In terms of patience, except for her brother and Yun Chi, Hua Yan didn't think anyone could be an opponent in front of her.

Therefore, Cheng Zixiao couldn't sit still after only drinking a cup of tea, and it was also expected by her, she held the tea cup and shook it gently, the tea flowed gently along the cup, she looked at Cheng Zixiao with a light smile, "I'm afraid I'm done, you don't want to eat this meal, it's better to eat first." ”

Cheng Zixiao suddenly narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom faces were full of inquiry, "Am I blocking the way of the crown princess?" Want to pull me out like a nail? ”

Hua Yan smiled, "That's not true." ”

Cheng Zi smiled, "Listen up." ”

Hua Yan put down the teacup, "You're probably tired of doing business in the Northland, right?" How about giving it to me? ”

Cheng Zixiao's face changed suddenly, "What do you mean by the crown princess?" ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly and said, "It's literal." ”

Cheng Zi stood up with a smile, gritted his teeth and said, "Forgive me, even if you are the crown princess." ”

Hua Yan looked at him with a smile, "I'll just say, Cheng Qigongzi asked first, I guess I don't want to eat this meal." ”

Cheng Zixiao's face turned black and stared at Hua Yan, "The princess is making a big joke." ”

Hua Yan shook her head, "I'm not joking with you. ”

Cheng Zixiao wanted to throw off his sleeves and leave, but he knew rationally that Hua Yan would not find him for no reason, and he suddenly remembered what An Sixteen had said to him, he said that he really wanted to visit the crown princess and give him some advice. An Sixteen persuaded him not to see him, saying that people like her, whoever sees it, will regret it for life. He raised his eyebrows at the time, and An Sixteen said that one day, you will know when you see it. Now, he really knew.

However, it was not he who took the initiative to find Hua Yan, but Hua Yan who found him, and this bad luck couldn't be avoided even if he couldn't hide.

He looked at Hua Yan, grinded his teeth with a black face and said, "The crown princess is trying to bully people with her identity?" Why do you want my business in the north, I want to hear about it, and I don't get tired of it. ”

Hua Yan looked at Cheng Zi and smiled, if she said that it was like a peach blossom earlier, now it is like a peach blossom with fried hair, she smiled and said, "Don't you like silver and like the capital?" Zhao Zaifu gave you a Chengcheng Huaihe Salt Road, and I will give you Sancheng, and use the Sancheng profit of the Huaihe Salt Road to exchange your business in the north, how about it? ”

Cheng Zixiao was stunned for a moment.

Hua Yan locked slowly, "The Huaihe Salt Road is a place of heavy business, which is tantamount to a battle for soldiers, and now that Zhao Zai's auxiliary is defeated, do you think you can still get the Huaihe Salt Road that he promised?" He has offended the Anyang Mansion now, although the Princess of Anyang has emptied the private treasury of his mansion, but this festival is not smoothed, no matter what the Zhao Mansion does in the future, the Princess of Anyang will not let him go smoothly, she will always stare at him, Zhao Zaifu is greatly injured this time, and he is not far from retreating, he can't support you anymore, the so-called people have to look at the heights, since Cheng Qigongzi has the heart of the Huaihe River Salt Road, he just doesn't want to nest in the north for the rest of his life, right? With the entire northland, in exchange for three percent of the Huai River salt road, if you consider it in the long run, you will not lose. ”

The blackness on Cheng Zixiao's face gradually dissipated, he was silent for a moment, looked at Hua Yan and pursed his lips, "I don't understand what the crown princess means, if I lose the northern land, I will have no foundation, what else can I use to operate the Huaihe Salt Road?" You're hollowing out my nest. ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly, "I only need the business in the Northland, and the money you have earned over the years, how much surplus you have, it is still yours." And the Huaihe Salt Road, I will also let the Hua family secretly help you gain a foothold, you know, if you want the Huaihe Salt Road, you are also an imperial businessman, and your hand will reach out to the capital, this world is so big, not only a land in the north, the richest man in the world may not be you in the future. ”

Cheng Zi's heart moved with a smile, staring at Hua Yan, "Although I don't know much about the Lin'an Hua family, but over the years, I am not very stupid, I think I can see it better than some clumsy people, with the identity of the young master of the princess Hua family, the identity of His Royal Highness the crown prince in the future, should not look down on those businesses in my north, but why do you have to take it?" Please make it clear to the crown princess. ”

Hua Yan smiled lightly, and her tone was fluttering, "This is simple, but there is nothing to say, the Northland has been a bit messy in recent years, I can't get used to it, I want to clean it up." But in the name of the Hua family, you will always cause trouble for your family, and your business in the Northland is all over the Northland, and I can use it as a pretext. ”

Cheng Zixiao is a smart person, if he is not smart, he will not open his business all over the Northland as a concubine, although he has the support of Zhao Zaifu, but he is not a mud that can't support the wall, so he immediately asked, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanting to rectify the Northland?" So, the crown princess wants to help His Royal Highness the crown prince, am I right? ”

Hua Yan looked at Cheng Zixiao with a different look, and smiled by default, "Cheng Qigongzi is smart, and dealing with smart people is to save worry and effort." ”

Cheng Zixiao's face was solemn, "The first thing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to deal with is the Cheng family, right?" ”

