Yan Shiyue said: "Father, I was wondering, who do you think is the richest person in this capital?"
Emperor Ming Yan looked at her sideways, and Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "Which noble lady in the boudoir doesn't have tens of thousands of silver in her hands? Isn't it a pity to waste this money? I originally thought of asking my mother or the emperor's sister-in-law to come forward, but I always felt that it was a bit too formal, and the fourth sister-in-law was too serious. Now, I think it's just right to have a sister-in-law who is the champion of the trade department take the lead. It's a pity that she is a concubine, it would be better if she was the main wife."
Emperor Ming Yan was speechless: "You are really something... You even took other people's dowries!"
Yan Shiyue raised her eyebrows: "The way to make a country strong is to circulate silver. It is also good for them. Money can make money! What's the point of hiding silver at home?"
"All right, I'm too lazy to care about you," Emperor Ming Yan said, "Then Xie just needs to have the title of Jieyuan, and don't take part in the lower examinations."
Yan Shiyue nodded: "Got it."
Soon the government issued a notice and added new laws to prohibit women from taking any examinations. At the same time, it conferred the title of Princess on Xie, the winner of the imperial examination, as a consolation.
You know, the Fourth Prince has not been crowned a king, and now he only has the identity of a prince. This is equivalent to Xie Meiwan passing the examination and obtaining a fourth-rank imperial status on her own. Many people privately laugh at the Fifth Prince, but there are also many people who secretly admire his humility.
On this side, Yan Shiyue came out of the imperial study. The prince was waiting for her outside, and the two of them chatted as they walked.
After walking for a while, he saw Qiba walking over excitedly. Yan Shiyue suddenly remembered what his subordinates reported, saying that Qiba's Flying Bird Chess could not be sold, so he told others that this was a new product from the Ministry of Commerce... and just sold a batch.
...
...
Yan Shiyue waved and said, "Come here."
Seven or eight people came over and greeted.
Yan Shiyue said: "When I gave you the Flying Bird Chess, I told you that this thing is yours now. It has nothing to do with me. I don't care what you do. Do you remember?"
The two looked at each other and said, "Remember."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Since you remember, why do you say it's from the Ministry of Commerce?"
The Seventh Prince said: "They don't recognize it, so it's hard to sell..."
"Are you waiting for the rice to cook?" Yan Shiyue said, "I don't care whether you can sell it well or not, but you are not allowed to sell it under the name of the Ministry of Commerce! Do you hear me?"
The Seventh Prince asked: "Why?"
"Why do you say that?" Yan Shiyue said sternly, "The Ministry of Commerce is the golden signboard of the imperial court. It is not something you can use to play with. The things produced by the Ministry of Commerce are special, epoch-making, and meaningful. You cannot have such toys."
The Seventh Prince stiffened his neck and said, "But isn't the Ministry of Commerce a place for doing business? We are also doing business! I am a prince, and the whole Dayan belongs to our family! Borrowing the name of the Ministry of Commerce is a legitimate loan!"
@%&$%&!!!
What a naughty kid! Yan Shiyue wants to slap him!
The prince interrupted him hastily, saying, "The Ministry of Commerce is related to the national treasury, which is very important and cannot be compared to ordinary business. The law clearly stipulates that you cannot pretend to be a fake. If you don't understand the relationship, go and ask the teacher. In short, in the future, you cannot do business under the name of the Ministry of Commerce. If the people imitate it, what should we do?"
"Who are you trying to scare?" The Seventh Prince said disdainfully, "You are just a coward and you dare not do anything!"
What kind of naughty kids are these!
Yan Shiyue kicked him up.
If I don’t beat you up, you’ll really think you’re the boss!
The seventh prince let out a howl and began to fight back. No, he started to fight back with his feet.
The prince simply couldn't bear to watch, and shouted urgently: "Yuer! Stop!"
He dragged Yan Shiyue to the side with one hand, blocking her, and yelled at the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Prince! Stop it! Do you know the rules? Kneel down!"
The Crown Prince had a cold face, and the Seventh Prince was still afraid. He stopped with grievance. The Eighth Prince came over and forced him to kneel down.
