"Boss Qian, Boss Huang, and Boss An, please have tea." Sitting among the three wealthy businessmen in the capital, Huai Jun had a kind smile on his face, but stared at them sharply.

After the morning court was over, Huai Jun drove out of the palace to meet with the three rich merchants. These three rich merchants have been making frequent moves with Nuo Xu recently, and they have obviously joined Nuo Xu's side. The meeting with Huai Jun this time is to ask them to submit to Nuo Xu instead. he!

He was not sure that Song Leyu would be willing to help him, so he had to pave a way out for himself, or cut off the way Nuo Xu had paved.

"His Royal Highness, you are being polite." Boss Qian, who was the leader, smiled and politely sipped his tea, "I heard that His Highness respects corporals earlier, and now it seems that the rumors are true."

The boss of Qian earns salt profits, and holds half of the world's salt profits firmly in his hands, making his family rich.There are three sons in his family, the eldest two took over the family business, and the youngest one relied on the financial resources of the family and donated a Beijing official to come back to work, so it can be said that he has power and wealth.

"Cao Cao said in the past that mountains can never be too high and seas can never be too deep. Now that the court is employing people, there are always talents who can't get too many." Huai Jun said politely.

"It's a pity that the three of us are nothing but money-smelling businessmen. Except for a few stinky money, we have nothing to contribute to the court." Knowing Huai Jun's intentions, Boss Huang cleverly rejected him.

Huang Laokuo runs a winery, and the wines made by Huang's family are all the best in the world, and every family has to compete to buy them, so the price has repeatedly hit new highs.In addition to doing business with wealthy families, the Huang family also sells some small wines to ordinary people. The price is not low, but it is indeed good wine. It is in the hands of the Huang family.

"Boss Huang is too modest. The drought in Shandong at the beginning of the month, it is still relying on Boss Huang's generous donations to stabilize the people's hearts for the court." Huai Jun looked at Boss Huang with provocative eyes, and there was something in his words.

At the beginning of the month, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and in the name of King Wang, Boss Huang donated 5 taels of silver to relieve the disaster and won great prestige for Nuoxu. Huaijun was aware of these things.

"Everyone in the court knows that His Highness is willing to do good deeds. The so-called good deeds, we all follow His Highness." Boss An came out to smooth things over.

Boss An's family business is famous for its jade wares. The jade wares in the palace are all bought from An's family. The profit of jade wares is huge, but only the upper-class families play with them. Therefore, among the three rich merchants in the capital, Boss An's financial resources are not as good as money. two people.

"In that case," Huai Jun glanced at the three of them with sharp eyes, and turned to today's topic: "Then why don't the three of you 'follow' my Highness, and choose to assist Wang Wang?"

When the three of them heard this, their bodies froze.

Although they have long been determined to help Nuo Xu, sitting in front of Huai Jun today, it is really hard to say no.Huai Jun was always the prince of this dynasty, and his power was beyond their reach. Of course, they were also worried that Huai Jun would regard him as a thorn in their side and remove them one by one.

However, they have another greater fear, which makes them have to bite the bullet and assist Nuoxu.

"Your Highness has a high position and authority, and we are very light-hearted. How dare we try to help His Highness?" Seeing that Huai Jun's expression changed, Boss An also became trembling. Of course, being short-sighted, he did not believe that Nuo Xu could really eradicate the crown prince and seek to seize the throne. , if it wasn't for that person, he would of course choose to assist Huaijun for the sake of fame and fortune.

Then when Huaijun ascends the throne in the future, he can also win a hero.

But now that man is a knife and he is a fish, what else can he struggle for besides obedient obedience?

"But the three of you are trying to overthrow my highness." Huai Jun said sharply, he has no time to waste with them, nor is he interested in watching them turn around and reject him!

"The villain doesn't dare!" The three said repeatedly, Boss An's face flushed with fright, only Boss Li and Boss Qian looked calmer.

They have spent half their lives working in the mall, and they are all people who are used to big scenes. Although they are being threatened to help Nuo Xu, since they are forced to put all their eggs in one basket, why not try their best to help him, maybe they can really get the rest of their lives. The official luck is prosperous.

"The three are all smart people, just ask for anything you want."

