Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 197

This time, when her aunt asked her to enter the palace, Zhang Qiaoqiao thought that her aunt agreed to let her marry her cousin as a concubine.

Zhang's mother, Ning, who was standing by, had no idea what her sister-in-law was planning by suddenly calling her and her daughter into the palace.

After all, they had suggested marrying their daughter to their sister-in-law's son, the eldest prince Chu Haokuan.

But my sister-in-law refused it righteously at that time.

She and her husband never mentioned the matter again, and they had been looking for suitable families for their daughter over the years.

But my daughter always refused with various reasons.

They also knew that their daughter had feelings for the eldest prince.

But they couldn't marry the eldest prince just because they wanted to.

They thought that after a long time, their daughter might forget about the eldest prince.

But my daughter has not forgotten the eldest prince, so the sister-in-law called them into the palace again. I don’t know whether the sister-in-law has changed her mind or has other things to do.

"Qiaoqiao is almost sixteen, right?" Defei asked with concern.

However, the issue of age mentioned by Concubine De was related to the marriage order issued by the emperor before. If her niece was sixteen years old and still had not found a good husband, she would have to go to serve in the army.

Respectable families are not allowed to force their daughters to get married before they turn sixteen and go through the three books and six ceremonies.

"I've been seeing each other recently!" Ning replied quickly.

I have no idea what this sister-in-law is up to.

"How about I find a matchmaker for Qiaoqiao?" Defei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ning and Zhang Qiaoqiao both looked up at Concubine De, wondering which family Concubine De wanted to matchmake for Zhang Qiaoqiao.

"Then I have to thank Her Majesty Defei for her kindness!" Ning didn't know what her sister-in-law wanted to say to her daughter, but when it came to this, Ning felt bitter in her heart.

Zhang Qiaoqiao, who was standing by, also had a pale face. She originally thought that her aunt wanted to match her with her cousin.

Now it seems that he wants to arrange a match for her.

She actually wanted to refuse.

Although she loved her cousin, her aunt didn't like her, so she didn't insist on marrying her cousin.

"Thank you, aunt!" Zhang Qiaoqiao lowered her head, and her good mood just now disappeared.

"Our Qiaoqiao is so beautiful, she will definitely be loved by her husband." Concubine De thought that as long as Zhang Qiaoqiao married the prince, she would be able to be used by her son and help restrain the prince.

Even if I can't restrain the prince, at least I can get more benefits for my son in the future.

"I wonder what Concubine De wants to tell Qiaoqiao..." Ning asked nervously.

"Now that the Crown Princess is pregnant, I want to choose a concubine for her." De Fei said with a smile, thinking that since she was able to bring her niece and the Crown Prince together, her sister-in-law would surely be grateful to her.

"Crown Prince?" Ning's face turned pale when she heard that. They were Defei's maternal family.

How could the prince possibly like Qiaoqiao?

She originally thought that her sister-in-law really wanted to help Qiaoqiao, but now it seems that she thinks Qiaoqiao has not been embarrassed enough?

Zhang Qiaoqiao, who was standing by, had an expression that said, "As expected," when she heard this.

She knew that the person her aunt was arranging a marriage for her would definitely not be her cousin.

"Aunt, does the prince agree to this?" Zhang Qiaoqiao asked.

"You and I will go to the East Palace later to visit the Crown Princess. I think the Crown Princess will like our Qiaoqiao." said Concubine De.

"Yes!" Zhang Qiaoqiao thought for a while and she must find a way to make the prince or princess refuse this matter.

But now she and her mother are already in her aunt's territory, and she is afraid that her aunt will make things difficult for her and her mother if she does not agree.

Zhang Qiaoqiao planned to pretend to agree first.

After a while, the Crown Princess refused, and this matter was no longer her problem.

"Qiaoqiao..." Ning looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao with a worried look on her face.

This palace is not their home, they can't let her do whatever she wants.

"Don't worry, mother. I saved it!" Zhang Qiaoqiao patted her mother Ning's hand.

She knew the situation well and naturally knew what was the best option for them.

I originally thought that my marriage could be postponed for a while, but now it seems that I can’t postpone it any longer this time I go back.

"Sister-in-law, please wait here in the palace. I will bring Qiaoqiao with me and will be back soon." Concubine De led Zhang Qiaoqiao and walked towards the East Palace.

East Palace

"Second brother, why are you here?" The prince was a little surprised to see Chu Haojue coming to the East Palace.

"Crown Prince, father knows that you will accompany the Crown Princess, so he specially asked me to deliver these memorials to the Eastern Palace for you!" Chu Haojue said with a grin.

God knows he must be annoyed to death by these memorials.

As a person who has been leading troops in battles for many years, it is really a headache for him to read memorials.

This kind of delicate work is beyond his ability.

"Didn't I ask you to help deal with this?" The prince frowned and asked Chu Haojue.

"Father, you dislike that I didn't handle it well and said that you are more meticulous and this kind of work is suitable for you. I am used to being rough. You let me lead troops to fight, I can do it, but I can't do this kind of work!" Chu Haojue waved his hand and said quickly.

Chu Yuanming: When did I say this?

"But you sent all these to the Eastern Palace. What will happen if the emperor wants to see you?" the prince asked with a frown.

"Prince, you don't have to worry. Eunuch Li will come to pick it up once in the morning and once in the afternoon every day!" Chu Haojue said quickly.

"The emperor also told you to read memorials to the little grandson more often so that he can learn more about the national affairs of our Chu Yuan Kingdom!" Chu Haojue said again.

Chu Yuanming: When did I say this?

"Are you sure your father said this?" The prince didn't believe it at all. How could the emperor say such a thing?

"My father said this is called prenatal education. Prenatal education means educating the child while he is still in the womb. If you don't believe it, next time when you review memorials, ask the child in the Crown Princess's belly whether she agrees." Chu Haojue said again.

"Second brother, why don't you quickly let your second sister-in-law get pregnant? From the moment the child is in the womb, you can start teaching the child how to lead troops and fight. How about that?" The prince laughed out of anger and quickly replied.

"Prince, isn't my princess not pregnant yet? When she is, I will definitely educate my child well to lead troops in battle, and then come back to protect our Chu Yuan Kingdom for you!"

"I would like to see how the child in Second Princess's belly will lead the troops to fight!" The prince looked at Chu Haojue slowly and said.

"Crown Prince, isn't the Crown Princess not pregnant yet? You can't see my baby in her belly leading troops to fight for the time being, but you can immediately see the baby in the Crown Princess's belly reviewing memorials. If you don't believe me, try it later. If the baby approves the memorial, kick it once, and if not, kick it twice. Then you will know how powerful the little grandson of the emperor is, right?" Chu Haojue said to the Crown Prince, citing what Qiao Anan had said before.

The prince's face was full of black lines as he looked at the full stack of memorials on the table. He thought to himself that after reviewing so many memorials, the Crown Princess's belly would probably be kicked in the stomach.

"Is this what you meant or what your father meant?" The prince felt that Chu Haojue was really talking nonsense.
