Chapter 572 (1/2)
The Qin emperor sighed and said, ”there's no way but to suffer. Who wants those fools of the three holy gates to do so!”
He had a worry in his heart. This time he flattered, he might get on the horse's hoof. Even if childe Ji hasn't seen the world, can't Yuxian see the strangeness? As long as she knows a little, childe Ji must be angry. If we pursue it, the three holy gates will certainly push their sins on their own heads.
But there's no way. He couldn't persuade those fools not to do so last night, so he can only take the blame for them. If he reveals the truth, will childe Ji believe him or believe in him? He was completely unsure.
Childe believes in him. When childe Ji leaves, can the punished three holy gates not settle with him? He's afraid he'll end up as an emperor.
Childe believes in people. The emperor is afraid that he will lose his head today.
His only way is to admit his sin and hope that fairy Yu will intercede.
In this way, he can escape today's disaster. Afterwards, the people of the Sansheng gate will feel ashamed of him and see that he has a friendship with Yu Xianzi. In the future, he will be less constrained in dealing with political affairs.
He was prepared not to retreat and suffer some flesh and blood.
He thought uneasily: should the punishment not be too heavy? Anyway, we also want to please him. It's not easy to play such a play. When the city was under martial law, 100000 Imperial troops were sent out, and 300000 civilian men were sent out to clean the streets. The carpets on the streets were worth 1.5 million taels of silver. The lamp oil used up in one night is worth 100000 liang of silver.
Just from these aspects, childe Ji should be taken lightly.
Yu Qingyao entered the silk and satin shop at will. A group of guys respectfully gave a big gift and said in unison: ”see you, young lady! Welcome!”
Yu Qingyao only glanced and concluded that these guys were all disguised by eunuchs.
Ah Xiu was startled by them and said in surprise, ”eh! Are the merchants of the state of Qin so polite to their guests?”
Li Huaide's face turned green with anger.
The shopkeeper hurriedly came forward with a smile and said, ”yes! We people in the state of Qin pay special attention to etiquette. Do guests want to buy cloth? Coincidentally, today we have a promotion. The first guest to enter the store enjoys a discount. Childe, our goods are the best. We guarantee your satisfaction!”
Yu Qingyao glanced at him and concluded that he was a duty Eunuch in the palace.
Li Huaide's heart Tucao: God make complaints about ninety percent off. Are you a small cheap man? Who are you in the state of Qin to be my son?
Yu Qingyao said with a smile, ”OK! I'll look around first and tell you what I like.”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, ”OK!”
He led Yu Qingyao all the way. The shelves were full of good materials. The shopkeeper's eloquent introduction one by one.
Where did the material come from, how did it be made, what technology was used, and what clothes were suitable for making. He spoke in detail and clearly.
Yu Qingyao thought to herself: this guy is not a eunuch in charge of cloth in the palace, is he?
She listened to the shopkeeper's introduction with great interest. To be honest, it was totally different from the usual feeling of visiting the cloth store. It was like visiting the fabric Museum and being surrounded by a professional guide.
Just watching, several ladies and young ladies came in carefully, pretending that customers were wandering in the store.
They strolled for a long time, but no one in the store came forward to take care of them.
Their eyes were not on the fabric, but turned to childe Ji when they had nothing to do.
Yu Qingyao didn't buy a foot of cloth at last. The fabric is not as good as that given by the Qin emperor. She just appreciates it.
The shopkeeper didn't care and sent them out respectfully.
