Chapter 280 Ah Tu won't dislike me for being old, right?
Chapter 280 Atu won’t dislike me for being old, right?
Princess Jinshu looked at the plate full of golden silk jewelry and felt that it hurt her eyes. They were not as cute as her pair of little clay figurines of tigers.
His Majesty the Emperor is even more noble and cold, as if he is looking at a table of Adu's food.
Wen Xiaotu felt that this was not good. The shopkeeper invited them to the private room with a smile on his face. He also selected the best jewelry and presented it to them, and introduced them one by one.
"Look at the Sendai pavilion on this hairpin. It has two floors inside and outside. It is lifelike! And the pair of temples, the pearls inlaid on them are big and round!" The shopkeeper picked them up one by one and introduced them, but he couldn't help it.
The three distinguished guests were moved and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Wen Xiaotu coughed hurriedly, then picked up a pair of Jade Rabbit Pounded Medicine Earrings, touched them on his ears, and then looked at the couple: "How do you like them? Do they look good?"
The aloof Emperor coughed and said, "You look good, but your earrings don't look good."
Princess Jinshu agreed and nodded.
Wen Xiaotu:......
The shopkeeper's smile was a bit unbearable, but he still maintained a humble attitude: "If you are not satisfied yet, you might as well tell me what you like, and the shop can customize it for you."
Wen Xiaotu then whispered to Congee: "Don't look so bad, pick two pieces for me, even if you take them back to reward others." - We are not trying to cause trouble!
Jin Shu nodded: "Okay." She pointed twice quickly with her bare hands, "This, this, and that pair, wrap them up!"
The shopkeeper's smile suddenly turned into a flower, "Okay! The master and the two ladies will wait a moment. I will ask someone to wrap you up."
As soon as these words came out, it really stung Lou Zi.
Emperor Mingzhao's face instantly disowned his relatives. His eyes were as cold as a knife: "What did you say?!"
The shopkeeper was frightened, and even more at a loss. What did he say wrong? Those two people, with their fragrant hair and fragrant hair on their temples, were so intimate, weren't they sisters? They couldn't possibly be mother and daughter, right?
The lady in front of me is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger one looks to be ten or eight years old!
And this dignified old man looks like the head of the family - isn't he the father of these two girls?
Liang Kunyu, who was standing behind the emperor and pretending to be a housekeeper, glared at the steward: "You have no eyesight, this is my wife!"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, Madam? Although a young woman can also wear her hair in this bun... but has she been filling in for a second wife? Then why are she so close to that little girl who is obviously not her biological child?!
The shopkeeper hurriedly laughed and said, "I am short-sighted. Please forgive me, Madam!"
Wen Xiaotu hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeves and said, "Okay, don't be angry. It's my fault. I happened to have my hair in a misleading bun today."
What Mingzhao was thinking about was that he was still angry but could not let go. Do I look that old?! Am I even old enough to be a father to Atu?!
But the emperor couldn't be unreasonable. The shopkeeper didn't know about it beforehand, so he couldn't express his anger, and his face became more and more ugly. So Ming Zhao stood up and walked away directly.
"Mother..." Jin Shu's eyes widened. She hadn't seen her father look so angry for a long time.
Wen Xiaotu patted the back of Jin Shu's hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then he quickly picked up his skirt and went after His Majesty the Emperor.
The shopkeeper was anxious: "Madam, these pieces of jewelry the young lady chose——"
The eunuch pretending to be a servant took out the banknote and stepped forward, "Stop making such noise!"
"Hey, that's good!" The shopkeeper immediately smiled.
If His Majesty the Emperor is not happy, then the next trip to Changguo Gongyuan will naturally be scrapped, and he will go back to the palace directly.
That face always stinks, as if the whole world owes him.
Wen Xiaotu was helpless, and she didn't mean to do it, but at this moment she could only coax: "How about I don't pretend to be young next time?" - After all, her actual age is in her thirties, and she still dresses like one.
She looks like a little girl, no wonder people misunderstood her.
Ming Zhao took a deep breath, "It's not Ah Tu's fault, it's me... I couldn't hold it back for a moment." - It was a good trip, but in the end, he returned to the palace after only half a day.
But he still felt sour in his heart, I... indeed am no longer young. He couldn't help but hugged the young A'tu into his arms, "A'tu won't dislike me for being old, right?"
Wen Xiaotu muttered: "Not to mention that the emperor is at his peak in the spring and autumn, let alone who in the world will not grow old one day? I will also grow old, so I should worry that when my appearance grows old, the emperor will change his mind again."
After hearing this, Mingzhao ignored his sadness and said seriously: "My heart towards Atu will never change!"
Wen Xiaotu curled his lips. He gave birth to three cubs in three years. How dare he say that he has not changed his mind?
But then again, as long as she was around, the emperor would have no one else beside him.
This is already very rare for an emperor.
Wen Xiaotu was no longer dissatisfied with this, but he was not moved at all.
People's hearts change, let alone men's hearts?
The emperor's treatment of her in this way was unique.
Wen Xiaotu didn't say anything. She lay obediently and quietly on the emperor's chest, listening to his slightly faster heartbeat. Her eyes looked at the window with the embroidery hanging on it. The golden red glow of the sunset filtered in through the window paper.
The light in the palace is dim and antique.
Although this is elegant, it is not as good as glass windows...
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but start thinking about making money again. The ink business she used to run jointly with Xin Ruozhi was now owned by Fanfan, and the cosmetics business she had with her mother's family was now owned by Porridge.
After all, after Wen Rutu died, it was only natural that the inheritance should be given to her children.
Although she didn't mind returning the porridge, porridge and rice, why did she have the nerve to come back?
Moreover, she is now the successor Wen Ruchu, not the sage queen Wen Rutu! How can she covet the legacy of the previous queen?!
Therefore, Wen Xiaotu has long been thinking about starting a few new businesses.
Although she is not very short of money now, the queen is different from the concubines. Even if she is the fourth concubine, her annual salary is only one hundred and twenty taels, while the queen's salary is one thousand taels - gold!
On the surface, the exchange ratio of gold and silver is one to ten, but in fact it is far more than this number. Especially in recent years, the imperial court has promoted the prosperity of overseas trade, which has led to a large inflow of silver, which has indirectly made gold more valuable.
One thousand taels of gold were converted into silver, which was worth almost thirty thousand taels of silver. In other words, her salary doubled... and more!
In fact, it’s far more than enough.
It's just that Wen Xiaotu is greedy and wants to make more private money for himself.
"Well, Your Majesty... I returned to the modern world and specially collected some information that might be useful." Wen Xiaotu then broke free from the emperor's arms, and then conjured up a lot of documents.
"This is the cement formula and manufacturing method. It's for you." Wen Xiaotu said with a generous face, "And this is the historical data of Lianzhu Gun..."
