"Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud? What an arrogant tone! Are you going to make yourself a king? "
"Your Highness is too impatient. I haven't finished speaking! I only want the 'Special Passage Order' of Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud. "
"Special Passage Order?" Mingyue Cheng knew about this.
South Phoenix Country was connected to North Zhou, West Qi, and East Lu. At the border was Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud.
When the three countries divided Qin, Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud were also divided. The four countries each occupied four prefectures. Its special geographical location made Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud a place for trade between the four countries. Merchants from the four countries gathered here to trade. Even overseas countries would come here to trade, so the profits were huge.
However, merchants who could do business in Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud were not ordinary people. They were either royal merchants of a country, nobles, or young masters of influential families... They were all of high status and had countless connections with the royal families of the various countries.
To enter Sixteen Prefectures of Serene Cloud and do business here, one had to have a 'Special Passage Order'. This order was extremely hard to come by and was only in the hands of the royal family. Ordinary merchants had no way of obtaining it.
Now, South Phoenix Country's Special Passage Order was in the hands of Imperial Noble Consort He Lanmin's nephew, He Lan Lianyi. This was what Young Master Guang Hua wanted.
"If Your Highness ascends to the throne and can give me the Special Passage Order, I will give Your Highness 10% of the profits every year. What does Your Highness think? "
"30%! I want 30% of the profits! Young Master Guang Hua knows better than me how great the profits of doing business in Sixteen Prefectures are. So I want 30% of the profits. It's not too much! "Mingyue Cheng did not hesitate and extended three fingers.
"Alright!"
Young Master Guang Hua readily agreed and then took out a "contract". Seeing that the red clothed youth had even prepared this, Mingyue Cheng knew that the other party had come prepared and wanted to do business with him. He trusted Young Master Guang Hua a little more.
The two signed and stamped their fingerprints. There were two copies, one for each of them.
Young Master Guang Hua carefully put away the contract and handed a jade sandalwood carved Guanyin to Mingyue Cheng. "After Your Highness returns, you can use this token to go to the Exceptional Beauty Workshop in South Phoenix Capital City. Shopkeeper Fang Bai will listen to Your Highness' orders. I will wait for Your Highness' good news! "
"You trust me that much?" Mingyue Cheng stared fixedly at the confident handsome young man in front of him. "If I lose, you will be exposed —"
"Haha!" Hearing Mingyue Cheng's words, the Brilliant Young Master calmly laughed.
"His Highness is the chosen one, how could he lose? His Highness the Crown Prince's victory is my victory. It was a win-win deal, and everyone would make money. How could His Highness not be tempted? What's more, Empress Wan is helping in the palace … "
The more Young Master Guang Hua spoke, the uglier Mingyue Cheng's complexion became. He actually knew that the current Empress of the Southern Phoenix, Gu Yunwan, was one of his people. What else did he not know?
"Unless the Crown Prince has forgotten the three hundred and twenty-one souls of the Miao family, unless the Crown Prince has a good night's sleep …"
"Shut up!" At the end of the conversation, Mingyue Cheng roared and smashed the table in front of Young Master Guang Hua with a palm strike. "Don't mention my Empress Mother!"
At this moment, Mingyue Cheng was no longer a playboy. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Young Master Guang Guang. It was as if he wished to tear Young Master Guang Guang Guang Guang into pieces! He wished he could eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Miao Chuyun, the Empress of the Southern Phoenix, was banished to the Cold Palace because she hated winning. Later, the Miao family rebelled, and the whole family was executed …
Outsiders thought that Empress Yun was vicious and that the Miao family deserved to die. Only Mingyue Cheng could never forget that night ten years ago, when the fire in the Cold Palace burned the whole sky red. His Empress Mother used her life and the destruction of the Miao family to exchange for his safety …
"Cheng 'er, you must live well! Even if you have to live in humiliation, even if you have to drag out an ignoble existence, you must live! You must avenge Empress Mother and the Miao family. You must let the world know that Empress Mother died unjustly! "
Miao Chuyun's last words in the fire still echoed in Mingyue Cheng's ears. Every night, he could dream of his Empress Mother smiling in the fire and burning to ashes. He tossed and turned every night, unable to sleep … Even if he died, he would never forget this!
"Clap, clap!" Young Master Guang Hua clapped his hands lightly. "I thought that after ten years in Xiqi, the Crown Prince's edge had been worn out. Now that I see it, I'm relieved. Crown Prince, don't look at me like that. The person you want to hate and take revenge on is in the Southern Phoenix. I'm not your punching bag. "
"Hmph!" Mingyue Cheng snatched the Jade Sandalwood Guanyin from Young Master Guang Hua's hand. His arrogance had replaced his previous ferociousness. He looked at Young Master Guang Hua coldly, and his whole body emitted a luxurious majesty. Different from his previous playfulness, this was the aura of a king!
"When I ascend to the throne, I will punish you for your disrespect today!"
"Then, I'll wait and see …"
The word 'emperor' had completely changed Mingyue Cheng. This man had awakened, and the sky in the south was about to change …
The day of Murong Qiqi's departure was getting closer and closer. Women in Xiqi became adults at 16, and Murong Qiqi turned 16 on the 19th of September. Because she was the Sunshine Princess personally conferred by the Emperor, and also the future Duchess of Xiqi, her coming of age ceremony was especially grand.
Although the imperial family of Xiqi had experienced a series of misfortunes, Long Zeyu still sent a ceremonial official to attend the Sunshine Princess' coming of age ceremony. Moreover, Murong Qiqi was quite popular recently, so many descendants of aristocratic families came.
"Congratulations, Princess!" Bai Yi Yue was a month older than Murong Qiqi, and her hair was already tied up. Today, Bai Yi Yue gave Murong Qiqi a 100-year-old purple ginseng as a gift. A 100-year-old ginseng was rare, and a purple ginseng was even rarer.
"Thank you!" Murong Qiqi had a good impression of Bai Yi Yue, so she gave her a set of Crabapple Spring Shui as a congratulatory gift before her coming of age ceremony.
"Princess, you're marrying far away. If you need it in the future, you can take my brother's ring to the Bai Family's store. As long as it's within our power, we'll definitely help you, Princess! "
The ring Bai Yi Yue was talking about was the black jade ring that Bai Mufei had bet with Murong Qiqi on the night of admiring the moon. Now that Bai Yi Yue said this, it must be Bai Mufei's idea. The siblings were good people, and Murong Qiqi originally wanted to keep the black jade ring for future use.
