Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 177 Entering the Palace

After Zhao Li finished speaking, she looked at Yunying and Chu Qianyu who were sitting opposite her, and looked them up and down. She saw that the clothes they were wearing were made of materials they had never seen before. And any piece of jewelry they took out was worth half a year's expenses for their family.

His eyes lit up, he was extremely envious. The daughter-in-law and granddaughter of this eldest sister's family were so noble, he must bring something back this time.

Thinking of this, he stood up and walked towards Yunying and the others, saying with a smile: "Oh, I guess these must be Jun'er's wife and daughter. They are really pretty. And their clothes look very valuable. We have never seen them before."

Yunying stood up and said politely, "Thank you for the compliment, aunt."

He didn't intend to continue talking after he finished speaking, which made Zhao Lishi stunned. She thought that since the words were so clear, he would at least give something.

Thinking of this, she stepped forward and grabbed Yunying's wrist, looking at the jade bracelet she was wearing, and even touched it twice, looking very curious. She never took her eyes away.

"Your bracelet is obviously not an ordinary item. Look at its quality. It is really good."

Yunying pulled her hand back with some discomfort, and covered the bracelet with her sleeve without leaving a trace, saying: "This bracelet was given to me by my husband when I got married. So I have always cherished it and taken good care of it. So it still looks good now."

"Oh, that's how it is." Zhao Li was a little discouraged. She didn't expect this man to be so stingy.

Then she turned around and looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Aunt heard that you just married the Regent two days ago. Alas, I wanted to come two days earlier to give you gifts. It rained on the way and delayed me for some time. I hope you don't mind."

"No." Chu Qianyu replied indifferently.

"Now that you are married to the Regent, don't forget us." After Zhao Li finished speaking, she waved to Zhao Qing behind her and said, "Qing'er, come quickly. Come meet your cousin."

Zhao Qing walked up quickly without any greeting. She just looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Hello, cousin."

"Yeah." Chu Qianyu said.

Li Jing looked at this family and suddenly felt like she had seen something dirty. She didn't know why her mother suddenly called these people here. Seeing how they looked so unsophisticated, she felt a little undignified for them to come to the general's mansion.

She leaned close to Chu Ming and whispered, "Why did mother suddenly call these people here? Do you know?"

Chu Ming was also puzzled and shook his head, "I don't know, but mother wouldn't call them here for no reason. There must be something wrong."

Li Jing rolled her eyes at him and said, "You don't even need to tell me that. Even a fool can tell that there must be something going on."

"Ling'er, you two should sit down first. You must be tired after such a long journey. Qing'er and Qianqian will go to the palace together later, so take a rest first."

"Oh, good, good." Zhao Li happily pulled Zhao Qing and sat down. When she came earlier, her elder sister said that she wanted to find a good marriage for Qing'er. Now she actually wants Qing'er to go to the Regent's Palace. This is a great thing.

When Zhao Qing heard this, she was so excited that she could hardly walk. Her legs felt weak, as if she was in a dream.

She could actually go to the Prince Regent's Palace. Everyone knew that the Prince Regent was extremely powerful, and the General's Palace was already this big. The Prince Regent's Palace must be several times bigger than this. Thinking of this, her heart started beating with excitement.

"Follow me to the palace, what does grandma mean?"

Chu Qianyu had long guessed that the old lady was going to do something naughty, but she didn't expect that she would actually state her purpose so directly.

The old lady looked at Chu Qianyu and waved her hand, saying, "Qianyu, don't worry. I was thinking that your aunt's family is a little down and out, and it would be good if we could do our best to help. I was thinking that her granddaughter is about the same age as you now."

The old lady paused for a moment and continued, "You also know that women who marry men of prominent status usually bring one or two relatives or half-sisters along. And you are now marrying the regent, so he will definitely take a concubine in the future. Grandmother is thinking about you, so she thought of Qing'er."

"Also, if you get pregnant in the future, letting Qing'er go to serve the prince will naturally be much better than those unknown people. What do you think, Qianyu?"

Chu Qianyu sneered inwardly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Then he raised his head and faced the old lady and said, "My granddaughter doesn't want to. Now that my granddaughter and the prince have just got married, you are thinking of taking a concubine for the prince. I wonder if you have ever thought about what my granddaughter's situation will be like?"

The old lady had already guessed that she would refuse, and her expression did not change at all. She was still very kind and said, "Qianyu, how could you think of grandma like this? Grandma never said that Qing'er could go directly to the palace to be the prince's concubine. This must be something that the prince is willing to do."

"And grandma knows that you just got married, so you won't do such a thing. Otherwise, you will be laughed at by outsiders. Grandma means that since you are married, you might as well let Qing'er stay by your side and serve you. It won't be too late to talk about it when there is a chance in the future, right?"

"Or, even if you and the prince are unwilling, since she is your cousin, finding a good marriage for her would be a win-win for everyone."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Qing. Although she lived a frugal life at home, she had a good figure and appearance. She looked like a good childbearer. If she spoke sweeter, the old princess might be happy and make the decision.

After Chu Qianyu said this, Li Jing became anxious before she could speak. She stood up and said, "Mother, you can't be partial. Yuan Shuang hasn't found a good family yet, and you are so anxious to find one for an outsider. You..."

Chu Ming quickly pulled the person aside and said, "Shut up, we'll talk about Yuan Shuang later. Can mother still forget our Yuan Shuang?"

"I.."

"What do you mean? Stop making trouble."

The old lady glanced at the two of them, and said with a little displeasure: "I have been thinking about your affairs in my heart. I will make my own arrangements later."

Li Jing was satisfied and sat down.

"Grandma, my granddaughter doesn't need any extra people to serve her. The servants in the palace and my personal maid are enough. You should find another way out for my cousin." Chu Qianyu refused directly.

The old lady knew that this matter would not be so easy to handle, so she used her status as an elder to pressure her and said, "Qianyu, you are making it difficult for grandma. Your aunt traveled a long way to come here. She thought that our family is living a better life now. We should help each other. But I didn't expect you to be like this...ah..."

After saying that, he raised his hand and covered his chest as if he was extremely heartbroken.

Yunying couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to stop them, saying, "Mother, if you want to find a family for Zhao Qing, you can stay in our house for the time being, and we will help you find one later. There's no need for you to go to the palace with Qianqian."

Although she still hadn't accepted the fact that Qianqian was no longer her daughter, she remembered that Qianqian had said three conditions that day. If Zhao Qing went to the palace and destroyed their relationship, that would be bad.
