Chapter 149 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 19 Thank you, Imperial Concubine...
Speaking of this, Yan Mi was no longer sleepy. She had made up an excuse for a long time before, and it just so happened that it would come in handy today.
She protected Han Chengdao in order to gradually reveal the fact that she knew martial arts. Of course, she was afraid that it would be difficult to find another opportunity later. Moreover, after her action, no one would doubt her relationship with the State of Zhao anymore.
"I've actually always been good at martial arts, but you guys protected me too well, so I never had a chance to use my skills. Besides, my parents didn't ask me, so I couldn't tell them." Yan Mi said.
"Always? I remember that when you went out to play with your friends and encountered bandits, I was the one who saved you." Yan Cheng said.
Yan Mi coughed, "I was so panicked at that moment that I forgot I even knew martial arts."
Father Yan sighed, "Then why didn't you tell us? If you hadn't protected His Majesty this time, you would have kept this a secret from us forever."
"I didn't intend to hide it, and you are all so powerful, you don't need my protection. Do you plan to let me go into battle and kill the enemy just because you know I know Wu? If it were normal times, I would have the guards given to me by the emperor, and they would be enough to protect me. I really wouldn't need to do it myself, so I didn't tell you." Yan Mi said.
Go into battle and kill the enemy? How is that possible!
It was naturally impossible for Yan Mi, a girl, to go on such a dangerous journey.
Her explanation made sense. In addition, there was Yan's mother who doted on her daughter. As soon as Yan's father asked a question, Yan's mother glared at him, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Han Chengdao spoke up at this time, coming to Yan Mi's rescue, "It's a good thing that Mi'er knows martial arts. It will be able to protect himself in the future, which is like adding a layer of insurance for himself. We should be happy."
Mother Yan nodded in agreement, "Yes, our Mi'er is amazing. Your father hasn't even taught you martial arts, but you already know..."
She looked at Yan Mi and asked, "Your father never taught you, how do you know martial arts?"
Yan Mi was very proud. "I watched my father and brother practice martial arts, and then I secretly learned it myself, and then I became successful."
"Impossible, how can you understand it just by looking at it? Are you looking for a master outside?" In Yan's father's opinion, practicing martial arts is not a trivial matter. If there is no master to guide you, you are likely to make mistakes and may even break bones.
He stood up worriedly and waved to Yan Mi, "Come here and let me take a look."
Yan Mi obediently walked to his side and let Yan's father carefully examine him. Yan's father really didn't find any hidden dangers in Yan Mi's body. He muttered, "Strange."
"I really practiced it on my own, and I'm completely fine. Maybe it's because I have a talent for martial arts." Yan Mi said.
When Yan Cheng heard her tone, he knew that she was proud again. Maybe she had concealed it for so long just to show off to them today.
He almost saw the words "I am a genius" on Yan Mi's face.
"Since my sister is fine and still so powerful, we shouldn't worry. But I'm very curious about her current martial arts skills." He looked at Yan Mi, eager to try, "How about fighting with me after my sister recovers?"
Both Yan's father and mother disagreed with this proposal, but Yan Mi immediately agreed, "Okay, I also want to know if my brother is better than me."
Mother Yan slapped Yan Mi on the head. "How could you agree to this? He's your brother. You can't beat him. What if you get hurt?"
"If I get hurt, then let father beat my brother with a stick." Yan Mi smiled and let the matter go.
When it was getting late, Yan Mi and Han Chengdao saw the Yan family off together. They had already agreed to come to the palace to see her again tomorrow.
When returning with Han Chengdao, Yan Mi asked Han Chengdao, "Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with those spies? I heard that one of them is an imperial merchant. Will it have any impact on you?"
"There is an impact, but it's not big. There are many grain merchants in Chengguo, and those who have business dealings with the palace are the targets of wealthy businessmen. If he is gone, they can naturally find others." Han Chengdao said that he had thought of a countermeasure since he started planning to capture these people.
At present, some court affairs have been assigned to other ministers. This time the turmoil in the court also sounded a wake-up call to some people with ulterior motives.
"That's good. I have asked people to go out and find some reliable people before. Those people can also be used by the emperor." She asked Sheng Lai to look for people at that time. After so long, she did pick out one or two reliable people. However, it takes a long time and cost to train a person, and those people are just starting out.
"Mi'er, when did you start planning these things?" Han Chengdao was deeply moved. He was dealing with court affairs, and behind him, Yan Mi was supporting him.
He was very fortunate to have met Yan Mi when he was a child.
"When the emperor confined me, I knew that with his wisdom he would clear my name, so I didn't really blame him in my heart. I also wanted to do something for the emperor, and these are the small things I can do." Yan Mi said sincerely, and there was no hint of blaming Han Chengdao in his words.
Han Chengdao felt even more sad. These things were not big or small either, because he had confined Yan Mi to his house and temporarily suspended the Yan family from their duties. Many people were saying some sarcastic words about him. As the king of a country, his every move was watched by many people, and it also brought a lot of trouble to Yan Mi.
But she had done so much for him, and the guilt in his heart became more and more serious. "Why aren't you angry? I wronged you, and it's reasonable for me to be angry. I feel that all those rewards are not enough to compensate you."
