Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

"First of all, I want to buy the kiln factory from you, Your Majesty. Can you please name a price?"

Nan Rongshen raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to make such a request.

"What if I don't sell it?"

"Then there's no need for us to talk anymore."

Meng Xiyue would not allow her core technology to be mastered by others, otherwise she would be controlled by others.

"But the kiln factory is mine, and the master is mine too. Now that you're gone, I can also produce glass myself."

Nan Rongshen smiled like a scoundrel, as if he was going to get rid of you if you don't stick to me.

Meng Xiyue was stunned, "The prince has signed the agreement."

Before making the glass, she signed an agreement with Nan Rongshen. If the deal failed, Nan Rongshen would not be allowed to produce glass privately, otherwise Meng Xiyue had the right to compensate him.

There was no patent protection in this era, so Meng Xiyue naturally had to find a way to protect her rights.

Nan Rongshen showed some sarcasm, "Agreement? What if I don't recognize it? Or I can get rid of Miss Meng. I don't know if Miss Meng has heard of my reputation. I have never been a trustworthy person."

"You..." Meng Xiyue felt a chill in her heart as she watched him behave like such a rogue. The reputation of the King of Zhennan was indeed not good, and he and Nan Rongzhi were in a hostile relationship.

He is greedy for money, so he might really want to kill someone just for the glass.

Meng Xiyue was thinking a lot. She only brought two maids here. Although one of the maids knew kung fu, she had no chance of winning against Nan Rongshen.

Watching the changes in her facial expression, Nan Rongshen curled the corners of his lips, wondering if she would be scared and cry, and beg for mercy.

But after a while, Meng Xiyue said, "I believe the prince will not go back on his word."

Now it was Nan Rongshen's turn to be stunned. His hand holding the cup trembled slightly. Everyone said that he was cunning, but this was the first person who said he believed him.

"We haven't even met a few times. How can you trust me so much?"

"Does Your Majesty believe in fate?"

"What?" Hearing the word fate, Nan Rongshen's hands tightened again. He quickly drank a sip of tea to hide his panic.

"The first time I met the prince, I felt that he was different from the rumors. He was a kind person at heart. I never thought that we were enemies. Even if we couldn't be close friends, I felt that the prince and I could be comrades in the business world."

Comrades? So this is their fate. Nan Rongshen smiled bitterly. He was already so old, but he was actually provoked by the words of a little girl.

He took a deep breath, then raised his eyes and returned to his usual indifference.

"Miss Meng is really naive. The word kindness and goodness are very different from mine. Besides, we will never be friends. We are only related by interests. If you cannot bring benefits to me, there is no need to keep you."

Meng Xiyue did not take his words to heart. She knew that Prince Zhennan was a man with a hard mouth but a soft heart. Unlike Xie Junyi, he was cold-hearted.

Why did she think of him again? Meng Xiyue's heart ached suddenly and she shook her head quickly, trying to get him out of her mind.

"What happened to Miss Meng?"

Seeing her sudden change of expression, Prince Zhennan thought that she was frightened by his words.

I thought that no matter how powerful she was, she was just a half-grown girl after all. She left her hometown and came here, so she was only strong on the surface.

Thinking of this, his heart softened a bit, "I can give you the kiln factory, but I don't want money, I want a share of the profits."

Silver is just a fixed number, he doesn't need it. What he needs is a steady supply of silver.

Seeing that he finally gave in, Meng Xiyue happily grabbed his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The moment he touched that softness, Prince Zhennan's whole body stiffened, his face instantly turned red, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

He started to scold.

"Miss Meng, please follow the rules."

Meng Xiyue then remembered that this happened in ancient times. She was so excited that she forgot about the differences between men and women.

But when she thought about it, she just touched his hand and didn't do anything excessive. The Prince of Zhennan's reaction was too intense.

Looking up, she saw his flushed face again, and then she remembered that Prince Zhennan did not like women, he liked Bai Yi.

I didn't expect that he was so innocent and wanted to remain chaste for Bai Yi.

Thinking of this, she spoke to comfort him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice it, but don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't tell Bai Yi."

"Bai Yi? What does this have to do with him?" Prince Zhennan was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant by suddenly mentioning Bai Yi.

Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind: could it be that she likes Bai Yi?

Thinking about how they had traveled all the way from Yuanqing Kingdom back to Nanrong, how they had studied skin care products together, and that Bai Yi, such a weird person, was especially good to Meng Xiyue.

It turns out that these two people are...

The Prince of Zhennan, who felt that he had known the truth, coughed lightly and said, "If I knew, I would also say something nonsense in front of Bai Yi."

The two people with wild imaginations didn't notice at all that their conversation was not on the same channel at all.

They both thought they understood each other's meaning and were considerate enough to keep the other party's secret.

"Then let's get on with the business."

Meng Xiyue continued.

"If the prince gives me this kiln factory, then I will give you an extra 10% of the profits. I will take 70% and the prince will take 30%. The prince's main job is still to protect the glass, and it cannot be taken away by someone with ulterior motives."

"If there is anything else you need from me in the future, we will calculate the price separately."

Prince Zhennan nodded, but Boli disagreed with the other two shops. Even if those two shops made more money, they would not be noticed by others and there would be no problem with safety.

But glass is different, it will definitely attract the attention of those literati families.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I will send people to protect the kiln factory and the transportation of glass. You need to pay them silver every month. If someone sacrifices for the glass, you will also need to pay silver as compensation."

Although protection is within the scope of his duties, when it comes to dangerous matters, he always strives to obtain the greatest benefit for his people.

"No problem. I will cover all the expenses of these people."

Meng Xiyue didn't care about these minor problems at all. Besides, when these glasses were related to them, they would pay more attention to the protection work.

This is not a bad thing for her.

After signing the contract, Meng Xiyue drew a lot of drawings and gave them to the master to make them.

"For now, we will use the glass as containers for the dessert shop. After some time, we will open a shop that specializes in selling glass."

Everything needs to be done step by step, steadily and cautiously. Glass can make money, but you can't be too hasty.

The Prince of Zhennan naturally understood, "I will only take the share, and you can worry about the rest yourself."
