Chapter 156 In order to be worthy of being the Crown Princess
Author: Ge Rao
Chaoli smiled, took out three banknotes from his sleeves, put them on the table and showed them to Gu Hanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I went back to the imperial palace today. My original intention was to see my mother and see Chaozhen's jokes. I didn't expect that after my trip, I got an unexpected surprise. I got a gift from Chaolv.
." Chaoli said with a smile.
Gu Hanzhang looked up and saw a banknote of three thousand taels. No wonder Chaoli was so happy.
Indeed, three thousand taels is considered too much for ordinary officials, and it is also a large amount for the court. I guess Chao Lu will not have much left in his hands.
"No wonder he is so happy. It turns out he got three thousand taels of silver." Gu Hanzhang curled his lips slightly.
In fact, he really wanted to say that if Chaoli wanted money, he had plenty of it, as long as she was willing to ask for it.
Of course, it's not easy to say. He also knows a little about Chaoli's temperament.
"Your Majesty, my father is in need of help this time, and I would like your help. I wonder if it would be convenient for your Majesty to help me?" Chao Li smiled unfathomably.
Gu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled, as if he had never seen such an agile Chaoli.
Maybe it was too hard to love him, so Chaoli was more dignified in the past, and such a smile would almost never exist.
"What do you want from me?" Gu Hanzhang looked away and asked.
Chaoli didn't notice the difference between Gu Hanzhang and told Gu Hanzhang his thoughts seriously. Since he wanted Gu Hanzhang's help, he couldn't hide it from him.
"It's very simple. My father wants to join the Ministry of Punishment first. I know that the Crown Prince has the ability to do it. To enter the Ministry of Punishment, it only requires a word from the Crown Prince, and it doesn't require him to have access to secrets. It's just a pretense in the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know if the Crown Prince can do it.
Accept me?" Chaoli asked.
When asking, Chao Li guessed that Gu Hanzhang would not refuse. This was indeed a matter of his words.
What's more, the relationship between the two is relatively close now. It's not a big deal, so he shouldn't refuse.
"This matter is simple, but can you tell me what exactly you want to do?" Gu Hanzhang asked again.
Chaoli fell silent, unwilling to talk to Gu Hanzhang.
"I also ask the prince not to ask. I don't know how to speak about this matter. Anyway, I will not do anything to harm the prince's house. Chaoli is really grateful that the prince can help this time and does not dare to trouble the prince again."
Hearing these words, Gu Hanzhang was quite disappointed and a little depressed. It wasn't that Chaoli didn't want to trouble him, but that she didn't believe him.
"You can trust me." Gu Hanzhang said again.
Chao Li lowered his head, clenched his right fist, and dug his nails into the palm of his hand.
I believe you. It was because I believed you in my previous life that I didn’t end up well. How do you want me to believe you now?
"No need to worry, Prince, I have my own plans." Chaoli still refused.
Seeing Chaoli's resolute attitude, Gu Hanzhang had no choice but to give up.
"Well, come to me if you need anything."
Although he was disappointed, Gu Hanzhang did not continue to force Chaoli, and he did not even intend to let anyone find out what Chaoli was going to do.
Cheng Feng said that if you like someone, you must trust her and respect her wishes.
In this regard, Gu Hanzhang felt that what he said made sense.
Since it takes time to do things, Chao Li also suggested that Gu Hanzhang postpone Chao Lu's entry into the Ministry of Punishment in the future.

Time flies by and the Flower Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
The Flower Festival was first introduced from the Jiangnan area. The weather there is warmer earlier than in the capital, so the Flower Festival will also be earlier.
The Flower Festival here in the capital is once a year. When spring comes, young men and women go to the countryside to pick flowers, play in the lake, and have feasts and merrymaking.
To put it simply, it is more for men and women than the Lantern Festival.
The ladies and gentlemen of dignitaries would go to Nanyang Lake to participate. The scenery there was breathtaking, surrounded by flower gardens, and a huge pavilion in the middle of the lake was built.
There are even banquets held in the pavilion. This is organized by the government and is based on the will of the current Holy Emperor. However, most of the people invited are dignitaries from the capital or some royal businessmen.
Originally, the imperial merchants were not qualified to participate in these events, but border wars occasionally became tense, so Emperor Renxiao spent some time to elevate the status of the imperial merchants to participate in the Hua Chao Festival banquet, so that they could willingly contribute some money.
Used as military pay.
Even though the treasury was not empty, Emperor Renxiao still did not want all military pay to be allocated from the treasury.
You must know that his health was getting worse and worse, so he wanted to leave something for the future prince. This was probably what Emperor Renxiao thought.
Of course, the Flower Festival is not just for unmarried men and women. Married couples will also participate. It is the only opportunity to be overly intimate outside.
Today is the beautiful time of spring. Chaoli is also dressed a little more festively. She is wearing a lake green dress, a little pink on her face, and her mouth is red, which is simple and elegant.
Her skin is as beautiful as snow, her beauty is incomparable, and her face is stunningly beautiful.
When Gu Hanzhang changed his clothes to pick up Chaoli, he saw Chaoli walking toward him, and suddenly a sentence came to his mind.
Bright as spring flowers, bright as autumn moon.
"The Crown Princess has dressed up carefully today, and her face looks like a peach and plum." Gu Hanzhang said calmly.
Chaoli saw that Gu Hanzhang was wearing purple clothes today, with orchids jingling around his waist, so he thought he had taken care of himself.
"The Flower Festival is very nice. Isn't the prince also dressed up carefully?" Chaoli replied.
"Haha, it's just to match the princess's makeup and clothes." Gu Hanzhang replied.
Chaoli just smiled, with a different meaning in his eyes.
Do you think I believe it or not?
But during the Hua Chao Festival, she still remembered that after the Hua Chao Festival two years ago, she and Ling Xin went to visit Xiangshan together, and it was at that time that she met Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang was wearing a purple robe, his eyes were condensed, showing a somewhat unattainable alienation.
She didn't know why, but that first glance was imprinted in her heart after she saw it.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that she still has some respect for her face?
Chaoli smiled helplessly. It seemed that the so-called love at first sight was really about looks. She couldn't help but feel that she was a little superficial and funny.
Just because of that startling glance, I gave up my heart and waited foolishly for the other party's response.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Chao Li smiled gently.
"Your Majesty, it's almost time. We'd better set off as soon as possible. I'm afraid Ling Xin has already arrived."
Gu Hanzhang knew that Chaoli was avoiding what he just said, but he didn't mind.
"Okay, just go ahead."
The two walked out of Tingyu Pavilion together, and Gu Xiyue had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time.
Gu Xiyue was a little angry at first, but now that she saw Gu Hanzhang and Chaoli coming out together, she didn't dare to lose her temper again.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let's go."
Oops, it’s sunburn again. You guys should also pay attention to your health. I can’t even get up...
