Concubine in power, prince, please respect yourself

Chapter 17
"Ma'am, aren't you afraid of being hated by her if you tell the second lady so clearly today? The second lady is the easiest to cause trouble."

Just now seeing Qin Ziling talking to the second lady so directly, Lu He was a little worried that the second lady would give birth to some kind of moth.

"Lu He, didn't this lady tell you to believe me? Besides, with this kind of person, do you still plan to join forces with her?"

Turning a blind eye to Lu He, Qin Ziling comforted Lu He and said.

"But, ma'am..." Lu He still wanted to say something, but Qin Ziling had already pushed her away. She also knew that this girl was a loyal protector, but it was a bit wordy.

"Hurry up and help me with the petals. My wife is going to do something later." Qin Ziling shook her head, turned back to focus on her work, and ignored Lu He.

On the second day, when Qin Ziling was very busy, suddenly, the door was pushed open again, and when he looked up, Qin Ziling immediately had the urge to curse.

"The third lady is still busy. I really don't know what I've been busy with all day. Is she doing something illegal?"

Yuan Xianxian stood at the door, looked at Qin Ziling proudly and said.

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. What I, Qin Ziling, is never afraid of being investigated by others. If you think I am doing something illegal, you can go to the prince instead of me."

Looking at Yuan Xianxian, Qin Ziling was really speechless. Is this woman so idle all day long?She's free, so don't come looking for things for her all day, she's still busy all day long.

It seems that if she has the opportunity in the future, she must enrich the daily life of these noble ladies. In that way, they will not be so boring, and the world will become better because of their busyness.

Qin Ziling on this side was still thinking wildly, while Yuan Xianxian's face on the other side began to change colorfully.

"Hmph, but some people did it, but God didn't see it, so those of us who care about the palace have to stand up and say something fair."

Yuan Xianxian still had a great look, but Qin Ziling really couldn't stand it anymore.

"I don't know what the second lady is doing in Xiangling Bureau today."

Unable to bear it anymore, Qin Ziling wanted to throw this woman out with her own hands.

"I'm here today, of course I have something to do. Early this morning, I got a report from my servants, saying that there were some lilies that the prince likes most in the garden of the palace. I got used to it, but when I waited for my servants to look at it again today, I found that the petals of a few lilies were quite missing.

When I asked the servants who appeared in the garden frequently recently, they said that it was the third lady who was always looking for something in the garden recently.Third Madam, do you know how much the prince likes lilies, and how much painstaking effort it took to keep those lilies alive. How could you spoil those lilies just for your own fun? "

Looking at Qin Ziling, Yuan Xianxian said sadly as if someone had robbed her of several 10 taels of silver.

After what Yuan Xianxian said, Qin Ziling immediately remembered that she had indeed picked a lot of lilies in the garden.

However, lily is a very common flower in modern times, and it was planted there so casually, how did she know that it was precious.

"I……"

Just when Qin Ziling didn't know how to explain, a deep voice came from outside the door.

"That flower is for this king. It's just a flower, and it's not something expensive. The third lady can pick it if she wants, without any scruples."

Xuanyuan Yi said as he walked towards Qin Ziling.Completely ignore the existence of the second lady.

"See Your Majesty."

As soon as they saw Xuanyuan Yi coming in, the people in the yard hurriedly greeted him.

"Well, get up."

Yuan Xian stood up, twisting the handkerchief awkwardly.She didn't expect that this thing would always be on the prince, and Qin Ziling still let Qin Ziling handle it. From this, it can be seen that the meaning of Qin Ziling in the prince's heart is really completely different.

I don't know how much the prince heard just now.

"It turned out to be for the prince. I didn't know about it at first, but I was a little anxious when I saw the lily that the prince's favorite was made like that."

Yuan Xianxian said with a little grievance and a little pitiful look.

"Well, if there is nothing else, go back to your yard. If there is something, the king and princess will take care of it."

Playing with Qin Ziling's props, Xuanyuan Yi said without raising his head.

Originally, she was going to do something to arouse Xuanyuan Yi's concern, but when she saw Xuanyuan Yi's attitude, Yuan Xianxian swallowed what she was about to say.

"The concubine resigned first."

After touching his nose, Yuan Xianxian lowered his head, turned around and walked back.

"My lord remembers that you said that the things I sent to my lord that day were not yet complete. Now...how is it?"

He would suddenly appear in Lingxiangju today, and he couldn't wait to come over to see how the thing was finished.

Qin Ziling is still in the strange feeling just now, the feeling of Xuanyuan Yi's domineering protection is a very subtle and delicate feeling, but it makes people love it and can't bear to give up.

Shaking his head, Qin Ziling ordered himself to wake up quickly.

Xuanyuan Yi, who was still waiting for Qin Ziling's answer, saw her violently shaking her head, and thought she was tired of his presence.

His face became indifferent in an instant.

"Woman, is it difficult for you to make something for me?"

Xuanyuan Yi suddenly approached Qin Ziling, squeezed Qin Ziling's chin forcefully, forcing her to look at him, and said domineeringly with some grievances.

