From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 231 Professional Salesman

"Dean! Come on, come on, let's go sell some things!" After returning to Tiandou City, Leng Xiyao couldn't wait to change into a more formal outfit and went to the Terran Chamber of Commerce to find Flanders.

"Xiyao, you are dressed so formally. Who are you going to sell to?" It had been a few days since they last saw each other, but Flanders didn't find it strange. Instead, he was a little uncomfortable with the other person's gorgeous attire. In his mind, even when Leng Xiyao was sitting next to the emperor, she didn't dress so gorgeously.

At this moment, Leng Xiyao was wearing a long dress with a white base and gold edges, just like a noble lady in the palace. She was wearing a pair of crystal high heels and a sun hat. Her whole outfit revealed the sour smell of money.

Based on Flanders' understanding of Leng Xiyao, she hated this kind of outfit the most. But she was dressed like this today and no one knew who she was going to meet.
"Let's go to the palace. I have something to sell to His Majesty. He happened to not go to the game today, so it would be a good idea for us to go to the palace to have an audience with him." Leng Xiyao never does anything without a plan. She had already made a clear plan before coming.

"Oh, to find the emperor." Flanders nodded, then suddenly realized something and opened his eyes wide: "What? You want to find the emperor?"

As a former ordinary person, Flanders is not as broad-minded as Leng Xiyao. He is still very respectful to the emperor.

Leng Xiyao shrugged: "What's wrong? Don't you dare to go? Then I'll go by myself."

"What's there to be afraid of? But, have you made an appointment in advance?" Flanders was still a little scared, but Leng Xiyao had already invited him, so it would seem a bit too cowardly for him to refuse.

"No." Leng Xiyao said very frankly: "Wouldn't it seem like we have no face at all if we make an appointment in advance? We want to create a feeling that it's up to you to buy it or not, and if you don't buy it, we'll buy it for Xing Luo instead."

Flanders didn't quite understand Leng Xiyao's words. In his opinion, as long as there was money to be made, what did face matter? Wasn't the president of the Sun and Moon Chamber of Commerce, who was known as the most high-profile in the world, still promoting his own soul guides everywhere?
"But if you don't make an appointment, the emperor will meet you." As he spoke, Flanders remembered Leng Xiyao's background, so he stopped talking.

Both of them were men of action, and they agreed that there was nothing much to prepare for meeting the Emperor, so they found two horses and rode to the palace together.

The area of ​​the imperial palace in Tiandou City is not very large, roughly equivalent to the area of ​​a residential area in the previous life. After all, the Tiandou Empire is not like the ancient emperors in the previous life who had three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. In order to avoid instability caused by too many offspring, the emperors of Tiandou in all dynasties would try their best to control the number of their wives to less than five.

Since there are not many masters, there is naturally a need for too many servants. Therefore, there are actually very few people living in the palace, and there is no need for a particularly large space. Although the building complex looks quite majestic as a whole, Leng Xiyao always feels that something is missing.

The headquarters of the Terran Chamber of Commerce is not far from the palace and can be reached in a few minutes by horseback ride.

At the gate of the palace, several teams of majestic-looking royal guards were patrolling back and forth. There was also a place similar to a concierge set up at the gate, which seemed to be specifically for receiving visitors.

There seemed to be quite a few people who wanted to visit the emperor. There were at least three people queuing in front of them, and judging by their clothes, they seemed to be from other kingdoms.

In the room at the entrance, a young receptionist was registering the visitors' information.

The receptionist was very quick and before long, the people in front of him left with a small note.

Seeing this, Leng Xiyao stepped forward and said, "Hello, we want to meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Hearing Leng Xiyao's words, the receptionist asked without even raising his head: "What's the matter?"

Leng Xiyao was a little annoyed by the receptionist's attitude, but she still said with a smile: "Our Chamber of Commerce has produced some weapons, I think Your Majesty will be interested."

Hearing Leng Xiyao's words, the receptionist looked up at her and said with a fake smile: "The empire is not at war now, what do you need weapons for? And you should go to the relevant ministers for such matters. Do you really think that Your Majesty is idle every day and has nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao frowned and said, "Haven't you heard the truth that one is born in adversity and dies in comfort? And this kind of decision is not yours to make. All you have to do is report it. Do you understand?"

Hearing Leng Xiyao's unquestionable tone, the receptionist also knew that this was a person who could not be provoked, so he told the truth: "Your Majesty went out of the city today to sympathize with the people and is not in the palace. Can you come back later?"

"Ah, this." Leng Xiyao didn't expect to get such an answer.

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. Dean, let's go." After saying that, Leng Xiyao turned around and prepared to go back to the academy with Flanders.

She had only taken two steps when a clear and pleasant voice called her:

"Miss Leng, wait a minute!"

Leng Xiyao looked back and was stunned. The person who came was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. Although her appearance was not stunningly beautiful, she was also the type that was very pleasing to the eye. The way she was dressed also gave her the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

"Sister, do you know me?" Leng Xiyao asked curiously.

"I've only heard of your name before, but now that I see you today, don't I know you?" The woman chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

"My name is Xue Ningzhu. If you don't mind, I hope you two will come into the palace and sit for a while to taste the new tea that was just served this year."

When Leng Xiyao heard the other person's name, she immediately thought of something, and quickly turned around and shook her hand, saying cordially: "Ah, hello, Sister Xue, it just so happens that I have nothing to do right now. It would be a pleasure to have afternoon tea together on such a beautiful day."

Then, Leng Xiyao looked at Flanders again: "Since the plan has changed, then Dean, why don't you go back first?"

Flanders:
My goodness, I’m just a tool, right?
But after thinking about it carefully, it was not a good idea for an old man like me to participate in the afternoon tea of ​​two little girls, so he said, "Okay, Xiyao, have fun."

After saying that, Flanders left.

Seeing Flanders leave, Xue Ningzhu made a gesture of invitation and said, "Sister, please follow me."

Leng Xiyao nodded, and walked into the palace with Xue Ningzhu.

She didn't want to come at first, but thinking that if she stayed in the palace for a while longer, she might be able to wait for Emperor Xue Ye to come back, she agreed to the other party's proposal.

The two girls talked and laughed along the way. Leng Xiyao also learned that the other party was the second daughter of Emperor Xue Ye. However, she didn't know whether today's meeting was a coincidence or the other party had planned it. However, she felt that it might be the latter.
