Isn't this just the same mess as before?
Almost no one was convinced by this.
Even the prince's eyes when he looked at Duan Rong were full of hostility and suspicion.
Duan Rongshi did not even thank the emperor for his grace.
Because he didn't want to stay in Da Chu and become the King of Yue!
Therefore, he was quite angry that the Emperor of Chu had arbitrarily conferred the title of king on him.
But he did not go to see the Emperor of Chu again.
He must have been avoiding him today, so Duan Rongshi calmly turned around and strode away despite everyone's unhappy stares.
Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu looked at each other.
The two of them quietly left the hall, and when no one was watching, they quickly ran after him.
"Brother Li——"
"Brother Li—"
"etc!!"
"Congratulations! His Majesty has crowned you the King of the Opposite Sex! You're still so young, your future is limitless!"
"That's right. His Majesty has shown such great favor to you, and yet he hasn't punished the two of us. You are truly capable. We both want to kneel down and become your disciples."
"Tell me how you did it?"
"That's right, did you put a curse on him?"
Duan Rongshi looked at Yang Qilang who was talking nonsense and said, "Be careful with your words."
Zhang Tingyu slapped Yang Qilang in the face.
"You want to kill him?"
"It's thanks to Brother Li's great kindness that we were spared the Emperor's implicating us in the capital crime of abducting him that day at the Imperial Mausoleum. From now on, Brother Li and I are in the same boat. You must be more prudent in your words and actions in the future!"
"Be careful or we'll all be in trouble!"
Duan Rongshi agreed with Zhang Tingyu's words.
He nodded to Yang Qilang and said, "Just listen to him."
"However, please do not publicize the fact that you have been crowned king for the time being."
"I don't want to be the King of Yue."
"When the time comes, I might leave Da Chu."
When Yang Qilang and Zhang Tingyu heard this, they froze in place as if struck by lightning.
"What did you say?"
The two of them wanted to hug Duan Rongshi's thighs and beg him.
"If you leave, how will we both survive? You can't leave!"
"That's right, now that violent... Oh no, now that His Majesty has shown such favor to you, you are in great favor, where else are you going?"
"You don't want to be a king, but you want to be a son-in-law of a merchant?"
"Stop it, isn't it happy for my sister-in-law to be a princess? You won't have to work hard on business matters in the future."
"Don't be confused."
"That's right, stop it now and don't say such nonsense again!"
The Emperor of Chu acted quickly.
Before Duan Rongshi returned home, all his rewards had already arrived at Nangong Mansion.
Eunuch Ji read out the imperial edict first, then smiled from ear to ear and continued to greet Duan Rongshi respectfully: "Li... Oh no, it's His Royal Highness the King of Yue."
"Congratulations! From now on, you will be a top-notch noble in Nan'an City."
"If I have offended you in the past, I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
He then said a bunch of nice things, and after the palace servants had piled up mountains of gifts that filled several courtyards, he took his men back to the palace to report.
Duan Rongshi pinched his forehead with a headache.
He looked at Zhui Yu who was standing aside: "Where's the Madam?"
Zhui Yu replied, "He didn't come back last night. He said he was dealing with some business at the shop."
Duan Rongshi was a little surprised: "You haven't come back yet?"
Looking at Zhui Yu, whose temperament had changed drastically and who had become as calm and composed as Leng Dian and the others, Duan Rongshi asked, "Would you like to go out with me?"
Zhuiyu didn't dare to hesitate and nodded quickly.
"Master, Madam is in Wangzhen Tower."
Wangxianlou was the second gold and silver shop that Li Qingluo reopened after Duan Rongshi left.
Now it has become the most sought-after gold and silver jewelry shop in the whole of Nan'an.
The styles, textures, and even materials inside are now the best-looking, most exquisite, and most authentic in the imperial city.
There are both cheap things.
But there are also very valuable hairpins, hairpins, head ornaments, etc. that cannot be bought in other stores in Nan'an.
Most importantly, almost every one of them is unique and a precious item that can never be imitated by others.
Who doesn’t like it?
Therefore, Li Qingluo is indeed becoming richer and richer now.
In order to lure her back, Zong Zheng Wuheng really went to great lengths this time.
Although Li Qingluo acted as if nothing was wrong, Nanny Zheng almost panicked completely when she came back.
That bastard Zong Zheng Wuheng would rather sacrifice the lives of two of his confidants than burn down Li Qingluo's gold and silver shop.
