In the end, Zheng Guo did not speak out his problem.
After sending Di Gu away, he had an expression on his face that looked like he had eaten shit, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Pang Zhi, who was standing next to him, also lowered his head and did not dare to speak at all.
Zheng Guo looked at the bills in his hand, and felt as if his heart was bleeding when he thought of the money taken away by Di Gu.
However, looking at Pang Zhi's appearance, he finally said nothing and just let out a long sigh.
"well--"
"I am going to the palace to see His Majesty now. Please think carefully in the palace whether there are any other bills."
"If there is, it must be dealt with as soon as possible. Don't wait for others to come and ask for it. I don't want to leave a bad name."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
It can also be seen from his back that his sad mood at this moment cannot be described in one or two sentences.
It wasn't until he arrived at Zhangtai Palace that he straightened his expression and walked in.
"See Your Majesty."
Seeing Zheng Guo coming, Ying Zheng put down what he was doing and leaned back slightly, looking particularly lazy.
"Get up."
Hearing this, Zheng Guo raised his head and saw the chair where Ying Zheng was sitting and the table in front of him, and his heart felt even more painful.
Did he know that Ran Fang made these specially for Ying Zheng, they were more comfortable than the ones bought at Liuguang Pavilion, and they were engraved with exquisite patterns.
Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he took out the contents of the library that he had written.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"This is a map of the library drawn based on the commander's suggestions, as well as the classification of some books."
Wei Liang unfolded the drawings and placed them on Ying Zheng's desk.
The requirements of the library are written in detail above, as well as which books can be purchased and which are free for Qian Shou to read.
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, raised his head and looked at Zheng Guo with a look in his eyes that also brought some relief.
Since having Ran Fang, he felt that he only needed to make the final decision on many things. Many suggestions were put forward by Ran Fang and implemented by the ministers.
It really helped him solve a lot of problems and made him worry a lot less.
"good!"
"Just do this!"
"Why is the price of the book not listed?"
When Ran Fang suggested that there were books for sale, Zheng Guo thought that although he was responsible for building the library, it was still His Majesty's business after all, so the price should not be too high.
Now, he was thinking that since he was running the library, he would naturally take part in the library's profits.
His family is now "heavily in debt", which is a little too much, but he thinks it should be okay.
Therefore, after bowing his head and thinking for a moment, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I still have some ideas about the book."
"According to Your Majesty's wishes, how much should this book cost?"
According to Ying Zheng's understanding of Zheng Guo, he would never lie. Since he said so, he naturally had no thoughts in his heart.
But I also feel that what Zheng Guo said today always makes people feel weird.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be settled by Zheng Guo, and he should decide whether it is appropriate.
Now Zheng Guo allowed himself to say that he was the leader of a country, but now he looked like a businessman.
"It's such a small matter, just make your own decision, don't ask others what they think."
"As for what happens after this library, if you have any doubts, you can ask Ran Fang for his opinion."
Zheng Guo originally thought that if Ying Zheng said a number, it would definitely be a big number. Then he would just follow Ying Zheng's wishes, so that no one would say anything even if the price was a bit high.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng looked a little angry, thinking that Ying Zheng had read through his thoughts.
He immediately put away his little thoughts and lowered his head, not even daring to look at Ying Zheng.
"Here."
"Please keep this in mind."
"I resigned..."
He originally wanted to say something to Ying Zheng, but he did not dare to say more. After talking about his own affairs, he hurriedly left Zhangtai Palace.
When he walked out, he couldn't help but admire Li Si, Ran Fang and others a little more in his heart.
To be able to be so relaxed and even calm in front of His Majesty, he may have to study hard for a while.
…
Ever since Gu Siyuan had dinner at Ran Fang's house that day, Ran Fang felt that Xiang Jin gave people a strange feeling every time he saw him.
For example, right now, when they were just eating, he saw that Xiang Jin was only picking up the food in front of him, so he pointed at the food in front of him and said casually: "This food is good, you can try it."
Xiang Jin's cheeks suddenly turned red, and his ears were so red that he looked very cute.
She shyly raised her hand, took a chopstick and put it in her mouth. After eating in a small bite, she glanced at Ran Fang.
There was something in that look that Ran Fang couldn't understand.
"Thank you Commander, it's delicious."
Ran Fang nodded and continued to eat the food in his bowl.
There is an air of elegance and a sense of freedom and ease in his movements, which makes people want to take a few more glances.
As for Xiang Jin, her eyes kept following his movements, and she even forgot to eat.
The look in his eyes seemed to be looking at the one he loved.
Ran Fang raised his head again and saw Xiang Jin's eyes.
However, he didn't see the meaning in Xiang Jin's eyes, and just asked in confusion: "Is there something wrong?"
"Still, do you have anything to say to me?"
Xiang Jin's face was even redder than before.
She didn't know what to say. It seemed that during this period of time together, she had a special feeling for the man in front of her, an emotion that transcended reason.
"ah?"
"that……"
"I...I heard that my brother Xiang Zhuang is in Xianyang Prison. Is it okay if I want to take a look?"
"You, you, don't worry, I have no other thoughts. I can go and persuade him. Maybe he will change his mind?"
"If you are worried, you can come with me. If he sees you treating me like this, he will be very relieved and will be very satisfied with you."
"Maybe, maybe... I agree."
Seeing that she was speaking incoherently due to shyness, there was a faint smile in Ran Fang's eyes.
"Your words are not to persuade him, but rather to introduce me to him and to marry me."
Being teased like this by Ran Fang, Xiang Jin stood up excitedly, thinking that her little thoughts had been discovered by Ran Fang.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, she straightened her clothes.
"I……"
"May I?"
Ran Fang was stunned for a moment by this question, but he didn't think much about it.
Then he nodded calmly and said with a smile: "Okay, I will have someone take you to Xianyang Prison tomorrow."
"The Xiang family should take action in the next few days. If you can persuade Xiang Zhuang to tell everything, then I can report this matter to Your Majesty and ask him to let your Xiang family go."
"But if Xiang Zhuang insists, then there is nothing I can do."
Xiang Jin nodded and didn't think there was any problem with Ran Fang's words.
But there were still some unexplained feelings in the eyes looking at Ran Fang.
"Okay, I understand."
