Chapter 180 The Proud One of Heaven
Jun Mo in the banquet hall, after accepting everyone's compliments, finally got a chance to rest for a while.
He seemed to be concentrating on enjoying the singing and dancing, but in fact his eyes had glanced towards the entrance of the hall countless times.
It was not until Yu Jiuer appeared that he turned his gaze to the ministers as if nothing had happened.
"Why do you need to take so long to get some fresh air?" Jun Mo looked away with an indifferent expression, not even turning his head towards her, but there was a hint of worry in his voice.
Yu Jiuer sat down next to Jun Mo, lowered her head and pretended to straighten her clothes: "I encountered some minor troubles, but they are all solved!"
"Are you okay?" Jun Mo's eyes were still focused on singing and dancing.
Yu Jiuer propped her chin with both hands, pretending to appreciate the singing and dancing, and replied with her lips moving: "Fortunately, you have a good cousin. Thanks to her, I owe her a favor."
There were many eyes staring at him in the hall, so Jun Mo didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. According to the emperor's rules, Yu Jiuer and Jun Mo can bring the children back home to spend the night.
After getting on the horse, Jun Mo put the children on the soft cushion of the carriage and let them play by themselves. He then asked Yu Jiuer anxiously: "What happened to you in the garden just now? Did you feel wronged?"
He knew her situation, but he had no other options except arranging for someone to protect her. If possible, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and keep her safe.
Yu Jiuer pouted and said, "It's not that I'm wronged, it's just that your cousin Rong brought people to cause trouble for me!"
Girls love to tell tales, and she is no exception.
You can't be bullied and not fight back, right?
Only the weak would always tolerate things. Living a depressed life is not her style.
Isn't it possible to just have a good fight? Is there no other solution for her?
We’ll see!
But Jun Mo's next words made her furious.
He was skeptical and said, "Wan'er? She is always outspoken and not a bad person. If she accidentally did something to let you down, it might be..."
When Jun Mo saw Yu Jiuer's angry eyes, he stopped talking instantly and immediately changed his words: "I will go back and talk to my grandfather!"
Yu Jiuer suppressed her anger and said, "She is already seventeen years old. It is not a good idea for her to act like a boy all day long. I need to find her a husband to take care of her, so that she won't always come to me for trouble!"
Can't he see that Rong Wan'er has always been interested in him?
Yu Jiuer remembered that Jian San had said to her before: "The prince regards all women other than you as men, so you don't have to worry about the prince being bewitched by other women!"
Now that I think about it, Jun Mo is indeed a bit slow in this regard.
Jun Mo pushed the baby in his arms aside, hugged his wife instead, and said flatteringly: "It's my fault. I will go to my grandfather today to have a good talk about her marriage and find someone to control her!"
After hearing this, Yu Jiuer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, this time it's all thanks to the Prime Minister for his help!" Yu Jiuer said as she looked around.
Only the two little ones rolled around on the carpet of the carriage, causing all kinds of damage, and when the carriage drove onto the wide street, they whispered, "Is this man from your faction?"
Jun Mo shook his head: "No, he is a loyal minister who is only loyal to his father!"
Yu Jiuer asked in confusion: "Then how can he be so powerful? Who is he?"
Jun Mo told Yu Jiuer the information he had learned before: "This person's surname is Shang and his given name is Buqun. He is an alternative person cultivated by Shang family with all their efforts and piled up with gold and silver!"
"Merchant?" Yu Jiuer had never heard of it before.
Jun Mo continued to explain to his wife: "Shang Yi is the largest silk family in the Great Dong Dynasty. Its business is spread all over the world and it is almost as rich as a country. In the past few generations of Shang Yi, there was a top scholar, and that was Shang Buqun.
Shang Buqun was born into a merchant family. He followed his family around the country to do business since he was young. He had a keen insight and a good grasp of people's hearts. He won the first place in the imperial examination at the age of 20 and was highly regarded by his father.
Yu Jiuer's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said with admiration: "With money, talent and power, Shang Buqun is simply a child of destiny!"
Yu Jiuer was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice Jun Mo's gloomy face at all. She kept praising him: "He can resist the coercion and inducement of the various princes, and at the same time, he can gain the trust of the emperor and rise to the top."
Thinking of the force he had thrown at Rong Wan'er, Yu Jiu'er continued without knowing whether to live or die.
