At this moment, two soft coughs came from behind the screen.
Empress Zhangsun sighed."Chongyi, you're not as obedient as you were when you were young. You've learned to lose your temper with me. Since you think 60% is too much, I'll take 40%." Sigh, I'm the empress, but no one really thinks highly of me…"
"Forget it. I'll still be an honest seventh-grade official.”Li Chongyi turned his head, looking as if he didn't want to talk to her. As for Empress Zhangsun's pitiful look, how naive was he to believe it?
"Cough cough!" Another coughing sound came from behind the screen. Li Chongyi suspected that this woman had really caught a cold, which was commonly known as the cold in modern times.
Hearing the cough, Empress Zhangsun lowered her conditions.""30%, no less. Sigh, everyone thinks that I, the empress, am rich in the world, but who…"
"Good, good, good. Thirty percent is thirty percent. However, fifty strings are not enough.”Li Chongyi did not want to listen to her long-winded complaints.
Empress Zhangsun's eyes widened, and she immediately flew into a rage.""Why don't you sell me, the empress, and see if it's worth five hundred strings? Kid, your wings have hardened! You dare to blackmail me, the Empress? Aiya, why do I feel a little dizzy? It must be because you're angry. Someone, call King Hejian over.”
"Alright, alright, alright. Fifty strings it is. Are you feeling better now?”Li Chongyi was a little defeated by Empress Zhangsun. You're dizzy, call the imperial physician! Why are you calling me father?
"A little better. I didn't expect Chongyi to be able to treat the situation. But I feel that 30% is still a little too little. Aiyo, I'm dizzy again.”Empress Zhangsun used the same trick again.
However, this time, Li Chongyi would not back down. He immediately shouted at Empress Zhangsun,""Empress, what did you say? Speak louder, I can't hear you."
"I said I'm dizzy again."
"What is it? I still can't hear you. What should I do?"
Puchi!
The person behind the screen could not help but laugh at the two of them.
"Stop pretending." Empress Zhangsun snorted coldly.”
"Empress, I really wasn't pretending. I really didn't hear what you said just now.”Li Chongyi said.
"Hmph, you can hear me now?"
"Yi, if you didn't say it, I wouldn't have realized that I could suddenly hear voices again! How strange."
Empress Zhangsun rolled her eyes at Li Chongyi." Alright, you're such a glib talker. If I talk to you for a while, I'll have to live three years less." Xiang 'er, take him to the treasury and get fifty strings of money.”
As soon as Li Chongyi left, a stunning young lady walked out from behind the screen. As she walked, she suddenly burst out laughing.
"Mother, you guys are really interesting. When I watch you, it's more exciting than watching a big show.”The beautiful girl said with a smile.
"Hmph, this little rascal. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have really been fooled by him. Lizhi, can this perfume business really make money? Is it as much as the tens of thousands you mentioned?" Empress Zhangsun asked.
"Mother, I'm afraid it's not just tens of thousands of strings. Think about it, even you can't get a bottle. The good thing about this perfume business is that it's unique. It could be sold for one Guan or ten Guan. Even if he dared to pay 100 strings, someone would buy it. However, he didn't know how much it would cost to make this perfume.”
"That brat only knows how to talk nonsense. There's not a single word of truth in his mouth. He even dared to lie to me, the Empress.”Although Empress Zhangsun was dissatisfied, she had a good impression of Li Chongyi. The last two times she saw Li Chongyi, she was in a good mood. Li Chongyi had the ability to make people happy.
Li Chongyi was different from others. When others saw him, the Empress, they all respected him. Even Li Chengqian and Li Tai did not dare to act so rashly in front of her. Correspondingly, she had lost a lot of fun.
Li Chongyi, on the other hand, dared to say anything to her. When he bargained with her, he would not give in even an inch. Speaking of which, this was the first time she experienced bargaining with someone. It was very interesting. She successfully bought 30% of the perfume workshop from Li Chongyi at the price of cabbage, which gave her a sense of accomplishment.
……
Although he had lost 30% of his shares, Li Chongyi did not feel the pinch at all.
If he successfully hooked up with the Empress, would he be afraid of not earning money? In the entire Great Tang, aside from Li Shiming, she was the only one who had the final say. If it were the modern era, those big businessmen would fight over 90% of the shares, let alone 30%.
Empress Zhangsun obviously hadn't realized her potential value yet. If it wasn't for someone reminding her and giving her ideas, he would probably be able to settle Empress Zhangsun with dozens of bottles of perfume.
A bottle of perfume was 'something that even the Empress used.' With such a gimmick, did it make sense for those noble ladies in Chang 'an and Luoyang not to use it? Who didn't want to use the same style as the Empress?
As for other people looking for trouble?
Li Chongyi couldn't wait for others to come and cause trouble! No matter how powerful the person who came looking for trouble was, could he be compared to Empress Zhangsun?
However, after receiving the fifty strings of coins, Li Chongyi completely changed his mind. How was this 50 strings? It was clearly more than twenty taels of silver. One tael of silver could be used to offset one string of money, but in Empress Zhangsun's case, it could be used to offset two strings of money.
Looking at the little palace maid who was covering her mouth and giggling, Li Chongyi had a better understanding of Empress Zhangsun's stinginess.
After receiving the money, Li Chongyi was walking out of the palace when Zheng Meng's voice sounded in his mind.""Master, we detected a rare species within 300 meters of the host.”
Li Chongyi's eyes lit up. He looked around and locked his gaze on a palace.
