Chapter 228 The romance of a straight man

Zhu Peng raised the banknotes with both hands above his head, his eyes extremely sincere and sincere: "My nephew heard that up to now, my aunt is still wearing ragged clothes. Even though Prince Ding's palace has gained power, she still refuses to buy new clothes."

"In order to wake up and reflect on myself, my nephew admires his aunt and is willing to follow his example. From then on, he will practice diligence and thrift to clarify his ambition."

"As long as you have enough money to spend, any extra money will be vain. Rather than keeping it around to encourage unhealthy tendencies, it's better to give it all to my uncle."

"After all, my uncle wants to stop the Jin soldiers in Yizhou and has a lot of money to spend. This can be regarded as a part of my nephew's attention."

Even Zhao Huan didn't expect that Zhu Peng would change so completely, and his dislike of him gradually dissipated.

As the saying goes, if you know your mistakes and can correct them, you are still a good comrade.

Zhao Huan no longer refused. He nodded to Changfu to accept the bank note. At the same time, he looked at Zhu Peng and said seriously: "Although I will retaliate for my anger, I will not seek to make amends afterward."

"As long as you work diligently in the future and know the honor and disgrace of progress, I will naturally not be so harsh on you again."

To Zhu Peng, these words were like sounds of nature.

He burst into tears of gratitude and once again knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Huanxing three times to show that he had completely changed his past.

The happiest person at the scene was undoubtedly Zhu Bocai.

After all, Zhu Peng is also the eldest grandson of the Zhu family. Naturally, he does not want to see Zhu Peng and Zhao Huan become enemies and lead to death.

Now that Zhu Peng finally came to his senses and got Zhao Huan's understanding, Zhu Bocai's frown finally relaxed.

He immediately stood up, smiled again, and his voice became extremely cheerful.

"Your Majesty is magnanimous. The Zhu family should remember the merits of setting up the palace and remember not to test the law by yourself again."

"The bloody example of Zhu Boping's lineage will never happen again."

"To celebrate the reconciliation between Prince Ding and the Zhu family, a family dinner will be held three days later to formally welcome Prince Ding and Princess Ding home."

Everyone understood that Zhao Huan was extremely cruel and brutal towards his enemies, but he was as warm as the spring breeze towards his own people. Xiaochai was an example.

Being able to become Zhao Huan's family will give you someone to rely on in this life.

The Zhu family, which was originally filled with a solemn atmosphere, became joyful again, and everyone looked at Zhao Huan with unprecedented warmth and respect.

In the evening, Zheng Qingyun was accompanying Zhu Lian in the inner house to relieve the grief over Xiaochai's death.

Xiaoxia ran over happily.

"Your Royal Highness, I have just received news that the Zhu family will hold a family banquet in three days to welcome you and the prince home."

"Oh, by the way, these are the banknotes that Butler Changfu just sent back, totaling eleven thousand taels of silver. I asked my slave to give them to you."

"This is the gift of apology given to you by the Zhu family. I hope you can put aside your past grudges and become friends with your family again."

Zhu Lian, who was originally feeling depressed, finally regained a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Although Xiaochai is gone, as long as the prince is by her side, she still has the courage to continue living.

Zhu Lian did not answer, but said bluntly: "Send the money to the accountant. I don't keep any private money."

"The palace is spending a lot of money now, and it has to support the Yizhou war. When Yue Fei left the capital yesterday, he took away 10,000 taels of silver to supplement military expenses."

"At this time, everything is focused on the palace."

Xiaochai looked a little embarrassed: "The prince has repeatedly emphasized that this money is the dowry given by the Zhu family to His Highness the Princess."

dowry?!

Zhu Lian was stunned on the spot, then his nose became sore and he almost cried.

When she married into Prince Ding's palace, it was a grand ceremony, but when the Zhu family found out that Zhao Huan was stupid and cowardly, they immediately changed their mind and there was no substantial dowry.

Because of this, Zhu Lian was actually very shabby when he came through.

Maybe Zhao Huan didn't care, but as a woman, Zhu Lian, this was always a knot in her mind.

Now that Zhao Huan went to the Zhu family in person, he not only repaired the relationship between Prince Ding and the Zhu family, but also helped her get her dowry back. Zhu Lian was naturally very moved.

When Zheng Qingyun saw this, he quickly stood by to comfort him.

"Sister, just accept the money. After all, this is the prince's wish."

"Before, at the Liu family, the prince also gave me many valuable things, including not only the authentic paintings of the saints that can be used as family heirlooms, but also tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"At first I planned to send the money to the accountant, but the prince severely stopped me."

"The prince said that if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. He single-handedly faced the court's traitors. If he loses one day, as the eldest son of the emperor, although he will not lose his life, the decline of his family's fortune will be inevitable."

"When the palace is raided, whether we can make a comeback depends on our dowry."

"No matter how cruel your Majesty is, you can't pay attention to the dowry."

Zhu Lian suddenly realized that Zhao Huan was stuffing money into her and Zheng Qingyun as a way out. He was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

In this case, Zhu Lian no longer hesitated and immediately accepted all the eleven thousand taels of silver.

Zheng Qingyun covered his mouth and chuckled: "There are a lot of criticisms of the prince. They always say that the prince is stingy and is not willing to buy a new coat for his sister."

"But who knew that the prince would be so bold and bold in private?"

"A new coat only costs six to seven hundred taels of silver, but the silver and gifts that the prince gave to you and my sister are probably almost one hundred thousand taels of silver, right?"

Zhu Lian nodded, recalling Zhao Huan's kindness to her, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"The prince has always done more than talked, and is extremely pragmatic. Being able to marry the prince is a blessing that you and I, sisters, have cultivated in our previous lives."

Hearing this, Zheng Qingyun's cheeks turned red: "Sister, I've said it before, I haven't married the prince yet..."

Zhu Lian reached out and patted Zheng Qingyun's arm, and said softly: "Isn't this a matter of time?"

"Even if His Majesty refuses, the Ministry of Rites refuses, and Zongzheng Temple refuses, it will not affect the future of you and the prince at all."

"The things that the prince has promised you will be fulfilled even if it involves mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Zheng Qingyun felt angry for a while, but then felt sad again. Due to his unclean family background, it would be extremely difficult for him to marry into the prince's palace legitimately.

Chen Yushu, who was waiting aside, looked at the happy faces of Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun, and felt envious in her heart.

Zhu Lian also noticed this newcomer and knew that he was chosen by the prince, so it was natural, but he still felt a little curious.

"May I have your name?"

Zheng Qingyun helped explain: "Her name is Chen Yushu, she was a poor person who the prince rescued when he went to the Liu family before."

After learning the whole story, Zhu Lian nodded lightly and whispered: "Xiao Xia and Xiao Chai entered the mansion in the same year. From now on, you can stay with Xiao Xia to see more and learn more."
