691. 690 You are the front desk manager, and I am the boss behind the scenes
She immediately lost her breath:
"What's wrong with me being the queen? The queen has to be rigid and rigid in the palace for the rest of her life? Won't the queen be able to do what she wants? It stands to reason that I am the queen, and isn't the queen more able to do what she wants? β
always presses her with the identity of the queen, if she wasn't reluctant to give him up to him, she would have been able to abandon him a long time ago!
Besides, if people outside knew that it was the queen who opened a clothing store in Jintan City, why not rush to buy it? Thinking about that scene, her saliva is about to flow out!
"It's because you're the queen that you can't do whatever you want."
"Why?"
She withdrew her hand and asked him angrily.
He turned, sat upright facing forward, and muttered for a moment before he said:
"An official is an official, the people are the people, and those who serve the officials must do things for the people, not exploit the interests of the people."
"Okay, even if you're right, but I'm doing business above board, how can I just squeeze the interests of the people?"
She thought for a moment, and then said,
"Besides, I'm not an official, don't use those arguments to be officials to set rules for me, I don't accept it."
"You are not an official, but your man is the biggest official in the world."
His dark gaze came, and she opened her mouth and said nothing.
On the way back, she bit her lip and didn't talk to him again, although she admitted that he was partially right, but she also had her own reasons, and she would never compromise completely.
Just think of the beautiful ready-to-wear clothes in her tailoring workshop, women's, men's, children's, and put them in the shop, and it is better to find a few more beautiful women as models, such a scene is already exciting just thinking about it, how can she give up so easily?
The disguise tool is in his hand, the last time he was in the East Warm Pavilion, he said that if he wants to get her disguise tool back, he has to exchange it for herself, and he can only exchange it for one at a time, dozens of bits and pieces of tools, when will she be able to change it?
Thinking and pondering all the way, before I knew it, I had returned to the palace.
After lunch, Xiao wanted to stay in Jingci Palace to rest, full of lust and lust, from his face and his eyes, she could see his bursting desire, but thinking of his performance in the carriage, she pushed him out mercilessly.
He stood outside the door and didn't want to leave, but because there were subordinates in the way, he could only lean against the door and whisper a threat:
"Don't you want a son?"
She sneered inside the door, and said:
"My mother is in a bad mood now, and she can't give birth to a son!"
In a bad mood, he naturally knew why, and knew that he wouldn't open the door for him if he didn't promise her, but on the matter of principle, he said yes, and in the end he could only walk away.
Seeing that he was really gone, Lin Ling'er secretly ordered someone to find Zhu Guli.
Since returning to Tiansheng, Lin Ling'er's status is obvious to all, and Zhu Guli, as her senior brother, will naturally not be treated badly.
It's just that there are still some big discrepancies from what he thought.
He originally thought that with Lin Ling'er's identity, how could he be mixed with an official and a half-position, shaking the majesty of the queen's senior brother.
But who would have thought that Tuoba Jiuxiao was very cold, and he didn't give him any chance at all, and now he is just the existence of the queen's senior brother, nameless and powerless, Tuoba Jiuxiao gave him a set of mansions, three courtyards, but not small, in a good corner of Jintan City, he was given a good fortune every month, and the eyes were very simple, because he had protected the queen in the past four years, and there was nothing else.
He lived the life of a rice worm in this big Jintan City, and he was at ease, but he was stagnant from his goal, and he never took a step.
As for Lin Ling'er, because he was busy with his own affairs, he had no heart and lungs, and rarely called him into the palace, and today he suddenly sent someone to call him, he was flattered, and he deliberately dressed up before leaving, thinking that there would be some happy events.
In the palace, Zhu Guli relied on the fact that he was the only senior brother of the queen, and deliberately took out a little bit of the style of the uncle of the country, walked with a swagger, and came to Jingci Palace with his head held high.
After saluting the queen, Lin Ling'er gave him a seat and told him that he didn't have to be restrained, they hadn't seen each other for a few days, and this time he was just a common talk.
"How is Senior Brother doing? What do you do on a daily basis? β
Lin Ling'er asked with a smile.
Zhu Guli was envious when he saw that she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and lived in such a big palace.
Look at himself again, no matter where you look at it, he is just a flat-headed little common man, and he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the emperor's relatives, the only difference is that he holds the court and doesn't have to support himself.
Sighing, he said:
"Alas, I'm just a small citizen, what can I do? On weekdays, it's just three meals a day, two nights a day, and there's nothing to do. β
Lin Ling'er heard that he seemed to be a little bored, but she also understood Tuoba Jiuxiao's thoughts, he didn't want anyone to rely on the prestige of the lord of the country to make a fortune outside, especially Zhu Guli has always been just a small businessman, not suitable for being an official at all, so he would rather raise him than cause trouble to the court and the people.
