38. Chapter 38 The emperor's power is more than one or two [1]
Therefore, Biyun made a decisive decision and pinched Ye Jiangxue's waist hard.
"Hiss--" Ye Jiangxue immediately stopped her saliva, thinking to herself, lovely golds, wait for me, I really love you!
"Your Majesty?" Shen Huanyan called softly when she saw that her delicate face was as wrinkled as a bun.
"Ahem..."
Ye Jiangxue cleared her throat, stood up from the dragon chair, straightened her clothes and shoes, and then slowly sat down.
When she sat down, her long eyelashes were slightly raised, and her bright eyes were like the thin snow on the first moon, and she didn't look like she was just half-convulsed.
At that moment, Shen Huanyan's back stiffened. She had been in shopping malls for a long time and was rich and powerful, so her ability to observe people's emotions was naturally very strong.
"Mrs. Shen, flat body."
Ye Jiangxue called her Mrs. Shen instead of Mrs. Bai. Others might not care much about this difference, but for a smart person like Shen Huanyan, the hidden meaning was enough to make her dare not look down upon Ye Jiangxue. Half a minute.
Shen Huanyan raised her eyes and stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Jiangxue raised her hand to take the memorial she submitted, and touched the ink and gold text on it with her fingertips. Then, just as Shen Huanyan was thinking about what she wanted to say next, the empress slightly raised her bright eyes and smiled. , the voice was light and moving: "Mrs. Shen is the richest man in the Southern Jin Dynasty. She has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for many years. Is this visit to the imperial capital just for my enthronement?"
"Of course, I—" "Yes?"
A long and faint sound cut off Shen Huanyan's words. She looked at the noble girl sitting on the dragon throne and saw a slight smile on her beautiful face. Her eyes were clear and innocent, but there was a deep smile. It seemed... OK See through people's hearts.
Shen Huanyan's heart suddenly moved, and Yingying bowed again: "I am here to ask for something."
"It just so happens that I also have something to ask Mrs. Shen for help." Ye Jiangxue blinked and suddenly smiled: "Maybe we are talking about the same thing."
"Concubine..." Shen Huanyan lowered her head. She and Ye Jiangxue had only exchanged a few words, but her heart was beating very fast, "I would like to request your Majesty to hand over the salt fields in Yangzhou to mine for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial study became quiet.
The salt industry has huge benefits and is vital to the life of the country. Throughout the dynasties, the imperial court has sent people to supervise, mine and sell the salt. If someone is smuggling it among the people, even if it is only a pound and a half, they will die.
Now, Shen Huanyan dares to ask Ye Jiangxue to give up the Yanfu mining rights - seriously, how audacious!
After Biyun was startled, she immediately looked at Ye Jiangxue, and saw that her expression remained unchanged, and she even bent her eyes with a smile. But Biyun knew that in those thin eyes, a huge wave had already rolled up!
Slowly, Ye Jiangxue put down the notebook she was playing with, held her chin with one hand, and smiled obliquely at Shen Huanyan: "Yangfu in Yangzhou...heh, Mrs. Shen will really give me problems."
When she said this, Shen Huanyan raised her head, and for a moment, she swore she saw a cold light in the girl's eyes.
While in awe, she was as clear as a mirror. This business was actually very easy to negotiate because Ye Jiangxue was a truly smart emperor.
