Listening to the discussions of the adults watching the game, Zhang Yue's lips curled up slightly, and she was secretly happy. It seemed that her clothes had already made her famous among the dignitaries!
And, she believes, this visibility will soon become more widespread.
At that time, she can take advantage of this craze to completely establish her reputation as a lover.
She is very satisfied with this effect, and she just wants to conquer everyone with her clothes!
Bai Zhancheng, who was hiding in the dark, watched the costume competition coldly, and Zhang Yue's proud expression caught his eye.
This woman is really flamboyant and doesn’t know how to be low-key at all!
But why couldn't he take his eyes away from her?
Those who have the same worries are Yu Xilin and Zhao Qian who are walking on the stage.
The difference was that the two of them were so amazed by Lin Xiao's women's clothing that their hearts beat wildly, and they once wondered if there was something wrong with their orientation.
There was no suspense in this clothing competition. The clothing designed by Zhang Yue won with an overwhelming advantage.
Emperor Li Yuquan smiled happily and commended Zhang Yue.
Not only did Zhang Yue and her daughter receive official status, but they also set up Ai Lv Shi as a royal clothing store and would place purchase orders with Ai Lv Shi on a regular basis.
This made Zhang Yue and Lin Xiao very excited.
Esther followed the advice given by Lin Xiao and told the emperor that their navigation map was suddenly lost and they could not return to Yinglai.
Emperor Li Yuquan, who was very happy, waved his hand directly:
"If you can't go back, just settle down in our Daxia Dynasty! How about I get you a business registration?"
Esther and others are grateful and kneel down to express gratitude!
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad.
While Lin Xiao and others were happy, Prime Minister Wang Tuo was not happy!
He never expected that Envoy Yinglai would stay in the Great Xia Dynasty and would not return to Yinglai. How could he get in touch with the queen of Yinglai?
And that string of pearl necklaces the size of longan eyes, isn’t it useless?
The more Wang Tuo thought about it, the angrier he became and he wanted to kill those people right now.
But they are now subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty and should not act rashly.
He had no choice but to vent all his anger on Zhao Qian.
"Why was the nautical map lost? Who stole it?!"
Zhao Qian said with an aggrieved look:
"This is none of my business. I don't know why their map was lost."
"Why is it none of your business? Tell me, who did it?"
Wang Tuo roared angrily.
"Uncle, I really don't know! Or, maybe they don't have any navigation map at all! They are not envoys from England at all!"
Zhao Qian hurriedly defended.
"Fart! If they were not Yinglai's envoys, how could they wear such weird clothes? How could they speak those bird songs? Say! Who else has been to the inn besides you?!"
Zhao Qian was startled by Wang Tuo's roar. He felt panicked and subconsciously concealed it for Lin Xiao:
"How about I go check it out?"
"Check! Check everything for me! I want to see who ruined my good deeds!"
Wang Tuo shouted angrily, his face extremely ugly.
"Yes! I'll check it out right away!"
Zhao Qian did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly agreed and left the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry.
Bai Zhancheng and Luo Ping, who were secretly observing, couldn't help but feel happy when they saw Zhao Qian running away in embarrassment.
"Have the old man's shop arrangements been made?"
Bai Zhancheng asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, my subordinates have made arrangements, and they should all be burned to ashes now!"
…
On the first day of the seventh lunar month, Zhang Yue, her daughter, Esther and others became the real people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhang Yue’s love products have become royal selections and products for the royal family.
Eight shops in the capital suddenly caught fire and were reduced to ashes.
After investigation, it was found that these eight shops were all properties of Wang Tuo, the prime minister of the dynasty!
Wang Tuo was so angry that his face immediately deformed:
“Who did it?!”
"Uncle, I think the person who did this and the person who stole the navigation map are the same group!"
Zhao Qian was worried about how to help Lin Xiao get rid of the suspicion, and this time was an opportunity.
"how do I say this?"
Wang Tuo asked with a frown.
"It's very simple. They came just for you, uncle. Otherwise, they wouldn't have opposed you everywhere. First they stole the navigation map and prevented the envoys from visiting Yinglai. Then they burned down all your shops. The goal is
To lure you into taking the bait!"
Zhao Qian said righteously.
"Who is the one?"
Wang Tuo nodded and muttered to himself, with a ferocious look on his face:
"Hmph! How dare you disturb Tai Sui! Zhao Qian, I order you to investigate this matter for me!"
"As you command!"
Zhao Qian bowed and accepted the order.
…
Kyushu Villa.
"Did you really burn down all the property of that old man Wang Tuo?"
Li Yuyan looked at Bai Zhancheng in surprise.
"That's right!"
Bai Zhancheng smiled, looking cunning and cunning:
"Not only did I burn down eight of his shops, but I also looted all the silver in them."
"Actually, you don't need to do this. We now rely on selling salt, and our daily profits are astonishingly high, which is enough for military expenses!"
Li Yuyan said.
"No matter how small a fly is, it's still meat!"
Bai Zhancheng waved his hand:
"Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not control wealth, Lord Ninth Prince, you cannot be kind to women!"
After listening to Bai Zhancheng's words, Li Yuyan was slightly silent. After a long time, he sighed and said:
"I'm not a womanly person, I'm just afraid of disturbing others."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I am a Qing'er here!"
Bai Zhancheng pointed to his head and said mysteriously.
"Wang Tuo, this old fox, is very cunning. We must be extremely careful in everything we do and we must not take it lightly!"
Li Yuyan said solemnly.
"Yeah, I understand."
Bai Zhancheng nodded and changed the subject:
"When I go back to the capital, guess who I saw?"
"Lin Xiao?"
Although Li Yuyan was not in Linjia Village, he still knew everything about Lin Xiao's whereabouts.
Gao Jin is a man who can't control things with his words. When Li Yuyan sent Liu Yong to build roads, Gao Jin was particularly curious about Li Yuyan's identity and often found trouble to chat with Liu Yong.
In addition, Li Yuyan often sent Liu Yong to his brother's workshop to get salt. After going back and forth, Gao Jin and Liu Yong became brothers who talked about everything.
Therefore, every time Liu Yong went back to Jiuzhou Hospital to report the situation to Li Yuyan, he would always talk about what Gao Jin had told him.
Basically, they are all trivial matters in Linjia Village, but there is also some news about Lin Xiao.
For example, Li Yuyan had already heard about Lin Xiao staying in the capital to filter salt for the prince.
"You know your sick husband's current situation very well!"
Bai Zhancheng joked.
"I heard it all from Liu Yong."
Li Yuyan's calm explanation made Bai Zhancheng feel bored.
He curled his lips and said:
"Then do you know what your husband-in-law is doing in the capital?"
"Aren't you filtering salt for others?"
"Of course not! I saw him dressing up as a woman, wearing new clothes designed by Hermes, and showing them to others in public!"
