I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

"But I just feel so sad." Xie Liuxu was a proud and arrogant person. She felt upset when Zhao Yuanming treated her as a substitute for Lin Yan. Even though she was favored, she felt sad.

After Xiao Cui reminded her, she suddenly realized it and touched her belly. Maybe she was pregnant. If that was the case, hum! Lin Yan, a hen that doesn't lay eggs, would have to stand aside. If the only child in the palace came from her belly, thinking of this, her bad mood immediately improved.

A man's favor is only temporary, and jealousy blinds the most important thing for a woman's long-term survival in a big house.

Tears burst into laughter! Lin Yan, let's compete to see who can give birth to the first child in the palace.

"Xiao Cui, fetch some water. I need to wash and dress up and go visit Lin Yan later!" Xie Liuxu was ready to hang out with Lin Yan. Since she was being treated as a spare tire, she might as well get more benefits for herself.

Lin Yan watched her delicious food go into Zhao Yuan's mouth one by one, and couldn't help swallowing. Suddenly she remembered that the prince seemed to be in a good mood, so she mustered up her courage and said what she had to say.

"Um, Your Majesty, how was the black pearl milk tea I made yesterday?"

"Very good!" Zhao Yuan replied with two concise and clear words.

"real!"

"Ok!"

"I want to use it to open a milk tea shop. You won't object, right?" Lin Yan asked tentatively.

"No!" Zhao Yuan responded very kindly.

Lin Yan's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she wanted to laugh without caring about her image.

I couldn't believe my ears and couldn't help but confirm again: "Well, you really won't object!"

"I've also found a store for you, right in Dongzhimen! The rent is 150,000 yuan a year. Remember to pay it in one lump sum at the end of next year, or every six months." Zhao Yuan looked up at Lin Yan and increased the rent by 30,000 yuan without changing his expression.

Lin Yan almost fell down, and now her eyes bulged out, but it was not enough to express her surprise. She chuckled: "One year, 150,000 taels, rent..."

Lin Yan staggered and sat down on the stool without caring about her image. It turned out that Zhao Yuan was a money-grubber. He was so rich that he could talk about anything. "You must be kidding me, right?"

"Old Thirteen also knows about this. If you don't believe me, ask him later. He should be here soon. The prince's shop has been cleared out. By the way, the rent is also decided by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. Whether he is happy or not, whether he is happy or not." Zhao Yuan's eyes smiled like Maitreya Buddha. This woman not only has skin like silver, but also looks like silver. No wonder he likes looking at her more and more and staying with her.

Lin Yan now wanted to flip the table and curse Zhao Yuan: "You bastard, you are a heartless man who eats people without leaving any bones. She doesn't want to live for a month, let alone three months. A cup of milk tea costs only one or two taels at most. The rent is more than ten thousand a month. She can't sell it even if she works herself to death."

Lin Yan tried hard to adjust herself and wanted to make money and run away, but now she is trapped in a vicious circle that she can't figure out.

Otherwise, I could just take the box of pearls, turn left and walk two miles out of the house, pawn them and run away. But that didn't seem to be enough! I didn't want to affect my quality of life because of running away. In ancient times, everything was green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly. If you didn't have money, you had to walk to get out. Life like that wouldn't be very comfortable.

"What? You don't want to do business and make money anymore?" Zhao Yuan's face changed, and he suddenly asked with a hint of meaning.

"Yes!" Lin Yan blurted out, completely ignoring why Zhao Yuan asked her this.

"But I can't make 150,000 taels of rent even if I sell it. Let's return the store to the prince! Thank you for his kindness! Can we find another cheaper store?" Lin Yan currently has only the last box of pearls in her pocket, which was a reward from Zhao Yuan and is worth only a few hundred taels at most.

"This may be a little bit impossible!" Zhao Yuan wiped his mouth and paused for a moment, looking at Lin Yan's face with a half-smile, frowning and looking worried.

As always, all her thoughts were written on her face. I don't know why, but I felt guilty. I wanted to reach out and smooth out the wrinkles between her brows.

"why?"

"I signed a contract with the Crown Prince yesterday, in front of Old Thirteen!

But I see that Old Thirteen seems to be very interested, if it doesn't work out, you can ask him to be your partner." Zhao Yuan said, spreading his hands.

Lin Yan was upset and worried. It was not possible to have everything you wish for. Cooperating with a kid who was less than ten years old, I would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey or squeezed by the crack of the door.

Zhao Yuan, you bastard! You are even more evil-hearted than the capitalists, you are a heartless bastard.

Lin Yan was very conflicted. Opportunities are rare and will never come again! It was an unexpected surprise that Zhao Yuan agreed to let her do business in public. If she gave up, she would never have another chance. The rent of 150,000 taels was even crazier than robbing a bank now. There seemed to be no banks in ancient times.

Why on earth would he sign such an ignorant contract? The royal family and nobles really have no concept of money.

He looked at Zhao Yuan again and again, wanting to rush forward and beat him up regardless of everything, but looking at his thin arms and legs, he gave up helplessly.

Give up or accept, why is it so difficult? Lin Yan's lips were pouted so much that you could hang an oil bottle on them.

I am unwilling to accept this, I am unwilling to accept this, I am unwilling to accept this!!!

"Think about it. Based on my understanding of the prince, he might send the key to the store over soon." Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Yan's conflicted face with a serious expression.

Lin Yan felt that Zhao Yuan's words sounded so awkward. Her IQ was not high enough. She would not be the first person who traveled through time and space to survive more than three months.

How come my fate of being born with bad luck didn't kill Zhao Yuan? Wasn't it said that ancient fortune-telling was very accurate? Why didn't it work for me?

"I can't make back the 150,000 yuan a year in rent just by selling black pearl milk tea. I have to do something else." Lin Yan tried to calm herself down and searched in her mind for other foods that were not available in ancient times.

Pearl milk tea with cakes and cookies. To make these, you need a large oven, which is modern and convenient. Various electrical appliances are clean, hygienic and efficient.

"Well! First of all, I'm only responsible for helping you rent a house. You can't go out and show your face. You can go to the store occasionally to check the accounts!

I don't have any goods for you to sell! Tell me who you want to use in the mansion, and I can help you arrange a reliable person. "Zhao Yuan stared at Lin Yan's frowning face and said, adding insult to injury.

Lin Yan looked at Zhao Yuan in disbelief. She was still locked up in this backyard. Why did she feel like she was working for him but didn't have to pay him?

"Please keep your opinion to yourself! For the next three months, you'd better stay under my protection. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can survive this month." Zhao Yuan looked serious, which reminded Lin Yan that her life was hanging by a sword.
