Chapter 296: Verbal Routines
If it weren't for the fact that this steward was a domestic slave of the Yuwen family, Nalan Qidu would have given birth to a force that wanted to absorb the other party into his own and let him do things for his own industry.
Although there is no one who abandons his family for the sake of profit, it is clear that this steward is not among them.
Nalan Qi wandered for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he heard the steward on the other side speak.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a heart, and if His Royal Highness the King knows, he will also be glad to have a nephew like His Highness who can share his worries."
As soon as the steward's words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately became a little more solemn.
The forward on the side frowned, he was very dissatisfied with the steward's words.
It's just that he can't react much, he can only suppress the disgust in his heart.
Nalan Qi didn't have any extra expressions, but just said in a good mood.
"Of course, Uncle Huang is a busy man, and there is no cousin in this palace to help Uncle Huang share it, so this intimate nephew of this palace will come to help take a look, otherwise this palace doesn't know that there are moths among Uncle Huang's men."
As soon as these words came out, the steward's face also became solemn.
But this expression only lasted for a moment, and the steward spoke calmly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if this is a strict person, how can such a person appear under his command."
As he spoke, the steward's palms couldn't help but sweat.
Obviously, he knew about this, but he didn't want to show the slightest flaw in front of Nalan Qi.
Regarding the appearance of Nalan Qi, this steward was very cautious from the beginning, and every move must not make any mistakes.
In order not to let the other party think that he was not well entertained, but let the king leave the back, and his subordinates treated His Royal Highness the prince badly.
And now when he hears the other party's slanderous words, the steward immediately thinks that his affairs have been exposed.
However, since it has been exposed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guilty of not saying it directly.
Because it's very likely that he will become prepared and then do something else to deal with it.
The reason why he said it now was obviously to disturb his mind, and then to put something out of him that he wanted to know.
At the beginning, the conversation between the two of them was a gun with a stick.
First of all, the steward told Nalan Qi with important things, if there were no important things, he would not be doing his job.
Then, it was Nalan who came to see his uncle's property as an excuse.
Tell the other party directly that he just came to see his uncle's property.
Obviously, this steward is not simple.
immediately used the fact that Nalan Qi was only the nephew of the king to insinuate that Nalan Qi was nosy.
Of course, Nalan Qi didn't care about this, and directly used the fact that the king had no children to directly ironically go back.
dropped a bombshell news, which directly confused the mind of the steward.
Nalan Qi also immediately heard the other party's abnormality from the words of the steward.
However, he still did not have any other overreactions.
Nalan Qi said to the steward jokingly as if he was chattering.
"I don't know about this palace, it's just that when I passed by the Gu family's house when I was walking, I happened to see someone from Yuwen Commercial Bank coming to Yuwen Commercial Bank with a box, does the Yuwen steward know who these people are?"
Nalan Qi's words made this humble Yuwen steward want to curse.
Of course, this humble Yuwen steward knew what Nalan Qi was talking about.
It was a stronghold they used to make a deal with the Gu family, and at the same time, it was also one of their biggest sources of income in Quanyue Town.
The house was far away from the prefect's house, and it was almost close to the city wall.
And people who don't usually have much to do don't notice over there.
When he knew that Nalan Qi had gone there, the steward was frightened.
Whoever walks to the edge of Quanyue Town, doesn't they always go for a stroll on the West Street of Quanyue Town, and then go home?
This humble Yuwen steward couldn't help but complain in his heart.
It's just that on the surface, he is still very respectful and says without revealing any flaws.
"The Gu family's mansion? What is that place? My subordinates are busy counting this year's things today, and you also know that the New Year is approaching, and the goods that the trading house needs to transport have increased, and the grass people have no scruples about this. ”
Nalan Qi's eyes darkened, and Nalan Qi also felt a little troublesome about his words.
The steward was by no means as he had shown, and the humility and gentleness of the other party were as if he were wearing a mask.
In that sentence just now, this Guan directly denied that he knew that place in advance.
Then he was very busy to clear up, he didn't know what the person Nalan Qi said was doing.
In a few simple words, Nalan Qi set up a situation where he didn't know the suffering of the people.
In a very busy period, he also comes to make trouble for the other party's image.
This moment of hard work directly put Nalan Qi into a disadvantage.
Nalan Qi could only sigh secretly, he really deserved to be the person under his imperial uncle.
However, Nalan Qi is not without a way to deal with the current situation.
After all, this time it was just a test of the other party, so as to guide the other party to react to stress, so that Nalan Qi's informant in Yuwen Commercial Bank could get clues.
Although such a thing is very likely to be detected by this steward, it is also feasible.
Even if they can't get the clues that Nalan Qi wants, they can still restrict the actions of Yuwen Commercial Bank, so that they can't use some forces now.
If they can draw out their secret power because of this, it will be Nalan Qi's victory.
It's just that all this is still unknown, and we can only wait for the later development.
Either way, it was Nalan Qi who profited.
Looking at the other party's steward, Nalan Qi said quietly.
"So that's the case, but this palace thinks badly, and it's a bit presumptuous to still bother during such a time period."
Listening to Nalan Qi's words, the corners of the gentle Yuwen steward's mouth twitched slightly.
The fact that these words could come out of the mouth of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the steward feel a little unrealistic.
It's not that Nalan Qi can't say such things.
It's just that the steward thought of an incident from the past, which was something that came from Shangjing.
It is said that the crown prince, at the annual banquet of one year, took the initiative to compete with the pro-envoys from other countries.
In that case, it is impossible not to say that it is a provocation, and it is really a direct transfer of the mission sent by other countries to be taken seriously.
Although with the strength of Nanshu Kingdom, even if it is not like this, there will definitely be no other country that will have any ideas.
But just like a consistent demonstration, after Nalan Qi made this request in public at that time, the emperor directly agreed.
At that time, I didn't know if the emperor had any calculations, and he agreed to such an unreasonable request.
However, in the eyes of all the ministers present at the time, this was something that could definitely show their strength in front of other countries.
With the exception of a few high-ranking people, most of the guests were clearly enthusiastic.
In this case, the matter started smoothly.
Although mission personnel in other countries know that this is a trap.
But they didn't have much right to object, so they naturally agreed.
In the end, of course, it was obvious that Nalan Qi single-handedly took on all the missions.
Martial arts and civil fighting are not a problem, which truly embodies the word civil and military, and he was only fifteen years old at the time.
Later, this directly became the talk of the people of Nanshu after dinner.
After the people found out, of course, they understood the strength of their country's royal family.
Directly let them remember Nalan Qi's name in their minds.
And now, when Nalan Qi actually said his presumptuous words, it was a very strange thing to think about it.
The steward was not surprised, and kept complaining in his heart.
It's just that on the surface, he still has to maintain his humble and gentle image to avoid mistakes.
When Nalan Qi saw this kind of steward, he also lost some interest for a while.
He had achieved his purpose for the day, so he had no interest in what the steward would think.
So, he just spoke.
"Okay, it's been too long to delay today, and it's time for this palace to leave."
