Chapter 136: Shang Concubine
Chen Yue listened with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that honeycomb coal had monopolized most of Beijing City, bringing more than 10,000 taels of profits every month. He has been staying outside the city for the past two months, basically cut off from his family, and the time to enter the city today is too tight, and he and his father have only chatted a few words, and they have not been involved in the honeycomb coal business.
"Now my monthly dividend is 10,000 taels of silver!" Princess Kunxing said with a smile.
"Hey, why do you want so much silver for a little girl, and besides, is the royal family still short of money?" Chen Yue said with a smile.
"Who said that the royal family is not short of money," Princess Kunxing glanced at Chen Yue, and pouted: "If I am not short of money, why do I want to partner with you to do business, don't you know that my father is worried about the silver, and he is reluctant to buy new clothes all year round." ”
Scared, the emperor is so poor? Chen Yue knew that the imperial court was in financial difficulties, and he often owed officials and Beijing money and food, but he didn't expect it to be in such a difficult situation.
"My father won't allow me to leave the palace again, and it will be difficult to see you again in the future." Kun Xing said suddenly, "Moreover, he also asked the queen mother to choose a horse for me." Speaking of this, Princess Kunxing had a sad face, and she could see that she was very unhappy.
"What? Don't you want to get married? Chen Yue asked with a smile, the girl in front of her was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she would be a junior high school student in the next life, but she didn't expect to get married at such a young age.
"I don't want to, you don't know that it's terrible to get married! My imperial aunt married an ugly man, with a fox smell, crying every time she entered the palace, pitiful tight. Speaking of this, Princess Kunxing looked scared.
"How so? You're princesses, alas! Chen Yue asked in surprise, in his heart, the emperor's daughter is the most delicate woman in the world, she must be able to choose a good man, how can she be so miserable?
"What about the princess? The ancestral family law stipulates that a princess cannot marry the children of nobles, nor can she marry the children of eunuchs, but can only marry small families. There is a difference between the world and the world between the royal family and the small family, and the selection of the horses depends on the eunuchs to choose, but some dog slaves are greedy for money and accept other people's silver, and any kind of man dares to stuff it in front of the royal family. My imperial aunt was deceived into getting married. Princess Kunxing said, her face full of pain.
Looking at the sad appearance of the little princess in front of him, Chen Yue felt a faint heartache in his heart, such a beautiful girl has the most noble identity in the world, shouldn't she be the happiest? But this is not the case, even if she does not marry, she will not be able to escape the tragic fate after a year. When the Dashun army captured the city of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen personally hacked and killed his daughters, one of them did not hack to death, but cut off an arm, it should be Kunxing in front of him!
"Don't worry, you won't be married, at least not for a year." Chen Yue tried hard to put on a smile and said to the girl in front of him. Princess Kunxing should be the princess of Changping in history, the prototype of Jin Yongzhong's one-armed shenni! But in fact, Yuan Chengzhi did not save her, she first fell into the hands of the Shun army, and finally fell into the hands of the Manchu Tartars, and was named the princess of Changping by the Manchu Emperor, and died tragically a year later.
"Really? How do you know? Princess Kunxing looked at Chen Yue in surprise, looking incredulous.
"I just know, do you want to make a bet with me?" Chen Yue smiled. According to historical records, before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Kunxing did not marry.
Looking at Chen Yue's serious face, Princess Kunxing was skeptical, to say that she still trusted Chen Yue's ability very much, after all, she could not only make a lot of money in business, but also kill the Mantars to save the people, and there were not many such talents in the Ming Dynasty. But if Chen Yue can prevent herself from marrying, Kun Xing doesn't believe it very much, because she knows that no one can change her father's mind.
"Bet on it, bet on it, what if you lose?" Kun Xing asked curiously.
"I'm not going to lose, I'll see!" Chen Yue smiled mysteriously, said goodbye to Kun Xing and left. The eunuch who led the way in the distance had already looked here several times, and his face was full of anxiety. This is the inner courtyard of the palace, and I have been talking with Princess Kunxing for too long.
"My father-in-law has worked." Chen Yue smiled and said to the eunuch who led the way, and handed over a silver ticket without the smell of fireworks.
After a slight sweep and saw the numbers on the silver ticket, the eunuch's face quickly eased, "Lord Chen, don't worry, our family won't talk nonsense." But it's been too long, you have to get out of the palace quickly. ”
"Yes, yes, there is Father-in-law." Chen Yue thanked him again and followed him towards the palace gate.
"Que'er, do you think Chen Yue really has a way?" Back in Shouning Palace, Kun Xing couldn't help but ask.
"What's the solution? Alas, I said princess, you really shouldn't have been chatting with that Chen Yue for so long, and besides, he also took your hand, how can this reach His Majesty's ears! Finch looked at her princess with a sad face, and said with hatred that iron is not steel.
"Hey, why do you keep interrupting, I asked Chen Yue if he really has a way?" Princess Kunxing said angrily to the finch.
"What, what?" Finch asked, puzzled.
"Hey, that's right," Kun Xing said about Chen Yue's bet that he wouldn't be a horse in a year.
"Just him?" Finch said disdainfully, "Who does he think he is, and he can interfere in royal affairs!" ”
"You can't say that, Chen Yue, Chen Yue is still very powerful!" Kun Xing glared at Que'er and defended Chen Yue.
"Yes, yes, Chen Yue is very powerful, but he really can't help you with the princess's marriage. Unless......" said the finch with a roll of her eyes.
"Unless what? Say it quickly. Kun Xing grabbed the finch by the arm and shook it.
"Unless, unless he wants to marry the princess!" The finch grinned.
"Ahh Princess Kunxing was stunned for a moment, then she knew that she was being teased, and immediately pounced, pressed the finch on the embroidery bed, and stretched out her hands to pluck her armpits.
"Hahaha, hahaha,......" The finch was squeaky and laughed, and kept begging for mercy, "Princess, the slave is wrong, I don't dare anymore, you can spare me." ”
"Look how dare you talk nonsense!" Princess Kunxing stopped hatefully.
"Alas," said Que'er, as she straightened her clothes and sighed, "Princess, I don't know what to say, if Chen Yue really becomes a colt, then it will be really good for you." ”
"Dead girl, don't say it!" Kun Xing covered his face in shame.
"I'm not talking nonsense, Chen Yue is young, handsome, good-looking, and able to make money, so he was the best candidate for a colt. It's a pity that he has made a contribution and become an official, and it is difficult to become a colt again. The finch sighed.
"Alas!" Princess Kunxing looked ahead in a daze and sighed faintly.
