Chapter 116 1 Chengli
However, since it was given to her own grandson, she could only be happy!
The virtuous concubine's complexion looked visibly better, and she even felt that she was not so sad for her grandson if Chen hadn't died.
It is obvious who is getting the better deal by trading a Chen for such enormous wealth.
Xiao Quan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi You. He didn't expect that the emperor would be so generous to him.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Qi You was also shocked in his heart, and looked up at his royal grandfather. Twenty percent profit on the glass was truly an unprecedented huge compensation. After all, as an emperor, his royal grandfather couldn't be unaware of the profits from the production of the glass. But even so, his royal grandfather still gave it to him. To be honest, Qi You was really touched.
However, 20% is too much and he cannot accept it. Not only will it cause criticism from the civil and military ministers of the previous dynasty, but I am afraid that people in the royal family will also have objections.
Qi You then stood up, bowed respectfully to Emperor Jingyuan, and said, "Grandfather, thank you for thinking of me, but this is too much. I cannot accept it. Please take back your decision."
The little person stood in the hall, his back straight, his voice calm and unhurried.
No one present expected Qi You to refuse, especially the Queen.
After all, this is enormous wealth. If she gets it, there is no way she can refuse it. Qi You is still too young to realize the charm of money.
Xian Fei was also stunned for a moment, but she thought that these two percent benefits were indeed a bit too much for a child, but she couldn't give it up! Xian Fei was so anxious that she wanted to stand up and stop Qi You from speaking, but because there were so many people at the scene, she had to give up. However, she looked desperately in Qi You's direction, hoping that her grandson could see her hint.
How could he not want this silly boy? Chen assassinated him, but the emperor did not punish Chen for the benefit of Dajing. This was his compensation! She was negligent. No matter how calm her grandson was, he was still a child. He didn't think as deeply about many things as she did. She should have talked to her grandson before.
Even Nanny Jiang couldn't keep her composure anymore. Was the Fifth Young Master just launching a cash cow?
Ouch!
Xiao Quan looked at Qi You in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid would actually refuse. However, this made things more interesting.
Chen was the one whose emotions were fluctuating the most. It was already hard enough for her to hear that Qiao was promoted to a concubine, but she didn't expect that the emperor would give Qi You 20% of the profit! How could this be possible! She wanted to shout and stop all this, but she couldn't. She was still a criminal, and if she spoke again, she would be punished.
But she didn't expect that just when she was unwilling, Qi You actually came out to refuse, hahaha! Sure enough, he was a bumpkin, not knowing how much profit this glass could bring, good! Refuse it! Why can the people who make money from the things she took out be Qi You and his son? It can be anyone, but it can't be Qi You and his son. This is the biggest irony for her!
Good! Chen prayed in her heart that the emperor would immediately agree to Qi You and not give him the two percent interest. She stared at the emperor without blinking.
Everyone looked at the emperor, wondering what he would say.
Even Commander Hua Chang Fenghua looked at Qi You with a sidelong glance.
They are not ignorant people. Such huge benefits are right in front of them, but they didn't expect that this little kid would refuse it? !
Xiao Yuanzi didn't have any special emotions. Although judging from everyone's reactions, this was a huge fortune that everyone coveted, but the master had his own reasons for doing things.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanzi was the only one who remained particularly calm among those present.
Emperor Jingyuan never thought that his 20% interest offer would be rejected by his grandson. It is still a little unbelievable now.
"Do you know what you rejected?" Emperor Jingyuan asked.
"Grandfather, I know." Qi You's voice was crisp and his eyes were clear and calm. Everyone could see the seriousness in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan was speechless. Yes, he knew how smart and precocious his grandson was. He could not have known how great the benefit would be, but even after knowing it, he still refused. This really took extraordinary courage. Anyway, he didn't have that kind of courage as an emperor.
After a long while, Emperor Jingyuan became visibly pleased, and the look he gave Qi You was indescribably passionate.
He is truly worthy of being his valued grandson. He can refuse such huge benefits without hesitation. It is really rare!
He believed that if he offered the prince or his other sons, including the fifth son, 20% of the profit on the glass, none of them would be able to refuse. But this kid refused!
However, Emperor Jingyuan certainly would not treat such a well-behaved grandson unfairly, so he said, "Since you think it's too much, I will reduce the profit by 10% for you."
Hearing this, Qi You stood up with a hesitant look on his face, still looking unwilling.
But before he could say anything, Emperor Jingyuan had already spoken, "I'll give you this 10% profit, it's settled, and I'll give you a token, from now on, you can enter and leave the palace as you please."
These were still not enough for Emperor Jingyuan, so after thinking about it, he decided to give Zhuying to Qi You. After all, Qi You was going to leave the palace, and he could not stop practicing martial arts. Zhuying was a martial arts master, and she could just protect his grandson's safety. He planned to focus on training this grandson, so he didn't want him to die halfway. So the person to be protected must be chosen carefully. Not only must he have high martial arts skills, but he must also be flexible. And most importantly, the grandson seemed to like Zhuying very much, and Zhuying also treated this grandson differently. After much thought, Zhuying was the most suitable person.
But, how to say it, Emperor Jingyuan still felt a little painful when thinking about giving Zhuying away, after all, he was the most powerful secret guard leader around him. However, when he thought that Zhuying had trained a group of powerful young secret guards for him, and one of them was only slightly worse than Zhuying, he believed that in another two years, they would be able to catch up with the current Zhuying, so he felt relieved.
The most important thing is the grandson, right? The grandson was really wronged this time. As his royal grandfather, how could I not make it up to him?
Seeing this, Qi You could only accept helplessly, "Grandson thanks Grandfather."
Qi You really meant this sentence.
As an emperor, my royal grandfather had his own limitations. There were many things he could not do as he wished, just like this time. For the sake of national revenue, he had to pardon Chen's death sentence. But he was also a good grandfather, at least for me. He would give me enough compensation for the injustice I had suffered. Even if it was only 10%, it was more than enough. Moreover, he also gave me a token to enter and leave the palace at any time, which was an unexpected surprise.
Qi You was already very satisfied with this.
The more Emperor Jingyuan looked at Qi You, the more satisfied he became, with joy showing in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
