She still lacked twenty thousand taels of silver. It wasn't that she couldn't earn that much, but it was just that tonight was too late.
If not, why not find Soong Yiqing now and sell him some good stuff?
Seeing Bai Zheng's expression, Feng Jingyi knew that she was in a difficult situation, so he said: "I do not need the twenty thousand that Miss Su has sent over, Miss Bai, take it."
Bai Zheng raised her head and hurriedly refused: "No, you can't. Bai Zheng disturbed Your Highness for a long time, if not for Your Highness, my cousin would not have been so willing to offer twenty thousand gold just because of me. "
Just as he was about to decline, another green-clothed servant walked in and whispered a few words to the steward.
The steward's face revealed a shocked expression. He solemnly sized Bai Zheng up a few times before finally taking another smaller gold spindle from the green-clothed servant.
"My boss said that the treasures that Miss Bai is auctioning can benefit tens of thousands of citizens, and furthermore, my Treasure-collecting Tower has brought about unprecedented popularity and fame. My boss thanks Miss Bai on behalf of all the scholars in the world, as well as for Treasure-collecting Tower."
As she said that, she raised the gold spindle in her hand high and bowed, "Today's profit, my Treasure-collecting Tower will not be taken. Please accept this, Miss Bai."
Bai Zheng was surprised, her gaze swept over the steward and servants' bodies, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and received the gold ingot with her hands.
"No wonder Treasure-collecting Tower is so strong after three dynasties, it turns out that there is such a benevolent, righteous, and wise boss with long term eyes. I wonder if Boss would like to honor me, Bai Zheng wanted to personally pay her respects and thank you. "
The manager had an amiable smile on his face as he said, "I'll go ask the boss." With that, he bowed and retreated step by step.
Bai Zheng looked at the gold ingots in her hands, one big and one small, no one had gotten up when the manager came in, no one knew what happened. But there were too many people who were interested in paper making. There would always be someone who would find out about it.
With two hundred thousand taels in his hands, he was afraid that he might get into trouble …
"Prince is still in the private room, right?" She thought for a moment before asking.
"Still here." Feng Jingyi answered without thinking.
Feng Jingye never bothered to squeeze in with the commoners, he would wait for everyone on the first and second floor to leave before he would come out.
"I'll have to trouble Your Highness to lead me there." Bai Zheng picked up the gold, pushed open the door and walked out.
Feng Jingyi quickly followed and brought her to the entrance of the room where the crown prince and Chu Feng were.
Bai Zheng said loudly: "Prince, daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue, Bai Zheng, requests an audience."
Hearing that, Chu Feng frowned, and spoke in disgust: "What is she doing here again!"
However, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Feng Jingye's mind. He felt that it was incredible, but he also faintly felt that this thought was probably true. He immediately said, "Come in."
The door opened gently, a pair of light purple embroidered shoes lightly stepped over the threshold and arrived in front of Feng Jingye.
Bai Zheng lowered her body, raised the gold ingot above her head and said: "This humble servant has agreed to Your Highness's two hundred thousand gold, please accept it, Your Highness."
"F * ck!"
Feng Jingye immediately stood up from his chair.
He held out his hands, which trembled uncontrollably.
He grabbed the golden spindle in Bai Zheng's hand and flipped to the bottom anxiously. Seeing the word "Song" carved on it, his eyes became red from excitement.
"It's you!" Chu Feng bellowed: "That paper making technique, is you?!"
Bai Zheng ignored the incredulous face of Chu Feng, and said in a low voice: "No, this paper creation technique was created by the Prince in the first place. It's just that His Highness' heart is divided among the tens of thousands of citizens, he was only able to take it out to auction for money. "
These words caused Feng Jingye, Feng Jingyi and Chu Feng to be dumbstruck.
Feng Jingye quickly reacted, and just as he was about to nod his head, he heard Chu Feng shouting uncontrollably: "How is that possible! Nonsense! "It's obviously you …"
"Does Young Master Chu not believe that Prince has the ability to do so, or is he questioning Prince's love for her?!" Bai Zheng shouted.
Feng Jingye frowned, his eyes swept across Chu Feng, stopping him from speaking further.
"This is the gift that the Soong Family has given to Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness will be able to say a few beautiful words for the Soong Family at that time in front of the emperor."
Feng Jingye laughed. The worries that had been plastered on his chest for the past few days were all swept away. He personally supported Bai Zheng who was on the ground with her hands, and agreed happily.
"Of course. This prince will definitely let the Royal Father know about this kindness of Soong Family, and let everyone under the heavens know about it! "
"Your Highness, you can't!" Bai Zheng hurriedly said: "If the people of the world, especially Xiliang, were to know that my Great Zhou is so empty that I need His Highness to auction away my own treasures for supplies, I might not only be facing a war of Nanshu."
Of course, the most important thing was that she had promised Soong Yiqing that she wouldn't affect the business of the Soong Family in other nations because of the donation.
Feng Jingye also knew that Xiliang always took advantage of someone when they are in danger, if he was lured in by Xiliang, it would be hard to say if Feng Linche would remove him from the position of crown prince in a fit of rage.
Even though he was somewhat unwilling, Feng Jingye still nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. This crown prince will only privately inform Royal Father of the sincerity of Soong Family."
The current Chu Feng had finally calmed down, and after hearing Bai Zheng's words, she laughed coldly: "Miss Bai's words are very interesting. Since you said that this thing belongs to Prince, if not for the people of the world knowing about it, how would they be able to see Prince's heart of love for their people!"
Without waiting for Feng Jingye to speak, Bai Zheng spoke first.
"What kind of heart does the Young Master Chu have?! The people of Great Zhou are in deep pain, His Highness' position as crown prince is in danger, so we will not rest until Xiliang strikes from the left and right! "
"But if I don't tell everyone under the heavens, just whose part does this paper making technique belong to?" Chu Feng asked.
Bai Zheng faced Chu Feng, and this was the first time she looked at Chu Feng since they had entered the room, "Your majesty, you know it! Could it be that in the eyes of the Young Master Chu, the Prince was such a vain person? Young Master Chu has repeatedly encouraged His Highness to inform the people of this matter, but was it out of his mind to push His Highness down from the position of crown prince? "
Chu Feng was unable to speak due to her blade-like gaze. He only replied weakly, "You, you're lying, I'm just …"
"You are just standing up for Second Miss of Bai Family? Young Master Chu, don't blame Bai Zheng for not warning you beforehand. My elder cousin and Third Prince are very close, so you must not forget who is the true descendant of Chu Family just for the sake of beauty! "
With a "pa" sound, Chu Feng staggered and fell into a chair against the wall.
Feng Jingye squinted his eyes dangerously, pursing his lips without saying a word. However, Chu Feng, who had grown up with him, clearly knew that it was only when he was exceptionally angry that he would reveal such an expression.
After Feng Jingye heard this, he started to suspect him!
Ridiculous, ridiculous! No matter how ungrateful he was, Chu Feng still had not reached the stage where he could help outsiders and degrade his family.
Chu Feng trembled in anger, he pointed at Bai Zheng: "You are slandering me!"
