Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

Concubine Hui was so scared that she quickly covered Qian Yuanbao's mouth, thinking to herself, "Oh no!"

How dare this little ancestor say anything outside?

"This entire palace belongs to the emperor. What's the problem if the emperor wants to eat a fish?" Concubine De said to Qian Yuanbao with disdain.

"Xiao Yuanbao is right. I also ate fish, but this fish was given to me by Xiao Yuanbao!" Chu Yuanming said proudly.

Who in this palace dares to fine him?

Isn’t all the money in this palace his?

Qian Yuanbao frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

Qian Yuanbao looked at the koi in the bucket, and then at the debris.

I thought, this fish shouldn’t be expensive, right?

"How much silver do I have to pay?" Qian Yuanbao frowned and asked the queen.

The queen was stumped by Qian Yuanbao's words.

How much silver is appropriate as compensation?

The queen looked at Chu Yuanming, and Chu Yuanming coughed lightly!

"Young Master Qian, the koi in our palace are not ordinary koi. They are special koi that are priceless." Eunuch Li stepped forward and said with a smile.

Priceless? Qian Yuanbao doesn't know how much silver a city needs?

However, he looked at Chu Yuanming on the left and the koi in the lotus pond on the right.

What do you think? Everyone thinks that this fish is not much different from the silly fish at home.

But maybe she just didn't recognize it? There was a difference between the two?

Qian Yuanbao thought that he once accidentally heard that someone spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy a fish.

Could it be the koi in this lotus pond?

Qian Yuanbao touched his purse and felt a little pain in his flesh.

He only had 20,000 taels of silver notes.

If he loses everything, he will have no banknotes left.

Now he is not at home and cannot ask his parents and sister for money.

"Twenty thousand taels!" After thinking for a long time, Qian Yuanbao said with pain.

He thought to himself that he had to hurry home to ask his sister for money.

There was a smile in Chu Yuanming's eyes, but his expression was still cold. He thought that this little brat probably only had 20,000 taels of silver notes on him.

The queen thought that twenty thousand taels should be about right.

"Twenty thousand taels..." The queen was just about to say that twenty thousand taels was also acceptable.

"A koi like this is worth ten thousand taels each. Twenty thousand taels is not enough." Chu Yuanming felt that since he had appeared in person, how could he only ask for twenty thousand taels?

His sons and their appearance fees are much higher than his own.

At least he needs one hundred thousand taels to do justice to the fat koi in his lotus pond.

"This is all I have." Qian Yuanbao said with a pout.

"Then write a letter and have your family send it in." Chu Yuanming said with a smile.

"I can't write a letter." Qian Yuanbao was very upset at this time. Why didn't he take it more seriously when he was learning to write?

That way he could at least write to his sister and ask for help.

Now, he caught someone else's fish but had no money to compensate, and he couldn't write to his sister to ask for money.

"Then I'll send someone to notify your family to come and pick you up?" Chu Yuanming asked with a smile.

Qian Yuanbao looked at Concubine Hui, finally sighed and nodded in agreement.

He thought that although Concubine Hui was a good person, she herself had no money, so how could she lend it to him?

He should hurry home to get the money.

After hearing what the emperor said, Concubine Hui felt relieved.

What made her even happier was that the emperor was going to send this little plague god away.

From now on, she would never agree to let her son take care of his children again.

When Concubine Hui thought about whether the fifth prince's children would be as naughty as Qian Yuanbao in the future, she felt a headache.

"Your Majesty is wise! I just checked and there are the remains of seven fish on the ground, and there are two in the bucket. Each fish is worth ten thousand taels of silver, so it will take ninety thousand taels of silver to compensate." Defei covered her mouth and laughed.

De Fei thought to herself, Hui Fei's family wasn't wealthy, so it wasn't certain they could come up with the 90,000 taels of silver.

She was just waiting to see Concubine Hui's performance.

She also wanted to know how the emperor would punish this kid if he couldn't come up with the silver.

But he overlooked that such a small child could carry 20,000 taels of silver notes with him, which meant that he could not be a child from an ordinary family.

Ninety thousand taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for the Qian family.

Chu Yuanming looked at Concubine De with a dark face. Why was she everywhere?

He wants more than 90,000 taels.

At least you have to pay 100,000 taels in compensation.

"These two are still alive. I can just put them back." Qian Yuanbao looked at the two koi in the bucket with some dissatisfaction.

"Even if these two are still alive, seventy thousand taels of silver is not seventy taels!" Defei seemed certain that Qian Yuanbao's family could not come up with that much silver.

"It's just 70,000 taels of silver." Qian Yuanbao said with his hands on his chest, looking disdainful.

It was only 70,000 taels of silver, and he could easily scrape it together by himself. He didn't even need to ask his sister or parents for help.

Chu Yuanming's face darkened even more. How come another 20,000 taels were missing?

Defei didn't understand what she had done wrong, as the emperor suddenly glared at her.

"Concubine Hui, do you think 70,000 taels of silver is enough?" Chu Yuanming ignored Concubine De who was jumping around, and instead looked at Concubine Hui who was silent beside him and asked.

Concubine Hui was dumbfounded at this moment. How could this have anything to do with her?

enough?

No matter how dumb Concubine Hui was, she knew that the Emperor clearly felt that 70,000 taels was too little.

But she didn't have the money to make up for it.

She also had no power to directly make decisions for the Qian family.

"Your Majesty, Sister Queen, this is also my fault for not choosing the right person. I am willing to make amends for my crime and go to the Qian family in person to get the change back." Concubine Hui said gritting her teeth.

I can only pray in my heart that the Qian family will be more sensible in a while.

"I agree!" Chu Yuanming wanted to know how much silver Concubine Hui could get from the Qian family.

"Aunt, are you going to my house?" Qian Yuanbao was overjoyed when he heard that Concubine Hui was going to his house.

He has been eating and drinking well in Xianfu Palace these days.

Now that his aunt was going to his house, he must treat her well.

"Your Majesty, can your aunt stay at my house for a few days?" Qian Yuanbao felt that since he had stayed in the palace for a few days, he should also invite Concubine Hui to stay at his house for a few days.

"Oh, how many days do you want her to stay at your house?" Chu Yuanming asked curiously.

"As long as I have been in the palace." Qian Yuanbao counted on his fingers. He had lived in the palace for five days, so he invited Aunt Hui to stay at her house for five days as well.

"Haha...you have a nice thought. But since you have asked me, I will allow Concubine Hui to stay at your house for one night. You have to treat her well and not mistreat her." Chu Yuanming was actually very curious. What could this brat do by keeping Concubine Hui in his house?

Concubine Hui was stunned. She didn't expect Chu Yuanming to agree to let her live in the Qian family.

Even though it was only one night, it was indeed a blessing.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace." Concubine Hui quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.

Since the emperor agreed to this matter, the queen naturally had no objection.

The Qian family is just a merchant family. It would be great if they could help Chu Yuanguo like the Qiao family.

Moreover, although this boy's actions were somewhat outrageous, he was also quite clever. If he could serve the court in the future, he would probably be able to relieve the Crown Prince's worries.

"What did you say? Concubine Hui is coming! And she wants to live in our house." Qian Duoduo was stunned when she heard the news.
