The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Chapter 21: Your Majesty, are you helping the Emperor?

Songzhu took the palace card and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being the palace card of Longxiao Palace. It is made of the finest mutton-fat jade."

Shochiku flipped through the palace cards left and right as if he had discovered a new continent.

"What are you doing? Grab some weapons and make a fortune."

……

The carriage slowly moved towards the palace gate, and the guards raised their swords to stop it. Except for the people in Longxiao Palace, the rest of the palace had to investigate the reason if they wanted to leave through Xuanwu Gate.

"Which palace?"

Shochiku showed the palace card and said with a smug look on his face: "Watch out, if you delay things, you will be committing a serious sin."

When the guards saw that it was the jade palace badge of Long Xiao Palace, they immediately changed their expressions, put away their swords, and nodded and bowed: "I am only doing my official business, please don't blame me, sir. Please leave slowly."

"Giggle cluck..."

"what sound?"

"The prince's new pet?"

“It looks like a chicken.”

"Let's not ask about the Dragon Roar Palace."

Shen Jingli was overjoyed to see that it was so convenient to leave the palace. Is the palace card of Long Xiao Palace so powerful? It seems that leaving the palace will be a matter of minutes in the future.

The hen was extremely excited and kept clucking, which gave me a headache just by listening to it.

"Stop barking!"

“Chuckle…Chuckle…”

"..."

Shen Jingli quickly tied the chicken's beak with a rope to stop it from howling.

----

When I arrived at the market, I randomly found a stall with a lot of traffic and arranged the poultry and some vegetables neatly.

"Prince...Your Majesty, why are everyone looking at us?" The gazes from all around made Songzhu feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

"After all, it's a new face. Don't mind it. We'll sell ours."

A woman passing by asked in a hoarse voice: "How much is this hen?"

"Big sister, two hundred coins each, they are quite big now."

The eldest sister saw that the hen was indeed full of life and would surely be very delicious if used to make soup. She also felt that it was getting late, so she wanted to take the opportunity to bargain, "It's too expensive, one hundred coins will do."

Shen Jingli: "Sister, a hundred coins are not enough. This hen is very energetic. Listen to her crows."

He untied the rope around the chicken's beak and patted its back, but the hen didn't make a sound.

"..."

"..."

The onlookers couldn't help but joked: "Haha, a dumb chicken?"

"What's the use of a chicken that can't crow?"

"Sister Lin, are you still going to buy it?"

"Go, go, go, don't."

……

Everyone laughed. Shen Jingli blushed and felt embarrassed, so he asked Songzhu for help.

Songzhu spread his hands. He couldn't handle this chicken. It might have been too frightened and lost its voice...

Another woman in plain clothes asked, "Hey, please give me the fifty cents for your dumb chicken."

Fifty cents? You must be kidding!

Shen Jingli naturally refused to sell at this price. While stroking the hen's back, he continued to talk: "Beautiful sister, it...it's just introverted. It's a deep chicken."

Shen Jingli looked at Ji and threatened: "Brother Ji, I just tied your mouth, why are you still angry? You are only worth fifty cents, are you willing to accept this?"

The hen just won't crow.

"..."

"Isn't this a sick chicken?"

"Then I don't want it anymore, no more."

Shen Jingli was speechless: "No, it..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of a hen's crow echoed throughout the entire street, stunning everyone who was watching the show.

The elder sister who was about to leave turned back. The cry was indeed sharp, and the fish was big. It was sold by the piece, not by kilogram.

"Two hundred coins is fine, and give me the vegetables."

"Okay, sister, come often. I'll still be here tomorrow."

Shen Jingli smiled brightly and touched the chicken's head, "Brother Chicken, you are so kind, see you in the next life."

……

Living things are easy to sell, but the profit is not high. You can make small money, but it is difficult to make big money.

But it doesn’t matter, just save up some starting capital first.

The second floor of Lu'an Teahouse.

Su Feng looked at Qin Yejue in confusion. Why did the prince want to drink tea in a place like this? It seemed like he had other intentions than drinking.