Suddenly being pinched on the chin, Qin Ziling let out a low cry of fright, and only then returned to real life.

"My lord, I didn't mean that. I was thinking about other things just now."

Forced to raise her head, Qin Ziling's eyes were full of sincerity.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Yi felt it was funny, he remembered that he pinched her chin like this once before, when she was complaining about him.

Bringing Qin Ziling's chin, Xuanyuan Yi reached out to rub Qin Ziling's chin, but unexpectedly, Qin Ziling took a big step back.

"My lord, that thing hasn't been finished yet, and my concubine is also in a hurry to make it. When it's done, I will send it over for the lord right away."

With a flattering tone, Qin Ziling said quickly.

Embarrassed, he put back the hand that was stretched out in mid-air, ready to rub it for Qin Ziling.

"Cough cough."

Xuanyuan Yi tried to cover up the embarrassment, pretended to cough, retracted his hands, and covered his mouth to cough.

"Well, wait for you to finish it before sending it over to me. I'm leaving today."

Fearing that it would be even more embarrassing to stay like this, Xuanyuan Yi quickly lifted his feet and left Lingxiangju.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yi who had left, Lu He felt regret again, why didn't her wife leave the prince behind?
Seeing that everyone left Lingxiangju, Qin Ziling felt that no one would come to Lingxiangju for the time being, so she called Luhe to explain the good news, and Qin Ziling hurried out of the palace again.

She had to check the sales of the products placed in Juxiangju a few days ago.

As soon as he arrived at Juxiangju, Qin Ziling saw that there were more and more guests in Juxiangju.

"Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin, here."

Just entering Juxiangju, someone called Qin Ziling's name, looking for the voice, she saw the guy who entertained her for the second time.

Passing through the crowd, Qin Ziling took a lot of effort to get inside.

"Young Master Qin, you are finally here. The shopkeeper has been waiting for you for the past few days."

The man looked at Qin Ziling and said excitedly.

"Brother, do you know what the shopkeeper is looking for me for?"

Qin Ziling looked at today's guests and guessed a lot in his heart.

"It's because of the products brought by Mr. Qin last time. We divided the products into three-day quantities. After those people used them up, they were very satisfied with the effect, so there have been a lot of guests in Juxiangju these few days. Everyone They are all waiting for Mr. Qin's product."

The guy said excitedly, although they are very tired these days, they are also very happy. The more products are sold, their wages will be much higher.

Qin Ziling was also taken aback when she heard the guy's words. She could guess that her product would be more popular, but she didn't know it was so popular.This number is too many.

"Young master Qin, hurry up and follow me to the backyard. The shopkeeper has been looking forward to Young master Qin."

With a rough plan in mind, Qin Ziling walked towards the backyard.

"Young Master Qin, you're finally here. I'll wait for Young Master Qin."

Seeing Qin Ziling, the shopkeeper also said excitedly.

"Mr. Qin doesn't know how popular those products are. Let's go first to the house, first to the house."

The shopkeeper greeted Qin Ziling with a red face.

"Xiaoyu, go make a pot of good tea."

While greeting Qin Ziling, the shopkeeper shouted out.

"Mr. Qin, this is the benefit after dividing this batch of products. For 300 taels of silver in Zigong City, Mr. Qin can order a little."

"No need, I can't trust the shopkeeper no matter what."

After speaking, he collected the money on the table.

"I don't know if Mr. Qin has made new products. In the past few days, many customers have been waiting for Mr. Qin's products."

The shopkeeper took a flattery and said, the person in front of him, whether he begged him or not, is not the one he wants to offend.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Qin Ziling pondered for a while.

"Shopkeeper, I'm not going to put the product in your shop like this again."

Qin Ziling said lightly.But the shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat.In that case, he will definitely lose many customers.

"Mr. Qin doesn't intend to cooperate with us, right?" Although he doesn't want to lose such a big piece of fat, the shopkeeper is also a sensible person. He is better than him and has better opportunities in front of him. Right to choose what is better for him.

However, it is still a pity.

"That was not what I meant."

Seeing that although the shopkeeper was disappointed, she didn't make things difficult for her to quit, Qin Ziling's image of the shopkeeper got better in her heart.

"No? Then what does Mr. Qin mean?"

Upon hearing Qin Ziling's denial, the shopkeeper immediately became excited.

"I mean, I will also open my own store, but if the shopkeeper's store is willing to sell my products, it will become a branch of our store. Well, the meaning of a branch is to sell our products under the name of our store. Things, if the shopkeeper doesn't want to change the name, he can add a line of small characters next to Juxiangju."

Afraid that the shopkeeper would care about accumulating fame for so many years, Qin Ziling suggested just adding a line of small words to explain.

In fact, what Qin Ziling is doing now is equivalent to purchasing in modern life, but it is a free purchase.

See how popular your own product is today.In addition to the problems of raw materials and processing, Qin Ziling wanted to open a shop and a workshop by himself, then all the problems would be solved.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean is to let our store also sell your products, and then you have to open a store yourself? But in that case, is there any difference from opening one? Customers can just go to one store."

