Chapter 181 Nine Emperors Wife Has Money

Palace, Palace of Diligence.

Emperor Minghui put down the vermilion pen, raised his hand and rubbed his sore forehead.

"You said, Brother Chu Xu is selling a kind of paper, and he asks for three pennies from the common people for a thin sheet?"

Huang Tu raised his eyes, and his seemingly dutiful face was full of smiles, "The slave also heard the rumors, and I think His Royal Highness King Yan also has a special purpose in doing this."

Although, he is His Majesty's personal servant.However, some words were not suitable to come out of his mouth.Huang Tu lowered his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Minghui pondered for a moment, "Send someone to pass Chu Xu and Chu Yu into the palace." Then he paused and continued: "Oh, yes, call the girl next to Lao Jiu into the palace."

Huang Tu leaned over, said 'yes', bowed and slowly exited the Hall of Qinzheng.

Qu You distributed the 6 taels of silver, throwing away the 2 taels to be given to King Yan, and she took the rest of the 4 taels into her purse.

"Just this little money?" Chu Xu looked at the bank note and shouted in disbelief.

"Otherwise—" Qu You pouted.

"What about the three-point profit you promised to father?" Chu Xu asked leisurely, crossing his arms.

Ciao, these exploiters, is it easy for the uncle to make money? Everyone wants to come and share.Grinding her teeth, Qu You reluctantly took out 2 taels again.

"No, that's all."

Chu Xu took the bank note with bright eyes, and held it in his hands like a treasure, not letting go.

Damn, that's promising.Qu You turned her head in disdain, and decided that what is out of sight is pure.

After dividing the loot, everyone went out together, planning to go back to their homes and count the money silently.

"Why are you following here?" Qu You looked at Chu Xu who was walking over.

Chu Xu smiled, "I heard that a cook came to Prince Rui's residence, and his cooking skills are good. This king will go over and have a taste."

This guy is really hopeless, not only greedy, but also desperate for money.Qu You rolled his eyes at Chu Xu, turned his head and got into the carriage.

Chaoyang Street is not far from Prince Rui's Mansion, the carriage will go straight for a few hundred meters, and it will be there after a sharp turn.After the car came to a complete stop, Qu You looked at Chu Xu and the others, and saw the brothers of the Chu family stepping on the wooden steps step by step gracefully getting off the carriage.Well, there is progress. At least when dismounting, I don't want to step on the back of the servant.

"My lord, my concubine—" Feng Xian stepped forward anxiously.

Qu You turned his head and looked Feng Xian up and down, "Running so fast, is there a dog chasing after you?"

Feng Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a bitter face: "Eunuch Huang from the palace has come, and he has brought the Holy Majesty's order."

The brothers of the Chu family looked at each other and walked into the palace.

"My servant greets the two Highnesses." Huang Tu bowed slightly.

With a smile on Chu Xu's face, he quickly gave him a hand, "Eunuch Huang is polite."

Huang Tu straightened his waist, turned his head to Chu Yu, "His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Chu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, exuding the aura that strangers should not enter.

Huang Tu smiled awkwardly, and turned his gaze to Qu You, "This is the future Princess Rui."

Qu You's eyes rolled back and forth, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Emma, ​​I didn't expect that she could still see real eunuchs in her lifetime, and I don't know if they are the same as the ones in the legend. There is no below——

Huang Tu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Qu You. He raised his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly, "Since His Royal Highness King Yan is here, the old servant will save himself a trip."

Chu Yu curled his lips into a sneer, and a trace of hostility flashed in his eyes, "So, please trouble Eunuch Huang."

Huang Tu was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, a smile crept onto his face again, "Your Highness is serious." Bowing slightly, he continued to respectfully say: "The Emperor ordered His Highness Yan Wang and His Highness Prince Rui to enter the palace."

"My son obeys the order." After saying that, Chu Xu stuffed a bank note into Huang Tu's hand with a charming smile.

Huang Tu took the silver ticket and stuffed it into his cuff casually, with a satisfied smile on his face, "This servant almost forgot that when His Majesty lets the two lords enter the palace, he must bring Princess Rui with him."

Chu Xu was startled, and glanced at Qu You who was beside him.

After Huang Tu delivered the message, he walked out of the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion with satisfaction, taking the bank note that Chu Xu had given him.

"Bah--eunuch." Qin Yufeng showed disgust on his face.

Qu You stood aside, making a few turns in her heart.This Eunuch Huang is playing well, if the King of Yan hadn't stuffed him with a bank note just now, he probably wouldn't have said that the Holy Majesty also summoned him.At that time, if the emperor blames him, the Chu Xu brothers will not be able to argue.

"My lord, Huang Tu is different from Liu Bing. This eunuch has a weird mind and is cunning and changeable. We have to make arrangements as soon as possible." Luo Yu glanced at Brother Chu Xu, and his expression gradually became serious.

