Chapter 504 The Emperor’s Plan

Lu Xinyue was so fond of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Yang Shu looked at her with even more eager eyes.

But Concubine Yang Shu had already spoken just now and was warned once by the Queen Mother. At this time, she absolutely did not dare to bring up this topic again.

She didn't dare to do anything openly, but that didn't mean she couldn't do it secretly.

She just had to be more careful and win over Lu Xinyue quietly without letting the Queen Mother know?
Yang Shufei's thoughts turned around in her heart, and she soon had a plan.

She must win over Lu Xinyue for Ye Yunting!

In this way, it can also add one more bargaining chip for Ye Yunting.

The Queen Mother held Lu Xinyue and talked for a long time before she was sent to the King of Lingnan.

Concubine Yang Shu had already arranged for people to deliver many things to Lu Xinyue before she left the palace.

The maid beside Lu Xinyue waited for Yang Shufei's people to leave before speaking quietly.

"Princess Princess, this Concubine Shu is so generous! She has given away so many good things, and I think she values ​​you very much!"

"It's not that you want to curry favor with me, but I don't like her son!"

Even in the eyes of others, the King of War was as popular as ever.

But in Lu Xinyue's view, Ye Yunting couldn't even handle a commoner princess, and the backyard was in a mess, so he was not worthy of her at all.

And even if Ye Jiuxiao treats Chu Nanli better now, Lu Xinyue will only be more interested in challenging him.

After all, once she captures that man, his tenderness and specialness will be hers alone.

"These things are not expensive, so she has the nerve to give them away?"

When Lu Xinyue asked people to inquire about the news, they often heard about how Chu Nanli was taught by Concubine Yang Shu when she was still in the palace.

"Forget it, just pick the expensive ones and keep them, and throw away the rest!"

She waved her hands nonchalantly. Although she accepted these things, she had no intention of getting close to Concubine Yang Shu.

Her goal is Ye Jiuxiao. If she wants to please, she naturally also wants to please the Queen Mother.

After the Lingnan Prince and his daughter left the palace, the emperor came to the Queen Mother's Palace again.

It just so happened that the Queen Mother also wanted him to come over.

"Have you, Queen Mother, met the girl from the Wang family in Lingnan? I heard that she seems to be very popular with you, Queen Mother!"

"The Ai family really likes such a lively child. If she can come to the palace from time to time to talk to the Ai family, the Ai family will not be so boring on weekdays."

The Queen Mother's joy was evident on her face, and she seemed to really like Lu Xinyue, and not just because of the power she represented behind her.

"So the Ai family was thinking about whether they could find a husband for her in the capital, so that she could stay in the capital."

The purpose of keeping Lu Xinyue in the capital was actually to control the King of Lingnan.

However, this should not be done too obviously, let alone cause suspicion from the outside world.

"My mother's arrangement is very good, but isn't the right candidate right in front of me? Why bother to look for it again?"

"The emperor's brother is not yet married, so it would be better for the queen to issue a decree to marry him directly."

The emperor originally had no such idea.

He was worried that finding a good marriage for Ye Jiuxiao would further increase Ye Jiuxiao's power and make him have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

But just now the Lingnan king had expressed his loyalty to him, and even offered to increase the tax by 10%, which had already convinced the emperor of his loyalty.

Now that Lu Xinyue is given marriage to Ye Jiuxiao, it just so happens that it can also play a surveillance role. "But your brother..."

The emperor's proposal really moved the Queen Mother.

She knew very well that Ye Jiuxiao had no idea about the throne, and even if he married the daughter of King Lingnan, it would not be of much help.

It will not pose a threat to the emperor.

However, Ye Jiuxiao might not have agreed to it before, and now he is even more opposed to the marriage.

"Mother, my biological brother has a distinguished status. How can he be worthy of such a commoner woman?"

The emperor was now bent on promoting this marriage, and naturally became even more impatient with Chu Nanli, who had always looked down upon him.

"If the mother is worried, then after the marriage is granted, I will give her to the emperor's brother as a concubine. Isn't that okay?"

It must be said that what the emperor said at this time was exactly what the queen mother was thinking.

But the Queen Mother knew very well that Ye Jiuxiao would never agree to this.

"No, it's not like you don't know your brother's temperament. Besides, the Ai family just promised Xinyue Girl to find her a husband who will be happy with her."

"The two of them have never met each other. If the Ai family rashly grants a marriage, what will happen if they become a resentful couple?"

The Queen Mother felt guilty about Ye Jiuxiao, so even though he had made her unhappy because of Chu Nanli's affairs before, she only angered Chu Nanli and did not blame Ye Jiuxiao.

Now, it was even more impossible to marry Ye Jiuxiao directly against her wishes.

However, she still didn't want to agree with Ye Jiuxiao and Chu Nanli.

"Then I will talk to the emperor's brother another day. The queen mother will also think of ways to arrange for the two of them to meet. Maybe they will fall in love with each other."

The emperor didn't care what Lu Xinyue thought. In his opinion, King Lingnan would definitely agree to the marriage based on his "loyalty" to him.

As for Lingnan King and Ye Jiuxiao joining forces, this is even more impossible.

Unless the King of Lingnan is crazy, he will give up the king of a country and choose Ye Jiuxiao as the regent.

"Forget it, just do what you said. If this doesn't happen, don't mention it again."

The Queen Mother looked unmoved on the surface, but in fact, she had already been thinking about how to arrange the meeting so that it would not be abrupt.

……

Chu Nanli not only showed those two sets of samples to Lu Xinyue, but also gave them to many dignitaries through Zhuang Lin's relationship.

After whetting their appetites, Chu Nanli slowly announced that these two series would only sell a hundred copies in total.

She understands the value of rare things, and even though she has enough raw materials on hand to make more, she still doesn't take out too much at once.

In addition, Chu Nanli also ordered people to compile many stories about talented people and beautiful ladies.

She had already sent these storybooks to various bookstores in advance.

"You said these things, are they really useful?"

Lin Xuan'er was flipping through one of the storybooks. She was originally not interested in such sentimental stories, but she had to admit that the plot inside was indeed fascinating.

Chu Nanli patted her hand, "I asked Zhuang Lin. The sales volume of the storybook is very good, and there are servants waiting outside the bookstore to buy it."

"I'm not talking about these story books. What I'm saying is, if you sell these story books, will anyone really buy jewelry because of a story book?"

In all her life, Lin Xuan'er has never seen anyone selling things like this.

This storybook and the jewelry they made are simply things that cannot be beaten with even a stick!
