The emperor was very satisfied and left with a smile.

Zhao Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his crisis is temporarily resolved now.

Two wrinkled officials came over: "Hey, Huoshui, if I were you, I would rather kill myself than let people insult my innocence at will!"

"It's shameless, it's a disgrace to the family style."

Zhao Yueyao smiled: "My lord, do you dare to ask how much money is Qingbai in this country? If the price is high enough, I would rather sell all my innocence. You are so respectful to this thing, you must be willing to spend a lot of money." Come and buy."

In front of everyone's quilt, the officer blew his beard and stared, pointing at Zhao Yueyao: "You, Lizi! It's simply unreasonable."

He Dingyuan smiled and said to the people next to him: "These two old guys, relying on the late emperor's will, no matter who did what, they have to read a book, as if the officials of the entire Zhao Kingdom have to be saints."

The man shook his head: "Be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth."

After the emperor left, the queen said to the prince: "Qi'er, come to the palace of the queen mother. The queen mother has something to tell you."

When the prince left, he took a deep look at Zhao Yueyao, with complicated emotions in his eyes, which made Zhao Yueyao shiver.

A figure stood in front of Zhao Yueyao, blocking his sight: "Don't look, brother Huang is probably going to marry the princess soon."

Zhao Yueyao pursed his lips: "It's not that I want to see it."

Chu Nian was busy, pulled Zhao Yueyao, and left here in full view.

In the carriage, the atmosphere was frozen, and neither of them spoke.In the end, Chu Nian couldn't help it: "I never imagined that you have something to do with the emperor's brother. What am I in your heart, hooking up with the prince's pedal?"

Zhao Yueyao covered his face, he didn't know how to answer.

Chu Nian was sullen for a while, and suddenly asked: "When was the first time you and the prince were together? Was it that day when you were arrested by the prince and did not return all night?"

Zhao Yueyao nodded, feeling terribly awkward in his heart, as if his husband caught rape, Chu Nian still acted like he had cuckolded him.

Zhao Yueyao found it annoying, and wanted to get off the carriage, but was stopped by Chu Nian, his tone implied fear: "You don't want to die, if you break your limbs, I'll see what you will do!"

Because Chu Nian pulled too hard, Zhao Yueyao's wrist was pulled so painfully, tears welled up in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were red: "It hurts, let go!"

Chu Nian seemed to have come to his senses, seeing Zhao Yueyao weeping silently, he stepped forward and hugged him: "I'm sorry, Yaoyao. The prince has always been brutal and cruel, you must have been persecuted by him. Now he has been forced by his father You don’t have to be afraid anymore, give me a marriage.”

Zhao Yueyao was actually not afraid, but just bored, he said vaguely: "Well, I was scared at the time, but I was wronged."

After hearing this, Chu Nian thought that the prince might also be like him, hugging Zhao Yueyao every day, as if he had knocked over dozens of bottles of old vinegar in his heart: "Stop talking, Yaoyao, I don't want to bring up your sadness. In the future, you You must tell me if you have something to do, and don’t hold back by yourself, okay?"

Zhao Yueyao nodded: "Sixth brother, why has General Luo been in the capital and not going back to the border of Zhao State?"

Chu Nian thought for a while: "When Luo Yuan was at the border, because of insufficient military pay, he blackmailed several families. You know, the great families were united, and at that time they didn't want to let Luo Yuan go. But, at that time The nomads are very arrogant at the border, so the emperor asked Luo Yuan to go to the battlefield first to atone for his crimes."

"The battle was won, and the commanders of the troops on the border were changed. Luo Yuan rose up and down, and stayed in the capital all the time."

Zhao Yueyao: "Oh, so that's the case. No wonder this guy would rather burn the household department to pay for the army. It turns out he is a stubborn guy."

Chu Nian: "What, he dared to do this? According to my father's temper, this time, he probably would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. Wait a minute, Luo Yuan is definitely not an impulsive person. What else did you do?"

Zhao Yueyao: "He wanted to burn us to death in the household department, but I persuaded him to let us go"

Chu Nian's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Luo Yuan, he dared to touch you!"

Zhao Yueyao knew that Chu Nian had murderous intentions: "Hey, don't, anyway, this matter is over, you are not allowed to cause any more trouble."

After going through many things, Zhao Yueyao became less vindictive, and now he is a little worried that the people from the Ministry of Industry will not be able to make the paper smoothly.

Zhao Yueyao said to Chu Nian: "I'm going to the Ministry of Industry now, you can go back by yourself."

Chu Nian was very curious: "What do you do in the Ministry of Industry? There are craftsmen there, full of dust, very dirty."

It's hard to explain, Zhao Yueyao asked: "Then do you want to go with me?"

Chu Nian coughed a few times: "Since Yao'er wants me to go, then I'll go."

Zhao Yueyao was in a hurry to leave, and quickly asked the servant who was driving to change direction.

The car drove to the suburbs, where there was a workshop of the Ministry of Household Affairs.The people at the gate of the workshop knew Zhao Yueyao and let him go easily.

Zhou Mu's eyes were swollen and bloodshot. After seeing Zhao Yueyao, he was ecstatic, and even ignored Chu Nian next to him.

"My lord, please come and see!"

Rows of white and fine paper are placed in the darkroom of the workshop, and the unique smell of paper is emitted by the breeze.

As a prince, Chu Nian is already top-notch in food and clothing, but he has never seen such delicate paper.

Zhao Yueyao was very happy: "Master Zhou is really amazing, he can make paper so well!"

Zhou Mu took an inkstone and a brush from the side and came over: "My lord, please have a look."

Thick black ink dripped on the paper, but the paper did not smudge, but the handwriting appeared clearer and more atmospheric.

