Chapter 119 Are you having an affair?
Qin Mingzhu calmly bowed and said, "I am the acting head of Mingyue Chamber of Commerce, and I am honored to meet the Queen."
She said this in a very calm voice.
The queen was stunned at first, and then her expression gradually froze.
Even Yan Xuanjing, who had been sitting next to her with a stern face, couldn't help but look at Qin Mingzhu again.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The Queen, Prince Lian, and some ministers all looked very surprised.
"You...acting as the head? Why isn't the head here?"
The queen finally came to her senses and immediately grasped the key point.
Qin Mingzhu raised her eyes slightly and said, "My mother Xu Jiaoyue is not feeling well. Mingzhu can make the decision on all matters concerning the Chamber of Commerce, big or small."
Xu Jiaoyue, Qin Mingzhu...
Mingyue Chamber of Commerce!
When the queen heard the names of the mother and daughter, she immediately understood.
I see!
Although she had asked someone to inquire about the origins of Mingyue Chamber of Commerce before, the Second Prince Yan Liuchen kept it a secret and she hadn't heard much about it in the past two months.
It was not long ago that the Queen discovered that the Imperial Concubine had exchanged a lot of good things, and she learned that the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce had become a new major imperial merchant and was quite trusted by the Emperor.
The queen's cheeks twitched, and she couldn't utter a single word of the countless words she had prepared to win over the queen.
For this new great imperial merchant, the queen secretly made a lot of preparations.
As long as she confirms the other party's identity, she will definitely come up with chips that satisfy him, so that the other party is willing to get close to her and work for her!
result……
"The Queen is looking for me, what's the matter?"
Seeing that the queen was staring at her without saying anything, Qin Mingzhu asked back.
The Southern Yan Emperor took a sip of tea, glanced at the Empress, and said calmly, "The Xu family is full of talented people. I have been searching for this great businessman for a long time. I didn't expect him to show up at my door today. What a coincidence."
The smile on the queen's face was a little stiff.
"Your Majesty is right. I too wanted to see the descendant of that renowned merchant. Seeing her today, I found her truly extraordinary. I never imagined she would be Governor Yan's new wife..."
The Southern Yan Emperor said, "That boy has good eyes. This girl's mother inherited the family business in Huaiyang City and managed the assets left by Xu Wanguan in an orderly manner. Later, she married Qin Heng and opened a shop in the capital. If it weren't for her poor health and her absence from public life for so many years, I'm afraid there would be another wealthy female businessman who could rival a country."
The emperor praised her generously, which made the queen's smile even more forced.
What can she say?
She just made things difficult for Qin Mingzhu.
In the blink of an eye, the other party's identity changed and he became the imperial merchant she wanted to win over...
This result was so unexpected that the queen felt very aggrieved.
What others didn't notice was that Prince Lian's face was extremely ugly. He even stood up and walked out without even saying hello.
"Your Highness, please slow down. Didn't we already plan to do business with the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce? Why are we still..."
The subordinates following behind Prince Lian asked.
Prince Lian's eyes were filled with anger and the corners of his mouth twitched. He felt very upset by his subordinates' words.
"Why are you still doing business? From now on, Mingyue Chamber of Commerce will be your rival!"
"But……"
The subordinates also wanted to say that the several merchants who were currently cooperating with the prince were ready to switch partners. After all, the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce's silk, brocade, rouge, powder, spices, wine, and other craftsmanship were truly unique, and the profits were hard to resist...
If there were something better, anyone who wasn't a fool would know which company to choose. The Mingyue Chamber of Commerce was the imperial merchant backed by the Second Prince, so they weren't afraid of the chambers of commerce under their palace...
This is why Qin Mingzhu was able to make the Mingyue Chamber of Commerce rise in just two months.
All the inherited secrets, manufacturing formulas, and various loyal craftsmen and manufacturing workshops left by the Xu family are the greatest heritage.
Without the recipe and skilled workers, it is impossible to replicate it no matter what.
At this moment, in addition to the Queen's fake smile, Concubine Hui's eyes when looking at Qin Mingzhu were also very different.
She originally thought that Qin Mingzhu was chosen by Yan Fengxiao because she used her pretty face to seduce him, but she never expected that Qin Mingzhu actually had such an identity now!
The affairs of the Yan family also affected the Zhao family, so naturally, the Zhao family has not had an easy time recently.
Concubine Hui's expression was very pale. She suddenly felt a little panicked, afraid that Qin Mingzhu would take revenge on the Zhao family...
"Mingzhu, I wonder if you still remember me?"
Qin Mingzhu was stunned when Concubine Hui opened her mouth.
She turned her head and saw Concubine Hui smiling at her gently, but she felt that the smile was disgusting and twisted.
Although she had never gotten along with Concubine Hui in her previous life, she had come to the palace to see Concubine Hui several times because of Old Lady Yan.
At that time, Concubine Hui was very arrogant and looked down on her. She even asked the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion to serve her tea and water.
She also heard Concubine Hui and Old Lady Yan suggest in front of her that they should discipline her daughter-in-law properly and not let her mistreat Yan Qinghao's two children. They must always discipline her...
Qin Mingzhu's voice was very cold, "Your Highness, I naturally know you, Concubine Hui."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Hui felt a little more at ease. Since Qin Mingzhu was her sister's previous daughter-in-law, and she had rarely met her before, she should be able to take this opportunity to establish some relationship with her.
"The old lady of the Yan family and I are sisters. You can call me aunt. I feel very sorry for what happened to the Yan family. A good woman like you really shouldn't be implicated by the Yan family."
What Concubine Hui said was very considerate and it was comforting to listen to.
If Qin Mingzhu had not been reborn, she would probably have really thought that the other party was kind-hearted.
"The Yan family has brought this upon themselves. I am merely trying to escape the quagmire. I simply married into the Yan family, not sold myself to them. Why should I be buried with them?"
Concubine Hui looked a little unhappy.
Qin Mingzhu's attitude clearly showed that she didn't respond to her words and hated the Yan family deeply.
"You can't say that. After all, the child you gave birth to is the bloodline of Marquis Dingyuan. The two half-grown children in the Marquis's mansion are now imprisoned. You can get away with a divorce, but your newborn child is born with original sin."
Qin Mingzhu heard it.
Concubine Hui didn't get any benefits from her soft approach, so she started to find fault and use force.
He was warning her that her child was Yan Qinghao's and she couldn't get rid of him...
However, Qin Mingzhu smiled and said, "Empress Hui, who said that the child is Yan Qinghao's?"
When these words were spoken, not only Concubine Hui was shocked, but even the others who were listening to the show were stunned.
Many people have even started to fantasize and make wild guesses.
Concubine Hui frowned and said, "If it's not Marquis Dingyuan's, then whose else could it be? Could it be that after you married into the Marquis's mansion, you've been having an affair?"
"Empress Hui, don't say anything without evidence. Otherwise, I will suspect that you want to insult my innocence and force me to die..."
