After the eldest princess was reborn, she was forced to bind the power system

Chapter 14 Negotiating Conditions

Xia Hanyu couldn't help but look at him and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've long been used to it, not to mention they don't mean any harm."

The three people inside were all wealthy businessmen who had been selected by her and were kind-hearted.

"I am incompetent and cannot protect His Highness."

Thinking of someone, Xia Ji couldn't hide his rage.

If it wasn't for that man's evil intentions and ulterior motives, how could His Highness be deceived by him and bear such a reputation!

Although I don’t know why His Highness suddenly woke up now, it is a good thing for him.

Xia Hanyu didn't expect that his casual words would cause the other party to blame himself so much. She was surprised and comforted him.

"It has nothing to do with you at this time, so you don't need to blame yourself."

In the last life, she also disliked him because he often caused trouble for Shi Heng. Now she sees Shi Heng clearly and understands his loyalty.

"Let's go, go in with me."

"yes."

Xia Ji nodded and raised his hand slightly. The Jin Yiwei on the side quickly pushed the door open, and the voices inside were muted.

Rong Fugui looked at Xie Yi with a guilty conscience and whispered, "Her Highness the Princess will not hear what I just said!"

Thinking of this, I couldn't stop my feet from weakening, and I lowered my head in even more fear.

Xie Yi smiled and said nothing, her figure was as tall as a bamboo, her warm and cold eyes fell on the beautiful woman who was so absorbed in the painting, then she lowered her head slightly and knelt down respectfully.

"Thank you from the common people. Please pay your respects to Your Royal Highness the Princess."

Rong Fugui and Zheng Hai also bent their knees and fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, feeling guilty and sweating.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The three of them stood up, but Xie Yi's posture remained elegant.

"You three, please take a seat."

Xia Hanyu walked aside and sat down, looking noble and elegant.

Xie Yi just hesitated and sat down opposite her. The other two people quickly followed suit, but they were a little uneasy.

Xia Hanyu smiled and said, "Xia Ji, sit down too."

"yes."

Xia Ji nodded and sat on the right side of Xia Hanyu. He looked like a protector and his sharp eyes fell coldly on Xie Yi.

Xie Yi's gentle posture, like the bright white moonlight, actually made Xia Ji's expression completely cold.

In the past, Shi Heng also behaved like this, which is why His Highness gained such a reputation for being able to deceive.

Xia Hanyu just glanced at their faces lightly and then spoke.

"I think the three of you should already know the purpose of this palace. Do you have any other ideas?"

The three of them looked at each other, and Zheng Hai dared to speak first, "Your Highness, the common people want to know whether what Jin Yiwei said is true. As long as we donate money and food, your Majesty really promises that our descendants can take part in the scientific examination without any restrictions?"

"Of course I take it seriously, but it is limited to your immediate family members, and there will not be any preferential treatment in the examination room."

After all, what the court wants are talents, not mediocre people who only have money.

After Xia Hanyu finished speaking, he motioned to Xia Ji to open the brocade box and spread out the imperial edict for them to see clearly one by one.

After seeing the imperial edict, several people quickly stood up and saluted, then returned to their seats and sat down, feeling the stone in their hearts have been lifted.

Zheng Hai immediately said, "Your Highness, our Zheng family is willing to pay 200,000 taels of silver, 5,000 dans of grain, and 500 dans of salt, but there is one condition."

After saying this, he stood up and knelt down in fear. Rong Fugui beside him also had worried eyes.

Xia Hanyu was not angry at all, "Please tell me first."

Zheng Hai: "People hope that if my children and grandchildren take the scientific examination in the future, they will get fair results."

"Your Highness, you must also know that those of us who do business have always been looked down upon by others. Although we have great wealth, our status is low, so ordinary people are afraid that if their children take the scientific examination one day, they will be targeted and manipulated."

This is indeed something that can happen.

"I have agreed that when the time comes, I will ask Xia Ji to arrange for the Jin Yi Guards to keep an eye on you, but only for the two generations of your children and grandchildren."

This is because he is so generous.

"At that time, I will also ask my father to give you an imperial edict. Here are the vouchers for your descendants to take the scientific examination in the future."

Of course, it may not be needed in the future, because Xia Hanyu is ready to relax the conditions for the scientific examination at a certain time, but it must be under the premise of stabilizing the country and making the people live in peace, so this imperial edict is valuable now.
