Chapter 185: Lin Wan’e Reveals Her Identity
Wanwan’s birthday, she became a little rich woman.
Daddy Shang directly gave her a jade mine under his name, Daddy Rong gave her a large manor with a hot spring in Shangjing, and three shops.
Of course, the little Qilin Cub, who was just four years old, didn’t know what these represented yet.
After the New Year, everyone quickly resumed their normal lives.
Even though the weather was cold, shops quickly opened on the streets of Shangjing.
Qin Wanwan learned the news of Xie Chong’s warfare, but along with the good news, he had won the battle.
Seven or eight days after Qin Wanwan learned this, the news also reached the Imperial Court.
With such good news after the New Year, the Emperor, overjoyed, expressed his intention to reward Xie Chong.
This made the Minister of Revenue miserable. The National Treasury was already not abundant, and this unlucky Emperor used the National Treasury’s silver for everything. He was truly generous with a wave of his hand, not even considering if he could afford it!
Winter gradually passed, and this winter, quite a few beggars even survived in Shangjing.
It was because of the honeycomb briquettes sold by the court, which were not only long-lasting but also cheap.
This earned the court a good reputation and also made money.
Although the honeycomb briquettes were sold cheaply, there were still considerable profits to be made from high sales volume at low prices.
Not only did they gain reputation but also money, causing the Imperial Princes who had ambitions for the throne to become so jealous their faces twisted.
When they met Rong Zhi in the Imperial Court, they couldn’t help but make sarcastic remarks.
“Chancellor Rong is quite generous, willing to give this reputation to Father Emperor.”
With their Father Emperor’s disposition of loving beauty over the country, only coming to court a few times a month, Rong Zhi actually earned him a good name, it was such a waste of talent!
Of course, they didn’t dare to say this.
If they felt they should be in that position, the one sitting on the Dragon Throne now wasn’t them yet.
Rong Zhi’s expression was gentle, his eyes indifferent.
“If First Prince feels it is inappropriate, why not go and speak to His Majesty yourself?”
First Prince’s face darkened; if he dared to speak to Father Emperor, would he still be standing here?
Regardless of how much he looked down on his Father Emperor in his heart, he was still the Emperor.
As long as he was the Emperor for one more day, the Imperial Princes beneath him, even if they were dragons, had to coil themselves.
First Prince: “Chancellor, it’s better to keep your eyes open. It’s still uncertain who will sit in that position in the future.”
Rong Zhi was not angry at all; he looked very approachable.
“Thank you for the reminder, First Prince. My eyes have always been very sharp.”
Seeing that he was impervious to persuasion, First Prince flicked his sleeves and left.
When he ascended to that position in the future, he would definitely make Rong Zhi his first target!
Compared to other ambitious Imperial Princes, Third Prince was the angriest.
This was because he learned from Lin Wan’e that she also knew how the honeycomb briquettes were made.
However, she hadn’t thought of it.
Wasn’t this like watching the immense profits from honeycomb briquettes slip through his fingers?
What was the difference between this and being on the verge of sitting on the Dragon Throne, only for someone else to extend a foot and sit on it first?
It was agonizing for him.
Thus, Lin Wan’e’s life became even more difficult.
Her charcoal allowance was gone. Third Prince, under the guise of her life being too good and not having experienced the hardship of commoners in the cold winter, therefore not thinking of honeycomb briquettes, decided she should experience the hardships of the commoners.
Lin Wan’e was almost angered to death by this scumbag man.
After enduring the cold for a few days, she finally remembered the use of wool. She had also thought of cotton and heated beds, but cotton seeds were not available in Tianqi, nor did she have them on hand.
Heated beds were a technical job. In her past life, she only knew of them but had never used them, nor did she know the technical principles behind them, so wool was the best option.
However, by the time Third Prince excitedly went to find people to experiment with wool, wool products had become popular in Shangjing.
Especially the officials of the court, almost all of them wore clothes made of wool, which were warm and light.
Third Prince: …………
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Upon returning, he took his anger out on Lin Wan’e again.
After being beaten, Lin Wan’e remembered that this world had more than just her as a transmigrator.
Previously, she had wanted to bribe someone to kill that bird and that child, but later those people said that the child was protected by fierce beasts and couldn’t be killed, and the subsequent troubles caused her to put this matter aside for the time being.
“I, I know who did it. As long as Third Prince kills it, there won’t be anyone else who knows how to make the things I’ve produced.”
“Who?”
Hatred and malice flickered in Lin Wan’e’s eyes.
“It’s Chancellor Rong’s daughter; she has a bird with her…”
Rong Zhi, since you are heartless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous!
To make Third Prince take her seriously, Lin Wan’e gambled and confessed her identity as a transmigrator.
She also explicitly stated that the bird that spoke so fluently was also a transmigrator.
“So, I can still produce many things beneficial to Third Prince, but that bird definitely knows too. For your great cause, you must eliminate it, otherwise, it will still be like this, and whatever I think of will be made by them in advance.”
At this moment, Third Prince’s heart was in turmoil. What Lin Wan’e said was too incredible.
But the evidence she presented made him have to believe it.
“According to you, isn’t that parrot more powerful than you?”
Lin Wan’e was annoyed, which was also the reason for her resentment.
But she would never admit it.
“Does Third Prince want to capture that bird? Don’t forget it’s helping Chancellor Rong now. Do you think it would betray you and help you?”
Third Prince stood up: “This Imperial Prince has his own plans.”
If possible, it would be better to capture the parrot alive.
If it couldn’t be used for his own purposes, then it would have to be killed.
“Achoo…”
Keke at home sneezed several times.
Qin Wanwan’s big, bright eyes stared at it: “Keke, are you catching a cold?”
Impossible, right? Keke wasn’t an ordinary bird.
Keke ruffled its feathers: “It must be some insidious villain, a rat from the gutter, targeting the great Keke! Which commoner dares to harm this Bird Lord!”
Keke was very confident in itself; it would never catch a cold.
Qin Wanwan cooperated by showing a worried expression.
“Then what should Keke do?”
Keke was incredibly moved. Little Qilin Cub cared about it so much; the cub loved it!
Keke, moved by its own sentiment, held its head high.
“Don’t worry, cub. Now that Eagle Boss can also fly, and birds are not to be trifled with, anyone who harms me will surely bring shame upon themselves!”
Qin Wanwan nodded, reassured.
Speaking of which, Eagle Boss was super handsome now.
Standing, it was as tall as a person. When its wings were spread, it looked like the legendary divine eagle. When it flew, it was even more majestic.
The entire weather had never seen such a large eagle.
However, it also ate a lot.
Fortunately, they had a wealthy father at home who could afford to raise it.
“These flowers are about to bud. Cub, the flowers you raise are really good, better than those raised by the professional gardeners in the Imperial Palace.”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes sparkled: “Can they be sold for money?”
Keke guaranteed: “Definitely. A pot of good flowers can sell for quite a bit of money.”
The little milk bun was immediately very happy.
“Wanwan wants to sell flowers to save money to support Daddy!”
This Daddy didn’t even need to mention a name; everyone understood.
Keke was a little envious of Xie Chong. The cub was so young yet willing to sell flowers to support him; it made both humans and birds extremely envious.