She smiled:
"Senior brother, people know that you have nothing to do, you can eat three meals a day, sleep peacefully twice a day, compared to those people who run around for a living all day long, you don't know how many times better. You tell me? β
After all, the queen is the queen, no one dares to offend, and Zhu Guli, a businessman who is used to seeing other people's faces, can tell the weight of the matter, so he immediately accompanied the smiling face:
"The queen is right, she is right, the senior brother can live a worry-free life like today, thanks to the queen, it is the great blessing of the lord and the queen!"
Lin Ling'er smiled silently, took a sip of tea and continued:
"But...... Since Senior Brother feels that there is nothing to do, and life is a little boring, why don't I help you find something to do? β
Zhu Guli's eyes lit up when he heard this, it seems that he didn't wear this beautiful dress in vain today, and sure enough, something good happened to come to the door!
Before Lin Ling'er could say anything, he couldn't wait to stand up and express his determination:
"As long as it is ordered by the queen, the little people will do their best to go to the soup and go to the fire, and they will not give up."
Lin Ling'er almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, waved her hand and said:
"Senior brother, you scared me, I am now in the position of queen, why do you need to go to the soup and fire? It's not that serious. β
It's better if it's not serious, Zhu Guli thought to himself, but when Lin Ling'er said this, his heart immediately fell into the abyss again.
"I'm ......"
Lin Ling'er just wanted to speak, but she ran to the door and looked out carefully, making sure that Tuoba Jiuxiao would not come, she ran back and continued,
"I want to continue to open our Lingxi Fang in Jintan City, but you also know my identity, queen, it's not good to go out to do business and make people's money, but you also know that I am an idle person, and I have accumulated so many ready-to-wear clothes here, I am not willing to take them out to sell and try the water of Jintan City. So I'm going to leave the opening of the store to you, you are the front desk manager, and I am the boss behind the scenes, how about it? β
Zhu Guli's heart suddenly turned cold, just now he patted his chest and said that he would go all out, thinking that she was going to give him a petty official, who would have thought that she would let him continue to do the previous business, so what is the difference between him and the small trader who ran around all day before?
went around in a circle, but it turned out to be back to square one.
He hung his head in frustration, was it because of what he had done that he had received such retribution?
Just thinking about it, he saw Lin Ling'er suddenly pick up a thin bamboo stick in his hand and play with it, he looked at it, wasn't this one of the disguise tools she lost? There are two white feathers tied to the end of this bamboo stick, and the name of "Lin Canghai" is engraved on the bamboo stick, how can it be in her hand?
"Queen, have you found thisβthis tool?"
He just wanted to sit down, but before his butt was next to the stool, he stood up tremblingly, pointing to the bamboo sticks and feeling the urge to cry.
Lin Ling'er didn't notice his abnormality, he was still playing back and forth with his left and right hands, nodded and said:
"yes, it's back. I think I almost searched through Taoyuanju and couldn't find its whereabouts, but now someone took the initiative to send it back to me. β
"Sent, sent back? Who? β
Zhu Guli's face was a little pale, and his legs were soft, as if he could fall down with a slight poke.
"Who?"
How did Lin Ling'er know what he had done, he deliberately raised his eyebrows at him and sold Guanzi,
"Guess?"
It didn't matter this time, Zhu Guli was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Lin Ling'er was very surprised, and also stood up from the chair:
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?"
"The queen forgives her sins, the queen forgives her sins......"
It didn't matter what Lin Ling'er said, he couldn't resist it.
"Forgiveness?"
Lin Ling'er muttered and repeated these two words, although she didn't know why Zhu Guli was like this, but since he showed his feet, she might as well follow the vine and touch the melon.
"If you invite you truthfully, I will spare you, if not......"
Her face became serious, and she sat down slowly, throwing out threatening words.
Zhu Guli wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said it after hesitation:
"Here's the thing......"
It turned out that when Amori deceived her and planned to forcibly take her back to the palace in the small town of Sinan, she resisted with a hunger strike, and Amoli couldn't resist her distress after all, and decided to let her go.
But just let her go, he was unwilling, because he knew Zhu Guli's details, so he asked Zhu Guli to steal her disguise tools, and forced him to change the maid Xiangxue who was serving by her side at that time into her appearance, and then let them go.
Amoli left her disguise tool at that time, and Zhu Guli said that he did it because he didn't want her to change her face again, and he had always had illusions about her, he fantasized that she and Tuoba Jiuxiao couldn't get together, and if he had the opportunity to go to her again in the future, he didn't want to be unrecognizable because she was disguised as someone else.
Even if they couldn't be together after all, he didn't want to be unrecognizable when they met by chance in the future.
