Li Hongbi left.
He was carried onto the carriage again.
This time he was not seriously injured, but his waist injury had not healed yet. After the fall, he found it difficult to stand up.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Mei Wanyan showed a proud smile on her face.
"Hmph, you scoundrel, you deserve it!"
When Princess Ning Guo saw this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She wanted to scold her daughter, but seeing that Li Hongbi wasn't hurt, she simply ignored her.
Who made you such a bastard, already engaged, buying a maid from the Jiaofang Division, and brazenly shouting that she is your woman?
The Mei family also wants to keep their face, not to mention that Mei Wanyan is arrogant and arrogant, so it would be strange if she doesn't deal with you!
After the mother and daughter chatted for a few words, Princess Ningguo left in a hurry, took everything Li Hongbi had prepared, and went directly to the palace to face the saint.
At this moment, Zhu Di is handling government affairs accompanied by Queen Xu. During this time, the relationship between the couple has undoubtedly taken a step further.
At this moment, the eunuch suddenly walked in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Ningguo wants to see you!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di frowned.
Why did this royal sister come suddenly?
Last time, Zhu Di went to Princess Ningguo to discuss it in order to get a family letter for Mei Yin, but the two siblings had a big fight.
Princess Ning Guo bit her finger in anger, wrote a letter in blood and threw it to Zhu Di. As a result, the relationship between the siblings became extremely bad.
Not long ago, Mei Yin celebrated her birthday with great fanfare, and Zhu Di was still a little dissatisfied, so he just sent some eunuchs to help without even a symbolic reward.
The relationship between the two siblings is evident.
Empress Xu noticed Zhu Di's displeasure and reminded her: "Your Majesty, after all, she is the emperor's sister. You must meet her when you should. We cannot allow outsiders to gossip and damage the reputation of the Tian family."
Zhu Di nodded when he heard this and forced a smile.
A moment later, Princess Ning Guo walked into the hall quietly, and then knelt down to salute in a serious manner.
Zhu Di remained silent, but Queen Xu hurriedly stood up and helped Princess Ning Guo up.
"Sister Huang, come and sit down quickly. Have you had your meal?"
"We ate at home." Princess Ningguo said with a smile.
Empress Xu was relatively friendly to her, but Zhu Di, the younger brother...
The two girls chatted about their parents' conflicts, but Zhu Di kept watching the memorial and had no intention of interrupting.
Seeing this situation, Princess Ning Guo couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
But considering the plan of Li Hongbi's child and the life and death of the family, she could only endure it.
"Queen, how is the effect of the beauty cream?"
Princess Ning Guo deliberately turned the topic to the beauty cream.
When Queen Xu heard this, her eyes lit up.
These days, she and the emperor are inseparable, thanks to that magical beauty-retaining cream.
"Sister Huang, this beauty cream is really amazing. Its skin care effect is far better than ordinary rouge and gouache."
"It's just that one bottle is a little too little. Is there more available there, Sister Huang?"
Queen Xu asked with some embarrassment.
As the empress, she was quite busy on weekdays. She not only had to manage the harem, but also assisted Zhu Di in governing the world, so she didn't know that Zhuyan Cream had already become popular in the capital.
Princess Ningguo smiled and said: "Queen, don't worry, this beauty cream was created by that kid from Hongbi, and it has become popular in the capital."
Before Queen Xu could ask further questions, Zhu Di frowned.
"Hongbi?"
"Which Hongbi?"
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Zhu Di immediately regretted it.
He realized he had asked a stupid question.
Besides Li Hongbi, who else could be talking about Hongbi in Princess Ningguo's mouth?
Zhu Di's face darkened when he thought of this.
Originally, Zhu Di was also very curious about what the beauty cream was. It had such magical power, and its skin care and beauty effects were unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
But when he now learned that the Zhuyan Cream was created by Li Hongbi, he suddenly became a little unhappy.
I asked you to join the court as an official, but you boy refused to do so.
