Chapter 175 I'll take you, you take the money
"……What's the meaning?"
Cheng Sijin was stunned. "My dear aunt, please don't tell me that you are going to change your heart at this critical moment!"
"I wouldn't say I changed my mind."
Shen Yue's tone was sullen. "From childhood to adulthood, from modern times to ancient times, I've lived two lifetimes, and I've only ever loved Hengheng."
"Huh?" Cheng Sijin was confused. "What do you mean by modern and ancient times? What do you mean by two lifetimes?"
"That's not important."
Shen Yue was silent for a moment, then spoke again:
"I mean, I like Hengheng and I like being with him, but I'm really not ready to be the queen."
Therefore, when Xiao Yuheng did not mention the matter of establishing a queen, she was not disappointed at all, but rather felt a little fortunate.
Cheng Sijin obviously still didn't understand, "Why?"
Chen Yue pursed her lips. "Perhaps it stems from the fear of the unknown. Since coming to this world, I've thought of becoming a female knight who punishes evil and promotes good, taking pleasure in revenge. I've thought of becoming a wealthy woman with hair full of gold and green, free and unrestrained. I've thought of becoming a wandering traveler, galloping across the world, but I've never thought of becoming a queen."
"Even after being with His Majesty?"
"Yeah." Shen Yue nodded.
"I'm so unreliable, I'm really not cut out to be the mother of a country, but if I have to give up Hengheng, I really can't bear to do it."
"Ayue..."
Cheng Sijin had never seen Shen Yue like this before, and she could see that she was a little confused.
She understood her unhappiness, but didn't know how to comfort her.
"How about we go out and relax?"
Shen Yue's eyes lit up, "Where are you going?"
"We can go anywhere. I'll take you with me and you take the money!"
“Puff—”
The two girls laughed out loud.
Just do it.
"Let's go get the money!"
Shen Yue took Cheng Sijin's hand and didn't even let her take off her official uniform, and hurried to Ruitongbao.
This is the largest bank in the capital. Strictly speaking, it is actually Chen Yue's asset.
At the beginning, Xiao Yuheng insisted on making a will and giving her one-third of his property, which included this bank.
She didn't know how to do business, nor did she know how much the countless shops under her name were worth. She only knew that ancient banknote exchanges were similar to banks, and that by checking with her private seal, she could find out how much silver she had.
"Boss, here!"
Shen Yue placed the private seal on the counter.
The private seal was specially made for her by Xiao Yuheng. It was made of pure gold and was shiny. There was a small moon engraved on it, which was very eye-catching.
At first, Shen Yue blamed him for being too rustic, but Xiao Yuheng stubbornly believed that since she liked gold bars, she would definitely like this private seal.
In fact, he was right. Shen Yue really liked it, otherwise she would not carry the private seal with her every day.
As soon as the boss saw the golden seal, he knew that the boss had arrived. He immediately straightened his expression, led the two people to the private room, and served them the best tea.
After a while, a thick account book was placed in front of Shen Yue.
She flipped through it casually and said, "I don't understand. Can you help me?"
Cheng Sijin took the account book, turned to the last page and took a look, her hands trembling.
"Ayue...I'm going to fight you, little rich girl!"
Shen Yue laughed, "What? How many are there?"
Cheng Sijin gritted her teeth and said, "Three, thousand, ten thousand."
“…” Isn’t that more than winning the lottery?
Shen Yue was both surprised and delighted. Since Xiao Yuheng gave her the private seal, she had never checked it. This was the first time she knew she had so much money.
Xiao Yuheng is so good to her, but she still doesn't want to be the queen. Isn't that a bit too much?
I feel a little guilty, what should I do?
The next second, Cheng Sijin uttered two more words: "Yellow, gold."
“…” Now Shen Yue felt even more guilty.
Not only guilty, but also guilty.
If she didn't become the queen, Hengheng would definitely ask for the money back, right? That wouldn't work!
Since the two poor girls had never seen so much money, their legs felt weak. Finally, they decided to take some silver, go back to rest for a night, and set off again the next day.
When Chen Yue returned to Hanguang Palace, Xiao Yuheng was still in the imperial study discussing important matters with Lu Zhengyan. She waited for a while but he didn't come back, so she had to eat a few bites and go to bed.
In a daze, she felt warm hands hugging her and soft lips kissing her, but when she woke up again, she could no longer see Xiao Yuheng.
Damn it, he’s going to court again.
What kind of emperor is that? He's just an ancient ox or horse!
She got up cursing and let Baozhu dress her up. After having breakfast, she rode out on her horse.
Although she has no official status now, her status in the palace is still above everyone else. No one dares to say anything even if she rides a horse in and out of the palace, or even rides a camel or an elephant sideways.
She arrived at Chengqian Palace and flew to the roof of the palace.
Zhang Dayong and Bai Yunfei were on duty on the roof. When they saw Shen Yue coming over, their mouths were almost raised to the sky.
"Director, why are you here?"
"I miss you guys."
Shen Yue sat on the roof, holding the two men's shoulders on the left and right, facing the wind and watching the rising sun. She was so happy.
It’s better to be a shadow guard!
"Where's Hengheng? He attends court so early every day. What on earth is there to discuss?"
"Director, don't tell me, something big is really happening today."
Zhang Dayong whispered, "The envoy from Dongyang State is here today, and His Majesty is meeting with him."
"Emissary? Male or female? Old or young?"
Seeing that Shen Yue was very interested, Bai Yunfei muttered, "It is said that the third prince and fifth princess of Dongyang Kingdom are here. The little princess has curly hair, which looks pretty good."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue poked Bai Yunfei's forehead fiercely, "You already have Sijin, and you still dare to look at other women, be careful or I'll poke you blind!"
"...No, I didn't see it. Brother Zhang told me..."
Bai Yunfei died unjustly, covering his head with a look of grievance. Shen Yue ignored him and lay on the roof, pulling away a piece of glazed tile.
Xiao Yuheng was dressed in a black dragon robe with gold embossing. His posture was as straight as a pine tree. He sat high on the dragon throne, overlooking the ministers.
On her jade-like face, her deep eyes were like a deep pool, sometimes fixed her eyes, sometimes lowered them, which was really beautiful.
He has been busy with government affairs recently, and Shen Yue was afraid of delaying his work, so she didn't bother him much.
I don’t know how long ago it was that I just did nothing and just watched him quietly.
Shen Yue looked for a long time before she was willing to look away and looked at the brother and sister in strange clothes in the center of the hall.
They all have curly hair in Dongyang country, both men and women have big waves, just like Ah Fei said, it looks pretty good.
The man was tall and handsome, and was mumbling something. Shen Yue put her ear to the entrance of the cave and could barely hear a few words.
After hearing this, her face immediately turned dark.
She didn't hear clearly what Prince Dongyang said before, but the last sentence was clearly "present the princess to His Majesty Daqi"!
