A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

"You can still do business as usual!"

Hu Shu’Er said, "Yes, since His Majesty favors you so much, perhaps he not only allows you to do business but might also strongly support you?

I heard that there are some rare gemstones in the Western Regions that are particularly popular among the people of the Central Plains, but the journey there is unsafe.

Water routes are risky, and although many people want to do such business, they dismiss the idea when they consider the long journey!"

"The risks of water routes are great, but isn’t it faster?"

Xie Pan’Er suddenly thought of something and winked at Hu Shu’Er!

Hu Shu’Er didn’t know what she was up to, so he nodded his head.

Xie Pan’Er chuckled and walked over to Ji Youcheng!

"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, are you sunbathing?"

Ji Youcheng nodded, and Zhu Xiuxiu saw her with Hu Shu’Er, knowing she’s pestering Hu Shu’Er to teach her business again.

So she laughed and said.

"You’re soon to be a future Empress getting married, but instead of working on your wedding attire, you’re constantly engaging in business matters. If His Majesty finds out, wouldn’t he directly cancel the wedding with you?"

Xie Pan’Er blinked upon hearing this, "It’d be best if he cancels the wedding! Then, I can follow you two and learn business, become a woman boss, and be so happy!"

"Don’t even think about it!"

The Emperor’s voice suddenly came from afar, surprising Xie Pan’Er and her companions!

Everyone turned to look, and there was the Emperor alone, dressed casually, climbing over the Ji Family’s wall with a very dark expression!

"Oh! Your Majesty! What are you doing here?

Why are you climbing over the wall?

Why don’t you come in through the Main Gate?"

Seeing the Emperor’s appearance, Ji Youcheng was startled and quickly asked.

The Emperor jumped down from the wall with a stern look and glared fiercely at Xie Pan’Er.

"If I didn’t climb this wall, I might never know that my future Empress actually has the grand ambition of becoming a woman boss!"

Xie Pan’Er glared back fiercely.

"What’s wrong with someone becoming a woman boss?

It’s better than staying in the backyard all day fighting for a husband with a group of Yingying and Yanyan!"

Emperor: "..." Is she jealous?

Seldom, moreover not in vain did he select a dozen ladies to enter the Palace in frustration.

"So dare I ask the future woman boss, do you still want the position of Empress?"

Xie Pan’Er replied without thinking, "I don’t want it!"

Emperor: "..."

Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I let you be both a woman boss and the Empress, would you want it?"

Xie Pan’Er widened her eyes.

Ji Youcheng and the others also perked up their ears to listen to what the Emperor would say next.

"What do you mean?"

"The idea is that even if you become my Empress, there will be things you don’t want to do, and I will never force you. Moreover, you can select one or two capable people to help you handle affairs outside the Palace. Don’t you have a dowry mansion outside the Palace? At that time, whether you choose to leave the Palace or let the steward enter to report the affairs, I allow it!"

Xie Pan’Er’s head buzzed.

Boldly letting the Empress do business, there’s no precedent for this in any past dynasty!

Seeing Xie Pan’Er’s wide eyes, Ji Youcheng knew this girl was being outwitted by the Emperor!

Now he agrees readily, making various concessions for her in business, even opening doors for her convenience.

But in reality, he’s calculating her future potential.

An Empress doing business, after all, she is a mother to the nation. When there are disasters or difficulties in the country, wouldn’t Xie Pan’Er use the money?

However, Xie Pan’Er is still too naive at this point, unable to think so far.

Thus, after hearing the Emperor’s words, she’s overwhelmed by self-indulgent emotions!

In front of the Emperor, Xie Pan’Er spilled her previous idea to Ji Youcheng about transporting rare stones from the Western Regions.

Ji Youcheng was quite surprised to hear this.

"You two are actually thinking of doing such business?

I didn’t realize you had such foresight. If those rare gemstones from the Western Regions are brought into the Central Plains, they might quickly occupy the market.

However, if those little trinkets are in small quantities and sold to the noble ladies and girls in the capital, it’s fine if the supply is low and the price is high, and everyone will chase after them; but if the quantity is large, prices won’t rise, and they become worthless."

The Bright Moon Pavilion does have these rare gemstones on its fifth floor, but Ji Youcheng knows how to do business!

Holding an auction once every half a year, people send someone to the Western Regions to fetch the goods, and they sell for ten years!

"You..." The Emperor, hearing Ji Youcheng’s words, suddenly thought of the Bright Moon Pavilion’s auctions!
