The emperor was very surprised, Jiang Qiancheng actually gave a direct answer like this? Is this what he really thinks in his heart?

He looked at Jiang Qiancheng and said, "Everyone in the imperial city wants power, and they all want to sit in the position of the crown prince and wait for the future succession, why did you answer so firmly?" ”

"What my father said is a bit general, not all the people in the imperial city want to become the crown prince, and the sons are used to it, and they don't want to be the prince, they just want to return to the fiefdom as soon as possible."

The emperor was stunned, but suddenly smiled, if he wanted to return to the fiefdom at this time, it was impossible, if Jiang Qiancheng was not here to suppress those who were ready to move, he might not be able to sit firmly in the position of the emperor!

So the emperor smiled and said, "Why don't I make a deal with you, and after you listen to the conditions, you can decide whether you want to stay in the imperial city, how about it?" ”

Jiang Qiancheng raised his head and looked at the emperor, who had a smile on his face and looked very confident.

Jiang Qiancheng suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and subconsciously answered: "What kind of deal is my father talking about?" ”

"If you stay in the Imperial City to help me do things, I will let the girl you like become an imperial merchant, greatly improve her status, and ensure her safety in the name of the royal family."

Jiang Qiancheng subconsciously clenched his fists, and the more Qingming ...... It turned out that the emperor had always known about her, but he had never mentioned it before by pretending not to know!

The emperor also said: "You also know that it is very hard for her to open a restaurant in the imperial city as a foreigner, if there is no support, it is difficult to live in the imperial city unharmed, of course, I also know that she is the queen's daughter, but sometimes, the queen's words are not very effective, do you think what I said is right?" ”

“…… What does the father want his sons to help with? ”

"I want you to sit in the position of the crown prince of the East Palace, help me clear those villains with bad intentions, and help me consolidate my power!"

It turned out that it was this idea!

Jiang Qiancheng frowned, the emperor is indeed the emperor, and it is unrealistic for him to think about what benefits he wants here.

"As long as you promise, I promise that the girl you like will get everything she wants, including being with you."

"Is that true?"

"I, I will never break my word!"

"Good!" Jiang Qiancheng stood up violently: "If the father can issue an edict to prove this, the son will make this deal with the father!" ”

"Then it's a deal."

Jiang Qiancheng made a deal with the emperor, he didn't tell anyone, he didn't even tell Yue Qingming about his entry into the palace, and after leaving the palace, he went back to the palace directly, pretending that nothing had happened and continuing to deal with the affairs of the palace.

But Jiang Qianbai's eyeliner told Jiang Qianbai that Jiang Qiancheng had entered the palace, but Jiang Qianbai didn't need to know what they said for the time being, so he could only choose to wait and see.

The next day.

On the grounds that Mingyuelou's dishes are special and Yue Qingming is meritorious, the emperor directly issued a holy decree to make Yue Qingming an imperial businessman, and even the Yue family was crowned with the honor of an imperial businessman.

When Yue Qingming knelt to receive the order, the expression on her face was still very surprised, and it was Ruyi next to her who reminded her to come back to her senses before she pulled it out of her thoughts.

She looked at the holy decree in her hand, and only felt that this matter was a little untrue, although Mingyue Tower and the palace had done a lot of business, but she and the emperor had never met, so he gave the name of the imperial merchant to himself so casually?

After watching those people in the palace leave, Yue Qingming said: "Ruyi, I think there is something wrong with this matter. ”

"What's wrong?" Ruyi was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing?" Now that you are an imperial businessman, your status has been greatly improved, and even the Yue family's face is bright! ”

On the surface, this is indeed the case, but what Yue Qingming doesn't understand is why the emperor did this, he is not familiar with him!

Unless...... Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned, and a not very good idea popped up in his mind, unless it was Jiang Qiancheng and the emperor who said something, so as to exchange!

Yue Qingming hurriedly asked Ruyi: "Has Jiang Qiancheng entered the palace in the past few days?" ”

"I don't know, no one has sent news, it should be not."

"Impossible, he definitely entered the palace!"

Ruyi saw that Yue Qingming threw the holy decree directly to herself, but when she herself ran out in a hurry, she was at a loss, isn't it a good thing to become an imperial businessman? What is Yue Qingming so nervous about?

The place where Yue Qingming went was the Seven Kings' Mansion, but when she went, Jiang Qiancheng was not in the mansion.

Yue Qingming grabbed the passing Shanwu: "What about Jiang Qiancheng?" Why is he not in the palace? ”

"The prince was called out by the king of Nan'an County early in the morning, saying that he wanted to choose a husband for the princess Jiahe of Yan Kingdom, and now it should be in the Yan Country Post House, does Miss Yue have something important to find the prince?"

Yue Qingming didn't answer Shan Wu's words, but just took the carriage and went to the Yan Country Post House again.

When he saw Jiang Qiancheng, he was sitting in the room talking to Gu Shun and Princess Jiahe, Yue Qingming walked over directly and patted the table: "Jiang Qiancheng, I have something to say to you, you come out!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng got up very obediently and followed Yue Qingming to the outside of the house, Gu Shun and Princess Jiahe glanced at each other, and the two of them expressed their doubts, not knowing what Yue Qingming was doing here.

Yue Qingming asked Jiang Qiancheng: "Did you enter the palace after you left Mingyue Tower yesterday?" ”

"Yes."

"Then did you make some deal with the Emperor? Did you promise him anything? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"I just received a holy decree that I am now an imperial merchant!" Yue Qingming frowned tightly and looked at him unhappily: "Don't say you don't know about this matter!" ”

Jiang Qiancheng thought about it for a while, and didn't directly answer Yue Qingming's question, but just said: "It's a good thing to become an imperial businessman, your status in the imperial city in the future is self-evident, and no one will come to Mingyue Tower to ask for your trouble, isn't that good?" ”

"What I want to know is if you made some deal with the Emperor!"

Jiang Qiancheng sighed, knowing that this kind of thing must not be hidden, Yue Qingming, and finally chose to compromise, he said, "Yes." ”

Yue Qingming looked at him puzzled: "Why did you do that?" ”

"Agreeing to my father's conditions is a good thing for you and me, we are in the imperial city, and we need status and power to ensure our safety."

"Then we can get out of here, don't you have a fief?"

"Yue Qingming, do you think that without the consent of our father, we can leave the imperial city unharmed?"

“……”

"Moreover, the fief was given by him, and he can take it back at any time, and we have no better choice than that."
