Ye Biqing smiled and said: "Your Highness, our tentative plan is to leave Zhejiang with your big ship. We may stop in Yangzhou before heading north, and then continue north."

After hearing this, Zhu Song understood that he was going to the north.

"The north is not as cold as Jiangnan. The north is much colder than Jiangnan. Why do the three girls have to go so far? Finding a place to stay in the south is not an option. It is better to accept it than going to the bitter cold land in the north.

."

Ye Biqing smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, it is not because of us that you don't want to stay in the south. First, my identity in Jiangnan is known to everyone. If I want to change my identity in the future, I will have to go further. Second, the common people are really short of money...

"

"Houses in the north are relatively cheaper when they are out of production, so we plan to continue going north, buy some houses out of production, and stay here to live."

After Zhu Song stopped, he understood. After all, Ye Biqing was the wife of the first salt merchant in Jiangnan. Why was she short of money? To put it bluntly, it was Ye Jin'er's fault. Counting this little girl from Yanyu Tower, I think I have already counted Cheng Lou.

I have almost as many silver liang flowers as I can mobilize.

"I see, let's get to know each other. If you need anything, Miss Ye...oh no, Miss Xiaoqing, just ask, I will definitely help you if I can."

Ye Biqing stood up and cupped her hands towards Zhu Song: "Your Highness, that's not what Cao Min meant. I am very grateful to be able to leave Zhejiang Cao Min with His Highness's royal power. Cao Min came this time not to cry for poverty and sell miserably, nor to borrow His Highness's money.

."

Zhu Song understands that a woman like Ye Biqing is smart and strong, and she also has strong self-esteem, especially since the two of them had been honest with each other, but nothing happened. This is really a relationship that people who have other relationships with him cannot imagine.

Feel.

To be honest, Zhu Song is a little confused about which one is the real Ye Biqing, the one who was so coquettish and wild that day? Or the one who is simple, elegant, restrained and courteous today.

But what is certain is that her self-esteem must be very strong.

Zhu Song frowned and nodded.

"Well, in that case, I won't say anything more. After arriving in Yangzhou, I will send you there, which is when we part ways. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we can meet again."

Hearing Zhu Song's parting words now, Ye Biqing smiled softly. Her smile was like the afternoon sun, gorgeous but not vicious, warm and making people feel happy.

"Your Highness does not need to rush to say these words, but the common people see that His Highness frowns, presumably because he is worried about the salt tax in Jianghuai, right?"

When Zhu Song heard this, he became vigilant. Now that Ye Biqing had cleared herself, Zhu Song didn't want to investigate whether she and Shen Zhengcong had too much involvement. Maybe he felt pity for her, maybe because

She helped herself, but that didn't mean she could ask about her plans and the court's secrets.

Zhu Song's expression turned grim.

"Miss Xiaoqing, I don't want to talk to you about these things. I don't want to hear more about your past stories, and I don't want to pursue them. I also ask you to position yourself properly."

Seeing that she was angry, Ye Biqing hurriedly stood up and knelt down.

"Your Highness, that's not what Cao Min means. It's just that Cao Min understands the situation in Huaihe River. After all... after all... Cao Min was Shen Zhengcong's wife before. He was a salt merchant in Hangzhou, but he is actually from Yangzhou. His relationship with Yangzhou is

It’s also very close.”

"So I still know a little bit about the common people in Yangzhou. The common people just want to help His Highness. In fact... In fact, ever since the first meeting between the common people and His Highness, the common people's psychology has always had the lingering shadow of His Highness.

Especially later...when we were in Cong's study in Shenzhen, I had already fallen in love with His Highness."

"Caomin knows that Caomin's body is not clean, and Caomin does not expect to get any status. Caomin just wants to stay by His Highness's side as a concubine, even if it can help him a little bit..."

If she really had a motive, for example, for money, then Zhu Song could handle it calmly, but when she said that she was attracted to him, Zhu Song really didn't know whether to believe it or not.

On the one hand, I feel that she is pitiful, and it is understandable that she wants to be attached to a man. She is a prostitute from a brothel and has both sexual and artistic skills. If she stays by his side and becomes a concubine, it will not be considered a humiliation to herself.

But who knows if she wants anything else?

What is certain is that she must be a smart woman. She knew how to get close to Shen Zhengcong and gain his trust completely. She had been prepared many years ago and snatched Shen Zhengcong's life-saving salt as her own life-saving charm.

.

She had known for a long time that Shen Zheng could not go far from this road and would be liquidated one day, but could she see that she would also be liquidated one day in front of the emperor and in the court? Was she finishing her harvest?

Will he climb to a higher position in the future? Does he want to climb to the emperor's side?

Zhu Di was a womanizer. She only saw war and the world in her eyes, and future generations would only think of her as a person who worked hard to cure herself, lived in the night and slept without food. Zhu Song was not worried that Ye Biqing would charm Zhu Di, but with such a femme fatale,

It's better not to stay by your side easily.

But if she really has a way to help her solve the Yangzhou salt tax issue, it doesn't mean that she can't listen. He can give her some silver. Of course, she can't promise herself to him.

"Tell me your solution first. If you really have a good solution, I can grant you a wish. Of course, not all wishes can be fulfilled. You'd better think about it yourself."

Ye Biqing looked happy. In fact, she really shouldn't have said those words just now. She was absolutely in love with Zhu Song, but Zhu Song was handsome, charming, and the prince of the imperial court. Such a man was simply unmatched in the world.

A high-quality man cannot be better than a high-quality man.

Ye Biqing also hopes that she can always be by Zhu Song's side and even get a status, but she also understands that this is almost impossible. Apart from anything else, she only talks about her identity as a prostitute and being a prostitute by her side.

Yes, it is very difficult. How can you expect to have a legitimate identity by his side?

I originally planned to do it step by step, but just now I never expected that I ended up saying it out of desperation.

Ye Biqing stood up.

"Your Highness, the people's solution is that Shen Zhengcong has a distant relative in Yangzhou, and the salt tax from Huaihe and Huaihe will be turned over on the pretext that all of it will be handed over to the court. And according to what the people know, the situation in Yangzhou is not as complicated as that in Hangzhou, but it is difficult to
