Chapter 23 Yun Qingqing is simply asking for humiliation!
Xiao Changheng nodded:
"Brother, please speak."
"Well... Your Royal Brother and the Crown Prince are getting married on the same day. This is a double happiness and a rare opportunity that only comes once in a century! I specially grant you two the right to hold your wedding in the inner hall of the Imperial Palace. What do you think, Your Royal Brother?" The Emperor said with a smile on his face.
Xiao Changheng's face turned slightly cold, and he wanted to refuse on the spot:
"I think..."
The Queen saw his intention and immediately interrupted with a smile:
"The Imperial Master has also calculated that holding two weddings in the same palace will help to prosper the country and stabilize our Liang Dynasty. I believe the Regent will not refuse, right?"
"..." Xiao Changheng's expression became even colder.
Yun Qingqing glanced at the prince who had a meaningful look on his face and suddenly chuckled.
Even the prosperity of the country and the stability of the regime were brought up, which was clearly a deliberate attempt to put him in a position where he could not refuse.
"Being able to hold the wedding in the imperial palace is a great thing. How could Your Highness not agree to it? Don't you think so, Your Highness?" Yun Qingqing said with a smile.
She was worried that Xiao Changheng didn't understand what she meant, so she secretly squeezed his hand hard.
The man was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled:
"Since Qingqing likes it, let's do it this way."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an edict to decide the matter.
Yun Bailian lowered her head, the smile on her face seemed to be one of joy, but in fact it was also a bit of pride.
Now there is no need to worry that all the ministers in the court will go to attend the Regent’s wedding and the Prince’s Mansion will be a dull occasion.
Moreover, the two weddings will be held in the imperial palace at the same time, and Yun Qingqing's ugly face will be the best foil for him!
Even if she is the regent princess, she will still be laughed at by everyone!
The queen was also very satisfied.
The Imperial Preceptor said that the Crown Prince's marriage to Tian Feng would be an excellent opportunity to suppress the Regent's luck, so she specifically persuaded the Emperor to arrange their wedding at the same place.
I've waited for so long, and finally I can completely solve this big problem!
…
Early the next morning, Yun Qingqing put on a veil and went out of the house to East Street.
She first bought a large amount of high-quality cinnabar and talisman paper, as well as some useful items, and put them all into the ring.
Finally, she came to the door of a large shop.
Huichun Hall.
Yun Qingqing walked in, put a bill on the counter, and asked the waiter:
"How many kinds of medicines can be prepared here?"
When the clerk heard this, he said with an unhappy look:
"Look at what you're saying. This is Huichuntang! How many medicinal herbs in the world can't be found here..."
As he spoke, he pulled over the list and looked at it, but his eyes grew wider and wider, and then gradually became silent.
"So can it be fully equipped? The price is negotiable." Yun Qingqing said calmly.
"Please wait a moment, sir! I'll call the steward right away!"
When the waiter came to his senses, his expression had changed. He nodded and bowed, said something, and then ran to the back hall.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a green forged robe came over and said politely to Yun Qingqing:
"I am Tang Chuan, the manager of Huichuntang. Did you bring this order?"
"Well, can you match them?"
Manager Tang nodded:
"Although the herbs on your list are precious, with the background of Huichuntang, there is no problem. However, there is a hundred-year-old snow ginseng that is the treasure of our store. There is only one of them, and the price is too high..."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"Just name your price."
She also carried with her the warehouse full of valuables that Yun Zhiping had privately stored, so she had no shortage of money.
Seeing that she looked like she had plenty of money, Manager Tang thought that she was indeed a big customer, so he immediately asked his waiter to bring in a tray with a crystal clear white lotus on it, which was the century-old snow ginseng.
"This hundred-year-old snow ginseng costs 10,000 taels of silver, plus the other herbs on your list, the total is 10,350 taels."
Although other medicinal herbs are also precious, their total value is only a fraction of that of snow ginseng.
Yun Qingqing nodded, took out the banknote from the space and was about to hand it over, when someone behind him suddenly said:
"I want this hundred-year-old snow ginseng! How much is it?"
She turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was a young man, who was very elegant and holding a folding fan. She couldn't help but frowned.
This man was Ye Zhishen, the eldest son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. He had always been on good terms with Xiao Zirui and had always looked down on the original owner, always mocking and ridiculing her whenever they saw her.
"I'm sorry, sir. We only have one hundred-year-old snow ginseng in our store, and this girl has already bought it," said Manager Tang.
"How much did she pay for it?" Ye Zhishen smiled without caring too much.
Manager Tang told the truth: "Ten thousand taels."
Ye Zhishen immediately raised his chin:
"I'll give you 20,000 taels. Sell it to me!"
Seeing Manager Tang hesitate, he glanced at the banknote in Yun Qingqing's hand and said:
"She hasn't paid yet, has she? I'm offering twice as much as she is. As businessmen, how can you not make money with an extra 10,000 taels of silver?"
Manager Tang was moved, and said to Yun Qingqing with an apologetic smile:
"My dear guest, you see, what the young master said does make sense. This hundred-year-old snow ginseng..."
Yun Qingqing's voice was slightly cold:
"I've heard that Huichuntang is fair and honest in its pricing. Does your boss know that you're doing business this way?"
Manager Tang choked.
Ye Zhishen narrowed his eyes after hearing her voice, stared at her for a few seconds and then sneered:
"Who do I think it is? Isn't this Miss Yun, who is disliked by the prince but clings to him all day long? Why? It's not like they are asking for a higher price. I am willing to pay 20,000 taels. What's wrong with the highest bidder getting it? If you have the guts, you can offer a higher price!"
Manager Tang nodded in agreement:
"That's right, since there is only this one hundred-year-old snow ginseng and both of you want it, then the one with the highest bid will win!"
Yun Qingqing's tone turned completely cold:
"I want this hundred-year-old snow ginseng, and I won't pay a penny more than the agreed ten thousand taels."
Ye Zhishen glanced at her as if he was watching a joke:
"I say, Yun Qingqing, you are too arrogant, aren't you? What you want must belong to you? You keep pestering the prince all day, but has he married you? And now you think that as long as you hold on to it, you can take away the hundred-year-old snow ginseng for 10,000 taels?"
As he said this, he handed a banknote to Manager Tang:
"Don't pay any attention to her, this is 20,000 taels, pack the things for me now!"
Yun Qingqing took a quick step forward, slapped the banknote on the table, grabbed the hundred-year-old snow ginseng, stuffed it into her sleeve, and put it directly into the space.
Put the money in your pocket and enjoy it.
"What are you doing!" Ye Zhishen asked in surprise.
Manager Tang also looked angry:
"Why are you still trying to rob? Hand over the things right now, and I will let you go!"
"Pursue?" Yun Qingqing sneered, "Huichuntang has always clearly marked the price, and never raised the price! Does your boss know that you are doing this?"
"I was the one who decided on this hundred-year-old snow ginseng today. Ten thousand taels is the agreed price. No one can take it away from me!"
"Manager Tang can call your boss here right now to see if Divine Doctor Tang is willing to sell it to me for 10,000 taels, or to him for 20,000 taels!"
Ye Zhishen sneered:
"Okay! Then let's go find Doctor Tang and see who he is willing to sell it to! If you don't hand over the snow ginseng by then, don't blame me for reporting it to the police!"
Who does this woman think she is?
The Ye family and the Tang family are old friends. She is simply asking for trouble!
