Chapter 11: Becoming More and More Like an Emperor
"Guard Mo!"
Mo Yun had just paid when he heard a high-pitched, hoarse voice, filled with a cautious, ingratiating tone.
"Eunuch Jiang, is there something you need?" Mo Yun looked down on eunuchs, but who would dare not give face to the eunuchs around His Majesty? Of course, apart from Qin Yu, she didn't need to give face to anyone else.
"Guard Mo, you're too kind. I have something to say. May we meet at the restaurant across the street?"
Mo Yun naturally wouldn't refuse.
Upon arriving at the destination, Jiang Yu exchanged many pleasantries before getting to the point: "Guard Mo is now a favorite of the Princess. I wonder if he would be interested in earning some extra money? Don't worry, Guard Mo will not be put under any risk."
Mo Yun was almost losing patience before he understood Jiang Yu's meaning. He never expected that the Princess would be so kind to His Majesty, yet His Majesty was so wary of her.
"No need, I'm afraid I won't have enough appetite and won't be able to eat. If Eunuch Jiang has nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then slammed the water glass towards the door: "Pah, isn't it just a thing for pleasing women? It doesn't even give me any face!"
Martial arts practitioners have excellent hearing. Mo Yun heard it, but he ignored it, as the Princess was still waiting for him in the mansion.
In fact, Qin Yu is very busy. She has power that makes everyone flock to her, and at the same time, she has a lot of things to deal with.
Aside from being clueless about Leng Xiucheng, Qin Yu is incredibly smart in everything else; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to help her young brother secure the throne.
"The new training plan for the city guards has been completed. Your Highness, please take a look."
"Grand Tutor Leng has been bribing people, and he'll probably be impeaching His Highness in court in a few days. Should we go and kidnap Grand Tutor Leng?"
Most of her subordinates were military officers, and their style of doing things was direct and simple. They admired only one person: her.
"No need, I want to see what kind of nonsense he can come up with."
Although Qin Yanling had already set his sights on the power she held, he wouldn't touch her unless he had something to hide.
"I have finished calculating the accounts for this month. We have made two thousand taels of silver more than last month, all thanks to Your Highness's good sales. The latest styles have already been delivered. Please take some time to wear them out for a stroll."
The one who said this was Xu Zhang, her chief accountant. Qin Yu had put in a lot of effort to recruit him to her side.
So you think I'm just your tool?
Xu Zhang smiled and held the abacus: "Isn't all the money I earn yours, Your Highness?"
Qin Yu was unmoved by his flattery: "The extra money should be allocated to the military budget. In addition to weapons, the soldiers' stomachs must also be guaranteed. First, select a group of people to train with the new program. If it is successful, then it can be promoted."
These were all procedures she was familiar with from her previous life, but with five more years of experience, Qin Yu's solution this time was more mature.
"Alright, everyone, go downstairs. I'm tired."
Mo Yun waited outside until everyone else had left before coming in.
"Your Highness, all the fabric has been purchased. I ran into Eunuch Jiang, who serves His Majesty, on the way."
Qin Yu listened to his thoughts, and a playful smile almost overflowed from her eyes.
Qin Yanling was really impatient; the people around her were certainly not clean: "I know, my younger brother is becoming more and more like an emperor. But why weren't you bribed?"
Because he was personally selected by the eldest princess from the secret guard camp, a secret guard can only have one master in his life, and even if the eldest princess doesn't want him anymore, he cannot betray her.