"It's just a eunuch, and this king won't notice it." Chu Xu raised his right hand, stared at the white nails, and smiled strangely.

For the safety of Qu You's entering the palace, Chu Yu made many arrangements, and even called out Zi Ling who was secretly protecting her on weekdays.

"This time when you enter the palace, you will follow the concubine. If she makes a mistake, you will come to see her."

Zi Ling knelt on the ground with a solemn expression, "This subordinate will definitely protect you to the death."

Chu Yu nodded, turned around and told Huanshan to put on the 'crescent phoenix tail skirt' she made earlier for Qu You.

Huanshan nodded, turned her head and ran away in a hurry.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone finished grooming and got into the carriage to enter the palace.

Chu Xu looked at Qu You with a tense expression, and couldn't help but smile, "Ninth siblings don't need to worry too much."

Qu You shrugged, and pursed her lips speechlessly.It would be a lie to say that she is not nervous, she has never met the emperor in her two lifetimes, and now she is suddenly let into the palace.

"After entering the palace, follow behind me, and you must not go far away." Chu Yu held Qu You's hand, and slowly pulled him down in front of him.

Qu You nodded, and became quiet for the first time in his life.

The carriage rattled along, and the few people in the carriage were silent, and there was a dignified breath in the air.

"My lord, the Xuanwu Gate is here." Luo Yu's voice sounded from outside the car.

Chu Xu turned his head to look at Qu You, and got out of the carriage first.

Qu You and the two followed closely behind, walking quickly towards the Qinzheng Hall.

"Slave, please greet the two lords." Huang Tu greeted him with a smile.

Chu Xu nodded, "Father is in the study room."

Huang Tu smiled, glanced at Qu You from the corner of the eye, "The emperor ordered the slaves to wait for the prince here."

"That's it, thank you, Eunuch Huang." It seems that the 500 taels of banknotes were not wasted.A dark light flashed in Chu Xu's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said thanks.

Chu Yu took Qu You's hand, and walked towards Qinzheng Hall.

"His Royal Highness, wait a minute." Huang Tu raised his hand to block the way.

Chu Yu turned her head and looked at Huang Tu indifferently.

"The emperor ordered Princess Rui to wait here."

Chu Yu narrowed his eyes, his eyes as dark as You Tan flashed fiercely.He just looked at Huang Tu coldly, "Repeat what you just said to me."

Huang Tu raised his eyes in fear, his body trembling like a sieve because of fright.He looked into Chu Yu's eyes, and from those handsome Danfeng eyes, he seemed to see a dead silence.

"Old Ninth." Chu Xu shook his head.

Chu Yu frowned, and shifted his gaze to Qu You's face, "Stay here and don't move, shout loudly if you have something to do." Then, he slowly let go of his hand.

Qu You nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, don't worry."

Chu Xu gave Qu You an encouraging look, turned around and walked into the Hall of Qinzheng first.

Chu Yu looked back at each step, his eyes silently warned Zi Ling.

"Princess Rui, this way please—" After brothers Chu Xu left, Huang Tu led Qu You to the Youlan Pavilion.

Qu You looked around quietly, because she was too nervous when she entered the palace just now, she just lowered her head and followed behind the brothers of the Chu family, she didn't even notice what the palace gate looked like.

"Princess Rui can tell these palace servants what she wants to use. It's inconvenient for the miscellaneous family to stay longer, so I'll go back to serve the emperor." Huang Tu pointed to the maid at Youlan Pavilion.

Qu You nodded, thank you.

After Huang Tu left, Qu You sat quietly in the gazebo by himself, letting the cold night wind blow on him.

"Who are you?" The questioning voice sounded from behind Qu You.

Qu You turned around suspiciously, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, soft-looking beauty in palace attire approaching her.

"Presumptuous." The maid behind the woman yelled out.

Qu You frowned, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.It doesn't stop anywhere, and you can always meet annoying mad dogs.

The woman stepped forward and secretly looked at Qu You.She looks ordinary, but her clothes are extraordinary.Just looking at the Liuyun brocade on her body, even if I was in the palace, I didn't see a few of them.

"Who are you, why are you sitting alone in the Orchid Pavilion late at night?"

Qu You took a deep breath, "I'm Qu You."

Surname Qu?The woman twisted Xiumei, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.Now that I heard that Prince Rui was accused of marrying a country girl named Qu, could it be that she——

"You are Princess Rui?"

Qu You nodded, with a smile on her pretty face. "It's a girl from the people."

The woman nodded slightly, moved to the gazebo, "It's cool in the night, come in and sit."

Qu You looked back, looked at the woman's back, and suddenly had a good feeling in her heart.

"I haven't asked, you are—"

The court lady Liuying stepped forward, "My princess is ranked No. 13." The round smiling face reflected a sweet smile, which was not as arrogant as before.