Now you turn around and study these strange and obscene techniques to please women?
This is really unreasonable!
Zhu Di was inevitably a little disappointed with Li Hongbi.
A person who is so willing to degenerate, even if he is a young talent, will not be able to achieve anything great!
Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong, you really don’t know how to teach your son!
Seeing Zhu Di's gloomy face, Princess Ning Guo roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Now that Zhu Di has taken the initiative to speak, she can't continue to be so reserved. After all, the two sides are about to cooperate.
Thinking like this, Princess Ningguo smiled and said: "When it comes to this beauty cream, I do have a business deal and want to cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was obviously taken aback, not quite understanding what she meant.
Queen Xu's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly tugged on Princess Ning Guo's sleeve.
The emperor is the son of heaven, the father of the people, and the most respected person in the world. How can he do business with others in partnership?
If those courtiers found out, there would be a huge commotion!
How decent it is!
Zhu Di did not get angry, but looked at Princess Ningguo with deep eyes.
"Could it be that the deal that the imperial sister mentioned is the beauty cream?"
At this point, Zhu Di himself wanted to laugh, his tone full of disdain.
No matter how miraculous this beauty cream is, it is just something for women. How much profit can it make?
After all, he, Zhu Di, was also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How could he disregard the dignity of the royal family and the Tian family just because of such a small profit?
When the court officials label him as "competing with the people", how can he, Zhu Di, be the emperor?
Zhu Di sneered and continued to read the memorial, directly expressing his attitude.
"Your Majesty, Queen, don't refuse in a hurry, let's take a look at this profit statement!"
Princess Ningguo smiled and handed over the profit report.
Empress Xu reached out to take it with some embarrassment, just glanced at it, and let out an exclamation the next moment.
"One hundred thousand taels?"
"How can this be?"
"Yes, one hundred thousand taels!" Princess Ningguo said with a smile, "And it's just the profit for the first half month!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di suddenly raised his head and snatched the profit report.
When he heard the three words "one hundred thousand taels", he was already shocked beyond measure.
A mere facial cream can actually earn one hundred thousand taels a month?
Zhu Di wanted to confirm if it was true, but he couldn't let go of his posture, so he had to keep silent.
However, Princess Ningguo immediately added the next sentence, which made Emperor Yongle completely unable to sit still.
Half a month, one hundred thousand taels? !
What is this concept?
Half a month’s profit is almost as much as the government’s annual taxes!
Therefore, Zhu Di was moved!
"Sister Huang, is this serious?"
With real money and silver in front of him, Zhu Di was too lazy to worry about face.
There is no way, he, Emperor Yongle, is so short of money now that his eyes are almost glowing green!
Princess Ningguo gave a positive answer.
"The daily sales are above, and there is absolutely no fraud."
"Your Majesty and the Queen may not know yet, but the beauty cream has now become popular in the capital, and is being wildly sought after by noble ladies and concubines. Therefore, it is understandable that the sales volume has reached this level. After all, they have plenty of money!"
Empress Xu nodded subconsciously after hearing this, and said: "Those concubines in the harem have indeed sent people out of the palace frequently in recent days, and it turns out they are all for this beauty cream!"
After two verifications, Zhu Di also realized that the profits of the facial cream were extremely terrifying!
However, before he could speak, Princess Ning Guo reached forward and took back the profit report.
"Since the Emperor is in a dilemma and does not want to participate in this transaction, I will not force anyone to do anything."
"I will take my leave now and won't disturb Your Majesty and the Queen!"
When Zhu Di heard this, his expression changed and he quickly winked at Queen Xu.
But this time, Queen Xu didn't help him and pretended not to see it.
It's better for you to resolve the conflict between your siblings.
Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seeing that Princess Ning Guo was about to walk out of the hall, he put down his face and hurriedly said: "Sister Huang, please stay. Let's discuss this matter..."
Princess Ning Guo stopped and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Brat, I can’t control you anymore?
Even Emperor Yongle could not escape the Law of True Fragrance.
