Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

"Nonsense, how could the dragon fish disappear? Dragon fish don't have legs, how can they run away by themselves?" Eunuch Li scolded the young eunuch angrily.

"It was...it was the Second Prince who took the dragon fish away." The little eunuch said tremblingly.

"What?" Eunuch Li became anxious when he heard this.

He didn't understand why everyone was so against the fish in the imperial garden recently?

That’s the only arowana!

Eunuch Li rushed to the lotus pond to look for the dragon fish.

But no matter how he looked, there were only groups of koi in the imperial garden.

"How many dragon fish did the second prince catch before leaving?" Eunuch Li asked with a last glimmer of hope.

He thought that if the second prince only took one, at least he would still have one.

"Five...five." The little eunuch left only after seeing the second prince catch five fish.

"Oh, why didn't you inform me earlier?" After saying this, Eunuch Li ignored the young eunuch and hurried to the imperial study.

He had to tell the emperor the bad news as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the emperor blames him, he won't be able to bear the consequences.

Qiao Anan was looking at the account books in the mansion when she saw the second prince coming back with a lot of bags.

Qiao Anan looked up, and the first thing that caught her eye was Wangcai, the cat with its hair cut off, lying on the ground.

"Where did you find such an ugly dog?" Qiao Anan frowned and looked at the dog with its hair cut off.

Although later generations have seen hairless crested dogs, this dog's natural hairlessness is incomparable to the deliberate hairlessness. In comparison, this dog is truly bizarre.

You said it has no hair, but you can still see its short hair, which is cut a little unevenly.

Tell me it has hair. Whose dog has hair that looks like this?

"My father compensated me." Chu Haojue coughed lightly and said seriously.

"What outrageous thing have you done? Your father gave you such an ugly dog as compensation?" Qiao Anan felt that the emperor was clearly insulting Chu Haojue by giving this ugly dog to him.

"Not only that, there are these too." Chu Haojue pointed at the fish in the bucket and said.

Qiao Anan put down the account book in her hand out of curiosity and went to see what was in the bucket.

"What is this..." Qiao Anan looked at the golden arowana in the bucket with some surprise.

I was puzzled. Could it be that golden arowana has become popular these days?

I also saw a few fat koi fish nearby.

"Don't you want to eat arowana?" Chu Haojue said a little embarrassedly.

"You said this is a dragon fish." Qiao Anan looked at Chu Haojue in disbelief.

I was thinking, isn’t the dragon fish in the palace?

Is this something he can get whenever he wants?

"Dragon fish, there are only two of them in Chu Yuan Kingdom, and they are here, Princess, please accept them!" Chu Haojue said with a grin.

"The emperor is willing to give it to you." Qiao Anan's face turned red, and then she was surprised.

When did Huang Yi become so generous?

"Father doesn't know." Chu Haojue felt a little guilty when he said this.

However, he then thought that it was the emperor himself who said that he could choose anything he wanted in the palace as compensation.

"I'm afraid the emperor will issue an order to punish you soon." Qiao Anan thought that the fish was stolen by the second prince.

"No, this fish is a compensation given to me by my father. I won't punish you." Chu Haojue said righteously.

Of course, he also knew that if the emperor knew that he had taken the dragon fish, he would definitely be furious.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened, something bad has happened." Eunuch Li shouted as he walked.

"What's wrong? I'm fine!" Chu Yuanming looked at Eunuch Li who had just come in with displeasure and said.

I wondered if this old eunuch was too old to speak incoherently.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't explain it clearly. Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Second Prince has taken away all the dragon fish in the imperial garden." Eunuch Li did not dare to delay any longer and said quickly.

"What?" Chu Yuanming was so frightened when he heard this that he stood up.

The arowana was fished away.

How dare that brat?

"Your Majesty, I have really checked. Both fish were fished out." Eunuch Li said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Why didn't you stop him?" Chu Yuanming asked Eunuch Li.

The reason why he asked your father-in-law to go with one dollar was because he thought there were some things that shouldn't be taken, and he didn't want the second son to take them away.

It's better now.

That brat took away all the arowana.

Not even one was left for him.

What a skill.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just heard that Concubine De was coming here, so I asked the eunuch to keep an eye on her. I didn't expect that the Second Prince would take the dragon fish away as soon as I left." Eunuch Li said quickly.

"This brat! He might be attacking me today just to get my dragon fish." Chu Yuanming felt heartbroken when he thought of this.

His arowana!

"Let's go to Qiao's house." Chu Yuanming thought about it and decided that he had to hurry to Qiao's house to get his dragon fish back.

"Your Majesty, what if the Second Prince stewed all the dragon fish?" Eunuch Li said anxiously.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here!" Chu Yuanming became even more upset when he heard this.

His arowana cannot be stewed.

If all else fails, you can just give them all the koi in the Imperial Garden.

Qiao Anan looked at the bucket that Chu Haojue brought back with five fish in it and felt it was a bit crowded, so she asked the servant beside her to bring another bucket and fill it with water, and put the two dragon fish into the new bucket separately.

Who would have thought that as soon as I put it in another bucket, I saw the slightly smaller dragon fish wagging its tail, and soon, huge golden fish eggs came out of the dragon fish's belly.

"Can this fish lay golden eggs?" Chu Haojue was surprised to see that the dragon fish could actually lay golden eggs.

This was the first time he had seen this scene.

"Oh, no, this is the arowana laying eggs." Qiao Anan was a little excited. She felt that it was a very lucky thing to see the golden arowana laying eggs.

What's more, when the golden arowana lays eggs, she will have a school of arowanas.

"This is worthy of being a dragon fish. The eggs it lays are also golden yellow." Chu Haojue exclaimed.

"Yes, one, two, three..." Qiao Anan counted carefully and found that after the arowana laid twenty-six eggs, she did not see the arowana continue to lay eggs.

"Is it stopping now?" Chu Haojue asked when he saw that the dragon fish had stopped moving.

"It should be." Qiao Anan looked at the arowana and saw that it had already swam to the side. It probably had no intention of continuing to lay eggs.

"It seems that this dragon fish doesn't lay many eggs." Chu Haojue thought about the fish eggs he had seen before, which were all in large patches.

But the eggs laid by this dragon fish, although they look beautiful and are quite large, it seems that there are not many of them.

"Otherwise, why do you say it's rare?" Although there were only twenty-six eggs, Qiao Anan was still very happy to see them.

As the two were watching with great joy, they saw another slightly larger arowana swim over, open its mouth and swallow the eggs.

"How does he eat fish eggs?" Chu Haojue was originally looking forward to it, but when he saw this, he became a little anxious.
