Although Wu Zhi was also worried that Zhao Ji would punish him because of the insufficient amount of silver.
But the queen has always been protective of Wu Zhi.
By then, with the Queen's help, I guess Zhao Ji won't embarrass myself too much.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi couldn't help but hug the wine jar's right hand tightly.
When Zhao Ji and the queen heard that Wu Zhi had paid their respects, they were extremely happy.
Because last time, Wu Zhi had promised the two of them before leaving.
The sales surplus of 180,000 taels must be presented to Zhao Ji, and enough dew must be presented to the queen.
And this time Wu Zhi took the initiative to visit, presumably he had already brought those two things.
When Wu Zhi entered the minister's study room, he did not exchange any greetings with the two people sitting at the top and directly presented the things he brought this time one by one.
Although the Queen was quite surprised that Wu Zhi put the dew in the wine jar.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel relieved.
After all, in such a wilderness, it is indeed not easy to find a suitable water container.
But when Zhao Ji received the stack of banknotes and examined them carefully, he frowned.
Wu Zhi didn't wait for Zhao Ji to ask questions and immediately revealed the unspeakable secret in his heart.
"Guan Jia, I know that the amount of silver I told you last time was 180,000 taels."
"But this time, I only brought you 135,000 taels."
"But this is the limit that Wei Chen can do."
"As for other profitable silver coins, Weichen invested them in purchasing raw materials and expanding stores."
"After the new store opens, we will be able to double our profits within a year."
"When the time comes, not to mention 180,000 taels of silver, even if it is 300,000 taels, I will never frown."
Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, the queen sitting next to him picked up the conversation first.
"As an official, Mr. Wu is sincere and efficient in his work."
"This time, only the amount of silver was a little less, but what he was thinking about was not himself, but the official family's future financial resources."
"So according to my wishes, the officials should not punish Eunuch Wu."
Zhao Ji turned his head and smiled at the queen.
Then he waved his hand happily towards Wu Zhi.
"That's all. Since the Queen has interceded for you, I have nothing to say."
The Queen immediately smiled after hearing this.
The big, slightly foxy eyes, the delicate, fair little nose, and the slightly plump, flower-like lips.
Immediately, Wu Zhi felt as if a nest of little rabbits had been stuffed into his heart, and he was making a fuss.
After a brief period of confusion, he lowered his head again.
It's not that his ability to resist beauty has increased.
But he knew that if he continued to look at the queen's charming little face at this time, who could guarantee that Zhao Ji would not think of a way to punish him under the surge of jealousy?
At this moment, Zhao Ji, who kept playing with the banknotes in his hand, couldn't help but feel a little unable to sit still.
Because some areas of the newly built garden were not yet covered with calamine.
Now that the silver was in hand, what he wanted in his mind was naturally to arrange his garden more perfectly.
But just as he was about to leave, the queen sitting next to him smiled calmly at Wu Zhi who was sitting below.
"Eunuch Wu, I have prepared all the medicinal materials and asked the imperial doctors in the palace to grind them into powder."
"Now, you have brought this dew again."
"Can you help me remove the wrinkles on my temples later?"
When Zhao Ji heard this, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Because even if he wasn't there, he could guess that the atmosphere at that time must be very ambiguous.
Wouldn't it be inappropriate if the two of them were allowed to have private contact?
However, he felt relieved immediately.
That Wu Zhi is no longer a fully functional man.
Just a father-in-law and a eunuch.
Even if he wanted to do some things, he would be unable to do so at the moment.
Worry too much, worry too much...
Thinking of this, Zhao Ji said hello to the queen and left the minister's study room.
Wu Zhi nodded slowly.
"It's okay, but Wei Chen needs one more thing."
"Are there any eggs in the palace?"
When the queen first heard what Wu Zhi said, she thought she was missing some precious medicinal materials.
"When I heard it was an egg, I immediately covered my lips and started laughing."
"There are plenty of them in the royal kitchen of the palace. Eunuch Wu can have as many as he wants."
Wu Zhi thought about it for a while.
"Then take twenty coins first."
Kunning Palace is located in the sub-center of the entire imperial city and occupies a large area.
This was Wu Zhi's first time here, and he was extremely curious about everything he saw.
It was not the queen who asked to come here, but Wu Zhi told the queen that when treating wrinkles on her face, she must find a place where she can completely relax.
Only in this way can the best therapeutic effect be achieved.
So the queen brought Wu Zhi here.
Fortunately, Wu Zhi was an eunuch. If this were not the case, the queen would never have brought him here.
This is a very ornately decorated interior room.
Indoor, table made of white jade.
Rosewood dressing table, huge bronze mirror, and extremely colorful tassels.
The already very elegant house is decorated with extra exquisiteness.
As soon as Wu Zhi walked in with the queen, he smelled a scent like orchid and musk.
This smell is very similar to the charming scent of the queen.
It is a smell that is refreshing, light and warm.
When the smell suddenly breathed into Wu Zhi's nasal cavity, he even felt that his feet seemed to be a little soft.
Directly opposite the rosewood dressing table, there is a huge rocking chair.
It must have been used by the queen to lie on it and rest whenever she was too tired.
Wu Zhi first asked the queen to remove her somewhat generous palace clothes and sit on the rocking chair wearing only a long coat.
While the queen was removing these clothes, she could not help but hesitate for a moment in her hand movements.
However, when she thought of Wu Zhi's current identity, she felt relieved.
At this time, the queen was lying on the rocking chair, wearing only a red silk gown embroidered with phoenixes.
Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, as if she was resting.
At this time, Wu Zhi sat on a small stool nearby and broke the twenty eggs one by one.
And remove the egg yolk, leaving only the egg white.
Then, he put the egg whites into a large basin and stirred them constantly with a pair of chopsticks.
"Eunuch Wu, do you have any brothers or sisters in your family?"
