Chapter 10 Happy Cooperation
Shen Qingyun looked out through the gap in the curtain on the carriage window that was raised by the wind, without saying a word, her long eyelashes covering her vision, making people not know what she was thinking.
Xiahou Yuanzhi also didn't speak, he still couldn't figure out Shen Qingyun's temper, and it was not easy to deceive people, if he angered Shen Qingyun all of a sudden, it would be worth the loss.
The carriage quickly stopped at the door of the gambling house, Shen Qingyun hooked the corners of her mouth again, and her eyes entered the gambling house with a slight cold light.
The gamblers in the gambling house naturally knew Xiahou Yuanzhi, needless to say Shen Qingyun, the first two times she smashed the field, the same way she played the game had already impressed everyone. As soon as the two of them came in, a gambler greeted him and opened his mouth with a smile: "Your Highness, Miss Shen, are you here today to find our boss?" ”
"He's not here, is he?" Shen Qingyun looked upstairs, and then asked the gambling attendant blocking in front of him.
The gambler's face froze for a second, then looked at the two nobles in front of him and nodded, "Yes, our boss is not here now, so it's better for the two of you to come back later." ”
"It's okay, we can wait if he's not there, he'll be back sooner or later." Shen Qingyun smiled and walked upstairs with a nonchalant smile, she wanted to see how long Nan Wuyue could hide.
The gambler couldn't stop him and could only resign himself to retreating, just afraid that he would do it in vain again this month.
The two went upstairs, and it was empty. Shen Qingyun looked around, she didn't believe that Nan Wuyue was really not there, she was afraid that she was still in the room invisible.
Shen Qingyun sat down casually, "Your Highness, you guys won't be colluding, so Nan Wuyue slipped away before we came?" ”
"This hall has been with you just now, how can it be colluding." Xiahou Yuanzhi opened his mouth stupidly, of course he had to report the news, otherwise what if Nan Wuyue broke off his friendship with him.
"Your Highness, you won't leave the palace without anyone. I'm not welcome, but I'm not stupid. Isn't today's incident a complicity of you? Nan Wuyue helped spread rumors, and His Highness rushed to be a good person today. Shen Qingyun didn't want to go around the bush with Xiahou Yuanzhi, she knew in her heart that Xiahou Yuanzhi had a reason to cooperate with her, even if she didn't agree with Xiahou Yuanzhi, she would find another opportunity.
Rather than being forced to agree to cooperate with him when she was finally cornered, it is better to agree when they find it themselves, now that the initiative is greater, she can win more conditions for herself.
"Miss Shen really has a seven-trick exquisite heart." Xiahou Yuanzhi generously admitted that he had already been seen through anyway, and there was nothing to hide.
Shen Qingyun smiled lightly, at this time, someone had already brought the freshly brewed tea over and poured a cup for the two of them. Shen Qingyun looked at the teacup and came up with a plan in her heart, "Yo, your boss's vision is really good, this set of cups is a good mutton fat jade." ”
But in the next second, Shen Qingyun shook his hand and dropped the cup in his hand directly to the ground, breaking it in half. "Oops, I'm really sorry, the cup was too hot just now and I accidentally didn't hold it, Nan Wuyue won't be angry, right?" Shen Qingyun looked at the cup on the ground, and raised his head a little embarrassed to look at Xiahou Yuanzhi.
"How could it be, of course he wouldn't be angry about a cup." Xiahou Yuanzhi was already frozen in place, but he still spoke with difficulty to comfort Shen Qingyun.
"That's good." Shen Qingyun smiled and sat back down.
Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at the girl's triumphant smile and knew that she did it on purpose, but she didn't want to drop this cup if she didn't want to fall. Nan Wuyue has always liked this kind of jade, as long as he sees the glass or something, he can't walk, but now he has broken it, and Nan Wuyue won't kill him when he comes back.
"Last time I had dinner with Nan Wuyue at the Treasure Pavilion, His Highness was there, right?" Shen Qingyun asked Xiahou Yuanzhi with a smile.
"It was just a coincidence." Xiahou Yuanzhi didn't dare to admit it as generously as he did just now, if he recognized it, this little aunt didn't know what else to do.
"Really?" The smile on Shen Qingyun's face disappeared instantly, although the expression on her face was quite calm, but Shen Qingyun had been blown up by Nan Wuyue, originally she just deceived Xiahou Yuanzhi casually, wanting to see if she guessed correctly, but she didn't expect to be really guessed by her, it turned out that Nan Wuyue had already begun to calculate her at that time.
"Gee, what is this, this is the first time I've seen a bottle made of glass. It's so pretty. Shen Qingyun turned around and saw a glass vase not far away, which was very beautiful, and he was about to reach out to get it.
"This, I advise you not to touch it. Nan Wuyue's most precious vase, if he falls, he doesn't know what he can do. Xiahou Yuanzhi saw Shen Qingyun's outstretched hand and immediately spoke, blocking in front of Shen Qingyun.
"Why are you so nervous, I just want to see that vase, who said I was going to drop it. After all, it's boring for just the two of us. Shen Qingyun tilted her head and looked innocent.
