fragrant.
It smells really good.
How much is face worth?
Zhu Di was so short of money that he couldn't afford official salaries!
Now that he has finally found a way to make money, how could he just let it go.
Princess Ningguo sat back on her seat and looked at Zhu Di with a smile.
That proud and smug look was clearly showing off.
However, Zhu Di was controlled by others, and now he can only admit defeat.
Empress Xu felt a little funny when she saw this, and hurriedly spoke to ease Zhu Di's embarrassing situation.
"Sister Huang, although the profit of this beauty cream is amazing, one bottle can last for a long time, so the subsequent profit should not be so high, right?"
Empress Xu was worthy of being a virtuous empress who would go down in history, and she could see the problem at a glance.
Princess Ning Guo did not hide it, but directly repeated Li Hongbi's words.
After she finished speaking, Zhu Di and Queen Xu looked at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Although there is a profit vacuum period in this business, overall the profits are still far higher than other rouge gouache, which is enough to make people excited.
Furthermore, the retail method proposed by Princess Ning Guo is indeed good, and it can be considered a good way to make up for profits.
Now that you are tempted, just do it and live it.
Zhu Di has always been a decisive person, so he spoke directly.
"How do you intend to form a partnership, Sister Huang?"
"I must state in advance that I am the emperor after all, so I cannot come forward or leak any news!"
No wonder Zhu Di is so careless about his reputation. He wants to get free benefits but is unwilling to work hard. Face is really the most important thing for the Tian family!
Emperor Taizu Gao set strict control measures on the Tian family, the most stringent of which was not to compete with the people for profit!
In the Ming dynasty, all the officials were enfeoffed but not given land, given nobility but not to the people, paid a salary but did not manage affairs, and could not participate in the four people's industries (that is, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce), and could be hereditary.
After all, Emperor Taizu Gao, who loved his people like his own son, was thinking about the people.
After all, the old Zhu family has gained the country, and if they get involved in the business of the four people, how can they live?
Even the vassal clan is like this, and the imperial family Tianjia even dare not do it.
What's more, Zhu Di has just sat on the throne now. It's time to protect his reputation, win over people's hearts and gather prestige. He must not plant hidden dangers for himself!
After hearing this, Princess Ning Guo nodded with a smile and took out the two cooperation contracts.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, we naturally know this."
"The production and sales of the Zhuyan Cream are the responsibility of Duke Cao, and I am responsible for the promotion and publicity of the Zhuyan Cream. As for Your Majesty, you don't have to do anything. You just need to send someone to collect the money on time!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression became very exciting.
No need to do anything!
Just lie down and collect the money!
How can there be such a good thing in this world?
But they still took the initiative to deliver it to my door!
Either adultery or theft!
Zhu Di did not respond, but looked at the contract.
When he saw the three characters "Li Hongbi", his pupils shrank suddenly.
The beauty cream was invented by Li Hongbi.
And now that the imperial sister has taken the initiative to come to the door, is this cooperation... also Li Hongbi's idea?
"Sister Huang, is this Li Hongbi's idea?"
Zhu Di looked up at Princess Ning Guo with a rather surprised tone.
Princess Ning Guo simply nodded. After all, it was all Li Hongbi's credit from beginning to end.
Her Mei family is already content with just drinking the soup, so they can't eat all the meat, right?
Li Hongbi is not only talented, but also has an exquisite mind. As his future mother-in-law, Princess Ningguo also hopes that this child can win the favor of Zhu Di and enter the court as an official.
Princess Ningguo told the story very frankly, including Li Hongbi's initiative to come to the door and propose cooperation between the three families.
After hearing this, Zhu Di and Queen Xu looked at each other, and both of them saw the surprise in the other's eyes.
Li Hongbi, what do you want to do?
From the beginning, he had planned to cooperate with three companies and give most of the profits to Zhu Di for free!
Could it be because...
Zhu Di was silent.
Looking at the two contracts in his hands, he never spoke.
If he could not understand Li Hongbi's purpose, Zhu Di would not be the Yongle Emperor in the future!
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Queen Xu hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over.
"Sister Huang, I heard that Hongbi and Wanyan are engaged?"
"Well, Hongbi and Wanyan are both national treasures!" Princess Ningguo said with a smile, "It can be regarded as a secret destiny between these two children."
"Then we have to hurry up and get married. After all, Wanyan is already seventeen and has been married to her for a long time. We can't delay it any longer."
Queen Xu said with a smile, successfully relaxing the atmosphere a lot.
Zhu Di was silent for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking.
Queen Xu and Princess Ning Guo did not dare to ask, and simply chatted about the marriage between Li Hongbi and Mei Wanyan.