Such a good paper even moved Chu Nian's heart.But at the next moment, Chu Nian had some bad guesses: "Yaoer, what are you going to use this paper for?"

Zhao Yueyao felt that the question was very strange: "Of course it is for sale. Such a good thing must be used to benefit the people."

Chu Nian held down Zhao Yueyao's finger: "No way, this paper has always been sold by the Liu family and the Sang family. They are both top-notch families. Yaoer, you can't afford it!"

Zhao Yueyao shook his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is this Ministry of Industry run by my family? Mr. Zhou, bring this paper, let's get ready and go to the palace to face the saint!"

Chu Nian grabbed Zhao Yueyao's wrist: "Yaoyao, now you are on the cusp of the storm, even with my father behind me, I can't protect you."

Zhao Yueyao waved Chu Nian's hand away: "Since I am at the top of the waves, if I don't find a backer for myself, I am afraid that I will be swept into the deep sea by huge waves in the next moment, and there will be no bones left. Sixth Highness, can you protect me?" When are you with me?"

"Let's go, Master Zhou."

Zhou Mu is obsessed with all kinds of research, this is the first time he has encountered such an embarrassing scene, and he can't wait to leave immediately.

Chu Nian was thinking up and down, pointing at Zhao Yueyao, he couldn't say a word for a moment.After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt that what Zhao Yueyao said was right, if it wasn't for the fact that he had no power in his hands, how could he not even be able to protect the person he loved deeply.

Zhao Yueyao and Zhou Mu entered the palace near evening, and the two waited in the hall for an hour before the emperor arrived late, holding a delicate beauty in gauze.

Even if the household department is poor, it will not stop the emperor from accepting three thousand in the harem, and there are many concubines who have fallen out of favor in the cold palace.

There are pink petals painted on the cheeks of this beauty, which is both enchanting and soft.Zhao Yueyao took a closer look, isn't this Caiyu who once served him in the palace, the younger sister of twin sisters.

It seems that the two sisters are getting along well.

The emperor half-opened his eyes, looking listless, if not for the beauty's persuasion, he would not have met Zhao Yueyao.

"Say something quickly, don't disturb my time."

Zhao Yueyao hurriedly asked Zhou Mu to hand over the paper they made. The emperor took a look at it and thought it was very ordinary.

"Isn't this just a piece of paper, did you buy it from Sang's house or Liu's house?"

Zhou Mu knelt on the ground: "Report to the emperor, this is what I did by myself without sleep."

Now the emperor became interested, stood up and wrote with a brush, and found that the paper was very useful.

Zhao Yueyao struck while the iron was hot, and expressed his idea that the Ministry of Households would take the lead in himself, with the assistance of the Ministry of Industry, to cooperate in the sale of paper.

The emperor hesitated: "It's just, how can I do this business?"

Zhao Yueyao smiled, with two dimples on his cheeks, and he looked very frank: "Your Majesty, the two aristocratic families of Sangliu sell so expensive the paper used by scholars in this world. We are benefiting the people. I can assure you, no After a month or so, Your Majesty's benevolence will spread among scholars."

"If there is a surplus at that time, the Ministry of Household Affairs can allocate funds for the construction of the Star Picking Tower for His Majesty. At that time, there will be a clear breeze and bright moon on the Star Picking Tower. You can watch the moon up close, and maybe it will make Fairy Chang'e fall asleep."

Zhaixing Tower hit the emperor's point.With a big wave of his hand, he looked very heroic: "Zhao Yueyao, you said this. Now I will entrust this matter to you. You must not let me down."

Zhao Yueyao knelt on the ground and nodded respectfully: "Please give the paper a name from the emperor."

The emperor is usually the most vain. Although he doesn't do business, he still thinks about things like leaving his name in history.Zhao Yueyao asked him to give him a name, which can be regarded as his flattery.

Caiyu leaned against the emperor weakly and bonelessly, and blew without a trace: "This paper is as white as snow, and its flexibility is extraordinary. In the future, it will be sold all over the country of Zhao. It is also a blessing to be named by the emperor."

The emperor smiled: "The beauty is really sweet, why not call this paper snow wave!"

The next day, when Zhao Yueyao arrived at the household department, the eunuch who announced the decree came.The emperor actually promoted Zhao Yueyao to an official position.

Originally, Zhao Yueyao was just an insignificant official in the household department, but because of the prince's order, no one in the household department dared to provoke him, but now Zhao Yueyao has been promoted!

The crown prince is in charge of the household department, and there are three people below him who manage taxation, land, and financial revenue and expenditure respectively. Now the emperor has directly set up a position for Zhao Yueyao, who is responsible for the business of the household department and the outside world.

Which of the other three hadn't survived for many years and rose step by step, but Zhao Yueyao reached the sky in one step at a young age, and was on an equal footing with them in their thirties.

Those three people had never dealt with Zhao Yueyao on weekdays, and they felt disdainful. Now that the imperial decree came down, they had to hold their noses and exchange greetings with Zhao Yueyao.

"My lord is so young, but he has quite a sacred heart."

"We old fellows can't compare to today's young talents."

That is to say, but everyone can see how fake their smiles are.Zhao Yueyao didn't care either, and pretended to be very modest, thinking about Zhao Guo's appearance: "The three adults really discouraged me, as long as I think of the difficulty of the household department and the hard work of the people, the emperor even wants to build a small Even the Zhaixing Building doesn't work, this heart seems to be soaked in bitter water."

Zhao Yueyao was young and good-looking, even when he lied, he was very sincere and convincing.

Several people looked at each other, not sure whether Zhao Yueyao was really stupid or not.It's just that he has the support of the emperor behind him, so there's nothing he can do.
