Chapter 641: The Crown Prince’s Concubine…is gone
Cining Palace.
After hearing the Queen Mother mention tea, Xu Rou finally had a say again.
"Aunt, don't even think about going to Ningyuxuan to get it for free. The Queen said that anyone who wants to drink must pay for it."
"I don't think it's a big deal... just pay for it."
The thing the Queen Mother lacks the least is money.
None of her children were close to her, and she had no intention of giving the money to any of them.
So now as long as she can use it, she won't feel bad about spending money to buy it.
"The tea costs twenty taels of silver per pound."
Xu Rou muttered.
"Twenty taels? Why doesn't she just go and rob?"
The Queen Mother, like Xu Rou, was surprised when she heard the price.
She also managed the affairs of the harem for many years.
But in all these years, she had never heard of such expensive tea.
"That's right, Auntie, you don't know that the tea is made from the Emperor's tea plantation and is only sold in the Queen's restaurant."
The Queen Mother also knew how partial the Emperor was to the Queen.
So she just hated him secretly in her heart, but did not show any excitement.
"Aunt, this tea belongs to the emperor's cousin, he should honor you..."
Xu Rou felt that if the empress dowager asked the emperor for it, the emperor would definitely give it to her.
If the Emperor gave the Empress Dowager tea, there would definitely be a lot of it.
Maybe her aunt would be kind enough to give her some.
If her aunt paid for it...
Her aunt is just such a stingy person.
Even if I bought it, I might not be willing to make a bowl of it for her.
Regarding asking the emperor for tea.
The Queen Mother felt that she did not have that much face.
She knew very well how much his son disliked her.
"Jiu'er, go get twenty taels of silver."
The Queen Mother thought about it and decided that she should just buy it with her own money.
"Aunt, twenty taels of silver can only buy one jin."
Xu Rou reminded the Queen Mother.
"One pound is already a lot."
The Queen Mother was now impatient to listen to Xu Rou.
Every word she said was meant to make me buy her a copy.
It was good enough that she spent money to buy it for them to drink.
Such a precious thing, buying one more will cost twenty taels of silver.
Besides, Shi Cairen is still here.
If she bought it for Rouer, would she just let this talented Shi watch?
"Madam Liu, go to Ningyuxuan and tell her that you bought this tea for me."
The Empress Dowager specifically instructed Nanny Liu.
If the queen was sensible, she would not accept her money.
After all, she is still the queen's mother-in-law.
If she accepts the money, she will be poked in the back by others.
Is Huang Ye someone who is afraid of having his back poked?
That must not be the case.
So when Nanny Liu came to Ningyuxuan with silver to buy tea for the Empress Dowager.
She also specifically instructed Nanny Liu.
"Madam, go back and tell the Empress Dowager that this tea is hard to come by and I don't have much left."
Nanny Liu definitely understands and supports the Queen.
"Don't worry, Queen, I will remember all these words and I promise not to embarrass you."
What she meant was that the Queen Mother could only buy it this time.
If the Queen doesn’t have any on hand, then there will be no Empress Dowager, right?
"Madam, you should also remind the Queen Mother that this kind of tea can only be purchased for one kilogram at Tianxia Diyilou outside the palace if you spend at least five hundred taels of silver."
Huang Ye instructed Aunt Liu.
She is now busy designing the shops on the snack street and has no time to argue with the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother probably still thought that she would give her tea for nothing.
How could she be as beautiful as she thought?
After returning to Ningyuxuan, Nanny Liu repeated the Queen's words to the Queen Mother word for word.
"Her Majesty, the Queen said that she doesn't have much of this tea left, not even enough for herself."
"She's talking nonsense. The emperor gave her all the tea from that tea plantation. How could she not have any?"
Neither Xu Rou nor Shi Yaoyao left.
They were all waiting here, waiting to see how much tea Madam Liu could bring back.
If the queen is generous, she will give a few pounds to the queen mother...
Who knows, the Queen Mother might give them some rewards.
They didn't expect that Madam Liu only brought back a pound of tea and even charged silver for it.
This made Xu Rou even more indignant.
"Aunt, let's report this to the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely reprimand the Empress for being so unfilial."
The Queen Mother was too lazy to pay attention to her stupid niece.
If the emperor was truly filial, he would have sent the tea long ago. Would she still need to spend money to buy it?
Xu Rou was only concerned with speaking her mind.
After she finished speaking, she realized that everything she said was in vain.
"Aunt, I also like to drink these teas. Can you give me some?"
She looked at the Queen Mother flatteringly and said.
"Didn't you hear what Aunt Liu said? They won't sell this tea to me anymore. This is not even enough for me to drink."
Jiuer just made a bowl of this tea and she tasted it as well.
Needless to say, she immediately fell in love with the taste.
"Then when we come over next time, you can give us this tea to drink."
Xu Rou retreated and asked for the next best thing.
The Queen Mother's anger was suddenly aroused by Xu Rou's words.
"Isn't it just twenty taels of silver? You have it, so why do you have to be so petty?"
She was so angry that she slammed the table and yelled at Xu Rou.
It’s not that the Queen Mother was reluctant to let Xu Rou drink this kind of tea.
She couldn't bear to see Xu Rou's lack of ambition.
"Aunt, why are you so angry? You know that when I entered the palace, no one in my family gave me money..."
Xu Rou grumbled unconvinced.
Let’s not talk about the bad things that happened in the Cining Palace.
Ningyuxuan.
Today is the day that Hongge and his friends are going to Nanzhao.
When Huang Ye returned home, he had already explained everything that needed to be explained.
So she didn't worry about them.
She is now busy designing the storefront for the snack street.
Some time ago, Xiao Zhao bought that street.
It was a not very long street, with houses of various sizes on both sides of the street, about fifty in total.
Huang Ye designed the first batch of drawings based on the size of the house brought into the palace by the prince, and construction has already begun.
The first batch of people that the old man helped buy have already been settled, and Green Bean is also training them.
All these things cannot be accomplished in just two or three days.
Huang Ye estimated that even if they moved as fast as possible, the snack street would not be open for business within two months.
Now she doesn't have to pursue speed, but she wants to do this thing to perfection.
After all, if this snack street is successful, she will promote it throughout Daxia.
Just when Huang Ye was concentrating on drawing the blueprint, Xiao Yinzi came to Ning Yuxuan in person.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's Consort in Prince Fu's Mansion is gone."
When Xiao Yinzi said these words, she actually felt happy in her heart.
He also knew about the feud between the Queen and the Crown Prince's Consort from Prince Fu's Mansion.
He said that the vicious woman should have died long ago.
