The Empress Dowager's family and her direct officials all wanted to share the overseas trade quota.

This is not inconsistent with the original intention of Wuyou and King Jing. As long as they provide standard goods with guaranteed quality and quantity, they can also sign a cooperation contract with King Jing.

King Jing and Wuyou will not pay special attention to the political purposes hidden behind these families for the time being.

The cultivators who served as the king's personal guards, in addition to protecting the safety of the king and queen, also took the time to investigate the family that was secretly making moves.

The results of the investigation came out quickly, and it was discovered that several families were secretly colluding with the enemy country in an attempt to take away the trade shares of other families.

The purpose is to disrupt the contracts signed by other families.

After King Jing and Wuyou learned about this, they decided to play along. They deliberately spread the news that they would sign contracts with various cooperating families at a grand trade signing ceremony.

Those families with ulterior motives thought they had an opportunity and sent people to infiltrate the ceremony.

On the day of the ceremony, the scene was bustling with activity. Just when everyone thought everything was going smoothly, King Jing suddenly issued an order to round up all the spies who had infiltrated.

It turned out that the cultivators and the Imperial Guards had already secretly laid a tight net. Those who tried to disrupt the signing ceremony were caught on the spot.

The conspiracy between those families and the enemy country was completely shattered, and those families received the punishment they deserved.

After this battle, the prestige of King Jing and Wuyou increased greatly.

Although there was a minor incident during the signing ceremony, we still signed a cooperation agreement with the family that we had already agreed to cooperate with.

The Empress Dowager's family failed to gain the share of other families and their own share was cut in half.

They decided to temporarily suspend their various plots. The Queen Mother and her family discovered that their attempt to confront King Jing and Wuyou was like an ant trying to shake a tree.

So he gave up his evil intentions and repaired his relationship with Jixi and Wuyou, restoring their share to the original amount. You know, if the amount was reduced by half, they would lose more than ten thousand taels of silver on each voyage.

The queen's family originally intended to seize power and usurp the throne. They wanted to support a prince to succeed to the throne on the surface, and then use their own power to control the new king as a puppet of the family.

But it now seems that King Jing has the greatest power among all the websites. Although he has no interest in the throne, if King Jing wants to compete for the position of future king, he should have the best chance of winning. He does not need to be controlled by any family forces, nor does he need their secret support.

After Wuyou's treatment, the old king became younger and younger.

Therefore, several princes who originally had ambitions for the throne have now given up their ambitions. After all, the king is strong and healthy. If they focus on fighting for the throne during this period, not only will they fail, but they will also be kicked out early because their ambitions are exposed.

They all saw a fact, that is, King Jing, who had no interest in the throne and was devoted to business, was becoming more and more powerful.

All the merchants and big families in the country wanted to make more money from King Jing.

King Jing’s status in the Xilan Kingdom can be said to be so high that he can command the support of hundreds of people.

In addition to being envious and jealous, the other brothers were also thinking about how they could get in touch with King Jing and follow him to get a bigger share of the quota and earn more money.

You know, to maintain one's position, one needs to raise private soldiers and counselors, and all of these require a large amount of money.

So while the king was in good health, the princes focused on making money and temporarily hid their inappropriate thoughts.

The Queen Mother's family, seeing the power of Prince Jing, had already changed their strategy. They sent people to convey their goodwill to Prince Jing and Wuyou, begging them to restore the originally agreed amount.

King Jing and Wuyou naturally understood their intentions. It was okay. After negotiations, they agreed to restore their rations on the next voyage.

At the same time, Wuyou was not idle in the palace. She began to teach the concubines in the harem some simple methods of cultivation to help them strengthen their bodies.

The concubines became more and more respectful to Wuyou, and the atmosphere in the harem gradually became harmonious.

The concubines in the harem put aside their inappropriate thoughts about Prince Jing, the unmarried princess, and focused on getting along with him. Some even actively tried to curry favor with Wuyou, hoping to gain more trade quotas for their families.

The old king was very pleased to see that the country was thriving thanks to the efforts of King Jing and Wuyou, and he had even more trust in them.

And those families that once had evil intentions have become much more obedient after this lesson.

The king was thinking of handing over the country to King Jing to govern. He secretly called King Jing and Wuyou together and proposed that King Jing be the future crown prince.

King Jing still didn't like the idea of being king. He was a carefree person who loved traveling and making money in business, and he disliked the intrigues and schemes of the court.

The old king had no choice, as his favorite King Jing, who was also his most cherished son, had no intention of inheriting his throne.

The other sons were vying for the position of king, either openly or secretly, but the old king was not optimistic about their ambitions and abilities. This was a contradiction that was difficult to resolve.

Fortunately, he is in good health now and does not need to consider the important issue of appointing a crown prince in the near future.