Xiahou Yuanzhi pursed his lips slightly, as if he was thinking about how to make Shen Qingyun give up the idea of playing this vase, but when he saw Shen Qingyun's innocent eyes, he actually had an illusion, feeling that Shen Qingyun really would not do anything irreparable.
"I think as long as we stay here in Nan Wuyue, we won't come back, I think I'll go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first." Shen Qingyun shrugged helplessly, then turned around and planned to leave.
"Isn't Miss Shen still having questions that she hasn't asked, so she won't ask?" Xiahou Yuanzhi spoke out to stop him, secretly saying in his heart that Shen Qingyun was cunning, Shen Qingyun knew that he would not agree to her leaving, so he deliberately did so.
"Your Highness, I said the first time we met, I don't like to make friends. So there are some things that I don't know, but I don't have an interest in knowing. Shen Qingyun opened her mouth, but did not stop. Persistence is the only way she can win some benefits for herself now, if she easily agrees to Xiahou Yuanzhi's request, then she will really become a pawn of Xiahou Yuanzhi in the future.
"The vase is for you." Xiahou Yuanzhi was forced to have no choice, so he had to compromise and grabbed the vase and put it in front of Shen Qingyun.
Shen Qingyun stopped, raised his eyes and looked at Xiahou Yuanzhi taking the vase. "Nan Wuyue, if you don't come out again, I will really drop it." Shen Qingyun spoke coldly.
He lifted the vase in his hand and prepared to fall to the ground.
"Grandma accepted the ......" Sure enough, Nan Wuyue immediately rushed out and looked at Shen Qingyun with pleading eyes, raising her hands high, ready to catch the vase at any time as soon as it fell, God knows that when Shen Qingyun dropped the cup just now, he was so distressed that he almost committed suicide.
"I thought you could hold back." Shen Qingyun smiled, then angrily threw the vase towards Nan Wuyue, turned around and sat down again.
Nan Wuyue hurriedly caught the vase, then looked left and right, and was relieved to make sure it was okay, but she was reluctant to let go, as if she would be snatched by someone else as soon as she let go.
"Now that everyone has arrived, some words should be made clear, what is Your Highness looking for me for? Qingyun didn't think that she could help His Highness in any way. Shen Qingyun put away the smile on her face, looked at the other two and asked.
"This temple just wants to help you, don't you want to avenge your mother?" Xiahou Yuanzhi returned to his previous state and answered Shen Qingyun's question rationally.
But Nan Wuyue on the side secretly screamed that it was not good, and it really wouldn't work to let Xiahou Yuanzhi, a wooden stake, deal with a girl with aura like Shen Qingyun.
Sure enough, as Nan Wuyue expected, Shen Qingyun looked at Xiahou Yuanzhi for a while before he hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a slight sarcasm, "Your Highness, if you really want to cooperate with me, you should be honest." Your Highness should know that even if I can avenge my mother without you, if Your Highness has investigated me in advance, you should know that the current Shen Qingyun is no longer the Shen Qingyun of the past.
If Your Highness is not sincere, then I will treat today's incident as if it never happened. In the future, please don't come to me again. Shen Qingyun felt angry for no reason, she felt that Xiahou Yuanzhi was playing tricks on her.
"Qingyun, Qingyun, don't be like this. He can't speak, he hasn't coaxed girls, so don't worry about him. Nan Wuyue hurriedly stepped forward to appease Shen Qingyun, who had fried her hair, and then turned her head to Xiahou Yuanzhi and threatened: "Third Highness, can I trouble you to speak well, I can sacrifice a lot for your cooperation." ”
Xiahou Yuanzhi had no choice but to put down his body. Although he himself can also reduce the trouble caused by the prime minister, he himself is time-consuming and laborious, and it is not as cost-effective as the combination of inside and outside.
"Miss Shen, I apologize for my attitude just now. In fact, even if I don't say it, you should have guessed that the Prime Minister's Mansion has always stood in the position of the eldest prince, so I hope that Miss Shen can cooperate with me, so that not only can I clear the obstacles, but also avenge you. Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at Shen Qingyun and spoke.
"And how does Your Highness plan to thank me?" Shen Qingyun was quite satisfied with this explanation, so she went straight to the next question.
She has to think about her future life, after all, if the prime minister is really overthrown, then the economic resources of the prime minister's mansion will be completely gone, and she doesn't know when she will be able to recover her mana, so she has to make all preparations.
"Thank you, since Miss Shen has already put it forward, it means that she already has what she wants, so it's better to listen to it." Xiahou Yuanzhi looked at Shen Qingyun and spoke.
"I haven't figured out what I want yet, but naturally His Highness can bear it." Shen Qingyun tilted her head and thought about it, she originally wanted to ask for a little more money, so that at least she wouldn't starve to death in the future, but she thought about it again, and now she already has a few shops in her hands, and if they are run properly, the money they make is enough for her to squander. So it's better to be conservative and see what is lacking before making a decision.
"Okay, deal." Xiahou Yuanzhi agreed happily this time, and nodded almost without much thought.
The cooperation between the two was carried out in such a hurry, and neither of them thought that they would be so grateful to their current selves in the near future.
