Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 241 Affectionate and ruthless
Sikong Shengjie smiled softly: "I always do things according to my own will. If you insist on me giving an answer, then I can only give you three words... I am willing!"

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, brushed her body, and walked in front of her.

A head of white hair hanging down his waist, swaying gently with his footsteps, it is suspected that the Milky Way is falling into the sky, so dazzling that one can only look up.

What a monster!

Feng Qian shook her head in admiration, and suddenly called out to him: "Hey, do you know where I'm going?"

Without turning his head, he said, "There is only one road in this forest!"

When Xuanyuan Che returned to the city gate, an official came to report immediately: "My lord, I have something important to report."

No immediate response was received, the official looked up and looked at the king, his eyes were empty and blurred, as if he was in a daze, but he didn't hear his words, he couldn't help raising his voice, and reported again: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty There is something important to report."

This time, Xuanyuanche finally came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The official replied: "Your Majesty, for some reason, the refugees from Nanyan Kingdom all flocked to Lan's shop, where they were receiving free rice and silver. The officials felt that this was strange, so they came to report to the King. "(Remarks: In the previous chapters, Lin's shop was changed to Lan's shop)
Xuanyuan Che's brows loosened: "Is there such a thing?"

When Xuanyuanche came to Lan's store, refugees lined up in front of the store, waiting to receive relief food and money.

"The Lan family has always been relentless, when did they start doing good deeds?" Luo Ying felt incredible.

At this time, the official brought the shopkeeper to Xuanyuanche: "Your Majesty, he is the shopkeeper Chen of Lan's shop."

When shopkeeper Chen heard the word "Your Majesty", he immediately knelt down respectfully: "Chen Chong, a grass-roots man, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Get up and answer." Xuanyuan Che pointed at the refugees expressionlessly and said, "What's going on?"

Shopkeeper Chen stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, didn't Concubine Lan tell you? She entrusted a maid to bring a box of gold, a total of 1000 taels, and ordered the villain to exchange it for silver and distribute it to the refugees in Nanyan Kingdom. Said that if the money is not enough, you can go to the palace to find the empress, the empress is really a kind person."

"Concubine Lan?" Xuanyuan Che raised his eyebrows, "She gave you 1000 taels of gold?"

"It's absolutely true." Shopkeeper Chen took a box from his hand and offered it with both hands, "Your Majesty, look! This is the gold box sent by Empress Lan."

When Xuanyuanche saw the box, his eyes were shocked. Isn't this the box that he used to hold the gold when he rewarded the queen with 1000 taels of gold?
With a stride, he grabbed shopkeeper Chen by the collar, and said coldly, "Where is the maid who gave you the box?"

Shopkeeper Chen was taken aback, and tremblingly said: "She... She left after explaining the matter."

Xuanyuanche then asked again: "Did she say anything else?"

"No, nothing else." Shopkeeper Chen said.

Xuanyuan Che let go of his collar, reached out to take the box in shopkeeper Chen's hand, and couldn't help but wryly smiled: "I said you were ruthless, but you didn't say a word, and just left without a sound. Before you left, you didn't hesitate to spend all your money to help Gu solve a big problem. Qianqian, what should Gu do with you?"

Luo Ying looked at Wang Shang's dejected look, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Yilan Palace.

Princess Lan Xin slowly unfolded the custom-made phoenix robe, and her eyes lit up, shining brightly.

I saw that the phoenix robe was surprisingly red, and the gold was dazzling. The phoenix outlined with golden silk thread was lifelike, and the skirt was long enough to drag the floor, extremely gorgeous.

"It's so beautiful!" She couldn't help admiring, and couldn't put it down.

Nanny Zhou smiled and said: "Princess, this is a phoenix robe made by the most skillful embroiderer in Nanyan Kingdom. This old slave knows that you will need it one day, and now you finally have a chance to wear it. Please wear it quickly." Go up and try."

Princess Lan Xin pretended to evade: "This is not good, after all, I am not the queen yet."

"Sooner or later!" Nanny Zhou picked up the phoenix robe and served Princess Lan Xin, "Just try it on."

Princess Lan Xin couldn't hide the joy on her face, and she no longer held back. She stretched out an arm and was about to try it on. At this moment, someone outside the door reported: "Lady Lan, there is a Lan family outside the palace gate." The shopkeeper of the store, I have something to see."

Princess Lan Xin frowned displeasedly, took her hand back, and thought: "Lan's store? Is it the Lan's family, one of the four rich merchants in Northern Yan Kingdom? I don't remember any contact with them..."

Nanny Zhou was also puzzled: "Businessmen value profits, so they won't come to see you for no reason. According to this old slave, it's better to ignore it!"

Princess Lan Xin shook her head: "The Lan family can be regarded as a respectable figure in Beiyan Kingdom. If it's not an important matter, they wouldn't rush to visit this palace. You might as well listen to what the other party has to say..."

Not long after, shopkeeper Chen came to Yilan Palace under the guidance of the maid.

"Villain Chen Chong, I pay my respects to Concubine Lan."

Princess Lan Xin sat on the top seat, looked at him carefully, and asked curiously: "I have never had any contact with your Lan family, why did you come to see me?"

Shopkeeper Chen was taken aback for a moment: "Ma'am, did you forget about helping the refugees?"

"Relief for refugees?" Princess Lan Xin was at a loss, "Relief for refugees is the court's business, so what's the matter with this palace?"

Shopkeeper Chen was completely dumbfounded: "Ma'am, aren't you joking with the villain? You sent a court lady to Lan's store this morning, and you also sent a box of gold, saying it was used to help the refugees in Nanyan Kingdom , have you forgotten?"

Princess Lan Xin was also dumbfounded: "Are you joking with me? How could I send someone to your Lan's store? And a box of gold? It's nonsense!"

Shopkeeper Chen was completely confused: "Didn't you send that court lady? Then why did she say she was following your orders from Empress Lan Fei?"

"Lady of the palace?" Princess Lan Xin frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, when suddenly someone announced from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Lord Luoying is here, and he brought the King's command."

Upon hearing this, Princess Lan Xin quickly said, "Xuan!"

This was the first time since she entered the palace that the king noticed her and gave her a word of mouth.

A little joy in my heart!
Sure enough, as soon as the queen left, the situation in the palace was completely different, and even the king's attitude towards her changed immediately.

Her heart was full of anticipation.

Not long after, Luo Ying walked in and bowed respectfully to her.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shang said: Your Majesty is joining forces with the Lan's shop this time to help refugees, donate money and effort, relieve the king's worries, and make great contributions. The king is very happy. I will give a verbal commendation to the empress, and look forward to the concubines in the harem." Everyone can use the empress as a model, and mostly serve the country and the people!"

After finishing speaking, seeing Princess Lan Xin standing there in a daze, completely unresponsive, he couldn't help reminding: "Your Majesty, can you hear me clearly? Do you need your subordinate to convey it again?"

Princess Lan Xin came back to her senses and spoke incoherently: "Ah, no, no need! The king has won the award, and the concubine just did what she could."
