If it were in the past, if Prince Rui received such an evaluation from his daughter, even if he didn't say it out loud, he would definitely be dissatisfied in his heart.
But after spending some time together, Prince Rui had already realized that Qingtian was a child who valued friendship and loyalty.
Moreover, Qingtian’s relationship with the couple has become much closer recently than before.
Boss Ye went to Changbai Mountain this time originally to collect some Ganoderma lucidum and earn some extra money to make medicine for Qingtian.
When they came back, they presented such a great gift to the court.
Therefore, Prince Rui's original desire to compete with Boss Ye had long since died down.
Not only that, after returning to the palace, Prince Rui also gave special instructions, asking them to take care of Boss Ye and Boss Cheng's business quietly.
Prince Rui instructed the chief secretary of the palace on this matter.
The Chief Secretary was struggling over what to do.
It is not difficult to take care of Boss Ye and Boss Cheng's business, but how can you do it without showing any emotion?
In the end, the Chief Secretary had no choice but to find the manager in charge of the palace's external business to discuss the matter together.
The steward heard this and said, "Actually, this matter is very simple.
"Boss Cheng is quite famous in Beijing.
"He came back from outside the Great Wall this time, and people in the market were saying that he had brought back a lot of good stuff.
“All the major mountain goods stores are watching closely to see when they will ship their goods!
"We don't need to do anything special, just arrange for the store owner to handle this matter normally.
"As long as we pay enough, they will naturally sell things to us.
"If someone offers a higher price than us, then we will be considered to be helping Boss Ye and Boss Cheng drive up the price.
"I won't let them suffer any loss, either inside or outside."
The manager thought he had come up with a very good idea, and was waiting to be praised by the chief secretary after he finished speaking!
Who would have thought that the Chief Secretary, who had been listening with such satisfaction earlier, would suddenly frown upon hearing this and rebuke him, "What nonsense! The price is just higher. How could our palace possibly lose to others?"
The steward was speechless after being rebuked by him, but he also understood the prince's attitude and the importance he attached to this matter.
But this way, the matter would be easier for him.
To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of giving money to Boss Ye and Boss Cheng.
So the steward took on the task with confidence, and even went into battle personally when the time came. All he had in mind was the beautiful vision of completing the task successfully and being praised by Prince Rui after returning.
But the manager of Boss Cheng's martial arts school was a little dumbfounded when he just arrived.
Who can tell him why the princess is here at this time?
Not only here, she was also sitting on Boss Ye's lap, eating the candied haws in her hand.
The steward immediately became a little nervous.
Could it be that the princess was sent by the prince to supervise the work?
The manager, who originally wanted to spend the money and leave as soon as possible, immediately started to have some random thoughts.
He didn't dare to do as he had originally planned, which was to just quote a high price and leave after looking at the goods.
Remembering Prince Rui's advice not to show off, he obediently sat down in the main hall with the other mountain goods store owners.
After a while, Boss Cheng saw that most people had arrived, so he started asking people to move out the mountain products he had brought back and let everyone bid together.
The manager thought to himself, Boss Cheng is quite smart and good at making money!
However, as the bidding began, the manager had no time to think about other things.
He was always very bold in raising the price, and no matter whether it was natural treasures or furs, he even had a vague feeling of stealing the show.
The other people in the mountain goods store began to glare at him.
After all, every industry has its own rules. Even if your store has money, you won't use this bidding method.
No matter how deep a person's background is, when eating meat, they will think of opening their fingers a little to leave a sip of broth for the people below.
But the behavior of this manager today was really a bit ungentlemanly.
Even if everyone knew that he was from Prince Rui's Mansion, doing this would be too much.
Thinking of this, he became furious and started to compete with the steward of Prince Rui's Mansion.
This time, the item put up for auction was a box of high-quality fox fur.
Fox fur is not hard to come by, but what is rare is that there are five pieces of silvery-white fox fur without any stray hair.
That's enough to make a whole fox fur coat, and maybe even two fox fur quilts from the leftover scraps.
Apart from these two people, everyone else was also looking at them with envy.
However, no matter how good something is, you still have to consider whether the price is right before you buy it.
Then everyone watched as this man and the steward of Prince Rui's mansion began to take turns making offers.
The steward of Prince Rui's palace is there because the palace is not short of money.
The other person was simply obsessed.
When the price was quoted, it was far more than the actual price of the box of fox fur.
Even Boss Cheng, who was standing above, had noticed that something was wrong.
Seeing that the price had become so high that he could not afford it at all, the man finally started to make a fuss.
"Do you think you're so great just because you're the steward of Prince Rui's Palace?
“I know that your Prince Rui’s Mansion is rich, but you don’t bully people like this, right?
"Except for your palace, no one else is worthy of buying things here, right?
"Why don't you just ask Boss Cheng to send all the things directly to Prince Rui's mansion? Did you call us here just to play a trick on us?
"So, have you seen enough now? Can we common people leave now?"
The steward was also helpless after hearing this. He had been working in Prince Rui's mansion. Merchants of all kinds of good things were lining up to send to the mansion, but this was the first time he participated in such a bidding event.
