Chapter 288: Fame and fortune are both gained, and the benefits are taken advantage of

In fact, when Xiao Yue knew that Mu Ziyu deliberately avoided herself, she had a new plan.

This time, the Queen Mother directly entrusted Mu Ziyu to prepare for these things, and she was just an errand boy, so if something really went wrong, Xiao Yue's punishment was limited.

The reason is very simple, she is not Mu Ziyu's person at all, and she did not take a benefit from Mu Ziyu, the two have not even signed a contract in black and white, it is just a verbal agreement, and she knows that the responsibility she can bear is limited.

But she can't completely leave this matter alone, after all, Mu Ziyu is the prince, if she cheats him this time, he will inevitably be found back in the future.

Therefore, except for Lin Yu's matter, Xiaoyue did everything else, so that Mu Ziyu couldn't find a reason to be picky.

In order to cover up her relationship with Jiang Shangyue, she knew that Lin Yu was going to be cautious.

She knew that Mu Ziyu had fiefs in Yangyue Prefecture, and the annual harvest of these fiefs was very rich, which was why he didn't have to be an official and didn't worry about eating and drinking.

So Xiao Yue decided that since he was so calculating himself, he would take this opportunity to knock him on a good note, let him know that it hurt, and he wouldn't dare to hit his own mind easily next time.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Xiao Yue looked at him with an embarrassed face and laughed in her heart.

"Need so much money?" Mu Ziyu saw the figures behind the budget, and his heart trembled slightly.

Xiao Yue suppressed her urge to laugh and explained one by one,

"Lord Wang, you look at it from the beginning. You see, I don't know Lin Yu at all. I've inquired, and this person is a bit high-minded, so I want to make friends with him first, for example, listen to his books first, give him some gifts, and then have a chance to eat together or something. You think Lin Yu is not an ordinary person, so you can't give a gift too badly, considering that the time is tight now, I can only buy a gift at a high price. ”

Xiao Yue looked at Mu Ziyu, whose face was getting more and more ugly, and her heart blossomed. "Moreover, I can't handle this matter alone, so I still need to find someone to help, hire a few errands, and I will record these expenses on the list, please take a closer look at the prince." ”

Mu Ziyu suppressed his emotions, he took a deep breath, and said calmly: "It's just four hundred taels of silver, and this king still took it out, but... ”

He stared at Xiao Yue and asked word by word, "Wen Yue, can you guarantee that after spending so much money, you can really invite Lin Yu?"

"Not really. Xiao Yue said with a serious face.

This angry sentence made Mu Ziyu's hands clench, he gritted his teeth tightly, his handsome face was a little hideous, and Xiao Yue could feel that his emotions were about to erupt.

She immediately poured cold water on him, smiled and said: "However, I believe that money can make the ghost grind, if the four hundred taels of silver can't make him tempted, then add more money, and the extra money will be mine." ”

Mu Ziyu opened his hands, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and calmed down for a while, but he was still not at ease.

"Why are you sure that Lin Yu is a man of good money?"

"I'm not sure. Xiao Yue's words were so light that Mu Ziyu was almost choked by the tea.

"Ahem, what the hell do you mean?"

Xiao Yue watched him come out one after another, beautiful, and scolded in her heart, Who let you calculate me.

"It's nothing, I think this person lives for a lifetime, and he cares about two things

Love, one is fame, the other is profit. He Lin Yu can go to the palace to tell the Queen Mother, this is an opportunity for him to become famous, so the only way I can recruit him is to lure, if this matter can make him fame and fortune, why is he unwilling?"

"Makes sense. Mu Ziyu nodded, "Okay, just do as you say, this king will ask the housekeeper to send you the silver ticket in a while." ”

"Well, it is Wen Yue's blessing to be able to serve the Queen Mother, Wen Yue will definitely handle this matter well, please rest assured. ”

"Hmm. Mu Ziyu felt a little faintly that something was wrong there, but he couldn't find fault with Wen Yue for the time being, so he stood up and said goodbye, "There are still a few days to go, you better hurry up and do it quickly." ”

"Yes, follow the king's orders. Xiao Yue bowed her head and saluted and saw him off, in fact, her face was about to laugh.

The budget for the Queen Mother's birthday celebration was only two hundred taels of silver, but Xiao Yue actually took four hundred taels of silver from Mu Ziyu's money bag, and the four hundred taels were basically earned for nothing.

To put it bluntly, these four hundred taels are communication expenses, and for the two of them, they are already very familiar with each other, so they don't need it at all.

But Xiaoyue also had to do enough to save face, not letting Mu Ziyu find the handle, and in the next few days, she went to Jiang Shangyue every day to listen to Lin Yu's storytelling, and when he was resting, she would accompany him to drink tea, and by the way, she told him about it.

Although Lin Yu didn't understand why Xiao Yue pretended not to know him, and he didn't know why she wanted to hide her identity as Jiang Shangyue's owner, this person had an excellent character, and he also admired Xiao Yue very much, so he accepted Xiao Yue's requests one by one.

Even Xiao Yue suggested that he say the book "Fengyi Inn", and he agreed.

And all this was already in Xiao Yue's calculations.

She was very sure to persuade Lin Yu to go to the palace to tell the story, because she knew that Lin Yu was originally a person from the Yue Kingdom, and he had always respected the queen mother, and he would not shirk this kind of thing under normal circumstances.

"Fengyi Inn" is a book that Lin Yu has been talking about recently, he is very familiar with it, and it is not easy to make mistakes. From Lin Yu's own point of view, he will choose this one.

Considering Xiaoyue's selfishness, she felt that behind the book "Fengyi Inn" there was a shadow of the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor, if the queen mother liked it, the ministers would also pursue it, so it formed a wave of invisible propaganda for her Fengyi Inn.

All of this is being realized step by step according to her pre-planned plan.

And when Mu Ziyu knew that Xiaoyue had agreed with Lin Yu to go to the palace to talk about the story on the night of the Queen Mother's birthday. A big stone in Mu Ziyu's heart fell, but it was strange that he was not happy at all, he always felt that he was calculated, but what went wrong, he never came up with a reason.

"Wen Yue, this time I have worked hard for you, tomorrow morning, you will follow this king into the palace together. ”

"In the morning?" Xiao Yue asked puzzledly, "Didn't the prince say that when the queen mother summoned the royal family members to the imperial garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the afternoon, she would let me go to the palace again?"

"There is no right-hand man by the king's side for the time being, this time you have helped the king, so help people to the end. Mu Ziyu always felt that the four hundred taels were a little unwilling.

Xiao Yue smiled slightly and found an excuse to excuse herself.

"It's really unfortunate, the prince also knows, the youngest son of the family rarely comes back to Yingjun City, and he sticks to me every day when he comes, I really can't leave, so let's do it, I was at home with the child in the morning, had lunch, and coaxed him to sleep, so I took Lin Yu to the imperial city and met with the prince. ”

Unexpectedly, Mu Ziyu had a bad idea, which made Xiaoyue unable to refute.
