After he finished speaking, Ni Yueshan stood up with a tired expression. "There are other houses I need to visit. There are too many people in these portraits. If I don't visit every one of them, the prince will definitely say I'm perfunctory! Let's go!"
Ni Yueshan walked away, looking a little depressed. Miao Zhilei and Miao Rurong looked at each other with gradually hostile eyes.
After Ni Yueshan left, he headed for the next house. Qingdie followed beside the carriage and said, "Crown Princess, it would be so tiring to go from house to house. You might as well just visit two of them at random. Just for the sake of showing your appreciation."
"Hey, you're right, that's exactly what I was thinking. Let's go and take a detour to Sister Yu's house. I haven't been to check on the business for a long time!"
Arriving at the Yu residence, there was no one there, so Ni Yueshan had no choice but to go to the shop. Sure enough, she saw a rose-red figure. Ni Yueshan smiled and walked forward, saying, "Sister Yu, long time no see, I missed you so much!"
When Yu Fei heard Ni Yueshan's voice, she turned around and happily went forward to hug Ni Yueshan. "Crown Princess, you, it really is you. What wind brought you, a giant Buddha, here?"
Ni Yueshan shrugged sadly: "Isn't it because I have a headache that I come to you to comfort me and make me happy?"
Ni Yueshan was still in the mood to joke around, and Yu Fei thought that Ni Yueshan was trying to get out of the child's sadness.
"Okay, to make you happy, I'm going to show you our store's account book. It's sure to make you happy!"
"From what you said, it seems like the profit is good?"
"That's a must!" Yu Fei said confidently. The clerk had already brought the account book over. Yu Fei slapped the account book in front of Ni Yueshan and said, "Boss, please take a look."
Ni Yueshan knew from her confident expression that the profit was definitely good. Curious, she opened the paper and couldn't help but exclaim, "Not bad! The profit is even higher than the last time I checked the bill. How did you do it?"
"I didn't do much. I just opened the shop and started doing business. As the shop was open for a long time, I started to get repeat customers. They started to feel more confident about our gold and silver jewelry, so we made this profit."
"Crown Princess, where have you been playing recently? You look so thin, and your skin has become so rough."
Yu Fei's face was filled with heartache, wishing the skinny person was her and not Ni Yueshan. Ni Yueshan said awkwardly, "It's okay, it will be back to normal after a while."
Yu Fei and Ni Yueshan chatted for a few minutes and made an appointment to have dinner together next time. After that, Ni Yueshan went to two more restaurants and then returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Jing Yuchen was curious about how Ni Yueshan handled the matter, so he waited for him at the mansion early.
Ni Yueshan sat down beside Jing Yuchen in frustration: "You are the one who takes the concubine, but why am I the one who has to run around?"
She pounded her legs in frustration, and Jing Yuchen understood and walked over to her and pounded her legs.
"Princess Consort, tell me, what's going on?"
"Do you want to hear about the looks and talents of these women? Or what else do you want to hear?"
"Of course, I want to hear how these women gave up when faced with difficulties!"
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. These people won't back down in the face of difficulties. The position of the Crown Prince's concubine is actually a very high status for them."
"I deliberately selected two candidates from the same mansion, and also deliberately separated the two daughters of the second and first wives, so that they could fight among themselves. If one of them dies or becomes disabled, then the winner will be said to be unworthy and unqualified. The injured or disabled person is naturally even less worthy of being the Crown Prince's concubine."
Ni Yueshan seemed very proud of what he said, and he lay down comfortably on the chair behind him. Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan with an admiring expression: "Anything else? Anything else?"
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at him and said, "No more, how can there be so much? Just wait a few days and see the results."
Jing Yuchen was not disappointed and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll wait!"
The Queen had a talk with Ni Yueshan that day and felt that Ni Yueshan's attitude was very bad. She was originally feeling uncomfortable, but then the palace maid came to report that Ni Yueshan had obediently visited the Miao family and other women's homes, working hard to select the prince's concubine.
The queen was originally not very happy, but the problem was solved.
"It's even better if you can understand the current situation!"
The people the emperor sent to Tufan to check the gold and stone also rushed back at full speed.
He knelt before the emperor, who looked expectant: "How is it?"
"Gold and stone do exist, and they are all over the mountain beneath the earth's strata."
