I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"Sir, this is the money Huang Zhenbang sent, a total of 1,300 taels, and some precious jewels."

Master Guo pointed to the treasure chest in the room and said.

"understood."

Jiang Zuo stepped forward and opened it.

This shiny silver is really attractive.

"If I had known this guy was so rich, I should have asked for more."

"Sir, why did this Huang family member suddenly come to give money? Do they have any requests?" Master Guo expressed his confusion.

There are at least dozens of young men who come to give money to the master, and the master is no longer surprised by them.

"Nothing, that kid got into trouble, I just want to teach him a little lesson."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

"That's not right. It seems these things were not originally for me." Jiang Zuo suddenly thought of this.

The one thousand taels and the jewelry are intended as an apology to Miss Chen.

Ok……

Looking at the gold, silver and treasures, Jiang Zuo was moved.

"Master, does Curry have some perfume, jewelry, women's clothes or something like that?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"Sir, there are still a lot of curries." said Master Guo.

"Come on, I'll pick some to give away."

……

Inn.

"Miss, it's a servant."

Qiuyue knocked on the door.

"come in."

Chen Qingyun was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair.

"Miss, Jiang Zuo is asking to see you downstairs." Qiuyue said.

"Jiang Zuo? What is he doing here?" Chen Qingyun was puzzled, but she didn't want to rush to see Jiang Zuo, so she ordered: "Tell him that I'm not here. If there is anything, let him tell you."

"Yes, ma'am."

At this time, on the first floor of the inn, Jiang Zuo was holding an exquisite iron box containing some valuable things, which he was going to give to Chen Qingyun.

He has to deliver it to the other party personally to show his sincerity.

After a while, Qiuyue walked downstairs and said, "Master Jiang, my young lady is not here. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I will tell her."

"No."

Jiang Zuo suddenly felt disappointed.

This Miss Chen from Guanzhong is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Jiang Zuo smiled slightly, handed over the iron box, and said, "This is the apology I prepared. I am very sorry for scaring you two not long ago. Please accept this gift."

"Thank you, sir." Qiuyue reached out to take it.

"Then I'll leave first. By the way, if Miss Chen likes the things in here, I have a lot more. You can come to me anytime..."

Jiang Zuo turned and left.

"Okay, sir, take care."

After seeing Jiang Zuo leave, Qiuyue slowly walked upstairs, opened the iron box, and carefully checked the contents inside to make sure there was no danger before handing it over to His Majesty.

"Is this for me?"

Chen Qingyun stared at the gadget in the iron box and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Although Jiang Zuo has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and is a handsome man, one should not judge a book by its cover.

This guy definitely has some purpose!

But what exactly is inside this?

Chen Qingyun reached out and took out something. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a crystal clear gem.

But this treasure is not as good as Chen Qingyun's eyes. In the palace, there are at least hundreds of these treasures, if not a thousand, and they are not rare at all.

Chen Qingyun put down the pearl and picked up another one.

When I turned it over, I saw that it was a round mirror the size of a palm.

Most of the mirrors used in the palace were bronze mirrors, but the mirror in Chen Qingyun's hand was clearer than any other bronze mirror.

Chen Qingyun's delicate face was clearly visible in the mirror.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Jiangzuo had presented these little gadgets to the court before, but Chen Qingyun was busy with government affairs at that time, so he just glanced at them casually and didn't pay much attention to them.

Now that Jiang Zuo presented these gifts again, it inevitably aroused Chen Qingyun's interest again.

Want to please me with these luxurious things?

Haha, you think I am someone important, and you think you can impress me with such a small thing? You are wishful thinking.

"After a while, return all these things." Chen Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then gave the order.

Chen Qingyun is not willing to accept Jiang Zuo's kindness.

"But Miss, don't you think these little gadgets are very rare? Why don't you keep them as a souvenir of this trip?" Qiuyue asked.

As the senior palace maid who had accompanied Chen Qingyun for many years, she was the only one who could communicate with Chen Qingyun in this way.

"Send them all back. I'm here to settle accounts and conduct a thorough investigation of Jiangzuo. How can I accept his gift now?" Chen Qingyun said with certainty. Then, he picked up a small bottle in the iron box and looked at it carefully, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Okay, I'll send it back to him now." Qiuyue nodded.

"Wait..." Chen Qingyun suddenly closed his eyes and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a nice smell!"

She picked up the small bottle again, took a light sniff, and immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

"What is this?"

Chen Qingyun suddenly felt curious.

"Your Majesty, it says...Chanel." Qiuyue looked at the small bottle and asked in confusion, "It seems to be a small toy that Jiangzuo had previously offered as tribute."

Chen Qingyun had a vague impression, but the taste of this bottle of stuff at this moment was particularly different.

This fragrance was better than any other incense in the palace. It had a subtle aroma that was not pungent at all. When she smelled it carefully, it seemed to wash away all her fatigue.

This is fun.

As the king of a country, Chen Qingyun has to deal with a lot of government affairs every day. He is already physically tired, and does not have enough rest time every day, so he often feels exhausted.

Now, this little bottle in front of her can make her forget all her fatigue.

It’s amazing…

"Hmm... Let's leave this for now."

Chen Qingyun whispered.

Since Jiang Zuo wanted to give it to her sincerely, she would accept it reluctantly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Is this the only small bottle?"

Chen Qingyun searched but did not find the second bottle.

"Miss, Jiang Zuo said that if you like it, you can ask him for some." Qiuyue replied.

"Ask him?"

Chen Qingyun was conflicted.

I am the king of a country, and I whispered to a small county magistrate asking for these luxurious things. How can I do that?

However, if Jiangzuo is determined to send it, I will not stop him.

"Qiuyue, tell Jiang Zuo that I want to see some more of this fragrance." Chen Qingyun said lightly.

Qiuyue has followed the empress for so many years, she must understand what she is thinking.

"Okay, I'll go find him now." Qiuyue said.

"Remember, I just want to take a look. I'm not interested in his little gadgets." Chen Qingyun explained reluctantly.

"The servant knows."

Qiuyue turned and left.

But in less than a moment, Qiuyue returned to the inn.

"Where are the things?" Chen Qingyun asked puzzledly.

"Miss, Jiang Zuo said... you have to pay money before you can see the goods." Qiuyue said helplessly.

"Silver? How much silver?" Chen Qingyun was displeased.

"He said, fifty taels a bottle..."

Chen Qingyun couldn't help but frowned: "This Jiang Zuo, what else does he care about besides money?"

Chen Qingyun immediately had the idea of ​​confiscating the property in Jiangzuo.

This guy makes a lot of money every day, so he must be very wealthy!

It seems that one million is not enough, it should be two million!
