Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 239

"So, Liu Yucheng wants to marry his daughter to the second prince?" Qiao Anan immediately understood Liu Yucheng's plan.

"It's not impossible." Dongxu nodded.

After Chu Haojue entered the palace, Chu Yuanming was still resting, so Chu Haojue went to Yuxiu Palace first.

"The Second Prince is here." Nanny Qiu looked at Chu Haojue who was coming over and quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Where is my mother?" Chu Haojue asked.

"The Queen is taking a nap." Nanny Qiu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Haojue walked into Concubine Xian's room, with a sullen face, and sat at the head of Concubine Xian's bed.

Empress Xian, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly felt the air became a little colder. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw her son sitting at the head of the bed and was shocked.

"What are you crazy about?" asked Empress Xian unhappily.

"Mother is awake?" Chu Haojue was thinking about something. He was wondering whether he and the Liu family were really that close over the years.

I was also wondering what the Liu family wanted to do.

"Even if I wasn't awake, I would have been scared awake by you. Are you too idle?" Empress Xian said unhappily, thinking to herself, fortunately, it's not night now, otherwise, this time next year might be the anniversary of her death.

"Why are you here at this time?" Empress Xian asked as she asked Nanny Qiu to help her put on her clothes.

"There's something I want to see my mother." Chu Haojue was thinking about the relationship between Concubine Xian and Tan Xiying, and he didn't know if the sisters had been in contact over the years.

"What's the matter?" Empress Xian was puzzled, but Nanny Qiu beside her looked at Chu Haojue strangely.

She heard that last night, His Highness rushed to Concubine De's Palace to look for the Emperor, but ended up going to the wrong place.

Concubine De is now very angry. Her master got up late, and she has not had time to tell her master. Unexpectedly, the Second Prince came.

"Has mother contacted my aunt in these years?" Chu Haojue asked Empress Xian.

"You're fine, why are you asking about your aunt? I haven't been in contact with her for more than ten years." Thinking of her elder sister, Empress Xian felt uncomfortable. She didn't understand why there were so many talented young men in the capital.

Why did she insist on marrying Liu Yucheng, who was far away in Liucheng? I heard that he was a widower. Her elder sister, who was well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, was willing to marry him and become his second wife.

For this reason, after her eldest sister got married, Sister Tan basically cut off contact with Tan Xiying.

In addition, after Tan Xiying got married, she followed Liu Yucheng to Liucheng.

However, three years after Tan Xiying went to Liucheng, he came back once. At that time, she saw Tan Xiying and the daughter who was said to be the daughter of Liu Yucheng's previous wife.

"Mother, you haven't had any correspondence with my aunt in these years, right?" Chu Haojue asked seriously.

"Can I lie to you about this? She is my elder sister. If I had any contact with her, I would have said it openly. Since you said no, then we have never had any contact!" Empress Xian looked at her son with some annoyance and said.

"Okay, I got it!" Chu Haojue felt relieved when he heard Empress Xian's words. It was good that they hadn't contacted each other.

"But something happened to your aunt?" Empress Xian looked at Chu Haojue with a rare quick-witted look and asked.

"No, mother, please have a good rest! I still have something to ask father." Chu Haojue said and left.

"Hey, this guy! He disturbed my sweet dream, and he just walked away!" Empress Xian said with some dissatisfaction as she looked at Chu Haojue who was leaving.

Nanny Qiu stood aside, seeming to be hesitant to speak, not knowing whether to tell Concubine De about how the Second Prince had disturbed her sweet dream in the middle of the night.

"You look constipated. What's wrong?" Empress Xian didn't get a reply from Nanny Qiu. She looked at Nanny Qiu strangely and saw her standing there with a very conflicted expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but I don't know whether I should tell you now or not." The nanny said in a low voice.

"What can't be said?" Concubine Xian glared at Nanny Qiu with some displeasure, thinking that the older she got, the more nonsense she talked.

"Last night, the Second Prince went to Zhongcui Palace and disturbed Concubine De's sweet dream." Nanny Qiu said somewhat obscurely.

Concubine Xian:? ? ?

Empress Xian expressed satisfaction and asked, was that what he meant?

His son came into the palace in the middle of the night to disturb Concubine De's rest?

why?

"Do you have anything else to say?" Concubine Xian asked unhappily. She knew her son well. He usually did not get along with the eldest prince. Even if the eldest prince did something to displease him, he would never retaliate against Concubine De.

He would simply return it to the eldest prince on the spot.

"I heard that the emperor stayed at the residence of the new concubine Wu last night. Zhongxin Palace happens to be next to Zhongcui Palace. I guess someone gave us the wrong directions." Nanny Qiu didn't know the details of the situation. She only knew that the second prince knocked on Concubine De's door last night.

"I don't know which palace servant deliberately pointed me in the wrong direction." Concubine Xian frowned and said.

As soon as Chu Haojue entered the imperial study, he knelt in front of Chu Yuanming.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Yuanming had a bad feeling when he saw the second brother kneeling in front of him.

How come this is so similar to the time when he asked me for money?

"Didn't An An give you pocket money?" Chu Yuanming asked carefully.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you!" Chu Haojue's face was full of black lines.

How does this compare? Not only did my wife give me money, but she also increased my salary.

Now, I have two hundred thousand taels of silver in pocket money every month.

"Just say what you want to say. Kneeling here makes me feel uneasy." Chu Yuanming said impatiently.

"Father, there is some progress on the matter in Dong'an Lane." Chu Haojue sighed, but did not get up. Instead, he continued speaking.

"Whose man is he?" Chu Yuanming quickly put down the pen he was using to review memorials and asked anxiously.

Chu Haojue looked up at Chu Yuanming, wondering what he would think after hearing those words.

Chu Haojue looked outside and thought to himself, why hasn't the prince come yet?

Chu Haojue asked someone to call the prince over. Otherwise, if the emperor got furious and wanted to punish him, at least the prince would plead for him.

"I'm asking you a question, what's the point of you looking away?" Chu Yuanming was unhappy. Why did this guy stop talking mid-sentence? Who was he trying to keep in suspense?

"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for someone." Chu Haojue said quickly.

"Waiting for whom? Can't you wait while talking?" Chu Yuanming said unhappily.

"Didn't I just say half of it?" Chu Haojue said seriously.

"Can't you continue? You just started, and that's half?" Chu Yuanming was so angry at Chu Haojue that he was fuming.