But Princess Ningguo smiled reluctantly. She certainly knew what Zhu Di was hesitating about.
If the three families cooperate, it will become a community of interests, and Zhu Di will not attack the Mei family and the Li family easily.
Do you really think that these two families are crazy and willing to give hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Zhu Di every year?
That's the life money of their two families!
Finally, Zhu Di spoke.
"I agree to this matter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Di directly picked up the imperial pen and wrote his name on the contract. There were two contracts each.
Seeing this situation, Princess Ningguo was overjoyed and her eyes even turned red.
She immediately stood up and knelt on the ground, choking and saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di put down his imperial pen and stepped forward to help Princess Ning Guo up with his own hands.
"Sister, you are my biological sister, why do you act like this?"
"I have never had...that's all, that's all."
Zhu Di wanted to explain something, but in the end he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Some things become darker and darker the more they are described, and the more they are explained the more unclear they become.
Anyway, that’s it, so be it!
Zhu Di handed the contract to Princess Ningguo.
The latter solemnly put away the contract, then said goodbye and left wisely.
Looking at Princess Ning Guo's back, Zhu Di's face was uncertain for a while, and finally turned into a touch of bitterness.
"Your Majesty?" Queen Xu called softly, stood up and walked to Zhu Di's side.
"Queen, do you believe me?" Zhu Di murmured.
"I have never had any intention of harming them, but the imperial sister...can't trust me!"
Zhu Di smiled bitterly and said: "It wasn't until just now that I finally understood what it means to be 'lonely'!"
The eldest sister is like a mother.
When she was a child, Princess Ning Guo loved her younger brothers Zhu Di very much.
Therefore, the relationship between siblings is quite deep. Unfortunately, things have changed and everything has changed.
Not even his biological sister can trust him, so she has to rely on giving him Zhu Di money to buy her life. It's really ridiculous and sad!
Empress Xu held Zhu Di's big hand and said softly: "Maybe, this is not the emperor's original intention!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di felt a lot better, and then a figure appeared in his mind.
That figure was shouting at him, "I want to be a loser!"
Li Hongbi!
Yes, it must be him!
This bastard is so lawless!
Zhu Di snorted coldly, immediately called a eunuch and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, the eunuch hurriedly left the palace and went straight to Cao Guogong's mansion.
At this moment, Li Hongbi was lying on the bed, continuing to let Sheng Yin give him acupuncture.
"Brother Sheng, let me tell you, the Mei family is really evil!"
"I went to his house twice, and both times I was hit by some damn thing!"
Sheng Yin was injecting the needle while suppressing a smile.
Although he didn't know whether what Li Hongbi said was true, Li Hongbi was indeed carried back to the Duke's Mansion.
"Brother Xian, is there a possibility that you are too weak?"
Li Hongbi: "???"
Damn it?
Humiliate me?
It's too much!
"Brother Sheng, have you finished reading those gynecological medical books?"
When it came to business, Sheng Yin also stopped smiling.
"It's almost done."
"After all, medical skills are not divided into different branches, and we can draw parallels between them."
"Moreover, the medical theories advocated by my master and my ancestor are quite consistent with this gynecological medicine."
Hearing this, Li Hongbi couldn't help but smile.
Zhu Danxi advocates nourishing and maintaining health, while Dai Sigong emphasizes protecting qi and blood. At first glance, this is indeed tailor-made for gynecological medicine!
Nourish the body and protect the qi and blood, which is a commonly used slogan for health care in future generations.
"Now that Brother Sheng has seen it, it's time for us to put it into practice!"
"After all, we can't just talk about it on paper. Only through continuous practice can we accumulate experience!"
Hearing this, Sheng Yin was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost pierced Li Hongbi's waist with a silver needle!
"What are you doing!" Li Hongbi wailed in pain and screamed like a slaughtering pig.
Sheng Yin apologized quickly and finally appeased the pig.
"That good brother, I feel like I'm not ready yet."
"Give me another month or two, and then we will practice..."
"You want to eat shit!" Li Hongbi laughed angrily and scolded, "Medical skills are all based on medical experience. No matter how much you read, it will be useless!"
This is indeed the truth, but the problem is that Sheng Yin is thin-skinned!
"Then let's open a medical clinic?"
"No need." Li Hongbi said with a bad smile, "Is there still a shortage of girls with gynecological diseases in Qinhuai from ten miles away?"
Sheng Yin: "(〝▼ dishes▼)"
Ten miles from Qinhuai?
Whore?
You are shameless and I still want it!
At this moment, the old housekeeper Li Quan hurried over.
"Young Master, someone is coming to the palace. His Majesty has urgently summoned you to the palace to meet the emperor!"
Entering the palace to meet the saint?
This time Li Hongbi was dumbfounded.
