After becoming a concubine, she lived a miserable life every day.

Chapter 168 Tell me your conditions

At the same time, Chen asked to see Prince Rui again, and the news that she was called into the study by Prince Rui immediately spread in the palace.

Yunshen Pavilion.

Qiao Rongjin listened to Qin Yun's report without any emotion in his heart. He just said "Hmm" lightly.

Qinyun glanced at her master with some worry. The prince had been staying in Yunshen Pavilion these days, and they could all see that the prince was really concerned about their master. But for men, the hardest thing to forget is the woman they loved at first, and the woman the prince loved was their master's enemy. If the prince began to favor Chen again, would the master be very sad?

Seeing that Qinyun was staring at her master blankly and had no intention of leaving, Qinglian coughed.

Qin Yun heard the voice and immediately left.

She knew that in the master's heart, the most important and trusted maid was Sister Qinglian. After all, she was brought from the master's mother's home, so her status was naturally extraordinary. So usually at times like this, the two of them would probably have a secret conversation, so she was also tactful.

After Qinyun left, Qinglian looked at her master worriedly. Although she knew that her master never took the prince to heart, she was worried that her master's mood would be affected. She wanted to comfort her, "Master, I have seen Chen these days. She is very different from before, as if she has aged ten years. Such a person can no longer confuse the prince's heart. In my opinion, Chen will not be able to get up." Therefore, she will not be your opponent in the future, and it is even more impossible for her to hurt you and the young master. Qinglian did not say this.

She knew that what her master was worried about now was not who the prince favored or cared about, but the safety of the young master and the peace of Yunshen Pavilion.

Hearing this, Qiao Rongjin smiled and said, "We don't need to care about what happens to Chen, as long as it doesn't happen to us."

"Yes." Qinglian felt relieved when he saw that his master was not affected by this matter.

Seeing his master tapping his fingers on the table, Qinglian understood this little action the master usually makes when thinking, so he waited quietly without disturbing him.

Qiao Rongjin didn't say anything just now because he was wondering what prescription Chen had come up with this time.

It is said that as far as she knows, the recipes of the Chen Society written in the book include glass making, soap, and salt making, which have been used before, as well as paper making, woodblock printing, sugar making, and saltpeter ice making. She even has the methods for the two biggest chips, cement making and gunpowder making. I wonder what she will use this time?

But if you put yourself in her shoes, if it were her, she would probably bring out the papermaking and woodblock printing techniques. As for the methods of making cement and gunpowder, those were things that could be kept as trump cards, and Chen must know them, so she would not easily bring them out.

In the study, Qi Heng heard this and looked deeply at Chen, who had a confident look on her face.

He asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure your method can produce such flawless white paper?"

"Of course. Don't you know the results after the glass is made? I'm not the kind of person who shoots without a purpose. Once the papermaking technology is produced, what huge profits and benefits it can bring, I believe Your Highness knows better than me, a woman in a secluded house, right?" Chen looked at the handsome man in front of her with firm eyes. The confidence that had disappeared during this period has returned.

Hearing this, Qi Heng fell into deep thought.

What Chen said was right. The successful production of glass was enough to prove that she did not lie. Also, what the outside world does not know at present is that after the experiment of the method of making refined salt provided by Chen, refined salt was really produced. I believe that it will not be long before refined salt will be officially released, and the sensation it will cause will definitely be huge.

Compared with the production of refined salt and glass, the successful production of soap is a very small matter, but this thing will surely appear before the world in some day.

The three recipes provided by Chen were all successfully produced, so the papermaking technique she was talking about now was definitely true. If it was really possible to produce pure white paper in large quantities, Qi Heng knew just by thinking about it that this would definitely be an achievement that would go down in history, and the benefits it would bring to the Dajing Dynasty would be absolutely immeasurable.

What is the purpose of Chen coming here today and offering this prescription? Qi Heng looked at her deeply.

But no matter why, for the sake of papermaking, he had to accept her conditions. Of course, if the conditions were too excessive, he would naturally not agree.

As for why Chen knew how to make paper, Qi Heng did not delve into it. After all, he had known for a long time that Chen had a huge secret, so he did not intend to ask. Even if he asked, she would not tell the truth. He just wanted to get the thing.

Thinking about the time when the refined salt was produced and how his father still sent someone to call him into the palace to give him instructions even after dark, Qi Heng stared at Chen with deep eyes.

Now, Chen has entered the sight of my father. No, not only my father, but I am afraid that all the capable people in Dajing are paying attention to her and even coveting her. It has come to this point that even if he is Prince Rui, the fifth son of the current emperor, it is still difficult to keep her.

Thinking of the several groups of top masters who wanted to enter Luoyanju and were stopped by him after the glass was made, Qi Heng's expression turned cold.

Now, Chen was no longer just his concubine, but this was all her own fault. She must have brought this upon herself. She must have understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure. After all, she was not stupid. The reason was that she was just fearless, so she must have a trump card that she thought could save her life.

Thinking of Qi Zhao, Qi Heng sighed inwardly. He had tried his best. Taking Chen back home was the last thing he did for Chen. In the future, he would not do the same again. Even if Zhao'er came to find him, Chen herself was too aggressive and he could not save her.

Seeing that Qi Heng didn't say anything and just looked at her with deep and complicated eyes, Chen felt a little flustered inside, but she forced herself to endure it, and still looked calm on the surface.

"Tell me your conditions." Qi Heng said coldly.

Hearing this, Chen's eyes flashed. She knew that he could not refuse this prescription. Thinking of the humiliation she had suffered during this period, Chen lowered her head, and a strong murderous intent flashed in her eyes. The moment she raised her head, the murderous intent in her eyes disappeared instantly, and there was only calmness. "Your Majesty, you can let me take out the prescription, but I have three conditions that you must agree to."

Hearing this, Qi Heng's eyes turned several degrees colder when he looked at Chen, and his impatience with her became even deeper. "Tell me about it."

Whether she agreed or not was another matter. He wanted to see what conditions she could come up with.

Chen obviously saw Qi Heng's displeasure, but she had to put forward her conditions today. If he couldn't do it, she would not give him the recipe and see what he could do. Knowing that Qi Heng would definitely agree to her, Chen became more confident. "First condition, if the papermaking technique is invented, I want 20% of the profit. Do you agree to this?"
