Chapter 71 Thinking better

"Oh, don't worry, I will make arrangements for you when the time comes. Please sit down first!"

Feng Yi walked over slowly and sat on the stool next to him, motioning for Jiang Yunshang to sit down first as well.

Jiang Yunshang was not polite to him, but after hesitating for a moment, he sat down opposite him.

"Your Majesty, what you mean is that the matter is not that urgent yet. In other words, can you wait for a few more days before coming back?"

It's not that she misunderstood, it was Feng Yi's words that made people understand him so well.

"No, I want you to learn some etiquette here first."

Unexpectedly, Feng Yi replied like this.

Not only did Xiao Yun, who was following him, open his mouth in surprise when he heard this, Jiang Yunshang also didn't understand. She was a good business person, so what etiquette should she learn from him?

"Your Majesty, are there many rules and etiquette that need to be followed on this hunting day?

If it's too complicated and troublesome, then the folk girl won't participate. After all, I'm not a smart person, and I can't just learn anything."

Jiang Yunshang does not think that he is not talented enough to learn these things.

But she attaches great importance to the necessity of learning things. Learning such things only makes sense if they can be put to use.

If she can easily learn something she doesn't need, even if it doesn't take much effort, she feels it is a waste of time.

"No, learning etiquette is for going to the palace. What you need to learn on hunting day is horseback riding and archery. I also think you need to prepare for these things in advance."

When Feng Yi arrived, he shook his head slightly and said this situation.

Jiang Yunshang couldn't understand what he said, and he asked Feng Yi directly in confusion: "No, isn't this hunting in the mountains? Why go to the palace?

How can I, a commoner's daughter, go to the palace, and why should I go to the palace?"

"Of course the hunting is in the mountains, but the preparation required for hunting is in the palace."

Feng Yi didn't do any deception, and explained to her the need to learn these etiquette and the reason for entering the palace.

"This..., isn't there a lot of people in the palace? And hunting days used to be arranged by the palace itself. What can I know about this area? I won't miss everyone's business if I get in trouble. If I get into trouble, will I?

Will it bring trouble to the prince?"

The more Jiang Yunshang listened, the more outrageous she felt. The manager had already begun to retreat silently. He also asked Feng Yi in advance whether he would keep her safe if she had to go.

"No, you can't cause trouble. I believe in your ability." But Feng Yi didn't give her any guarantee. Instead, he said he believed she had the ability.

Hearing this, Jiang Yunshang secretly sneered in her heart.

In other words, if she really goes, her life or death may depend on her fate, and no one can give her any promises or guarantees.

"In previous years, these activities organized by the palace were all arranged by the queen and the queen mother. This year, the queen mother's health is not as good as before and she cannot do these things.

The queen has also been bedridden for the past few days and cannot afford such a tiring task."

Feng Yi saw Jiang Yunshang just holding a tea cup and drinking tea quietly there without making any statement, just talking about who was handling the events in the palace in the past.

"Oh, doesn't the emperor still have many concubines who can do these things? You don't necessarily need me as an outsider to do it, right?"

Why does this sound so outrageous? How could there be so many people in the palace unable to handle such things?

Even if the emperor's woman is unwilling to do this, wouldn't there still be a bunch of ministers?

These ministers always receive salaries from the emperor, and you are usually very busy. Isn't it right to arrange some things for them?

"The emperor is a very dedicated person. He only favors the queen. Although there are false concubines in the harem, they are all like cold concubines. They cannot afford such a big task."

Feng Yi can still find the reason.

Jiang Yunshang has never been to the palace and doesn't know much about the palace.

But she knew the Emperor somewhat, and was not as devoted as Feng Yi said.

Not to mention that she understood, after all, she had never seen the emperor's true face, but the rumors about him outside were not very good.

Besides, if he was really a wise king, a responsible and capable king, how could he let the great power of the court fall into Feng Yi's hands?

"The reason why this king asked you to go to the palace to help host this event is because of you.

After all, you are responsible for all the funds for this event. If you personally host the event, you will know where to save and where to spend money, so you will definitely save a lot of unnecessary waste."

Feng Yi saw Jiang Yunshang still lowering his head silently and saying nothing, but he said something like this again.

"It sounds like it's really good for me, but why do I feel like this is even more embarrassing?"

Jiang Yunshang finally understood the situation, but also showed a helpless smile.

After hearing her words, Feng Yi nodded slightly and asked, "How do you say this?"

"It's very simple. If this matter is completely handled by me, if the things I buy are too expensive, it means that the cost is unclear, and it is extravagant. It looks too extravagant.

If I buy it cheaply, it will look cheap, inferior, and not worthy of the civil and military status of the Manchu Dynasty, so it seems that it will be very difficult for me no matter what I do."

Jiang Yunshang explained with a troubled smile.

"With this king here, I will guide you on how to do it well?"

Feng Yi saw that she was so worried, but he also comforted her.

After hearing her comfort, Jiang Yunshang showed a little smile. Although he was still a little helpless, at least if he would take care of it, the matter would not be so complicated.

"You are in business, so you should think better of it. The palace spends a lot of money every year.

If this event is done well, it will definitely bring you a lot of business, including orders from the palace, which will be very beneficial to you."

Feng Yi saw that she was still unhappy, so she mentioned this situation again.

"Isn't it because I still get no money every time? I can't afford to support a palace."

Because it was just her and Feng Yi here at the moment, Jiang Yunshang was not so scrupulous about talking.

And when she said this, she paused for a moment, and then said to Feng Yi: "Your Majesty, I regretted it. Can I return those two people to you and ruin our agreement?"

"Can you play chess?" Feng Yi asked her back with a smile instead of drawing.

"I know what the prince means. Aren't I asking the prince? I have no regrets if I make a mistake. But if I fall down, can I ask the prince for his opinion and make me regret it?"

Jiang Yunshang looked up at Feng Yi and asked with a smile on her face.
