The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

“Princess Consort Zhan, you are not sincere at all. You sell grain for fifteen coins a catty in your own shop, but you only give us twelve coins. No, this is absolutely unacceptable! Not only that, we also want your Emperor to judge this matter. We have come here with such sincerity to negotiate border trade, why are you making fun of us like this?” Wanyan Junhui said, seemingly aggrieved.

An Wenguang then jumped in and said, "Princess Consort Zhan, this border trade involves more than just this one item. Don't let this affect the projects we've already agreed on!"

Jingxue really wanted to give him a slap in the face.

"Can your grain compare to the grain in our shop? If you don't believe me, we can cook some food and compare them. I'll show you what it means to get what you pay for. If you bring out grain of the same quality as ours, I'll give you fifteen coins a pound," Jingxue said with a smile, spreading her hands.

"No need to compare, the rice in your shop is premium rice, of course we can't compare." Wanyan Junhui had seen the grain in Jingxue's shop, so he knew its quality.

But he didn't expect that his words would allow Jingxue to grasp the key point.

“Since the Seventh Prince says our rice is premium rice, which is only fifteen coins per pound, why do you sell ordinary grains from Cangbei to us in Beiye for thirty coins per pound?” Jingxue asked with a smile.

Wanyan Junhui had nothing to say.

After a moment, the Imperial Advisor said, "Let's call it a day! Let's all go back and discuss this properly!"

Jingxue had no objections. She hadn't expected to get things sorted out as soon as she arrived, but she was thinking about finishing the deal quickly so she could go back to her own residence and do her own thing.

So Jingxue said, "The Grand Preceptor of Wulin is right, let's discuss it again tomorrow!" After saying that, she got up and walked out, leaving the documents on the table behind. Runyue and Ying Si followed her out.

Seeing the attitude of the Ministry of Revenue officials today, Qin Jing didn't expect them to do anything more, so he said, "Then the Grand Preceptor and the two princes should return to the East Palace to rest. Please take care!"

At the entrance, Wanyan Junhao saw that Runyue had disappeared and hurriedly rode his balance bike to chase after Jingxue.

"Princess Consort Zhan, how much is your motorcycle?" Wanyan Junhao asked Jingxue as he caught up with her.

Jingxue glanced at him and said, "I wouldn't sell it to you for any amount of money?"

"Why? If you have money, why aren't you making it?" Wanyan Junhao asked, puzzled.

"I don't need your ten or twenty thousand taels of silver!" Jingxue continued walking.

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand?" Wanyan Junhao repeated, then suddenly realized, "No, how much did your little carriage cost?"

Jingxue ignored him and continued walking forward.

Wanyan Junhao quickly caught up again, asking, "How much silver is it?"

"How many do you want to buy? One costs 10,000, two cost 15,000. I can only sell you two." Jingxue said as she walked. She still had 398 motorcycles in her spatial store. The cost of these motorcycles was only 20 taels of silver. She was going to rip this stupid guy off.

"Me?" Wanyan Junhao was a little unsure.

Jingxue glared at him. "You blockhead! Buy two cars and give one to your wife. I guarantee you two will be the most eye-catching couple in all of Cangbei."

Wanyan Junhao was immediately persuaded by Jingxue's words, "Alright! Then this prince will buy two." After saying that, he took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and began to count them.

It was so cold, Jingxue didn't have time to wait for him. The guy counted out the silver notes and caught up with her again, "Here, this prince will buy two cars."

Jingxue took the silver note, crumpled it in her hand, and then put it in her bosom, saying, "Let me make this clear first! No returns or exchanges unless there's a quality issue!"

"Oh? Okay! I'll go with you to get it."

"Ok!"

Back at Yichun Palace, Runyue blocked Wanyan Junhao outside the courtyard, and Jingxue had Ying Si send the two motorcycles out.

The Grand Preceptor of Wulin and the Seventh Prince, accompanied by several officials from Cangbei, walked slowly behind. Although neither of them said anything, they were both pondering how to proceed with tomorrow's negotiations.

The next morning at court, without Qin Jing and Jing Xue, the people from the Ministry of Revenue, especially An Wenguang, embellished the story of the previous day's negotiations.

The implication was that the Emperor was complaining about Jingxue. The Emperor knew that the people in the Ministry of Revenue were dissatisfied, but since Jingxue could offer twelve coins per catty to buy grain from Cangbei, he hadn't made a mistake in appointing her.

Moreover, the Emperor had a premonition that Cangbei would compromise, so he only offered a few words of reassurance, but he was genuinely disappointed in An Wenguang.

During the imperial examination, this man spoke eloquently and performed exceptionally well; otherwise, he would not have been chosen as the top scholar of the year, and Prime Minister Zou and Minister Wang would have strongly recommended him for the position of Vice Minister of Revenue.

Since taking office, An Wenguang has not accomplished much. However, he has become very close to some officials. It is said that if he were not older and already married, several officials would have wanted to marry their daughters to him.

In retrospect, it seems that Father Emperor's vision was indeed insightful.

When Ye Muchen heard these people talking about Jingxue, he ignored them. He believed that Jingxue could deal with these scoundrels with ease.

Because of the rude remarks from the Ministry of Revenue, the court session ended a little later than usual. Ye Muchen also arrived at the hall where the negotiations were taking place, where Wanyan Junhao and Runyue were racing cars.

This motorcycle is small and looks quite comfortable for children to ride, but for adults, it looks like they're crouching while riding. Plus, with Wanyan Junhao's broad shoulders and thick waist, it looks even more ridiculous.

Jingxue, Qin Jing, and the others were watching the two racers. Runyue had been practicing for two days, and she was also quite agile, so she was faster than Wanyan Junhao at turning and other maneuvers, which infuriated Wanyan Junhao.

As Ye Muchen approached, the Ministry of Revenue officials followed behind. Jingxue then instructed Ying Si to call Runyue back.

Ye Muchen walked to Jingxue's side and asked with concern, "Weren't you upset by them yesterday? Don't force yourself. If it gets too much, go back to the Emperor and let the people from the Ministry of Revenue talk it over themselves. We shouldn't get angry over that, and we shouldn't put up with it."

Before Jingxue could answer, Qin Jing said, "Don't worry, cousin! Only others will be angry. Besides, I'm here."

Ye Muchen didn't even look at Qin Jing, staring straight at Jing Xue. Qin Jing raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, "Why is my cousin acting like a lovesick fool? Alright, I shouldn't get in the way here. Let the couple have a private chat. I'd better leave!"

He said to the two of them, "Then I'll go in first, little brother!"

Jingxue nodded to Qin Jing, then smiled at Ye Muchen, "Don't worry, I'm not angry. Quickly send them away so I can go back to my residence and do my own things!"

Jingxue's words about returning home successfully pleased Ye Muchen, who smiled for once and said, "Xue'er is right. After the talk, tell them to get lost. By the way, that masked man has been dealt with. He won't cause any more trouble for your shop!"

"Oh! Does he really have a grudge against you?" Jingxue asked.

Ye Muchen nodded. "Yes, his father was once the chief eunuch in the palace of the Empress Dowager Xian. Many years ago, he was kicked by me because he bullied Mu Si's mother. He died later, and he also suffered some misfortunes because of this. His grandmother also died. So, he blamed everything on me."

"I see!" Jingxue exclaimed in understanding.
