The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

If anything went wrong in Prince Rui's Palace, she would probably be the first person to be liquidated.

Before Shui Zhizi could figure it out, the conversation at the dinner table had already begun.

"I wonder what the meaning of the gold pendant that Boss Shui gave to Qi Yu is?" The third princess Zheng Qian asked impatiently.

She had wanted to ask this question when she took that thing out of the water gardenia.

"To answer your question, Princess, ingots refer to wealth, Pixiu also means to bring in wealth and treasure, and it also means health and safety, steamed buns represent food, the sword is because the prince is the son of a military commander, and the rabbit..."

"The rabbit is because my zodiac sign is the rabbit, and the gardenia means I hope I will be safe and healthy, have a lot of money and not be hungry."

Before Shui Zhizi could finish speaking, Qi Yu interrupted excitedly.

Prince Rui looked at Shui Zhizi meaningfully.

No wonder Qi Yu wholeheartedly treated Shui Zhizi as a friend. She was indeed a caring person.

Among so many gifts today, only Shui Zhizi is a real gift for Qi Yu.

Of course, King Rui and Qi Yu both understood this matter, but it was not appropriate to say this in front of others.

"Then why is the food steamed buns instead of something else that tastes better?" In Zheng Qian's mind, steamed buns are the most tasteless food.

"Because Shui Zhizi said that having a hot steamed bun when people are hungry is the happiest thing in the world." Qi Yu answered again.

Shui Zhizi looked at Qi Yu in surprise. She didn't expect Qi Yu to take her words to heart.

It seems like it wouldn’t be bad to have a friend like Qi Yu, Shui Zhizi thought.

But this time Qi Yu was really wrong.

"Because steamed buns are the easiest to make, they require less effort, and the chefs who make them charge less."

Now everyone at the table laughed out loud, even Zheng Hong couldn't help laughing.

The Minister of Revenue listened to Prince Rui's hearty laughter and probably understood why Prince Rui valued a female businessman so much.

If it were someone else, they would definitely agree with what Prince Rui said.

Prince Rui looked so moved that he was about to cry. If Shui Zhizi continued to speak in the same way, she would definitely win the favor of Prince Rui.

But he chose to tell the truth, which is exactly the character that King Rui admired the most.

But in fact, it was because Shui Zhizi's experience at that time could not imagine that it was so profound.

She had been wandering since she could remember. She could not read a single word before being picked up by the Li family. Later, she learned a few words together with Li Chuan.

Later, I learned how to collect medicinal herbs on my own and continued to learn while doing business because I was afraid of being cheated.

It was not until she met her master Wu Kai that she learned a lot of medical knowledge from him.

Doing business is also a step-by-step struggle with thick skin and the spirit of not fearing failure. Although I am a bit smart, after all, experience is not enough.

This banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion was also the first banquet hosted by dignitaries in the capital that Shui Zhizi attended, so naturally there were some mistakes.

However, these less tactful aspects seem special in the eyes of a group of people who fight with each other all day long.

"Shui Zhizi, you're such a spoiler!" Qi Yu was really moved, but he couldn't even be moved anymore after hearing Shui Zhizi's truthful words.

Shui Zhizi also realized the problem when everyone laughed out loud.

After Qi Yu spoke, she hurriedly tried to make amends, "This gift from the prince is unique. The owner of the gold shop wanted the picture I drew, but I didn't give it to him."

"You have good sense."

"Dad, this gold is very valuable. Please thank Zhizi on my behalf."

"Of course. I will never treat Mr. Shui unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Rui had already spoken, so naturally the others at the table would not make things difficult for Shui Zhizi.

At this banquet, many gifts brought out by everyone were more valuable than Shui Zhizi's, but it was only Shui Zhizi's that Qi Yu treated differently.

It can only be said that this is the good fortune of Shui Zhizi, and it seems that Shui Zhizi's good fortune is more than that. Most people who noticed the situation at this table thought so.

When sitting together with several people of extraordinary status, you have to be extra careful with your words and actions, even though it is very tiring.

But when the party was over and Shui Zhizi was about to leave, no one looked at her with contempt anymore. At least on the surface.

Not to mention that the banquet was over and everyone else had left, but Shui Zhizi was asked to stay by King Rui himself.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Rui hadn't had any women around him for more than a decade since the death of his wife, and that Prince Rui's son Qi Yu was definitely not a man who could be devoted to a woman, other people would probably have looked at Shui Zhizi with other eyes a long time ago.

Of course, even if the relationship between Prince Rui, Prince Rui and Shui Zhizi is legitimate and there is nothing inappropriate about it, some people have already thought so.

After all, in their eyes, the most reliable way to completely conquer a capable woman is to marry her and make her theirs completely.

"Your Highness, are you in a good mood? Did the talk with Prince Rui go smoothly?" Li Chuan asked Zheng Hong, who had been in a good mood since he came out of Prince Rui's mansion.

Zheng Hong's face suddenly became serious. "No, at the dinner table, Prince Rui has been trying to make connections for Shui Zhizi. Most of the time, Prince Rui, Shui Zhizi and the two adults from the Ministry of Revenue talked about business matters."

Even Qi Yu was able to interject a few words, but he and his third sister, two members of the royal family, seemed out of place at the dinner table.

"This Boss Shui is highly regarded by King Rui."

“Yes.” He really values ​​him. Over the years, ever since Prince Rui came back to the capital from the battlefield, he has never been particularly close to anyone in the capital.

But Shui Zhizi could get King Rui to pave the way for her personally.

"Your Highness, do you think this Mr. Shui can be of use to us?" Li Chuan asked.

Li Chuan had been so distracted by Ying Wan'er today that he had no time to pay attention to the situation at other tables.

He didn't even dare look at any table with female relatives, for fear that Ying Wan'er would cause a scene in public.

Zheng Hong opened his mouth and shook his head for a long time.

"Why?" Could it be that Boss Shui is wholeheartedly following Prince Rui? But everyone knows that the prince will not allow Prince Rui to remain so powerful.

"Li Chuan, please be careful with your words when you go out."

"I made a mistake."

Zheng Hong didn't take this matter to heart, after all, this was in his carriage.

He just reminded Li Chuan like this because he didn't know how to answer Li Chuan's question.

With a stubborn personality like Shui Zhizi, she might not be willing to follow King Rui forever, but she might not be able to be used by him either.

Shui Zhizi didn't want to have anything to do with him, or rather, Shui Zhizi even hated him a little.

Although Zheng Hong didn't know why Shui Zhizi hated him, he should be a benefactor to Shui Zhizi who had lost her memory.

He saved Shui Zhizi from the fire and helped her bury her parents. Logically, Shui Zhizi should be grateful to him.

But it was obvious that Shui Zhizi just didn't like him, and Zheng Hong couldn't figure out the reason.

What Zheng Hong couldn't figure out even more was himself.
