"Yes, yes, yes." Yan Yan'er nodded repeatedly.
The fierce look in the prince's eyes did not diminish.
If the girl in front of him didn't have a birthmark similar to Yan Funing's, how could he let her get close to him?
"Do you know how to please me?"
"I know." Yan Yan'er lowered her eyebrows and eyes, "Your Highness, are you going to my room?"
"Right here."
"yes."
Yan Yan'er said yes, pulled up her collar to close the doors and windows, and untied the belt of the prince's outer robe with her bare hands. She took off his outer robe and untied his trouser belt.
The news that the prince favored Yan Yan'er in the study soon reached Cai Mushi's ears.
She immediately dropped a set of exquisite tea sets.
The crisp sound of porcelain could not dispel the anger in her heart.
The maidservant softly consoled her, "Concubine, Yan Yan'er has no official status, so how can she compete with you? She has been expelled from the Yan family. You could say she has no background or influence. She is the only one who has any use, and her body is the only thing that matters."
Another maidservant also advised: "From your humble opinion, her body is nothing special. It's just a whim of His Royal Highness. I don't know what tricks she used, but in my opinion, this kind of favor won't last long."
Cai Mushi clenched her fists and said angrily, "I'm not only angry at Yan Yan'er, I'm even more angry at the Crown Princess."
She had heard more than once that the Crown Princess sent someone to deliver supplements to Yan Yan'er. Yan Yan'er was rescued by the Crown Princess, so this was obviously a trick used by the Crown Princess to mess with her.
But the prince really fell for Yan Yan'er's trick.
Such a lowly woman immediately put her down, and she couldn't get rid of the anger.
Thinking of this, she said, "Tomorrow, you will come back to the Cai family with me."
The two maids said yes.
--
The next day was still snowy.
Morning court and duty remain cancelled.
After having breakfast in the dining room, Fu Ciyi decided to go to the palace and told Yan Cheng and Hong Qingyi what he was thinking.
"Father and mother-in-law, I think we should inform the Emperor about our decision to move into the Prince of Jin's Mansion."
Yan Cheng nodded. "Indeed, you are now the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Throughout the dynasties, there have been very few royal children who have been able to serve as Prime Minister. You should go to the Emperor and express your opinion on this point."
Fu Ciyi agreed and said to Yan Funing, "I'll be back soon."
"Alright, be careful on the road."
Yan Funing escorted him out of the dining room, watched him go away, and then sat back down to continue having breakfast.
Yuan Lang held the bowl and sat down beside Yan Funing. He picked up the spoon and took a sip of porridge. "Aunt, how did you discuss it last night?"
"You still remember it?" Yan Funing couldn't help but smile.
"Of course I remember."
"We're discussing my restaurant." Yan Funing tapped him on the forehead. "You, hurry up and eat."
Yan Yingying shook her head: "Yeah, eat faster, why is the porridge in the bowl getting more and more?"
The little guy finally shut up.
Yan Funing looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, I would like you to draw a landscape painting for me to put in the lobby of Fufeng Restaurant. It should be more impressive."
"Why don't you look for your husband?"
Yan Xinghe finished his breakfast and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"He wrote the calligraphy for me, and I'll let my second brother do the painting. I can pay him for his work. Considering his worth, I think one or two thousand yuan for a landscape painting is fine." She smiled playfully, "Or does my second brother want to give me a discount?"
"If he doesn't paint, I'll do it. I only want five hundred taels." Yan Bojian raised his hand.
Yan Xinghe glanced at his brother and said to his sister, "I'll draw it, but I have a request."
"Please speak, second brother." Yan Funing also finished her breakfast and slowly put down her chopsticks.
"I don't need to pay for the painting. I want to buy shares. Is that possible?" Yan Xinghe asked.
Yan Cheng sneered: "Is there a brother like you?"
"Dad, don't say that about my second brother." Yan Funing said with a smile, "We can talk about anything between siblings."
Yan Bo practically yelled, "There are already enough shareholders for Fufeng Restaurant. We've already divided up the shares. There's nothing left for you, the second brother."
Yan Xinghe said calmly: "I also want to do things that make money. I don't care about the shares of Fufeng Restaurant. What I want to invest in is my sister's gold and silver shop."
"My second brother has the same vision as my husband. He also wants to invest in the Gold and Silver House." Yan Funing said frankly.
"Sister, just tell me if it's possible?" Yan Xinghe added, "I'll invest."
"Let him invest, let him invest, the second brother has money." Yan Bojian said again.
Yan Funing nodded. "Okay. We'll work out the exact shareholding ratio when the time comes. Could you please finish the painting soon, second brother? I plan to open the restaurant in December so we can get some business during the New Year holidays."
"Okay, I'll start painting today." Yan Xinghe agreed.
Yan Yingying: "Sister."
Yuan Yi: "Sister."
"Sister and brother-in-law?" Yan Funing was a little surprised that they called her in unison.
Yuan Yi smiled awkwardly: "Let your sister tell you."
Yan Yingying cleared her throat and said, "Family members shouldn't gossip. Although the Yuan family is a baron's mansion, their income is relatively small. I wonder if my sister would be willing to allow my wife and I to invest in the Gold and Silver Building as well?"
"Of course you can." Yan Funing agreed.
Yuan Yi and his wife obviously didn't expect her to agree so readily.
Hong Qingyi said, "All you know how to do is bully your sister. How can you be brothers and sisters like this?"
"Mom, listen to me. Bo Jian used to be short of money and came to me for it. Now he has a lot of money, and when I asked him, I found out that he got a lot of shares from my sister. He invested with his ability, and my husband and I invested with money. We will not let my sister suffer any loss." Yan Yingying explained.
"I won't let my sister suffer any loss." Yuan Yi agreed.
Yan Funing nuzzled against her mother's shoulder like a cat. "Mom, a gold and silver shop costs a lot of money. It's all gems and real gold, so naturally the more capital we have to open a shop, the better. This isn't a loss; it's a win-win for everyone. On the other hand, my brothers and sisters are helping me share the risk."
Yan Yingying pinched her sister's face and said, "After all, she knows how to talk. It makes me feel comfortable."
Zeng Kerou, who was standing by, nudged her husband lightly with her elbow.
Yan Honghou smiled awkwardly: "I'm embarrassed to bring this up."
They actually don't lack money.
"Big brother and sister-in-law can invest, and so can my parents." Yan Funing smiled, her eyebrows curved. "But I have something to say. The majority of the shares are mine, and the rest will be calculated based on your investment, effort, and daily contributions."
"Investing money is the easiest to understand, contributing labor is also understandable, but how do you calculate contribution?" Yan Yingying asked.
"Designing jewelry headpieces. The profit share can be adjusted based on the design results, and it can be included in the bonus. Anything is fine." Yan Funing smiled. "Sister has a unique understanding of beauty, and second brother is a first-class painter. He will definitely produce outstanding works."
Several people said hello.
Yan Cheng's face turned stern. "It's done. We are the Duke's Mansion after all. Merchant matters cannot be publicized. Do you understand?"
The brothers and sisters quickly agreed.
Yan Cheng asked again: "Fu Ning, are you short of money?"
Yan Funing shook her head: "I'm not short of money."
