Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter Fourteen

"Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor granted the marriage between the Second Prince and Miss Qiao yesterday. I heard that the Qiao family also gave the Emperor one million taels of silver." Chu Haokuan's confidant whispered to Chu Haokuan.

"Are you sure the Qiao family gave so much?" Chu Haokuan thought to himself, this Qiao family is really generous!

"I heard that the Qiao family brought five large boxes of cash, and the rest were banknotes and cash. Many people saw it, so the news must be true!"

"How does this second brother get involved with the Qiao family?" Chu Haokuan thought to himself, how nice it would be if the money was given to him!

The eldest prince has always felt that the position of crown prince should be his. After all, he is the eldest prince!

The third son was made the crown prince simply because he was the legitimate son.

However, in terms of ability and talent, I am no match for the third brother.

Therefore, the eldest prince secretly raised private soldiers, thinking that they would be useful one day. His biggest enemy, besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was the second prince.

After all, the second prince is well-known for his bravery, and who knows how many people would like to support him to take the throne.

"Your Highness, you must not let the second prince marry the girl from the Qiao family!" An aide said quickly.

"Does the prince know about this?" Chu Haokuan thought, if the prince knew about this, he would definitely stop it.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has naturally received information about this matter, but it seems that he did not do anything." The staff member thought for a while and said.

"Let's go to the Second Prince's Mansion!" The eldest prince thought that the Second Prince probably didn't want to marry the girl from the Qiao family. He should be honored if he could go and share his worries.

Thinking of this, the eldest prince walked out of the eldest prince's mansion quickly.

After receiving the favor of his future daughter-in-law, the second prince has been sitting in the study and has not yet recovered from his shock.

"Your Highness, the eldest prince is here." Eunuch Fu walked over and reminded.

"Brother?" Chu Haojue was a little surprised. What was the eldest prince doing in his house?

When the eldest prince stepped into the second prince's mansion for the first time, he was shocked by how empty it was.

"Is there anyone living in the Second Prince's Mansion?" the eldest prince couldn't help but wonder.

"Your Highness, the second prince seems to be living in the mansion." Ning An, the eldest prince's personal attendant, said uncertainly at this time.

"The servants in the Second Prince's mansion are so bold that they can't even keep the house clean!" The eldest prince thought to himself that the second prince was having a really bad time. Originally, he thought his family was living a tight life, but now it seems that the life in the second prince's mansion is really not like that of a human being.

"Your Highness, you are the one who governs well." Ning An flattered his master again.

The eldest prince proudly entered the second prince's study.

"Second brother, please don't blame me for coming here uninvited." The eldest prince said loudly.

"I wonder if my royal brother has something to do here today?" Chu Haojue looked at the eldest prince who came uninvited with some confusion. He really didn't understand why he came to his house.

"Second brother, I'm here today to help you solve your problem!" The eldest prince opened the folding fan in his hand and said seriously.

"Oh? I wonder what problem my royal brother wants to solve for me?" The second prince thought about it, but couldn't figure it out. If he had any problem, the eldest prince could solve it for him.

After all, his biggest problem before was lack of money.

And now, his future princess has solved the problem for him.

He didn't think that he had any problems that needed to be solved by his royal brother who was usually a nobody.

"Second brother, I heard that father wants you to marry a merchant's daughter as your principal wife. This is really an humiliation to your status as a prince. How can you marry a merchant's daughter as your principal wife, right?" The eldest prince seemed to treat the second prince as a child who could be easily fooled.

"My father has arranged this marriage for me, so I don't feel it is a disgrace to my status." Chu Haojue thought to himself that if he really married a lady from a wealthy family, he would probably have to pay for their support himself!

What a hassle!

This daughter-in-law, although of a low status, has money and can give herself a lot of pocket money every month!

His father was not as good to him as Qiao Anan was to him.

After all, he had been asking his father for a long time before he finally got 50,000 taels of silver, which was the money he had earned by selling his body.

"Second brother, this is really unfair to you! I have a way to solve this problem for you." The eldest prince thought that if he said this, the second prince would definitely be grateful to him.

"Oh? I wonder if the eldest prince has any good ideas to help his younger brother?" The second prince wanted to see what the eldest prince was up to, but he was not in a hurry.

"Second prince, why don't you go and tell father that you don't want to marry the girl from the Qiao family? As far as I know, Prime Minister Lin's eldest daughter, Lin Ruyi, seems to be interested in you. Only a noble lady like the one from the Lin family is worthy of being your principal wife." The eldest prince said quickly.

"But what if father blames us?" Chu Haojue heard this and looked at the eldest prince, who seemed to be very calculating.

Let me reject the Qiao family and marry the girl from the Lin family. If the emperor agreed, my father would have granted me the marriage with the girl from the Lin family long ago.

Why wait until now.

Besides, even if the Lin family girl had money, he didn't think that she could treat him the same way the eldest daughter of the Qiao family treated him.

"Don't worry, second brother. I will definitely go to the emperor to plead for you. If that doesn't work, I will just make a concession and grant the girl from the Qiao family the position of a concubine." The eldest prince was happy. He felt that the second prince must have taken the bait.

"In that case, thank you, my royal brother!" Chu Haojue thought to himself that his elder brother was quite calculating!

Humph, he asked me to cancel the marriage with the Qiao family, but he married the young lady of the Qiao family. Now all his abacus beads are flying in his face!

"No need to thank me. It is my elder brother's duty to share the worries for my second younger brother!" The eldest prince was very proud at this time. He felt that his plan was successful.

"However, I may disappoint my eldest brother. I'm afraid this will not work." Chu Haojue raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

Although he seldom interacted with the eldest prince on weekdays, Chu Haojue knew what he was planning, which was nothing more than the wealth of the Qiao family.

"Why?" The eldest prince, who was originally feeling complacent, put away his fan. He didn't expect that the second prince was just playing a trick on him!

"Didn't your Royal Brother find out clearly?" Chu Haojue looked at the eldest prince with a sad face, thinking that his brother's eating habits were really ugly.

"What do you want to find out?" The eldest prince thought carefully, wondering if there was anything he had missed.

But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty the Emperor wants my younger brother to marry into the Qiao family! My younger brother is not marrying a concubine, he is marrying into the Qiao family!" Chu Haojue said seriously while looking at the eldest prince.
