Accompanying Fang Zishi to live on the first floor for two days, Zuo Xiangling took him to familiarize himself with the environment, and told him about some of his recent situation and plans, Fang Zishi was already able to bargain with those vendors with ease, and in the face of Fang Zishi's three-inch tongue, those vendors were powerless.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiangling felt that the time was ripe, she had to go to see the emperor again, there were some things, she still had to have, so she went back to King Jing's Mansion that night and handed over the first floor to Fang Zishi.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xiangling followed Shangguan Feibai into the palace together, in order to let Zuo Xiangling sleep a little longer, Shangguan Feibai ordered someone to spread a mattress in the carriage, and he went to the morning court first, and then took Zuo Xiangling to the emperor to greet him.

With such an arrangement, Zuo Xiangling couldn't be happier, and fell asleep in the carriage.

When Shangguan Feibai came back to pick her up, she just woke up and was led by Shangguan Feibai towards the study.

Whenever they met pedestrians, the two subconsciously let go of each other's hands, after all, they were now different in identity and couldn't make any intimate moves in front of people, so they had to secretly hold hands.

When he arrived at the upper study, Shangguan Feibai exchanged a few words with Emperor Li Shaowu, and was rushed to greet the queen.

Only Zuo Xiangling and Li Shaowu were left in the huge hall, compared with the last time, Zuo Xiangling felt that he could finally straighten his waist and speak this time, and he was too flustered last time and walked the whole way with his head pouted.

"What did you think about coming to see me this time, don't you regret making this bet with me, I am so optimistic about you, this is how you repay me?"

Li Shaowu stood in front of the dragon case, glanced up at Zuo Xiangling slightly, and threw the fold in his hand on the case angrily, but he couldn't see that he was angry, but Zuo Xiangling still felt that he was instantly weak.

I thought about it and said.

"I will not live up to the emperor's expectations, everything is ready and ready to open at any time, but there are still a few things missing, so I came to the emperor."

Zuo Xiangling immediately made a dogleg shape and sneered.

As soon as Li Shaowu heard Zuo Xiangling say this, he recalled that Yang Ling had come to report before, Zuo Xiangling actually advanced 200,000 taels of silver tickets in the treasury, raised his stiff eyebrows, and sat on the dragon chair.

"Didn't you advance 200,000 taels last time, why, this time you want to advance the rest?"

There was a bit of a joke in these words, but Zuo Xiangling felt that Li Shaowu's expression didn't seem to be laughing, and she couldn't help but feel a little weak, after all, there was only so much money in the treasury.

"The 200,000 taels advanced last time is enough, but this opening still needs the help of the emperor, so that the business on the first floor can be booming."

As she spoke, Zuo Xiangling looked at Li Shaowu's expression with a little cunning, as if she was ready to ask for something.

The corners of Li Shaowu's mouth raised slightly, and he took a sip of tea and said.

"Tell me, why the hell did you come to me?"

In fact, he knew Zuo Xiangling's movements outside the palace, especially after the Jing Zhaoyin case, he sent secret guards to investigate, so he actually guessed when Zuo Xiangling returned to Jingwangfu yesterday.

Zuo Xiangling said slowly.

"That's right, the slave maid wants to ask His Majesty to inscribe the first floor, it would be nice to be able to stamp your seal."

Almost said it with a shy face, Zuo Xiangling was very worried in her heart, if Li Shaowu didn't even agree to this little request, then it would be even more impossible for her to ask for shares in the future. Free Chinese

I really didn't expect Zuo Xiangling to make such a request, as the emperor, Li Shaowu has other seals in addition to this jade seal, which is stamped casually, even if it is a blank piece of paper, it will become priceless.

If people know that there is his inscription on the first floor, or it is stamped, there will definitely be many people who patronize the first floor in order to see it, and they will know what kind of wishful thinking Zuo Xiangling is playing.

"You've got a good idea, but I'll do it."

I have to say that Zuo Xiangling's idea is very bold, first put forward such a bold gambling contract, and now he even blatantly asks for his inscription and seal.

Such an approach is not something that an ordinary woman can do, but this is not enough to enter his eyes, more or less because the treasury is really empty, and the battle with the Xiongnu is also imminent.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you for your protection for the soldiers guarding the frontier. It's just that the slave maid has one more thing to tell you, before that, please exempt the slave from the death penalty. ”

Zuo Xiangling made a big salute to Li Shaowu, but he didn't get up from the ground for a long time, and he didn't even raise his head.

Li Shaowu thought to himself what he was going to do, even if he said such a rebellious thing last time, he had never made such a big gift, and he always felt that Zuo Xiangling was digging a pit for him.

However, what else did he have to fear as an emperor, but he was more curious.

"Say, that you will not be condemned to death."

Waving his bright yellow sleeves, Li Shaowu looked at Zuo Xiangling with a curious expression.

Zuo Xiangling's eyes lit up, with a slight smile, she stood up and looked directly at Li Shaowu, her eyes were firm and abnormal.

"If I complete the bet with you, I want sixty percent of the income from the first floor, and the remaining forty percent will be directly charged to the treasury to continue to contribute to the prosperity of the Chu State."

As soon as these words came out, Zuo Xiangling obviously felt the change in the momentum of Li Shaowu's body, and the feeling of coercion was stronger, not one or two points, looking at her eyes were unfathomable, as if he wanted to guess her thoughts.

If ordinary ministers didn't say a word, they would have knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes again and again.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Zuo Xiangling continued.

"Please also ask the emperor to be considerate of me, the wages of all the workers on the first floor can still be included in this sixty percent, besides, this is not to tax the state, this back and forth, plus the money I procure, I can't make much."

Zuo Xiangling had a heart-wrenching expression on her face, slightly with a little melancholy, as if she was reluctant.

Li Shaowu was successfully amused by Zuo Xiangling's expression of loving money like life, but the deep meaning in his eyes did not retreat.

"Hahaha, you have the conditions for the talks, since it has been said that this is the part, if you can really complete the gambling contract and return from the victory, it will not hurt to promise you."

It seems that Zuo Xiangling has the lion's share, but in fact, Li Shaowu also knows that he is a prostitute for nothing, and in the final analysis, he can't lose.

"Really?"

Zuo Xiangling seemed to be in disbelief, and looked at Li Shaowu with wide eyes, the expression of surprise was very amused, looking at the fact that the facial features were crowded together, but it was so much that people wanted to laugh when they saw it.

"Seriously, you don't have any jokes."
