The foolish king's marriage to the ugly concubine

Chapter 41

"This is what the emperor said, and the two princes are both witnesses. The emperor speaks well, if Xinran doesn't follow through, wouldn't he be disobedient to the emperor?" Mu Xinran's lips curled up slightly, smiling like a cunning fox.

Chu Xuanpu smacked her lips twice, her pupils dilated slightly, shock was unavoidable, but her nature was uncontrollable, her eyes were already half-bent with a smile, watching the play with relish.

Chu Xuanjin was so angry that she hit the snake with a stick, and she opened a dyeing room for some color.

"Then I would like to see what the third sibling will do next."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xinran will go all out to meet your 'expectation'." As he spoke, Mu Xinran took out a piece of paper that was folded squarely and only one inch in size from his cuff, and asked Eunuch Fu to pass it on to Chu. Xuanjin.

Chu Xuanjin opened the paper that had been folded in half several times, and looked at the densely packed small characters on it, her face gradually became gloomy. Upon closer inspection, the dark face actually deepened inch by inch, and finally had a tendency to compete with the bottom of the pot.

Everyone was very curious about what Mu Xinran wrote on the paper, which would make the happy emperor's expression so ugly.

Seeing that Chu Xuanjin remained silent for a long time, but the air-conditioning around her body was getting stronger and stronger, and even people sitting a few feet away could feel it, Chu Xuanpu couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Huang, what did the Third Sister-in-Law write?"

"Hmph!" Chu Xuanjin threw the paper on the ground with force, and the weightless piece of thin paper spun lightly, and finally landed on the corner of the table.

Chu Xuanjin smiled instead of anger, her dark eyes deepened, "You are really bold!"

Chu Xuanpu opened his eyes, Brother Huang is really angry!He knew that it was not appropriate to cause trouble now, but he was really curious about what Mu Xinran wrote that made the emperor so angry. He got up from his seat and walked to the table, bent down to pick up the paper that was thrown on the ground, glanced lightly, and his eyes opened up. He opened his eyes wide suddenly, looking down one by one, his eyes widened, and his small mouth was stretched enough to hold a fist.

"This... what is this? 10 taels of gold, ten pieces of brocade, jade and jewels..."

After reading it later, Chu Xuanpu became numb.

Suddenly feeling a little dry in his throat, Chu Xuanpu stopped, and looked at Mu Xinran in a daze: "You, you are not begging for something on the paper from Brother Huang, are you?"

"Why not?" Mu Xinran nodded as a matter of course and admitted that she was here to ask for some 'pocket money'.

"You, do you know how much the things on it are worth?" Leaving aside the gold, the Yuehua brocade alone, the best of the Sichuan brocade, has an annual output of no more than one hundred pieces, and less than [-] pieces of it are brought into the Western Chu Palace. Twenty horses, now she opened her mouth to go to ten horses, and the jade and jewels behind, all of which are priceless treasures, the lion is not as big as she is when it opens its mouth!
"Nonsense, I don't know if I'll list it?" Mu Xinran threw him an idiot's eyeball, Chu Xuanpu was speechless immediately, did he make a mistake, his majestic prince was actually despised by a little girl!
"Your Majesty, you have read the list, can you settle it?"

"Settlement? You mean that I owe you money, and it's such a huge sum?" Chu Xuanjin really wanted to pry open her head to see what was inside. If she had the guts to provoke him, it would be fine. Dare to reach out to ask him for money, do you think that the emperor is just a show?
"Hehe, the emperor was joking." Mu Xinran raised her lips and smiled innocently, "Before she married into the palace the day before yesterday, the concubines had nothing to do with the emperor, so naturally there was no debt. Then marry Queen Rui , The concubine is from Prince Rui's residence, yesterday the concubine looked at the accounts for a long time, and stayed up all night to check the warehouse of the palace, and found that something was missing."

"Something is missing? Could it be that a thief got in?" Chu Xuanpu blinked energetically.

"Prince Yu is worrying too much. The guards in Prince Rui's residence are sent by the emperor, so of course they will not send some useless people. Don't you think so, Your Majesty."

Chu Xuanjin narrowed her eyes, looked at Mu Xinran meaningfully, and responded lightly.

"I heard that the three younger siblings are quite dissatisfied with the servants I sent to Prince Rui's mansion. They executed quite a few yesterday. Did they annoy the third younger siblings, or did the third younger siblings complain about me?"

"Your Majesty must understand the painstaking efforts of his concubines. His Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time without knowing Prince Rui's difficulties. Those servants are obedient and disobedient. They did not serve His Majesty well according to His Majesty's instructions. Instead, they pulled their teeth out of their mouths. They committed crimes against their superiors through His Majesty's help." In the name of making trouble in the palace, the courtiers just couldn't see their villainous faces, and they didn't feel angry that they ruined the emperor's reputation, so they ordered people to punish a few people in a fit of anger. I couldn't bear it and swallowed my breath. Prince Yu was also there at the time, why don't you ask him?"

Hearing this, several people turned their attention to Chu Xuanpu.

He rubbed his nose, a trace of helplessness flashed in his nimble black eyes, this third sister-in-law really made the best use of everything, bah, I was wrong, he is not a thing, but I'm afraid the third sister-in-law really used him as a tool.

"Brother Huang, sister-in-law Huang is right. I went to visit Brother Sanhuang yesterday, but I didn't expect to see a few evil servants swearing at Sanhuang's wife. One of the servants who had served Sanhuang for more than ten years even arrested her. Brother Sanhuang threatened the wife of the emperor, the situation was critical at that time, and my younger brother Shu's eloquence was not good enough to describe it vividly, but those slaves were really daring, probably they really used the name of the emperor to commit trouble and act as a minion."

"You bastard! Those dog slaves who eat and crawl around dare to do things that are inferior to pigs and dogs!" Chu Xuanjin was furious when she heard the words, and jumped up, her eagle-like sharp eyes flashed a cold haze.

"Fulu!"

"The slave is here."

"Go and call Commander Xiao to me."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Mu Xinran's words were like a spring breeze and drizzle, and Chu Xuanjin suppressed her anger and asked in a deep voice: "What do the third siblings have to say? If it is to intercede for those slaves, it will be avoided. That kind of bullying Above all, dog slaves who take advantage of their power to bully their masters should be severely punished."

"Heh, why does the emperor have to be angry for a few humble lives? The courtiers and concubines are not those good men and women who eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhism, so naturally they will not intercede for the servants who bullied the prince. It's just that others don't know that those dog slaves did such rebellious things. They were sent by the emperor, if the emperor ordered them to be executed now, killing a boatload of people with this pole will surely chill the hearts of those loyal officials and slaves."

"Then according to my younger siblings, how should I deal with them?" Chu Xuanjin waved her hand to signal Fulu to step aside, and sat down on the dragon chair again, the sullenness on her face subsided a little.A pair of dark pupils looked directly at Mu Xinran, if it hadn't been for the sudden slap on the table just now, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

"The killing of chickens and monkeys yesterday can be regarded as teaching them some lessons, let them continue to stay in Prince Rui's mansion to serve the lord well. If they dare to commit another crime, Zhen Qin, Zhenshou and others will be their fate. With their concubines around, they feel somewhat panicked , carefully serving in the palace, isn't this the best punishment?"
