Chapter 269 The Emperor Emeritus Borrows a Car
Jingxue thought of Ye Muchi and then of Ye Muchen. When he married the original owner, was he just like Ye Muchi? But how innocent was the original owner!
Alas! These feudal marriages based on arranged marriages have indeed caused immense harm! Free love is so much better now!
Unfortunately, I can't go back.
Jingxue could sense Ye Muchen's changes over the past few months. He had even confessed his feelings to her more than once, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved at all.
No girl doesn't want a lover who loves her and cherishes her.
Because of her own family background in modern times, Jingxue has some fear of marriage, so she doesn't want to face this issue right now. However, her relationship with Ye Muchen can't stay stagnant forever. She hasn't decided whether to move forward or backward.
Ye Musi's wedding quickly brought business to Jing Xue, with both the Ministry of Rites and the Court of Judicial Review visiting Qin Jing at the same time.
When Qin Jing explained his purpose, Jing Xue did not refuse. However, she thought that the first person to come to her would be the old man, the Emperor Emeritus, mainly because she was already used to it.
In fact, after returning to the palace, the Empress Dowager did talk to the Emperor Emeritus about the glass. Her intention was to discuss with the Emperor Emeritus the matter of not taking Jingxue's glass for free, but the Emperor Emeritus said there was no rush.
He wasn't in a hurry, because he knew that Jingxue must have something to do by calling the army and the people from the manor to the residence. Moreover, there was always clanging and banging noise in the Zhanwang residence, so it couldn't be just about glass; there must be something better. He wanted to wait.
When the Empress Dowager heard the Emperor Emeritus say this, she was no longer in a hurry.
Jingxue told Qin Jing to post a notice in Mingyue Tower, offering to replace glass windows. She also suggested that other services, such as water pumps, be placed there, and the manager would deliver them to the Zhanwang Mansion after receiving the orders.
The reason she chose Mingyue Tower was twofold: firstly, she owned shares in Mingyue Tower, and secondly, those who dined there were all high-ranking officials and wealthy people, and Jingxue planned to exploit them.
The price of glass was not cheap either. The price quoted by the Space Mall was between fifteen and thirty wen per square meter, mainly depending on the thickness of the glass. Jingxue directly changed "wen" to "liang".
Of course, the installation is free, and the carpenter is paid according to his work.
Jingxue, the manager of Mingyue Tower, treated them well, giving them a commission of two taels of silver for each order they took.
Before leaving, Jingxue gave Qin Jing 20 walkie-talkies.
After completing the lists for the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Justice, the weather became even warmer.
Jingxue decided to start operations at the workshop, the academy, and all the shops on West Street. Wow! That's going to be busy!
She had to go to several construction sites. The one on West Street was just the second floor, which was relatively simple. As long as the materials and personnel were in place, it would be fine. Besides, there were several shopkeepers looking after it.
Jingxue had to keep an eye on the academy and workshops. Fortunately, the space finally lived up to expectations, and three-wheeled vehicles appeared, in several different styles, large and small, with and without canopies.
Jingxue set up a covered tent and dragged Runyue between the academy and the workshop all day long. When they reached a wide, deserted road, Runyue would be eager to try it out. Jingxue, sitting behind her, knew her and both of them covered up tightly, feeling the spring breeze on their faces!
Ye Muchen was also busy. Construction had begun on a military village every five miles, and each village needed to have several hand pumps dug. Sometimes he and Jingxue wouldn't see each other for several days at a time.
By early March, the shops on West Street were completed, and several shops had their windows fitted with bright glass, attracting many people to come and see the new sights.
If it weren't for the imperial decree, Jingxue would have completely forgotten about the Nanzhao delegation coming.
This time, not only Eunuch Fuhai but also Eunuch Xi came to deliver the imperial decree. As soon as Jingxue saw Eunuch Xi, she knew that nothing good was coming.
But they still had to kneel down to receive the imperial decree. The decree said that the Nanzhao delegation would arrive in Shangjing in two days, and Prince Jin would also return. According to the urgent report sent by Prince Jin, Nanzhao had sent a princess and a great shaman this time. Both of them were experts in playing with insects and carried several poisonous snakes with them.
The wizard was also riding a leopard.
Therefore, the Emperor still insisted that Jingxue accompany him throughout the entire process, not because she requested it, but because the Emperor felt that only Jingxue was capable of it.
Jingxue remained kneeling on the ground, refusing to move. Fuhai, at a loss, cried out, "Your Highness, please accept the imperial decree!"
"Eunuch Fu, they didn't ask for anyone to accompany them. Is His Majesty sending me to feed the leopards?"
"Your Highness, you can even fight tigers, so you must be able to handle leopards too, right?" Fu Hai said with a smile.
Jingxue rolled her eyes. "Father-in-law, you said it yourself. When we meet, I'll kill that leopard first."
Startled, Fu Hai knelt down with a thud. "Oh dear! Your Highness, that's not what I meant! His Majesty didn't mean it either, please forgive me!"
Jingxue stood up, took the imperial edict, and said angrily, "What do you all mean? Don't you know I'm busy? And this Nanzhao, why did they have to come at this time of year? Now that they're here, I'll make sure they can't go back. I'll stew all the poisonous snakes and leopards."
Grandpa Fu was too frightened to get up. Jingxue glanced at Grandpa Xi, who was gloating beside her, and asked, "Grandpa Xi, are you so free now?"
The old eunuch said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this old servant has come on orders. The Emperor Emeritus said he was bored in the palace and would like to borrow Your Highness's new carriage for a few days."
"Borrow? When did Father become so polite? Sigh! I originally planned to give Father a new one, but since it's a loan, let's just take the one in the yard!"
Upon hearing Jingxue's words, Eunuch Xi shrank back, thinking to himself, "The Emperor Emeritus is something else. Why don't you just ask for it openly? Why do you have to make Jing'er say he's borrowing it, as if he's borrowed something and returned it?"
The eunuch said with a smile, "Your Highness is so generous. Please give this old servant some face and present the Emperor Emeritus with a new carriage, the kind that's in the courtyard. This will be a reward from the Emperor Emeritus. Thank you in advance, Your Highness."
Jingxue ignored his words and said to Fuhai, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Eunuch Fu, get up! I was just saying it casually, and you're still giving such a big bow. Get up!"
The young eunuch next to Fu Hai quickly came over and helped him up.
“Eunuch Fu, go back and tell His Majesty that I can forgo the silver for the grain seeds, but once the crops sprout and the delegation leaves, His Majesty should give me an explanation for my contributions. His Majesty knows what I want.”
"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will certainly convey your message! In addition, His Majesty has ordered the Imperial Household Department to prepare auspicious clothing for you." After saying this, Fu Hai pointed to a box held by another eunuch.
"Alright! Put you down and go back to the palace!"
Seeing that Jingxue agreed, Eunuch Fu quickly led the two young eunuchs away.
The eunuch said, "Your Highness, the Emperor Emeritus said that if you are worried about the children, he can send a few Golden Armor Guards to protect them."
Jingxue shook her head, "No need!"
Since Jingxue got busy and didn't have time to pick up and drop off Jingze and An'an, all four shadow guards were at the academy.
"Eunuch Xi, will you ride back yourself or should I send someone to deliver it to the palace for you?"
"Oh dear! Your Highness, this old servant dares not ride it. This old servant brought a carriage with me, so please tie it to the back of the carriage!"
Jingxue nodded, "Alright then! Have someone drive the carriage to the back gate; it's closer there, and the new carriage is in the yard!"
"Very well! Then this old servant will take his leave!" Eunuch Xi took a few steps back and left with his men.
