The Peerless Concubine of the King's Favorite

Chapter 196 The dispute over the pill mine, who will win (2)
Win and lose, venture capital?
Several people looked thoughtful in their eyes, and chewed the clear words in their mouths repeatedly.

Chu Qing squinted his eyes, Qianqian crossed his ten fingers in front of his chest: "You all say that the court is cunning? In fact, in my opinion, the person who came up with this idea is a cowardly gangster who is opportunistic. Although he is a little clever, but Without the courage of a man, the ability will stop here."

yes!An official of the imperial court dared not take risks because he was not sure about the value of the alchemy point. Instead, he went to plot against private merchants. How could such a person be so grand?
When Chu Qing said this, several people had some understanding in their eyes.At the same time, in my heart, I sneered at the person who came up with this cunning method.

"Ah!" The sudden sound of sneezing was particularly obvious in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

"Wen Shilang, did you catch a cold at night?" Someone asked with concern.

Wen Qingzhu rubbed the tip of her nose, and showed a modest and polite smile for the concern of her colleagues: "Master Lao Chen is concerned, maybe I caught a cold last night in preparation for today's bidding for the mining rights of Danxue."

The smile is gentle and the words are plain, but people can still notice the look of arrogance on his brow.

This time, he was solely responsible for the mining of the alchemy point, and he came up with such a good plan, which not only saved the court's early investment, but also added a fortune to the national treasury. It can be regarded as a great success in the Ministry of Industry. My father-in-law, when looking at himself, is also much more pleasing to the eye.

When Mr. Chen saw what he said, he just smiled falsely: "Servant Wen has worked hard, and he is indeed a role model for my generation. I hope you will pay more attention to your body."

The compliments from colleagues made Wen Qingzhu's heart feel more elated, and he lowered his eyes slightly, making final preparations for the competition that began in the afternoon.

After the disaster relief, he was punished instead, and he was finally arranged by his father-in-law to work in the Ministry of Industry when the news died down.Today, this opportunity is rare. If you do it well, you will be able to show your face in front of the Holy Master, and the day of prosperity is just around the corner.When the time comes... Chu Qing... hum...

In Wen Qingzhu's lowered eyes, a trace of icy coldness flashed across.

"By the way! Have you heard? The emperor has chosen the concubine for King Xiaoyao, and the wedding is just waiting for the spring next year." On the other side, several officials from the Ministry of Industry gathered together to chat.

"Which adult's daughter is so unlucky to marry a dude? Hehe." The voice of ridicule floated out without concealment.

Wen Qingzhu listened indifferently, with contempt in his eyes.Although Xiaoyao Wang is extremely favored by the emperor, it is a pity that he is just a prince without real power and a bully.For any woman to marry him, I am afraid life will not be easy.

The person who spoke before continued mysteriously: "It's strange this time. It stands to reason that with the degree of love the emperor has for King Xiaoyao, he will definitely find him a well-matched noble daughter as his concubine. However, this time no."

"Oh?" The crowd gathered together became curious.

The official who spoke first was usually an inquirer from the Ministry, and they could get a lot of first-hand information from him.At this moment, seeing him mysterious, everyone couldn't help but be tickled by him.

"Quickly tell me, don't be too tight-lipped. Who is the emperor referring to King Xiaoyao?" Someone urged.

Even Wen Qingzhu pricked up his ears, wanting to hear the result.

Seeing everyone's eagerness, the man smiled 'hehe' and said, "It's the daughter of a merchant."

"Ah!?" Everyone was surprised.

No matter how unbearable King Xiaoyao is, the status of this first-class prince will not change.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen are the lowest occupations, and the emperor actually pointed out the children of the lowest family to King Xiaoyao as his concubine?
Should it be said that this woman is a blessing, or that the emperor has finally opened his eyes and no longer loves Xiaoyao Wang?
"Impossible?" Someone raised doubts.

This suspicion was unanimously approved.

However, Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting on the sidelines, seemed indifferent, but when he heard the merchant's daughter, his heart suddenly jumped for no reason.

"This merchant's daughter is not ordinary." Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the person who broke the news continued: "Yesterday, the imperial decree for bestowing marriage has already come down to her family. It is said that this merchant lady was born beautiful and unparalleled. When King Xiaoyao saw it, he became obsessed with it on the spot, and he would not marry unless she was Qing. In addition, the identity of this woman is quite background, so the emperor agreed to this seemingly inappropriate marriage."

"What's the background of this woman?" The woman was beautiful, and was favored by King Xiaoyao.In the eyes of these adults, this is nothing more than normal.In comparison, they were more curious about this woman's unusual identity.

The more these people said this, the more uneasy and irritated Wen Qingzhu felt in his heart, he almost wanted to rush over, pinch the person who broke the news, and squeeze out all the words in his stomach at once.

Fortunately, he didn't take any action because he thought he was graceful, but just continued to listen patiently.

Seeing that everyone was curious about Qingqing's identity, the man said proudly, "Speaking of which, you probably have heard of this person."

"We've all heard it?"

People are more curious.

"Remember, a year ago, the emperor broke an exception and rewarded a folk woman?"

"Ah! You're talking about the sixth-rank edict who proposed vaccination against human pox?" Someone suddenly came to his senses.

"That's right, she seems to be a merchant's daughter." At the beginning, this incident was considered a sensation, and all civil and military officials were curious because of the generous reward from the emperor, and they generally knew something about Chu Qing's family background.

Snapped!
A crisp sound interrupted the conversation of several adults, and they all looked at the source of the sound in tacit understanding.

As far as I could see, I saw Wen Qingzhu sitting on the seat with a livid face.

"Master Wen, are you okay?" Someone asked out of courtesy.

Wen Qingzhu slowly put down the broken brush in his hand, forced a smile, and said to his colleagues, "It's okay, but I suddenly feel a little headache and uncomfortable."

"In this case, Mr. Wen, why not go home and rest for a while?" Someone suggested.

"Yeah yeah!"

The echoes continued.It seems that there is a lot of concern among colleagues.However, Wen Qingzhu knew that this was just the most basic perfunctory.

I'm afraid, they wish they could leave by themselves, so that they can continue chatting and gossiping more recklessly.

In normal times, Wen Qingzhu would never leave, but instead would sneer at them for dereliction of duty and passive sabotage.However, today...

The stiff smile twitched, Wen Qingzhu got up, tidied up the officials on his body, and tried to maintain a calm voice: "Alright, the afternoon is very important. Wen Mou will go back and have a rest first, and recharge his energy. Farewell." After speaking, he cupped his hands and left.