"Princess Thirteen." Qu You approached and kissed her gently.

"Sister-in-law Nine Emperors, don't be too polite. After you pay this respect, Brother Nine will insist on my younger sister's return." The thirteenth princess, Chu Yuan, stuck out her tongue lightly, looking cute and mischievous.

Qu You relaxed, and sat down slowly near the stone table.

Chu Yuan looked at the empty table, a trace of anger flashed across her charming face, "Come here—" There was a hint of anger in her voice.

"The servants have met Princess Qinghua, and the princess is blessed and safe." The palace people from outside the pavilion came after hearing the sound.

Chu Yuan held back her anger, and patted the stone table vigorously with her jade hands, "That's how you neglect Princess Rui, you don't even serve a plate of candied fruit for tea."

Just now, I was worried about Brother Chu Yu, but now, after the thirteenth princess said this, Qu You realized that the stone table was actually empty, and it was really not so clean and tidy.

Qu You's silent sneer, presumably it should be a hint from Eunuch Huang when he left, otherwise even in the face of Chu Yu, how dare these servants who are used to stepping on the highs and lows dare to neglect themselves.

"Forget it, I'm a folk girl, and I'm not used to the pastries in this palace." After speaking, she turned her head with a look of desolation in her eyes.

Chu Yuan's face changed drastically, and her smile gradually subsided.How could she not understand Qu You's words, this obviously meant that she had been wronged, and felt aggrieved in her heart.

"Sister-in-law Nine Emperors doesn't need to intercede for them. If they are wrong, they are wrong." After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Liuying, "Take them down, and everyone will whip twenty."

"The servants are wrong, I beg the princess to spare their lives." Everyone was stunned, knelt down and cried and begged for mercy.

"Take it down." Chu Yuan narrowed her almond eyes.

"Princess, concubine, please spare me, the servants will not dare to do so." Some palace servants cast their eyes on Qu You.

If I had known why I did it today, Qu You sighed softly, and slowly turned her eyes away.

"Take it down and execute it in Jingyuan Palace."

Crying, begging for mercy, one after another intertwined, sounded like a symphony in the silent night.

Chu Yuan glanced at the expressionless Zi Ling from the corner of her eye, and then glanced at Qu You, who was expressionless, and nodded with satisfaction.That's right, although his background is a bit low and his appearance is a bit ordinary, but just looking at his demeanor, it is more than enough to ration Jiu Ge.

"Sister-in-law Nine Emperors."

Qu You turned her head, with a smile in her eyes.

"Your Flowing Brocade—" it was a gift from Brother Nine.Chu Yuan cleverly swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Qu You shook her head and changed her mind, "Princess Thirteen likes it."

Sure enough, Chu Yuan's eyes brightened, but she became more cautious when talking to Qu You, "Liuyun brocade has only become popular in recent years. It is said that it is made of high-quality silkworm cocoons and is refined by dozens of embroiderers for seven days. Just finished."

It's really evil, there are dozens of embroidered cocoons.Could it be that the silkworm babies in her space were spun into threads, handed over to two sisters, Qingyu and Qingyuan, who weaved with an improved loom for a total of one and a half days.

"Liuyun brocade is really rare." Qu You went down the donkey along the slope.

"My concubine and I both like Liuyun Brocade. If Sister-in-Law Nine Emperors is convenient, can I bring one with my younger sister next time I enter the palace?" Chu Yuan looked at Qu You sincerely.

Qu You stared at Chu Yuan for a moment, but apart from that smiling face full of goodwill and pure watery eyes, she couldn't find anything else.

"The thirteenth princess is polite. If it's convenient, Qu You will definitely help."

Chu Yuan nodded, and changed the subject appropriately.

The aunt and sister-in-law were chatting and laughing, while testing each other.Time passed by every minute and every second, and two hours later, the Chu Xu brothers came slowly from the Palace of Qinzheng.

"Brother Five Emperors, Brother Nine Emperors." Chu Yuan stood up smiling.

Chu Xu heard the reputation, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "Why is Yuan'er here?" There was a bit of pampering in the words.

Chu Yuan ran over bouncingly, looking like a pretty girl, without the majesty and indifference she had just treated the palace servants.

"Yuan'er is here to accompany Nine Emperor Sisters." She raised her small face and blinked for praise.

Chu Xu scratched Chu Yuan's nose lightly, "Little girl, you hugged your thigh right this time, your sister-in-law Nine Emperors is a rich master."

Ah——Chu Yuan turned her head in surprise.

A smile crossed Chu Yu's indifferent face, and for the first time, he raised his hand to rub Chu Yuan's beautiful hair. "Brother Nine has heard about it, this time you have done a great job in protecting your sister-in-law, so just ask what you want."

Chu Yuan chuckled, her dark eyes rolled slightly.