The shopkeeper still doesn't quite understand Qin Ziling's approach. Isn't it a waste of money to open two similar shops here?

"Because one store is in the east of the city, I want to open one in the north of the city, so that our products can be known to people in the entire Forbidden City, so that more and more people will come to buy our products. In the future we will have After the money, I want to open this store all over the country.”

Hearing Qin Ziling's words, the shopkeeper was also taken aback.He didn't expect that such a young person not only has the ability, but also has great ambitions.In him, he seemed to see his youthful appearance, but it was a pity that he failed to persevere back then, but gave up early.

"Okay, Mr. Qin, I, Mr. Liu, will listen to Mr. Qin from now on. If you need any help, Mr. Qin just call Mr. Liu."

No matter what the result is, he also wants to go forward bravely like Qin Ziling, and he also wants to regain the fighting spirit of his youth. Even if he fails, at least he will not regret it.

"Okay, shopkeeper, let's make a deal."

Because of the shopkeeper's trust and enthusiasm, Qin Ziling also became full of fighting spirit.

Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, Qin Ziling was thinking about how to find a remote Zhuangzi while walking, and who else to look for to help her take care of it. After all, she had very little time to leave the palace.

First of all, it is definitely impossible for the prince, she dare not even let him know, let alone ask him for help.

Besides the prince, it is impossible for her family to have only one younger brother.

In the end, Gu Yuan and Xuanyuan Chen were the ones she was most familiar with in ancient times.But it is also impossible, Xuanyuan Chen belongs to the royal family, so it is absolutely impossible to help her with such trivial matters.After getting in touch with Gu Yuan during this period, Qin Ziling knew that Gu Yuan was a rather bohemian person, so it was impossible to ask Gu Yuan for help.

Just as Qin Ziling was about to turn the corner and enter the palace, he heard voices speaking from the direction of the side door.Isn't that voice from her family Lu He?There seemed to be voices of dispute.With curiosity, Qin Ziling hid at the corner, listening to the situation over there with his ears open.

"Father, this is all the wages I have earned since I entered the palace. Use it to subsidize the family. Don't send your little sister into the palace. The palace is a place that eats people without spit out bones. I have at least one good master in the palace." , if the younger sister really enters the palace, I don’t know what will happen? It’s not like I am lucky enough to be a slave, and I can meet such a good master.”

Lu He spoke quickly, full of anxiety.

"Daddy won't send her into the palace anymore. You can keep the money for yourself. In such a big palace, there are many places to spend money. It's Daddy who is useless, and even started to sell her daughter. Daddy is sorry for you, Daddy will never I will send them to this kind of place, Dad will definitely grow more food next year. Lu He, you have to be good, Dad will definitely earn more money to redeem you too."

The man on the opposite side of Lu He was wearing a suit covered in pudding, looking at Lu He sadly.

Lu He also knew that if the harvest hadn't been so poor in the past few years, her father would not have sold her to the palace, nor would she have almost sold her into the palace.

Her father, although he didn't have much money, had always loved them very much. It was she who brought up the matter of entering the palace.

"Daddy, don't be so tired. I don't need any money in the palace, so you can keep it. My wife is very good to me, so don't worry. Go back and take care of your mother and little sister. I will save some money in a few years." If you have money, you can marry a good wife for my little brother."

Lu He stuffed the silver into the man's hand, comforting the depressed man.

"Go back quickly, Daddy, don't worry about me, I am very good in the palace, and my wife treats me very well, so don't worry, go back quickly, Daddy, I will go in first."

Saying that, Lu He took a look at the man who was still somewhat depressed, turned around and walked into the palace.

The man looked at the silver in his hand, sighed, and carefully put it into his arms.Glancing at the majestic palace, he left helplessly.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ziling felt that her difficulties could be solved.

Back at Lingxiang Residence, Qin Ziling saw Lu He secretly wiping tears while cleaning.

In fact, when I think about it, Luhe is just a little girl who is only sixteen or seventeen years old. No matter how the palace treats her, she is still just a little girl who can miss home.

"cough cough"

Qin Ziling coughed outside the door, then lifted his feet and walked into the house.

"Madam, you are back."

Hearing Madam's voice, Lu He hurriedly wiped away her tears and greeted Qin Ziling happily.

"Yeah, I'll be back when things are done."

Pretending not to see, Qin Ziling let Lu He change her clothes.

"By the way, Lu He, where are your parents from?"

Hearing Qin Ziling's question, Lu He's heart skipped a beat. Madam must have seen something just now.

"Madam, this servant did not do anything to offend Madam. This servant just gave my salary to my father. This servant really did not do anything to offend Madam." Afraid of hurting her family, Lu He knelt down on the ground in fright. Hastily explained.

"Lu He, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Seeing Luhe's sudden movement, Qin Ziling was also taken aback.She didn't expect Luhe to have such a big reaction.

"Get up, Mrs. Ben didn't blame you, I just asked you out of curiosity. I saw you and your father just now, so I was curious to ask, get up soon."
