Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

After Yunying came to her senses, she thought about the dowry and became a little depressed again: "Hey! You have been fighting outside for many years, and most of the shops and farms in your family, as well as some silver, money, jewelry, etc., were given by the emperor. Moreover, Wang Man has been managing the household expenses for many years. When I took the account book, there were many places with deficits. The accounts don't add up."

"Besides, my father was an honest official. When I married into the family, I didn't have much dowry. And the family's expenses in the past ten years have basically been covered by my dowry. Only a few shops are still making some profit now."

"In this case, it will be difficult for us to prepare a generous dowry for Qianqian."

After saying this, Yunying let out a long sigh.

"Mother, you don't need to prepare too much dowry. Although your dowry was not much when you married father, isn't it also a good story? Everyone in the city knows that father treats you very well."

"Yesterday afternoon when I went to Yuexin Hall to study medicine, I heard people talking about it. They said that my father would never marry another woman or take a concubine in his lifetime, so those girls from aristocratic families could stop thinking about it."

Yunying held Chu Qianyu's hand a little tighter after hearing this, then looked at Chu Jun and asked, "You spread it?"

Chu Jun looked a little embarrassed, and laughed twice, "I told someone to spread the news after Madam Wang left. Otherwise, after what happened at the Qianqiu Banquet, I was afraid that other families would come forward to propose marriage. It's better to just stop the trouble once and for all."

Yunying didn't know what to say, so she simply brought the topic back to the dowry.

She looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Don't worry, mother will prepare everything for you. She will definitely let you marry in style."

Chu Qianyu moved her body towards Yunying, leaned her head on her shoulder and smiled, "Thank you, mother. But mother, please don't worry too much about this. You are just getting better. If you exhaust yourself again because of your daughter's matter, your daughter will feel guilty."

Yunying patted her hands and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother will pay attention."

Chu Jun felt warm at heart when he saw the mother and daughter like this. If it weren't for what happened to Wang Man, the family would probably be even happier sitting together now.

He also thought of what the emperor had told him to do when he went to court in the morning. This was just the right opportunity. His daughter had suggested to him earlier that he should use a trick of self-torture. Perhaps Ah Ying's worry about him would help him feel better.

Now it seems that what the emperor has instructed has come just in time.

So he coughed, cleared his throat, looked at the mother and daughter and said, "During the morning court today, the emperor said that there were many bandits in Qingchuan Peak not far away, and asked me to go there to deal with them."

When Chu Qianyu heard this, he jumped up from Yunying's shoulder, which scared Yunying who was standing next to him.

After Chu Qianyu realized what was happening, she quickly said, "Mother, I just heard father say that he was going to suppress the bandits, so I was shocked."

"It's okay!" Yunying shook her head.

Just as she was about to ask Chu Jun when they would leave, Chu Qianyu had already asked before her.

Chu Jun replied, "Originally, the emperor said we would leave today. But I remembered that the regent will come to propose marriage tomorrow. So I am going to report to the emperor later to see if we can go two days later or send someone else."

"Although the suppression of bandits is imminent, those bandits have been rampant for many days. It was only yesterday that news came that they had found their tracks. But it was not a coincidence. I didn't expect that all these things would happen at the same time."

Chu Qianyu's eyes darkened when she heard this. Today was the day when the fake Situ Yue went to Qingchuan Peak. I just don't know whether the emperor asked his father to go there for some other purpose or it was really a coincidence.

"Father, I wonder if the Emperor will blame you if you tell him you will go two days later. And didn't the Regent attend the morning court today? If he knew the Emperor sent you out on an errand, he wouldn't have said he would come to propose marriage tomorrow."

Chu Jun thought her words were very cute and laughed immediately, saying, "You probably don't know what kind of existence the Regent is in the court. It's common for him to not go to court. Unless there is something important in the court, he usually won't go."

Since the Situ family didn't interfere much in government affairs, Chu Qianyu didn't know much about this. Now that her father had said this, she didn't find it strange. It was something that Mo Yinan could do. And the emperor probably hoped that he wouldn't go.

Chu Jun continued, "Besides, didn't he also say that he would come to propose marriage tomorrow? I'm afraid he is busy preparing the betrothal gifts today."

"As for what you just said about the emperor blaming me, I'm not quite sure. I'll know after I go back and talk to him. But I think the emperor should understand. After all, it's not a small matter for the regent to come and propose marriage."

When Chu Qianyu heard that her father thought Mo Yinan could prepare the betrothal gifts himself, she thought to herself that it was strange. She didn't think Mo Yinan could prepare the betrothal gifts for her now. He must have asked his subordinates to prepare them. As long as they didn't lose their manners, it would be fine.

Without waiting for Chu Qianyu to speak, Yunying glanced at the sky outside the window and said, "It's getting late now. You should go to the palace and report to the emperor. Don't be too late."

"Okay." Chu Jun agreed, then stood up and said, "I'll come back from the palace and tell you about the situation later."

"Okay, go ahead." Yunying waved her hand.

After Chu Jun walked out, Chu Qianyu also found an excuse to leave.

After coming out of Bishuiyunju, he went straight out of the house to Yuexintang, dressed up as an ordinary person, and headed towards Fuguanglou.

Fortunately, when we arrived, the fake Situ Yue had not yet left. The originally scheduled time was to set off in the evening, which made things convenient.

The fake Situ Yue was surprised for a moment when she saw Chu Qianyu coming, but she quickly reacted and bowed to Chu Qianyu, saying, "Master, why are you here? Ming Zixi came just now and said that she wanted to go with you, and I agreed."

Chu Qianyu didn't bother to explain to her and went straight to the point: "The plan has changed. You can go again in two days. Go find Ming Zixi later and tell her that you have something to do and can't go today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Nan Xu's voice coming from outside.

"Come in." Chu Qianyu said.

Nan Xu walked in and was stunned for a moment when she saw the two people. Then she bowed to Chu Qianyu and said, "Master, there's a message from the Regent King saying he wants to see you. He's outside right now. Do you want to meet him in person?"

"Let me see him. You go down and take the person to the study first. I'll go out after I've packed up." After Chu Qianyu finished speaking, she walked towards the wardrobe beside her. She first picked out a set of clothes, then took out a box from the bottom layer and walked to the dressing table to put it down.

Upon seeing this, the fake Situ Yue and Nan Xu both retreated.

In just a cup of tea, Chu Qianyu had packed everything up, opened the door and walked out, with Nan Xu following behind.

Chu Qianyu walked and said, "Guard the area around the study room and don't let irrelevant people get close."

"Master, rest assured. I have already taken care of everything when you gave me the order just now."

When Chu Qianyu came to the study, she saw Mo Yinan sitting on a chair, looking a little anxious. When he saw her come in, he quickly stood up.

After looking around and seeing that they were the only two left after everyone else left, he quickly said, "As you expected, the news about us in the teahouse that day has leaked out. Now the emperor has ordered General Chu to go and suppress the bandits."
