Chapter 95: Being Cowardly and Doing Big Things
When Ye Yunchu heard this, he just said calmly: "Yeah."
Gu Yuanqing joked, "Then you will have to call Zize "brother-in-law" from now on."
Xu Yangxi raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Yunchu, then said, "It hasn't been decided yet."
Gu Yuanqing waved his folding fan and drank two more glasses of wine, a little proudly: "So, I still have a chance?"
He slammed his folding fan shut and said, "Let my mother go to the mansion for a walk tomorrow."
The prince put down his wine cup and said calmly, "Don't make things worse."
Then the prince straightened up and said, "As for me, I can come to your house and sit down."
Gu Yuanqing laughed when he heard this, knowing that he was joking. He held up his closed folding fan and saluted the Crown Prince. "I just looked in the mirror and felt that I am not worthy to compete with His Royal Highness. That's all."
Xu Yangxi held his forehead and said, "Although it's not settled yet, it's almost certain. Wan'er has always treated Your Highness as her cousin, just like a brother like me. If Your Highness is joking, then forget it, and don't take it seriously."
Gu Yuanqing walked up to the prince, opened his folding fan, fanned him, and fanned the flames: "How can it be no good? Your Highness has shown me favor, and you are so bold, Xu Yangxi, and you are allowed to be so picky!"
Xu Yangxi immediately stood up and knelt down: "I dare not."
He had already passed the imperial examination, having been the top scorer last year, and was now employed in the Hanlin Academy. He was a very formal official and a man, a bit of a prude, so naturally he wouldn't dare to joke around in front of the Crown Prince.
Gu Yuanqing is different. Like Ye Yunchu, he has been studying and hanging out with the prince since he was a child, and is used to being frivolous.
Gu Yuanqing smiled secretly and was glanced at by the prince.
Then Gu Yuanqing looked at Ye Yunchu again with a flattering look: "What do you think, my lord?"
Ye Yunchu didn't even stand up, he just bowed and said, "Then I'll give it up."
Gu Yuanqing was enjoying the fun and wanted to say something when he was pulled down by the prince.
He raised an eyebrow, then calmed down.
The prince looked at Ye Yunchu and the little concubine who was kneeling beside him with her head down and never looked up and smiled again.
Then he said, "Never mind. Everything has its first come, first served. I'm usually too busy, so let it go this time. Next time, I'll definitely take a good look at the noble ladies in the capital."
Gu Yuanqing covered half of his face with his fan: "Then what's there to see? I think the sister of Xiuzhu family is pretty good."
Ye Yunchu's face changed then, and a wine cup flew towards Gu Yuanqing, hitting him and making him cover his forehead and cry out.
Ye Yunchu sat up straight and said, "Shuang'er is unruly and brainless. She must not be a candidate for the Crown Princess."
The prince sat in the high seat, said nothing, but just picked up the wine cup and drank.
Ye Yunchu was really afraid that Gu Yuanqing's words would ruin everything, and he was afraid that the prince was still thinking about Ye Shuang.
It would be fine if Ye Shuang got into trouble herself, but if her family was implicated, it would be difficult to deal with.
Ye Shuang really doesn't have the brains to be the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince ascends the throne one day and she becomes the Queen, she will only end up being deposed.
It won't end well.
He quickly changed the subject: "I have this winemaking recipe. I wonder if I can enter your Highness's winery?"
The prince looked up at Ye Yunchu, then nodded: "Of course, how much do you want?"
"That depends on how much Your Highness gives me."
"This recipe is not yours, right?"
The prince raised his chin and said, "Let her answer."
Ye Yunchu nudged Li Ruanruan, who lowered her head and said nothing: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has a question for you."
Li Runrun raised her eyes and subconsciously made eye contact with the prince, then quickly lowered her head in panic.
Ye Yunchu seemed to know that she was afraid, so he grabbed her trembling hand and said, "It's okay, just tell the truth."
Li Ruanruan knelt before the prince and kowtowed deeply before saying, "Please, please ask a question, Your Highness."
Ye Yunchu was amused and reached out to pinch her little face: "Why are you stuttering again?"
Li Runrun was already very nervous, and when Ye Yunchu smiled, she felt shy, panicked, and even had a sense of guilt.
Just when he was at a loss, he heard the prince's gentle voice: "How much profit do you want?"
Li Ruanruan had also heard this and knew that the prince was asking about the wine-making recipe and the investment. She kowtowed before replying, "I will follow your instructions, my lord."
The prince's voice was dignified without anger: "I am asking you a question now."
Li Runrun was frightened and trembled. Her eyes rolled around, then she stood up slightly and looked at the prince for help.
Ye Yunchu cleared his throat, made a five with his hand and casually put it on his nose.
Li Ruanruan saw his index finger.
He understood it instantly and said quickly, "Nine, ninety percent profit."
Ye Yunchu coughed suddenly and held his forehead. It's 50% profit. What does the concubine think?
Little Ruanruan has been taught badly by him. She is now brave enough to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth and ask for 90% profit from the prince. She doesn't want to live anymore.
The prince smiled and said, "99% profit, what a big tone."
Li Ruanruan hurriedly explained: "It's 90% profit."
The prince turned the wine cup and looked at Li Ruanruan: "Who is nine?"
He added, "Look at me and talk."
Li Runrun slowly raised her eyes and met the gaze of such a majestic figure as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Ruanruan was too busy to dare to look at it anymore and knocked her head to the ground again: "Prince Nine."
The ninth one is the Crown Prince and the first one is the Prince.
How dare the prince compete with the crown prince for business? He doesn't want to live anymore.
Gu Yuanqing was the first to laugh, "So it's Prince Jiu. I was wondering who was so bold as to give the Prince a 10% profit."
He closed his folding fan again: "I didn't expect the prince to be so generous. I must be a witness."
Ye Yunchu pulled Li Ruanruan into his arms and said, "Didn't I tell you to say 50% profit? We agreed on 40% and 60% profit. How come you offered 90% profit? You're so brave. When I get back, I'll deduct the loss from your monthly salary."
He looked at me as if he was blaming me, but he wasn't actually angry.
Li Runrun's face turned red and pale, and then she looked at the prince pleadingly, meaning that he should not deduct her money.
Don't think she doesn't know. When he said to deduct it from her monthly salary, he actually meant to deduct it from her share of Su embroidery.
That was all deducted.
So Li Ruorun pushed the prince, asking him to let her go, as it could be salvaged.
Ye Yunchu didn't let go, so Li Ruanruan took a bite of him.
Ye Yunchu hissed, and Li Ruanruan seized the opportunity to stand up, then knelt down facing the prince. She quickly thought of a solution and said, "We only discussed one winemaking recipe. We can discuss other recipes separately."
Ye Yunchu rubbed the painful part of his tiger's mouth, looked at the soft pear, and chuckled.
She is smart.
The prince looked at Li Ruanruan and said, "I don't have time to discuss each prescription with you. I'm going to talk about all of them."
Li Runrun was sweating coldly, knowing that it was not easy to fool those in higher positions.
She lowered her head: "It's all just one prescription."
The prince slammed the table and said, "How outrageous!"
Li Runrun knelt down and backed away, sticking close to Ye Yunchu's feet. She reached out and grabbed him.
It means it's his turn to play next.
Ye Yunchu found it funny. He didn't expect that Li Runrun, who looked timid, actually did such big things.