"Huang's request is very simple, but for fame and power." The more forthright Boss Huang relied on the backing of someone behind him, and said bluntly: "But His Highness decided to invite Song Leyu, how will the three of us achieve what we are asking for?"

The Song family's wealth is the highest in the world, if he joins Huai Jun's sect, they will probably be suppressed by Song Leyu, so why not take this opportunity to join Nuo Xu in exchange for a chance for himself.

Humans are full of desires, and they cannot be satisfied with huge wealth, but want both fame and fortune.

"Would it be possible to give it to you just by looking at the king? Don't forget, the prince of this dynasty is still His Highness." Huai Jun reminded them with a smile, but there was strong dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"Yes, but Wang Wang is also the Holy Majesty's biological son." Boss Qian also smiled back at Huai Jun.

Boss An, who was more timid at the side, trembled, and his flushed face faded to pale again. He was sheltered by his family business and only knew how to appreciate jade. He was not as good as Qian and Huang. Why dare to speak to Huai Jun like this.

"Boss Qian's words are true, and His Highness is not too hard on others." He stood up, patted his sleeves, and before turning to leave, he narrowed his eyes and warned them: "Let's just see who decides the outcome, and let's see who decides the outcome." Looking forward to the future of the three, I will never regret it!"

Huai Jun left the Tianzi No. [-] room of the inn, and when he turned and walked down the stairs, a guard was waiting for him, and he ordered him a few words in a low voice before leaving.

After seeing Huai Jun leave, Boss An softened his body, his brow covered with cold sweat. As for Qian and Huang, they glanced at him, then drank tea leisurely and talked about their recent business.

Business has always been risky, although they put all their eggs in one basket, but Huai Jun came to them, which is enough to prove that Huai Jun is not sure of success, so this risk may not be impossible to take.

A strong fragrance of tea lingered in the Renfu Palace. Nianyu, the girl, snuggled up comfortably in Dong Jing's arms and fell asleep under the fragrance of tea. The handsome man - Nuo Xu.

Nuo Xu is a tea lover, and the tea he makes is the best in the palace, but anyone with a discerning eye understands that it is rare for him to come to Renfu Palace, and it is definitely not as simple as coming to make tea.

"I heard from people in the palace that Nianyu is very good at crying, and now it seems that she is quite obedient." Nuo Xu suddenly started gossip with Dong Jing, the person he is waiting for is Huai Jun, there is no need to confront Dong Jing face up.

"It happens to be her nap time, and she will cry when she wakes up later." Dong Jing replied restrainedly.

Although she knew that Nuo Xu's intentions in coming here were not pure, but she was born in the family of a general, and she didn't know how to play tricks, so she couldn't guess Nuo Xu's real intentions, and she didn't know how to deal with him, so she had to sit here and wait Follow Huaijun back.

"Children love to cry. I don't know when your sister-in-law will give birth to a baby for me."

"At that time, Nianyu will have one more playmate." She said politely.

But after a long time, Dong Jing suddenly remembered that she longed for freedom before entering the palace. At that time, she didn't know scheming, and she didn't want to understand these open and secret struggles. But after staying in such a palace for a long time, people will indeed change. She learns to do whatever it takes to get what she wants.

"It's a good thing to have a playmate when I was young." Nuo Xu said inscrutably, and then suddenly smiled: "The third brother also has a playmate who grew up together, and their relationship is better than my brother."

"Really?" Dong Jing's heart suddenly became uneasy, and she said nervously, "But I never heard of this person in the palace."

"He left the palace." He took a sip of tea, and dropped a sentence like dynamite in his mouth with the fragrance of tea: "When you got married three years ago, he left the palace."

These words really made Dong Jing restless. She remembered that night, the person Huai Jun kept calling out in his sleep——Pu Er, who earnestly begged this person not to leave. Was Huai Jun reluctant to let him go even in his dream?

Is it Nuo Xu's playmate who grew up with Huai Jun?

Her heart ached, and jealousy clogged her whole chest, which in turn caused countless vicious thoughts to arise in her mind.

A series of heavy footsteps interrupted the various thoughts that were churning in her mind at the moment, she looked up, and it was Huai Jun who had returned.

Huai Jun took a sharp look at Nuo Xu, then turned around and said to Dong Jing, "Brother Emperor is here, why didn't you send someone to notify His Highness?"

