The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 785 Making a deal with the emperor (4)
Xiao Mingyu was still worried, "Then can my prince come out?" She really didn't believe in Emperor Jingfu's credibility.

Han Ge smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor still has some credit. Since Mr. Zongzheng and the old man have said so, this matter can be done in all likelihood. You don't need to worry too much."

"I can rest assured that."

Xiao Mingyu returned to the palace, took out the soap formula, and sighed.Since the emperor set the price, she has no room to bargain.As long as Zhou Qian can come out smoothly, this formula is dedicated.For others this recipe is priceless.But to Xiao Mingyu, this is just a soap formula, worth a few thousand taels at most.As long as the knowledge in her mind is not forgotten, she has plenty of ways to make money.Now Feng Changgen has taken root in the south, and his annual income is more than that of opening a soap factory.It's just that Xiao Mingyu didn't even say anything about Zhou Gan because he was afraid that the emperor would find out.The money from Feng Changgen was not sent to the capital either.That much money is too eye-catching.At most, at the end of each year, let Feng Changgen prepare more rich and innovative gifts.

Xiao Mingyu spent the whole night preparing the draft, when to meet the emperor, what to look like when seeing the emperor, and what to say, so that Zhou Gan can be released and at the same time, he can get more benefits for himself.I thought about it a lot, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

Early the next morning, with the right time, Xiao Mingyu brought Fangzi and samples into the palace.Xiao Mingyu did not go to see Concubine Wei, but asked to see Emperor Jing Fu directly.

When the news reached the harem, Concubine Wei stamped anxiously, "This child, don't worry, she won't listen." Concubine Wei quickly packed up and rushed over.However, Concubine Wei Gui came late, when she arrived, Emperor Jing Fu had already summoned Xiao Mingyu.Emperor Jingfu ordered, no one is allowed to enter without a will.Concubine Wei could only wait outside the palace gate.

Xiao Mingyu kowtowed, knelt on the ground, and held up a wooden box with both hands. Inside the wooden box were the soap's formula and process requirements, as well as two samples.The samples are well made, one white and one light blue, both are eye-catching.

Emperor Jingfu raised his eyes to look at Xiao Mingyu, and then hummed.Then the palace servants took the wooden box from Xiao Mingyu's hand, opened it for inspection, and made sure that it was non-toxic and not dangerous before sending it to Emperor Jingfu's desk.Emperor Jing Fu picked up the soap and looked at it, then sniffed it with his nose, nodded, it was indeed a good thing.

Emperor Jing Fu asked directly, "When did this happen?"

Xiao Mingyu knew well that what Emperor Jing Fu asked was when the soap formula came out.Xiao Mingyu didn't hide it, to tell the truth, it happened two years ago.

Emperor Jingfu asked again, "Why didn't you take it out at the beginning?"

Xiao Mingyu was also honest, "This thing is too eye-catching. When it was a soap factory, there was already a lot of trouble. If you take out the soap again, I don't know how many people in the world will feel jealous. My daughter-in-law thinks that her shoulders are too small to bear. To carry such a heavy burden, so it has been placed, just as if there is no such thing.”

Emperor Jingfu snorted coldly, "Then why are you willing to take it out today?"

"My daughter-in-law thought about it a lot, and thought that good things should be shared with everyone. My daughter-in-law also learned that both the state treasury and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in financial constraints. If a piece of soap can be mass-produced, it will definitely enrich the state treasury and increase internal funds. This is a little bit of filial piety from my daughter-in-law Tong Ning, and please accept it with a smile." Xiao Mingyu lowered her head firmly, afraid of revealing a trace of contempt.Yes, Xiao Mingyu despises Emperor Jing Fu's hypocrisy, and also despises his own insincerity.It's obviously to save Zhou Qian, but he has to say it so nasty.

Emperor Jingfu smiled, and smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, you have filial piety. If you donate this thing, you will definitely lose a lot. Say what you want, as long as it is not too much, I will definitely satisfy you."

Xiao Mingyu said, "My daughter-in-law is sincerely offering this prescription. This prescription remains in the hands of my daughter-in-law. Although it is precious, it cannot produce wealth. It does not help the court or the common people. It is only in the hands of the emperor. to perform to the best of its ability.”

Emperor Jingfu laughed loudly, "You are very good and you are very attentive. Don't worry, I will never do things like killing chickens and taking eggs. After the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Works has finished taking care of the matter, you can also build another soap factory to specialize in the production of soap. Soap. But you can’t sell this recipe for five years, understand?”

Xiao Mingyu bowed his head and responded, "My daughter-in-law understands. It's just that my daughter-in-law and the prince are too shy. If we really want to build a soap factory then, we will have to find someone to invest in it. I don't know if it's feasible."

Emperor Jing Fu thought about it, and he couldn't do things too badly, like this kind of opportunity to lie down and collect money, he still had to give it to others.So Emperor Jingfu swiped his pen, "Okay, others are allowed to participate in the shares. But everyone can't participate. I hope you can check it out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's just that my daughter-in-law, as a woman, is busy with internal affairs all day long, and she is really unable to do business outside. But the prince has some experience in this regard, maybe the prince can come forward." Xiao Mingyu said tentatively .

Emperor Jing Fu said solemnly, "Prince Ning has his own arrangements. I believe in your ability. The internal affairs of the palace will not trouble you, and you also have many people who are useful. That's enough, there is no need to complain in front of me. , back down."

"Daughter-in-law obeys, and daughter-in-law resigns." Xiao Mingyu was a little unwilling, and quit in despair without even getting an accurate answer, which really made people uncomfortable.Being unhappy with himself is also unhappy with Emperor Jingfu.However, the other party was the emperor, so Xiao Mingyu could only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood.

After leaving the palace gate, I saw Concubine Wei waiting outside.Xiao Mingyu hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects to An, and Concubine Wei stared at Xiao Mingyu and sighed secretly, "Follow me, let's have a good talk."

"My daughter-in-law obeys."

The two arrived at the imperial garden. At this time of year, the scenery of the imperial garden has already faded, but fortunately the weather is not too hot.Both Xiao Mingyu and Concubine Wei were not in the mood to commemorate the scenery of the imperial garden, so Concubine Wei asked directly, "What did you do?"

"The daughter-in-law is guilty, please punish the concubine mother."

Concubine Wei turned her head to stare at Xiao Mingyu, "I just want to know what you did to ask to see the emperor?"

Xiao Mingyu bowed and said, "Yesterday I went to the clan's mansion to meet the lord, and I met with Lord Zongzheng. Lord Zongzheng wanted my daughter-in-law to express her sincerity, so today my daughter-in-law went to the palace with enough sincerity to beg to see the emperor, and hoped that the emperor would send the lord to the palace as soon as possible." Let it out. Although the emperor did not give a clear promise, the prince will definitely come out soon."

Concubine Wei frowned, "Sincerity? What kind of sincerity do you give to the emperor?"

Xiao Mingyu said solemnly, "Soap, soap with colors and scented soap, is softer than soap, and can be used directly to wash the cheeks."

Concubine Wei took a deep breath, "You? You are really impulsive. Why don't you discuss such a big matter with me first."
