The young master said with a certain expression. Eunuch Chang was amused. It is rare that he could still maintain this innocence after following him for so long.

Prince Yong has always boasted about his high attainments in calligraphy and painting. Few people can do it. Now even the emperor can see it as a fake, but he was still sent to the palace to exchange paintings with the emperor. This is unreasonable.

It was also when King Yong was lucky and when he met the emperor in a good mood, he would have to scold him.

Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan stayed outside the imperial study room, and Eunuch Chang went in first.

The emperor didn't know that Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan were coming, so Eunuch Chang stepped forward to salute, and the emperor said, "The Prince Jing'an Mansion is making things difficult for the prince and the prince's concubine?"

Eunuch Chang shook his head and said, "I didn't enter the Jing'an Palace."

The emperor frowned slightly, and Eunuch Chang hurriedly said, "As soon as I arrived at the Prince Jing'an Mansion, the prince and the prince's concubine left the mansion and were about to enter the palace. I returned to the palace with them. Now I am outside the imperial study."

"Prince."

The little father-in-law hurried out.

Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan walked side by side into the imperial study room.

When they came in, Eunuch Chang had already told the emperor about what happened in the Jing'an Palace.

The emperor was in a better mood than before.

These two juniors are more hailed than the civil and military officials of the court.

I have never been so happy that the Queen Mother was so happy.

The Jing'an Palace and the Huguo Duke's Mansion have always been in a good way. Since the last time he returned to the hunting ground, the Jing'an King was assassinated and poisoned, the Huguo Duke showed some ambitions and tried to get involved in the military power in the hands of the King Jing'an.

He was still a little afraid of the marriage between the Jing'an Palace and the Hejian Palace. Unexpectedly, after Prince Jiang's granddaughter married Prince Jing'an's son, his relationship with the Duke's Mansion of Huguo not only did not improve, but was even worse than before.

Now the prince is also fighting with the Duke of the Guardian Mansion.

King Jing'an did not stop them from opening a study and slapping Xizizhai, which shows that he agreed.

The two saluted the emperor together, "I've seen the emperor."

"No gift," the emperor said in a bright mood.

Qi Moyuan and Jiang Wan looked at the emperor, and the emperor was also looking at them.

To be precise, the emperor was looking at Jiang Wan. After all, papermaking and printing were both written by Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan never left any good impression on the emperor, but when he saw him now, the emperor was still a little unbelievable.

But with such great contributions, Prince Jing'an would not just give it to the prince's concubine and use her name to honor him.

The emperor looked at Jiang Wan a little uncomfortable. Just as she couldn't help speaking, the emperor smiled and said, "I already know why you entered the palace."

"The opening of Wanjuan Building has damaged the prestige of the Queen Mother. It should be better to go to the palace to compensate the Queen Mother."

"I'll go with you."

The emperor would accompany them to see the Queen Mother, which was expected by Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan.

The Empress Dowager knew that the emperor was behind Wanjuanlou, and the money he earned would be used to open academy, but she only took some rare books from the palace to support the place. In order to repay the old lady of the Duke's Mansion for saving her life, the Empress Dowager put pressure on the emperor.

Princess Yide would go to talk to the princess about this matter. Obviously, the emperor did not agree to take back the orphan book and hand it over to the queen mother. Princess Yide could not persuade anyone, so she could only ask the princess to come forward and let them give in.

Although it was not the emperor's words that he took the initiative to openly, he had some of the face of the emperor. Now, the emperor will definitely not miss the opportunity to regain the situation.

Besides, the emperor was afraid that the old lady would punish them, so he sent Eunuch Chang to support them. Now they are facing the empress dowager. Can the emperor not protect them?

The Shunning Palace where the Empress Dowager lives is a little far from the Emperor's Imperial Study. It took a long time to arrive.

In the hall, the queen mother was sitting there and was angry. The nanny had already returned to the palace and told the queen mother everything about the matter in the Jing'an Palace.

As soon as he finished reporting, the young master stepped forward and said, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is here."

After reporting, the young father-in-law retreated to the side.

The emperor stepped in, and Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan followed behind the emperor.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, suppressed her anger from her face, and smiled, "Have the emperor finished the government's affairs?"

The emperor politely said, "I have let the Empress Dowager wait for a long time. What's the important thing about the Empress Dowager sending someone to find me before?"

