Chapter 176 The Stressed King Chen
"Listen to me, both of you!" Chu Nanyue looked at the two people's similar expressions and explained, "The emperor has spoken with all his might, and Prince Ning is determined to get it. If we don't use some extraordinary means, there will be no turning back!"
Xiao Hanye snorted coldly: "So, you are going to sacrifice me?"
Su Xi also refused: "This is against moral principles, it is absolutely not allowed!"
"No, what's more important, fear of what others say or lifelong happiness? After you and I follow the example of Ehuang and Nvying and marry the prince together, if you can't get used to living in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, we can live together in Beiyuan. Don't worry, the prince has agreed to transfer Beiyuan to me. Then, you can just live there as if it were your own home. In short, except for the title of Princess of Yan in name, you are still as free as before. Not only can you get the salary from the Prince of Yan's Mansion, but when you are bored, you can also climb over the wall to the next door to play Landlord with Big Brother. Isn't that wonderful?"
"In the future, after Prince Ning gets married, if you want to regain your freedom, you can just ask the prince to sign a divorce letter. If you still want to continue living in Beiyuan, I will fully support you!"
Her words were impeccable, and Su Xi was actually moved.
Xiao Hanye was extremely angry.
So he is just a tool?
He interrupted their fantasies in a gloomy way and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Don't even think about it!"
Chu Nanyue finally managed to convince Su Xi and was daydreaming.
The time that Su Xi was staying in Beiyuan was just right for her to communicate with her elder brother. By the time she divorced Xiao Hanye, her elder brother might have become a scholar. Adding Su Xi's second marriage, the two of them would be a perfect match.
Moreover, their common younger brother Su Xun would not have to worry about anything in the future.
It can be said that this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. She is really smart.
But what happened to someone?
She looked at someone unhappily: "My Lord, what's wrong with you? You don't have any losses, do you?"
Wouldn't it be the worst that he would get scolded by the Emperor?
His face is as thick as a city wall, and he doesn't seem like someone who cares!
"Are you unhappy about giving the princess a salary after marriage? Then I don't have to give my share, okay? Not only that, I will also cover your food, clothing, housing and transportation during your stay in Beiyuan, okay?"
Xiao Hanye: "Does this prince look like someone who cares about a little money?"
Chu Nanyue nodded: "At first you didn't want to pay for my medicine!"
Xiao Hanye: “…”
Out to mix, sooner or later have to repay.
Seeing that he looked constipated, Chu Nanyue took the initiative to step forward and took his big hand, shaking it gently, saying: "After marriage, the two of us will live together in the palace, and the princess will live alone in the North Garden, okay?"
"I have no other choice, right? The princess is my best friend, I can't just watch her fall into the sea of fire. Who can suppress Prince Ning because of your status? If it were someone else, he would have been beheaded on the spot by the emperor."
She does have a medicine, which can help her elder brother and the princess to have a smooth relationship, but doesn't that mean her status is not enough?
Seeing that Xiao Hanye was unmoved, she blinked her big watery eyes and continued innocently: "My Lord, what else are you worried about? Tell me, and I will answer them one by one!"
Looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, Xiao Hanye's mouth twitched.
How come she made excessive demands and it seemed like he was being unkind?
"not at all!"
"Then why don't you agree?" Chu Nanyue was puzzled.
"Can't you just consider it as helping me? Consider this as something I owe you. I will definitely repay you in the future!" Chu Nanyue buried her head in his strong chest, her small hands unconsciously making circles as she spoke in a charming tone.
Xiao Hanye's body trembled, and he felt itchy because of her. He didn't know what he said.
"As you wish!"
Haha, with Xiao Hanye's strong assist, we can kill two birds with one stone.
Although being a prince was a high-risk job in ancient times, it was really useful.
I wish King Yan’s status will be immortal, and I wish King Yan’s love for me will remain the same as before.
At this moment, Chu Nanyue felt indescribably happy. She stood on tiptoes, raised her head and gave him a kiss on the face.
"I knew the prince treated me the best!"
Isn't that good? I will grant your every request.
This scene was seen by Xiao Yihang who just came in. He showed a hint of envy in his eyes, and then said calmly: "I knew that Fourth Brother was with Fourth Sister-in-law."
When Chu Nanyue saw Xiao Yihang come in, she greeted him with a smile and continued to imagine her and Su Xi's beautiful future life of sharing a husband.
When Xiao Hanye saw Xiao Yihang, his dark eyes showed a fox-like cunning, but he said calmly: "Seventh brother, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Yihang looked around and said, "Although Fourth Sister-in-law's shop is small, it seems to be doing pretty good business!"
When he passed the front hall just now, he found that there were many customers coming in and out.
He's been a bit strapped for cash lately and wants to join one.
Chu Nanyue didn't know what he meant, so she replied, "It's OK, I don't have to worry about food and drink."
Xiao Hanye sneered: "How much?"
Xiao Yihang was seen through by his fourth brother at a glance. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. He pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly: "Ten thousand taels!"
This can't be blamed on him. How much can he earn from his salary as a prince? If it's the emperor's birthday, he has to pay for it.
He has no concept of money, and he is not good at managing the properties under his name.
I thought he would be scolded by his fourth brother, but he didn't expect him to say anything and directly replied: "Fengchuan will send 10,000 silver notes to your seventh brother's house tomorrow!"
Xiao Yihang burst into laughter instantly: "I know that Fourth Brother treats me the best. I will return it as soon as I have enough money!"
"Do you rich people always borrow money in units of ten thousand?" Chu Nanyue suddenly asked, "They only help people in emergencies, not in poverty. Prince Chen wants such a large sum of money. As his fourth brother, shouldn't the prince ask about it?"
Xiao Hanye sneered: "What bad intentions could Seventh Brother have? It's just that Father's birthday is coming soon!"
Every year, the old emperor’s birthday was a time for the princes to compete secretly, but he didn’t worry about it. He would give whatever Fengchuan prepared.
It is precisely because of his indifference that Xiao Yihang, his half-brother, pays special attention to this matter. Otherwise, even their mother would be secretly compared.
Women love to compare and gossip, especially women in the harem.
Xiao Hanye didn't care.
As long as he is in power, no one would dare to upset their mother in person; they would just talk a few words behind her back.
But Xiao Yihang, a filial and loyal man, would not tolerate any criticism of his mother.
So over the years, Xiao Hanye has tacitly accepted Xiao Yihang's behavior.
He paid the money secretly, while Xiao Yihang competed for face openly.
