At the same time, Zhan Wangfu.
The chess game between Zuo Huaian and Xiao Jingzhi was reaching a point where the outcome would be determined by one move.
Zuo Huaian stared nervously and seriously at the last chess piece in Xiao Jingzhi's hand until the chess piece was settled.
"I can't play anymore. I think the prince is deliberately humiliating my chess skills."
Outside, everyone would praise his superb chess skills, but when he played chess with Xiao Jing, he didn't even have a chance to win by chance.
"If the mind is unstable, the chess will be unstable." Xiao Jingzhi said to Zuo Huaian while putting his black chess piece on the chessboard back into the chess box.
Zuo Huaian pretended to glance at Xiao Jingzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and murmured in a low voice: "When the prince teased Miss Shen, why didn't you see that the prince was calm and steady?"
Because Xiao Jingzhi asked him to keep an eye on Shen Yunshu's every move last time, he thought that the remarks made against Shen Yunshu yesterday were made by Xiao Jingzhi.
Xiao Jingzhi stopped what he was doing.
Zuo Huai'an swallowed guiltily, "Your Majesty, I just made a little joke."
"Keep talking." Xiao Jingzhi continued to collect the chess pieces calmly.
"The situation in the city has changed drastically today. Should I go back and reverse it?" Zuo Huaian asked cautiously.
He couldn't guess what Xiao Jingzhi was thinking, so he had to make a tentative guess.
"Do you think the General's Palace will not investigate, or do you think Prince Qi's Palace will give up?" Xiao Jingzhi asked.
After all, this matter involves a wide range of matters.
"That's right, Your Majesty."
Zuo Huaian immediately told Xiao Jingzhi what happened in the general's house today.
"I don't see that Miss Shen is a bit smart, but not much."
He felt that even if Shen Yunshu found the person who spread the rumors, he found the wrong person behind the scenes.
Xiao Jingyi looked helpless, "No wonder Prime Minister Zuo didn't entrust you with this important task."
It’s really difficult for Zuo Huaian’s single brain circuit~
"I'm so happy, no one cares." Zuo Huaian looked uncaring and disdainful.
But Xiao Jingzhi knew that Zuo Huai'an said he didn't care, but in his heart he envied his second brother Zuo Huaiyuan.
Xiao Jingzhi did not respond to his words, and after a while asked Zuo Huaian to send people to continue to stare at Shen Yunshu.
"Still watching?"
Zuo Huai'an thought: Yesterday's public opinion was enough to kill the little girl, why did Xiao Jingzhi still hold on to Shen Yunshu?
Could it be that Shen Yunshu really caused some indelible pain to Xiao Jingzhi?
Xiao Jingzhi saw Zuo Huaian's thoughts, "If you don't want to, I, the king..."
"I am willing, of course I am willing. How can I not be willing to work for the prince?" Zuo Huaian hurriedly interrupted Xiao Jingzhi.
After saying that, Zuo Huaian ran away in a flash.
Xin Heng on the side stepped forward to help Xiao Jingzhi clean up the chessboard.
In fact, all that Xiao Jingzhi did, only Xin Heng knew that the prince was thinking about Shen Yunshu.
If it hadn't been for the prince's intervention, the public opinion today might not have been as heated.
But what Xin Heng didn't understand was what kind of feelings the prince had for Shen Yunshu.
But no matter what, I hope Shen Yunshu won't hold the prince back and don't waste the prince's good intentions.
The scorching sun hung high in the afternoon, and the red light shone on the ground. The nostrils of the mules and horses on the street were flaring, and the grass in the corners was bent.
After settling the accounts, Shen Yunshu walked out of the teahouse where his mother's dowry was given, and was dazzled by the hot sunshine.
Chunrou held up the umbrella for Shen Yunshu and said, "Miss, please go buy a bowl of mung bean soup for the lady."
