The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

"What's more, the transaction is at a clear price. You spent money to buy the painting, dedicated it to the pen, and gained a good reputation, and the humble job made a profit. This is what you want. How can it be considered a fraud?"

Qin Yanghou smiled coldly: "When I was young, I was as eloquent as you. But why are there only a few officials? Li Mingji, you don't think that you will be able to rise to the top if you please yourself?"

He only needs to say hello to Dali Temple, and it is easy to punish Li Mingji for his crime.Qin Yanghou just didn't want to make a big fuss, especially if it came to Emperor Yong's ears.

The palace door was opened, and the servant who had sent the message earlier said: "Master Hou, the queen mother let you in."

He looked at Li Mingji, and added: "Li Yuhou, the princess asked you to go in too."

The little princess was worried again that he would be bullied by Qin Yanghou.

After thinking for a while, Li Mingji figured out what was going on, raised his lips and said with a light smile, "Okay."

The servant gave him a strange look.

The Empress Dowager, Princess, and Lord Hou are all dignitary figures, how could he still laugh when they were summoned by these three people?
Shu Yao felt that Qin Yanghou's appearance must be a good thing, and as soon as she saw Li Mingji, she asked him to come to her, and the empress dowager next to her blinked her eyes inexplicably.

Qin Yanghou thought that sure enough, Li Mingji acted so arrogantly probably because he had Shu Yao's backing, he lifted up his robe and knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the minister!"

Emperor Yong recognized the Empress Dowager as his mother, and the late Princess Yongning was also recorded in the Empress Dowager's name.In this way, Qin Yanghou became the half-son-in-law of the Empress Dowager, which can be regarded as a kinship relationship.

The queen mother was a little curious: "How did Aijia become your master?"

During this period of time, she devoted herself to recuperating in the Longevity Palace and stayed behind closed doors. She didn't even go to Emperor Yong's birthday banquet.Shu Yao had an extra bodyguard beside her, which was enough to surprise her, why did Qin Yanghou come to her again to complain?

Shu Yao picked up the snow ball lying at her feet into her arms, caressingly stroked its soft and fluffy hair, "Father must think clearly, don't fail to say it, and make a joke in front of grandma."

Qin Yanghou couldn't tell that she was acting strangely, he gritted his teeth, and pointed at Li Mingji: "My dear, listen to my father's advice, this son has vicious thoughts and ulterior motives, so he shouldn't stay for a long time!"

He really came to trouble Li Mingji.

Shu Yao snorted coldly, "This princess should tell my father this!"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that the father and daughter were about to quarrel again, the queen mother also had a headache, rubbed her temples and sighed, "Qin Yanghou, if there is anything, just make it clear quickly. How can you talk to me when you are old?" Making noise like a brat?"

Both in and out of the words were partial to Shu Yao, Qin Yanghou felt more and more ridiculous, and took out an account book from his sleeve: "Madam, you should remember that Yongning once left several shops for Yaoyao, one of which was called Moyu Xuan, specializing in the sale of the Four Treasures of the Study."

"A few days ago, in order to help me share my worries, my concubine ordered Mo Yuxuan to collect gifts for His Majesty. Li Mingji tricked Mo Yuxuan's shopkeeper into buying him at a high price of 1 taels of silver. "Cold Mountain Picture"!"

He opened the account book, his voice trembling with emotion, "The paintings of ordinary famous artists are only a thousand taels. My shopkeeper doesn't understand the market, how can Li Mingji not know the value of his paintings? It’s not enough to make ends meet, and there’s such a large amount of expenses that you can’t even pay for the purchase of materials, isn’t that considered vicious?”

Shu Yao was originally wondering why Li Mingji's painting fell into the hands of Qin Yanghou, but this time she understood, and couldn't help laughing, "If you don't have this ability, why do you want to slap your face to pretend to be fat? Father, you won't Do you want to get the money back?"

Li Mingji's painting was actually sold to Qin Yanghou for 1 taels?This is really surprising.As expected of her personal bodyguard, she is so promising.Qin Yanghou couldn't afford the money himself, so he came to sell miserably in front of the queen mother, he was really ashamed.

"Of course not," Qin Yanghou said in a deep voice, "Yaoyao, you are young and ignorant, and you don't know that Li Mingji's move is a fraud. Return the money you don't deserve, so you don't care about him."

Shu Yao scratched Xue Tuan's chin, and said in a soft and lazy voice, "Father is in the Imperial Academy, does he know how popular Qingyan is in the capital? There are not a few people who are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on his paintings. According to the princess, it is still He thinks about friendship, so the sales are low. Father can't afford money and wants to paint, isn't this a daydream?"

"……you!"

Qin Yanghou was so out of breath by Shu Yao, his face flushed red, how could a daughter talk to her father like that?I thought she would restrain herself after entering the palace, but she became more and more lawless!

As for Li Mingji, who was at the center of the topic, he was not even half guilty, standing behind Shu Yao casually, with a slight smile in his eyes.In the previous life, he fought his way out of the mountains of swords and seas of fire, and took care of everything by himself, only now did he realize that the feeling of being protected is so enjoyable.

Seeing the ledger that Qin Yanghou was holding, Li Mingji bent his finger and flicked it lightly.

"Queen Mother, please take a look at this ledger first!" Qin Yanghou knew that Shu Yao was determined to protect Li Mingji to the end, so he turned his eyes to the Queen Mother for help, "These shops are left to Yaoyao by Yongning. Yaoyao Spending too much, Mo Yuxuan wants to maintain the business, but also let her ask for it, how can he make a living in Beijing?"

The female officer took the account book from Qin Yanghou and handed it to the Queen Mother.The snowball in Shu Yao's arms moved his nose, stood up suddenly, and gently sniffed Shu Yao's fingers.

"Be good, don't make trouble," Shu Yao whispered, "I'll play with you later."

Xuetuan let out a small "meow", a little restless.

The account book is exactly the one that Shu Yao turned over a few days ago.The black handwriting clearly recorded Mo Yuxuan's income and expenditure for the past year. For several months, it was written as "loss", and the income was not handed over to Huaxi Palace.

The queen mother flipped through the ledger, neither sad nor happy.

She naturally had an impression of these shops.Some of them were the dowry given to Princess Yongning by Emperor Yong when she got married.Later, Princess Yongning passed away, and the shop was left to Shu Yao, and the Queen Mother added two more shops, making a total of five shops, and Mo Yuxuan was one of them.

The little lady didn't know how to run the shop, so the shop was handed over to Qin Yanghou's mansion, and the queen mother didn't visit it for many years.Mo Yuxuan can also be regarded as a time-honored brand in the capital, why is it so embarrassing?

"Snowball!"

Shu Yao exclaimed, but saw the snow ball picked up from her arms, leaping over her, grabbing the ledger from the Empress Dowager's hand, and jumping straight onto the table!
With a bang, the teapot on the table was knocked over, and the ledger fell to the ground.Shu Yao got up quickly and picked up the wet Persian cat, only to find that new handwriting appeared on the paper soaked in tea!
