The Emperor was kissed by the Regent and cried again

Liu Xuying said angrily, "It's already miserable for us to fall into prostitution, and you still want to exploit us? Do you have the nerve to do that?"

"I was wrong. I'll give it all to you." Shen Jingli handed over all the money in his pocket.

"This is all I have for now." Shen Jingli gave the silver to Liu Xuying reluctantly.

It's gone before it even has time to warm up.

Liu Xuying counted the items carefully.

Shen Jingli said with a sad face: "No need to order, I have ordered several times, a total of 12 taels, plus 509 copper coins, fair to everyone."

Liu Xuying: "When will you give me the rest?"

Shen Jingli did not give a direct answer. He still had to pay back 47 taels plus 491 copper coins, which was a considerable amount of money.

It takes a long time to sell the portions.

"To be honest, my money was stolen by... that person. I will return it to you immediately when I get it back!"

"But you are..."

This person is most likely the emperor, but Ruanxianglou has been ordered to keep silent, so it is not easy to say it out loud.

"never mind…"

Shen Jingli still felt resentful about the rumors of impotence and asked, "So... you were the one who spread the rumor that I was impotent?"

Liu Xuying quickly denied it. She was not such a nagging person. "It wasn't me. If I hadn't paid you first, they would have spread even worse rumors."

"Then...thank you, Oiran..."

girl?

Living in a brothel, being regarded as an actor, a plaything...

It has been a long time since I heard someone call me a girl...

Liu Xuying's eyes dimmed a little, and she coughed, "...No need to thank me, come to Ruanxianglou when you have money, and I'll give you a figure, just 47 taels."

Shen Jingli was overjoyed, "Thank you, I will definitely repay the girl's debt first."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Shen Jingli looked at the candied haws in his hand and regretted it deeply. "I should have known not to buy it earlier. Two coins for a string is too expensive."

……

Shen Jingli returned to the palace covered in dust and dirt. As soon as he stepped into the Qianlu Palace, Songzhu in the distance heard the noise and ran towards Shen Jingli with tears and snot, "Your Majesty, you are not dead."

"It scared me to death."

Seeing Songzhu running towards him, Shen Jingli picked up a wooden stick and pointed it at Songzhu: "Be normal, I won't die for the time being."

Nanny Qiu's eyes were moist. Seeing that Shen Jingli was safe and sound, she could not hide her joy, "Your Majesty, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

A group of maids and eunuchs bowed their heads and knelt down: "Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. If you survived a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future."

There seemed to be a few people sobbing in the crowd.

Shen Jingli felt warm in his heart, "Okay, I'm fine, it's just that the process was a little embarrassing. I'm thick-skinned, so it's okay."

"Everyone go away, Songzhu stay."

Everyone dispersed, Songzhu still had tears in his eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty? Is there something wrong?"

"Lend me some money."

Songzhu stopped crying instantly, "Again?"

"For the last time, please, please."

Songzhu hesitated for a moment, his expression solemn: "I only have 50 wen left on my body."

Shen Jingli clasped his hands together and said earnestly, "I need some start-up capital right now. Will you help me?"

"Oh." Songzhu held his forehead and sighed.

Seeing Shen Jingli's anxious look, Song Zhu was helpless.

"Didn't the emperor ask me to decorate the Qiu Shui Pavilion? That almost used up all my savings."

"Isn't that spending the royal family's money?"

Shochiku: "Do you have that right? You have many demands, all for a small amount of money. You must pay it back when you have money in the future."

The Qiu Shui Pavilion was decorated in an elegant manner, and all the money needed came from Songzhu. Shen Jingli never expected that Songzhu was a hidden rich man.

"You are quite rich, you got all these things, you are a millionaire."

Songzhu shook his head, "It's rented, luckily it's not damaged, otherwise I can't afford the compensation."

"I spent 63 taels in total. I need to remind you that you owe me 81 taels in total."

"..."

What a sin! How come this emperor has no privileges at all? Shen Jingli stared at the purse that had not even a copper coin in it and felt so angry that he wanted to curse.

How long will this incompetent emperor last?

Seeing Shen Jingli's dejected look, Song Zhu finally couldn't bear to ask for the debt again. "Pay it back when you have money. I'm not in a hurry and I won't charge you interest."

"Good Songzhu, I will pay it back as soon as possible."

“How soon is as soon as possible?”

Shen Jingli said confidently: "Don't worry, I have an IQ cheat."

"WTF?"

Shen Jingli smiled mysteriously: "The secret cannot be revealed."

After all, I am a modern person. I make money using modern creativity, so I must be counting money until my hands cramp.

It’s just that you can’t save up the start-up capital that prevents you from getting rich overnight.

"Good Songzhu, lend me 50 coins to help me out in an emergency. When I have money, I will not treat you unfairly."

Song Zhu handed the 50 cents to Shen Jingli reluctantly. Just when he was about to remind him to save some money, Shen Jingli unexpectedly ran out of Qianlu Palace without looking back.

This prodigal man is such a spendthrift.

----

Shen Jingli arrived at the Internal Affairs Office. As soon as he entered the gate, Qian Fugui, who was leaning against the wall, laughed maliciously: "Little Emperor? You escaped from the jaws of death so quickly?"

Is it not possible to be a regent?

The little emperor seems to be in good condition.

"What are you talking about? I have something to talk to you about. It's urgent."

Qian Fugui looked surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Your matter with the Regent? This official cannot interfere."

"I can't put my feet in, let alone my mouth."

"By the way, what have you done in Dragon Roar Hall for so long?"

Shen Jingli said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll treat you to a big meal, and we can talk while we eat."

Qian Fugui was skeptical and said, "You are suspicious. I won't go."

"Okay, I just want you to do me a small favor, a very small favor, to help me make some connections."

Seeing that Qian Fugui was still hesitating, Shen Jingli simply took action and pushed him all the way out of the palace gate.

Shen Jingli brought Qian Fugui to a steamed bun shop, "Boss, two steamed buns, vegetarian ones."

Shen Jingli sat down first. Seeing Qian Fugui standing there in a daze, he asked, "Why are you standing there? Sit down."

Qian Fugui looked at the bun shop with a puzzled look on his face...

Where is the dinner?

Could it be this Brother Wang’s steamed bun shop?

Or a roadside stall?

Qian Fugui rolled his eyes and sat down reluctantly, his disdain evident in his eyes.

After a while, the stall owner brought out two vegetarian buns, without even a bowl, which was placed on a paper cushion.

Shen Jingli didn't mind and started eating directly. The buns in this bun shop were cheap and had plenty of fillings. It was a treasure stall she accidentally discovered when she left the palace some time ago.

"Why don't you eat? Don't you like it?"

Originally, he planned to invite Qian Fugui to a better restaurant, but the funds did not allow it. All the funds of Ri Ri Xian were used to repay debts, and he even had to borrow money from Song Zhu to buy the buns.

Otherwise, you won’t even have vegetarian buns to eat.

"My stomach hurts." Qian Fugui really didn't want to eat the vegetarian bun in front of him which did not stimulate his appetite at all.

"You two, what a coincidence, can I sit down?" Shen Jingli and Qian Fugui looked up at the same time, both surprised.

Why is Gu Sichen here?

"can."

Gu Sichen sat down and saw Shen Jingli eating half of a bun. He asked curiously, "Is this bun delicious?"

"...It's delicious. I'll treat Gu Ai... Brother Gu to have one."

There were other customers in this bun shop, and Shen Jingli didn't want to reveal his identity and cause trouble.
