Hearing the prince ask this, Li Yu knew that he was interested in his plan.

This is expected, and other people would also be interested in it.

She has confidence in herself.

As for the issue of the crown prince, Li Yu did not intend to fool him with any high-sounding words.

In fact, the prince can only be truly at ease if she has a purpose and needs.

If she wants nothing, has no desires, or asks for very little, the prince will instead suspect that she has some conspiracy.

Having already rehearsed what he wanted to say in his mind, Li Yu stood up and bowed to the prince without any hurry.

"I want to help His Royal Highness with business. First, because His Royal Highness is wise, and once you become the emperor in the future, it will be a blessing for us people. Second, because I have conflicts with the Princess of Hui and the officials under the King of Hui, and I want to save my life. Third, ..."

"What is three?"

Li Yu lowered her eyes and said, "Third, if I help you a lot in the future, I want to have a title. A title that has no real power, but will allow me to live a peaceful and smooth life!"

Every word is powerful!

The prince fell silent.

The Crown Princess didn't expect Li Yu to say this and looked at her in surprise.

Princess Jianing was not that surprised. Li Yu acted boldly, and it was not scary for him to want a title.

Besides, if Li Yu could really help the prince get a large amount of silver, her request would not be high at all.

When Emperor Taizu was fighting for his empire, a wealthy businessman named Kou gave him more than one million taels of silver.

Because of this, after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he gave this man surnamed Kou the title of Marquis. It was not until the end of Emperor Taizu's reign that the Kou family became really outrageous, and their descendants bullied men and women and committed all kinds of evil. Emperor Taizu took back their titles, but considering that the more than one million taels of silver played a huge role in the war, he spared their family the death penalty.

If not for this, the capital would have one more marquis.

Compared with the guy named Kou, Li Yu doesn't want much. She doesn't want real power, just a title is good enough.

The prince also thought of this, and like Princess Jianing, he felt that Li Yu's request was reasonable. Even if Li Yu didn't mention it, if she helped a lot, he would reward her when he succeeded to the throne in the future.

I just didn't expect her to say it directly.

But it’s okay. He dared to use her because she had demands and ambitions.

only......

The prince said, "Han Zhuangyuan is now serving in the Hanlin Academy. Don't you want to ask for anything for him?"

Li Yu: "Your Highness, you are a person who loves talents. If he does well, you will promote him. If he does not do well, what is the point of promoting him? Rather than letting him make mistakes in an inappropriate position, it is better to let him stay in the position where he should be and do the right thing.

However, the political situation is turbulent and Han Zheng is weak. I secretly hope that when Han Zheng encounters trouble, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can send someone to secretly help him. I just want him to be safe. "

The prince stared at her for a moment and said, "I agree to your request. As long as you can help me a lot, I will give you a title when the matter is accomplished in the future.

As for what you wrote on the paper, I will arrange for someone to do it. But you are Jianing's friend, and Jianing is a lazy person. If you suddenly open so many stores, it is inevitable that King Hui will think of me.

So from now on you should manage these stores in secret and stay out of the spotlight."

Li Yu thought exactly the same and agreed readily.

Time was running out, so Li Yu and the prince stopped talking about irrelevant things and focused on talking about business.

The food Li Yu wrote about was basically modern, and she was the only one who could make it in the Dayu Dynasty, so the prince had to do three things right now. First, send someone to select a location, decorate, and make custom items to prepare for the store. Second, select a suitable chef to learn how to cook from her. Third, find someone who is good at accounting and understands ingredients to go out and find ingredients. Since he is doing a food business, he needs a stable supplier.

Finally, Li Yu added: "There is no room in my house, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to prepare a farm to bring all those people there so that I can teach them."

Prince: "I will have it done as soon as possible."

By this time, an hour had passed. Li Yu and Princess Jianing could not stay any longer. If they stayed too long, they would easily become suspicious.

So the Crown Prince left, and the Crown Princess's personal maid came in and brought fresh chicken blood. Then Princess Jianing smashed the teacup and yelled loudly, while the Crown Princess smeared the chicken blood and pretended to vomit blood.

In the end, Princess Jianing and Li Yu were pushed out of the Eastern Palace.

"How dare you treat me like this? You... I'm going to go back and tell my father!" Princess Jianing was furious as planned, pointing at Nanny Shi and saying, "When she first married into the East Palace, she said she would treat me as her own sister. Now it seems that it was all my wishful thinking! She doesn't deserve me to be so nice to her!"

She seemed extremely angry and spoke without thinking, even saying that she would tell Uncle Huang about what happened today.

Nanny Shi tried to persuade her for a while, but seeing that it didn't work, she ignored her and turned away with the palace maids.

Before leaving, she asked Princess Jianing to be aware of her identity, saying that everything in the Eastern Palace was the prince's territory.

Princess Jianing was so angry that her face turned red and she stomped her feet.

Then he left the palace muttering unhappily.

Whenever she entered the East Palace in the past, she was always smiling, but this time it was too abnormal and the news spread to every corner of the palace in less than two quarters of an hour.

The performances of the people were different.

Emperor Tianyuan said it was nonsense. Concubine Shu, who had a bad relationship with Princess Jianing, laughed so hard that she drank half a bowl of bird's nest.

Only the Queen sighed as she anxiously looked at the Crown Princess who was vomiting blood. Anyone who saw her would have felt that she was worried.

Prince Hui's Palace.

When the news from the palace reached the palace, Princess Hui was strolling in the garden with the palace's concubines and other concubines.

Princess Hui did not like those who stole the king's favor, but since the king liked everyone to live in harmony, she pretended to be tolerant and generous.

However, she was only kind and generous when King Hui was in the palace. When King Hui was not in the palace, she kept looking for ways to deal with the women in King Hui's backyard.

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family, who had planned to marry King Hui as a concubine in the palace, heard the news and said softly, "I feel it's a little strange. Princess Jianing has been different in the past two years. This is not like her style."

Princess Hui has never liked Miss Xiao, and immediately retorted after hearing this: "I don't think it's a show, Jianing has always been like this. A few years ago, Jianing and Miss Xie were like sisters, but later they broke up, and every time Jianing saw Miss Xie, she would mock her."

Before entering the palace, the concubine of Prince Hui was also a noble lady. She knew about the relationship between Princess Jianing and Xie Youlan. Upon hearing this, she immediately responded, "Princess, you are right. Princess Jianing is fine today. Sister Xiao, I know you have a lot on your mind, but don't think too much."

Miss Xiao: “…”

Li Yu returned home and sat in a chair for a long time without saying a word.

When Han Zheng came back in the evening, she called him over and told him what happened today.

After listening to this, Han Zheng said, "I don't think the prince necessarily trusts his second sister-in-law completely."