The Empress Dowager felt that there was no need to say anything, and her eyes fell on Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan.

The two stepped forward to pay tribute to the Queen Mother.

The emperor said, "Today is the day when Wanjuan Building is reopened. I didn't expect that it would cause the Empress Dowager to suffer the prestige. They came to apologize to the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother's face became gloomy.

Did she really not expect it or did it on purpose? The empress dowager knew it.

She was about to scold her, and the emperor took the lead, "It was because I was negligent. I had pity for a moment that Wanjuanlou had suffered heavy losses before it was opened, so I allowed them to sell the copied orphan rare books in Wanjuanlou. I didn't expect that Wanjuanlou and Xizizhai would be incompatible with each other and did not set the price."

The Empress Dowager's anger surged into her chest. The Emperor helped Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan talk, forcing her to swallow her anger.

What can I do if I don’t swallow it?

Originally, Wanjuanlou sold the orphan rare books first. She relied on the excuse that she wanted to repay the favor of the Duke of the Protector's Mansion to force the emperor to hand over the power to sell the orphan rare books to Xizizhai.

The emperor was unwilling to do so, so how could he let Wanjuanlou destroy the copied book?

If the emperor really does this, where is the emperor's majesty?

After all, this is wrong with Xizizhai.

Unfortunately, Zizhai is what she wants to do. Even for her own face, the empress dowager will not criticize Xizhai in front of the emperor. The empress dowager said, "Xizhai also wants to make more money and hand it over to the emperor to open academy."

After saying that, the Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Wan and Qi Moyuan, "Why are the books in Wanjuanlou sold so cheaply? Is there really profitable?"

Jiang Wan nodded, "The emperor thought that everyone in the world could read books. Wanjuanlou naturally did not aim at making money. Profit would be enough to support a college."

That's enough...

The emperor looked dark.

Eunuch Chang was a little suspicious of whether the princess knew how much it cost to open academy.

Wanjuanlou’s annual profit is less than 10,000 or 20,000 taels, so it is difficult to open the academy.

The academy has not yet opened, and it has already made its reputation. Not only do it, but it has to be opened well. It is not only 20,000 taels that cannot be beaten.

There are many shops in Kyoto, and there are only a handful of shops that can earn 20,000 taels a year.

Although he is very profitable, he gives people a ignorant feeling of losing money without knowing it. The princess is very capable, and Eunuch Chang admires it from the bottom of his heart.

The empress dowager glanced at the emperor and suspected that Wanjuanlou could only do the first half, not to make money, or even lose money. Don't end the emperor's treasury for the sake of face, and to open academy. Although it was a good thing, she would never agree.

The Empress Dowager said, "Since Wanjuanlou is so sure, those rare and unparalleled books in the future..."

Before the empress dowager finished speaking, the emperor interrupted her, "No matter who sells the rare books, it is all for me to open the academy. Since the empress dowager has already handed over to Xizizhai, let Xizizhai sell it in the future."

Jiang Wan stood there, wanting to laugh a little.

This time, Xizizhai snatched a hot potato or even couldn't even throw it away.

The Empress Dowager helped the Duke of the National Guard to grab the rare orphans. He got it. Now he wants to stop doing it. How could it be so cheap? Even if she and Qi Moyuan agree, the emperor will not agree. Who made him uninterested in protecting the National Guard?

Even though he knew that the emperor was supporting the back of Wanjuanlou, he still asked the empress dowager to put pressure on the emperor. Isn’t this obvious that he didn’t take the emperor seriously?

Thinking about Xizizhai, Jiang Wan felt distressed for the Duke of the People.

Wanjuanlou is opposite Xizizhai. The books are sold so cheaply. You can't think of making money in Xizizhai.

Although those rare and unspoken books will not be sold in the future, the prices have spread. Xizizhai is expensive, which is too unfair, but if you want to sell them cheaply, you will not only lose money, but also make no money.

What’s important is that the profit from selling orphan rare books must be paid to open a college, and the profit must be paid to lose money.

More importantly, Xizizhai cannot close its business in order to sell these rare and unsuccessful books...

It’s such a good location, I used it to open a study that can lose money. When I think about it, Jiang Wan couldn’t help but laugh.
