Chapter 247 - You Have Me in Your Midst I Have You in Mine

Time quickly passed into June, and the weather gradually became hot. Huo Zhengquan came back on this day.

And this month, there were two other major events, the Imperial Consort Yun's birthday banquet and the Emperor's request for the Fourth Prince, that milk doll, to become the crown prince.

The former was a happy occasion, while the latter greatly surprised the civil and military officials of the imperial court.

The Rong Family had been declining for many years, and very few disciples had good prospects. There weren't many officials within the imperial court willing to support a newborn baby.

Once the emperor had made his decision, the entire morning court was filled with voices of opposition. A few old officials even planned to kneel on the Chengde Hall to die if the emperor insisted on doing it.

The emperor was angered to the point that he flicked his sleeves and left. Only then did he temporarily put aside the matter of establishing a crown prince.

However, Teng Yu knew that since the Emperor had decided on Fourth Elder, then this matter would definitely not be so simple.

“Have you seen the child?” Inside the Sky Piercing Pavillion, Yin Xu was holding a new batch of goods and picking.

Teng Yu shook his head, he did not want to talk much and asked while holding onto a coral tree: “The quality is better than before.”

Yin Xu did not research on any of these, but he knew that the cost of the new goods were almost 20% lower than before, but the price was not lower than before, so he thought that he would earn a lot if he sold them.

Ever since Xiao Family had escaped from Jiangnan, the business of Sky Piercing Pavillion had been cold for a while. In the past, when the two families cooperated, nearly half of the Sky Piercing Pavillion's supply came from Xiao Family.

For this matter, Zuo Shaotang had no choice but to take action and look for a new partner in Jiangnan.

However, it was not easy to find a long-term stable and cheap merchant. After the Xiao Family had been poured out, that piece of cake overseas was divided up by several clans.

Zuo Shaotang evaluated each and every talent of those families, and even invited people to interview with them a few times, but still failed to find a suitable shop owner. Even if the price was too high, or if their character was not good enough, it would not enter his eyes.

Coincidentally, at that time, Teng Yu's men were preparing to go out to sea and look for the fruit tree that had the shape of a Spirit Nurturing Fruit, when a thought suddenly occurred to Zuo Shaotang, and he prepared to go out to sea by himself.

With the help of Third Prince Mansion, they went through all sorts of procedures extremely quickly. Their first trip was not too far away, and after half a month passed, Zuo Shaotang carefully calculated the cost and benefits and decisively decided to build his own fleet to sea.

When Xiao Family first left, they were unable to take all these things with them, but they could not find anyone to receive them either. As a result, a large group of people and boats were left idle.

In any case, his surname was Xiao, and he was even the main branch. With his back against the mountain of Third Prince Mansion, there were many people who were willing to follow him.

After being looted by Teng Yu, the officials of the Yunjin City were extremely respectful towards the Third Prince. As long as Zuo Shaotang reported his name, he would do the job quickly and well.

With this convenient door, Zuo Shaotang was even more determined to not let himself down by building his own fleet. Hence, when Yin Xu found out about this, Zuo Shaotang's men had already brought back some goods.

And the best part of it, according to convention, was sent to the capital's Sky Piercing Pavillion.

Yin Xu picked some jade for himself and chose a bell for Teng Yu. It was said that it was a new thing from overseas, the timing was convenient, and its shape was beautiful. A bell's price was enough to buy a three-way courtyard in the capital.

“Is there anything else?” You can take whatever you want! ” Yin Xu said with a rich tone.

“What a joke!” Do you have the guts to report your name? There is no aristocratic young master in the capital that I do not know.

The man laughed coldly as he sized him up, “Then I am truly sorry. I can't tell who you are!”

“Hmph, that's because you have eyes but are blind. In the future, the entire world will belong to my nephew. You dare to snatch things from me, don't you think your life is too long!”

“Yoh, so it's someone from Rong Family, he's really a country bumpkin. If you don't have that much face, don't come here and act like a fatty, in this current world, any poor family would dare to jump out and clamor!”

When Yin Xu walked closer, he realized that the two looked to be of similar age, both had the face of hedonistic sons, and it could not be said that they were more reasonable.

Teng Yu went close to his ear and said: “The one dressed in white is the youngest son of Rong Family, and the one dressed in purple is the youngest son of Yun Family.”

Yin Xu realised, one was the one who was looking for trouble at the city gate while the other one was the one you schemed against before?

“Don't make it sound so bad. Who was plotting against him?”

Yin Xu laughed, “Since they are the other party, we can just let them bite.” Yin Xu summoned a shop assistant over to say a few words to him, then stood to the side to watch the show.

Yun Family and Rong Family could be said to be the true opponents for you. Originally, the people from Yun Family thought that the position of crown prince would definitely belong to the First Prince, yet in the middle of the process, a Rong Family appeared and took away something that belonged to Yun Family without doing anything. How could the people from Yun Family not hate this?

Taking advantage of Imperial Consort Yun's birthday this time, the people from the Yun Family came back from the northeast. It was just that this time, Yun Heran came back to be low-key, and wasn't as flamboyant as before.

Everyone knew that Yun Family was not a good thing now. Maybe the Emperor would actually use his Yun Family to attack him for the sake of his beloved little son.

It wasn't like he hadn't done this before, for a person who knew about Liu Family's situation back then would be able to think of many similar scenes.

Just as the two young masters were at a loss over what to do, a waiter quickly stepped forward to reconcile, “Masters, this item is not considered good, and there's no need to hurt our relationship because of this. How about one of you step back and let me introduce you to something else?”

These words seemed to make a lot of sense. All of the guests felt that this shop assistant was quite quick-witted.

However, no matter if it was the Rong Family Young Master or the other person, both of them burst out in true flames, “Just him, is worthy for this Young Master to take a step back? “Don't even think about it!”

“Then... Esteemed lords, there is only one copy of the Spring Pavilion's booklet left. Who do you think I should give it to? “

The people around them roared with laughter, and only now did they realize that the two young masters were actually fighting over a book about the Palace of Spring.

However, all the experienced people knew that the palace paintings on the Sky Piercing Pavillion were all of high quality. Not only were the paintings excellent and the characters beautiful, even the postures were novel and very collectible.

“Of course it's for this young master!” The two of them spoke in unison.

The shop assistant looked around awkwardly, “But there's only one thing ...”

“This young master offers three times the price!”

Young Master Yun Family laughed coldly, “A poor family is a poor family, they will pay ten times the price.”

Yin Xu blinked his eyes and laughed happily. It seems that not only can I watch the show today, I can also earn a lot from it.
