From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1230

It was just getting light, and the streets were still a little dark, but Zhou Yuan and the others had already sneaked out.

The Shenque were divided into groups of three or five people, and they set out from various roads, blending into the teams of people who had left early, heading to their new temporary residence.

"They are not Han Chinese, but Selekul people, who came from the west."

"It is also a large family, with more than 60 people in total, including several branches."

"They migrated from the west, first to Kashgar, lived there for a while, and then came to the Ili region."

"They are engaged in the jade trading business and are very successful. They are considered a well-known wealthy merchant family in the Ili region."

"After the establishment of the Yarkand Kingdom, they have been facing the local government's plunder and tax oppression. They are in a stage of urgent need for change."

"According to their head of the family, the family wealth will be exhausted in three to five years at most."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingying smiled and whispered: "This is the resource left to me by the head of the department. They have established contact with the inner court department for more than five years and are trustworthy."

"After I came here, I communicated with them a lot, and the judgments they made are still trustworthy."

The Selekul people, who had already received the news, arranged many secret guards at the back door and successfully welcomed Zhou Yuan and others in.

The head of the family, Queenie, was a strong man in his fifties, tall and fat, with a full beard.

He didn't say anything nonsense. After welcoming Zhou Yuan in, he fell to his knees.

"Prince Wei! Help! I can't live anymore!"

As if it was pre-planned, all of Queenie's family members and servants knelt down in unison.

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Queenie, what do you have to kneel down to talk about? Get up quickly."

Although he said so, Zhou Yuan sighed in his heart.

The other party was too humble, and he must have something to ask for. Oh, he really knew how to pick the time.

Queenie knew how to advance and retreat. She stood up quickly and whispered, "The Yarkand royal family is too much of a bully. They blackmail us with all kinds of excuses, and sometimes even ask for money directly. We can't stand it anymore!"

"The sky in the Western Regions is too dark. Now that Prince Wei is here, the sun is here. Please let Prince Wei take charge and establish real rules here!"

He knelt, but he stood up as soon as he was called. He had an attitude, but there was no suspicion of emotional coercion.

He didn't talk about personal desires, but only talked about the principles that everyone understood, and flattered him by the way.

This Queenie, there is a reason why his business is so big.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. As long as you want to talk, I will listen to you."

"As everyone knows, I, Zhou Yuan, am a person who listens to words."

Queenie certainly understood what Zhou Yuan meant. It was obvious that if there was something to say, just talk about it. Don't play those messy things. I don't buy it.

So he nodded and said, "Your Highness, please! Your Highness is well known to me, so I have a surprise for you!"

He clapped his hands as he walked forward.

Then, seven or eight women appeared in front of him, all of them were beautiful women with excellent figures and stunning looks. The youngest was estimated to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest looked to be thirty years old. Some were young and immature, while others were gentle and charming. They were really good in their own ways!

Quinnie laughed and said, "Your Highness, these women are all good women with clear backgrounds, and they will definitely serve you."

"Your Highness is fair to all ages, so the age range is wide, so you can pick whatever you want."

Zhou Yuan did not speak, and even had no expression, because he knew someone would speak.

"Fuck you..."

Ye Qingying drew out her sword and shouted, "What are you doing, old man! Shameless! Don't lead my junior brother astray!"

After she finished speaking, she glared at Zhou Yuan and said, "What's that expression on your face? You don't like it, but you're still staring at the opposite side? What are you pretending for? If you look at me again, I'll dig your eyes out!"

Zhou Yuan coughed twice and said aggrievedly, "Second Senior Sister, you contacted the person, you found the place, and the beauty was called by someone, what did I do wrong?"

Ye Qingying said, "You are obviously moved!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Absolutely not! If you don't believe me, touch it!"

He put Ye Qingying's hand on his heart.

Ye Qingying pulled her hand away, snorted, and then said, "I'm not Jianjia Ningyue. You can't mess around with me while I'm here."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to Second Senior Sister."

Zhou Yuan was sweating profusely.

And Queenie wanted to die...

Oh my god, how come this prince has an affair with the official of the Inner Court? This time I flattered the wrong person.

He suddenly had an idea and said, "Don't get me wrong! I want everyone to see if they are good candidates and have the opportunity to enter the Inner Court and help the court."

Ye Qingying said coldly, "Really? Then I want all the Inner Courts."

Queenie opened her mouth,He was speechless and didn't dare to answer. Among them were his three daughters. How could he send them to the inner court to suffer? Seeing him embarrassed, Zhou Yuan finally couldn't help laughing. He patted Queenie's shoulder and said, "You see, sometimes being too smart is not a good thing, especially being smart in front of smart people, it will sooner or later fall." "Master Queenie, we have a clear mind. If you do your job well, you can get the corresponding things. Other things are useless." Ye Qingying interrupted at the right time: "What do the sisters of the Bai family say?" Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said, "That's because the Bai family is special. Whether there are sisters of the Bai family or not, their fate is the same." "Of course, there is, it's a good thing."

Ye Qingying rolled her eyes and said, "It's a pity that such a good thing will not be your turn in the future."

Zhou Yuan said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. I don't care at all. I'm not so eager for women."

Ye Qingying said, "But I heard that Ayinizi of the Yier family is very interested in you?"

Zhou Yuan's face suddenly darkened. He couldn't help but pull the second sister aside and whispered, "No... Time is so tight, you are all in the mood to talk about this? Who told you!"

After speaking, he looked at Xiaoying.

Xiaoying shook her head and said, "Xiaoying doesn't know!"

Zhou Yuan beat his chest and stamped his feet: "You don't know every time, but you did everything, Xiaoying, you disappoint your brother too much."

Ye Qingying said, "Chenxi said it when she was healing me last night."

"Ah?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment and stared, "No, Chenxi?"

He looked at Chenxi and found that the girl was looking into the distance, looking like she had nothing to do with it.

Xiaoying, with a face full of grievance, whispered: "You, brother, you wronged me..."

"Hey Xiaoying, brother didn't mean that..."

Zhou Yuan was embarrassed, what the hell was going on!

It wasn't just him who was embarrassed, but also Queenie.

This guy had already seen something was wrong, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Prince Wei! Officer Ye! I know where the people from the Tsarist Kingdom are!"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qingying's eyebrows immediately raised, and she looked directly at Queenie.

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice: "Talk inside, tell me in detail."
