Chapter 546 The Emperor’s Troubles


    When Boss Zhang heard what he said, he couldn''t help but glance at his daughter. Looking at Xiang''er''s ordinary appearance, his heart suddenly became cold. Forget it, this girl can''t be counted on.


    He whispered: "Village chief, you said I would give my daughter and niece to Xiao Fei as girls, would she be willing to take them?"


    ??The village chief rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can she want her? She is from the village. Does she treat your daughter as a human being or as a villager? This makes it inconvenient to call her out!"


    “Don’t make such a crooked idea.”


    Boss Zhang was silent, but he was thinking in his heart. Now that his family''s debts have been paid off, how about letting his son Dong Lai go to school.


    He is only nine years old in winter, which is not too late. The older man is already in his twenties and still needs to study. It is not wrong to follow Uncle Gu''s family.


    ?Here, Mrs. Qian tugged at the corner of Gu Zhong''s clothes, "Tell me, this Xiao Fei is married to the prince, can she help find a good marriage for our Xing''er?"


    ??Gu Zhong whispered: "Okay, after a while, you can talk to my sister-in-law."


    ??Ms. Qian nodded vigorously. This time, she wouldn''t agree to it unless she found someone who could give Xing''er a dowry gift of one hundred taels of silver!


    ?At the same time, Eunuch Xu, the **** who delivered the order, finally returned to the capital.


    ??The emperor heard that Eunuch Xu had returned and ordered him to return. He nodded and said, "Invite him to come in."


    Eunuch Xu came in and knelt down, holding his hands above his head. In his hand was a two thousand tael silver note.


    The emperor raised his eyelids and asked unhurriedly: "How?"


    Eunuch Xu lowered his head, "When the servant arrived, King Qi was drinking. After entering the gate, King Qi came in a hurry, dressed disheveled."


    “When he knelt down, he was unsteady and almost fell down. When he talked to the slave, he smelled of alcohol.”


    The emperor snorted softly, "I''m afraid he''s just pretending to show me!"


    He squinted his eyes, "Nothing else?"


    Eunuch Xu lowered his head and said, "Nothing else. I sent the imperial edict and rushed back without stopping at Prince Qi''s Mansion."


    ??The emperor glanced at the banknote he held above his head, lowered his eyes, and said slowly after a long while: "Since King Qi rewarded you, just take it."


    ?Eunuch Xu kowtowed and thanked him, and then slowly withdrew.


    ?Empress Zheng came out from behind the screen and saw the emperor''s calm expression. She said softly: "Is the emperor worried about King Qi?"


    The emperor snorted softly, "Not only King Qi, but which of my uncles is easy to get along with?"


    “Everyone bullies my young people, and they all covet my empire!”


    He narrowed his eyes, "But the most hateful thing is this King Qi. Back then, the old King Qi relied on the great-grandfather''s favor and got Donghai County as a fief. The great-grandmother also gave King Qi a good marriage."


    "Now the King of Qi wants money, and his Taishan master Qin Guogong has military power in his hands. Why doesn''t he make it difficult for me to sleep and eat well?"


    Empress Zheng said softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this. I heard that King Qi loves wine as much as his life, and he only dotes on his concubine. He is just a drunkard and a womanizer, so there is nothing to worry about."


    The emperor sneered, "What do you know? Now that King Qi is married to the Protector''s wife, he is becoming more and more powerful."


    ?Empress Zheng thought to herself, the Protector''s wife is just a widow, so what if she is married to the Prince of Qi? The emperor is so broad-minded, alas!


    But he said: "Speaking of which, before I came out of the cabinet, the daughter of the Protector''s wife was the most arrogant and domineering I have ever seen. It''s unbelievable that she is now the crown prince''s concubine."


    The emperor waved his hand and said, "She is not the crown prince''s concubine, but the eldest son who is married to the King of Qi."
