"Let me, the prince consort, explain this for you!"

Just then, Ao Yifan suddenly spoke, immediately attracting Deng Chanyu's attention.

"Tch, pretty boy!"

As a female general who leads troops into battle, Deng Chanyu's greatest idols are ancient female war goddesses like Jiutian Xuannv and generals like Princess Suzhi who fight against demons.

Therefore, in Deng Chanyu's mind, this princess's husband was just a gigolo who depended on the princess.

Ao Yifan had no idea what this little girl thought of him; otherwise, he would have definitely helped her conceive repeatedly.

"It has been said since ancient times that a divinely ordained bird descended and gave birth to the Shang dynasty!"

Ao Yifan slowly said, "However, the Xuan Bird that created the Cheng Tang Empire was not the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden before us, but the legendary Primordial Phoenix!"

"That's right, I only resemble Sister Yuanfeng, which is why you mortals mistake me for her."

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke.

"So that's it!"

Deng Chanyu nodded and said, "It seems that this was really a misunderstanding. However, Lady Xuan Nu, judging from how you addressed Lord Yuan Feng just now, are you very familiar with Lord Yuan Feng?"

"We've had drinks together!"

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said calmly."

Upon hearing this, Deng Chanyu's eyes practically sparkled with admiration.

Drinking wine with the legendary ancestral bird of the Yin-Shang Dynasty, Lord Yuanfeng, is an honor that only ancient deities like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady would have the opportunity to receive.

"Now that things are clear, this old minister knows how to report back to Your Majesty."

Shang Rong said, "However, this old minister observes that Chen Tang Pass is quite prosperous. Your Highness, please allow this old minister to stay in Chen Tang Pass for a few more days. Is that alright?"

"Hehe, if Prime Minister Shang is interested, I am naturally happy to welcome him. I will immediately order someone to arrange accommodation for him."

"That's what Madam Yin said."

However, in response to Madam Yin's kindness, Shang Rong waved his hand and said, "There's no need to trouble Your Highness. This old minister wishes to learn more about the lives of the people of Chentang Pass so that he can see things more clearly. Therefore, this old minister will take his leave now!"

"kindness"

Lady Yin did not try to stop her.

Watching Shang Rong leave under Deng Chanyu's protection, Ao Yifan suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that this Prime Minister Shang is not so easy to deal with. He is not completely at ease and is preparing to thoroughly investigate the entire Chen Tang Pass!"

“Indeed, my father once said that the Shang prime minister is the pillar of our Yin Shang dynasty. His discerning eyes are even better than those of my uncle, Bigan. It is not easy to fool him.”

Lady Yin said, "My lord, our deal with the demon race of the Four Seas should be fine, right?"

This is also something that Madam Yin is worried about.

The prosperity of Chentang Pass was due to a series of policies implemented by Lady Yin.

The main reason, however, was the trade with the demon race of the four seas.

Possessing abundant rare marine resources, Chentang Pass has become incredibly wealthy, transforming into a commercial center of the Shang Dynasty.

However, although the demon race of the Four Seas is restrained by the prince consort, they are still demons after all. If this matter is exposed, someone with ulterior motives could frame them for colluding with the demon race. At that time, even the king's side would probably not be able to get away with it.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements for this. A distinguished guest will be coming to Chentang Pass soon. With him here, even if the matter of the Four Seas Demon Clan is exposed, Chaoge City won't be able to say much."

Ao Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "As for this Minister Shang, I also have a plan. As long as my plan succeeds, he will surely become our strongest ally!"

Chapter 83 Business

2025-03-05 10:07:10 Author: The Blind Man Without an Umbrella

“My lord, why should we listen to the words of that lowly son-in-law of the Yin Shang and attend this Yin Shang Business Summit? Wouldn’t that be beneath your dignity?”

This book is being published for the first time.

Chen Jiugong spoke respectfully to a dark-skinned middle-aged man beside him.

"Yes, Your Excellency, you are wealthy and powerful. This business summit should be hosted by Your Excellency. How could that little prince consort of the Yin Dynasty be qualified?"

On the other side, Yao Shaosi also expressed his indignation.

"Have you forgotten the teachings I gave you?"

The dark-skinned middle-aged man glanced indifferently at his two subordinates.

"For merchants, the most important thing is to abide by the rules. Since Chentang Pass is now the commercial center of the entire world, and the other party has proposed this rather interesting Yin-Shang Commercial Summit, we need to abide by these rules!"

Faced with the middle-aged man's reprimand, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi both lowered their heads to listen.

Ignoring his two subordinates, the middle-aged man surveyed everything in Chentang Pass.

"Indeed, it's no wonder that it took only one or two years to build Chentang Pass into the commercial center of the entire Yin Shang Dynasty. The street planning alone gives people a sense of order and efficiency!"

The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, showing even more interest in the Shang Dynasty prince consort.

Just then, a carriage passed by the three of them, and at the same time, a jade-like hand lifted a corner of the carriage window.

