"It is said that the Holy Majesty already knows that the porcelain in Beijing is cheaper this year than in previous years. When the Fifth Highness asked the Holy Majesty for this errand, the Holy Majesty said that the treasury is empty, and asked the Fifth Highness not to be sentimental when doing things. "

"His Highness the Fifth Highness thinks that what the Holy Majesty said means to let him choose a porcelain shop with the cheapest price in Beijing. However, the price of Tao Ranju is still half a percent higher than that of Yuncizhai, so His Highness the Fifth Highness asked Concubine Li to lower the price. Otherwise, he has no way to explain to the Holy Majesty."

As soon as A servant said this, the staff present suddenly realized.

So what if the fifth prince will continue with the errand of buying porcelain in the palace?

On top of the Fifth Prince, there is a Holy Majesty!

Now that the Holy Majesty has already ordered the fifth prince to choose the cheapest porcelain shop in Beijing, can the fifth prince still resist the decree?

As soon as the servant's voice over there fell, Zhou Maoran couldn't help asking immediately:

"What about Princess Li? Did you agree to lower the price?"

It's no wonder Zhou Maoran is so eager, after all, this question is also related to the life and death of Yuncizhai.

To know the final result of this matter, to put it mildly, it is a matter of winning or losing the price war between Yuncizhai and Tao Ranju.

On a larger scale, it is another concept.

What is the fifth prince's next job?

palace

The purchase of Chinese porcelain!

You must know that no matter what item, once the word "imperial palace" is stained, it will immediately be raised to a higher level.

If someone's things are sold into the palace, they will naturally be superior to other peers.

Zhou Maoran originally thought that the sale of Tao Ranju's porcelain to the palace was a certainty, and he had already planned to accept it.

However, after listening to what A Pu said, Zhou Maoran realized that there was no room for change in this matter, so he immediately became concerned.

For a moment, Zhou Maoran's heart was beating like a drum, and he kept praying that Gu Yanshu must keep his foolish mind of the past few days, he could only see the immediate benefits, and never agree to Qin Hao's request.

Perhaps God heard Zhou Maoran's heartfelt voice, and seeing A-Servant shook his head slightly, he said the answer that made Zhou Maoran extremely excited:

"No, Princess Li said that His Highness the Fifth Highness just wanted to take advantage of Tao Ranju, and she also said that she didn't want to hear His Highness Fifth's sophistry. In the end, she directly kicked His Highness Fifth out of Tao Ranju."