When Emperor Ming Yan received the letter, he was so angry that he was speechless: "You are a mother! You hit me when you disagree with me! What a dog's temper!"
Yan Shiyue was even angrier than him: "If this was my son, I would beat him eight times a day! For Aye's sake, I have already endured it again and again!"
As she spoke, she looked down and saw several shoe prints on the hem of her skirt. She immediately rushed over to complain, "Aye! Look, look how he kicked me! You should take care of your son! Don't bully others like this!"
She hugged Emperor Ming Yan and cried.
The Seventh Prince, who had been crying and complaining first, was dumbfounded... He never expected that there would be such a shameless adult in the world.
He had tears in his eyes and stood there with his mouth open, not knowing what to say for a long time.
The prince almost laughed out loud, and coughed several times before he managed to hold back his laughter.
The Seventh Prince said: "But, but Father, she was the first to do it!"
Yan Shiyue's tears came suddenly, and she cried like a real pear blossom in the rain: "I only kicked him once, but he kicked me many times, it hurts so much..."
The Seventh Prince was so angry that he started to cry. He pointed at her and said, "But she..."
Emperor Ming Yan held Yan Shiyue in his arms and patted her gently, scolding: "What she! Who is she!"
The Seventh Prince's face turned pale with fear: "It's my sister."
Emperor Ming Yan said coldly: "Don't you understand the rules of seniority? Have you read all the books of sages? Your brother and sister taught you, but you still dare to argue? Who taught you this rule? You even fought with your sister. You are really brave! It's outrageous!"
So Emperor Ming Yan punished him by confining him to his room for seven or eight days and making him copy books.
Yan Shiyue went to Kunning Palace, and the queen poked her finger with both anger and joy.
Yan Shiyue said nonchalantly, "I've never seen someone who grabs a sheep and tries to pull it hard, and then doesn't get anything back after pulling it. He has great power but a muddled mind. If we don't quickly draw a line between ourselves and this kind of person, there will be endless troubles and we'll be in so much trouble that we'll die."
So it's just right to use this incident as an excuse to make a fuss that's half true and half false.
She came out and threw the clothes she had changed to Jin Yu: "Go, find Concubine Ning and ask her to compensate me for my clothes."
The queen looked at it and sighed.
To be honest, although Yan Shiyue does things in a very nonsensical way, it is really fun to watch.
The prince also laughed and asked, "How did they provoke you?"
Yan Shiyue quietly repeated what he said before, and the prince was not surprised: "I'm angry about this, and I can't stop being angry."
"I'm not angry." Yan Shiyue said, "It's normal to say bad things about people behind their backs. No one is a saint and no one can avoid it. I just think that he got a favor from you, but he didn't remember your kindness at all. Instead, he thought that he was smart and you were stupid. This kind of concept is not worth making friends with."
The prince nodded: "Qi Lang is always chattering, but he doesn't have any good intentions."
But in a place like the harem, innocence is the original sin.
Yan Shiyue nodded: "The more people like this, the more likely they are to cause trouble. Mainly, I don't have that much patience to deal with them."
The prince asked, "As for Wu Lang, do you want to use him?"
"Well," Yan Shiyue said, "Look, give the couple something to do alone." She leaned over to his ear and told him her plan in detail.
The prince smiled and said, "Okay, brother, I understand."
The Queen watched from afar.
She seemed to understand Emperor Ming Yan's plan, but for so many years, she really treated the prince as her own son. What she feared most was that a rift would arise between them.
But no matter what Emperor Ming Yan did, the prince just wouldn't respond. The relationship between the brother and sister was always very good, and they would discuss everything together... Looking at the two people in apricot yellow robes sitting side by side, the queen really felt very comfortable in her heart.
On the other side, Concubine Ning was already very angry when she heard about being confined to copy books.
As a result, Jin Yu then sent Yan Shiyue's clothes over and asked her to compensate.
You know, this is an apricot yellow robe! Where can she find an apricot yellow robe for her? Isn't this just embarrassing?
Concubine Ning could no longer bear it, so she went to Emperor Ming Yan to complain, holding her clothes.
