Chapter 109: The Ministers Are Unlucky



Chapter 109 It's the Minister

's fault It can be said that Zhu Xuntao's voice greatly satisfied the prince's psychology.

Although the sentence "lucky not to be forced to step down by Zhu Yingyan" still sounded harsh, the words after that were worth listening to.

Xiao Jingzhan smiled. He was not sure whether Zhu Xuntao was a lucky star.

What he was sure of was that Zhu Xuntao had some luck on him, which really proved the saying "fools have good fortune".

"Okay, I can't get your good words for nothing. I will bring the things you are going to present to my father into the palace and arrange it for my father as soon as possible."

"My father enjoys your contribution, so this business will naturally be easier to negotiate."

The prince, who was in a very good mood, took the plan and strode away.

Not only Zhu Xuntao was anxious about this matter, the crown prince was even more anxious than her.

In recent years, the Great Yong Dynasty seemed very peaceful on the surface.

But in fact, the national treasury has been

in a very tight situation. Otherwise, he would not have been so nervous when he heard Zhu Xuntao say that there would be a once-in-a-century snowstorm in the middle of winter this year.

Because the national treasury had no money, the people were in distress, and the national treasury could not allocate money for treatment, which would inevitably cause public resentment.

He had used his own private money to send people to collect grain before.

The crown prince was really embarrassed to say that he, the crown prince of a country, was now penniless.

Except that he was only slightly better off than Xiao Jingzhan, he could not even compare to Zhu Xunguang.

It was not easy to get such a big business. The crown prince felt that God was helping him and the national treasury would hopefully be filled.

No, it should definitely be filled!

Zhu Xuntao touched her nose, not understanding why:

"What good words did I say to please the prince so much that he didn't even care about the benefits?"

[Why don't I have any impression of it? ]

[Could it be that because I was going to make a lot of money, I was too happy and forgot what I said? ]

"Anyway, the prince was very happy. There's no need to go into the details of the reason."

Rubbing Zhu Xuntao's head, Xiao Jingzhan concealed the inside story.

He couldn't tell Zhu Xuntao that after listening to her thoughts, the prince believed that she recognized him as the emperor.

How could the prince not be happy to get the recognition of Jixing.

Those princes all have the heart to be the prince, and the prince naturally has the heart to be the emperor.

"That's right."

Zhu Xuntao is a person who goes with the flow. Whatever Xiao Jingzhan says, she will listen to it.

If the prince is dissatisfied or has an opinion, she will let him go to Xiao Jingzhan.

Old Madam Sheng, who was used as an excuse, just sat there drinking tea with a smile, saying nothing.

She could hear that Zhu Xuntao was doing something for the prince.

What's more, Zhu Xuntao received extremely high praise from the prince.

She didn't know what glass was, but it must be a good thing.

The prince came and left in a hurry, and after getting what he wanted, he didn't have time to talk to Old Madam Sheng.

Zhu Xuntao was very attentive, saying that she was not a child without conscience:

"Grandma, don't worry. What the emperor has, grandma must have too."

Old Madam Sheng replied lovingly:

"It doesn't matter. Grandma can wait."

"No need to wait. How can you let grandma wait so unfilially?"

"Except for the portion for the emperor, I have already reserved the portion for grandma."

"As long as we find a craftsman, it will only take one day to make grandma's house look brand new."

Zhu Xuntao knew it in her heart. It was not easy to take out the money in her hand.

But she was not stingy in sharing what she had with others.

Except for money, everything else was easy to talk about.

Madam Sheng smiled and nodded:

"Then grandma will wait to enjoy Taotao's blessing and see how amazing this glass is that Taotao was praised so highly by the prince."

"Grandma, wait for me."

Zhu Xuntao nodded, and looked at Xiao Jingzhan:

"Did you hear that? The glass in grandma's room is waiting to be replaced. You should quickly find a few craftsmen to come over and don't delay the business."

Xiao Jingzhan: "..."

Got it, the errands were theirs, and all the credit belonged to Zhu Xuntao.

Seeing Xiao Jingzhan's meaningful eyes, Zhu Xuntao felt a little guilty.

This is the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, and she doesn't know anyone here. Of course, Xiao Jingzhan should do this kind of work.

Xiao Jingzhan is the grandson of the old lady. Is it unfair for Xiao Jingzhan to do such a small thing for the old lady?

Regardless of Xiao Jingzhan, Old Lady Sheng affirmed Zhu Xuntao:

"Taotao did the right thing. Women are delicate and these rough and dirty jobs should be left to men."

"There are not many people around the Marquis's Mansion, but there are many monkeys."

"If Jingzhan is not in the mansion, you can ask Jingyu and Jingshen to run errands for you."

"If they don't listen to your sister-in-law, tell grandma and she will beat them for you."

There are many sheep in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion, and Zhu Xuntao can catch one and pluck its wool at will.

"Thank you, grandma, you are so kind to me."

Zhu Xuntao put her face on Old Lady Sheng's arm, making Old Lady Sheng smile.

At almost the same time, the clean and transparent glass windows were replaced in the place where Old Lady Sheng and the emperor lived.

In just a moment, the room became much brighter and the vision became better.

Even the emperor, who was used to seeing rare things, could not control himself and looked around the glass window:

"This thing is wonderful, is it really made by Jing Zhan's wife?"

A woman, can she be so capable?

"To answer your words, father, it is absolutely true."

"The silver mirror that the ladies in the palace are vying to buy is also from Zhu Xuntao's hand, there is no falsehood."

"It is really true."

The emperor was impressed that he could come up with more than one good thing. Naturally, he was less suspicious of Zhu Xuntao:

"I remember that Jing Zhan married the daughter of Minister Zhu."

"This thing is so exquisite. Zhu Xuntao must have studied it for a long time. It took more than one day or two to make it."

"She is devoted to her husband's family and has no intention of caring about her parents' family."

The emperor's words were more or less a criticism of Zhu Xuntao's betrayal.

The prince saluted:

"Father, please allow me to report..."

The prince told the emperor about Zhu Xuntao's situation in the Zhu family:

"Minister Zhu gave Zhu Xuntao a birth, but he did not raise her. If it weren't for the old master Zhu, Zhu Xuntao, a lady from a noble family, would probably end up starving to death..."

Thinking of this, the prince was disgusted with Zhu Dingxing.

Even if Zhu Xuntao was not a miraculous person and did not have so many abilities, the prince could not stand what Zhu Dingxing did.
