Chapter 591: Protecting Your Man
Treating Bai Cao's reaction as a pregnancy syndrome, Bai Ling took more time to accompany Bai Cao, but did not take her worries to heart.
This time, Princess Yayang and her entourage took the official road, and the possibility of problems was extremely low.
In order to allow Shangguan Yu's injuries to heal as soon as possible, Bai Ling would occasionally take him into the space and treat him with spiritual spring water.
On the Han King's side, it was inconvenient for Bai Ling to do this, but every day when cooking in the Han Palace, Bai Ling would use spiritual spring water, and put some in their water tank, which could also speed up recovery.
In the peaceful days, the day of Princess Suya and her relatives is getting closer and closer, except for the general and prince candidates who sent off the relatives, other things have been decided.
As for Bai Ling, the legendary King Zhong has also entered Beijing.
"This loyal king, knowing that the emperor asked the prince to greet him, has ulterior motives, and he still puts on such a big score, isn't he afraid of dying too quickly?" In the private room of the restaurant, Bai Ling said.
Duan Yulang entered Beijing and invited Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu to meet in the restaurant.
It just so happened that the box where they were was was located, and the prince could see the scene of the prince welcoming King Zhong into the capital.
It stands to reason that when he sees the prince of a country, the loyal king should salute, but the prince did the junior salute, but the loyal king did not even show a little bit and completely ignored the attitude.
That is, the emperor can tolerate it, and the crown prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly in the future, and he will not let go of the loyal king.
"Maybe this is the strength of King Chung." Shangguan Yu only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and said with a deep meaning.
Bai Ling didn't notice Shangguan Yu's expression, and thought that he was mocking King Zhong, so he nodded and said, "King Zhong's fief, like the fief of the Han Palace, does not need to pay taxes to the imperial court. But the fiefdom is too peaceful, and the military consumption is low. has military power and is not short of silver, it is indeed very powerful. β
"Who said that there is no shortage of silver in the Zhongwang Mansion?" Duan Yulang shook the folding fan, leaned towards Bai Ling's side, and said in a low voice: "The consumption of the Zhongwang Mansion in a year is said to be more than that of the Imperial Palace. The ground of Zhongwang's Mansion is paved with jade, and even the thatched houses are built of gold, relying only on the taxes of the fiefdom, where is it enough to squander it so much. β
"Are you sure you're not talking about nouveau riche?" Bai Ling didn't believe it, and then muttered to himself: "Maybe I should think about it, and if I build a house in the future, I will use jade to pave the ground, and gold will be used as a thatched house, but it should still be quite a row when used as a gatehouse." β
"You're waiting to recruit a thief."
Duan Yulang said disdainfully: "Sure enough, he came from the countryside, and his knowledge is short." What the master said just now is a metaphor, do you understand the metaphor? In the palace of King Zhong, there are indeed a few rooms, and the ground is paved with jade, and even if other places want to use so much jade, it is not something that can be done with silver.
In short, the endless extravagance of the Zhongwang Mansion is the kind you can't imagine. Over the years, all those who have been to the Zhongwang Mansion have sighed that the Zhongwang Mansion is more luxurious than the palace, and how many people are proud of having been to the Zhongwang Mansion to see it. β
"What if you have money? He will always be under one person, and if he really wants that position, he is a rebel and thief. It's still a three-foot-wide place to sleep, and you can't take anything with you when you die. β
Bai Ling rolled his eyes, he really couldn't stand Duan Yulang's yearning look, and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Wake up, kid. As the future richest man in the Northland, you should take a long-term view, don't be like a dirt bun and daydream. β
"Sooner or later, I will build a house like that, and when the time comes, you will be envious." Duan Yulang grinned when he was beaten, but he didn't dare to fight back, so he had to say something angry.
