I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

Yang Xiaofei's sudden death did not cause much waves in the capital, but the matter of the third prince was eased a little because of Yang Xiaofei's death.

A memorial to the court suggesting that the perfume be sold outside was submitted.

Zhou Qinghe was given a job that couldn't be any more idle. He had to report to the yamen every day and then go home to sleep.

"This is how we in the Qingxian Yamen operate."

The dandies gathered together, playing chicken and dog fighting. They did whatever they felt comfortable with.

Zhou Qinghe simply went home to practice martial arts with Master Wu.

"The Maritime Customs intends to include perfumed dew in maritime trade?"

"Yes."

After getting the accurate answer, Zhou Qinghe stood behind Zhao Fangyu like a little wife and massaged her shoulders.

"Your share?"

Zhao Fangyu shook his head.

"The Maritime Customs is dealing with Yang Gushan's son, so I naturally won't hand the goods over to them."

Zhou Qinghe nodded, thinking that was a reasonable idea. He just felt it was a pity.

"The perfume you make is so good. If you sell it to those small countries, I'm afraid it will empty their pockets."

Zhao Fangyu shook his head again and taught Zhou Qinghe a lesson.

"A small country is small because either its resources are scarce or its population is small. Either of these two factors indicates that money is limited."

"With the official ship in front, things similar to the official ship can't be sold at a high price."

"But if it's an exchange, there's a lot to be done."

Zhou Qinghe's eyes lit up. "We can use Daliang's fragrant dew to exchange for their rare treasures? Then we can ship the rare treasures back to China and exchange them for gold and silver?"

Zhao Fangyu nodded.

"This way, we can avoid paying taxes and earn more money by exchanging our money."

Zhou Qinghe could understand all these, but what he didn't understand was why Zhao Fangyu would take the initiative to give this lucrative job to Yang Gushan.

"Yang Gushan is a bandit with a stubborn heart, and the Third Prince is cruel and merciless. If they gain power, we will lose it."

"Yang Gushan has a son from a concubine's family, his only son."

"The sea was rough and windy, and the unpredictable things happened. Not seeing anyone alive or dead was enough to make him feel very uneasy."

Zhao Fangyu glanced at his hands, which were white and slender, as he fiddled with the abacus.

In fact... it has already been stained with blood.

She grew up little by little, and became a stranger to herself.

Zhou Qinghe silently suggested, "Can we arrange for a few people from the Zheng family to go as well?"

"...There is."

Zhou Qinghe said "oh" and continued to massage his shoulders.

Now that the palace is being run by Zhao Fangyu, Zhou Qinghe has nothing to do, so he has started training the water transport gang in Jiangnan again.

The days passed uneventfully, but on the day when the matter of the Third Prince came to light, the court was in chaos.

The local officials and their subordinates were made to take the blame for the crime. The Third Prince did not rule strictly, and the crimes committed by the whole people were inevitable.

Finally, he was stripped of his royal title and sent to guard the city gate.

After the emperor judged this case, he was really disheartened.

The most favorite sons met with accidents one after another, but the one he loved the least was like a weed, and after being broken several times, he was still alive with all his limbs intact.

Considering that the fourth prince had all his limbs intact, the emperor managed to rescue him.

Ask about homework every day.

So much so that some people in the court speculated that the emperor wanted to reuse the fourth prince.

"Brother, have you read this book?"

The fourth prince asked Zhou Qinghe in frustration while holding a book.

Zhou Qinghe crossed his legs and shook his head honestly: "No!"

“Why don’t you read it!”

Zhou Qinghe looked at the fourth brother who was unaware of his good fortune and couldn't help but have another evil thought: "How about I teach you a trick?"

The Fourth Prince nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Zhou Qinghe took out his purse, opened it, and sighed silently, "The weather's getting colder, so why is my purse empty too?"

The Fourth Prince: "..."

The Fourth Prince had nothing to say. He took out his purse and stuffed it into Zhou Qinghe's palm.

Zhou Qinghe uttered two expensive words: "Pretending to be sick."

"?!"

The fourth prince rushed forward and said, "Give it back to me! Give it back to me! This is the personal property my mother gave me. If I don't have any more, please leave some for me!"

There were two silver notes in his purse, totaling two hundred taels!

Zhou Qinghe only said two words, and each word cost one hundred taels. Is he crazy?!

Zhou Qinghe tutted twice and stuffed his purse tighter: "I told you, I'll teach you a trick, but it's up to you whether you use it or not!"

The Fourth Prince uttered a loud "Pah!" and said, "I'll tell my second sister-in-law!"

Zhou Qinghe immediately pulled the man back and said, "Your second sister-in-law is my wife. What's the difference between complaining to her and complaining to me?"

"Sit down, I'll give you another move."

The Fourth Prince did not move, intending to wait until he had finished listening before deciding whether to be fooled or not.

"You speak first. If your answer is not good, I will ask my second sister-in-law to make the decision for me."

Zhou Qinghe pressed the man down on the chair, picked up the book and flipped through it. "If you've made up your mind, then study hard. Go to the Cui family and find a teacher. Study hard, and you'll probably be able to find a good job in the court."

"If you don't want to, then go find your mother."

"Your Majesty has lived in the harem for a long time, so you naturally know how to dissuade our father. It's better than you wandering around here."
