"Your Majesty is correct. If we want to shorten this period, we need another method and means, but this may require me to take action."

Lin Ting expressed his thoughts.

“I have heard that foxes often appear in Xiluo Country, and their fur can be made into clothes after special processing.

If a woman were to pay three times the price to buy fox fur to make clothes, what would a Xiluo family with a low income do?

The emperor and Mr. Jiang were shocked and looked at each other in astonishment.

After a long pause, Jiang Lao finally spoke: "If that's the case, plus we can buy food at a low price, we won't have to worry about food, and we can also make money.

If I were a strong man, I would lead my family to hunt foxes every day and would naturally not farm anymore."

The emperor nodded and said, "Yes, we have the food. After we sign a contract with King Xiluo, we can start trading.

Everyone can yearn for profit. By then, the soldiers will also go hunting foxes for silver. The Xiluo army will be loose, and we can wipe out Xiluo in one fell swoop. Hahahaha... cough cough..."

The emperor was over fifty years old and had worked hard for the Dongxia Kingdom. He laughed so hard that he suddenly started coughing violently.

"His Majesty……"

Just as Eunuch Liu was about to step forward, he was stopped by the emperor. He drank two sips of tea to relieve his symptoms, let out a long breath, and turned to look at Lin Ting.

"Mr. Jiang is right. Madam Lin is different from other women. If Dongxia Kingdom disintegrates Xiluo, Madam Lin will be the first to achieve the credit."

While the emperor was happy, he was also secretly glad that Lin Ting was willing to stand with the Dongxia Kingdom. If such talents were to end up in Xiluo, it would surely be their death.

Fortunately, and very lucky.

"I dare not take credit for this. Didn't I also make a profit from this matter? It can be said to be a win-win situation for both me and the Dongxia Kingdom."

Although Lin Ting included business in it, she could have chosen not to do it. Isn't this also a contribution to the country?

"Mrs. Lin is righteous, but fox fur smells foul. I'm afraid you'll lose your capital if you make it into clothing."

Lin Ting smiled and stood up. She had thought about this a long time ago. After doing business for so long, how could she let herself lose all her money?

If this deal is done, with the emperor behind her as a pusher, she will have a truly unshakable position in the capital.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. I have a special processing method that will not make the fox fur have any odor.

The fox fur is beautiful. When the time comes, all you need to do is give it to the nobles in the harem. If the nobles love it so much, I, a common woman, will not be disappointed."

Lin Ting made suggestions for the country, but her profits or losses fell on the emperor, and this was exactly the result she wanted.

When that day really comes, others will know that even the emperor is helping her. This is what Lin Ting really thinks in her mind.

The three of them discussed some details, and when they were almost done, the emperor asked the eunuch to take an imperial token and give it to Lin Ting.

"I hereby declare that Lin Ting will be a guest official of Lin from now on. From now on, he can enter and leave the palace with his token."

Eunuch Liu took the order and turned around to get the token and gave it to Lin Ting.

"Madam Lin, this is the token for entering and leaving the palace. When you come to the palace to discuss matters in the future, you can use this token to enter and exit the palace gate."

This is a privilege. No one can get this token except a few close ministers around the emperor.

Lin Ting took the token with both hands: "I thank your majesty."

The moment he came out of the imperial study, Lin Ting took a deep breath. It was his first time discussing state affairs with His Majesty, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

In her nervousness, she realized that she had been in there for an hour and a half.

Following a little eunuch out, the Seventh Prince was no longer outside the imperial study.

Lin Ting now just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible. The jewelry on her head felt very heavy. She was really not used to wearing so many jewelry.

But the eunuch who led her out seemed to be taking a different route than the one she had just come from.

"Wait a minute, eunuch. Isn't this the way out of the palace?"

Bailu and Xiaoman were still waiting for Lin Ting at the outer gate. The people in the palace must have known that if she wanted to go back, she would take her two maids with her.

But the eunuch led her by another route. Even though it was Lin Ting's first time entering the palace, she still remembered the route she took.

"Mrs. Lin, just follow me."

The young eunuch lowered his head, not daring to face Lin Ting directly, but everyone in the palace was dangerous, so Lin Ting had to be on guard.

"I came out of the Imperial Study after a meeting, but His Majesty never told me to go anywhere else.

Since I don't know other roads in the palace, but I remember the way back to the Imperial Study very clearly, why don't I go back and ask Your Majesty what you mean?"

When the young eunuch heard Lin Ting say this, he was so scared that he dropped the whisk in his hand. He was a newcomer and could not afford to offend anyone in the palace.

"Madam Lin, please spare my life. If His Majesty knew that I brought you to the harem, he would definitely punish me. Madam Lin, please don't tell His Majesty."

Looking around, Lin Ting unexpectedly arrived at the harem: "Tell me, who asked you to bring me here?"

The young eunuch was trembling all over and couldn't utter a word. At this time, a clear female voice was heard.

"Madam Lin, there's no need to embarrass a little eunuch. It's our Consort Xian who invites you to have a chat. Madam Lin, please..."

A woman dressed as a palace maid came over and invited Lin Ting to go with her.

Lin Ting quickly sorted out his impression of Concubine Xian in his mind. He seemed to have heard that she was the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, but he didn't know why she wanted to see him?

When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Lin Ting will go and meet this virtuous concubine.

Following the little palace maid, I walked around several palace gates and finally arrived at Yanshun Palace.

"Madam Lin, our queen has prepared tea, please..."

Lin Ting followed the palace maid into Yanshun Palace. It was spring, and flowers were in full bloom. However, the most eye-catching one was the towering pear tree, which was covered with small white flowers, each of which was pure white.

The entire palace is decorated with carved beams and painted walls, and eunuchs and palace maids are waiting to serve. It is luxurious and extravagant, and everything shows the status of the nobles inside.

And when Lin Ting really saw this virtuous concubine, she was in her thirties, well-maintained, and still beautiful.

"Is it okay for Madam Lin to come here so abruptly?"

The smile on Concubine Xian's face did not reach her eyes. While speaking, she asked Lin Ting to sit down.

Lin Ting bowed and saluted: "I wonder what the Queen wants me to do?"

"Madam Lin, please sit down and have a cup of tea. I haven't been out for a long time. I heard that the corn was grown by you, and I even like it."

For the seventh prince to become the crown prince in the future, she, as his mother, must deal with different people and not let go of any clues.

Lin Ting sat at the tea table below and just had to be careful with his words and actions.

"Mrs. Lin, you've just arrived in the capital. I wonder if you're used to living here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your Majesty has granted me a house, so that I and my husband have a place to stay. It is naturally very good."

Since Concubine Xian called Lin Ting here, she must have checked her inside and out and is fully aware of Lin Ting's interpersonal relationships in the capital.

I just don't know what her purpose is in calling me here?
