Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter VII

"Mother, do you know the Qiao family?" Chu Haojue didn't expect that Empress Xian actually knew the Qiao family.

After all, he had just heard of the Qiao family.

"Chu Yuanguo, everyone knows the Qiao family. They are just a merchant family!" Empress Xian said slowly.

Empress Xian thought to herself, the Qiao family, they just have some money, how can they be worthy of her handsome son.

The daughter of the Qiao family, huh, I heard that she is not worthy of being in a noble family and only knows how to show her face in public.

This kind of daughter-in-law is not what she wants.

"Could it be..." Chu Haojue suddenly remembered that the Qiao family seemed to be the richest family in Chuyuan Kingdom.

Today, the Qiao family can be said to be richer than the emperor and even the imperial court.

Thinking of this, Chu Haojue thought, no wonder he was able to come up with 600,000 taels of silver so easily.

"Just what you thought! Jue'er, don't worry, your mother will definitely give you an explanation on this matter. Later, ask your father to grant you and Ruyi a marriage." Empress Xian patted Chu Haojue and said.

Qiao Zhencheng happily returned to the Qiao family holding the imperial edict granting marriage.

Qiao Anan, who went out to check the store, didn't know that her father really used the one million taels to buy her a handsome husband.

"Master, where have you been today?" Yao Shuilian had been waiting for Qiao Zhencheng all day because she heard that this prodigal had taken out one million today.

He even threatened to buy a son-in-law for his daughter. What kind of husband would cost a million?

"Master, you're finally back." Yao Shuilian shouted with a cold face while drinking tea.

"Oh, Madam, you are at home!" Qiao Zhencheng was startled by Yao's call.

"Master, what good things did you get today?" Yao thought to herself. If he could say anything, she would despise him to death!

Humph! I'm going to kill this old man's arrogance today!

"Madam, this is a good thing!" Qiao Zhencheng took out the imperial edict from his arms.

"What is this?" Yao frowned and looked at the bright yellow thing, feeling puzzled. Can ordinary people use this thing?

If she remembered correctly, this thing should be something only the royal family can have, right?

"It's the imperial edict!" Qiao Zhencheng said proudly.

"What? An imperial edict?" Yao was so frightened that she knelt down.

"Oh, madam, please get up quickly. There is no outsider here." Qiao Zhencheng said proudly.

"What's going on?" Yao was shocked. She didn't know what the master was doing today.

How come he brought back an imperial edict!

Although the Qiao family is an imperial merchant, they cannot receive imperial edicts every day!

"Master, this is not an imperial decree to confiscate the property and exterminate the clan, right?" Yao asked worriedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I spent one million to buy this!" Qiao Zhencheng said proudly.

Yao looked at Qiao Zhencheng with disbelief. This old man just talks nonsense all day long.

If the imperial edict was really that easy to obtain, wouldn't everyone be able to get it by giving the emperor some money when they have problems?

"If you don't believe me, just open it and take a look." Qiao Zhencheng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it happily.

Yao glared at Qiao Zhencheng and then opened the imperial edict. She was shocked to see that it clearly read:

By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: "I have heard that Qiao An'an, the daughter of the imperial merchant Qiao Zhencheng, is skillful, generous, kind, honest, and of outstanding character and appearance. I am deeply pleased to hear this. Now that the Second Prince has reached the age of twenty, it is time for him to marry, and a virtuous woman should be chosen as his match. The unmarried daughter of the Qiao family is a match made in heaven for the Second Prince. To complete this beautiful marriage, I hereby betroth you to the Second Prince as his consort. All rituals shall be handled by the Ministry of Rites, and an auspicious date shall be chosen for the wedding."

The announcement was made at home and abroad, and the envoys heard about it.

"This...is this true?" Yao's eyes widened. The emperor granted the marriage?

An An and the Second Prince?

This was a marriage she had never dared to imagine.

"How could this be false? Isn't the imperial edict here?" Qiao Zhencheng thought that his daughter must be very happy to come back.

The Second Prince is a rare good man in Kyoto.

"Are you sure that our daughter can become the prince's consort?" Yao was worried, as far as she knew.

Those noble ladies from aristocratic families have learned rules and etiquette since childhood.

The etiquette for a royal daughter-in-law is even more complicated.

They are An An, and apart from loving to make money, they don't know anything else.

In this way, if you marry the second prince, are you sure you won’t be bullied?

In the royal study

Chu Yuanming looked at the banknotes in his hand happily. He felt that he had never been so rich.

Eunuch Li on the side was also looking at Chu Yuanming with a smile. He was the emperor's personal eunuch, so he naturally knew how worried the emperor had been these days.

Now, with this money, everything is not a problem.

The emperor can sleep well at night.

"Your Majesty, Empress Xian requests an audience!" At this time, the fourth eunuch who was guarding outside walked in and said in a low voice.

"Oh? Empress Xian is here, let her in!" Chu Yuanming thought that Empress Xian probably wanted to ask about the marriage of his second son.

"Announce that Empress Xian is coming to the court!" Xiao Si shouted hurriedly after getting the emperor's permission.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health!" Empress Xian came in and bowed to Chu Yuanming first.

"My beloved concubine is here." Chu Yuanming was in a good mood because the second prince had just earned him one million taels of silver, and he was looking at the second prince's biological mother.

The tone he spoke to Concubine Xian became a little softer.

"Your Majesty, I came here today to ask for a favor." Concubine Xian felt that the emperor was in a good mood at the moment, and she just wanted to ask the emperor to grant a marriage between Chu Haojue and Lin Ruyi.

I think the emperor will definitely not refuse.

"Oh? What's the matter, my beloved?" Chu Yuanming was in high spirits at the moment, thinking that he still had the fifth, sixth, and seventh princes' marriages to settle. He wondered how much silver they could fetch. If he could get a few hundred taels, he wouldn't have to worry about the next five years.

"Your Majesty, Jue'er is not young anymore. I have recently found a girl for Jue'er and would like to ask Your Majesty to grant a marriage for the two children." Empress Xian said gently.

"Oh? I wonder whose daughter Empress Xian has her eyes on?" Chu Yuanming's originally good mood instantly turned cold.

He didn't believe that Empress Xian didn't know that he had arranged a marriage for the second son today.

Humph, he really wanted to know which daughter Empress Xian had her eyes on.

"Your Majesty, I think that Prime Minister Lin's granddaughter Ruyi is a good match for Jue'er." Empress Xian didn't realize that Chu Yuanming's voice had turned cold. She was still immersed in Lin Ruyi, whom she had shown to Chu Haojue.

"Really?" Chu Yuanming looked at Empress Xian and thought to himself, it seems that Empress Xian is quite thoughtful.

Could it be that she still wants Chu Haojue to have that position?

"Your Majesty, don't you think that Ruyi and Jue'er are a good match?" Concubine Xian was still talking to herself.

Empress Xian originally thought that the Emperor would agree with her.
