The Choice Queen's

TCQ 41: How to Make Money

When it was late at night, Nangong Zirui and Li Fengran had just returned to the residence of Great Lord Jinchuan. Su Ren and the head of his residence steward seemed to be waiting for him at the gate with anxious expectation. As soon as they saw Nangong Zirui's figure, their expressions turned calm and they rushed up to him.

“Your Highness, why has His Majesty just returned? I was worried and was just about to send someone to look for His Majesty.”

Su Ren's words were answered delicately by Li Fengran. This Su Ren must be just bragging and licking. If he really intended to find Nangong Zirui, it should have been since the afternoon that he sent his men. This was just a formality for Su Ren to look very worried about the King.

In any case, if the King is lost in his territory, he alone will bear the consequences and this is not the right time to start a mess.

Nangong Zirui did not respond seriously, he just stared for a while then said, “I am reminded that Jinchuan is the ancestral land of the Ling.” family

Su Ren was a little surprised. As far back as two generations earlier, Jinchuan's power was in the hands of the Ling family. It was just that the succession suddenly changed after the Ling family experienced an event and decided to move to the capital, establishing a new reputation as a great noble family.

It was a bit of history that became a thorn in Su Ren's flesh. Zichuan, Mochuan, and Danchuan had always been ruled by the same family since the first generation of the dynasty, in contrast to Jinchuan who had undergone a transition to the Su family. Given the King brought it up, Su Ren's heart was a bit uncomfortable but he couldn't express it.

“Your Majesty still has great respect for the Ling family, it is a great honor. Your Majesty must be tired, come, I will deliver Your Majesty to the resting place.”

Well, Su Ren chose to end the conversation sooner rather than waiting for the topic to spread to the others. Nangong Zirui did not mind either, he followed Su Ren while looking around. The residence of the Jinchuan Ruler is grand and spacious, in stark contrast to the houses of residents in the suburbs away from the crowds.

At first, everything looks normal. However after arriving at a courtyard, Li Fengran started to feel strange. This residence is no different from other residences, only there are some signs that indicate something.

Li Fengran read the writing on the board that read “Plum” Park and analyzed it for a while before saying, “Big Master Su, you brought His Majesty to the women's residence?”

Su Ren slightly flinched. With a sly smile she replied, “My Sword, this is the residence of my daughter, Su Min who is now His Majesty's concubine. I think it is better Your Majesty stay here.”

Fucking old fox! He wanted to use the King to support his daughter's reputation!

“Big Master Su, I understand you love your daughter very much. However, His Majesty came with the identity of the King, not as your son-in-law.”

Li Fengran would not let Su Ren utilize Nangong Zirui's presence as a stepping stone for Consort Su in the harem! If you want to rise to the highest peak, you have to rely on yourself. Su Ren became awkward, he forgot to consider the existence of the Sword Stakeholder so meticulously and his thoughts were this unpredictable.

“It.... Your Highness, what do Your Majesty think?”

“My Sword is right. It's not fair for me to stay at a woman's residence. Give me a quiet residence.”

Su Ren finally relented and took them to another residence. This time, the place was quite spacious and very quiet. The main building is grand but not very striking. The courtyard is spacious and decorated with lanterns and perfectly cared for plants.

Nangong Zirui nodded in satisfaction, then told Su Ren to return. He and Li Fengran were sitting on a garden chair made of chiseled stone, a servant of the residence then came carrying a tray filled with tea and snacks. After that, he left them.

“Xiao Feng, why did you bend your face in front of me?” asked Nangong Zirui who saw Li Fengran's expression never improving after arriving here.

“The sly old fox wants to raise his daughter's reputation. As King, Your Majesty, you are so insensitive!”

“Really?”

“You know you're almost a stepping stone? It is better if Consort Su is also here!”

Nangong Zirui chuckled. His effulgence turned into an evil grin. He stood up, walked to Li Fengran's side and bowed his body. Li Fengran reflexively dodged, his body slightly backward. Nangong Zirui was too close to him, he had trouble breathing!

“Why? You're not willing?” asked Nangong Zirui.

“Don't want what? I just don't want His Majesty taken advantage of.”

“It.... it is not the same.”

“Then tell me where the difference lies.”

Nangong Zirui leaned more and more and his face was already very close to Li Fengran's face.

“I just don't want your ministers to comment that I can't protect Your Majesty as a Sword-bearer. So, when someone wants to use you for his own benefit, I will prevent it.”

 “Then, I must thank the Sword Starter who has protected me with all efforts.”

After that, Nangong Zirui restored his body position and stood firm. It felt so pleasant to tease Li Fengran like earlier.

She liked to see Li Fengran nervous and frightened when approached, she liked when the woman was upset because others wanted to take advantage of her. Nangong Zirui slightly smelled a sour smell, but did not dare to be sure.

Li Fengran breathed a sigh of relief. Jesus, the more days Nangong Zirui makes fun of him! If this continues, Li Fengran's heart will be stricken with illness for a long time and his heart becomes restless. No, no, this is not true. Better think of the others!

“Your Majesty, you said that Jinchuan is very rich and tax-abiding, but they are immoral in social and unempathetic?” asked Li Fengran.

Nangong Zirui knew the woman was shifting topics and situations. He followed her, wanting to know what Li Fengran wanted to do. “Ya.”

“Even if the King himself asks them to donate funds and give help?”

“They will quibble and donate with a small amount,” said Nangong Zirui.

The businessmen and the rich in Jinchuan are stingy. They only pay taxes, but that doesn't mean they have a good heart.

Against the difficulties and distress of other residents, they are always reluctant to help and close their eyes. No matter how ruined his reputation was, they would still clutch tightly onto the treasures in their hands.

Nangong Zirui was already very furious and several times asked them to come help. But, the end result was only a detrimental deal. For a long time, Nangong Zirui was fed up and gradually ignored the stingy rich.

Was Li Fengran trying to find a new way to deal with them?

“They prefer to spend money in a brothel rather than donating a helping fund.”

Li Fengran clucked and clenched his hands. Those runny noses are really making a growl and a headache! When other people have trouble living because they cannot eat due to disasters, they have fun and easily spend money. Really fuckers!

“Brothe house? Your Majesty, it seems like I found a way to get their money for free.”

Nangong Zirui looked suspiciously.

“Xiao Feng, what do you want to do?”

“Your Majesty will know. Tomorrow if Your Majesty meets with Mo Wei, please tell him to come to me. He must apologize and make amends for his mistake.”

“What mistakes has he made you?”

“Making His Majesty leave the palace.”

Nangong Zirui immediately glared. This woman is really a calculation.
