Chapter 90 Taking the bait

Glancing at Liu Bai, Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"What are you doing here?"

Ba Qing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Little girl Ba Qing, please see Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever!"

"rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After standing up, Ba Qing still lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, my daughter is here to help Cao Shen and others escort the snow salt."

Ying Zheng did not comment on his words.

Although the person standing in front of him was only a woman, she always put the interests of the Ba family first.

To protect Xue Yan? That's all. There must be other purposes for coming here.

Ying Yinman felt a little worried when she saw her father's uneasy expression.

Yesterday night, her husband told her his plan, but she couldn't let her father scare people away again, not to mention that she also wanted to learn how to do business from Ba Qing.

Turning his eyes slightly, he ran to Ba Qing and took her hand.

"Father, this is Sister Ba Qing from Ba County. She has taught me a lot about business in the past two days. Let's go have a meal first!"

Ying Zheng looked at his daughter, then at Ba Qing, hummed softly and walked to the next door.

The others followed him, and Liu Bai naturally became the cook again.

After he used the nutrient solution, the peppers had matured, and this time there was no need for the extremely expensive peppers.

Ying Yinman took Ba Qing and sat in the pavilion with Ying Zheng and others.

During this period, Ba Qing kept his head down and sat quietly.

Feeling Ying Zheng's gaze, she felt a little restless.

Liu Bai was not here, so Ying Zheng had no scruples in speaking and said coldly.

"I don't care what the purpose of your coming is, but it's best not to have any ideas of being a prince-in-law, otherwise..."

Only then did Ba Qing understand why His Majesty was so hostile to him this time.

You should know that the Ba family not only provided cinnabar to the royal family, they also provided financial support for the Great Wall that is currently being built.

In the past when he came to the imperial capital, although Ying Zheng was also stern, he had never been so strict.

And this time...

After glancing at Ying Yinman, Ba Qing understood the whole story and broke away from her hand and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty clearly understands that my daughter only wants to do business with the prince-in-law this time and has no other ulterior motives. What's more, my daughter has also sworn that she will never marry anyone again in this life..."

"rise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Ying Zheng's expression softened, Ba Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Listening to her father's words, Ying Yinman felt a little more moved.

I thought that my father didn't like Ba Qing, so he targeted her.

It turns out that it was for myself...

Hugging Ying Zheng's arm, Ying Yinman's eyes were slightly red.

"Father, Sister Qing will not have any thoughts about her husband. Besides, according to the rules of our royal family, a prince-in-law cannot take a concubine. Have you forgotten?"

Although he said so, his actions clearly showed his dependence on his father.

Feeling the closeness between his daughter and him, in a daze, Ying Zheng seemed to have returned to the time when he was a child and in the Kingdom of Zhao with his parents.

At that time, he was also loved by his parents!

Although the family was occasionally bullied because of the power of Qin, it was one of the few happy times he had.

Since my father returned to China, those days have gone forever...

At this moment, Liu Bai came over carrying dishes.

"Father, the potato stewed chicken and potato shreds you like, the rest will be ready soon."

After putting down the dishes, Liu Bai turned around and went to the kitchen again.

Wang Jian and Li Si looked at each other, and their mouths began to secrete saliva uncontrollably.

After a while, the two of them couldn't stand it anymore and went into the kitchen one after another on the pretext of helping the prince-in-law.

Seeing them coming, Liu Bai was not polite and directly summoned them.

"Old General, pass me that chili..."

"Prime Minister, hurry up, hurry up, meat, give me meat..."

Under his urging, the two important court officials hurriedly took what he wanted.

Because he never went to the kitchen, he always picked up the wrong ones, which aroused Liu Bai's disgust.

"Such a big man can't even tell the difference between beef and mutton. How can you be the prime minister?"

Li Si looked at him silently.

What does this have to do with being the prime minister? The prime minister doesn’t have to cook!

"And you, old general, at such an old age, you can even pick up the wrong peppers. How do you want me to say hello to you?"

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment after being told this.

chili?

Isn't this something new you made?

I've never even met him, how could I possibly know him?

In this way, amidst the noise, several other dishes were finally prepared.

The three of them put all the dishes and rice on the table and then sat down.

But looking at Wang Jian and Li Si's expressions, they don't look very natural.

After Ying Zheng moved his chopsticks, the two of them seemed to be venting their anger, chewing the food in their mouths.

With Ying Zheng here, Ba Qing didn't dare to make excuses, so he stretched out his hand and took off the veil.

Ying Yinman looked at her in shock and didn't even eat.

"Sister Qing, you are too beautiful!"

Ba Qing smiled slightly and nodded to thank her for her appreciation.

Hearing his wife's voice, Liu Bai raised his head and glanced at Ba Qing.

With slightly thick red lips, a straight bridge of nose, and her slightly upturned eyes, coupled with the red skirt she wore today, she looks charming, sexy and hot.

However, he still prefers the gentle type like Ying Yinman.

So I just glanced at it with appreciation, then lowered my head and continued eating.

Ying Zheng had already seen her appearance, so naturally he wouldn't have much reaction.

But seeing the consort's reaction, I felt a little more relieved.

Li Si and Wang Jian, as ministers, naturally would not comment too much on a woman's appearance.

But Ba Qing, who was in the center of everyone's attention, looked very unnatural.

I wanted to praise Liu Baifan for doing a good job, but I was afraid that Ying Zheng would misunderstand.

She wanted to discuss business, but she didn't dare to speak in front of His Majesty.

I can only hold the vegetables silently and chew them silently.

After dinner, after a short rest, Ying Zheng got up and returned to the palace.

Ba Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed visibly.

He called Liu Bai and his wife who were about to leave, saluted and asked.

"Consort, princess, can I have a chat with you two?"

Liu Bai nodded, and Ying Yinman ran over and took her hand, leading her back to the small courtyard where the two of them lived.

The three of them sat around the stone table and drank tea, and the courtyard was quiet.

After a while, Ba Qing couldn't hold his breath and spoke.

"Husband-in-law, I wonder if your business of paper, tea, etc., has any idea of ​​developing outside Xianyang?"

Liu Bai knew in his heart that she had taken the bait, so he didn't beat around the bush and nodded directly to admit it.

Ba Qing smiled slightly and said.

"The consort's business seems small now, but he has already been involved in many industries. If the money cannot be circulated, the little girl can help."

Liu Bai took a sip of tea and stared at the tea leaves in the cup and asked.

"According to the girl's wish, you want to do business with me?"

Waving his hands, Ba Qing sighed secretly.

"I don't want to be a partner, but I can only help."

The royal business, no matter how much money she gets, is not worthy of the title of partnership!

But she didn't expect that Liu Bai would actually refuse after hearing this.

"Girl, what I need now is just a partner, I don't need help from others. If there is nothing else, please do as you please!"

In one sentence, Ba Qing was stunned.

She has been in business for many years and has dealt with many officials. Which one of them only wants dividends but not money?

Now Liu Bai's partner has completely confused her.

If you agree, how much will the Ba family have to pay?