Hua Yan raised her eyebrows, "The Queen Mother is still alive, Cheng Qigongzi is too worried, His Royal Highness the Prince is filial, and the Queen Mother is old, he will not make the Queen Mother sad." ”

Cheng Zi smiled silently, and smiled for a moment, "Even if the Cheng family is moved, I don't have any opinion, looking at the big roots of the tree, in fact, the inside has long been rotten." ”

Hua Yan smiled, "So Cheng Qigongzi has made a decision?" Agreed? ”

Cheng Zixiao sat down again, "It seems that I have no reason to disagree." ”

Hua Yan gently knocked on the table, "Okay, that's it." Tomorrow, I will let the sixteenth to dock with Cheng Qigongzi, and there is no need to find the yamen to transfer the deed or something, what I want is the identity of Cheng Gongzi, the owner is still you, but all the claims of the north land, you have to listen to me. ”

Although Cheng Zixiao was reluctant, he decisively felt that doing business with the crown princess was much more reliable than doing business with Zhao Zaifu, after all, this big tree was much bigger and deeper than Zhao Zaifu's big tree.

As he himself said, he loved good food and silver.

Today, Hua Yan invited him to eat a delicious meal, and exchanged the business in the north for the profit of the Huaihe Salt Road, he did not lose, and he had ambitions, he just wanted to be the richest man in the world, and he had no reason to refuse.

Hua Yan and Cheng Zixiao reached an agreement, but they were also hungry, raised their hands and slapped their palms twice, An 13 brought people in from outside, and suddenly there was a smell of food in the house.

The Mountain Treasure Museum has been inherited for hundreds of years, and naturally has its foothold, and the imperial kitchen in the palace is not necessarily comparable.

Cheng Zixiao loves food, and Huayan also loves it, so An Shisan accompanies him, and Cai Qing also sat down under Huayan's signal, and the four of them didn't talk much, and the movement of the meal was very light.

After a meal, Hua Yan was in a good mood, and even the bitter medicine soup brought by Cai Qing after the meal did not feel bitter, and he raised his neck and poured it down in one go.

An 13 watched Hua Yan drink the medicine, with a worried look on his face, but he didn't say anything.

Cheng Zixiao was quite surprised, but he didn't expect Hua Yan to seem to be ill, so he asked casually, "The crown princess is not well?" ”

Hua Yan casually said "um".

Cheng Zixiao looked at Huayan carefully, she looked a little thinner and weaker, and she really didn't look like she was sick, but he ran a pharmacy and had a nurse from the Divine Doctor Valley, so just when Huayan drank the medicine, he only needed to smell it to know that it was not an ordinary medicine.

He couldn't help asking, "Is this a medicine that is constantly prescribed by heaven?" Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Hua Yan raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Just smell the medicine, you can smell that it is an endless prescription, Cheng Qigongzi seems to be proficient in medical skills." ”

Cheng Zixiao nodded, "I have been interested in medical skills since I was a child, but I just smelled this medicine unusually, but I didn't just smell this medicine and guess that it was the prescription of Tianendless, just because I heard that Tianendless was in the East Palace, and it was the person brought by the crown princess, and with him by her side, the princess naturally didn't drink the medicine prescribed by others." ”

Hua Yan smiled, "Then Cheng Qigongzi may smell what kind of disease this medicine is used to treat?" ”

Cheng Zixiao shook his head, "I haven't smelled it, but there is a medicine, but it cures heart disease, which shows that the crown princess's illness is not an ordinary illness." ”

Hua Yan said "heh", "Cheng Qigongzi is indeed talented in medical skills. When the words fell, she didn't want to say more to him, and said to An Shisan, "I'm a little tired, find a place, it's still early, let me sleep first." ”

An 13 stood up, "Young Master, please follow me to the backyard." ”

Hua Yan nodded, stood up, flicked her sleeves, and smiled at Cheng Zi, "Cheng Gongzi can take care of himself!" Goodbye. The words fell, and An 13 went out of the room.

Cai Qing immediately followed.

Cheng Zixiao watched Hua Yan leave with the hat, the hat covered her stunning face, after her figure disappeared, he was the only one left in the room, he dipped the tea, wrote "heart disease" on the table, and then wrote "mending the heart", and then wrote "nourishing blood", after writing, he looked at it for a while, wiped off the words on the table, and thought for a while.

Hua Yan was led to the backyard by An Shisan, entered the house, sent Cai Qing to guard the door, and when there was no one, she asked An Shisan in a low voice, "My brother sent you to Beijing, is it about me?" Go ahead. ”

An 13 nodded, also lowered his voice, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear, "Gongzi found out that the ancient books of the royal family about the forbidden art of the Yun Clan were enshrined in a hot spring pool in the palace before the death of the great grandfather. After the words fell, he glanced at Hua Yan, "There is also the ice coffin of Empress Shujing, and the ashes of the great grandfather." After speaking, seeing that Hua Yan didn't react, he said again with a heart, "The prince learned that there was a secret guard left by the grandfather to guard that place, which was no less than the Gu Palace, so the special subordinates were ordered to bring people to help the young master, and you didn't want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to know about your illness, so you could only secretly take it." ”
