When Hua Wanchi arrived at the mountain, the emperor was also there, and the pavilion master respectfully greeted him at the door.
This time, the Pavilion Master was not behind any door, but was standing in front of the gate of Mingyuan Pavilion.
It was hard to ignore the emperor standing there, and his majesty made the pavilion master tremble with fear.
Hua Wanchi thought to himself, he is usually so relaxed and at ease, but now he looks embarrassed when he sees the emperor.
However, the emperor was present after all, so Hua Wanchi had to pay his respects.
"This commoner pays homage to His Majesty."
The emperor looked at Hua Wanchi and smiled, and there was something intriguing in that smile.
"It's you. In this place, there's no need for such formalities. Just keep it simple. Stand up, don't be shy."
Hua Wanchi smiled flatteringly, "Every time I see Your Majesty, I can't help but be overwhelmed by your majesty's majesty and can't help but bow down in worship."
The Pavilion Master's eyes widened slightly, and the look he gave him was clearly one of shock, followed by a hint of contempt.
This guy is usually so straightforward and arrogant, but he is more sensible than the emperor when facing him.
He switches between these two faces so effortlessly.
The emperor found it quite interesting. Although he knew that Hua Wanchi was flattering him, he didn't mind it at all.
The emperor couldn't help but straighten his back a little: "You came at the right time."
Hua Wanchi was surprised. Could it be that he was waiting for her?
Now that she said that, why did she feel like she was being set up?
Hua Wanchi and the Pavilion Master met each other's eyes, only to see the other party revealing a cunning smile.
OK, OK.
That's how you play it, right?
Hua Wanchi was neither humble nor arrogant at this moment, revealing a rather profound smile.
As if everything was expected.
"Your Majesty and the Pavilion Master are waiting for me?"
The Pavilion Master bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this girl is the one who provided the gold, golden nanmu wood, and ginseng."
The emperor smiled and nodded, seemingly not surprised.
"I haven't asked you your name yet, what is it?"
Hua Wanchi did not reveal his name, mainly because everyone called the young man "Young Man".
Calling her "young hero" made her seem more relaxed and free.
"Your Majesty, my name is Hua Kaizao."
The Emperor said: "You call yourself a commoner, yet you act in a rather bold and unrestrained manner and dress like a man. Could it be that you consider yourself a man?"
Hua Wanchi smiled faintly: "To answer your Majesty, it is not easy for women in this world, and it is more convenient to disguise as a man. The reason why I called myself a commoner in front of your Majesty was not to deceive you, but it was just a habit that made me forget to change my identity for a moment."
In fact, she simply used the puppet too much, and subconsciously felt that she was using the identity of a man in public, so she naturally called herself a man.
However, she decided to reduce the frequency of using puppets in the future so that she could have two sets of vests.
Two identities, no interference with each other.
It’s full of mystery.
The emperor didn't seem to care about anything.
Although Hua Wanchi is in his previous life's body and is in his twenties, modern people do not have such great pressure to survive, so they age slowly and generally look younger than their actual age.
Especially college students who are just entering society.
Plus, Hua Wanchi's face has always been very tender.
So, Hua Wanchi looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Such a young girl dares to show off her financial resources and courage so boldly. It is impossible that she has no support behind her.
The emperor was really a little cautious and didn't dare to do anything to her.
Of course, everything is based on the premise that Hua Wanchi is useful.
Hua Wanchi had almost figured it out.
At the beginning, Mingyuan Pavilion may have been involved in a power struggle. There was a faction in the court that wanted to destroy the Jianghu, a group that should not be underestimated.
Once the Jianghu ceases to exist, there is certainly no need to preserve Mingyuan Pavilion.
However, the large amount of money he provided to the Pavilion Master was handed over by the Pavilion Master, and Mingyuan Pavilion had other values, so the Emperor naturally intended to keep it.
Now they mainly want to target themselves - the source of wealth behind the Pavilion Master.
After thinking it through, Hua Wanchi had a plan in mind.
She smiled and bowed, then made her point clear: "I am a humble commoner. The only reason Your Majesty and the Pavilion Master have condescended to wait here is, after much reflection, my meager financial resources."
"If Your Majesty needs me, I will gladly offer my services. However, Your Majesty is of noble status, and what you lack most is not mere gold and silver. It just so happens that I have a grain crop from outside the domain that can adapt to the barren terrain and is very drought-resistant. It has a considerable yield, and both the stems, leaves, and roots are edible.
"Especially the roots, which are filling and have a sweet and sticky taste."
Hua Wanchi had inquired and found out that sweet potatoes seemed to have not yet appeared in this world.
If the emperor wants to fight for power, he must win the hearts of the people. If he can offer something like sweet potatoes to save lives, the weight of his words will naturally be incomparable to that of others.
The emperor nodded: "You are quite insightful, but is that thing really as magical as you say?"
Hua Wanchi smiled and said, "If your majesty has any concerns, you can open up a few plots of land for trial planting. The climate here is warm, and the harvest will be ready in just three months."
The emperor's face was serious: "As you said, we'll see the result in three months."
The emperor was not surprised to hear about this thing. After all, the world is so big, there are always things he has never heard of.
Since the flower has bloomed so early, it would be the best outcome if it could benefit the people.
As for Hua Wanchi's background, the emperor had no intention of exploring it for the time being.
After all, according to what she said, she seemed to have had a lot of contact with foreign countries, and her accent seemed to be slightly different from that of the Central Plains.
Maybe it's from outside the domain.
Since it can bring him benefits, he naturally won't delve too much into it.
In other words, he wouldn't delve too much into it while she was temporarily useful.
As for gold, the same thing applies: Hua Wanchi is reluctant to part with it.
The amount of gold that could impress the emperor was not a small number, and it would not be good for her to please the emperor.
But she could have as many renewable resources as she wanted, such as pearls, wood, and ginseng.
Hua Wanchi waved his hand and presented a box of huge pearls, a box of ginseng, a hundred pieces of fine rosewood, and two pieces of ambergris.
The emperor immediately showed a very gentle smile. Even an emperor would not be dissatisfied with too many good things.
The Pavilion Master looked so upset. With so many good things, why hadn't they given them to him?
I knew Hua Wanchi was rich, but I didn't expect she had so many good things.
If I had known that she had such a strong foundation, the Pavilion Master would have revealed more truths. Although most of it had to be offered up, the hands that had touched the fat would definitely get some oil on them.
The Pavilion Master sighed.
I regret it so much.
The emperor was delighted and asked, "What reward do you want?"
Hua Wanchi smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I don't ask for much. I just want to go to Mingyuan Pavilion and pick out two secret books."
