The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 51

Jin Yu took Qin Wan's teacup and calmly took a sip.

Qin Wan also poured water for herself, took a sip to comfort Jin Yu and said, "Don't be afraid, Mrs. Jin, I'm not a vicious female partner, and I don't have any other thoughts about His Royal Highness King Ning, and I won't try to harm you in any way, or It is to stop you from getting close to His Highness King Ning. To tell the truth, you follow the path of your leading heroine Shuangwen, and I will be my supporting role in the [-]th-line cold palace. "

Jin Yu wanted to say something, but paused, but didn't say it.

Qin Wan smiled: "But whether you can successfully lead the cub to attack the tyrant and regent in the end depends entirely on your own ability. I am not capable, I can't be an assist, and I can't form an alliance with you. But it looks like For the sake of the gift you gave me, I can tell you about the other two women in this palace who sincerely robbed His Royal Highness King Ning. His Highness Wang kisses his younger junior sister Lin Rou, they are your real enemies. So please don’t make the wrong enemies, let alone choose the wrong allies, you should be more careful on your journey to conquer His Highness Ning Wang.”

Jin Yu: "..."

After seeing Jin Yu off, Qin Wan stretched greatly.

Liuying walked over and said worriedly: "Mother, I heard the conversation between you and Mrs. Jin just outside the door. Is it really okay for you to encourage her to climb into His Highness's bed like this? Besides, she is so disgraceful." A piece of history, will His Highness King Ning really like her?"

Qin Wan reached out and pinched Liuying's face: "Silly girl, have you forgotten what I told you again? What are women afraid of if they have a dark history? In the end, they still have to look forward with their heads held high. In fact, I really admire this Mrs. Jin Yes, it is estimated that after she was hurt by Xi Bao's biological father, she came to her senses and understood what she wanted in life. This is much smarter than many women who are still immersed in love."

Liu Ying scratched her head: "Mother, I am getting more and more incomprehensible to what you are saying."

Qin Wan raised the corner of her mouth: "Okay, you're still too young, you'll understand everything when you're older. Go and put away that tea set. We'll take it to Zhou's Gold Shop to melt it down tomorrow."

"Molten?!" Liuying opened her mouth in surprise.

"Yeah, melt it into a small piece of gold, so you can take it with you when you run." Qin Wan smiled.

Day two.

Qin Wan and Liuying called Yuan Ying to go out of the palace together again, Xiaobai transformed into a cat shape and jumped into the carriage to go out of the palace, and walked with them.

They came to the largest gold shop in Yingyang City——Zhoujia Gold Shop, and put the gold tea set given by Jin Yu in front of the shopkeeper.

As soon as Qin Wan saw the shopkeeper of the gold shop, she asked Liuying to reveal her palace badges and reported their identities. She was so frightened that the shopkeeper of the gold shop led a group of servants to invite all the other guests away. Kowtow, finally closed the shop door, greeted them personally.

Qin Wan didn't hide, pointed to the tea set and said, "Shopkeeper, please help to remove all the jewels from this tea set, and then melt it into one or two pieces of gold bars."

The shopkeeper Zhou looked left and right at the set of teapots, studied up and down, his expression was surprised and happy, his eyes fluctuated, and finally said: "Madam, please forgive me for talking too much, this tea set is exquisite in workmanship, ingenious and ingenious. , it is definitely a treasure in the world. Even the best craftsman here may not be able to create such a good tea set. It would be a pity if the empress melted it..."

Qin Wan raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Is this pot so good?"

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded vigorously and said: "Looking at the exquisite workmanship, the design of the pattern should not be made by Liang Guo. If I am too young, I can't guess who made it, but looking at the shape and texture, I can probably conclude that it should come from the Western Regions."

Qin Wan asked, "Then how much is it worth?"

Shopkeeper Zhou carefully picked up the teapot and turned it upside down: "The gold alone cost about ten taels. Adding these precious stones, the value is 15 taels of gold. Counting the cost of handwork, this teapot alone has to cost 30 taels." There are as many taels, not to mention four more teacups, and the estimated total value is around 40 taels of gold."

Qin Wan calculated in her heart that one tael of gold is about 4000 yuan, and 40 taels of gold is about 16 yuan.

Oh my god, the Jin family deserves to be the richest man in the Liang Kingdom, with such a generous spending!
Shopkeeper Zhou smiled obsequiously and said to Qin Wan: "Madam, I think it's a pity that your tea set has melted down. I'm willing to pay 40 taels of gold to buy your tea set. I don't know what your majesty thinks."

Liuying shook her head and said, "You said 40 taels is 40 taels, why do I see more than that?"

Shopkeeper Zhou bowed respectfully to Liuying: "Sir Shangyi, I'm willing to use my head to assure you that you never deceived your mother. You can go to any shopkeeper of a gold shop in Yingyang City to see that the valuation is absolutely the same."

Xiao Baiben was hugged by Liuying, and when he heard what shopkeeper Zhou said, he jumped onto the table, walked around the pot, and sniffed it again, as if he smelled something unpleasant , flashed back again, and then said to Qin Wan: "This pot smells strange, sell it quickly."

Shopkeeper Zhou shivered when he saw that the little white cat could talk, and hurriedly saluted Xiaobai again: "You little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, and didn't recognize the identity of Lord Earth Immortal, please forgive me, Lord Earth Immortal..."

Xiaobai yawned and shook his paw: "It's okay, you can talk about your own."

After speaking, she jumped back into Liuying's arms and let her hug her comfortably.

Qin Wan smiled: "Don't worry about it, shopkeeper. We don't mean not to believe you. Since you are willing to buy it, I have nothing to refuse to sell. 40 taels of gold is converted into silver according to the current market ratio, which is about 500 taels of silver. If you give me the silver ticket, this set of tea sets will be yours."

Shopkeeper Zhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Xiaoer to give Qin Wan a 500 tael silver note, and happily accepted the tea set.

Qin Wan put the bank note in his sleeve and left the gold shop with a smile.

On the way back to the palace, Liuying complained that Qin Wan sold the pot at a too low price, which was cheaper than that boss Zhou.

Qin Wan didn't care too much. Compared with the flashy tea set, the silver ticket was her favorite.

Xiaobai was hugged by Liuying, rolled his eyes at Qin Wan, put his arms around Liuying's arm, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

But what she didn't expect was that on the third day after the tea set was sold, Yuan Ying came to visit Qin Wan in Lenggong, and by the way, talked about the news outside the palace.

One of them was the news of the sudden death of a goldsmith at the home of the treasurer Zhou of the gold shop.The Yin of Yingyang House started to investigate, and found out that the goldsmith was poisoned and died when he smelted a set of tea sets, and that tea set was given to Qin Wan by Jin Yu, and then sold to shopkeeper Zhou by Qin Wan.

Liu Ying was puzzled: "It's strange, the shopkeeper didn't like that pot that time, and stopped the empress from melting it, so why did he buy it and melt it again?"

Yuan Ying said: "According to the news outside the palace, the jewels and gemstones inlaid on the pot are extremely valuable. The treasurer Zhou asked the goldsmith to take the gemstones and jewels off the pot and reprocess them into jewelry for sale. The gold body of the pot with precious stones, pearls and emeralds was removed, and goldsmiths were asked to recast it into popular gold bracelets and gold medals, which were sold at high prices.”

Liuying gathered her hands and said angrily, "What a profiteer!"
