Astute Princess: Married to be the Empress Novel - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Great Business Opportunity
“If you are truly wronged in the future, or if you don’t want to spend time with him, you can come back to find me at any time. This is your mother’s home. If anyone dares to neglect you, even if I give up everything, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life.” As he said this, Fu Yingran looked at Nalan Jinhong with hatred in his eyes. After all, he was Huyan Mingshuo’s elder brother. He was also a member of the Ye Lan royal family and a descendant of the same ancestor. He must have the same virtue. Therefore, such a warning was necessary.

This was Fu Yingran. When protecting a person, she could use everything she had. Similarly, if she wanted to destroy a person, she could also ignore the consequences.

After Nalan Jinhong heard this, he couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. Who exactly was this Fu Yingran? Why couldn’t he hide anything from her? At first, his purpose in coming here was to visit Jin’er. After arriving here, he heard that Huyan Haze was also here. Only then did he want to try his luck and see if he could turn Huyan Haze back to Ye Lan.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yingran put it on his face and said, On the other hand, he was a little embarrassed. However, after hearing her say that she had promised Jin’er to him, he couldn’t help but be overjoyed. He thought that with Jin’er’s ability in business, he would definitely be able to help him in many aspects in the future. This was a great thing. However, after listening to her final warning, Nalan Jinhong’s heart was like 15 buckets of water.

The two lived, Some stumbles were inevitable. It wouldn’t be easy to get rid of any grievances. Fortunately, he was sincere to Jin’er in his heart. In the future, even if someone was wronged, he would protect Jin’er as much as possible. Besides, Jin’er wasn’t a brainless person. She shouldn’t run to Tianshui Country without moving.

Thus, he immediately assured the two of them, “Now that you have spoken, Then this king has nothing to say, This king can tell you clearly now, “Just like you said, with Jin’er’s current status, she really can’t be this king’s princess. Even being a side princess is a bit reluctant. However, this king can assure you that in my side palace, this king will do my best to leave a free space for her so that no one will disturb her. This is also the only promise I can make.”

This was indeed the maximum he could afford, He wasn’t Huyan Mingshuo, He couldn’t afford to give her a promise. He was afraid that he would also say that he couldn’t do it like Huyan Mingshuo. Because of their identities, they were destined to be unable to do whatever they wished. The only thing he could agree to was to let her become the most special existence in his life. Since he couldn’t give her the only one, then let her be irreplaceable.

‘”Yes, I know that this is the best outcome. I just hope that you can say it. Alright, it’s getting late now. You still need to bring the soldiers back to Ye Lan. I won’t let you stay any longer. You should leave quickly. After all, you are still on the march. As the commander-in-chief, leaving the army for too long is easy to arouse suspicion.”

Afterwards, she handed Jin’er’s hand to Nalan Jinhong. He said reluctantly, “Go, live a good life. You can’t force yourself to stand out in the future. You must know that you can’t be too cowardly when shooting a bird. Remember that people are good at being bullied and horses are riding. We treat everything with a calm mind. If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. Even if they offend me, they will definitely be punished. If they want to come back, they will come back and take a look.”

Just as she finished speaking, Jin’er immediately knelt in front of her and said with tears flowing down her face, “Thank you, Consort Crown Prince for your kindness. This servant will remember. This servant will leave now. Consort Crown Prince, take care of yourself in the future.”

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked out of Tianshui Imperial Palace without looking back. She knew that this result was already the Crown Princess’ greatest grace. Because of her betrayal, the Crown Princess no longer had her place beside her. Today, she had no choice but to leave this place. It was very embarrassing for her to leave like this. How could she face returning in the future?

Seeing that Jin’er had left, Nalan Jinhong also dealt with Ying Ran and said, “Thank you for your kindness. Goodbye.”

After saying that, he also followed Jin’er’s footsteps and left the imperial palace of the Tianshui Kingdom, heading all the way to the imperial capital of Ye Lan. He thought to himself, as long as he returned to the imperial capital, he would immediately hand over his resignation to Huyan Mingshuo. From then on, he would be free.

After the two of them left, Fu Yingran’s expression became serious. He immediately instructed the people outside the door, “Someone, go and find Zhou Qing immediately. Tell me that I have something to look for him.”

“Yes, Empress Dowager, this servant will go immediately.” The palace maid at the door answered and turned to leave.

Not long after, Zhou Qing hurriedly pushed the door open and walked straight to Fu Yingran and asked, “May I know why the Empress Dowager came to find her subordinate?”

Since the Tianshui Kingdom had already announced to the world that Huyan Haoze was the new emperor of the Tianshui Kingdom, then Fu Yingran, as the mother of the new emperor, was naturally the Empress Dowager of the Tianshui Kingdom. Therefore, since Huyan Haoze arrived in the Tianshui Kingdom, everyone had changed their name to Empress Dowager.

Although the edict clearly stated that Fu Haose, But no one called him that, Everyone still tacitly acknowledged that he was still Huyan Haze, Fu Yingran didn’t care about this either. As for addressing this thing, it was originally just a false name. If others really respected you, regardless of your status, they would respect you respectfully. If it was just a perfunctory remark, then even calling you the Emperor and Lao Zi would only be a symbol.

Of course, there were a few people, She even stubbornly called her the Crown Princess, Most of the people who addressed her as the Crown Princess did not want Tianshui Country to be independent, just like Nalan Jinhong. Fortunately, Fu Yingran did not care much about addressing her as such, so he did not care about them. He could address her as they wished. In any case, this did not affect her decision.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Qing rushing in, Fu Yingran casually pointed to the seat beside him and said to him, “It’s not a big deal. Let’s sit down first.”

