Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 244 No Chance to Compete

Prince Zhennan looked at the pile of account books in front of him, his face darkened, and he spoke in a cold and hard voice.

"This king does not need these."

"I know you don't need it, but I asked you to help me. From now on, you will take the majority of these businesses, and I will take the smaller share. How do you think that works?"

Meng Xiyue asked cautiously. She didn’t know that what she said was wrong and made him so unhappy.

"I have a share of the profits, so I will just take 10% of the profits."

The Prince of Zhennan still had a cold attitude, "In the past, I did business for the development of Nanrong Country, not for money."

"Uh..." Meng Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "Your Highness will naturally not covet money. I know that everything you do is for the people of Nanrong Country, otherwise you would not help me."

"It's just that I have to leave and have no time to take care of these businesses. I am also worried about other people, so I want to ask the prince for help. If the prince is unwilling, then forget it?"

"I didn't say I didn't want to." Seeing that she was about to take the account book, Prince Zhennan stretched out his hand to hold it back. He covered his lips and coughed lightly, then asked with an unnatural look on his face.

"Why is this king the person you trust the most?"

Meng Xiyue saw that there was a chance, and immediately praised, "Because the prince is an upright and kind prince who puts the people first. You have a sense of justice and do not abuse your power for personal gain. You are also a talent for business..."

Words of praise flowed out of her mouth like a torrent of water. The more she spoke, the bigger the smile on the corners of Prince Zhennan's mouth became.

He didn't expect that he had so many advantages in Meng Xiyue's heart. "Since you trust me so much, I will agree to your request."

"But the interest should still be calculated as before. I am also half the boss, so it is my responsibility to manage it."

"No, that won't work. It's too hard for the prince. I feel bad about it."

Meng Xiyue frowned. Wasn't she getting it for free? Besides, it was useless even if she asked for so much money.

It can be seen that Prince Zhennan really doesn't want it, she said after thinking about it.

"Why not take out 30% of the interest and use it for charity, taking from the people and giving back to the people."

The political situation is not stable now. Although people in various places live better than before, there are still many refugees. These silvers can help the refugees start their own businesses.

It can also be used for other things, such as building roads, building academies, etc. Everything requires silver.

"So good."

Prince Zhennan nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will manage these shops well."

"Of course I believe in the prince."

Looking at her relaxed and happy smile, Prince Zhennan couldn't help but feel happy too. However, when he thought that she was about to leave and he didn't know when they would see each other again, his heart ached.

"Winter is coming soon. The weather in the Great Yuan Kingdom is cold. Why don't we wait until winter to leave?"

"I have decided to leave the day after tomorrow. This trip is mainly for sightseeing. I am not in a hurry to travel. I will stop and walk as I please. By the time I arrive in the Great Yuan Kingdom, it will be spring."

Meng Xiyue politely declined his request to stay. Her heart had already flown away and she didn't want to wait any longer.

"Your Majesty, I know my words are a bit redundant, but Your Majesty, please take care of me."

She was about to leave, but the person she was most worried about was still Nan Rongzhi, even though she was now the emperor and the supreme ruler.

However, the situation in Nanrong Kingdom was still somewhat chaotic. In addition, due to her identity as a woman, her throne was not secure, and voices denouncing her would arise from time to time among the people.

She was busy almost every day, but Meng Xiyue couldn't help her with the affairs in the court.

The Prince of Zhennan commands a large army and is loved by the people. His authority in the court is higher than that of Nan Rongzhi.

In fact, she didn't need to say much, Prince Zhennan would do his best to support Nan Rongzhi.

"I will. She is a good emperor. Nanrong will become better and better in the future."

"How about you and that Prince Qi? Have you reconciled?"

In the end, he couldn't help but ask, pretending to be cheerful and just asking casually.

"It's nothing good or bad. I don't want to talk about love right now. I have to go to Yuanqing Country, and he is going back too. We are on the same way. As for the future, we will talk about it later."

Meng Xiyue didn't want to worry about these things. She just wanted to live a free life and not be bound by anyone.

She was getting along fairly easily with Xie Junyi now, so they decided to go back together. It just so happened that the two-year agreement had expired, so he didn't need to follow her anymore.

When he returned to Yuanqing Kingdom, he stayed there and continued to be the prince, while he traveled around the world.

If he doesn't want to be a prince anymore, then... he can go wherever he wants.

She didn't want to think about their future, just let it go with the flow.

Xie Junyi also knew what she was thinking, so he didn't force her or ask such questions.

"That's fine too."

Prince Zhennan lowered his eyes and couldn't help but envy Prince Qi. At least he once had all of Meng Xiyue's love.

Now I can give up everything and follow her without hesitation.

He believed that with time, Meng Xiyue would accept him sooner or later.

As for me, from the beginning to the end, I was like a peeping Tom, secretly in love with her, but I couldn't and didn't dare to express my feelings.

He knew that saying it out loud would only add to Meng Xiyue's troubles and make her avoid him even more. It was meaningless.

If he could be like Xie Junyi, give up everything and travel around the world with her, perhaps he would also have a chance.

But he couldn't and wouldn't do that. The political situation in Nanrong Kingdom was unstable and he had to stay in the capital.

He couldn't let go of the capital, nor could he let go of the people of Nanrong Kingdom.

He was destined to be a different kind of person from her, and they wouldn't even have a chance to compete. In that case, it was better not to say some things.

Just like that, we became close friends and it was nice to see her live a happy life.

He smiled and said to her, "Take care."

Cherish the love in his heart, which is probably the only love in his life.

Before leaving, Meng Xiyue went to say goodbye to Nan Rongzhi. She still remembered that when she came here three years ago, she vowed to help Nan Rongzhi seize everything and help her become the queen.

Now that everything has been achieved, Nan Rongzhi has to walk the rest of the way alone.

Nan Rongzhi did not say anything to try to keep her. She knew that this was Meng Xiyue's long-cherished wish, so she would naturally support her.

That night, Meng Xiyue stayed in the palace. The two of them talked by candlelight and had a great time all night.

On the second day, Nan Rongzhi changed into the dragon robe and attended the morning court, while Meng Xiyue left the palace, went back to pack her bags, and quietly left the capital.

She didn't like parting, so she didn't tell anyone the exact time of her departure.

Just like that, she quietly left the capital.

Unlike the heavy mood when she came here, she is now cheerful. She took out the map she had prepared in advance and studied the way back to Yuanqing Kingdom, and how to get there so that she can pass by all the places she wants to go.
