The reborn princess kills the whole capital

Chapter 488: Can human beauty be more beautiful than gold and silver?

The emperor seemed to be intentionally supporting Zhu Hongjin. I heard that in a month, except for going to the Queen's Palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, most of the remaining time was spent in Zhu Hongjin's Haoyue Palace.

In the remaining days, I either didn't go to the harem, or I just went to sit with Concubine Qi.

In the past, when there was only one concubine in the palace, everyone was called the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine. Now there are two concubines in the palace, because the emperor did not give them titles.

So there were Concubine Qi and Concubine Zhu.

Concubine Qi was naturally aggrieved, but she could only endure it and focus on the emperor again.

She was sure that she cared too much about Xiao Yi and ignored the emperor a while ago, which led to the current situation. Therefore, she exhausted all means, but still did not stop the emperor from going to Zhu Hongjin.

Concubine Qi forgot one thing. No matter how well-maintained she is now, she is no longer young. Her bright face looks mean and arrogant on her old face. She is used to Zhu Hongjin's low eyebrows, and the emperor seems not to like her. It's all gone.

Besides, can human beauty be more beautiful than gold and silver?

Because of Zhu Hongjin, the Zhu family was prosperous in the capital. Zhu Jinren was able to escape You Changli's troubles, and took over the Flower Viewing Tower from the Queen, planning to make a comeback.

The old man of the Zhu family started to pay more attention to Zhu Jinke again, and he also pretended to show some good looks, which allowed the Zhu family to shed their humility and subservience as a businessman.

Until Zhu Hongjin spoke again, it was 10 taels of silver. This time, he didn't ask Zhu Jinke to get it, but directly asked the old man of the Zhu family for it.

Even Jin Yan was shocked when she heard this number.

"Why do you need so many?"

"The Emperor wants to repair the Star Building. This is just the first payment. More will be needed in the future."

Zhu Jinke said quietly and subconsciously looked at Wen Yan aside.

Wen Yan recently moved to Mingyue Tower. He lives in a small single-family courtyard previously arranged for Jin Yan. Deep in the mountain col, bamboos are planted everywhere and covers an area of ​​several acres.

He was originally trying to please Jin Yan, but Xiao Yuexi got very angry because of this, thinking that he was favoring one over the other.

Who knew that Wen Yan would take advantage in the end.

When Jin Yan wanted Wen Yan to live there, Xiao Yuexi deliberately eliminated him and stood on Jin Yan's side, two against one, so Zhu Jinke had to agree and even helped arrange guards.

Therefore, he just deliberately stabbed Wen Yan in the back.

Who doesn't know that the Star-Zhaing Tower was originally owned by the Imperial Master Wen Yan, but Wen Yan fell and disappeared without a trace. It was taken over by the Celestial Master who was more valued by the emperor, and even made many repairs.

Wen Yan noticed his gaze and opened his eyelids slightly to take a look. There was no emotion in his calm eyes. He quickly looked away and poured Jin Yan a cup of tea.

Dense steam rose, and he took her hand and put down the tea cup, "Be careful of burning it."

Jin Yan took it naturally, smiled with her eyebrows crescent, and nodded slightly.

After taking a gentle peck, her eyes lit up for a moment, "It tastes good. Where did this good tea come from?"

"Looking for it."

Wen Yan said with a smile, tilted towards her again, and replied in a voice that only two people could hear, "You are still begging for forgiveness, can you feel it?"

Jin Yan was stunned for a moment, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the astonished expressions on the faces of Xiao Yuexi and Zhu Jinke. Even though they were usually magnanimous people, she felt a little awkward at the moment, "Yes, yes, yes!"

She hurriedly put the tea cup on the table and sat upright again.

Wen Yan only looked at her deeply, and the doting in his eyes was reserved for her alone.

It is a very pleasant thing to be cared about wholeheartedly by someone.

"Ahem, let's get down to business, will the Zhu family give me this much money?"

Zhu Jinke glanced at Jin Yan with disdain, and lay back, not wanting to speak anyway.

"What a coincidence. It was only two days before the first day of the Lunar New Year that the Zhu family's surplus in the capital was about 10 taels a month, which is equal to his family's income in other towns in most of Qing Dynasty."

Without waiting for Zhu Jinke to answer, Xiao Yuexi hurriedly said something.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

Jin Yan went to see Zhu Jinke. He was quite arrogant and did not hide it. He just smiled and said, "That's natural. If you don't feed the emperor's appetite, how could he want to take advantage of the Zhu family?"

"Then do you think Mr. Zhu will give it to you?"

"Yes, but I won't give it too readily. The Zhu family can still get this little money."

Zhu Jinke's words were cold, his voice was light, and there was a cold light in the depths of his eyes.

If they hadn't wanted to cling to the royal family, how could Sister A suffer such pain in the palace?

Since they wanted to guard it, he refused to let them get what they wanted, so he had to give it up to others.

Perhaps his anger was too strong, and both Jin Yan and Xiao Yuexi could sense it. The two looked at each other, and Jin Yan was the first to say, "If you are reluctant to let go, there is still room for maneuver."

"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. Sister A and I have always been tools in their eyes. We will spare no effort to use them when we need them, and kick them away when we don't need them. I have no feelings for the Zhu family."

Now that he has expressed his stance, Jin Yan and Xiao Yuexi naturally have no worries.

The Zhu family also had something they were interested in. Since their last trip to Pingzhou City, Jinyan and Xiao Yuexi bought some shops from the Jiang family and opened some pharmacies throughout Qingguo.

The Zhu family has its own pharmaceutical market, which is being targeted by Jin Yan and Xiao Yuexi, and they plan to leave it to Chu Shi to take care of it.

Leaving Mingyue Tower, Jinyan and Wen Yan walked together on a road full of spring flowers.

This place is sparsely populated and is not open to the public in the Mingyue Building complex. The people serving it are all orphans brought back from the refugee camp that day. Some of them who have grown up quickly are now able to stand alone.

They were all arranged in the most important place in Mingyue Tower, watching everything here with absolute loyalty.

"Ji Chang has been too quiet recently."

People from Prince Jin's Mansion stared at him for a long time, and Zhu Hongjin from the palace also watched, and found that he only stayed in Zhaixing Tower and never went out except when summoned by the emperor. It was too strange.

Jin Yan was flustered. .
