Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 144

However, when I thought of the man next to Lord Zhou just now, I also thought of the decree of the Emperor of Chu Yuan Kingdom to arrange the marriage.

He thought to himself that maybe Chu Yuanguo had already seen through the identity of the real princess of their Nanyue Kingdom, which was why he granted her the marriage.

The Nanyue Kingdom was ungrateful and wanted to exchange the real princess back in order to escape the marriage arranged by the Emperor of Chuyuan Kingdom.

"You mean, the person the emperor has arranged for me to marry is that beautiful princess." Ren Deyuan was extremely surprised when he heard this.

"Sir Ren, although it is true that the emperor has granted you and the princess a marriage, it is obvious that the Nanyue Kingdom does not want to marry their beautiful princess to you." Zhou Mingjing had to pour a basin of cold water on Ren Deyuan.

I thought to myself, if the princess really married this old man, it would be like sticking a flower in cow dung.

"Hmph, since the emperor personally granted the marriage, I will definitely marry her." When Ren Deyuan heard that the princess of Nanyue Kingdom was unwilling to marry him, he became angry.

imperial study room

"Your Majesty, I have come here today to apologize!" Chu Haojue knelt at the foot of the imperial study and apologized to Chu Yuanming.

The situation today is urgent, and he hurriedly summoned the generals in the army to go out and look for Qiao Zhencheng. This matter should be explained to the emperor.

Otherwise people would think he was planning a rebellion.

"I heard that you mobilized a team of people to look for someone today?" Chu Yuanming actually heard what the secret guards said, but they didn't know who Chu Haojue was looking for.

However, Chu Yuanming did not doubt Chu Haojue.

"Well, Your Majesty, as soon as I left the palace today, I heard from my family that my father-in-law was kidnapped. I was so anxious that I sent people to the army to look for him." Chu Haojue said quickly.

"I wonder if my second brother's father-in-law is doing well now." The prince also heard about Qiao Zhencheng's arrest and Chu Haojue's entry into the palace, so he hurried over to ask.

"Father-in-law is fine." Chu Haojie said after thinking for a while.

"Who is so bold? How dare he kidnap a good man in broad daylight?" Chu Yuanming was also very shocked.

Do you doubt that the public security in their Chuyuan country has become so bad?

He thought to himself that he would have to ask the Jingzhao prefect about it later.

"Father, this matter is a bit..." Chu Haojue felt that the reason was really difficult to say.

"Tell me quickly, why was your father-in-law captured?" As soon as Chu Yuanming saw his son's expression, he knew that there must be an interesting reason for Qiao Zhencheng's kidnapping.

"My son's father-in-law was abducted by the people of Qingfeng Village and made a concubine." Chu Haojue found it difficult to say this reason.

But this is also the fact, and he cannot deceive the king.

"The wife of the chief bandit?" Chu Yuanming asked again, trying hard to suppress his smile. This answer was beyond his imagination.

It turns out that Qiao Zhencheng was spotted by the bandit leader and was taken away to be his "wife".

"Hahahaha!" Chu Yuanming burst into laughter, feeling that this reason was the real source of his laughter this year.

"Second brother, your father-in-law has a handsome face, no wonder the bandit leader was attracted by his beauty." The prince said with a smile. Thinking of Qiao Anan's bright little face, it is said that a woman resembles her father, which is true to some extent.

"Isn't it just a pretty face? It's still not safe for him to go out. Second brother, from now on, you have to send more people to protect your father-in-law." The more Chu Yuanming thought about it, the funnier it became.

"Your Majesty, I came here to tell you about my unauthorized mobilization of troops." Chu Haojue quickly changed the subject.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know you have your reasons." Chu Yuanming didn't take it to heart at all.

After all, he also knew that Chu Haojue was not the kind of person who didn't know the importance of things.

"Second brother, is your father-in-law really favored by a female bandit?" The prince was still very curious about this.

He thought that the Crown Princess had been more sensitive recently because of her pregnancy.

Later he told the Crown Princess about it as a joke, and I think the Crown Princess liked it too.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou, the Minister of Rites, and Lord Ren, the Minister of Justice, request to see you!" Eunuch Li came in and said.

"Why are they here together?" Chu Yuanming was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, you forgot that Lord Ren has been here before..." Eunuch Li reminded.

"Didn't I tell him to go find his fiancée?" Chu Yuanming thought, could it be that Ren Deyuan was not satisfied?

"Okay, let them in first." Chu Yuanming thought about it and decided to meet them first.

"Your humble servant pays homage to the Emperor. Long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty, long live His Majesty!

Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!

Meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

Ren Deyuan and Zhou Mingjing quickly saluted Chu Yuanming and the prince and said,

"No need to be polite, just stand up!" Chu Yuanming said.

"My two dear ministers, why are you here together?" Chu Yuanming asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me! The maidservant whom you arranged for me to marry has now become the princess of Nanyue Kingdom." Ren Deyuan knelt down quickly and said.

"Huh?" Chu Yuanming thought he had misheard.

Then he thought about what the second brother had told him, that the maid was the real Princess of Nanyue. He didn't expect that this matter would be exposed so quickly.

"Your Majesty, the princess of Nanyue Kingdom was disguised as a maid before. And the princess before was actually the real maid." Chu Haojue thought that the emperor had forgotten what he had said to him, so he quickly explained it again.

"Your Majesty, I believe that when you arranged the marriage between me and that maid, you thought that she was worthy of me. Now that maid has turned into a princess. How can I marry her?" Ren Deyuan had made up his mind that if he was to marry, he would only marry a princess from the Nanyue Kingdom.

"What do you think about this matter, Lord Zhou?" Chu Yuanming looked at Zhou Mingjing who was standing beside him.

After all, he had always been the one to entertain the envoys from both countries. Now that their identities had suddenly been swapped, he would definitely have to ask Zhou Mingjing about this.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just learned about this matter. It was only when I went to the post station today that I discovered that the princess of Nanyue Kingdom had been replaced." Zhou Mingjing said quickly.

"Father, I'm afraid the princess of Nanyue Kingdom doesn't want to marry Lord Ren, so she changed her identity back." said the prince.

Chu Yuanming looked at Chu Haojue, thinking about how Qiao Anan had insisted on marrying the maid to this Lord Ren, and thinking that they had known the identity of the princess for a long time.

He had also heard about what kind of person this Lord Ren was.

"My two beloved ministers, please go back first." Chu Yuanming waved his hand. He knew what was going on with this matter.

"What should we do about this matter, father?" asked the prince with a frown.

"This time, the two countries suddenly said they wanted to make a marriage alliance. What is the purpose of this trip? We don't know yet. But the two princesses are not content with what they have. Since I have already given Lord Ren a wife, today I will be kind enough to choose a concubine for Lord Ren." Since the princess of Nanyue Kingdom wanted to escape and marry Ren Deyuan, he would not let her do as she wished.

Wouldn't this be a slap in the face?
