Chapter 1427: Sky-high Price Kite

"…It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Big brother, why can't he study hard at such a young age? Why does he always cause trouble?"

If he didn’t cause any trouble, he wouldn’t be Cheng Youning.

Everyone has seen that Cheng Youning studies hard in Ningxin Palace every day. He also practices martial arts diligently and has not slacked off. Instead, he is working harder. He is also respectful and filial to his elders and there is nothing wrong with him. Why does Ge Dongqing say this!

"Brother, what the hell did You Ning do?"

"Brother, the prince didn't do anything against the will of heaven, but he has corrupted the morals of the royal family!"

The royal dignity and the god-like image were all earned with great pains. How could someone actually destroy the reputation of the royal family? How outrageous!

"Tell me! What's going on!"

"Brother, I told you not to tell the prince that it was me who reported him."

"Don't worry. When has Big Brother ever betrayed you? Big Brother will take care of everything for you. Just speak up boldly and tell me everything you know. I want to see what this Youning has done behind my back!"

"Brother, the prince got a kite with a lantern from somewhere, and it lights up the sky above the prince's mansion day and night, attracting countless people in the city to follow suit."

"That thing isn't sold in the market!" Wan Lianxing was quite confident in the unique kite he made. Except for him, no one would have thought of hanging lanterns on the kite. It looked simple, but it was not easy to operate.

"Brother, I don't know who invented that thing, and it's not sold on the street. But recently, many lighted kites have appeared in the night sky of our imperial city. It's even more lively outside Nanguo City, with people singing and dancing all night long."

"Oh? So there's nothing wrong with flying kites. Now that the curfew has been lifted in my camp, people can fly kites at any time of the day. It can be considered a form of entertainment. I think it's great. I also liked flying kites when I was young."

Wan Lianxing said half of what he meant and kept the other half. He didn't want to say in front of Ge Dongqing: You should go outside the city to fly a kite too, so that you don't always think about Fuliu in Jiaomanlou.

This was the first time Wan Lianxing heard the rumor about the kite. As for the story of Ge Dongqing and Fu Liu, he had been told about it recently, but he just turned a blind eye.

Ever since Ge Dongqing cried and howled to atone for his sins last time, this man has only been well behaved for half a month. Recently, he seems to have had a relapse and has been running to Jiaomanlou every few days. Wan Lianxing really doesn't hope that this trend of visiting prostitutes and visiting brothels was started by Ge Dongqing.

Wan Lianxing couldn't understand how flying a kite could bring disgrace to the royal family. Kite flying was very popular and everyone liked to fly them, especially around the Qingming Festival every year when everyone would go to the wild to fly kites. Kites also became a scene of begging and a regular guest in the sky.

"Brother, do you know where everyone bought these kites from?"

"Shouldn't it be on the street? I heard there are a lot of people selling kites on the street, a lot of them, whatever you want they have."

"If you bought them on the street, I won't mention it. In fact, these kites all came from the Prince's Mansion!"

"Is this kid Youning starting a business again?"

When Wan Lianxing heard that Cheng Youning had returned to his old business selling things, he was not that shocked. After all, this was the bloodline of their Wan family, and he had a business mind since he was a child. He just didn't know how this kid came up with the idea of ​​selling kites.

"Not only that, the prince is doing even bigger business this time!"

Wan Lianxing didn't take Cheng Youning's kite-selling business seriously at all. "Hahahaha, you are not kidding me, are you? Selling kites is considered a big business! If you say so, let's all go sell kites!"

"Brother, do you know how much the prince's kite sells for?"

"How much is the kite worth? Could it be that Youning sold it for a sky-high price?"

"Brother is right. If I want to buy a kite from the Crown Prince's Mansion, I'll have to pay at least one thousand taels!"

Wan Lianxing stopped smiling, and then he realized that he had oversimplified the matter. The child's greed for money had come back.

"Spending one thousand taels to buy a kite at the Prince's Mansion? You must be crazy! How could someone be so gullible as to be taken advantage of?"

"Brother, even now there are people who are willing to pay 5,000 taels and still need to line up. The rich and powerful are flocking to the kites from the Prince's Mansion, and they are hard to come by at a high price."

Wan Lianxing's eyes lit up, "Can this thing be sold for five thousand taels?" After he finished speaking, Wan Lianxing felt that he had never seen the world.

"Brother, it's more than five thousand taels. There are people who offer ten thousand taels. It's just that they can't buy it. Recently, I heard that there are no less than a hundred people queuing up to get the number plate at the Prince's Mansion!"

"Hundreds of people lined up just to buy kites at high prices? When did Fengying become so rich?"

"Brother, there are plenty of wealthy businessmen in the city, and many ministers have come to visit. Who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to curry favor with the prince?"

"The prince is only nine years old. His wings are not yet strong enough, but everyone is already trying to curry favor with him!" Wan Lianxing shook his head helplessly. This has been the case in all dynasties. It has only been a few years since Fengqi established its country, but everyone has started to think of shortcuts to promotion. They have all set their sights on the nine-year-old prince. This unhealthy trend must be put an end to.

"Brother, do you know under whose banner the prince is selling kites?"

"It can't be mine!"

"You guessed it right. The prince is using my eldest brother's name. He announced to the public that the kite was made by the emperor. Now many dignitaries think that you are making kites for everyone day and night!"

"Nonsense! Ridiculous! How can I have the time to make kites to sell!" Wan Lianxing was regretting his decision so much that his intestines turned green. He shouldn't have spoiled Cheng Youning and made a kite for him. This child was only fit to fly a kite with hanging arms.

"Brother, haven't you figured it out yet? Everyone is just taking the opportunity to send money to the Prince's Mansion. They know this is the Prince's scam, but they are willing to join in. As long as the kite has a price, someone will take it all. Some people will even drive up the price to please the Prince. They are willing to send money to the Prince's Mansion to please the Prince. Who doesn't want to climb up? Who doesn't want to get a job? Look at those wealthy businessmen, who doesn't want to curry favor with the princes and ministers? With the prince's big ship, who would miss such an opportunity? Although the prince is young and the prince's seal has been taken away, it is only a matter of time before the prince takes power. Who doesn't want to spend money to curry favor with him at this time!"

How could Wan Lianxing not understand these things! Ge Dongqing could still keep his composure if he didn't analyze it, but after this analysis, he couldn't sit still anymore, and stood up in a flash, "Asshole, how could the Wan family raise such a rebellious son! Dongqing, you come with me to the Prince's Mansion, I will never let this asshole off easily."