"Chen Tang Pass truly lives up to its reputation. I've long heard of its fame as the commercial center of the world, and seeing it now, it's truly extraordinary!"

Her clear and melodious voice was like pearls falling onto a jade plate, giving people a feeling of tranquility and joy.

"Miss!"

At this moment, a pretty and lovely maid asked worriedly, "We came here to attend that business summit without informing the Minister of Commerce. Is that really a good idea?"

The beautiful woman calmly replied, "Since Father doesn't allow me to participate in court affairs, but instead entrusts the family business to me, then naturally there's no need to report business matters to Father."

Upon hearing this, the pretty maid secretly glanced at her mistress. She knew that her mistress still harbored resentment towards the Prime Minister's decision.

To avoid upsetting her mistress, the charming maid immediately changed the subject and took out a jade slip.

"Miss, this business summit not only involves the division of the entire commercial territory of the Yin Shang Dynasty, but also a grand auction. Miss, look, there are several rare treasures here. Shall we participate in the auction?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman took the jade slip from the maid's hand, and her eyes lit up when she saw several treasures inside.

Clearly, many of the treasures at this auction were quite attractive to a young girl like her.

"Hehe, that prince consort is indeed quite talented. Just this summit, which brought together all the business talents of the Yin Shang Dynasty, has made him a fortune. It seems that we have all underestimated Princess Suzhi's prince consort!"

Inside the restaurant, Shang Rong and Deng Jiugong sat on either side of each other, drinking and enjoying the bustling city outside.

"Hiss, I don't understand business or anything like that, but this wine alone is far more delicious than anything I've ever had before. To put it bluntly, even the finest wines in the royal palace probably don't compare to a tenth of this!"

As Deng Jiugong spoke, he savored the wine in his glass again, a look of enjoyment on his face.

With a slight smile, Shang Rong offered no comment. However, even he, who was always strict with himself, had drunk a bit too much today.

Perhaps because he was slightly tipsy, he didn't even see that the carriage passing by below the restaurant was from his Prime Minister's residence.

"That seems to be..."

Nearby, Deng Chanyu noticed a carriage passing by the restaurant, but she didn't think much of it. The restaurant's snacks were simply too delicious.

"I ate a bit too much today. Sigh, looks like I'll have to chop a thousand more times tonight to avoid gaining weight."

Despite her thoughts, Deng Chanyu couldn't resist eating another small pastry.

……

"My lord, do you know how much we've earned these past two days?"

Despite her large pregnant belly, Madam Yin still walked briskly, and even her maids, including Xiaobai and Xiaoqing, couldn't keep up with her pace.

With one arm around Fairy Yunhua and Princess Longji, Ao Yifan smiled at Madam Yin and said, "Madam, you'll soon be a mother of three, so you need to be more mature."

"Hmph, I'll do whatever I want!"

Madam Yin gave a soft snort and gave Princess Longji a look. The latter stood aside with a wronged expression, while Madam Yin sat down in Ao Yifan's lap.

This scene made the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was massaging Ao Yifan's shoulders behind him, raise an eyebrow.

Princess Longji held a very high position, yet in this household, she was treated like a bullied little wife, which shows the status of Madam Yin in Ao Yifan's heart.

"Your Highness, thanks to your business summit, which attracted big merchants from all over Yin Shang, the spending of these people alone in the past two days is equivalent to our annual income."

Clutching the jade slip in her hand, Madam Yin's eyes were filled with excitement, and her gaze towards her future husband, Ao Yifan, became even more ardent. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, she would have...

"cough cough"

With a light cough, Ao Yifan put his arm around Madam Yin's soft waist and said, "This is just the first time. From now on, we will hold this event every year and make Chentang Pass a commercial mecca for the entire Yin Shang Dynasty!"

"Of course, such success is also thanks to Longji. You should thank her for contributing various immortal wines and dessert recipes."

Ao Yifan said.

Upon hearing this, Madam Yin took Princess Longji's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Longji, thank you for your contributions to Chentang Pass. During this time, I will allow the Prince Consort to give you a few nights alone!"

"Thank you so much, Sister Suzhi!"

Princess Longji blushed slightly.

Ao Yifan couldn't help but roll his eyes. When did he become a bargaining chip for Madam Yin to reward the women in her household?

However, Princess Longji played a significant role in establishing her position this time.

After all, no one expected that this princess, who was showered with love and affection, had no other hobbies but liked to research recipes for magical wines and snacks.

In fact, she was demoted to the mortal realm this time because she changed all the drinks and snacks at the Peach Banquet at the last minute. In the end, because the recipe was not mature, she made a big joke and turned the entire Peach Banquet into a farce.

Now, the drinks and snacks in the restaurants of Chentang Pass are all improved by Princess Longji based on local raw materials during this period.

It became an instant hit upon its release.

This also made Madam Yin a fortune, after all, almost half of the restaurants in Chentang Pass were Madam Yin's personal property.

Because of this, the entire General's Mansion's food, clothing, and daily necessities were upgraded several levels.

There's no way around it, money talks!