The prince is following the emperor?

That must be the case. The prince had been staring at the little emperor just now. When the little emperor smiled, the prince's pupils tended to dilate slightly, and it was obvious that he was stunned.

At the most critical moment, a stone popped out, causing the hen to scream.

What a strange move...

"What are you thinking?"

Su Feng lowered his head: "Prince, are you...are you helping the Emperor?"

Qin Yejue's face turned cold, and his tone was sharp: "Stop talking nonsense, go back to the palace, and from now on, you are not allowed to speculate secretly."

"Yes, I am guilty."

----

After a while, he sold a duck for four hundred coins, and Shen Jingli was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Sir, it's OK. The goose can be sold for at least 500 coins. The conservative income for today is about one or two taels."

"Wow... I'm going to make a small fortune..."

A sharp scolding interrupted the conversation between the master and servant, "What are you doing? Who is the stall owner?"

Shochiku: "Sir, a fresh goose costs 500 wen."

"What goose? Is this your stall?" The official pointed at the pine and bamboo with a wooden stick, and said to the onlookers, "Everyone, go away. We won't set up the stall here anymore..."

Songzhu walked up to the official, not afraid at all, "Even if you are a government official, you can't do this."

Are there still ruffians among the officials under the emperor’s feet?

"If you have any problem, come to me. I'm the stall owner."

I just don't believe it. Is there no law? Who is he? He can ban anyone he wants!

The officer put away the stick and glanced at Shen Jingli: "Leave the noisy goose behind and get out of here. I'll pretend I didn't meet you. No need to thank me."

Shen Jingli: ???

What kind of new robbery is this???

"No, where did you come from? Why are you stealing geese in the middle of the night?"

Shen Jingli stood up quickly and walked towards the officer, with a righteous look on his face: "I won't leave."

"Are you serious?"

Shen Jingli nodded heavily, and the officer handed Shen Jingli a piece of paper with a look on his face saying "you asked for it".

"Street picket?"

After Shen Jingli saw the contents of the order, he felt something was wrong. "Is this... just for me? Or are there other vendors who have it?"

"Just for you. I know them well and can arrange them."

Is he hinting that he is going to blatantly take the back door?

"What's the price?" As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, and money is needed to get things done.

As soon as these words came out, the people who were watching the excitement started to point and make comments again. The official was obviously a little uncomfortable and shouted softly, "Don't spread bad things behind their backs. They are all setting up stalls honestly. I didn't accept bribes."

"Why can't I pose? Don't I look like a decent person?"

The officer looked at the crowd around him, cleared his throat, and shouted:

"Have you registered your stall location with the Street Office of the Patrol Office?"

Shen Jingli shook his head.

"Then you dare to come out and set up a stall? Are you looking for death?"

Shen Jingli exclaimed: "Are you an urban management officer?"

Officer: "You are a traitor..."

Shen Jingli: "No, no, I don't dare to rebel."

"My name is Guan Cheng."

"Is there a difference?"

Guan Cheng had a puzzled look on his face: "Of course there is a difference. You are an unlicensed vendor and you are not my mother or father. How can you change my name without permission?"

"Okay...Okay, I won't change it. Master Guan, I'll take care of the formalities when I have time. Can I make it up tomorrow?"

"Humph, I knew you didn't have it. You're the only stranger on this street."

Shen Jingli never expected that setting up a stall would require going through various formalities. It seemed that he didn't know enough about this dynasty.

Puzzled, he said, "Why is it so troublesome? I'm just setting up a stall."

Guan Cheng looked disdainful and said, "What do you know? There are zoning areas here, and each stall needs to rent. Otherwise, if everyone rushes to grab the prime position, what will happen if it causes panic in the surrounding areas?"

"Also, when selling poultry and vegetables, you must register the origin of the products. Did you raise them yourself? Or did you buy them from farmers? What if you stole or robbed them?"

Shen Jingli gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are really thoughtful... and thorough..."

"Yes, come with me to the Inspection Office to file a report."