"King Zhong is a prince, and if he built such a house, he was still suspicious of the emperor. If it were you, the emperor would probably find a random excuse to exterminate your family, and then those good things would just fill the treasury. β
Poured a cup of wolfberry and red date tea for Shangguan Yu, Bai Ling moved his chair in disgust, leaned against Shangguan Yu's side and said: "Shangguan, I suggest that you let people keep an eye on this goods for twelve hours, in case one day he is exterminated by the price difference, you can take the first step to transfer the property, and kill people by the way." β
"Okay." Shangguan Yu replied with a smile.
During this time, Bai Lingji was by Shangguan Yu's side, and he understood that Shangguan Yu was a patient, so he couldn't lose his temper at him, but had to let him go everywhere.
Now that he meets Duan Yulang, he naturally has to fight a few words, otherwise Shangguan Yu would have thrown Duan Yulang out a long time ago.
"There is no humanity of the opposite sex, Bai Ling's sentence is perfect for you." Duan Yulang said angrily.
"Your family affair is also scheduled for the beginning of the year, right?" Bai Ling suddenly asked.
"yes, what do you mean?" Duan Yulang asked defensively.
"Originally, there was a response to make money, and I wanted to cooperate with you, which was a congratulatory gift for you. Now, it seems, is not needed. Bai Ling shook his head and sighed lightly.
Duan Yulang was dumbfounded, the business he got was gone, just because he owed it?
"I was wrong." Duan Yulang immediately apologized, and said sincerely: "No matter what kind of business it is, I will let you make a profit, and I apologize to you." There are a lot of white girls, so forgive the little one this time. β
"I can do the business myself, why do you let Yicheng profit?" Bai Ling was unmoved.
"Good brother, I was cheap just now, you just treated me as a brother and I let out a fart, forget it after hearing it, don't be like me." Knowing that Bai Ling was standing up for Shangguan Yu, Duan Yulang immediately turned to Shangguan Yu's side.
"It's too late." Shangguan Yu didn't say anything about it, he took Bai Ling's hand and was about to get up, and arrogantly spit out two words, "Friend!" β
"Don't!" Duan Yulang immediately got up to stop him, and slapped himself symbolically, "I'm just a hobby, poor mouth." There is also a terrible drawback, like to earn silver. If you don't look at my face, you have to look at my father's face, can you give me a chance to change? β
Duan Yulang was extremely envious of Shangguan Yu, there was a woman who stood up for him, and he was arrogant at any time.
However, he has not yet married, and his fiancΓ©e is also a weak master, so he has no good luck in this life.
Bai Ling didn't plan to leave just like that, the main reason was that her man could only bully himself, so Duan Yulang had to pay a price for it.
"One and a half benefits, no two prices." Bai Ling gestured and said very seriously: "Don't say that I take advantage of you, just give me half of the profit you deserve." And it only takes one time. β
"Deal." Duan Yulang responded without hesitation.
The three of them sat down again, but they talked about business.
Although they are usually friends, when it comes to business sharing, no one will budge.
But they also know where the other party's bottom line is, so the negotiation is quite smooth.
Let's say that the prince personally welcomed King Zhong into the palace, which was supposed to give King Zhong face.
However, the arrogant attitude of King Zhong made the prince want to turn his face several times, and finally endured the anger in his belly, and simply beat the horse and walked in front, no longer having any communication with King Zhong.
After leading people to Cining Palace, the prince directly found a reason, knelt down to the queen mother and left the palace.
"The prince's temperament is due to the prince, and his brothers have to let him." King Chung said dissatisfiedly.
As soon as the emperor heard this, he knew what was going on, and his smile was a little fake.
"The prince has been a prince since he was a child, and his temperament is inevitably a little proud. Today is for our uncles and nephews to catch up on the old days, not to mention the affairs of the younger generations. The emperor waved his hand and said very intimately: "The queen mother has prepared lunch here, and the emperor uncle will have a few more drinks with me later." β
"If the old disease recurs, it is not advisable to drink alcohol." King Zhong refused very facelessly, and before the emperor's face darkened, he said: "I don't see Ruyi for more than a month, I heard that the girl has been in a bad mood recently, and the king will go back to Zhongwang's mansion today to eat, and then enter the palace to accompany the queen mother and the emperor to eat and drink in a few days." β