Yan Mi was suddenly hugged by Han Chengdao. She patted Han Chengdao's back gently and said, "If Your Majesty feels that this is not enough, then please agree to one of my requests first."
Han Chengdao agreed, "Okay, no matter what you say, I will agree to it."
The next day, Yan Mi asked someone to contact Sheng Lai.
At this time, Sheng Lai was lying comfortably by the fireplace. When she received Yan Mi's letter, she sat up from the bed.
After waiting for so long, she finally received a message from Yan Mi.
Yan Mi told her in the letter to bring the two people into the palace in a few days, as Han Chengdao wanted to meet them.
This letter was quite long. At the end of the letter, Yan Mi also talked about her current situation.
Sheng Lai was very excited. It turned out that it was the right choice for her to join Yan Mi. Now Yan Mi was in great favor. Her status in Cheng Kingdom must be good, and she might even become rich and powerful because of it.
She immediately went out and went to the largest building in the market.
The building was magnificently constructed, with carved beams and painted rafters on the outside, and the interior decoration was even more luxurious.
And this is the result of just over a month.
The waiter saw Sheng coming and immediately stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Sheng, are you here to see the two masters again?"
Sheng Lai nodded, "I know where they are. You continue to work, I will go find them myself."
She found the two men still busy in the shop and said, "Get ready now. You will be going to the palace to have an audience with the Emperor in a few days. If you catch the Emperor's eye this time, you will be imperial merchants in the future. Glory and wealth will be yours, so you must be at your best."
They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Is this true?
"Miss Sheng, you didn't lie to us, did you?" When they accepted Sheng's help before, they thought that the other party was just joking, so their goal has always been to become bigger and stronger. Now that he suddenly said that they wanted to go to the palace to meet the emperor, they were unsure.
"Of course I wouldn't lie to you." Sheng Lai exhaled a breath of foul air. Her spring was about to come. "I told you at that time, who told you not to believe it?"
The two of them apologized, saying, "We were too narrow-minded."
"Then you should prepare well. I am rooting for you." Sheng Lai didn't understand these things and couldn't help them. Her expertise was only in gathering information and killing people. It was also because of her expertise that she had contributed a lot to their development to this point.
On the day of entering the palace, Sheng Lai did not enter the palace. She just sent the person there and went back.
The palace is magnificent, and they also have the opportunity to enter the Forbidden City, which is inaccessible to ordinary people.
The two of them didn't dare to look around for fear of being caught.
Following the eunuch who led the way to the side hall, they finally saw the almighty and extremely mysterious emperor.
One of them took a quick look and was frightened by its aura and dared not look again.
"This humble citizen pays homage to His Majesty. Long live the Emperor."
"Stand up." Han Chengdao's sharp eyes swept over the two kneeling people.
These two people seem to have good temperaments, without the money-minded airs of the average wealthy businessmen.
After their introduction, it turned out that one of the people who went there was surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Li. Originally, their families were also merchants, but because they had been suppressed before, their family was on the verge of bankruptcy. After Sheng Lai found them, he brought the two together and founded the Ancan Grain Store outside.
"I believe you also know the purpose of coming to the palace this time. If you can satisfy me, I will do this business with you." Han Chengdao looked at them and did not see any greed in their eyes.
He turned his head to look at Yan Mi who was sitting next to him and whispered to her, "The person you found this time seems pretty good."
Yan Mi covered his mouth and smiled, "As long as the emperor likes it."
Liu and Li were fully prepared for this occasion. Since the emperor summoned them personally, they would certainly not let him down.
Their ideas coincide with Han Chengdao's, and they also have courage and fighting spirit, which is exactly the kind of people Han Chengdao is optimistic about.
Two hours later, the two left with confident smiles on their faces.
They lived up to Miss Sheng's expectations and succeeded.
Inside the hall, Han Chengdao knew very well that these people could not be from the State of Zhao. As they said, they would do their best in the coming period of time.
"Thank you for your hard work this time." Han Chengdao sighed and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have had to choose for a long time."
Yan Mi blinked, and immediately had a bad idea, "If Your Majesty wants to thank me, why not kiss me?"
Han Chengdao smiled brightly, "I will agree to this little request. I will have someone send you something tomorrow."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." She turned her head and pointed to her face.
Han Chengdao was very helpless, but instead of kissing her on the face, he kissed her directly on the lips.
"Do you like this, my beloved?" Han Chengdao tightly wrapped his arms around Yan Mi's waist and whispered in her ear.
"I like it." Yan Mi raised her head and took the initiative to exchange a kiss with Han Chengdao again.
After returning, Liu Li told Sheng about the happy event, and Sheng was not surprised at all.
They were both puzzled. "Ms. Sheng, why aren't you excited? This is business with the royal family."
Sheng Lai threw away the melon seeds in his hand and said, "I'm not excited because I knew it would be like this. Do you think you alone can be appreciated by the emperor? That's because you have the imperial concubine behind you."
They were both stunned. What Imperial Concubine? They didn't know any Imperial Concubine.
Sheng Lai liked to see them dumbfounded. "I belong to the Imperial Concubine. The person you should be most grateful to is the Imperial Concubine."
Liu and Li were completely dumbfounded.
