Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 202

"Empress!" When Concubine Rao heard that the Queen wanted to assign her brother to Zhang Qiaoqiao, she felt a little unhappy.

Why can her niece only be pointed to that old man Cao Xuezhi?

But Defei's niece can be referred to as the Queen's younger brother, Lord Mei Wenle?

You must know that although Lord Mei is the Queen's younger brother, he is only twenty-one years old, looks very handsome, and is also the commander of the guards.

Such a good boy should be paired with her niece Zhuyue.

"Is there anything else, Imperial Concubine?" The Queen glanced sarcastically at Imperial Concubine Rao who was standing beside her.

"Empress, Lord Mei is a handsome man and your younger brother. Shouldn't you think carefully about his marriage?" Concubine Rao said hurriedly, and then she pulled her niece Lin Zhuyue aside.

The reason why Concubine Rao is a concubine is not because she is favored by the emperor.

But the emperor casually appointed her as the imperial concubine.

From the fact that she only gave birth to the third princess, Chu Xuanyao, it can be seen that the emperor did not like her very much.

Concubine Rao is actually quite good-looking, but her brain is not very clear and she doesn't know what to say and what not to say.

Just like the Queen now betrothed her niece to Cao Xuezhi, which annoyed the Queen.

But she actually wanted the queen to marry her niece to the queen's brother.

"Sister Imperial Concubine, you should take your niece back quickly and prepare for her marriage to Lord Cao!" Defei said proudly.

I thought to myself that even if my niece didn't marry the prince, it would be great if she could marry the queen's younger brother.

After all, the queen's brother is the commander of the guards.

In the future, if he can be of use to his son, he will be a great help to his son.

Concubine De completely forgot that Lord Mei was the prince's uncle.

Even if someone wants to help, they should help the prince.

"Empress, I will take Su Qing back first." When Concubine Shu saw this situation, she knew that what happened next had nothing to do with her. Her niece was promised to her son as a concubine, so she had no objection to this.

"Well, Concubine De and Concubine Gui can go back first. Qiaoqiao can stay, and Miss Lin can go back too!" The queen was not polite at all and ordered everyone to leave.

"From now on, don't come to the Eastern Palace to bother the Crown Princess unless necessary. If anything happens to the child in her belly, I will definitely ask you for responsibility!" the Queen added.

The few of them could only leave unwillingly. When Defei left, she turned back and looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao, but Zhang Qiaoqiao kept her head down and did not meet Defei's gaze.

"Sister Defei, I'd like to congratulate you in advance. Your niece will soon be able to marry into the high position of the Empress!" On the way back, Shufei covered her mouth and said congratulations, but her eyes were full of ridicule.

You know, Lord Mei is well-known for not being interested in women. It is not certain that the niece of Concubine De can win Lord Mei's favor.

"I would like to congratulate my sister. We will soon have a new daughter-in-law. Miss Qin is virtuous and will definitely become a good wife for the Fourth Prince." Defei looked at Shufei and then at Qin Suqing and said.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Sophie pulled Qin Suqing away.

East Palace

"Miss Zhang, please sit down." The Queen looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao and motioned him to sit aside.

"Yes!" Zhang Qiaoqiao didn't hesitate and sat down obediently.

The Crown Princess looked Zhang Qiaoqiao up and down.

She really lives up to her name, very pretty.

I also thought about my uncle who was extraordinary and a little cold.

For no reason, I felt that the two of them were a perfect match.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Mei Wenle didn't know what the Crown Prince wanted to talk to him about.

"Uncle, mother asks you to come over!" The prince looked at his uncle who was only a few years older than him and didn't understand why he had such a stern face all day long.

The prince always found it strange that his uncle never seemed to laugh.

"I understand!" Mei Wenle said with a bow, observing etiquette.

"Uncle, you don't need to be so nervous. Your sister may just want to ask you to come over to chat about family matters," said the prince with a sigh.

"I will go to Kunning Palace to find the Queen." Mei Wenle didn't know what his sister wanted to see him about.

When he was born, his sister was already married.

He didn't meet his sister very often. To him, although she was his biological sister, they didn't have a deep relationship.

But as a subject, it is also his duty to protect his sister, the queen.

The prince sighed and thought to himself that nephews are like their uncles, and fortunately he is not like this uncle.

"Uncle, the Queen Mother is in the East Palace, not in Kunning Palace. You have gone to the wrong place!" Mei Wenle walked away, and the prince remembered that the Queen was still in his East Palace.

"I understand!" Mei Wenle stopped and turned to walk towards the East Palace.

At this time, Cao Xuezhi, who was counting silver in the Ministry of Revenue, had no idea that he would soon have another wife.

"Master Cao, the silver hasn't been touched. Do you need to count it every day?" Yu Dehou said in confusion.

"What do you know? What if a rat or a thief takes the silver away?" Cao Xuezhi rolled his eyes at Yu Dehou.

What's wrong with him counting the silver?

He didn't take the money.

This is my only hobby now that I'm older.

After all, he also knew that he was not good at making money. He was old and did not have the enthusiasm of those young people.

However, he had to protect every ounce of silver in the national treasury.

"Lord Cao is right!" Yu Dehou looked at the warehouse and found that there was indeed a possibility that a rat might crawl in.

But are all the rats in the palace so discerning?

You actually knew about stealing silver?

"Sir, there is a hole here!" a eunuch shouted soon.

"Oh, how come the box was bitten?" Cao Xuezhi took a look and saw that there were several silver ingots piled in the corner.

"Oh my goodness, it turns out that mice can really steal silver?" Yu Dehou also felt that he had broadened his horizons.

Several people searched the treasury thoroughly and found three rat holes, each of which contained several silver ingots.

They counted and found that there were exactly fifty taels of silver.

"Lord Cao, it turns out that the old ones are the wisest!" Yu Dehou gave Cao Xuezhi a thumbs up.

"Empress, Lord Mei is here." Just when the Queen, the Crown Princess and Zhang Qiaoqiao were chatting happily, the little eunuch came over and whispered.

"Oh, you're finally here, Qiaoqiao. Take a look at my good-for-nothing brother and see if he catches your eye." The queen said to Zhang Qiaoqiao beside her with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I thank you!" Zhang Qiaoqiao blushed, thinking that the Queen was serious about her feelings.

Originally, Zhang Qiaoqiao thought she would just deal with it, but since this person was the queen, she didn't dare to refuse.

When Mei Wenle strode over.

Zhang Qiaoqiao blushed, it was him!
