Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

Chapter 195 Joining

Just when Nan Rongwan's eyes were full of provocation, thinking about embarrassing Meng Xiyue later.

A cold voice came from behind.

“Nan Rongwan, you just said you would give this king an honor?”

To Nan Rongwan, this voice sounded like a voice from hell.

She turned around with a pale face, and when she saw Nan Rongshen, she was so scared that she almost fell off the chair.

Fortunately, the maid next to her was quick to support her.

"Uncle Wang, I didn't know that Princess Yong'an was dating you. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it as an offense, Uncle Wang."

Nan Rongshen snorted coldly, walked straight past her and sat next to Meng Xiyue.

"This king will be offended."

“Uncle Wang…” Nan Rongwan’s heart sank when she saw him being so persistent.

If someone dared to treat her like this, she would have made a scene long ago, but at this moment, she didn't dare to say anything extra.

She was afraid that Nan Rongshen would throw her off the building.

"Your Highness, Princess Yong'an, I'm so sorry. The eldest princess just said the wrong thing at the moment. I apologize to the two of them on behalf of the eldest princess. Please forgive me."

Mu Ziyang quickly stood up and apologized.

As the prince consort, he must stand with Nan Rongwan now.

"Whoever did something wrong should apologize. Why? Could it be that Nan Rongwan is hungry, and if you, Mu Ziyang, eat, she will be full."

Nan Rongshen said coldly.

The icy cold look frightened Nan Rongwan so much that she shivered and quickly said, "Uncle Wang, I was wrong."

Nan Rongshen did not answer her and continued to stare at her coldly.

Nan Rongwan clenched her hands, a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes, but under his pressure, she still spoke reluctantly.

"Princess Yong'an, I'm sorry. I just spoke without restraint."

"I am a very generous person. I will not argue with the princess over such a small matter."

Meng Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at her sarcastically, "Does the eldest princess still want to have dinner with us?"

Nan Rongwan was thinking, she wanted to know what the two of them wanted to talk about when they met in private.

If Meng Xiyue were to hook up with Nan Rongshen, her royal brother would be in danger.

Although Nan Rongshen likes homosexuality, Meng Xiyue is so beautiful that she might be able to make him a gay.

While she was thinking, Nan Rongshen gave the order in a cold voice.

"Go away yet."

Nan Rongwan was startled and turned away in fear.

Seeing Nan Rongwan, who had always been arrogant and willful, in such a miserable state, Meng Xiyue couldn't help but give Nan Rongshen a thumbs up.

Nan Rongshen raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty is mighty."

"Well... There's no need to be nice to her. She'll be obedient after being beaten twice."

Hearing his cruel words, Meng Xiyue felt a chill down her spine. The only person who could talk about beating the princess so casually was Nan Rongshen.

Meng Xiyue couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had always been polite to him and didn't anger him.

"Your Majesty is right."

"You have the king and the prince behind you, so there is no need to be afraid of her. If she causes trouble for you again, just chase her away."

Nan Rongshen said that since they were not in the same camp anyway, there was no need to go through the motions.

"Your Highness, you can do whatever you want, but I am a businessman now. In this capital, I rely on the ladies of the noble families. If I offend them, I will not be able to do business anymore."

Those noble families are all on the side of the eldest prince and Nan Rongwan. She can say sarcastic words because she hates them, but she can't say it openly.

"Now it seems like they are begging you to buy things?"

Nan Rongshen shook the teacup in his hand lightly. "Your skincare shop always sells out the moment the products are put on the shelves."

"That's what I call hunger marketing."

Meng Xiyue was very proud. Now the skin care products shop opens once every ten days, but every time it opens, everything on the shelves will be cleared out.

The less they have, the harder they fight for it.

"Hunger marketing, this term is good."

Nan Rongshen drank the tea in his mouth and looked up at Meng Xiyue.

"Why did you invite me here today?"

"I'm here to discuss business, Lord."

Meng Xiyue looked at him in confusion. Wasn't this a question asked even though he already knew the answer? Besides business, there were other things they could talk about.

"Uh...yes, talking about business."

Nan Rongshen held the teacup tightly and raised his hand to drink water, but when the cup reached his lips, he found it was empty.

He put his hand down awkwardly.

"I'll pour tea for the prince."

Meng Xiyue said with tact.

She looked at Nan Rongshen with a flattering face, "Your Majesty, I am where I am today thanks to your support. Now that the capital is stable, I want to develop outside."

Nan Rongshen looked at her and said after a moment, "Okay, but many places in Nanrong Country are controlled by a noble family. It won't be easy for you to blend in."

She opened a shop in the capital. Although the eldest prince and his faction were wary of her, they could not stop her because they were involved.

If Meng Xiyue wanted to open shops across the country, the eldest prince's faction would definitely not allow it.

If they give the order, the nobles from all over the place will also support it. Once they are excluded by them, Meng Xiyue’s things will not survive no matter how good they are.

Even the shop he opened had to pay enough money to survive.

Therefore, although he had many shops, he only made money from the ones in nearby states and counties, while the others were almost all swallowed up by those wealthy families.

"I can provide you with some help, but I can't go that far."

Those aristocratic families are no different from local tyrants.

Meng Xiyue had naturally inquired about all of this, "I just need the prince's connections."

As he spoke, Meng Xiyue took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is my idea. Take a look at it first."

Nan Rongshen took the paper, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"Join ..."

"That's right. Joining a franchise is the best and fastest way to open stores all over Nanrong Country."

Meng Xiyue thought about it for a long time. She knew that joining was a bit risky, but the power of the aristocratic families in Nanrong Kingdom was too strong, and she had no way to compete with them now.

"If we can't integrate, we can find an agent who can integrate with them. They can be local gentry or those aristocratic families. They only need to pay me the agency fee every year and then get the goods from us. As for how to buy, how much to buy, and how much profit to make, it's all their own."

Nan Rongshen quickly understood what she meant. Meng Xiyue earned the agency fee and the money they earned from purchasing goods.

No one can resist money, including those aristocratic families. Even if they don't do business for the sake of reputation, they will still find someone to run it privately.

Almost all the local wealthy businessmen have close ties with the local nobles.

Anyway, no matter what, as long as they become agents, they will open a shop.
