Then Mingyue followed Prince Chen, who was wearing a human skin mask, upstairs.
At the same time, Prince Chen specially asked someone to carry the jade upstairs.
Prince Chen lifted the teacup on the table, poured a cup of tea for Mingyue himself, and said, "Please stay here for a while, the prince will be here soon."
Mingyue looked at him as if she didn't care. When she saw the green ice jade ring on his thumb, her heart skipped a beat. But she nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, little brother."
Prince Chen shook his head: "No, no, I'll go down first then."
Mingyue nodded: "Please do as you please."
Prince Chen then stepped out, went to the next room to change his clothes, took off his mask, tidied his face and opened the door again.
Mingyue wanted to bow as soon as she entered the room, but was stopped by Prince Chen.
Prince Chen said directly: "I heard from my subordinates that the young master has sold a piece of imperial green jade. I would like to buy this jade. I wonder what price the young master would like to offer?"
Mingyue's gaze fell on the ring on his hand for a moment, and she soon realized that the servant boy was indeed Prince Chen himself.
Then everything that happened before must have been seen by him.
However, since Prince Chen was pretending to be ignorant, Mingyue was willing to cooperate with him.
Mingyue pointed at the half-opened jade raw material on the table and said meaningfully: "Everyone knows that the imperial green is a priceless treasure, enough to be used as a family heirloom. If others ask me how much I would like to offer, I can only say two words, that is, I won't sell it."
After seeing Prince Chen's slightly changed expression, Mingyue changed her tone again: "However, if Your Highness asks, I am willing to give this jade to Your Highness without asking for anything. However, I also have an unreasonable request, and I hope Your Highness will grant it."
Prince Chen looked up at her, and thinking of everything he had seen before, he felt that the man in front of him was truly unfathomable.
Obviously gambling on gemstones is a matter of luck, and no one has ever been able to win 100 times since ancient times, but this man...
Thinking of how much this man valued this piece of imperial green, a bold guess flashed through Prince Chen's mind: Could it be that this man could tell whether there was jade in those jade raw materials
But how is this possible
Prince Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he said sincerely: "I wonder what you want? As long as it is not against the law, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Mingyue suddenly stretched out her hand and loosened the bun on her head. Her black hair, as shiny as crow feathers, instantly scattered on her shoulders. She raised her hand and rubbed off her thick black eyebrows, revealing her beautiful crescent-shaped eyebrows. She was originally dressed as a man, but in an instant she showed the gentle posture of a woman.
Prince Chen's pupils dilated a little, and he couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.
Mingyue lowered her eyes slightly, with a pleading look on her face: "I am originally from Hanchang County. I don't know who I offended, but I and my little girl were chased by a group of thieves. I had no choice but to dress as a man. Now the thieves have chased me to Wangnan City. I can't protect myself. I can only beg the prince to protect me and my daughter."
Prince Chen never imagined that this man was actually a woman, and he never thought that her so-called unreasonable request was so simple.
But that's how people are. The simpler Mingyue spoke, the more suspicious Prince Chen became.
But at the moment he cared more about the jade, so he finally agreed.
"Since I have accepted your kindness, I promise that as long as you and your daughter stay in Wangnan City for one day, I will ensure that you will have no worries for one day." Hearing Prince Chen's words, Mingyue smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Prince Chen's eyes sparkled at her smile. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mingyue say, "Oh, my Lord, this piece of jade is the protection fee I pay. Can I exchange the other jade for silver?"
When Prince Chen heard the word "protection fee", he couldn't help but twitch his lips. Why did he suddenly feel like he had become a street thug
After hearing about other jades, Prince Chen remembered the woman's skill in selecting stones, and his heart suddenly moved.
Prince Chen said slowly, "Those jades belong to you, so you can distribute them as you like. But since I want to protect you, I have to ask where you are now and where the gang of thieves are."
Mingyue shook her head: "I don't know where the gang of thieves is, but I ran into them before when I entered the city, and they accidentally mentioned the name of an important person, which really made me feel terrified. Now I can only stay in a farmer's house outside the city, for fear of running into them again."
Prince Chen was a little curious: "Oh? I wonder who is the big shot they are talking about?"
Mingyue paused, then looked into Prince Chen's eyes and opened her lips slightly: "I only heard them talking about Prince Wen, I don't know anything else."
Prince Chen frowned slightly. Prince Wen? Could it be the ignorant second-generation descendant of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion
But Prince Chen did not think much about it, and only stated his purpose: "How about this, if you are willing, you can move your daughter to Ziqidonglai. Here are my most powerful assassins, cough, thugs. No matter who it is, no one dares to act recklessly here."
Mingyue was very happy in her heart, but she looked a little hesitant: "Will this be too much trouble for Your Majesty?"
Prince Chen originally wanted to keep the person under his watch, and he also wanted to see Mingyue's abilities, so naturally he said it was okay.
Mingyue thanked him and asked Prince Chen for two guards to follow her. Then she left Ziqidonglai in a swagger and went outside the city to pick up Mingmei.
However, in just a short period of time, the news that someone from Ziqidonglai had produced the Imperial Green had spread throughout the entire Wangnan City, causing countless people to feel uneasy.
Mingyue's identity was soon revealed. He was a poor boy who had just moved to the city with his daughter. He had no identity and no background.
But this poor boy happened to have a good skill in selecting stones, which made many people want to catch him.
But before he could put this idea into action, he learned that the person had been recruited by Prince Chen and now lived in Ziqidonglai, causing countless wealthy businessmen to sigh and regret that they had acted too late.
Wen Pengfei, who came to Wangnan City, of course also heard the news that the Imperial Green had appeared in the city, but he did not connect this matter with Mingyue at all.
At the moment, he was furious about the incompetence of his men. After severely punishing several of them, he decided to go out and relax.
When you come to the capital of jade, you have to take a few gambles.
As for where to go? Of course, it's Ziqidonglai. Haven't you heard that the imperial green has bloomed there
Wen Pengfei felt that he, a chosen one like him, would definitely be able to come out.
