"Your Majesty, ever since His Majesty arrested the Ministry of Personnel there last time, many nobles have stopped going there. However, some people from ordinary families often go there, hoping for a chance to see His Majesty again."
As Doctor Jiang was speaking, he looked up and saw Empress Chen Fei lifting the curtain and looking at him tenderly.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly checked her clothes.
Today's outfit is no different, and the chest binding is just right.
I hope the Concubine Chen doesn’t like my appearance!
Thinking back, the way Concubine Chen looked at her today was different from usual.
This thought made her feel uneasy. The Concubine Chen was the Empress in the palace. If the Empress really wanted to find a gigolo outside the palace, it would sooner or later be reported to His Majesty.
By then, I'm afraid the entire Yang family will suffer.
In this matter, she must persuade Empress Chen to come down, even if it means exposing her true identity.
Qin Zhenzhen also noticed her mother's look.
[Mother, have you noticed that my future second aunt is a woman? However, this outfit is very different from the TV dramas I watched in the future. If you don't look closely, it's really hard to notice. You'll just think she's shorter.]
Concubine Chen nodded in her heart. Since her daughter said she had discovered it, then she must have discovered it.
"Doctor Jiang, if you know the way to Zuihe Tower, let's take a detour and take a look."
Doctor Jiang thought about his previous guess and his first reaction was to refuse. "Your Majesty, this Zuihelou is in the most prosperous area in the center of the western suburbs. We can just walk a few dozen steps forward. I suddenly remembered..."
As a result, the next sentence of Concubine Chen shocked her.
The kind that is both frightening and surprising.
"Doctor Jiang, beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Judging from your bones, you must be a girl!"
Doctor Jiang never imagined that after pretending to be a man for more than eighteen years, his true identity would one day be discovered by his beloved's sister.
Her face flushed and she wanted to retort, "I...I'm not. How could I be a girl?"
"Hey, Doctor Jiang, we're drunk in Helou."
The words of the Concubine Chen brought Doctor Jiang back to his senses. It seemed that the other party had just mentioned it casually and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
[Haha, Mommy really did notice something. My future aunt-in-law was frightened by Mommy.]
The Concubine Chen liked Doctor Jiang more and more. In addition, the little princess said that she was willing to go into exile with them for the sake of her brother. This alone was enough for her to willingly call her sister-in-law.
Doctor Jiang could only accept his fate and follow Concubine Chen. When the shopkeeper saw the temperament of the two, his originally cold expression instantly became lively.
"Business has been declining recently. This restaurant is one of the best in the capital. My master is in urgent need of making back his investment and buying seafood. Otherwise, the price wouldn't be this high."
The shopkeeper said this and carefully made a five.
Before the Concubine Chen could say anything, Doctor Jiang was the first to disagree.
"Five hundred taels, shopkeeper, I'm not saying that there are not many people in your shop now. Most of those scholars share a pot of tea with several people. According to the current market, two hundred and fifty taels is considered a high price."
Concubine Chen was secretly delighted that her future sister-in-law would be a good housekeeper.
The shopkeeper felt a little guilty after being criticized. In fact, the owner did ask him to sell it for two hundred taels as soon as possible. He just wanted to make some money from it, so he had not sold it yet.
"My second aunt said it right, it's just a fool. Zuihelou is so big. I just checked the plot. The original person behind Zuihelou was the Emperor of Chu. But when he realized that the Qin Dynasty was vulnerable, he was too lazy to continue stealing intelligence."
[After changing hands, it happened to be taken over by the Emperor of Sang State, and became the place where the Emperor of Sang State obtained intelligence and handed over secret agents.]
[The Emperor's father made a scene last time, and I was frightened. I quickly wanted to get rid of it, fearing that the Emperor would find out something.]
[However, the Emperor has already wiped out the last batch of secret agents. After that, the Emperor of Sang will find that he has not received any intelligence from the Qin Dynasty for a long time.]
When Concubine Chen heard this, she felt that her Majesty would definitely be interested in this shop.
"Shopkeeper, two hundred taels, this is the best price."
When Doctor Jiang heard this, he looked straight at Concubine Chen.
Your Majesty, we cannot oppress the people!
The shopkeeper's first reaction was the same, and he wanted to kick the person out immediately.
"I think you guys are just teasing me. You dress up like decent people, but you start talking about being poor."
Doctor Jiang protected the Concubine Chen and quickly hid to the side. Several guards stepped forward to block the shopkeeper.
The concubine took the opportunity to speak. "Shopkeeper, your master hasn't contacted you in a few days. Aren't you afraid that even if you send money, your master won't dare to accept it?"
The shopkeeper stopped his hand as he was trying to chase the man away. He had indeed not been able to contact his master for a few days. He just thought that his master had no time to take care of this place recently and did not think much about it.
He looked at everyone with eyes full of vigilance.
Do these people know something?
He didn't dare to gamble. If his master knew that he had delayed his important event by raising the price, he was afraid that he would be punished more severely.
"Excuse me, does this person know my master?"
Seeing the shopkeeper's expression, Concubine Chen understood, "I don't know him, I just heard that your shop has been open for nearly ten days. You claim to be in a hurry to sell it, but once someone offers a price that's not what you want, you drive them away."
"If your owner is doing the same thing, then he's not in a rush to sell. He's in such a hurry, but you're dragging your feet and asking for exorbitant prices when you meet the seller."
"If I were the master, I would definitely sell this treacherous slave who committed treason."
The Concubine Chen's voice was neither loud nor soft, and at the moment it was at the stairs, all the guests on the first floor could hear it.
