Chapter 150
As soon as Huo Qiqi opened his mouth, Li Yuanbai rejected him without mercy.

"Sixth prince, listen to me." Huo Qiqi still wanted to persuade him,
Li Yuanbai turned cold, "If it's about colored paper, unless you..."

"Don't talk about it." Huo Qiqi seemed to guess what he was going to say, and immediately refused.

She is not stupid, Li Yuanbai has nothing to ask her, but the third prince's palpitations.In the absence of complete equipment, and the fact that the Third Prince's status is so special, Huo Qiqi is absolutely unwilling to gamble with the entire Duke Protector's Mansion.

It is important to make money in business, but if you are dead, no matter how much money you earn, it will not help.

Although it is said that the current emperor trusts the protector of the country, and even says that many things will give the protector three face.But Huo Qiqi knew very well in his heart that the emperor's kindness to Duke Huguo was entirely based on the fact that Duke Huguo's mansion had always been loyal to the emperor and the court, and never participated in the battles between princes.

Besides, even if the royal family relationship is weak, the relationship between father and son cannot be faked.If the third prince suffers from palpitations, if she can be cured, it will be a credit, but it is also possible that she will be divided into the third and sixth princes because of this.If it can't be cured, the third prince lost his life because of it, I'm sorry, this matter will probably be a thorn in the hearts of the emperor and concubine Shu forever.

No matter how you calculate it, it is not cost-effective to treat the Third Prince's illness.

And Huo Qiqi was always unwilling to do business at a loss, so she didn't even have the chance to propose conditions to Li Yuanbai.

Li Yuanbai's expression turned even colder when she rejected her.

He didn't expect Huo Qiqi to reject him without even thinking about it.He was stuffy and a little angry, but he didn't feel happy at all.

Speaking of this, the two of them seemed to have no need to continue talking.

"Sixth prince, I put the snack here. It tastes really good. You can try it." Huo Qiqi left the food box behind and hurriedly left the room.

Li Yuanbai sat on the chair, looking at the snacks in the food box, the anger in his heart had not dissipated.

He really wanted to slap the food box away, but after thinking about it, he opened the food box again.

There are several kinds of snacks in the food box, which are very delicate and full of flavor.He doesn't like sweets, but he doesn't dislike the snacks Huo Qiqi sent.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand to pinch a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.

Soft and delicate, sweet but not greasy, the aroma of eggs and milk mixed with the aroma of wheat, very unique taste.

"No success?" Wang Shaojie had been waiting for Huo Qiqi in the yard, when he saw Huo Qiqi coming out of Li Yuanbai's room, he immediately greeted him and asked in a low voice.

Huo Qiqi shook his head lightly.

"What should I do?" Wang Shaojie asked softly.

Huo Qiqi shook his head again, "Go home."

Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Wang Shaojie didn't dare to ask more questions.

The two came under the banner of watching everyone, and when they left, they naturally had to say hello to the small officials again.

"Seventh Young Master, are you going back now?" Not to mention, the cannibals have short mouths and short hands, because Huo Qiqi sent snacks, and the officials in the room were really reluctant to let her leave.

Someone also sent an invitation, asking Huo Qiqi to come to the Ministry of Industry to play again in a few days.

Huo Qiqi agreed one by one, then smiled and left with Wang Shaojie.

"I've never seen such a stupid person, put away the money." After getting into the carriage, Huo Qiqi began to complain.

"The sixth prince rejected you directly?" Wang Shaojie asked in surprise.

"Not really." Huo Qiqi shook his head, "But I didn't give him a chance to raise conditions. I'm afraid we can't afford his conditions."

Although Wang Shaojie didn't know what happened in the middle, he always believed in Huo Qiqi. Since Huo Qiqi said that they couldn't afford it, the conditions Li Yuanbai proposed must be very harsh for them, so he wisely didn't ask go down.

The two went to the Ministry of Industry with great enthusiasm, but they were a little downcast when they came back.

But at noon, the old man brought them good news, "It's useless to ask the sixth prince for this matter. The sixth prince is cold by nature. For things that are not interesting, no matter how good you give him. He may not agree, but the emperor He is still willing to listen to it. Hehe, if you don’t listen, you have to listen. Just wait to hear the good news tonight.”

Huo Qiqi looked at the old man's smug look, and instinctively told her that something was wrong.

Since the emperor has not mentioned the matter of colored paper for so many years, how could he be moved by the old man's few words?
"Grandfather, what are your conditions?" Huo Qiqi stared at him and asked.

Hearing the words, the old man's face suddenly became twitchy, "Didn't you say that there is a way to reduce the cost of books. I mentioned a few words in front of the emperor, and the emperor is very interested in this, promise me, if we give As a way to reduce the cost of books, he can intercede with the sixth prince with the queen mother."

"No?" Huo Qiqi looked at him sideways and asked.

"It's gone." The old man's voice suddenly rose a little.

Huo Qiqi stared at him with a smile, and kept staring like that.

In the end, the old man couldn't take it anymore, so he could only tell the truth, "You also know that grandfather is a glutton for alcohol. When I went to court, I secretly brought a small gourd, and later gave it to the emperor, and the emperor agreed to help me persuade the sixth prince."

The more the old man said, the more he felt guilty. He also knew how precious the medicinal wine Huo Qiqi gave him was.Sending out a gourd of precious medicinal wine actually made him feel a lot of pain in his heart.

Huo Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily it was just a gourd of wine.Thinking about it carefully, she felt that she had made too much fuss.The old man is such a wise person, how could the old man not think of what she was worried about?
Sure enough, in the afternoon, someone came from the palace, saying that the emperor announced that Huo Qiqi and the old man had entered the palace.

Huo Qiqi didn't dare to neglect, quickly changed into his clothes, and entered the palace with the old man.

When I went to the imperial study, I saw that not only the emperor was there, but Li Yuanbai was also there.

"I see the emperor and the sixth prince."

"Caomin has seen the emperor and the sixth prince."

Duke Huo and Huo Qiqi went to salute them together.

"Sit down." The emperor was in a good mood just now, but after he saw Duke Hu, his mood was not so good.A cheapskate, a stingy man, and a stingy man seemed to give him a gourd of wine, but in fact, there were only three glasses of wine in it. After he went back, he poured one glass and reluctantly poured back half a glass.

He has never seen anyone more stingy than Duke Protector in his life.

Duke Huguo knew well why the emperor didn't like him.Hmph, if it wasn't for Qi Qi, he wouldn't be willing to take out even a glass of wine, let alone a gourd of wine.The medicinal materials in his wine are not easy to find, so drink less, hey, he has a gourd of wine.

"Qi Qi, only the Sixth Prince has the colored paper you want. But I promised the Sixth Prince back then that I would not force him to take out the colored paper." The Emperor said to Huo Qiqi with a pleasant face. "However, since the Huguogong personally asked to come to the door, I will give the Huguo a face. I have specially consulted with the sixth prince, and I am willing to guarantee you. What are your respective conditions, it is better to make it clear in person."
