Chapter 14: One Hundred Taels of Gold

As soon as the high price of fifty taels of gold came out, the people around gasped.

Some people inevitably felt jealousy and hatred for bayberry in their hearts, but no one dared to ridicule Moli who paid fifty taels of gold to buy a stone.

Yangmei looked up and saw the smile on Mo Li's face, and couldn't help blushing.

The people around thought that this stone was sold for a high price of fifty taels of gold, and this maid should be sold, but Yangmei still shook her head.

Mo Li's brows furrowed slightly, but in a blink of an eye, he changed to a bright smile and said, "That son of Ben paid a hundred taels of gold, okay?" ”

Yang Mei heard Mo Li's words, raised her eyes to look at the remnant sun in the sky, and her face showed hesitation.

Seeing the hesitation on Yangmei's face, a smile flashed in Mo Li's handsome eyebrows. It seemed that he really fell in love with the black stone, the corners of Mo Li's lips hooked, and he smiled: "That son will add another one hundred taels, two hundred taels of gold to buy your stone?" ”

Sure enough, after Yang Mei heard this, she no longer shook her head as before, but asked cautiously: "Childe really has the heart to buy this stone?" ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "This is nature." ”

Receiving Mo Li's affirmation, Yang Mei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "The slave doesn't want two hundred taels of gold, as long as one tael of silver, she can sell the stone to you." ”

Hearing Yangmei's words, not only the surrounding spectators, but even Moli's face showed a look of surprise.

But in a short moment, the look of surprise on Mo Li's face disappeared, revealing the same smile as before: "Okay, since that's the case, then this stone, Ben Gongzi bought it, but can the girl tell Ben Gongzi why this stone was only sold for one or two silver in the end?" ”

Hearing Mo Li's question, Yang Mei's face turned red, and she had no choice but to excuse herself: "The slave is just entrusted by others, and I don't know why she only sold it for one or two pieces of silver in the end." ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows, the girl in front of her really didn't seem to know the details.

Just when Mo Li got up and wanted to give up, he heard Li Yiyan, who had been standing behind him, say in a cold voice: "It's Ning Yunxuan who asked you to sell this stone?" ”

When Yang Mei heard the voice, as soon as she raised her head, she saw Li Yiyan's dark and handsome face, her face instantly turned pale with fright, and she knelt on the ground and trembled: "The slave maid has seen the prince, this is not about the princess, it is the slave maid who came out to sell this stone by herself." ”

Hearing Yang Mei's words, Li Yiyan hooked his lips and sneered: "Just you?" Then tell the king, how did you come up with this method? ”

Yangmei trembled and could no longer speak.

Seeing this, the corners of Mo Li's handsome lips were hooked again, and her narrow eyes were full of interested smiles: "It seems that today I have to meet the rumored Concubine Ning." ”

Li Yiyan's eyes were deep, revealing suppressed anger in the dim night.

It was originally a carriage back to the Rui Palace, and it turned around and drove towards the dyeing workshop.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Yang Mei thought that she had caused a big accident, and hurriedly ran into the house to tell Ning Yunyu. After listening to Yang Mei's words, Ning Yunyu did not show a panicked look, but laughed calmly.

When King Rui arrived, he naturally knelt in the courtyard, Ning Yunxuan came out and bowed to Li Yiyan Yingying: "Yunyun has seen the prince." His eyes casually swept over Mo Li beside him, without inquiry, but he also guessed the identity of the person who came.

Li Yiyan's face was dark, and he looked at the others in the courtyard: "This king has something to discuss with Concubine Ning, you go down first." ”

When the other people in the courtyard heard Li Yiyan's words, they hurriedly saluted and retreated, and in a blink of an eye, only Li Yiyan, Ning Yunxuan and Mo Li were left in the courtyard.

Ning Yunxuan raised her eyes and looked at Li Yiyan, with a light smile on her face: "Since the queen mother of the national color Tianxiang skirt has accepted it, then the conditions that the prince promised Yun Yu should also be fulfilled." ”

Hearing Ning Yunxuan's words, Mo Li, who was originally just going to stand aside and watch the excitement, showed a look of surprise on his face. Growing up with Li Yiyan since childhood, he naturally knows the caution in Li Yiyan's character, not to mention the current situation, he can't help but be imprudent.

However, did such a person who must consider the next five steps with every step of the way agree to this woman so easily?

Although he was puzzled in his heart, seeing that Li Yiyan's originally indifferent eyes were as cold as ice, there was already anger, and Mo Li's smart choice did not speak.

Li Yiyan also seemed to realize his anger, and soon, the anger in his eyes returned to coldness, Li Yiyan looked at Ning Yunxuan standing in front of him, and said with a deep gaze: "How can you be so sure that the queen will accept the national peony skirt?" ”

Facing the oppression in Li Yiyan's eyes, Ning Yunxuan did not dodge it at all, and there was a clear and clear light rising in her beautiful eyes, which actually made the moonlight in the sky darken a little.

Ning Yunyu smiled lightly, with a very sure smile: "Peony is the head of ten thousand flowers, don't queens like to use peonies as a metaphor since ancient times?" What's more, the queen naturally has no shortage of clothes to wear, and what she lacks is just a congratulation at the birthday banquet. Famous flowers love the country, and the king often looks at it with a smile. Just such a word of praise is enough to make the queen accept her clothes. ”

Hearing Ning Yunxuan's words, Li Yiyan's originally dark eyes became even deeper, as if a bottomless deep pool was about to suck Ning Yunxuan in.

