Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 164

This can be considered as Qiao Anan's contribution to training his shadow guards.

"Bai Lu greets the master." Bai Lu bowed respectfully to Qiao Anan.

"No need to be polite, no need to be polite." Qiao Anan looked at Bai Lu and felt very happy.

Empress Xian, who was standing by, nodded in satisfaction. However, she was also a little confused about what Qiao Anan and the Emperor had just said.

Then she thought that the more she knew in the palace, the more dangerous it would be, so she didn't get to the bottom of it. It was much safer for her not to know those things. She didn't think that the emperor would be willing to assign a shadow guard to protect her.

It's better to just stay in Yuxiu Palace and enjoy your life. Besides, the perfume shop given to you by your daughter-in-law has made your pockets fatter, and the concubines in the palace also like that perfume very much.

Now, her life is so comfortable.

"Your Majesty, since it is nothing for me to do, I will go back first. I have also made an appointment with Concubine De and the others to play mahjong with me." Concubine Xian bowed and said.

"My beloved, please go back first." Chu Yuanming coughed lightly, then he remembered that Concubine Xian was still here, which he had just ignored.

Empress Xian: I am not a human, I am air, so you can’t see me!

After hearing what Chu Yuanming said, Empress Xian was not sad. Instead, she left happily.

Now, she no longer likes being a vase here, and the emperor is no longer attractive to her.

Qiao Anan looked at the departing Concubine Xian with an unhappy face, and called out to her in her heart: Mother, your baby is still here.

But Empress Xian was so determined to go back and play mahjong that she had no time to care about her beloved daughter-in-law.

"They've gone so far, and you're still looking." Chu Yuanming said a little jealously.

He thought he was nice to Qiao Anan, so why didn't he see Qiao Anan being so clingy to him?

"Father, do you want to bully me too?" Qiao Anan said to Chu Yuanming with a pout.

"I dare not bully you no matter who I bully." Chu Yuanming thought to himself that this was his little ancestor.

No, he himself has a hard time!

After all, who could have imagined that the Chu Yuan Kingdom, which was once impoverished, would become prosperous just because it sent its son to marry into a woman's family?

"Father, my daughter-in-law has good news. Do you want to hear it?" Qiao Anan looked at Chu Yuanming and thought of another thing, so she spoke quickly.

"Oh, An An, do you have any good news?" Chu Yuanming became excited when he heard the good news.

After all, he had already heard one piece of good news today, so another piece of good news would not be too much.

"Father, my daughter-in-law has recently developed cement and glass." Qiao Anan said proudly.

Chu Yuanming thought of Empress Xian's perfume shop that made a fortune every day.

I wonder what these cement and glass are? Are they for eating or for use?

Chu Yuanming looked at Qiao Anan expectantly. Was his daughter-in-law also planning to open a cement shop and a glass shop for him?

Chu Yuanming had seen the scene where the concubines asked Concubine Xian to buy perfume.

I wonder if the scenes of people begging me to buy cement and glass can be as crazy as they are asking for perfume?

"What are the cement and glass you are talking about?" Chu Yuanming asked quickly.

"Father, cement is very useful. It can not only be used to build houses, but also to irrigate roads and reinforce city walls. City walls made of cement are even stronger!" Qiao Anan proudly explained to Chu Yuanming.

Chu Yuanming was a little disappointed when he heard that cement was not for eating but for building houses. However, he soon understood that cement was a rare and good thing. With such a good thing, their Chu Yuan Kingdom would be able to move to a higher level.

"What is the glass?" Chu Yuanming asked quickly.

"Father, glass is like transparent glass. We can install it on the windows and no longer have to worry about the wind blowing it apart. With glass on our windows, our house will be brighter."

"Do you need a lot of silver to make those things?" Chu Yuanming thought that if those things were very valuable, ordinary people would not be able to afford them.

"Father, do you think your daughter-in-law will make things that ordinary people can't afford? Don't you find that the things your daughter-in-law develops are relatively affordable?" Qiao Anan felt a little hurt.

How could the emperor think of her like this?

"I have never seen the things you mentioned. You can't blame me!" Chu Yuanming was not angry and said with a smile.

"How can I blame my father? My daughter-in-law's greatest wish is to let everyone use cement and everyone use glass. Everyone can live in a spacious and bright house." Qiao Anan said proudly.

"In that case, I am also looking forward to seeing what the glass you mentioned is. And if the cement is really that powerful, can it be used on our city walls?" Chu Yuanming asked another question.

"Father, if our city walls were made of cement, then our walls would definitely be stronger than those of other countries. That would provide an extra layer of protection for the security of our Chu Yuan Kingdom." Qiao Anan thought to herself, in fact, cement has many uses, and it's not just for city walls.

However, she felt that no matter how good she described the specific uses, it would not be as good as if they actually saw it.

"In that case, I'm quite looking forward to it. I heard that cement and glass were used to rebuild the Second Prince's Mansion. I really want to see what your Second Prince's Mansion looks like now." Chu Yuanming said with great anticipation.

"Father, if you have time, you must go and see it in person." Qiao Anan invited with a smile.

"When the second son comes back, I will definitely go and see it myself." Chu Yuanming thought that Chu Haojue was also on his way back. He thought that it would not take a few days to reach the capital. When his son came back, he would go to visit together.

"Your Highness is coming back?" Qiao Anan thought that Chu Haojue might have to stay at the border for a while, but she didn't expect that he would be back soon. It seemed that things were going very smoothly.

"I'm on my way back. I think I'll be in the capital in a few days." Chu Yuanming nodded.

兰湖

When Dongsheng's carriage arrived at Lan Lake, he saw Chu Haoheng and Qian Duoduo, whose faces were covered with mosquito bites, and Lai Fu following closely behind.

"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Miss Qian." Dongsheng actually wanted to laugh. The bags on his face looked really miserable.

"You are..." Chu Haoheng didn't recognize Dongsheng for a moment.

"Dongsheng, right? Are you here to pick us up?" Qian Duoduo did know Dongsheng. After all, she and Qiao Anan often interacted in the business world, so she naturally knew that Qiao Anan had a capable assistant named Dongsheng.

The two even met each other frequently.

"Yes, Fifth Prince, Miss Qian, please get on the carriage." Dongsheng said quickly.

Lai Fu, who was behind, felt relieved when he heard this. The second prince's wife had finally come to pick someone up.