Seeing her calm expression, Zhou Qing calmly said, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.” Then he sat down on a chair beside Fu Yingran and waited for him to speak.

After Zhou Qing sat down, Fu Yingran then said, “This palace is looking for you now, It’s not a big deal, There’s a lot of money waiting for us to earn, Just now, Nalan Jinhong came over. There was also a message, He said that in the current capital of Ye Lan, there are people everywhere who are busy marrying daughters and buying pretending dignitaries. However, because we have already closed our doors and are no longer doing business, they are currently holding large amounts of money in their hands, but they can’t find anything to buy. They have already reached a situation where there is no market and some families are even starting to rob the homes of ordinary people.

Therefore, this palace feels that this is a great business opportunity, They have money, We have the goods. If we open up the shops in Ye Lan Imperial Capital and do business with these people, not only will we be able to earn a lot of money, we will also be able to seize this opportunity to separate the affiliated relations of other countries with Ye Lan. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Besides, watching the Imperial Capital of Ye Lan celebrate like this without doing anything will make me panic.

So this palace wants to bring you here to discuss. Let’s see if we can open up the shops in the capital of Ye Lan first, and then increase the price by 30%. We’ll see what happens later. Remember that only one item is allowed to be sold. Those with the highest price will get it. Since they have money, then we’ll make money. Let’s not care what Huyan Mingshuo thinks about it.

Now that all these women had their heads sharpened and were about to enter the palace, It is an indisputable fact that he did not stand out to oppose him in order to become his woman. Since they dare to openly snatch people from this palace and shamelessly want to seize the fruits that this palace has worked hard to obtain for so many years, then why can’t this palace reach into their pockets to pay for some flowers? “If we don’t kill them now, it won’t be like this palace’s style. What do you think?”

Looking at Fu Yingran’s smile, Zhou Qing’s back unconsciously went numb. Oh my God, this Eldest Miss is too scary. It looks too seepy. They say that she can’t kill anyone. This matter of hers is going to make people peel off their skin alive.

Think about it, these women are all married to the same person, and they are also the lofty Emperor Yelan. It can be seen that this desire to compete is self-evident. But now, she only allows one item to be sold for each item, and the highest bidder is allowed to obtain it. Isn’t it obvious that she wants to steal money? Moreover, she had to let others willingly come to her door and let her rob her. She wanted to make others feel unspeakable, so she could only swollen her face and become a fatty.

Wasn’t there something hard to say after that? All of these women entered the palace together, and the Emperor only had one. Who didn’t want to make a splendid scene, so that Huyan Mingshuo would look at her differently? However, at this moment, everyone was standing on the same starting line, The only way Huyan Mingshuo could remember them, After all, the treasury of Ye Lan was very empty, so no matter which woman’s family was to be married, they had to use all their wealth to buy a conspicuous dowry for their daughter. They only hoped that Huyan Mingshuo would look up to their daughter and ensure the glory of their entire family.

Therefore, Fu Yingran’s actions were really adding fuel to the fire. It was accelerating the economic collapse of Yelan Imperial Capital. Once these families had used up all the goods in her possession, it would be equivalent to the wealth of those officials of Yelan Imperial Capital being handed over to her. After the Imperial Concubine Na ceremony, the money in Yelan Imperial Capital would be even more scarce. That way, it would be even more difficult for Yelan to become stronger.

Zhou Qing was extremely fortunate now. Fortunately, the person who offended her wasn’t him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how to die. Fortunately, Fu Yingran was his master. As long as she had a bowl of meat to eat, she would definitely have a bowl of soup to drink.

So he adjusted his mentality and said, “What the Empress Dowager said is true. This is indeed a great business opportunity. We can turn the pot full, but we can also deal a good blow to the Ye Lan royal family. We can also make them suffer. The Empress Dowager is easy to plan, so this subordinate will go down and arrange it.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked away. Not long after, Fu Yingran’s cursing voice sounded, “You damn Zhou Qing, how dare you mock this palace? Do you believe that the next person this palace will deal with is you?”

Ever since she brought her child to Tianshui Country alone, Everyone in the entire Tian Yi Village treated her as their own family. Normally, she would not talk or laugh, just like their siblings. It was only when they talked about the right time that she was the lofty Empress Dowager of the Tian Shui Kingdom, and her orders were irresistible.

So for the rest of the time, The capital of Ye Lan became even more lively. From the second day after Nalan Jinhong left Tianshui Kingdom, all the shops in Ye Lan’s Imperial Capital had opened to do business normally. At the same time, Fu Yingran’s orders had been carried out thoroughly. Each item was really only sold for one item, and the highest bidder had obtained it. Therefore, many people could be seen frantically snatching one item from every corner of the Imperial Capital.

After seven or eight days, Minister of Household Affairs Lan Zheng could no longer sit still. Early in the morning, he instructed his servants to prepare a sedan chair and rushed to the Crown Prince’s Mansion. He wanted to take advantage of Huyan Mingshuo’s absence to block his way to the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

When he rushed to the entrance of the Crown Prince’s Mansion, luckily, Huyan Mingshuo hadn’t had time to leave. After the communication, he finally saw Huyan Mingshuo. Now, his heart was extremely anxious, and he couldn’t care less about being unreasonable. He walked in and sat down on the stool opposite Huyan Mingshuo.
