Chapter 1923: Chapter 1923: Vulgarity (6)
Yang Ruxin subtly felt several obvious glances, the most undeniable being from the Tenth Prince Qi Jingrong, whose look was as if he were gazing at a fly, but Yang Ruxin smiled back and mouthed "Little Uncle," making him instantly recoil, lowering his head and refusing to look at her again.
Otherwise, given the setting, she would have laughed.
Another undeniable look came from Shen Wanxing. Her conflict with the Shen Family had long roots, and she had taken care of Shen Jiayin later on, so naturally, the old man regarded her as adversarial, casting a gloomy glance that could make the timid bristle with fear. However, Yang Ruxin didn’t care and instead gave him an exceedingly bright and complacent smile.
The old man’s face twitched as he lowered his gaze.
"Alright, you may leave now." Emperor Xuanjing, satisfied, waved his hand.
"Emperor, Xinxin would like to chat with the Empress Dowager; I wonder if it would disturb her. Could you pass a message for me?" Yang Ruxin, however, didn’t leave.
People around twitched their mouths; how could this person be so relentless?
"What do you want with the Empress Dowager?"
"To do business and make money." Yang Ruxin, though unsure why the Emperor was so indulgent towards her, was certain it was because she was valuable, so she became bolder.
"Cough, cough..." Emperor Xuanjing choked on his own saliva, "Well..."
"Vulgar!" Shen Wanxing, unable to hold back, muttered.
"Minister Shen, that’s not right." Yang Ruxin frowned, "Shen Family’s restaurant seems to do well, right? Why haven’t I heard Minister Shen call the restaurant vulgar? If you’re capable, let the Shen Family stop operating restaurants and making money..."
"You..."
"Am I wrong? What’s bad about making money? I openly admit that I like money, what’s wrong with that? How can you build infrastructure without money? How can you strengthen the borders? As it stands, when the Yun Prince leads troops to fight in the south, doesn’t he need money? Surely soldiers can’t go into battle armed with nothing but the Analects?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes, "Without vulgar silver, how could Minister Shen have three concubines?"
Cough, cough... Immediately, many people around started coughing, all choking on their own saliva.
Shen Wanxing truly regretted speaking earlier without restraint, knowing that continuing the argument would be to his detriment, so he could only grit his teeth and suppress his anger.
The Emperor acted as if he hadn’t seen it and directly sent Eunuch Shui to notify the back.
In Kangshou Palace, upon receiving the news, the Empress Dowager specifically waited in the main hall.
"What business does that girl want to do with me?" Empress Dowager Jiang smiled, glancing at Consort Mu who was supporting her.
"How would I know?" Consort Mu laughed, "However, that girl is truly clever; I heard the business she does with the Third and Eighth Princes is quite profitable..."
"Hehe..." Empress Dowager Jiang laughed, "Then I must listen well."
At this moment, someone outside reported that Consort Meng was here to pay her respects.
Empress Dowager Jiang nodded.
After Cui Meng entered, she respectfully greeted Empress Dowager Jiang and Consort Mu, then naturally picked up a fan to stand beside the Empress Dowager and fan her.
"Alright, have a seat too." Empress Dowager Jiang waved her hand, "There’s no need for you to do this."
"Serving the great matriarch is Mengmeng’s blessing." Cui Meng smiled but obediently put the fan down and took a seat below, "I heard Madam Gu has been titled Madam Ruyi; what a joyful news."
