Chapter 546 The Emperor's Troubles

Zhang Lao Da couldn't help but look at his daughter after hearing what he said. Seeing Xiang'er's ordinary appearance, his heart suddenly sank. Forget it, this daughter can't be relied on.

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

The village chief rolled his eyes at him, "How can she accept them? They are all fellow villagers. Does she treat your daughter as a servant or a fellow villager? It's not convenient to order her around!"

"Don't think of this crooked idea."

Zhang Lao Da didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart that his family's debts had been paid off now, otherwise, let his son Donglai go to school.

Donglai is only nine years old, it's not too late, Dalang is over 20 years old, and he still needs to study. It won't be wrong to follow Uncle Gu's family.

Qian tugged at Gu Zhong's clothes, "You said, Xiao Fei is married to the prince, can she help find a good marriage for our Xing'er?"

Gu Zhong whispered, "Yes, wait a while, you can talk to your sister-in-law about it."

Qian nodded vigorously. This time, she would not agree unless she found a man who could give Xing'er a betrothal gift of 100 taels of silver!

At the same time, the eunuch Xu Gonggong who delivered the imperial edict finally returned to the capital.

When the emperor heard that Xu Gonggong had returned to report, he nodded, "Call him in."

Xu Gonggong came in and knelt down, with his hands raised above his head, holding a silver note of 2,000 taels.

The emperor raised his eyelids and asked slowly, "How is it?"

Eunuch Xu lowered his head, "When I arrived, the King of Qi was drinking. After entering the gate, the King of Qi hurried over in dishevel."

"When he knelt down, he was unstable and almost fell down. When he spoke to me, his mouth was full of alcohol."

The emperor listened and snorted, "I'm afraid he was pretending to be so pretentious!"

He squinted, "Nothing else?"

Eunuch Xu lowered his head, "Nothing else, I passed on the imperial edict and rushed back, and did not stay in the King of Qi's mansion."

The emperor glanced at the silver note he held above his head, lowered his eyes, and slowly said after a while: "Since it is a reward from the King of Qi, you can take it."

Eunuch Xu kowtowed to thank him, and then slowly retreated.

Queen Zheng came out from behind the screen and saw the emperor's face was not looking good. She whispered, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the King of Qi?"

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

"Everyone bullies me because I'm young and covets my kingdom!"

He narrowed his eyes, "But the most hateful one is the King of Qi. Back then, the old King of Qi relied on the favor of his great grandfather and got the Donghai County as his fiefdom. The great grandmother also gave the King of Qi a good marriage."

"Now Qi The king has money if he wants it, and his Taishan Lord Qin Guogong holds the military power, how can I not be uneasy! "

Empress Zheng said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about these. I heard that the King of Qi loves wine like his life, and he only favors his concubine. He is just a drunkard and a womanizer, and there is no need to worry."

The emperor sneered, "What do you know? The King of Qi is now related to the Lady of the State Guard, and his power is getting stronger."

Empress Zheng thought, the Lady of the State Guard is just a widow, so what if she marries the King of Qi? The Emperor's mind, alas!

But she said: "Speaking of it, when I was still unmarried, I did see the daughter of the Lady of the State Guard. She was the most arrogant and domineering. I didn't expect that she is now the Crown Prince's Consort."

The emperor waved his hand, "Not the Crown Prince's Consort, but the eldest son of the King of Qi."
