Chapter 324 Reluctant
The emperor sat on the first seat with his heavy body, and the empress handed the paper that Zhao Fangyu had just presented to the emperor.
There were a lot of things written densely on the paper. Zhao Fangyu wrote in small calligraphy with flowers in his hair, which was elegant and beautiful. He even drew the blueprint of the glassware for making the scented dew.
On a few pieces of paper, the process of making the perfume is clearly written.
The emperor quickly read through the contents on the paper, and it took him a long time to put the letter down.
A pair of slightly cloudy eyes slowly stared at Zhao Fangyu. Zhao Fangyu still looked docile, like a harmless cat slave.
Zhao Fangyu was wearing a brocade dress. The emperor knew that she was pretty and the third prince was also thinking about her. Originally, the emperor felt a little sorry that he did not agree to the third prince's request for Zhao Fangyu. Now, looking back, he found that Zhao Fangyu was really a woman that the third prince could not resist.
Her family business started from the perfume business, but now he has increased taxes on the spice industry, and her perfume business has little profit and will not be able to continue in the long run.
She originally thought that this move would disperse the officials she had won over at the banquet, but she didn't expect that Zhao Fangyu would actually hand over the method of making the fragrant dew that sustained her life and property!
The emperor's eyes moved back and forth on Zhao Fangyu, as if he wanted to see through her dark hair and see what she was thinking in her heart.
The emperor went over the idea in his mind but couldn't figure out the benefit of Zhao Fangyu's move.
But Zhao Fangyu started her career as a businessman, and no one would do business without profit. The emperor did not believe that she would be willing to do business at a loss.
"Why... do you want to present the recipe for making perfumed dew to the emperor?"
The emperor asked the question, but his eyes were fixed on the queen like a hawk. The queen remained unmoved and her face showed the same surprise as his.
The empress and the emperor have been husband and wife for decades, and they can be said to be the people who know each other best besides their parents.
The queen knew that the emperor was suspicious of her, but at this time even she was kept in the dark by Zhao Fangyu, so naturally it had nothing to do with her.
"Speaking of which, I am also curious and was just about to ask."
Zhao Fangyu stepped down from the armchair, stood in the hall, crossed his hands, bowed, and then said: "In the past, I was ignorant and didn't know how to help my father solve his problems."
"This method of making fragrant dew was obtained by chance. Now this method has brought countless gold and silver to me. I am willing to hand it over to you, father, to benefit the people of the world and let them feel your grace. This is what I want."
Zhao Fangyu came from the imperial court and knew the emperor's habits. Now he always said good things about him. Even though the emperor was suspicious, he was happy in his heart.
Zhao Fangyu was not an ignorant woman or child. She had been educated and was able to develop a method of making perfumed dew on her own. Now she was willing to take the initiative to hand over the method to the emperor. All this showed her obedience.
Who would have thought that the next moment, Zhao Fangyu said again: "The method of making the fragrant dew is too complicated and difficult to obtain."
"I once heard you say, 'If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself.' This is what my father taught you when you were young. I have kept it in mind and will never forget it."
"Now that the emperor is here, these are just some strange and lewd techniques that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. However, if I can help the emperor solve his problems, it will be a blessing for me and my husband."
Zhao Fangyu mentioned Zhou Qinghe several times, how could the emperor not understand what she meant?
The somewhat dry fingertips slowly stroked the paper that was still warm.
Are you willing to give it up?
Reluctant.
Zhao Fangyu cut off his tail to survive, and used his own foundation to return Zhou Qinghe to Beijing...
The emperor snorted lightly, as if mocking.
Zhao Fangyu was unmoved and continued to speak softly, "My daughter-in-law doesn't understand many things. She used to rely on her husband, but now she relies on her father and mother. I just hope that her father and mother will not despise her for being stupid and unteachable."
The emperor did not answer and snorted again.
Unexpectedly, Ni'er came running in, threw himself into the emperor's arms and burst into tears: "Father! The pony you gave me is gone!!!"