"His Royal Highness has a lot of important things to do, but this king has a lot of leisure, so why not wait?"

"Jing'er, I have important matters to discuss with the eldest brother, you and Nianyu go back to the bedroom first."

"Yes." After saying that, Dong Jing hugged Nianyu and left. Before leaving, she took another look at Huai Jun with mixed feelings in her heart.

At this moment, the remaining two people in the hall were relatively silent. Nuo Xu poured two cups of tea, one of which was pushed towards Huai Jun who was seated next to him, but Huai Jun pushed the tea away.

The visitor was not kind, Nuo Xu would not come here for nothing, the anger of being rejected by the three rich businessmen just now was still in his heart, which made him even less in the mood to see Nuo Xu's play.

The offer was rejected, Nuo Xu just shrugged and didn't care about it.

"What was the result?" He asked knowingly, it was a good thing to be able to dampen Huai Jun's spirit, and the cup of tea was to congratulate Huai Jun for returning in vain.

The inside and outside of the palace are full of wires, Huai Jun is not surprised that Nuoxu learned that he met the three rich merchants today, but he can't see that Nuoxu has a winning ticket, let alone that the three rich merchants don't sell him the account of the prince !

A sternness flashed in his eyes, he would let them understand that today's decision was wrong, and they would regret it.

"Brother Dahuang has found three good helpers, but what if you have the three of them? Brother Dahuang, your plans will not come true."

"Really? So can His Royal Highness' wish come true?" Nuo Xu, who was in a good mood, chuckled, "If you can't get both fish and bear's paws, I'm afraid it will be boring, right?"

He knew that now Huaijun was angry. They had been fighting for the past three years. What Nuoxu was looking for was an opportunity. What Huaijun did was to prevent Nuoxu from getting this opportunity. Jun's private meeting with the three wealthy businessmen proved his fear!

Nuo Xu is very satisfied with this situation. Compared with Huai Jun's fame, his strength is enough for him to seize this opportunity!

Winners and losers, they will not let themselves fail.

"I'm sorry, brother, please worry about it." Huai Jun, who was stabbed in the pain of the heart, just said lightly.

But he suddenly thought melancholy in his heart, even if Chen Pu came back, would he be willing to stay by his side?

"Don't worry, my king is indeed very leisurely recently."

As a result, the leisurely Nuo Xu sat in the Renfu Palace for nearly half a day, chatting with Huai Jun carelessly, and the words of the two were full of bones, tit for tat.Huai Jun didn't want to talk to Nuo Xu at first, but Nuo Xu didn't intend to let Huai Jun go, as if he wanted to keep him.

At dusk, Nuo Xu left Renfu Palace with a stomach full of tea.

After he left, Huai Jun was left alone in the hall. At this time, Huai Jun's heart became more and more melancholy. On the one hand, he was worried that Nuo Xu's power would continue to grow, and on the other hand, he was worried that Min Xuan, who was in Yangzhou, would not be able to invite Song Leyu. , he was most worried about Chen Pu's whereabouts.

He thought about it, and finally went to the library, wrote a letter, and ordered someone to deliver it to Min Xuan immediately.

On the other hand, when Nuo Xu returned to Shangyang Palace, he unexpectedly received a letter.He thought it was from Mo Huichuan, but when he opened the letter and saw the familiar handwriting inside, a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.

This is Fan Shaoqian's handwriting. There are only three words on the letter: "I'm sorry."

The person he has cared about for a long time, after 13 years of separation, why should he write such a letter to him at this moment?What is he sorry for?Where are others?How is he doing at the moment?

Nuo Xu didn't know if Fan Shaoqian was doing well, but he just wanted to tell him that he was not doing well at all.

Bits of the past came to mind, and Nuo Xu, who was in a good mood, drank all night and was in a trance.

His life is not good, this is something people in the palace don't understand, he doesn't want Mo Huichuan to understand; his life is not good, only Fan Shaoqian understands from now on.

"Shaoqian, you have to live well for me..." Holding the wine, he repeated what he said ten years ago, "You promised me."

In the middle of the night, news came from Zheng's mansion that Mrs. Zheng Taifu had passed away. Huai Jun dropped the pen and rushed to Zheng's mansion with trembling hands;
