Chapter 905: I only want money, not people
It was not a chance encounter for Qin Yunyan. The news that the emperor and the empress were "visiting incognito" to Baihua Lake had spread. The Bai family had been making such a big fuss in Shengjing recently just to attract the emperor's attention. How could she not seize any opportunity of a "chance encounter"?
She just thought that she was married to Xie Shang in her previous life and was the emperor's woman. She would also be the emperor's woman in this life. Jiang Fenghua could change her fate, so why couldn't she rewrite her destiny in this life.
Xie Shang's eyes suddenly became gentle and calm. He drank the tea Jiang Fenghua poured for him calmly, and said calmly, "Miss Bai, there's no need to thank me. I should thank you for the good things your father has done for Jishan Hall."
Qin Yunyan certainly knew what the emperor meant, and she did not take credit for it. "Your Majesty, this is serious."
Jiang Fenghua personally poured a cup of tea for Qin Yunyan, "Today, I am accompanying the emperor on a lake tour. Miss Bai, please don't stand. Come and sit with us!"
Qin Yunyan twisted her willow waist and said respectfully, "Yes, I will hold the pipa and play a song for the emperor and the queen!"
"This palace and the emperor are lucky enough to hear this." Jiang Fenghua smiled.
The three of them were pretending. Without Jiang Fenghua present, Qin Yunyan would probably fall directly into Xie Shang's arms.
Jiang Fenghua also shook her head helplessly: She should be considered a qualified queen! She has a harem for her husband, so she can be considered a virtuous queen!
Xie Shang suddenly asked, "Are Boss Bai and Madam Bai also on the cruise ship?"
Qin Yunyan said softly, "Your Majesty, my father and mother are here too."
Xie Shang acted very tolerant and easygoing. "Call them over! That day at the polo field, I was busy entertaining envoys from various countries and really neglected Boss Bai."
Qin Yunyan did not refuse. The Bai family had always wanted to get close to the royal family. Now that the opportunity was right in front of them, she had to seize it.
Qin Yunyan was about to leave the cabin in a graceful manner when Xie Shang suddenly said, "Lin Feng, go and invite Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai over!"
This means that there is no need for Miss Bai to invite anyone.
Lin Feng said respectfully: "Yes."
After Lin Feng left, Qin Yunyan bent her knees slightly and saluted, "Zhiyan thanks His Majesty."
Jiang Fenghua drank two cups of tea in a row and said to Hongxiu who was standing by her side, "I suddenly have to go to the toilet. Please help me to the toilet!"
The boat has two floors, the hull is very large, and it has everything. The kitchen and bathroom are downstairs. She went out to hide for a while to create some opportunities for Xie Shang. Xie Shang also knew that she had recovered her memory, but he did not expose it directly. If he said it too clearly, it would affect their relationship.
She thought it was good to pretend to be stupid and ignorant, and it was also a good thing to live a confused life.
Hongxiu was not angry because she knew what the Queen and the Emperor were planning. She would be very upset if she really asked the Queen to make room for a wild woman.
Xie Shang had a faint smile on his lips and suddenly grabbed Jiang Fenghua's hand, "I'll go with Ruan Ruan!"
Jiang Fenghua thought Xie Shang would take advantage of the situation and stay alone with Qin Yunyan. Given Qin Yunyan's skills, she would definitely take the initiative to seduce the emperor. In this way, wouldn't the Bai family be attached to the royal family? It would also be exactly what Xiao Yu wanted!
Xie Shang also had a legitimate reason to approach the Bai family.
Seeing him stop her, Jiang Fenghua was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice to remind him, "I'm going to the bathroom, Your Majesty..."
"I also drank too much tea, so I went to the bathroom." His eyes radiated a charming and affectionate light.
Jiang Fenghua pondered: What does Xie Shang mean? Doesn’t he want to be alone with Qin Yunyan and doesn’t want the Bai family’s property anymore?
Xie Shang tapped her forehead affectionately and said, "Go with me."
He then instructed Hongxiu, "Serve Miss Bai well and don't neglect the guests."
Hongxiu's face immediately lit up with joy, and she bowed respectfully, "Yes."
Jiang Fenghua turned around and looked at Qin Yunyan, only to see her staring at them in amazement, as if she couldn't believe it.
By doing this, Xie Shang was rejecting Qin Yunyan's initiative to throw herself into his arms. If he was interested in Qin Yunyan, he would even take the initiative to find an opportunity.
What exactly does Xie Shang want to do? Regardless of the trajectory of his previous life or the direction of this life, marriage is his best choice.
Could it be that the emperor has something to tell her in private?
After leaving the cabin, Jiang Fenghua stopped him and asked, "Didn't the emperor just say he wanted the Bai family's money?"
"I said I wanted the Bai family's money, not their women." Xie Shang pinched her face, "What are you thinking about? Why did you push another woman in front of your husband just now?"
Jiang Fenghua paused and said directly: "I thought the emperor wanted..." She didn't push other women in front of him. He and Qin Yunyan were exchanging glances, and she just helped them.
Xie Shang seemed to know what she was thinking and kissed her lips. He pinched her slender waist and said, "I want this."
Jiang Fenghua was suddenly teased by him and her cheeks turned even redder.
Seeing her shyness, Xie Shang suddenly felt a little happy. "I have my own arrangements. Since the Bai family has taken the initiative to come to me, I can't let them escape from Shengjing."
Xie Shang had never told her about his plans. "I have already asked Xiao Yu to contact the Bai family. The court wants to do business with the Bai family, and even make the Bai family an imperial merchant. The Bai family will cooperate very well."
"Bai He and Xiao Shang are in collusion. Xiao Shang won't let the emperor plot against him so easily." Jiang Fenghua told Bai Yuhan the news. "Bai He is like possessed now. He listens to Xiao Shang in everything. Although it's not clear that the man in black is Xiao Shang, it's a fact that he is the man in black."
"The Bai family is considered a large clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although Bai He is now the head of the Bai family, the Bai family is very large. If Bai He affects the interests of other members of the Bai family, will he be able to continue his position as the head of the family safely?" A calculation flashed in Xie Shang's eyes: "Let's start with the other members of the Bai family."
Jiang Fenghua was not surprised when she heard this. He could ask Xiao Yu to find Bai Yuhan, which meant he must have known the Bai family well. No matter how rich the Bai family was, they were just a small merchant family. How could they possibly fight against the imperial court?
Besides, the Bai family is in internal turmoil right now, so the more chaotic it is, the better.
When they returned to the cabin, Lin Feng had already taken the Bai family over. What they didn't know was that the news that the Bai He couple had met with the emperor and the queen in private had also reached the ears of other members of the Bai family.
The Bai family was of course very happy that the Bai family could be associated with the royal family.
Bai He hurriedly led his wife to pay her respects, "I pay my respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
Xie Shang was very approachable: "The Queen and I are only here on a private visit in disguise. Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai, there's no need to be so polite. Please excuse us!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai He glanced at Bai Zhiyan. There was no way the emperor wouldn't like such a beautiful woman. As long as they helped her, she could enter the palace.
Bai He did not dare to sit at the same table with the emperor and empress. They stood aside, acting very restrained.
Xie Shang added, "There are no outsiders here. Master Bai, Madam Bai, please take a seat!"
