Inside the palace.
Chang Baicao loosened the golden thread in his hand.
"The princess is in very good health."
"The fetus is developing well."
"However, you can eat less greasy food recently."
"If the fetus is too large, it will be more likely to cause a difficult birth."
“You can also walk around normally.”
"Your Highness's medical skills are far superior to an old man like me. It's better for Your Highness to handle this kind of thing himself from now on. I still have a lot of things to do in the clinic, and I have to prepare medicine for the war."
"Ahem, isn't this more suitable for you?"
Ning Que smirked beside him.
He does know some medical skills.
But I really don't understand anything about gynecology.
The main reason was that there was no one to practice with in the mountains at the time.
In addition, given his current status, he is not suitable to be a doctor for leukemia.
"There's no need to be so nervous."
"It's my first time..."
Chang Baicao smiled helplessly.
Ning Que hadn't reacted this strongly when Lin Xianhong was pregnant. Now he couldn't wait to hold Shen Qinghe in his arms, fearing she might get hurt.
"Did you hear everything Uncle Chang said?"
"I told you I'm fine..."
Shen Qinghe also looked helpless.
Ning Que has not left the palace these days.
Additional guards were also dispatched to the palace.
Whenever she goes out, she is followed by her personal guards.
We found several midwives.
There is also a special kitchen to prepare meals.
And there are people waiting all day long.
"Your Highness, the King of Qi has brought his men here."
"Hey, you're finally here?"
Ning Que smiled and supported Shen Qinghe as they walked along the corridor. "Uncle Fu, let them wait at the door for a while. I'll walk with Qinghe first."
"You don't have to accompany me."
"This is in the palace, there's nothing to worry about."
"You should go and take care of your business first."
"Accompanying you is the real business." Ning Que said with a nonchalant smile, "Besides, since he came to ask me for help, let him wait. When asking for help, you should naturally have the attitude of asking for help."
"Okay..."
…
Tian Zhongxun was waiting at the door with a gloomy face.
Gu Yuan and others followed behind.
"What's going on?"
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
"My prince has something else to do."
Uncle Fu stood respectfully at the door.
Gu Yuan could no longer hold back and shouted angrily, "What could be more important than meeting the King of Qi? I think he's just trying to make things difficult for us and intimidate us!"
"Shut up!"
Tian Zhongxun had a cold face.
At this moment, I can only be patient.
There's no way, now is the time to use the money.
Since you are doing business, you have to have a good temper.
Let Ning Que be proud for a few days.
Later on, I will make Ning Que suffer a fate worse than death!
"Hahaha, the King of Qi is here."
"I'm sorry, I was watching the monkeys with my wife and didn't notice the King of Qi was waiting at the door. It took him so long to come out to greet him."
"Oh, Prince Ning, there's no need to be polite."
"I guess they expected me to come."
"Business is important, let's go."
"Haha, okay, King Qi, please!"
"please."
Ning Que signaled with his eyes.
The rest of the salt merchants were not qualified to enter.
They were all blocked outside the door.
Only King Qi and Gu Yuan entered.
They walked into the hall and took their seats.
Qingfeng Mingyue brought some tea and snacks.
"I wonder what the King of Qi wants to talk to me about?"
"Now that there are no outsiders here, I won't waste my words with you. Your people have seized all of Jiaodong's sea salt. Including the cost and shipping, it's worth at least 100,000 taels of silver. I just want to ask you, how can we release this batch of sea salt?"
"Hiss... is there such a thing?"
"Stop pretending to be nice to me!"
"What are you talking about, Prince Qi?" Ning Que leisurely picked up his teacup and said calmly, "Although I am in Linzi, I am only responsible for the preparations for the Eastern Expedition. All the specific matters in the city are handled by County Magistrate Ouyang. Prince Qi knows who County Magistrate Ouyang is. Not to mention me, even at the emperor's request, he dared to stand up and challenge me! Prince Qi, you should also reflect on yourself and think about whether there is a problem with your sea salt. Otherwise, why is he only investigating you and not others?"
"Stop playing dumb here!"
"Without your instruction, how could Ouyang Zheng dare to do this?"
"Just tell me straight away, how much benefit do you need?"
"As long as it's not too extreme, we can discuss it."
"Oh……"
Ning Que laughed immediately.
He took a sip of hot tea.
This old fox has finally fallen into the trap.
This time he just wants to vent his anger!
When Tian Zhongxun left, he made a mess of Linzi.
As a result, after he arrived in Linzi, he was restricted everywhere.
"The King of Qi still understands the market."
"Your sea salt, shipped from Jiaodong to Linzi, costs ten coins per catty, minus customs duties and other costs. If you sell it for thirty coins, you'll earn nearly three taels of silver per stone. In total, you've shipped no less than twenty thousand stones of sea salt, which is no small sum."
The amount of sea salt arriving this time is extremely large.
It’s also because the salt merchants want to make money.
Ning Que had spread the word that travel would be difficult this winter, so they needed to stockpile sea salt. Furthermore, with preparations for the Eastern Expedition, demand was even higher. That's why they were thinking of shipping more sea salt and making a killing!
In the end, he was tricked by Ning Que...
"How about this, I will take thirty thousand taels."
"You really have such a big mouth!"
Tian Zhongxun slammed the table and stood up.
Isn't this just working for Ning Que?
You have to know that the sale of sea salt in Linzi is subject to customs duties. Even if all the sea salt was sold, it would only earn about 50,000 taels of silver. Ning Que asked for most of it!
