Chapter 038 Famous Capital (2)

daring

Just now, through Wang Qifang's speech, demeanor and demeanor, Emperor Longqing was sure that the woman in front of him did not know his identity; But when Wang Qifang said this, under the effect of serious suspicion, Emperor Longqing suddenly felt that Wang Qifang was bold and dared to play tricks in front of him.

You must know that as an emperor, Emperor Longqing has some very serious vigilance, and an inconspicuous gossip from his subordinates may be able to stimulate his sensitive nerves, not to mention Wang Qifang's blatant speculation?

For a moment, Emperor Longqing even suspected that the third princess around him had revealed his identity, otherwise how could Wang Qifang know who he was, and also make such a gesture for the country and the people, in order to seek some ulterior purpose?

Thinking of this, Emperor Longqing's face suddenly sank, he glanced at the third princess coldly, and snorted inaudibly.

It's too much

After listening to Wang Qifang's words, the third princess chuckled in her heart, and said secretly, it's bad, Wang Qiniang is playing tricks in front of the royal brother, isn't she asking for her own death?

To tell the truth, the third princess, as a woman, can have more than 10,000 private legions in the Great Zhou that the people can't even hold an inch, in addition to her relationship with the emperor, what is more important is that she is smart, knows the times, and keeps her duty, otherwise even if she is talented, no matter how good the relationship with the emperor is, it is impossible to be in the Great Zhou for more than ten years.

No, as soon as Wang Qifang's words were finished, her brain began to spin rapidly, trying to find a way to get out of the current predicament - Wang Qifang played this kind of trick, and she would not do anything to her today, but would count this account on her third princess, how could this be?

Especially after catching Emperor Daolongqing's fleeting dissatisfaction, the third princess's mood became even more nervous, thinking desperately, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, forced a smile, and said, "Qi Niang, do you have something to ask me again?" Hehe, really, you have just helped me to settle so many seriously wounded, and the reward I promised you has not yet been given, and you want to dedicate the cotton plantation that is more expensive than gold to the imperial court...... Say, what do you want? ”

clever

Wang Qifang didn't show the slightest expression on her face, and praised from the bottom of her heart.

Actually, what she said just now can be said to Emperor Longqing, or it can be said that it is not, more precisely, it is just for pathfinding. Because she knew that as a stranger, she suddenly ran to the emperor of Weifu for a private visit and said something righteous and awe-inspiring, as long as this emperor was not a fool, he would be able to find out that something was wrong.

In fact, as far as Wang Qifang understands Emperor Longqing, although he is not a generation of Ming monarchs, he is not a faint monarch, just from his attitude towards the two relatives of the prince's family and Zheng Guifei's mother's family, it can be seen that this Longqing Emperor still knows how to check and balance.

Immediately after that, Emperor Longqing's face changed slightly, which also proved that this emperor was very vigilant, since the other party was not a faint monarch, it would be easy to do, Wang Qifang nodded secretly, with a little shame on his face, and said: "Hehe, the concubine really admires the third princess so much, what the concubine hasn't said yet, you know everything." ”

Wang Qifang paused, quietly glanced at Emperor Longqing, and saw that after he heard that he had 'something to ask', his face was a little softened, although he did not look at her directly, but Wang Qifang could still feel his attention.

"Yes, the cotton plantations were not donated to the imperial court for free. The concubine thinks so, and the concubine is still responsible for all the operations of the cotton plantation, and the cotton produced and the cotton cloth, cotton clothes or other cotton products spun from cotton will be donated to the imperial court free of charge...... However, the concubine hopes that the imperial court will give the concubine the title of 'royal use', and allow all businesses under the concubine's name to be branded as 'royal use'."

"Oh, this one," the third princess was stunned, she didn't expect Wang Qifang to really raise a difficult question. She subconsciously peeked at Emperor Longqing beside her, and saw that instead of being annoyed, he looked full of interest, so she had an idea in her heart, and said with a smile, "It's not difficult, but this royal name is not for everyone." To be honest, you are not the first person to propose to borrow the royal signboard, I think that when Lord Li founded the Confucian Business Association, he used to be an 'imperial businessman' and did a lot of business in the name of the royal family. ”

"The concubine body doesn't dare to compare with Lord Li," Wang Qifang was secretly happy when she heard the third princess mention the founder of the Confucian Business Association, and she hurriedly picked up the topic and said, "Proposing to borrow the 'royal family', the concubine body is also helpless...... Alas, the current situation of the concubine, presumably Her Royal Highness the princess also knows that although the concubine has the identity of Zhao's second grandmother, she actually has not much to do with the Zhao Mansion. ”

When the third princess heard this, she nodded, of course she knew Wang Qifang's current situation, and she had also thought of helping her ask for a seal from Jinshang, but there was no suitable opportunity. Wait, chance?

The third princess's eyes flashed, and she looked at Wang Qifang fixedly, as if she understood her actions today.

And the concubine still has sons and daughters to raise, so she tried to run a few shops, but the water in the capital is too deep, and the concubine is a powerless woman, and it is really difficult to gain a foothold in the complex capital. It just so happened that the concubine's cotton plantation was barely beneficial to the imperial court, and the concubine thought and thought about it......"

