Jiang Ningyao bit her lip. The moment she raised her head, her face was already aggrieved. "Yaoyao doesn't want to embarrass the prince. The princess was originally married by the emperor, and she has the Qin family behind her."
"If this causes trouble for the prince, Yaoyao will be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life."
Now that the throne is tentatively decided, she wants to be the queen. How could she ruin her future just for a prince? Not now, not in the future.
Yuchi Shang sighed and tightened his grip on Jiang Ningyao. Yaoyao was indeed sensible, completely different from Song Jiao.
That woman has absolutely no awareness of being a woman.
"Yaoyao, you are so kind! If you could become my princess, I would be very happy."
Although Song Jiao had left, she had been monitoring the conversation between the two people and couldn't help feeling a little disgusted.
Is that happiness? Is that the green grassland on your head?
Yuhe Building, private room
Song Jiao stood by the window and looked at the bustling crowd on the street. Her eyes immediately fell on the crowded restaurant opposite. It seemed to be the original owner's shop.
"Taozi, the business across the street seems to be pretty good."
Taozi took a look, her face full of disdain. "Princess, that's Jiang Ningyao's shop. They sell all sorts of weird snacks, and the prices are not cheap! And they even have a membership system. It's just weird."
These people are simply crazy. They think that even a plate of ordinary fried potatoes can be sold for one or two taels of silver.
"It seems that many people hate her." Song Jiao tilted her head and looked at Taozi curiously. She thought she was very interesting before.
"That's absolutely disgusting. Even a servant like me knows the difference between men and women, but she, as the daughter of the censor's family, doesn't even know this? Every day she's either with this man, calling him brother! Or she's with that man. It's really embarrassing." Taozi has seen this many times, and how many lovers have been ruined!
Every time I explain that they have no other relationship, who would believe it?
Song Jiao nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, at least his thoughts are not crooked."
"That's for sure. The things she did were really cheap." Although Taozi didn't understand what the young lady meant by her thoughts were not crooked, she knew that it was definitely related to Jiang Ningyao, which was not a good thing.
Song Jiao: "But she doesn't think it's cheap. Instead, she enjoys the feeling of being pursued because all men will pursue her."
"What's the use? She's just a woman being made fun of by others. Isn't she just like a clown? She's jumping around in front of a bunch of men all day long." Taozi still looked disgusted.
She had already discovered during the palace banquet when she went with the princess to appreciate the flowers that Jiang Ningyao didn't care about how women looked at her, she only cared about what kind of men she was.
"Just say this in front of me, the princess, but don't say it outside, lest someone with ulterior motives hears it and causes trouble for you." Song Jiao's eyes were full of relief, and in one sentence she summed it up: it was all right.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and a handsome face came into view.
The man closed the fan in his hand and looked at Song Jiao. After a long while, he slowly said, "Princess Rong, I just happened to hear what you said. What should I do?"
The system prompt has popped up, this person is Yuchi Shang’s elder brother Yuchi Lie.
Song Jiao turned around and met Yuchi Lie's scrutinizing gaze. She smiled brightly, "Eavesdropping is not gentlemanly behavior."
"Really? This Yuhe Building was originally my property. It's a rare occasion for me to see my sister-in-law come to eat today, so I wanted to show my hospitality. However, I didn't expect to overhear your conversation as master and servant. It seems that I can't be blamed for this, right?" Yuchi Lie closed the door naturally, walked to the table, and said with a smile.
"Hospitality? That's fine." Song Jiao turned her head and looked at Taozi. "Taozi, you've heard what His Royal Highness Prince Shen said. Since His Royal Highness Prince Shen is so polite, then we won't refuse. Eat as much as you can! If you can't finish it, you can take some back and enjoy it slowly!"
"As you command," Taozi nodded.
It’s such a good thing, and I don’t have to spend any money, so of course I want to eat more.
Since Yuchi Lie had arrived, he had already made plans to treat everyone. However, he was a little disappointed when he didn't see the crying and fussing scene he had imagined. "Today, I heard that my sister-in-law went to Miss Jiang's shop and caused a scene. Now everyone is saying that His Highness Rongwang and Miss Jiang are true love. You are jealous of Miss Jiang and so you are making trouble. Is that true?"
Everyone in the capital knew that since Qin Mingyue married his second brother, she had been either making unreasonable demands or talking about Jiang Ningyao's actions every day.
However, today they were sitting here chatting and laughing, without even a trace of other emotions.
This also made him doubt whether the previous rumors were true.
"It's just a rumor, not that credible." Song Jiao propped her chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other, smiling brightly. "Besides, I didn't stop them from being together. If they wanted to, I would even ask the Emperor for permission to make Miss Jiang the Second Consort."
"It's a pity that Miss Jiang II doesn't seem willing to be my concubine!"
"What she wants is the position of principal wife. The only ones who haven't married yet are you and your younger brother. You better be careful."
"The food is served!" The waiter's voice outside the door interrupted their thoughts.
When a table full of delicious food was in front of her, Song Jiao started showing off immediately. Nothing is more important than eating.
"Go get a pot of wine," Yuchi Lie ordered, then turned his gaze back to Song Jiao. "Sister-in-law, do you have any good suggestions? How can I make my business better here than over there?"
He raised his folding fan and pointed across.
"Royal brother, I'm just a woman. Aren't you embarrassing me by asking me this?" Song Jiao picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into her mouth, her face full of happiness.
After all, the natural food from ancient times is more delicious.
Yuchi Lie pursed his lips and smiled, "I know you have a way, sister-in-law. After all, your conversation with the maid just now revealed..."
"Are you threatening me?" Song Jiao narrowed her eyes, put down her chopsticks, and her expression gradually turned cold. "I do have a solution, but why should I cooperate with you? What's the benefit of cooperating with you?"
"As long as you can help my brother take over the business over there, how about splitting the profits 50-50?" He raised his hand and made a five sign. "How's that for sincerity?"
"This sincerity is absolutely enough!" The indifference on Song Jiao's face immediately dissipated, replaced by a charming smile. "Those snacks are very simple to make, but to make them delicious depends on the ingredients. As long as the ingredients are good, there is no customer who can't grab them."
"After we finish eating, I'll go teach the chef."
She is the best at grabbing business.
