Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 45

"An An, do you still have that gunpowder?" Chu Yuanming looked at the curious people and wanted to let the prince see the power of gunpowder, so he asked quickly.

"In reply to the emperor, there should be enough to prepare another portion." Qiao Anan thought that she had prepared quite a lot, but she didn't know the quantity, so she just packed three portions to try first. The remaining portion should still be enough.

Now the pink sun has almost dried up. There is enough for a few more.

"Then An An, you can prepare another one." Chu Yuanming was actually a little unsatisfied.

He was also very curious. When Qiao Anan and the others were digging it out before, he didn't see what happened. He only saw the two huge pits in the yard. At this moment, Chu Yuanming felt that it was not satisfying!

"Your Majesty, why don't we try other effects with different proportions?" Qiao Anan said, looking at the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince beside him.

Qiao Anan knew in her heart that the emperor probably wanted the prince to experience the joy of lighting a fire.

"Oh? Are there any other ratios?" Chu Yuanming became interested after hearing Qiao Anan's words.

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince just felt that they had no idea what they were talking about.

Empress Xian, who was standing by, had originally changed her mind about Qiao Anan. Now, looking at Qiao Anan, she didn't know what she was doing and suddenly felt unhappy.

"Qiao Anan, did you dig those pits outside?" Concubine Xian pointed at the two big pits outside and asked unhappily.

Qiao Anan touched her nose, feeling a little guilty, but still admitted it obediently.

"In reply to Empress Xian, the Second Prince said that he wanted to plant flowers in the yard for me. That's why I dug two big holes." Qiao Anan replied seriously.

Chu Yuanming looked at Qiao An and answered seriously.

Want to see how Chu Haojue will answer?

"Mother, don't blame An An. It was my son's intention." Chu Haojue said quickly.

Eunuch Li on the side looked at the second prince in shock, his mind full of question marks. Is this really the case?

"Who are you trying to fool? Is it necessary to make such a big noise just to dig the ground and plant flowers? Go ask those people outside, do they believe it?" Empress Xian rarely used her brains.

But I was very unhappy that my son and future daughter-in-law fooled me like this.

"Second brother, this house is indeed a bit monotonous. It's time to plant some flowers." Chu Yuanming covered his mouth and laughed, and also spoke to protect the two of them.

However, Chu Yuanming really felt that his son's house was too empty. Whose house could have such a large yard? It could even be used as a court.

It’s no wonder that Qiao Anan used this place as a testing point for gunpowder.

Although the yard has been bombed beyond recognition, if you want to plant flowers, you don't have to hire someone to dig it up.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Xian called out to the Emperor in dissatisfaction. This reason really could not convince her.

But why did the emperor speak for Qiao Anan?

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince looked at each other in bewilderment. To be honest, they also did not believe this reason.

"Don't worry, Empress Xian. I'll let An An show you how she dug the ground into this shape later." Chu Yuanming said, trying hard to suppress his smile.

"Your Majesty, you want Empress Xian to try it too." Qiao Anan asked with some ill intentions.

Chu Yuanming looked at the excitement in Qiao Anan's eyes, and then looked at the furious Concubine Xian.

I wondered, could this be tested on Concubine Xian? Was it certain that nothing would go wrong?

After all, not everyone has a heart as strong as his.

"Qiao Anan, what do you mean? It's fine for you to show off outside, but why do you come to Huo Huo Juer's mansion for no reason?" Empress Xian didn't know what Qiao Anan and the Emperor were talking about.

But she always felt that there was something fishy going on, which made her feel a little uneasy.

"It's okay, it's okay, my lady, you'll know in a moment." Qiao Anan smiled cunningly.

I plan to prepare the smallest amount of gunpowder so that Concubine Xian can also experience this unique feeling.

Although the prince was curious, he was smart enough not to say anything.

I just took a look at the second prince's mansion.

To describe it as spacious is already an exaggeration, it really is empty.

I also feel a little guilty towards my second brother.

He also understood why the Second Prince's Mansion was so desolate.

That was because he had sold everything he could. He also exchanged the rewards that could not be sold for cash with the emperor, and used the money to supplement the military camp.

In the previous wars between Chu Yuan State and Xijing State and Nanyue State, Chu Yuan State was already at a disadvantage. The Second Prince played an indispensable role in Chu Yuan State's ability to hold out for so long.

The Crown Prince was thinking in his heart that he would ask the Crown Princess to send some things to the Second Prince's Mansion. This is the Prince's Mansion after all, so this is really not a good look.

Besides, the national treasury is not as empty as before, and he also has to persuade the emperor to allocate funds to the military camp. After all, he still has to rely on his second brother for the safety of Chu Yuan State.

The Fifth Prince, standing by, was a little bit incredulous. He had originally thought that he was poor enough, but he hadn't expected that the Second Prince was even poorer than him. Suddenly, he no longer felt sorry for himself.

He just looked at Qiao Anan with some obscure thoughts, thinking that his second brother was already so poor, why did Miss Qiao want to come to Huo Huo's mansion?

I don’t know if Miss Qiao is protesting and doesn’t want to marry the second brother?

The Fifth Prince even thought to himself that if all else failed, he would go and tell his father that he was willing to marry Miss Qiao despite all the difficulties. Although his family was poor, it was at least better than his Second Brother's.

It should be enough for Miss Qiao to take it apart several times.

At this point, the fifth prince shook his head and sighed.

"What do you think about this matter, Third Brother?" While Qiao Anan was preparing gunpowder, Chu Yuanming looked at the prince beside him and asked.

"Your Majesty, I think Second Brother's mansion really needs some renovations." The prince said after thinking for a while.

"Anything else?" Chu Yuanming nodded, thinking that this prince still had some conscience.

No one was making fun of the second brother.

But Chu Yuanming wanted to know what the prince thought about those two big pits?

The prince did notice the two pits, but since the emperor hadn't mentioned them, he couldn't ask about them. Besides, he didn't believe that Qiao An'an had dug them up casually.

Considering the commotion just now created in the Second Prince's Mansion and the huge commotion just now coming from the mountain behind the Second Prince, although he had some doubts, he didn't dare to say anything without evidence.

After all, the Second Prince was a general, and if he said something inappropriate, it would not only affect him, but also the Second Prince.

"Your Majesty, I don't have anything else to say." The prince said after thinking for a while.

Chu Yuanming glanced at the prince and said nothing, only tapping the table intermittently with his hands.