“He’s good at martial arts, talented in writing, and so handsome. More importantly, he’s also a business genius?
Oh my God! How could God be so outrageous? To concentrate all the benefits on one person? It's too much! "
With every compliment Yu Jiuer gave, Jun Mo's face turned darker. Even the two little ones in the carriage could feel the coldness emanating from their father, and they were so stunned that they dared not act naughty anymore.
Yu Jiuer sensed something was wrong with the children, and belatedly glanced at Jun Mo, trying to make amends:
"Your Highness, what are you doing? Look how scared the child is! Didn't I just praise him a few words? I'm not going to run away with him!
Besides, he is not as charming as the prince! I just treat him as a pretty vase, purely for admiration!"
This successfully smoothed Jun Mo's anger, but he still sneered, "He's full of money, even his shoes are made of gold thread. What's there to appreciate? What? You want to make money from him?"
He didn't like his wife to be obsessed with other men, even if it was just his money.
"You also know that I'm short of money, so I'll naturally pay more attention to rich people. Can't you think about it?"
Among the four classes of people, scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, in the feudal dynasty, merchants were ranked last. No wonder Jun Mo looked down on him.
However, she didn't want to make money from him directly, but wanted to cooperate with him.
Such a person is blessed with a unique sense of justice. It would be a great honor to make such a friend!
But she didn't dare let Jun Mo know her thoughts.
She suddenly discovered that Jun Mo had a strong possessiveness, which was simply the result of the patriarchal education in the feudal era. She didn't dare to provoke him rashly.
It was already late when they returned to the palace. It was the first time for the two children to go back to the palace and sleep on a big bed with their parents. They jumped up and down with excitement.
Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer finally coaxed the children to sleep before going about their own business.
Jun Mo had just returned to Beijing and had too many things to deal with.
Yu Jiuer had also been thinking about her moisturizer. After explaining it to the four maids, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong, she hurried back to her Xilan Courtyard to continue tinkering with it.
Glycerin has been extracted, and as long as there is glycerin as a base, it is not difficult to make moisturizers with other scents.
Ever since she came to the capital, she felt her own weakness. The only thing she could control was how to make money, and she had to grasp it no matter what.
Money makes the world go round. This is a wise saying left by our ancestors!
This busyness lasted for several more days.
In the middle of the night, Jun Mo, who had just finished his official business, sneaked over the wall and sneaked into Yu Jiuer's room as usual.
In order to prevent Yu Jiuer from becoming the target of public criticism, Jun Mo has been acting coldly towards Yu Jiuer in front of others, but this does not affect him from climbing over the wall to steal her fragrance whenever he has time!
Yu Jiuer had been obsessed with applying moisturizer these days, and was now so tired that she felt sleepy. She murmured a warning to the man who was sticking to her, "Don't move, my lord. I'm so sleepy!"
"I'm so tired!" Jun Mo just hugged Yu Jiuer tightly in his arms.
Yu Jiuer could tell from his tone that he was exhausted. She sobered up instantly, turned around, held his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is your Highness in any trouble? Why do you look so embarrassed?"
"Jiu'er, I had a quarrel with my grandfather tonight!" Jun Mo sighed, put his hands under his head, and stared blankly at the top of the mosquito net.
"He actually wants me to marry Wan'er? I regard Wan'er as my own sister, how can I ruin her happiness? I don't want to, he got very angry!"
Yu Jiuer suggested: "Your Highness, would you like to persuade Miss Wan'er? As long as Miss Wan'er is unwilling, Prime Minister Rong will probably compromise, right?"
Rong Wan'er actually dared to take advantage of Prime Minister Rong and snatch her man? She was simply overestimating her own abilities!
Even if Jun Mo is forced to marry another woman in the end, it must not be Rong Wan'er!
The reason is simple, she just doesn't like it!
"You are right. Tomorrow the King will have a good talk with Wan'er!"
Yu Jiuer suggested: "Your Highness, you'd better be more ruthless and reject us decisively, otherwise the little girl won't understand!"
"You are only nineteen years old, and you are mature and steady!" Jun Mo hugged Yu Jiuer in his arms.
Yu Jiuer suddenly said, "My soul is the same age as the prince, and my birthday is three days earlier than the prince! Come, call me "sister" and let me hear it!"
"Are you itching?" Jun Mo turned over and pressed her under him.
"I was wrong! Your Majesty, please spare my life! Ah——"
