"Is that the wrong attitude?" Emperor Xuanming said lightly, "I see you don’t feel you’ve done anything wrong at all."
"Your Majesty, it was my mistake." Chu Heng paused and seamlessly adopted a wronged posture.
Emperor Xuanming’s mouth twitched slightly, "Hmph, then tell , where did you go wrong?"
"My mistake was not reporting this matter to Your Majesty sooner." Chu Heng quickly ca up with a reason.
Emperor Xuanming squinted his eyes and said, "Since you know you’ve erred, shouldn’t you make ands?"
"...Indeed, but I don’t know how Your Majesty would like to compensate." Chu Heng would be silly not to realize Emperor Xuanming was intentionally stretching this out.
"I want to do business with Madam Chu, it’s for my personal estate, not the Ministry of Revenue. Minister Chu, would you mind going ho and putting in a good word with Madam Chu?"
"Your Majesty, aren’t you plainly asking to go ho and talk in her ear?" Chu Heng was a bit speechless.
"What? You can’t?" Emperor Xuanming’s face imdiately darkened.
Chu Heng shook his head, "I can do that, but please don’t let outsiders know, or I’ll lose face at ho."
"Minister Chu still has authority at ho?" Emperor Xuanming’s expression was sowhat peculiar.
Even though he knew Chu Heng was purposely cooperating with him, he felt at ease, and naturally enjoyed talking with him. This was also why Emperor Xuanming didn’t want to lose such a good subject.
If Chu Heng were greedy for power or lacked ability.
He wouldn’t miss him to this extent.
But Chu Heng wasn’t greedy for power, and he could solve many worries for him.
Even as the Emperor, Emperor Xuanming had his own desires; he didn’t want a minister who could not only make him happy but also enrich his coffers to leave.
Of course, all this was based on the premise that the Chu family had no thoughts of rebellion.
Chu Heng returned from the palace, using this as an excuse, he skipped work to return ho.
"Why are you back so early?" Ye Muyu was quite pleasantly surprised.
"I went to the palace." Chu Heng explained the situation.
Ye Muyu listened, satisfied, and pinched his cheek, "Very good, in the future, don’t spend all your ti on governnt affairs. Even without you at the yan, it still operates smoothly."
"Understood, I’ll try to be ho more often." Seeing her happy, Chu Heng couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"By the way, what did the Emperor talk to you about when you went to the palace?" Ye Muyu knew Emperor Xuanming never summoned Chu Heng for no reason.
Chu Heng nodded, "Hmm, the Emperor wants to do business with you in glazed mirrors. How do you propose we cooperate?"
"Cooperation is fine, give the Emperor a thirty percent profit and let him use the official newspaper to advertise for us." In front of Chu Heng, Ye Muyu didn’t hesitate to use terms that were hard for people of this era to understand.
She felt very comfortable and carefree, not fearing that Chu Heng wouldn’t understand her.
Now that both of them had lived in two different worlds, their values had grown closer, and naturally, their affections had deepened.
"Alright, I’ll write up the specific contract, and you can read it." Chu Heng reached out, took the inkwell on the desk, and began to slowly grind ink.
Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows, "I can write it myself too."
"You’ve already been writing for a long ti today, doesn’t your wrist hurt?" Chu Heng shook his head disapprovingly, "You can also take your ti writing books, writing non-stop like this will be unbearable."
"Oh, so you care about ." Ye Muyu bent down, kissed him on the cheek, and said with a smile.
Compared to her previous reserved nature, after Chu Heng woke up again, her emotions were noticeably more straightforward.
