Yun Zheng was the only daughter of the richest man in Daqi, wealthy beyond measure. In her previous life, she married into the Marquis's estate with a dowry covering ten li, only to become a la...
Chapter 213 Your Majesty, brothers sharing the same tank will be ridiculed by the world
Outside, Master Lei Wu, who had just complained of a stomachache, pointed at the hanging list and yelled angrily like a mad dog.
"How could our Lei family not be on the list? I've been doing business for so many years and am a senior member of the Imperial Merchants Association. How come I'm not on the list?"
"It must be cheating. I refuse to accept it."
He shouted and stepped forward to tear up the list, but was kicked away by Mingjingsi, "Get out, you bastard!"
This stirred up a hornet's nest. Lei Wu loudly instigated the merchants who also failed the exam, provoking them to be really angry and demand justice.
Fair? The newly selected imperial merchants were naturally unhappy, and the two sides started fighting for no apparent reason.
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Li Wuyang was pushed outside and watched coldly for a while before he gave the order, "Stop it, everyone. If you don't stop, I'll catch you all and beat you up."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was frightened and stopped.
Only Master Lei Wu was still mad. He ran to Yun Zheng and said, "You must give me an explanation today. Why am I not on the list?"
Before he could get close, he was slapped to the ground by Ming Jingsi.
Yun Zheng's expression was cold. "Ah, Master Lei Wu, I'm sorry, your samples are too inferior and the price is much higher than others, so they were not selected. Let's wait for next time."
He said this, but there was no apology on his face.
Master Lei Wu yelled in frustration, "This is impossible. My price is the lowest. You are using public power to take revenge on your own."
Yun Zheng was fed up with this kind of person who acted crazy and stupid. Did he really have no idea what was going on? "How do you know you're the lowest?"
Master Lei Wu shouted anxiously, "I've already greeted everyone."
Yun Zheng took out a report with pity and said, "Take this quotation to Master Lei Wu to have a look."
This is a report on silk and satin, listing the hidden bid prices of each company one by one.
Arranged from high to low, Master Lei Wu is at the back.
Master Lei Wu was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
He really wanted to say that this was forged, but who would forge a quotation just for him?
He doesn't have that much face.
Yun Zheng smiled faintly. "Obviously, you were backstabbed by your allies. Their prices are all lower than yours. Master Lei Wu, you need to reflect on yourself. How could you be such a failure as a human being?"
"You..." Under the huge impact, Master Lei Wu's eyes went dark and he fainted.
Yun Zheng was speechless. "This person is too petty. He will never amount to anything."
Li Wuyang said calmly, "The Lei family is dominated by women and weak by men. The men are not ambitious, so they rely entirely on women to support them. Once they taste the sweetness, they want to replicate the previous success."
“Desire never ends.”
"Come here, Lei Wu is arrogant and has offended the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Drag him away and give him thirty lashes."
At this moment, a voice came, "Someone is coming from the palace."
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict was brought in and was shocked to see the chaotic scene. Was this a fight?
He didn't dare to look any further and hurriedly passed on the order, "The Emperor has spoken, summoning Prince Rui and Princess Jinyun to the palace."
Li Wuyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng nodded slightly, "It just so happens that I was just about to report the list of imperial merchants."
The two of them were riding in the same carriage. Just as Yun Zheng was about to sit down, an arm reached out and pulled her into an embrace.
"Hello." Yun Zheng was startled and subconsciously looked at the curtain. Fortunately, it had fallen down.
Li Wuyang held her tightly, "Let me hold you, just for a while."
"I miss you so much, every day."
If longing had a sound, it would be deafening.
He held her waist tightly with both hands, wishing he could rub them into his bones and blood, as if to vent all the longing he had felt for her in the past few days.
Yun Zheng's heart softened, and he relaxed his body and threw himself into his arms.
She missed him too.
The man's embrace was warm and made her feel safe. She couldn't help but close her eyes and lean into his arms, naturally wrapping her arms around his waist.
The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, full of warmth, soothing his fatigue caused by his wandering journey.
The two hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped, and the small carriage was filled with the joy and sweetness of reunion.
No one has the heart to break this beautiful and warm moment.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped and a voice came from outside, "Nine Thousand Years Old, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace."
The man still didn't want to let go and held her for a while longer.
Yun Zheng patted his shoulder gently, "Let me go."
Li Wuyang looked unhappy, "Why so fast?"
When he went in, Li Wuyang had a stern face, as if the whole world owed him something.
"Your Majesty, I have seen you."
Yun Zheng also followed behind and saluted, not forgetting to secretly observe her surroundings.
Oh, the imperial concubine is here too.
Could the young woman standing beside her, her eyes red with tears, be the daughter of the Lei family who was presented to the emperor? She was indeed very beautiful.
The emperor shouted angrily, "You bastard, look at what you have done."
When the emperor was furious, everyone around him was terrified and knelt down.
Li Wuyang's expression grew even colder. "What evil have I done to make the Emperor so furious? He can't even see the suffering of a disabled person like me who has traveled thousands of miles?"
"You..." The emperor's expression changed drastically. "Royal brother, how can you say that about yourself?"
"Come here, serve tea to Jiuqiansui, a bunch of clueless people."
Hot tea was served, but Li Wuyang didn't even glance at her. "I won't drink it, and I don't deserve it. Your Majesty, please punish me according to the law and execute my entire clan."
Killing nine clans is ridiculous. Everyone present here is counted as one of his nine clans.
The emperor rubbed his brows in annoyance. He was indeed a little unreasonable.
"My royal brother, you've worked hard all the way. Are you tired? Have some tea and rest. I'll ask the imperial kitchen to prepare a few of your favorite dishes. Let's have a drink together, brothers."
The emperor cannot apologize, this is already a sign of lowering his status.
Lei Xintian looked at the interaction between the Tian brothers in disbelief. No way?
It was obvious that the emperor was very angry just now, so how come just two words from the Ninth Prince made his anger disappear and he even tried to please him?
She became even more determined to become Princess Rui!
Her gaze fell on the woman behind Li Wuyang, her eyes slightly fixed.
Yun Zheng, the most popular Princess Jinyun, likes to get close to the Ninth Prince the most.
When she becomes the Princess of Rui, no other woman will be able to get close to the Ninth Thousand Year Old Prince. She will be the first to attack Yun Zheng to make an example of her.
She fell to her knees before the emperor and sobbed, "Your Majesty, please help me. I was staying at home well, but was dragged to the palace by the people from the Mirror Office. I'm so scared."
"Not only did the neighbors see me being dragged away by the Mingjing Division, but every other family knew about it. How can I get married? How can our Lei family face others?"
Yun Zheng sneered in her heart, what a Spring and Autumn style of writing.
Instead of mentioning the reasons why the father offered his daughter as a sacrifice, they only mentioned the atrocities committed against her by the Mingjingsi. Tsk tsk tsk.
The emperor felt a little headache, "Ninth brother, take the girl from the Lei family back later. You just need a woman who understands your feelings."
Lei Xintian immediately seized the opportunity to express her loyalty, "I will definitely serve the prince well and let him have no worries."
Li Wuyang said calmly, "Your Majesty, brothers sharing the same trough will be ridiculed by the world."
The scene was silent and everyone was trembling.
But I think, we are brothers, how dare he say such taboo words?
Lei Xintian's face felt like she had been slapped hard, and her whole body was shaking violently.
The imperial concubine didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Nine Thousand Years Old...you wouldn't know about that, right?
