Suppressing the worries in his heart, His Majesty the Emperor sneered: "Since you are so generous, do you mean that you don't plan to let her enter the palace in the future?"
"Since I am the crown prince, I naturally know the burdens and responsibilities on my shoulders. Marriage is also a major matter of choosing a princess for the country. It is also a state matter. Naturally, it is the father and the queen who have the final say. How dare I make a private life decision with someone without authorization?
?" When His Highness the Crown Prince said this, he was sincere and filled with unspeakable grievances.
These words made His Majesty the Emperor silent for a moment.
The emperor was very satisfied with this son: he was mature and prudent. He looked at a child who was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he acted more maturely and calmly than many courtiers.
If these qualifications are carefully cultivated for a few more years, even if he cannot become a king of ZTE in the future, he will have no problem at all in becoming a king of preservation.
But the queen always said in private that she felt sorry for her son: He didn't look like a child! He had been like a little old man since he was a child.
If His Highness the Crown Prince's words today reveal his desire for Qiao Xiaofu, His Majesty the Emperor really intends to bring Qiao Xiaofu into the palace.
In the future, when His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding is over, Qiao Xiaofu will be given to the Crown Prince as his concubine.
But the prince said that his marriage was a state matter and the emperor and queen had the final say...
At this young age, I am ready to give up my own preferences and only focus on the country.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but feel a rare feeling of guilt: "Okay, you go back first. Don't run out for the next few days."
"Yes." His Highness the Crown Prince showed no intention of resisting at all. He obediently agreed, resigned calmly, and returned to the palace in a dignified manner.
"Liu Hongwang!"
The eunuch who stood silently outside the door quietly came in: "Your Majesty, this old slave is here."
"Let's go to the Queen's Palace."
"yes."
…
It was not until he returned to his palace and drank a cup of tea that His Highness the Crown Prince quietly exhaled: This test has been passed.
Qiao Xiaofu, it's safe.
Regarding the matter of Qiao Xiaofu, His Highness the Crown Prince never thought that he could hide it from his father for the rest of his life.
But how to lift this lid, and even how to let Qiao Xiaofu leave a good impression on His Majesty, is very important.
If his father feels that Qiao Xiaofu is seducing him, or if Qiao Xiaofu despises the Tian family, then what awaits Qiao Xiaofu will definitely not be a good outcome.
Even though he may not be able to get together with Qiao Xiaofu in this life, His Highness the Crown Prince definitely does not want Qiao Xiaofu to end up miserable because of him.
Fortunately, if he dealt with it properly today, Qiao Xiaofu should not be implicated by himself.
"Pillar."
"My servant is here." The chubby little eunuch immediately wandered in.
"Change."
"yes."
His Royal Highness the Prince got up and went to change clothes: although autumn had already entered the capital, his back was already wet from the performance just now.
However, His Highness the Crown Prince was completely unaware that after His Majesty the Emperor entered the Queen's Palace, the Queen immediately followed her with excitement and curiosity and asked, "How is it? What did Qi'er say? What's going on with that girl?"
It's as if he was curious about "how do my own pigs grow cabbage?"
His Majesty the Emperor raised his hand and pressed it down: "Look at your curiosity! Wait for me to drink some water."
"Yes, yes, yes, Yinqiu, serve tea to His Majesty quickly!" The Empress perfunctorily asked someone to serve tea to His Majesty, and then looked at the Emperor with burning eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only put down the tea and recount the situation of summoning Zhao Qi today.
After saying this, the queen became even more curious: "It's rare for him to have someone he likes...Although that girl is of a lower background, if Qi'er really likes her, it doesn't matter. It's rare for him to protect her with such full strength, otherwise she would just go along with him.
Heart right?"
His Majesty the Emperor sneered: "Then you are wrong. This girl's background is not as low as you think..."
…
At night, Qiao Chu, the three little ones, and Cui Xiuxiu had dinner at Mr. Dongfang's place and returned to their home. The three little ones had just returned to their rooms. Before Qiao Chu entered her room, she suddenly heard a movement and without thinking,
Clap it with one palm!
"Chuchu, it's me!" A man's voice sounded low, it was Qiao Ancheng.
"Brother? Why are you here? How do you know we live here?" Qiao Chu withdrew his strength in time and looked at his eldest brother in astonishment as he climbed over the wall in a black brocade robe.
Qiao Ancheng laughed dryly: "It's not difficult to find you in this capital city."
"Oh. You came here so late, but you have something to do?" Qiao Chu looked around and asked Qiao Ancheng to go into the study room in his yard to talk.
After entering the study and taking a seat, Qiao Ancheng asked in a low voice with some embarrassment: "Do the three children... know about me?"
He missed the child very much.
Qiao Chu nodded: "Xiao Fu knows."
The other two were still young after all, so they didn't know for fear that they would leak it.
"I...can I see Xiaofu?" Qiao Ancheng asked immediately.
In the past few months in the capital, Qiao Ancheng was afraid that his every move would be watched, and he did not dare to ask anyone to inquire about Qiao Xiaofu, Qiao Chu and others, which would bring disaster to them. Therefore, Qiao Ancheng was really very concerned about them.
Missed.
Qiao Chu thought for a while and told Qiao Ancheng that her sister-in-law had secretly remarried. Finally, she reminded Qiao Ancheng: "I can call Xiaofu over, but the sister-in-law's matter has hit Xiaofu hard. Try not to dwell on this matter in front of Xiaofu.
…”
"Okay!" Qiao Ancheng agreed neatly.
"Also... Xiaofu has changed a lot in the past few months. He is no longer the innocent little girl who only acted coquettishly at you... You must be prepared in your heart." Qiao Chu warned again.
Qiao Ancheng nodded again.
He has already found out that Qiao Xiaofu is one of the owners of Tianxiang Tower, and Xiaofu has the final say on many things.
It can even be said that Tianxiangfang is now managed by Qiao Xiaofu.
In other words, a teenage boy could actually make such a big Tianxiangfang!
This kind of thing sounds incredible, but my eldest daughter actually did it!
Qiao Ancheng was both distressed and proud: How could his daughter be so capable?! She was obviously still a child...
When Qiao Chu went to find Qiao Xiaofu, Qiao Xiaofu had already arranged for her younger brothers and sisters to sleep and was settling accounts in her own small study.
The little girl under the light made a little abacus and made a crackling sound, as if she was already a skilled accountant.
Qiao Chu quietly entered the room: "Come with me."
Qiao Xiaofu looked up blankly: "Auntie, please wait for me for a while. I still have two pages of account books to finish. I'll be there in a moment."
"Okay." Qiao Chu didn't push her, just stood aside and waited for her to settle the score.
Qiao Xiaofu quickly finished it. He picked up a small writing brush and wrote a line of words at the bottom of the account page. Then he stood up unhurriedly: "Let's go."
But he didn’t ask where to go or what to do.
Qiao Chu knew that this little girl must have guessed it.
While feeling distressed, Qiao Chu took Qiao Xiaofu's hand and walked out of the small study side by side.
As soon as he went out, he saw a man in black robe standing quietly in the moonlight in the courtyard. It was Qiao Ancheng. Apparently, he had seen through the window the way Qiao Xiaofu was holding an abacus under the lamp just now.
