Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 189

Chu Haoyu, who was watching from the side, was envious. Eight hundred taels of silver.

Chu Haoyu thought, if I could borrow a few imperial chefs from my father, would that be okay?

Chu Haoyu secretly walked to Chu Yuanming's side.

"Father, may I discuss something with you?" Chu Haoyu asked in a low voice.

However, Chu Yuanming was staring at Qiao Anan who was bidding with others for the evening dishes.

Chu Yuanming was even wondering how much silver he could get for the second time.

"Father?" Chu Haoyu called again.

"Why are you shouting? Can't you see I'm busy?" Chu Yuanming said impatiently.

Chu Haoyu's face was full of black lines. How could he not notice that his father was busy?

What are you busy with?

Busy watching the fun?

"Father, could you also allocate two imperial chefs to my Jingyue Tower?" Chu Haoyu asked loudly, fearing that Chu Yuanming couldn't hear him.

And at this moment, a round of auction just ended. The first auction of the evening ended with one thousand and two taels of silver.

The crowd, who had quieted down, just happened to hear what Chu Haoyu asked Chu Yuanming.

Everyone fell silent.

If Jingyue Tower also has an imperial chef, then why would they go to such great lengths to auction off the dining ordering qualifications of Deyue Tower?

Everyone looked at Chu Yuanming, seeking an answer.

"Except for Deyue Tower, the imperial chefs in my palace will not go anywhere else." Chu Yuanming said affirmatively.

"Father, why?" Chu Haoyu was unhappy after hearing this.

Why?

He is also the son of his father. Why is it that the Second Princess's wife can let the imperial chefs take turns, but he only wants two and refuses to do so?

Is he still the emperor's son?

Chu Haoyu couldn't help but doubt.

"Do you want to know?" Chu Yuanming glanced at Chu Haoyu with a hint of disdain.

Don't think he doesn't know what this brat wants the money for. Humph, doesn't he just want the chair under his butt?

With him, his thoughts are written on his face. How dare he think?

"I beg Your Majesty to help me solve my doubts!" At this moment, Chu Haoyu could not care less that there were so many people here; nor could he care less that the question he was going to ask might not be suitable to be asked in front of everyone.

"As a prince, have you ever considered the people of the world? Deyue Tower is the property of the Qiao family. Half of every revenue generated by the Qiao family will be handed over to the national treasury for use by the people of the world. So what if I am partial to the second prince's wife? She, as a prince's wife, has more than you, a prince who enjoys royal honors. Besides, I am the emperor. Is there anything wrong with me doing my part to help the people of the world?" Chu Yuanming said, ignoring Chu Haoyu.

At this moment, everyone was very shocked. They didn't expect that the Qiao family had done so many things.

They all decided to bid higher in the auction, so that they could do their bit for the people of the world.

"Father, you also said that the Qiao family only handed over half, so didn't Qiao An make a fortune from the other half?" Chu Haoyu said dissatisfiedly again.

"Your Highness, this is something you don't know. All the businesses run by the Qiao family always require costs. Even for this restaurant, if the Qiao family doesn't buy good ingredients, how can they make all those delicious dishes on the table? Such a big restaurant must have rent to pay, right? The waiters, shopkeepers, and cooks in the room must also be paid wages, right? The Qiao family has borne all of this, so even if there is a small portion of profit, isn't that what they should do?" Soon an old man stood up and said earnestly.

"Isn't this Mr. Fang?" Someone quickly recognized the old man's identity.

Fang Daru's original name was Fang Jiantong. Although Fang Jiantong was not an official, he taught three top scholars and was a great scholar who was highly respected by literati and poets. Now, Fang Daru no longer teaches students.

But still admired by the world.

However, what Fang Daru said was actually an accusation that the Fourth Prince was ignorant of worldly affairs.

Chu Haoyu was furious after hearing what the old man said.

"It's not your turn to interfere with what this prince does!" Chu Haoyu retorted with some embarrassment.

Humph, in his opinion, this person was just a hire by the Qiao family.

Otherwise, why would he speak for the Qiao family? Maybe he took advantage of the Qiao family?

"I don't know what benefits the Qiao family has given you to make you speak for the Qiao family like this, but it is not your turn as an old man to criticize what I have done." Chu Haoyu said with a gloomy face.

"I think what Mr. Fang said about you is too mild!" Chu Yuanming's face turned black at this time.

If Chu Haojue's remarks were to get out, what would the world think of the Chu royal family?

As soon as Fang Daru said this, he was actually a little nervous. After all, it was not a good idea to say bad things about someone's son in front of his father, especially when the man was the emperor.

In fact, Fang Daru was not afraid that the emperor would blame him or punish him.

Although he was not worried about the emperor punishing him, he was worried that it would bring disaster to his family.

However, Fang Daru felt that he had no regrets. After all, at his age, he had seen a lot of things. However, he also had the common problem of the elderly these days, which was that he couldn't help but correct other people's mistakes.

"Father!" Chu Haoyu didn't expect that not only could he not beat Qiao Anan, but he couldn't even beat an ordinary old man?

His father really underestimated him.

Everyone was indeed very pleased with the emperor's attitude in handling this matter.

"I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of the people of the world. God has a vision. It is a blessing for our Chu Yuan country to have such a good emperor who is diligent in his work and loves his people like his own children!" Fang Daru led everyone to kneel in front of Chu Yuanming.

Chu Yuanming was also stunned. He didn't expect that just because he reprimanded the Fourth Prince a few words, he would become a good emperor who loved his people like his own children?

Isn’t it too easy to be a good emperor?

"Father, everyone is still kneeling." Looking at Chu Yuanming who was in a daze, the prince quickly reminded him in a low voice.

After all, people were praising him for being a good emperor, but it was not a good thing for such a good emperor to make them kneel.

"No need to be so polite, just stand up! Our Chu Yuan Kingdom has made the people of the world suffer over the years, but I believe that our Chu Yuan Kingdom will definitely get better and better in the future!" Chu Yuanming said quickly.

"Okay, let's continue with the auction today. Let's not spoil everyone's fun because of irrelevant people." Chu Yuanming said again.

Chu Haoyu was so angry that he jumped up and down.

He didn't expect Chu Yuanming to humiliate him in front of so many untouchables.

However, no one paid any attention to Chu Haoyu, and instead bid more enthusiastically.

In the end, the auction of high-end dishes for only seven days was sold at a high price of 100,000 taels of silver.

Even Qiao Anan didn't expect these people to be so crazy.

Earning 100,000 taels of silver in seven days is indeed a sky-high price.

"Thank you all for coming to our Deyue Building's first auction of high-end dishes today. We would like to thank all the guests who participated in the auction today. We have a small gift for everyone." Qiao Anan clapped her hands, and Dongmei came out holding a box.