Emperor Longqing listened for a long time with a straight face, and suddenly found that he seemed to be too suspicious, and the other party didn't seem to know his identity, otherwise he wouldn't have made a big request in front of him, and the request was quite high. Looking at the other party's words and deeds, it really doesn't look like he sees through his identity and deliberately plays tricks.

"Exchange the cotton business for a talisman, Second Grandma Zhao will really do business," After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Longqing said, "It's just that I don't understand a little, since you want to exchange cotton for a talisman, why don't you go to your father-in-law, President Zhao?" You must know that the Zhao family is also engaged in the cotton cloth business, and it is dedicated to the imperial relatives and the palace in the inner city, so President Zhao must be more interested in cotton. You can participate in the membership certification meeting of the Confucian Business Association, if you pass the review of the conference and become a Confucian businessman, you can still do business in the capital. ”

Why bother to run to the third princess with great fanfare?

Emperor Longqing is still a little suspicious, after all, Wang Qifang's identity is special, if he is not mistaken, there are three major families behind this Zhao Wang clan - Qingyuan Wang, Haicheng Li, and the capital Zhao.

"Back to this lord, of course the concubine has thought about the Confucian Business Association," Wang Qifang said with a worried face and a slightly impatient tone, "It's just that the concubine has just moved out of the Zhao Mansion, why is she embarrassed to beg the master?" Even if you ask the master, the number of businessmen who participate in the certification conference of the Confucian Business Association is thousands, and the concubine is just a weak female stream, how can she compete with those wealthy businessmen? ”

The third princess of "Qi Niang" listened to Wang Qifang's words, and was secretly taken aback, thinking what is going on with this Wang Qi Niang, since you recognize the identity of the emperor, then behave well, why do you still look impatient? If you annoy Jinshang, let alone borrow the signboard of the 'royal family', you can't even save the lives of the family, you, aren't you yourself causing trouble?

"Hehe, Second Grandma Zhao doesn't have to be angry, I'm just talking casually, talking about it casually"

Wang Qifang was so impatient, and Emperor Longqing laughed instead. Why? This proves that Wang Qifang doesn't know his identity, and there is not much awe between words, such an attitude is normal, which is exactly what a rich young grandmother looks like to ordinary people: she not only maintains her good upbringing, but also clearly expresses her slight dissatisfaction and arrogance

"In addition, in addition to borrowing the signboard of the 'royal family', the concubine also wants to make a request"

Wang Qifang saw that the dark clouds on Emperor Longqing's face had finally dispersed, so she said with a smile.

"What, there are still requirements"

The third princess was frightened by Wang Qifang today, and this fright was repeated again and again.

"That, the princess forgives her sins, the concubine is not greedy enough, there is really no way," Wang Qifang was glared at by the third princess, she smirked twice, and said, "How about you see the new play rehearsed by the plum blossom troupe of the concubine?" ”

"New play?" The third princess was stunned, why did she talk about cotton and run to a new play? However, seeing that there was no banter in Wang Qifang's eyes, it should be a serious matter, so he nodded, "It's not bad, although I haven't heard the singing, it's not bad, and the lyrics are good, it's a good new play."

"Then, can Her Royal Highness the princess inscribe a word and write a plaque for the concubine's plum blossom theater?"

"Inscription?" The third princess quietly glanced at Emperor Longqing, and saw that his eyes were staring at the stage, but there was no joy or anger on his face, she was a little hesitant in her heart, not knowing whether this "Red Women's Army" had entered the eyes of the imperial brother, and whether he supported this new drama.

"Hehe, this is a good thing," Emperor Longqing looked at the stage with his eyes, and his ears were not idle. After hearing Wang Qifang's request, the last trace of doubt left in his heart disappeared, well, this is right, a plantation worth as much as gold, only to change a 'royal royal' signboard, it is still a loss. If you can add the inscription of the eldest princess of the country, presumably the business of this theater will be popular in the capital, and at that time, it will be difficult for Zhao Wang's family not to make money.

"In this way, the third princess has a special identity, and she has a bad relationship with Zhao Er's grandmother, so it is inconvenient for her to write an inscription. Why don't you let me write an inscription for her, hehe, such a good drama is for everyone in the capital to see"

Emperor Longqing was very satisfied with the wise and martial Emperor Sejong in the play, and he even felt that this role was a portrayal of himself, because several major events in the play were personally experienced and handled by him.

"Oh, Qi Niang, thank you yet, thank you, Master Wu"

When the third princess heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Wang Qifang's placket and hinted.

"This," Wang Qifang paused, she didn't expect that her performance would attract the favor of Emperor Longqing, and she actually took the initiative to help her write an inscription.

Oh my God, this isn't a dream, is it? Her original purpose was just to attract the attention of Emperor Longqing, and then ask the ninth princess to help her deliver good words, ask for a favor, if she can get a seal, it would be better. It's just that she didn't expect to get such a big surprise.

That's right, surprise, it's like winning five million. Her plum blossom theater, if there is an autograph inscription on today's saint, is it not popular in Beijing and famous all over the world?

P: Eh, in the past two days, a certain Sa has read a good book, so much so that he forgot that he wanted to update, I'm really sorry for the parents, and the end of reading the book and being fascinated is, watching this month's full attendance award flap its wings and fly away