But Ning Yunxuan didn't seem to care about Li Yiyan's reaction at all, and smiled again: "Actually, the prince also knows it in his heart, even if the clothes made by Yun Yun are only high-quality, not high-quality, the queen will accept it." ”

Li Yiyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, the intelligence of the woman in front of him had really exceeded his expectations. As early as when Ning Yunyu put forward the conditions, Li Yiyan knew in his heart that if it weren't for too offensive clothes, the queen would definitely not refuse.

After all, how could a woman who sat on the throne of the queen be so stupid, and criticize the minister because of a birthday gift, not only will she lose her reputation as virtuous, but she will also implicate the political situation.

"Haha, Concubine Ning's inference exceeded my expectations, it was really wonderful, no wonder I heard people talk about it, King Rui's side concubine is an extraordinary person." After listening to Ning Yunyu's words, Mo Li smiled and spoke, with obvious praise in his eyes.

It's just that Ning Yunyu didn't intend to accept his praise at all, just smiled and said: "Naturally, it is unusual, how can an ordinary side concubine stay in the dyeing workshop and work as a coolie, General Mo smiled." ”

Mo Li was not at all curious that Ning Yunyu actually knew his identity, after all, with the intelligence of the woman in front of him, it was not surprising that he could guess, but when he heard Ning Yunxuan's words and did not give face, Mo Lizhi had to smile awkwardly, touched his nose and then stood aside to watch the excitement.

It's just that Mo Li was puzzled in his heart, he knew the reason why Li Yiyan put Ning Yunyu in this dyeing workshop, after all, he was the emperor's person, so it was naturally better to arrange it farther away. It's just that Ning Yunxuan's performance doesn't seem to be like a spy planted by the emperor.

Ning Yunyu still looked at Li Yiyan with burning eyes, waiting for him to open his mouth to fulfill the conditions.

But Li Yiyan didn't seem to plan to leave right away, but turned around and sat on the chair next to him, with a mocking smile on his handsome and extraordinary face: "Sure enough, she is worthy of being the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she really understands the tricks of these calculators, so this idea of deceiving people with stones is naturally also from you?" ”

Hearing the ridicule in Li Yiyan's words, a trace of anger rose in Ning Yunxuan's eyes, but soon, this anger turned into a clear smile again, there was no way, he had to ask the person in front of him to do something, naturally he couldn't be offended.

Ning Yunyu lowered his eyes, covering the dazzling light in his eyes, and returned to his previous demeanor of lowering his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "Back to the prince, it was Yun Yu who asked Yangmei to sell stones." ”

Li Yiyan's fingers lightly tapped on the handle of the chair, his movements were leisurely, but he still carried a sense of dignity and elegance. His gaze did not fall on Ning Yunxuan, Li Yiyan's gaze drifted to the night that was already a little far-reaching, and his voice was casual and cold: "Then you can tell this king the reason." ”

Still without mentioning the conditions for agreeing, Ning Yunxuan quietly clenched his fists, and still forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Although this action is small, it has not escaped Mo Li's eyes at all, Mo Li's eyebrows are slightly raised, this Ning Concubine seems to be not as well-behaved as she seems, it is a bit interesting.

Letting go of his fist, Ning Yunxuan spoke: "Because he sold a piece of jade pendant in the palace, Yun Yu was punished to do hard labor in the dyeing workshop, so now Yun Yu has sold a stone at the root of the palace wall, I don't know how the prince plans to punish Yun Yu?" ”

The sound of fingers tapping on the chair suddenly stopped, and Li Yiyan's gaze fell on Ning Yunxuan again, but it was only for a moment, Li Yiyan looked down at the delicate dark lines on his sleeves, and a rare smile appeared on his face that had always been like an iceberg, and his voice was still cold, but it seemed to have a hint of teasing: "Then it depends on what you say." ”

Mo Li saw the curvature of the corners of Li Yiyan's lips, and raised her eyebrows higher, I am afraid that the sun will come out of the west tomorrow, and the Iceberg Rui King will actually smile like this.

Not only Mo Li, but even Ning Yunyu was stunned because of the softness in Li Yiyan's words, as if he was used to all kinds of negative images of this person, and he suddenly showed his sunny side like this, which was really uncomfortable.

After stabilizing his mind, Ning Yunxuan explained: "In fact, it is very simple to sell the stone. It mainly takes advantage of the curiosity of the public. Even if it is an ordinary stone, because no one has ever sold it, people passing by are naturally curious. Since it feels strange, it naturally has value. ”

After speaking, Ning Yunyu paused, raised his eyes and looked at a certain prince with a leisurely posture, but a certain prince seemed to have a plan to listen, so Ning Yunyu had no choice but to continue: "Since some people are willing to spend money to buy it, there will naturally be other people who are willing to buy it." There are those who follow the trend, and there are those who secretly compare, and the price of this stone naturally goes up. As for why it was only sold for a tael of silver,"

Ning Yunyu raised his eyes and smiled: "It's just an ordinary stone, if it is sold for a sky-high price, it is not easy to make money, not to mention, such a get-at-a-kind result will inevitably make people blush." But since the bayberry has been sold for three days, it is also appropriate to take one or two silver for the hard work. ”

After speaking, Ning Yunxuan read the look of surprise from Li Yiyan and Mo Li's eyes with satisfaction. After all, this is something that modern psychologists have studied, and although the IQ of the two in front of me is the best among the ancients, I am afraid that I will still feel shocked.

After listening to Ning Yunxuan's narration, Li Yiyan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about the credibility of Ning Yunxuan's words, and after a long time, Li Yiyan looked up at Ning Yunxuan and said slowly: "Say, what do you want this king to promise you?" ”

Hearing that Li Yiyan finally mentioned this matter, Ning Yunxuan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on his face, which was a little brighter than the moonlight in the sky.

Ning Yunxuan took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yiyan, and said with a smile: "Yun Xuan just wants the prince to sign this letter of resignation." ”
