Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 160 Overnight Discussion

Xu Fengyu was a man of action, and he couldn't wait until the next morning to attend the court session. After talking with Xu Yuexi, he immediately summoned Yue Rensong and Lou Moyu.

As for Lou Moyu and Yue Rensong, they had just returned home after sending Xu Yuexi off when they heard the prince's servant coming to deliver a message that the prince had summoned them, so they rushed to the palace without stopping.

After Xu Fengyu explained the general situation, the two of them agreed.

Yue Rensong was originally a great general with great military achievements. However, in the past two or three years, the wars between countries have subsided and the world has been peaceful, so he was recalled to Kyoto by the court.

Nowadays, he usually stays in the military camp in the capital, training his soldiers wholeheartedly.

Although there is no war now, Yue Rensong is well aware of the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. He understands that only by maintaining a strong military can the country be guaranteed long-term stability.

Of course, deep down in his heart he also longed to continue to be valued by the court. After all, he was still very young, with a long way to go in the future, and he wanted to go further.

However, there were many talented people in the court, and it was not easy for him to be reused.

Now, Xu Fengyu entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of disaster relief, and he was overwhelmed with emotion. At the same time, his gratitude towards Xu Yuexi became deeper and deeper.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best." Yue Rensong said.

Xu Fengyu nodded with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Xu Fengyu and Lou Moyu discussed the purchase of disaster relief supplies, and they discussed important issues such as price and transportation arrangements in detail.

For Lou Moyu, this was his first time discussing cooperation with the imperial court. Moreover, the other party was his future brother-in-law. Although he seemed calm on the surface, his heart was turbulent.

The entire negotiation process was full of challenges and tests, and both parties were looking for a balance point that could both satisfy their own interests and reach a consensus on cooperation.

Lou Moyu did not compromise unconditionally because of Xu Fengyu's identity. He is a businessman, and businessmen pursue profits, so he will of course consider his own interests.

But Xu Fengyu was his future brother-in-law after all, so he would still give him some convenience. In the end, Lou Moyu agreed to sell all the relief supplies to the court at a price 20% lower than the market price.

Since Yue Rensong was the person in charge of this disaster relief, after the price was agreed upon, many of the remaining issues were discussed and resolved by him and Lou Moyu.

And because of their relationship with Xu Yuexi, both parties are very dedicated and hope to get this matter done well so that their wife Xu Yuexi can see their abilities.

However, when the two heard Xu Fengyu say that the disaster relief money was provided by Xu Yuexi and that she had proposed a fundraising plan, they immediately donated money. Neither of them wanted to let their wives pay.

"Your Highness, I am willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to show my sincere love for the court!" Yue Rensong said.

"Your Highness, although I am not talented, I am willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to do my part for the court!" said Lou Moyu.

When Xu Fengyu heard this, his heart was filled with joy. He smiled and praised the two of them highly.

His two future brothers-in-law were very supportive. Each donated 100,000 taels of silver. Now he didn't have to worry about not having enough money.

Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. Why should he rely on the rich merchants for fundraising? His officials could also do it! They usually received salaries from his father, so now it was just right for them to donate some money.

Time passed quickly. After Xu Fengyu, Yue Rensong and Lou Moyu had discussed things, the night was as dark as ink. A bright moon hung in the sky, casting a cool light.

The three of them left the hall, and Xu Fengyu looked up at the night sky, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart. Since the return of the imperial sister, all his difficulties have been solved. The imperial sister is really his lucky star!

Yue Rensong was gazing silently into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking about. His eyes were firm and deep, revealing a calmness and wisdom.

Lou Moyu stood quietly by the side, fiddling with the jade pendant on his waist. But Xu Yuexi's beautiful face flashed in his mind. She had already fallen asleep, right?

After a while, Xu Fengyu broke the silence: "It's late at night, you should go back and rest."

"My minister retire."

"The common people resign."

The two turned and left, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.
