Chapter 360 Image
In the imperial study room, the emperor was reviewing the memorials.
Just after he finished placing one book, he picked up another one, and a young father-in-law stepped forward and said, "Emperor, Prince Jing'an is asking for a meeting."
"Xuan him comes in," the emperor did not raise his head.
When the young father-in-law retreated, the emperor frowned again. Why is Prince Jing'an still in Kyoto? Didn't he go to find Duke Jingguo?
Qi Moyuan stepped into the imperial study room and stepped forward to greet the emperor.
The emperor closed the memorial in his hand and looked at him and said, "You haven't gone to find your grandfather yet?"
Qi Moyuan looked at the emperor and said, "I have been there, I encountered an assassin on the way, and was poisoned and returned to Beijing."
Qi Moyuan's complexion was rosy. If he hadn't said he had been poisoned, the emperor would have never guessed it, "Is the poison cured?"
Qi Moyuan nodded.
The emperor was relieved that Qi Moyuan was the prince's son, and although Qi Moming was the same, Concubine Mei was the queen mother. Even if Qi Moyuan had poor martial arts, he would not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion. The emperor did not want the prince's military power to have any connection with the queen mother.
"It's fine, then you're going to the palace to look for me today?" The emperor was curious.
Qi Moyuan said truthfully, "Although I have returned to Beijing, I don't know why my grandfather came to me. The letter was delivered to me through the emperor. I think the emperor should know."
The emperor was surprised, "Don't you know what the Duke of Jingguo is going to ask you for? Didn't he say it in the letter?"
Qi Moyuan shook his head, "Grandfather only asked me to find him, and said nothing else."
The emperor smiled, "Duke Jingguo is rigorous."
The more rigorous he is, the more curious he is.
Since my grandfather has resigned from office and does not care about the government affairs, he is so close to the emperor. Why did he resign?
The emperor picked up the teacup on the table and gently fiddled with it, "But you guessed it long ago, and there is no need for Duke Yasukuni to explain it too clearly."
Qi Moyuan, “…???”
What did he guess?
Qi Moyuan looked at the emperor, "I didn't understand, please let the emperor make it clear."
Qi Moyuan looked puzzled, and the emperor was also confused.
Didn’t this kid guessed that he had trained a group of people in secret? Didn’t he guessed that this person was trained by Duke Yasukuni for him?
He was not the one whom Duke Jingguo trained him for him and would not care about the affairs of the Jing'an Prince's Mansion.
The emperor said, "Thank you for the hard work of all these years, your grandfather can't even go back to Kyoto. Since you guessed, I promise you to share the burden with one or two of your grandfather."
Of course, the emperor did not expect Qi Moyuan to help Duke Jingguo, but after all, he is the eldest grandson of Duke Jingguo's favorite. With his family around him, he felt somewhat of a comfort.
Qi Moyuan's brows frowned even deeper, and he always felt something was wrong.
Last time he called the emperor indirectly and asked the emperor if he had secretly trained a group of people, and the emperor admitted it.
But Nan Yuxuan has been in Kyoto for ten years, and his grandfather has only left Beijing in recent years. Moreover, all the servants of Nan Yuxuan are hidden in their hearts. They are definitely not something that can be trained in three or two years. Besides, Nan Yuxuan’s people are in Kyoto. Do my grandfather needs to train them?
Qi Moyuan looked at the emperor and had difficulty speaking, "Does the emperor know Nan Yuxuan?"
The emperor frowned, "This name sounds familiar."
He looked at Eunuch Chang.
Eunuch Chang looked at Qi Moyuan and said, "The prince asked about the shop, which is very big, but the business is very quiet. The jade ornaments inside are particularly ugly?"
"If so, then you have brought your servant to visit you."
Such a weird shop, it’s hard not to remember it.
The emperor said strangely, "How can you mention Nan Yuxuan?"
Qi Moyuan's head was sore. The emperor didn't even remember Nan Yuxuan. How could Nan Yuxuan be the emperor's person?
Nan Yuxuan lie to the sky with the courage to deceive them by leveraging the emperor's name.
Such a shameful thing caused the emperor to misunderstand. Qi Moyuan dared not tell the emperor truthfully, and Nan Yuxuan had also helped them. Isn’t the reason why he was fooled by Nan Yuxuan?
Qi Moyuan looked at the emperor and said, "Nan Yuxuan sold 10,000 taels to the prince's concubine. The prince's concubine is preparing to open a jewelry store..."
The emperor looked dark.
He was talking to him about the old Duke's affairs, how did he mention the opening of the shop? He really thought about it.
but……
Opening a shop is a good thing.
The emperor has already seen the ability of Prince Jing'an to make money. She opened Nanyuxuan, and the emperor believed that the business would not be bad.
It costs a lot of money to train people. Because it is secretly trained, the money cannot be allocated from the national treasury. Duke Jingguo sent letters several times to urge him, so he, the emperor, could not make money.
Now two little fat sheep are coming to the door, and the emperor cannot let someone slip away from him.
The emperor coughed lightly and ordered Eunuch Chang to say justice, "Pick a few jade craftsmen from the palace to send them to Nanyuxuan."
Eunuch Chang was a little confused.
What's wrong with the emperor?
Although the prince Jing'an and the prince's concubine have been asked for several times of contract, the emperor is not happy every time. He actually took the initiative to reward him today?
Could it be embarrassing that Prince Jing'an had this idea, so he spoke first?
But this is not the emperor's character.
Qi Moyuan looked at the emperor. He believed that there would be no pie falling from the sky. The emperor must have a deep meaning in this move. Now, the emperor spoke, "I want 30% of Nan Yuxuan's profit."
Qi Moyuan, “….”
Viewing building.
Jiang Wan was tinkering with herbal medicine, and the sound of tinkering with herbal medicine spread far away.
A sound of footsteps came, Jin'er pricked up her ears and said happily, "Girl, it's the footsteps of my son-in-law."
When Qi Moyuan went upstairs, Jiang Wan saw that he looked a little strange. The work in her hands slowed down and said, "What did the old Duke ask you for?"
Qi Moyuan didn't answer the conversation.
The old duke secretly trained people for the emperor, but the emperor told him because he misunderstood.
It would be better for him not to let Jiang Wan know about things that even his father didn't know.
He sat down and said, "The emperor knows that you want to open Nanyuxuan, so he has picked a few jade craftsmen for you."
Jiang Wan's eyes widened, "Is there such a good thing?"
"...No," Qi Mo said in a long distance.
"The emperor wants Nan Yuxuan to make 30% of the profit."
Jiang Wan grinned, and she guessed that it was not so cheap. She thought the emperor had taken up 70% of the profits of her papermaking workshop. She felt sorry for her and compensated her on Nan Yuxuan.
As the emperor, he is in the world and still staring at her three melons and two dates. It is not an exaggeration to be a master.
"Did you agree?" Jiang Wan's eyes shone with a dangerous light.
Qi Moyuan looked at her, "I told the emperor that the shop belongs to you, and I can't make the decision. The emperor said that this matter can be discussed."
Jiang Wan, “….”
Jiang Wan looked at Qi Moyuan, and Qi Moyuan couldn't believe that this was what the emperor could say. At that time, Eunuch Chang's eyes almost fell off.
But this is indeed what the emperor said. Although after that, the emperor changed his words, "No need to discuss".
But the bottom line has come out.
Qi Moyuan agreed that the emperor's previous sentence was an imperial edict, but as for the next sentence... he didn't hear it.
Jiang Wan's mouth twitched wildly, and she felt that this sentence had subverted the image of the emperor in her mind.
