Although the emperor and the imperial concubine both went back, with their orders, the people below immediately became busy.

In the afternoon of that day, eight pergolas were set up in the wide square below the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with four on one side, and about twenty sets and chairs were arranged under each pergola. The wide bright yellow tent above the head was directly connected from south to north, with the mighty wind blowing and the canvas rushing. When drums and music sounded on both sides, the sound was even more amplified several times, making it deafening.

Standing on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking down, it seemed as if the emperor's imperial pen was filled with golden ink, and the thick ink and colorful strokes were drawn on the earth.

And these thick and colorful strokes are destined to remain in history books.

Soon, when the imperial city was ready and as Zhu Feng's birthday was getting closer, envoys from various countries also came to the capital one after another.

Although Zhu Feng has paid great attention to the exchanges with the Western Regions, the South China and the Western countries in the past few years, and the Honglu Temple has played a more important role in the past few decades, they have never experienced such a thing. Soon, the inn was full, but envoys from various countries have come one after another.

So the prince came forward and discussed with several ministers in the court and several close friends who were closer to him, asking them to temporarily lend their houses in Beijing and provide them with them to live in the envoys.

And the most special one among them is the Special Envoy of the Padre Country.

Because they encountered wind and sand on the road, they arrived in the capital the latest day before the emperor's birthday. Before, because they had been waiting for them for a long time, the Honglu Temple even suspected that the Anxi Kingdom would not send special envoys to come this time. Fortunately, they dared to enter the imperial city before closing the city gate.

Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian went to greet him in person.

Because of the special relationship between the imperial concubine and the favorite concubine of Anxi Kingdom, the residence arranged for them this time was quite special. It was a house built by the imperial concubine in the city. After receiving them, Gu Yiyou and Tong Sinian directly took all the troops over.

Then, the news also came to the palace.

Zhu Feng was sitting with Nan Yan in Yikun Palace and eating sweet soup. Upon hearing the news, he put down the small bowl in his hand, looked at Nan Yan with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect that on this birthday, I found out a private property of the imperial concubine."

Nan Yan glanced at him: "Why, can't I buy some property by myself?"

“…”

"Besides, the emperor went over to reward me with so many things, and it was all in vain and moldy? That's a pity."

Zhu Feng said: "You can take it out and buy a property, but you are not allowed to lend money to usury!"

After the emperor returned to the capital, he issued several imperial edicts, all of which encouraged business. Some people in the palace saw such signs and took out their spare money to lend money to usury. Zhu Feng investigated and dealt with several times, and there was a clear rule in the palace that people in the palace were strictly prohibited from taking out their money to lend money.

Nan Yan smiled and said, "I am not that stupid. I will take it out and lend it. Not to mention whether it can be recovered. It is embarrassing if I find it out. I am a noble concubine, so why don't I buy face if I want that little profit? It's not enough to buy face. For this money, it's better to buy a house and a land."

Zhu Feng gave her a disgust and said, "Look at you, he looks greedy for money."

"snort!"

The two of them said a few words and then calmed down. But after a while, Zhu Feng asked her again: "How much did you earn by buying a house?"

Nan Yan didn't want to pay attention to him, but after hearing this question, he couldn't help but want to show off, so he leaned over, raised a finger first, then pinched his fist, and then jumped out three fingers.

Zhu Feng was shocked: "You are—"

Nan Yandao: "Tripled!"

Zhu Feng couldn't believe his ears. Although he was the emperor and rich in the world, he was really surprised to hear the speed of making money like this. He frowned and said, "Where did you get such a big profit? You didn't use the title of a concubine to suppress others, right?"

Nan Yan immediately said: "Where can you do it!"

Zhu Feng said: "Then, how could it triple?"

Nanyan said: "Before, the emperor opened the northwest gate and encouraged trade with the countries in the Western Regions. When the merchants on their side came, they were not sure about doing business with the people here, and they all encountered wherever they were. But later, a merchant from the National Abnorth Kingdom opened an inn here. Because of language and food, the merchants from the other countries in the Western Regions lived in that inn, and set up stalls nearby. Not long after, the merchants gathered more and more. Later, the entire Western Regions had almost become the territory of those merchants in the Western Regions. Later, Western merchants and Nanyang merchants also came, and the territory of foreign merchants there was."

Zhu Feng said: "It's lively."

Nan Yan said: "Of course it's lively, and you can't even have a needle in it. If I hadn't bought a few houses there early, now it's ten times the price, people might not have been willing to sell it."

Zhu Feng said: "So you bought it early."

Nan Yan smiled and said, "Actually, Tong Sinian bought it early. When I was chatting with my uncle, I heard that he and Yiyou had bought a house there. I thought that the rewards given by the emperor were also placed, so I took some and gave them to them to help buy them. After buying them, they also rented out two of them. They used some rent as pocket money every month."

Zhu Feng said: "The people outside don't know that it is the property of the imperial concubine, right?"

Nan Yan said: "Of course I don't know. It's all Tong Sinian and the others who helped the concubines run, and they absolutely did not use their power to suppress others. The emperor can rest assured."

Zhu Feng said: "That's good, don't mess around outside. If someone comes to sue you one day, I will not favor you."

Nan Yan said: "The emperor said where did you go!"

The two of them joked and finished drinking sweet soup, so they asked someone to come in and collect the dishes. Because they would get up early tomorrow morning, Nanyan served Zhu Feng to go to bed early. But Zhu Feng was used to going to bed late and was still awake when he was already lying in bed. He put his hands behind his head and said, "I am a little surprised. This time, the envoy of the Absolute Kingdom was actually Gao Ye."

Nan Yan said: "What's strange about this?"

Zhu Feng said: "Didn't he say he didn't want to be an official before? Why did he become a special envoy again?"

Nan Yan said: "It is because he doesn't want to be an official that he is asked to do this important thing, but it may not necessarily be something that the important ministers do. Besides, the King of Anxi asked him to come here because of Xiyun."

Zhu Feng said: "That's right, you sisters have fewer opportunities to meet."

Nan Yan said, "If someone else comes, I'm not very interested in asking. If he comes, I'll be able to inquire about my sister's recent situation."