Shen Yunshu glanced at the man wearing a bamboo hat and sitting sideways in the teahouse opposite, "Let's go have a cup of herbal tea."
After passing by, Shen Yunshu sat directly behind the man.
She pushed Chunrou away and whispered to the man behind her: "I want to see the prince."
The man was startled when he heard the sound and pretended not to hear.
Shen Yunshu added, "I want to see Xiao Jingzhi!"
When the man heard this, he put a few coins on the table, got up and left.
Soon, Shen Yunshu received the prompt to go to Yanyu Tower.
"You are smarter than I thought." Xiao Jingzhi was thinking that Shen Yunshu might have noticed it from the moment someone was staring at Shen Yunshu.
"I just thought the prince was complimenting me." Shen Yunshu was not polite.
Xiao Jingzhi looked at Shen Yunshu's calm expression and said, "I wonder what important matter Miss Shen has to meet with me?"
Shen Yunshu took a sip of tea leisurely and said, "As expected of Jiangzhou Yangjiaochun, great tea!"
"It seems that Miss Shen has done a lot of research on tea." Xiao Jingzhi was a little surprised.
"I think the prince should know that my grandfather's family was in business before he entered Taiyuan Hospital, including a tea house." Shen Yunshu explained.
Xiao Jingzhi then thought that Shen Yunshu was kept in Liu Mansion for a long time when he was young.
"So Miss Shen also studied medical skills with Imperial Physician Liu."
Shen Yunshu raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jingzhi, "The prince wants to ask me how I know that the prince has stomach disease."
Now that it comes to this, she can only say: "I accidentally touched the prince's pulse last time."
Xiao Jingzhi was about to think about it when Shen Yunshu spoke again, "I came to see the prince today because I actually want to discuss a business deal with him."
Xiao Jingzhi was immediately interested, "Let's talk and listen."
"The weather has been particularly hot this year, and teahouses in many places have been unable to continue their business."
"The weather is hot and everyone prefers to drink tea. Business will be better. How can we not continue to do it?" Xiao Jingzhi questioned.
"However, due to drought in many places in the first half of the year, tea production has been severely reduced. Tea houses cannot buy tea, and tea house business is difficult to do." Shen Yunshu analyzed carefully.
Xiao Jingzhi stared at Shen Yunshu expressionlessly, but she was thinking in her heart that the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion who was not interested in worldly affairs would actually understand this.
"I know that Yanyu Tower is in the name of the prince, so I can provide the prince with tea without raising the price. I guarantee that the prince will make a lot of money."
Shen Yunshu remembered that there was a war in his previous life, and Xiao Jingzhi sold all the money he got from selling the teahouse he owned and sent it to the army.
But no one in the court remembered his good deeds, but they still bothered him about buying a teahouse.
Xiao Jingzhi frowned slightly, wondering how Shen Yunshu knew this?
In addition, he was more curious about what Shen Yunshu wanted to do. After all, from a businessman's point of view, Shen Yunshu did not make much profit from this business.
"As Ms. Shen said, tea production has decreased. How can Ms. Shen ensure the supply?"
Chen Yunshu smiled lightly, "Your Highness, does he know why so many people in the court want to marry me?"
Then, she answered to herself: "Not all of them are interested in my beauty and the power of the general's palace. Some of them want the wealth behind my grandfather."
Although Imperial Physician Liu entered the imperial court as a doctor, his ancestral legacy was not easily wasted. More importantly, Imperial Physician Liu only had one daughter, the Liu family.
"For example, the dowry my grandfather gave my mother was just a tea house and a tea garden in the countryside. In fact, tea houses and tea gardens are spread all over the place, and their value is far beyond what everyone thinks."
"Why did you reveal this to me?" Xiao Jingzhi found that Shen Yunshu was getting more and more confused.
Shen Yunshu said calmly, "I said, I'm here to discuss business with the prince, how can I not be sincere?"
Xiao Jingzhi raised her lips, "But what if I don't agree?"
